Chapter 963 Please Me

While Ning Ran was being interviewed, Lu Jingyuan, who had been waiting outside, noticed that Nan Xing had unexpectedly arrived.

Her first reaction was that Ning Ran had summoned the man.

Anyone could tell that Ning Ran was trying to matchmake them both.

Lu Jingyuan remained engrossed in her phone and disregarded his presence.

They had been locked in a cold war for quite some time now.

It had originated from a seemingly insignificant incident. Nan Xing had required a companion for a party and had initially intended to ask Lu Jingyuan to accompany him. However, she had been swamped with work and had no inclination for social engagements, thus declining his invitation.

In a moment of fit, Nan Xing found a young model to accompany him to the party. In a deliberate act of spite, he even shared a photograph of himself with the model on his WeChat Moments.

He deliberately restricted access to everyone except Lu Jingyuan.

Lu Jingyuan comprehended his underlying message, and rather than succumbing to anger, she went ahead and liked the photo.

This unexpected response served as a catalyst for Nan Xing's fury, leading him to remove Lu Jingyuan from his WeChat contacts.

However, he soon regretted his impulsive action and attempted to re-add Lu Jingyuan back on WeChat. To his surprise, she had already deleted him from her contact list.

Despite his pleas for reconciliation, Lu Jingyuan steadfastly refused to reconnect with him.

As the conflict between them intensified, they found themselves embroiled in a full-fledged cold war.

On occasions when Lu Jingyuan had meetings at Nanshi Corporation, Nan Xing would also be present. Yet, they acted like strangers, deliberately ignoring each other's presence.

Unable to bear the tension any longer, Nan Xing reached a breaking point and arrived at the real estate branch with a bouquet of flowers in hand, hoping to reconcile with her.

However, Lu Jingyuan completely disregarded his presence and went so far as to instruct her assistant to discard the flowers he had brought. The incident quickly spread among the employees, further damaging Nan Xing's reputation and intensifying the animosity between them.

As they found themselves face-to-face once again, a subtle air of awkwardness hung between them.

However, Lu Jingyuan had grown accustomed to such coldness. She no longer feared these uneasy encounters.

Nan Xing awkwardly took a seat and cleared his throat. “Lu Jingyuan, I am, after all, the deputy CEO of Nanshi Corporation. My rank is higher than yours. Why are you showing your superior a disdainful look?”

To his annoyance, Lu Jingyuan kept silent and cast a cold, disdainful glance in his direction.

In Flower City, Nan Xing was an undeniable heartthrob. Scores of young and beautiful girls vied for the chance to be with him, yet Lu Jingyuan refused to give him the slightest acknowledgment.

He had reminded himself before arriving that he had paid a hefty sum of twenty thousand for the opportunity to spend time alone with her, and he had resolved to cherish it.

But the sight of Lu Jingyuan's icy demeanor ignited a fire of resentment within him, reigniting his desire to confront her once more.

How dare she act so arrogantly when everyone is going out of their way to please me!

“Lu Jingyuan!”

Lu Jingyuan glanced at him and sneered, “Mr. Xing, is there something you need?”

“Why are you here during working hours?” Nan Xing adopted an authoritative tone.

At least I have a higher rank than you. I don't believe I can't assert my authority over you!

“I'm on leave today,” she replied.

“Have you finished your work? Who approved your leave?” Nan Xing said with a stern face.

The woman was seething with anger.

As a managerial staff, she had the freedom to arrange her working hours. Unlike regular employees who had to clock in and out from nine to five, she had the flexibility to work from home unless an important meeting required her presence.

Moreover, Lu Jingyuan had always been accustomed to working late into the night. Hence, she would never get up before ten o'clock, let alone arrive at the office on time.
