Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Running Into an Old Acquaintance

Nan Qiao and Xiao Jie walked in together, Ke Muran was in the meeting room having an urgent meeting with the technical department.

Xiao Jie knocked on the door, and when Ke Muran saw the person poking their head in, he frowned: “Xiao Jie, why are you here again? Didn’t I tell you to stay outside and not come in for now?”

Xiao Jie chuckled, beaming with sunshine.

“Bro, it’s not that I wanted to come in, it’s because the boss came.”

Nan Qiao appeared, and everyone in the meeting room was shocked, their emotions quickly turning to delight.

“Boss, what brings you here?” Ke Muran was a bit surprised.

Nan Qiao walked in, Xiao Jie closed the meeting room door and left as well.

Nan Qiao walked over, and Ke Muran moved a chair over, wiping it twice with a tissue before inviting Nan Qiao to sit down.

“Boss, Zhao Xun joined Li Nian Technology Company to help Li Chengyan. Otherwise, Li Chengyan wouldn’t have his current achievements,” Ke Muran said.

“Regardless of who Li Chengyan found, as long as he found someone and got them to join, that’s his capability. You should focus on accumulating experience and enhancing your skills. With abilities at hand, you can do anything.”

“Boss, you make sense, we all understand.”

Others also shared their views eagerly.

“Boss, we’re not in a hurry. With you leading our company, any problem can be solved.”

“Boss, you’re our stabilizer.”

“With you here, I’m at ease.”

“They have Zhao Xun, but we have the boss. Zhao Xun’s abilities are definitely below our boss’s.”

Listening to one flattery after another, Nan Qiao almost felt embarrassed.

“Don’t say that, what if I lose to Zhao Xun, it would be a slap in the face.” Nan Qiao covered her face with a playful smile.

Ke Muran: “Even if you lose to Zhao Xun, it would be because he got lucky.”

“Right, even if he got lucky!”

“How many times can Zhao Xun get lucky? He’ll always be the boss’s defeated opponent.”

“Defeated opponents should sometimes be given a little sweetness. Losing so badly, even the boss is embarrassed.”

Nan Qiao: “…”

She sat in the meeting room, surrounded by a group of energetic young men, each praising her until she blushed.

These guys are really…

Too good at flattery.

Ke Muran poured Nan Qiao a cup of hot water: “Boss, drink less coffee, and drink more hot water.”

Nan Qiao indeed couldn’t drink coffee often now, she was about to quit.

“Thank you.” Nan Qiao took a sip of hot water.

“I’ve devised a plan and a project for you to review,” she said, taking out her phone and sending an email to everyone.

The others opened it with curiosity, without any suspicion, only excitement.

Projects proposed by Nan Qiao never failed.

After reading the email, everyone present was excited beyond words.

Nan Qiao said, “This is a project I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Once completed, it will definitely contribute to society. Li Nian Technology Company is not our opponent, you don’t have to keep an eye on them, just do your jobs well.”

Ke Muran: “Boss, don’t worry, we surely won’t cause trouble nor fear it.”

“You should first look at the plan I wrote, study it, and if you have any questions, contact me.”

The plan’s content needs to be digested by them.

Nan Qiao wrote very detailedly, it’s up to them how to implement it.

…

Nan Qiao arrived at Ke Muran’s office, where it was just the two of them.

“Boss, could Zhao Xun be helping Li Chengyan because he knows you’re here and wants to compete with you in another way?”

Zhao Xun and Nan Qiao were old acquaintances.

“If he’s coming for me, he’ll definitely find a chance to meet me. No need to worry, these things won’t affect me, I can handle it.”

Ke Muran laughed: “Boss, you surely won’t make me worry, we trust you with everything.”

“I’ll head back first, have a meeting to discuss the plan I sent, and contact me if there’s any situation.”

Nan Qiao left.

Her visit this time was to reassure everyone.

Don’t panic when problems arise, and don’t panic when facing someone like Zhao Xun.

Nan Qiao left the technology company, all this was seen by a person standing upstairs with binoculars.

…

Nan Qiao walked into a bakery and bought various kinds of bread.

As she walked out, she met an old acquaintance head-on.

Zhao Xun was wearing a black coat, shiny leather shoes, and suit pants that wrapped around his long straight legs.

His skin had a healthy tone, giving off the impression of a tough guy who wouldn’t be easily toppled.

Zhao Xun gave Nan Qiao a sly smile, even waving his hand in greeting.

“Yu Meng, long time no see.” Zhao Xun’s smile didn’t reach his eyes as he sized up the current Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao stopped in her tracks, keeping a certain distance from Zhao Xun, her crystal-clear eyes carried a magic that could see through people’s hearts.

“Only showing up after following me for so long, I thought you had become a cowardly turtle.”

Zhao Xun: “…”

Her tongue is still so sharp.

Great, just right, this is exactly the Yu Meng he wanted to find.

“Yu Meng, I heard you’re in a relationship?”

Nan Qiao: “Whether I’m in a relationship or not is none of your business, right? You followed me all the way just to find out if I’m in a relationship? Zhao Xun, are you secretly in love with me?”

Zhao Xun panicked, and when people are panicked, their voice might involuntarily rise.

“I’m not! Don’t talk nonsense! I’m not interested in you!”

“Oh~” Nan Qiao dragged out the syllable, with a sly smile.

Carrying the bread, Nan Qiao walked away, and Zhao Xun followed behind her, talking as they walked.

“Yu Meng, you’re really not afraid at all that I joined Li Nian Technology? Let me tell you, today is different from the past, I’m not the same Zhao Xun I used to be.”

Nan Qiao stopped in her tracks, eyeing Zhao Xun up and down: “You’re indeed not the old Zhao Xun, you seem to have lost some muscle. Tsk tsk, your figure really isn’t what it used to be.”

Nan Qiao’s words were particularly piercing, which Zhao Xun deeply felt.

Zhao Xun was a fitness fanatic, and one remark from Nan Qiao about losing muscle could make him train for an extra two hours.

Nan Qiao’s light words dealt a fatal blow to Zhao Xun.

“People who sleep together don’t become different, Yu Meng, I don’t think the man you’re seeing is anything good. An ordinary man wouldn’t be able to keep you in line. A man who can control you is extraordinary. He must be quite old, right? A younger one wouldn’t stand a chance against your wits.”

Zhao Xun mumbled to himself, getting more excited as he thought he had caught a hold of Nan Qiao’s weakness.

“You bought things alone, and he’s not by your side. You’re successful at work but unsuccessful in love!” Zhao Xun seemed to have regained his lost ground, feeling much better overall.

The corner of Nan Qiao’s mouth twitched, feeling that Zhao Xun’s mind wasn’t quite right.

He was a technical person, why was he talking like a whining spouse?

Did striking her make him so happy?

At this moment, Li Yehan approached.

Zhao Xun saw Li Yehan, and proactively extended his hand in greeting: “Mr. Li, long time no see.”

Li Yehan brushed past him without extending his hand in return.

Zhao Xun awkwardly withdrew his hand, lifting his head to see Li Yehan standing beside Nan Qiao.

Zhao Xun: ??

“Mr. Li, you know Yu Meng?”

Li Yehan sternly and seriously introduced, “I am the older, useless boyfriend of Yu Meng you were talking about.”

Zhao Xun: “…”
