Chapter 299: I think I saw Nan Jiaojiao

Nan Jiaojiao turned over her phone, sneakily took a big sip of milk tea, then picked up her phone again.

Bo Yanching had sent a new message: “If you really want to drink, just one sip, don’t get greedy.”

Startled, Nan Jiaojiao sat up straight, looked out the window, looked up at the sky, but saw no drones, nor any surveillance on the balcony.

Spooky.

She replied to him: “Where did you place surveillance on me?”

Bo Yanching replied instantly: “Guess.”

…Why dig a hole just to jump into it!

Nan Jiaojiao kicked her phone away, clutched her milk tea intending to drink, but couldn’t bring herself to do it; after some thought, she tore off the lid, poured the milk tea away before throwing out the cup; she feared that if she threw it directly, she would get up at midnight to go through the trash.

In the days that followed, Nan Jiaojiao was held up at the branch office by Pei Dongshi, staring at a heap of incomprehensible reports.

She either played games or dozed off, feeling as if one day was longer than a year; unable to adapt to this lifestyle, she simply lay there drawing design drafts, and managed to come up with several.

After looking at them, Pei Dongshi immediately approved and instructed his assistant to post them on the official Weibo account.

Less than two minutes later, the reservation channel was closed; Sweetheart’s personal designs were always in high demand.

Out of happiness, he let her go back to her country ahead of schedule.

Once out of the airport, Nan Jiaojiao spotted Lu Zhenzhen at first glance.

She was leaning against a car, a rare sight not in her small suit, paired with a fox fur coat and a purple long dress underneath.

Her hair was styled into soft curls, and on one side, a pearl hair clip pinned it back, revealing crescent-shaped earrings that dangled down to her collarbone.

Her expression was particularly domineering when she didn’t smile.

As Nan Jiaojiao got closer, she heard a sentence: “You have two days at most; if you can’t come up with a plan that satisfies me, prepare to work overtime.

Daring to ask for overtime pay while slacking off?

Does grandma give you that much guts?

Get to it!”

Nan Jiaojiao shivered and quietly tightened her collar, not daring to make a sound, standing obediently aside like a child being punished.

It was still Lu Zhenzhen who noticed her, took her hand, and led her into the passenger seat, but didn’t walk away immediately.

She leaned with one hand on the car roof, still on the phone.

Even in her anger, she didn’t forget to delegate work, only closing the door on this side after she finished the call.

“Dressed like this, where are you coming from?” Nan Jiaojiao asked.

Lu Zhenzhen shivered and suddenly hugged herself, sneezing twice, “Damn, isn’t the heater on?”

Nan Jiaojiao: “Miss, I believe this is your car.”

“Oh, I must have forgotten to turn it on,” Lu Zhenzhen cranked up the heater, “It was a wine reception, I was bored stiff, Ah Zhe didn’t go either, just not fun at all.

It was perfect timing when you called, so I found an excuse to leave.”

“You didn’t delay work just to pick me up, did you?”

Lu Zhenzhen gave a soft chuckle, reached over, and ruffled Nan Jiaojiao’s hair, “You can think of it that way if you want, but you’re not going to hold up my work, don’t overthink it.”

Nan Jiaojiao thought about it and agreed.

Lu Zhenzhen was very competent at her job.

Although Lu’s and Gao’s had joint projects, Gao Zhe never interfered with Lu’s internal affairs.

As Lu Zhenzhen put it, if one day she can’t stand being with Gao Zhe any longer, they could split up cleanly, without having to deal with a prenuptial property settlement even before they’re married.

Dinner was had at Wang’s Tavern, and they left after finishing.

Huo Linxi had just parked the car and glanced over, why did he see Nan Jiaojiao?

He went up the elevator and pushed open the private room door.

The smell of alcohol mixed with the warm air hit his face, and he hung his coat on the rack.

He didn’t know who passed him a drink, but he took it and drank.

“By the way, Brother Yan, I think I saw Nan Jiaojiao downstairs just now.”
