The woman standing in front of An Ran had a face similar to Sheng Manru's, wore the exact same skirt, had the same long curly hair, and even had a similar figure.
But An Ran realized almost immediately that this woman was not Sheng Manru.
Sheng Manru has a clear temperament, like a transparent crystal stone. But this woman's breath is cold, like a poisonous snake spitting out its core.
An Ran took a step back subconsciously, her clear eyes full of wariness, and asked: "Who are you? Why are you deliberately pretending to be Sheng Manru?"
If they have similar looks and bodies, maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, there are many similar people in the world. But if they even have the same hairstyle or even the clothes they wear, it's definitely not normal.
"Don't be nervous." The woman's tone was always calm, as if she had deliberately changed her original voice. "I have no ill intentions, I just want to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"I don't know you!" An Ran took another step back. She was like a little beast that sensed danger, ready to turn around and run away at any time. "If you dare to mess around, I'll call someone!"
"Don't you want to see him?" The woman seemed to understand An Ran's psychology well and could accurately grasp her lifeline.
An Ran's heart skipped a beat, and her feet that were about to take a step stopped again. Perhaps because of her thoughts day and night, she could almost immediately understand the other party's vague words. "Who?"
"Play dumb with me? Do you know who it is!" The woman's voice was very low, but it was enough for An Ran to hear clearly. "Of course it's the person you want to see so much!"
An Ran's eyelids twitched and she looked at the woman in front of her again. She was disguised in disguise, and it was really difficult to distinguish her true face for a while. But an idea flashed in her mind, and she almost guessed: "You called me that day.
Man...you are Bai Shiwei!"
"It doesn't matter who I am! No matter Sheng Manru or Bai Shiwei, as long as they can lead you to find him, that's enough, are you right?" The woman's voice was like a poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden that bewitched humans to eat forbidden fruit, cold, sticky and full of temptation.
sex.
An Ran subconsciously clenched her bag tightly, and her nails dug into the cortex habitually. This was a sign of her nervousness, and it was also a sign of her vague premonition of danger.
When Nie Canghao sent her here, he once told her: "...if that person calls you again or asks you to meet, you must tell me first! He is very dangerous and may threaten your safety. If
He used Nie Qingyu's whereabouts as bait to lure you in. You must not believe his words, let alone meet him in private..."
An Ran's breathing quickened, and she stared at the mysterious woman in front of her with clear eyes. She remembered that the woman who called her that day was Bai Shiwei, but she was not sure about whether the woman in front of her was Bai Shiwei.
But the other party was right. As long as he could take her to see Nie Qingyu, it didn't matter who she was.
But Nie Canghao's warning was so severe... maybe that guy was just alarmist! He was afraid that she would find Nie Qingyu's whereabouts, and of course he didn't want her to get any clues about Nie Qingyu.
An Ran's mind was filled with a battle between heaven and man, but the balance of reason slowly tilted towards Nie Qingyu. She was so eager to see Nie Qingyu that she didn't want to let go of any news about him.
"Don't act like you've seen the devil, you'll attract the attention of the bodyguard!" the woman reminded her in a low voice.
"What, what bodyguard?" An Ran was stunned.
"There are two bodyguards sent by Nie Canghao to secretly protect... and secretly monitor you." The woman reminded her, "Don't look back, I don't know where they are hiding. Just talk to me normally, they
Thinking that I am Sheng Manru, I won’t suspect anything."
An Ran understood. It turned out that the other party, Qiao, pretended to be Sheng Manru not to deceive her, but to deceive the bodyguards who were following her in secret.
As expected, Nie Canghao sent someone to keep an eye on her at all times. This guy... She felt agitated and immediately threw away Nie Canghao's instructions.
This man is so controlling, he is simply a pervert. She would be crazy to believe his lies!
"Can you tell me where Nie Qingyu is?" An Ran finally asked softly.
The woman finally achieved her goal. She smiled in victory and said slowly: "Of course, I came to you just to tell you this secret. You are his fiancée and have the right to know his true situation."
An Ran's heart skipped a beat, and then she lowered her eyes sadly. She was Nie Qingyu's fiancée, but she was married to another man.
She actually married the wrong person! She didn't find out for more than three years!
At this moment, she particularly hated her own stupidity and slowness, and also particularly hated Nie Canghao who deliberately deceived her.
When the truth was revealed, she was also angry and tried to seek justice from Nie Canghao. But in front of this cruel man, there was never any justice.
She was mistreated, let alone fair, and even her self-esteem and bottom line were reduced one after another.
What qualifications does she have to face Nie Qingyu like this? For a moment, An Ran was filled with thoughts and her mind was in a trance.
"...Calm down, now is not the time to be in a daze!" the woman reminded her again, with a rational and cold tone. "You need to cooperate with me, and we will find a way to deceive the bodyguards who are following you! As long as we get rid of these two tails
, I will take you to find Nie Qingyu!"
Nie Group Company Building, shareholders meeting room.
Because Mr. Nie was in extremely bad health and could not bear the long video conference, he got right to the point after the ten-minute warm-up.
"... Due to the wanton behavior of Nie Canghao, the acting president of the group some time ago, it has caused huge economic losses and reputational damage to the company. In the name and capacity of the chairman of the group, I officially announce the removal of Nie Canghao as acting executive president.
position, Vice President Nie Cheng will temporarily assume the role of CEO."
"Nie Canghao is relieved of all positions, takes back all rights, and is sent to the grassroots level to practice again..."
Having said this, Mr. Nie paused at the right time and kept panting. After all, he said so many words in one breath, even with an oxygen tube inserted, he felt like he didn't have enough air.
The conference room suddenly exploded with a "boom", and all the shareholders were whispering to each other.
This is really an unpredictable world, and fate plays tricks on people. Who would have thought that as soon as Mr. Nie woke up, he would remove Nie Canghao from all his posts and send him to the grassroots level to start training again. This is simply too cruel.
I really can't imagine how Nie Canghao, the once all-powerful business emperor, would face such a huge gap in status and psychology.
Nie Cheng straightened his back proudly, with a proud look on his face. When Nie Haiyan saw that his father was appointed as the acting CEO of the group, his position in the company would naturally skyrocket, and he was naturally even more proud.
The father and son of the second room of the Nie family both cast ostentatious and provocative glances at Nie Canghao.
Nie Canghao has always remained indifferent, his expression and posture are still as noble as an emperor, as if he is not aware of his plummeting status.
It wasn't until the legal staff came over to ask him to cooperate with the resignation procedures that he spoke slowly: "The chairman is ill and confused. There are so many unreasonable and illegal steps. I'm sorry that it's difficult for me to cooperate with the resignation."
"It's useless if you don't cooperate! The rights in your hands were given by me, and I can take them back at any time!" Mr. Nie stared at him fiercely across the screen, almost gritting his teeth: "Boy, as long as my old man is alive for one day
, there will be no chance for you to rebel!"
Everyone was frightened by Mr. Nie's remaining power, and they all fell into silence.
Nie Canghao chuckled. This laughter did not contain sarcasm or malice. It seemed that he simply couldn't help being amused. "The chairman is really sick and confused. You forgot what agreement I signed when I was acting president.
?The legal affairs are here, why not ask them to help check whether it is in compliance with the regulations for you to chase me away with just one mouthful."
"I'm not confused, I remember it!" Mr. Nie lost his temper and raised his voice. "Your unauthorized actions caused double losses to the company's economy and reputation, which is already a serious negligence. As the chairman, I have
The right to remove you from all positions!"
Nie Canghao did not argue until the legal affairs department came up with a supplementary clause:
"Chairman, additional clauses indicate that as long as the acting president can recover economic losses, reputational losses will not be pursued."
"So far, through the acting president's rescue actions, the group's stock price has rebounded steadily and is basically the same as the price before the press conference."
"If the chairman wants to remove the acting president, there is only one way... shareholders vote according to the proportion of equity in their hands! One vote for every one percent of equity!"
Nie Cheng heard something was wrong: "What bailout? When did he bail out the market?"
The legal department also produced evidence that Nie Canghao spent huge sums of money to enter the group when the group's stock price fell to the limit three times in a row. Almost all the plummeting stocks were pocketed by Nie Canghao.
Nie Cheng stood up abruptly, pointed at his nephew and yelled: "Despicable, shameless! You maliciously suppressed the stock price in order to gain chips!"
"Vice President Nie is careful to say that when the company's stock price plummeted, it was reasonable and legal for me to step in to rescue the market. How could I maliciously suppress the stock price? If you can't produce evidence, be careful I will send you a lawyer's letter accusing you of defamation!" Nie Canghao did not panic.
Fight back hurriedly.
Just as the uncle and nephew started to quarrel with each other, Xiao Gao hurriedly walked to Nie Canghao's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Nie Canghao was startled, and his brows suddenly frowned.
But the meeting was at an emergency moment, and he couldn't get away. He could only send a message to Huo Yan on his mobile phone: "Didn't you say you had an appointment with Sheng Manru for dinner tonight? Why did she and An Ran go to the local cemetery?"
After a while, Huo Yan replied to the message: "What did you say? Sheng Manru was sitting next to me and eating with me! She said she separated from An Ran in the mall!"
Nie Canghao stood up in confusion. He ignored the meeting in the middle and only told Xiao Gao: "You stay and let Secretary Hao immediately summon the legal team to prepare for the lawsuit!"
"President, you...are you leaving now?" Xiao Gao was anxious and reminded in a low voice: "You can't leave now! Just leave that matter to Ahao!"
It was Ah Hao who discovered that An Ran had gone to the local cemetery and felt it was strange, so he asked Xiao Gao to come over and ask Nie Canghao for instructions.
Nie Canghao didn't have time to explain anything to Xiao Gaoduo. In full view of everyone, he called Ah Hao and hurriedly left the president's office.
"...Ah Hao, you rush over immediately, I will be there soon! An Ran is in danger..."
