Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from inside the door. Li Jingran opened the door and walked out. A cold feeling washed over him.

Judging from his expression, he must be in a bad mood.

Aunt Zhang said hesitantly, “Director Li, actually, today’s dinner was made by Miss Xu. She said that you worked hard outside and felt sorry for you, so she insisted on making the food you wanted.”

Of course, Xu Wanwan didn’t say this.

But Aunt Zhang couldn’t bear to see the two quarreling and quarreling. She wanted to set them up, so she continued, “Actually, Miss Xu studies very late every time. She must have worked very hard, but she remembered to cook for you because she was worried that you wouldn’t eat well.”

Li Jingran remained silent. He went downstairs to the dining room and saw a petite figure lying on the table. She seemed to be very tired.

Hearing the footsteps, Xu Wanwan looked as if she had been injected with stimulants. She immediately turned back and said, “It’s time to eat.”

Li Jingran nodded lightly. He did not brush her off and sat across the dining table quietly.

Xu Wanwan quickly went to fill his bowl with rice. “Tonight’s dishes are all prepared according to your taste. You must eat more.”

Seeing that the girl was trying to please him, Li Jingran did not put on a dark face anymore. The two of them finished their meal happily.

Xu Wanwan rushed to clean up the dishes. Aunt Zhang took a step forward and kept winking at her. “Director Li likes to go to the study to practice calligraphy after dinner. You Go and accompany him.”

Xu Wanwan was stunned and didn’t react for a long time.

“What are you standing there for? It’s such a rare opportunity. You must fight for it.”

“Aunt Zhang…”Xu Wanwan smiled helplessly. “I don’t have any other thoughts.”

“Since you don’t have any other thoughts, that’s even better. You’re just going to accompany director Li. What’s wrong with that?”Sister-in-law zhang said seriously. “Director Li has been working overtime for the past few days. You should spend more time talking to him.”

Xu Wanwan could not persuade her, so she nodded and left.

When she went up to the second floor, she saw that the light in the study was still on. The door was open, and light seeped out from inside.

Xu Wanwan stood at the door and hesitated for a while, but she still knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

The man’s faint and cold voice was like a gust of wind in winter, gently landing on her heart.

Xu Wanwan pushed the door open and stood at the door. “I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

Li Jingran sat in front of the brown wooden desk. He did not practice writing, nor did he deal with official business. He stared at the direction outside the window. The side of his face was cold and gloomy, and his chin line was as exquisite as a knife.

“Why are you looking for me?”He turned around and glanced at Xu Wanwan.

“Thank you for what happened in the afternoon,”Xu Wanwan said softly. “I know you want to help me out of kindness. I Don’t blame you. Thank you.”

Now that she thought about it, she also felt that her attitude in the afternoon was a little unappreciative.

Li Jingran was also kind-hearted, but she rejected him mercilessly.

Li Jingran’s thin lips curled into a faint sneer. “Why are you thanking me if you want to take charge?”

Xu Wanwan stood rooted to the ground. “I. . . I just want to try my best to fight for it. If it really doesn’t work, you can help me again.”

“Just like a child learning to walk. In the beginning, he will always be shaky, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to learn to walk by himself.”

Li Jingran’s expression became calmer. He said in a low voice, “Tell me if you have any problems.”

Then, he paused.

“Wanwan.”

Xu Wanwan looked at him in confusion. “Huh?”

“I’ll support whatever you want to do.”Li Jingran looked at her deeply. “Don’t force yourself to be too tired.”

He had been hiding it from him while attending all kinds of banquets just to win over investors. How could he bear to see her running around like this.

A strange emotion rose in Xu Wanwan’s heart.

However, she did not say anything and nodded lightly. “Okay.”

—

After half a month, the first snowfall had arrived in City A.

Thick snow was piled up on both sides of the city streets. The withered yellow branches were covered with a layer of snow white. Gusts of cold wind blew through the fine snow.

Xu Wanwan had just bought a roasted sweet potato at the school gate. She held it in her hand with steam rising from it and exhaled a long breath of white steam.

Lin Jiannan hid her head in her scarf and could not help but stamp her feet. “The weather really changes at will. Two days ago, the sun was still shining brightly, but today, the temperature has dropped drastically.”

Xu Wanwan nodded and took a bite of the sweet potato. It was sweet to her heart.

“Is Big CEO Li coming to pick you up today?”Lin Jiannan looked around and saw her own car.

Li Jingran’s work had been much easier these few days. After work, he would always come to pick her up from school.

Xu Wanwan looked around and saw that he had not come yet, so she said lightly, “I’ll wait for a while more. You Go back first.”

“Alright then, see you tomorrow!”Lin Jiannan waved her hand and then turned to get into the car.

Xu Wanwan stood by the roadside and waited for a while. Just when she was about to call a taxi and go back, her cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

It must be Li Jingran calling.

Her eyes lit up slightly. When she took out her cell phone and saw the caller ID, her heart sank.

“CEO Gao, is there a problem with Teng Feng’s Blueprint?”

A few days ago, she had submitted the blueprint that had been revised for almost a month to CEO Teng.

Although the feedback was very good, she was worried that there would be new requests.

Gao Zongsheng’s cheerful laughter came from the other end of the phone, “No, no, I’m calling you to invite you to attend Teng Feng Real Estate’s celebratory banquet!”

Xu Wanwan was stunned, “Celebratory banquet?”

“Miss Xu, this is all thanks to you!”Gao Zongsheng said, unable to contain his joy, “The blueprints that you designed received very high recognition in Teng Feng real estate. The company adopted your design at that time, and the response was very good. Many companies fought to cooperate with President Teng First.”

“Our Anqing Company also came back from the dead because of this order. Many university graduates in the industry have chosen our company. This is all thanks to you.”

“You must come to President Teng’s celebration party. I will definitely have a few drinks with you then.”

Xu Wanwan was also very happy when she heard this news.

It was also her honor to have so many people approve of her design.

The corners of her lips curved into a smile as she said, “No problem. I’ll definitely attend.”

After hanging up the phone, the snow gradually stopped.

A dark gray cayenne drove by the roadside. The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a familiar profile.

“Miss Xu, long time no see.”

The surprise in Xu Wanwan’s eyes became even stronger. “Director Yang?”

Yang Jiacheng nodded lightly. “Let’s talk in the car.”

Xu Wanwan was slightly emotional at this moment. She had forgotten that Li Jingran might come to pick her up later.

She got into the car very quickly and couldn’t help but ask, “Director Yang, how did you know I Was Here?”

“I was just discussing a collaboration here. I didn’t expect to see you by the roadside.”

Yang Jiacheng’s expression was gentle, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. “I heard about the matter with Teng Feng Corporation. You brought great benefits to the blueprint they designed.”

“I very much recognize your ability. Regarding our cooperation, I think it can be put on the agenda.”
