Chapter 443 I'm about to unleash my ultimate move.
Xie Changle felt a burning gaze and looked up to find Zhang Wen staring straight at his brother. "Haven't you ever seen a man before? Why are you staring at my brother?"
Zhang Wen's face instantly turned bright red, and she hurriedly buried her head to hide her embarrassment.
Xie Chang'an ate mechanically, like a blockhead.
Zhang Ming glanced at Xie Chang'an, who was eating with his head down, and chuckled as he tried to smooth things over, "I've lived most of my life and I've never seen such a handsome young man as Consultant Xie. It's normal that my daughter hasn't either!"
Xie Changle was speechless; there was nothing wrong with what he said!
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Luo Ning shed her pretentious persona, opened her lunchbox, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Comrades, I'm about to unleash my ultimate move!"
She glanced at her watch. "I can finish this lunchbox in three minutes!"
Qiangzi scoffed, "You're kidding me!"
Luo Baiwan and Luo Yang were also skeptical, judging by their eyes that Luo Ning couldn't finish it.
However, Xie Chang'an believed that it was normal for Luo Ning to eat quickly, given that he had served in the military.
He caught a glimpse of Luo Ning's new watch out of the corner of his eye, and a dull ache lingered in his heart.
Zhang Wen secretly raised her eyes to look at Xie Chang'an. This man was so handsome even when he was eating. Her girlish heart was completely overwhelmed.
"Exactly three minutes!" Luo Ning put the lunchbox on the table and even burped.
Luo Baiwan and his two companions stared in disbelief the entire time.
"You guys eat slowly, I'm going out to digest!" Luo Ning got up and walked out, muttering to herself as she passed Wang Tiejun.
Wang Tiejun nodded happily and watched her leave.
Xie Chang'an put down his chopsticks and chased after him.
"Hey, Consultant Xie, where are you going? You haven't finished your meal yet!" Zhang Wen put down her barely touched food and hurriedly got up to follow her.
Xie Changle turned to look at his brother's empty lunchbox, put down his own food, and chased after him.
Luo Baiwan looked at the untouched food, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to stay for dinner.
Da Ya is capable; Xie Chang'an can't do anything to her right now.
Luo Baiwan felt a pang of jealousy. He hadn't even had a sip of the wine his son-in-law had bought, and now his son-in-law was going to run off with another woman. It was infuriating!
Zhang Ming ate his meal with a smile, knowing that he would soon be drinking the wine for his son-in-law.
When Xie Chang'an chased after her, he obviously didn't find Luo Ning; there was no miracle to be found.
Zhang Wen followed Xie Chang'an around, chattering away as she introduced herself, as if she wanted to tell Xie Chang'an everything about her life over the past 20 years.
Unable to find Luo Ning, Xie Chang'an shot her a sharp, icy gaze and yelled, "Get lost!"
She shuddered and instinctively shut her mouth.
Xie Changle breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly terrified; women can be toxic when they start nagging!
Zhang Wen stood there blankly, watching Xie Chang'an and his brother walk away. She felt inexplicably wronged, and her eyes filled with tears.
After Wang Tiejun and his group finished their meal, they returned to the conference room and encountered people who had left the company a few days earlier.
In the low-rise houses near the garment factory, Ni Jinshui looked at the empty rice jar and sighed deeply.
He's been away from the factory for several days now, and no one has come to invite him back.
If he doesn't go back, he won't be able to survive on his own, let alone send money to his wife back home or pay for his mother's surgery.
Suddenly there was a knock on his door, and Ni Jinshui was overjoyed.
He ran quickly to open the door, only to see a strange, heavily pregnant man. "You are..."
Half an hour later, Ni Jinshui went to the clothing company's office building and saw Wang Tiejun returning with the company's senior executives.
"Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry, I was momentarily blinded by greed a few days ago..."
"Sorry, I don't know him!" Wang Tiejun walked past from the side, leaving Ni Jinshui hanging.
Ni Jinshui was instantly stunned. He had only been gone for a few days, how could Wang Tiejun turn his back on him?
People kept walking past, but almost all of them were unfamiliar faces.
Ni Jinshui was almost certain that, in addition to the leadership team brought by Wang Tiejun, he had also recruited new people.
A few days ago, a notice was posted at the door recruiting female workers, but he didn't pay any attention to it. Ni Jinshui never expected that they would actually recruit senior management directly.
What should he do now?
Ni Jinshui, who was pacing anxiously, saw Sun Wende approaching and hurriedly went to greet him.
"Old Sun, I... I know I was wrong. Could you please put in a good word for me with Boss Wang?"
Sun Wende hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Ni Jinshui expressed his deepest gratitude, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.
Zhao Xinghua sighed inwardly and walked past.
Ni Jinshui's position has already been taken. Old Sun can't refuse, and he might even lose face himself.
Sure enough, when he went in, he saw Sun Wende being reprimanded.
Zhao Xinghua touched his nose and returned to his seat.
Ni Jinshui waited for a long time but Sun Wende didn't come out. Knowing the outcome, he gritted his teeth and left.
As dusk settled, Luo Ning swaggered into the municipal government building carrying a thermos and headed straight for Huo Lifeng's office.
Hearing footsteps, Huo Lifeng looked up and saw Luo Ning. His eyes lit up. "What brings you here?"
Luo Ning went inside and placed the thermos on the desk. "Eating alone is too lonely. Uncle, would you do me the honor of joining me?"
"Okay!" Huo Lifeng was feeling a bit hungry. He had eaten lunch, but he was called away for a last-minute meeting halfway through.
Luo Ning, that quirky girl, clearly came specifically to bring him food, yet she made up excuses to make it seem natural. She's such a clever and witty girl.
If only his sister's child were this smart, but he still hasn't had the chance to meet that child, and his sister's health...
"Thank you so much!" Luo Ning opened the thermos, and a fragrant aroma quickly filled the room.
Huo Lifeng sniffed, feeling even hungrier.
Luo Ning placed a bowl of chicken soup with rice in front of Huo Lifeng and put a spoon in it.
"Uncle, please taste it to see if it's salty enough. I haven't cooked in a while, I wonder if my cooking skills have deteriorated!"
"Hmm..." Huo Lifeng was deeply moved. This was truly a clever and considerate girl.
He has a sensitive stomach and is used to drinking soup before every meal. Today he was very hungry, so Luo Ning made him rice soup.
It can both satisfy his hunger and make his stomach feel more comfortable.
Xie Chang'an is truly blessed to have married such a kind and intelligent girl.
However, their marriage was arranged, and the faint worry between Luo Ning's brows made him somewhat concerned.
Even he himself didn't realize that he had come to regard Luo Ning as his niece from the bottom of his heart.
Luo Ning placed several layers of insulated containers in front of Huo Lifeng and said with a smile, seemingly unintentionally, "Uncle, you can't let your mind wander while you're eating, it's bad for your stomach!"
Huo Lifeng readily agreed, took a sip of chicken soup, and voiced the doubt that had been lingering in his mind.
"Luoning, I've always wanted to know why you know so much about my affairs!"
Tsk tsk, it's finally here!
General Luo Ning took out his officer's ID and pushed it in front of Huo Lifeng.
Huo Lifeng was slightly taken aback. He put down his spoon, picked up his officer's ID, and opened it. His eyes widened in shock. A colonel, and an active-duty one at that… This…
How come he couldn't find it?
"Uncle, no one can find out about my identity, but I need to find out something, umm..."
Luo Ning offered a half-hearted explanation; she had never really thought of how to explain that she knew about Huo Lifeng's private affairs.
It wasn't until she arrived in Jidu and investigated the Huo family that she came up with this excuse.
This excuse, similar to that of the nun Wu Hui, made her invincible.
Huo Lifeng instantly felt relieved and vaguely understood something.
Luo Ning casually brought up something while munching on a radish, as if to say that tonight we'll just have rice soaked in soup and that's all.
