An Ran quickly found the shopping mall where Sheng Manru was located, which was also on this pedestrian street, but it required a fifteen-minute walk.
"Wow, it's such a hot day that you can come over and help me. It's definitely true love!" Sheng Manru gave An Ran a big hug when they met and looked her up and down. "Hey, Teacher An, are you okay?"
An Ran said angrily: "I can't bear to walk for more than ten minutes in the hot weather to come here to be with you! But I'm sweating all over, so you need to buy me a cold drink."
"No problem! You can choose hot or cold drinks later!" Sheng Manru immediately tried on the skirts she had chosen and showed them to her one by one.
An Ran helped her choose two pairs, feeling a little embarrassed: "Both of them are very beautiful...but a bit expensive, otherwise you can buy them both."
Sheng Manru didn’t hesitate: “I bought them all!”
An Ran was stunned: "Two skirts are nearly eight thousand yuan, you are really willing to give up."
Sheng Manru couldn't help but want to laugh and imitated her tone: "A tail ring costs 28,000, you are really willing to give it up."
safely:"……"
Sheng Manru happily went to swipe her credit card to pay the bill, but didn't notice the dejection in An Ran's eyes.
An Ran has always been very frugal and never willing to buy luxury goods. When she spent thousands of dollars to buy the tail ring, it was actually given to Nie Qingyu.
As a result... Nie Canghao crushed it into a lump of metal particles and threw it directly into the trash can. Thinking of this, she felt very sad.
I don’t know whether it’s because she really felt that she paid by mistake, or because Nie Canghao crushed the ring she spent a lot of money on.
After Sheng Manru paid the bill, she put on one of the new skirts, then took An Ran's hand and took the elevator to the floor below to buy cold drinks.
The two of them sat in the cold drink shop, each ordered their favorite drinks, and chatted while drinking.
An Ran spoke very generally about her current situation, and did not want others to know that she was embarrassed and pitiful. She only said that she had some conflicts with Nie Canghao, and he locked her up again because of his male chauvinism.
As she spoke, she hid her wrist under the cold drink table.
Fortunately, she was wearing a large silver bracelet, so you wouldn't notice the scars on her wrists unless you looked carefully.
"I'm really nervous to have dinner with Huo Yan tonight, An Ran, please come with me!" Sheng Manru suggested.
"Ahem!" An Ran almost choked on the drink in her mouth. She hurriedly waved her hand to refuse. "No, no... I don't make light bulbs!"
Eating with Huo Yan? It's strange that she can eat a grain of rice.
In her eyes, Huo Yan is like a monster. Wherever he goes, there is no grass growing within ten miles!
"Have you agreed to have dinner with your husband?" Sheng Manru asked again.
"No! I just ate... I won't eat tonight."
Sheng Manru looked at the time in surprise: "It's half past four now. Did you just have lunch or dinner?"
safely:"……"
How should she explain it to her? That Nie Canghao suddenly decided to go on a field trip, which led to a serious late lunch time? Or that she had fallen to the point of letting the other party take whatever he wanted in exchange for the right to freedom.
Her brief resistance led to even more perverted punishments. She retreated steadily in front of that cruel man, and her bottom line was completely lost. She gave up all her self-esteem and moral integrity.
Each of these things is an unspeakable shame for her!
She could only lower her head and drink the cold drink without speaking.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Sheng Manru realized that Anran was in a bad mood, so she changed the topic at the right time.
The news of Mr. Nie's awakening has spread throughout the Nie Group, and all shareholders, large and small, are silently waiting for the situation to be reshuffled.
But no one could have imagined that Nie Cheng would be so impatient. At four o'clock in the afternoon, shareholders suddenly received an emergency meeting notice. The chairman would personally attend the meeting via video link, and major decisions would be announced.
Everyone has speculated that there may be a change in the position of the company's CEO, which is related to the issue of whether the current acting president Nie Canghao will stay.
Speaking of which, Nie Group's brilliant achievements today are absolutely inseparable from Nie Canghao's painstaking efforts of more than three years.
If we say that we are driving him out of the company now, it would be a bit unreasonable. But the fact is that it is so cruel.
Those who are smiling happily today may not even have a chance to cry tomorrow and will be ruthlessly eliminated.
Nie Cheng encouraged him inside and out, and because of Mr. Nie's golden name, he finally successfully organized a decent shareholders' meeting.
Although this meeting was extremely hasty, and even though the meeting was officially held at 4:30 in the afternoon, Nie Cheng couldn't care about it anymore. He had to decide on the overall situation as soon as possible.
He was not sure whether his terminally ill old father could survive tonight, so the shareholders' meeting could not be postponed until tomorrow morning.
Once the old man is gone, who among the big and small shareholders in the company can still take Nie Cheng seriously?
Under such circumstances, towards evening, the shareholders' meeting started in a noisy and chaotic manner.
As if Nie Cheng didn't think it was chaotic enough, he brought his illegitimate son Nie Haiyan in when he entered the conference room.
All shareholders knew Nie Haiyan because they had all received a mass email from Nie Cheng. In that email was Nie Haiyan's detailed information, including his photo, height, weight, the school he attended, and the degrees he had obtained. In addition, there were
Nie Haiyan and Nie Cheng’s paternity test form, Nie Haiyan and Mr. Nie’s DNA test form, etc.
Everyone has already understood all aspects of Nie Haiyan, so naturally it has no shocking effect.
When Nie Cheng introduced Nie Haiyan to the shareholders, he only received sparse and perfunctory applause and many teasing or mocking looks, which made him hate Nie Canghao even more.
It was obvious that he had hidden his biggest trump card, but because of Nie Canghao's troubles, he leaked his trump card early. Now there is no shock effect at all, and all he gets is full of sarcasm and ridicule.
Fortunately, Nie Cheng was thick-skinned enough, and Nie Haiyan knew his true story. The father and son sat down in the vice president's seat as if nothing had happened, despite all kinds of looks, and then turned on the video conference mode.
"Now we invite Mr. Nie, the chairman of the group, to participate in the video conference!" Nie Cheng took the lead in applauding.
When Mr. Nie, wearing a hospital gown with an oxygen tube inserted into his nostrils, appeared on the big projection screen, everyone applauded again. This time it was a real warm applause that lasted for a long time.
If the group company is a super aircraft carrier and Nie Canghao is the helmsman, then Mr. Nie is the captain.
Even though the old man was skinny and extremely ill at this time, no one dared to have any disrespect or objection to him due to his lifetime of prestige.
Mr. Nie's face was ugly, but his old eyes were still majestic and lively. He waved at the screen, which was regarded as saying hello to the shareholders.
Nie Cheng looked at his old father longingly and couldn't help but interject: "Dad, I brought Hai Yan into the company. He has reached the age where he should have some experience, and he should learn to help you share your responsibilities."
"Well," Mr. Nie nodded lightly, acknowledging that Nie Haiyan entered the company with his permission. "Young people have a lot to learn. They must be open-minded and guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
At this point, he added meaningfully: "I despise those so-called arrogant people the most. They are crazy about their abilities and don't know the world. The family tradition of our Nie family is to be humble and low-key, and we will not tolerate crazy people."
!”
These words almost pointed at Nie Canghao's nose and cursed him.
Nie Canghao was also able to keep his composure. He sat on the CEO's seat and looked coldly at a big show performed by the three Nie family members. It was as if he was an outsider and had nothing to do with him.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, An Ran and Sheng Manru finally separated in the store.
An Ran was originally ready to leave, but when she heard that Huo Yan was driving downstairs waiting to pick up Sheng Manru, she was so frightened that she dared not go downstairs.
"You go first, I'll go shopping... I want to buy another bag." An Ran, who had no shortage of bags at all, made an excuse. She would never dare to follow Sheng Manru downstairs at this time, in case she was fooled by Huo Yan.
What should I do if I see her?
How could Sheng Manru have imagined An Ran's almost morbid fear of Huo Yan? What's more, she was immersed in her upcoming love affair with Huo Yan, and her whole body was filled with pink bubbles. "Then I'll leave first. Don't run around, remember to let me know."
Your husband is here to pick you up."
"I know, I know, go ahead." An Ran even forgot the principle of denying that Nie Canghao was her husband, and was busy urging Sheng Manru.
It seemed that if Sheng Manru walked slower, she might attract Huo Yan.
After finally getting rid of Sheng Manru, An Ran wiped the sweat from her forehead and relaxed a little.
She didn't dare to go downstairs at this time, so she might as well wait a little longer.
Walking alone in the leather goods counter area, she picked up a few bags and looked at them, but she actually had no intention of buying them.
Nie Canghao is responsible for all her clothing, shoes, bags, accessories and other expenses. Every time the seasons change, major brands compete to provide color pages of new products for her to choose from. All expenses come from Nie Canghao's
Deducted from personal account.
An Ran usually doesn't go to shopping malls, and even when she does, she just takes a look. After all, she is very frugal and is usually reluctant to buy big-name brands. Otherwise, she would not have been able to save more than 300,000 yuan with her salary after working in the band for three years.
A huge amount of money was saved.
Just when An Ran was holding up a bag to admire, suddenly a woman's deep and cold voice sounded from behind: "An Ran."
An Ran turned her head and saw Sheng Manru standing beside her. She was extremely surprised and asked: "Why are you back again..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly choked up and looked at the woman in surprise.
A strange feeling came over her, and she blurted out: "You are not Sheng Manru, who are you!"
