When I walked out of the study, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, and downstairs, Si Tianzhe was still waiting for me in the living room.

When he saw me go downstairs, he got up and greeted me.

I hid the wetness in my eyes and met his slightly worried gaze.

"Huaxuan Group's cooperation case, do you want to compete with me?" I smiled, and only then did I realize that just like the Keshi agency that time, Lin Meng and Si Shi in Huaxuan's case this time are still in the same competition, I don't know if it is a coincidence or a destiny.

He was slightly stunned, and his eyes showed disbelief, but my gaze was insistent, and there was no joke.

Raising the corners of his lips, his eyes glazed over, "Fight, I won't back down." ”

Now it's my turn to be slightly stunned.

He has really changed, he has become more sensible, and he used to give up the agency of Cosh desperately without recklessness, but now, business belongs to business and feelings belong to feelings, and he is thoroughly divided.

This kind of self-control, which I can't help but admire, is very much in line with the behavior that a president should have.

I couldn't help but curl the corners of my mouth and look at him a little distractedly.

"Your gaze like this will make me think otherwise......" He suddenly narrowed his eyes with a meaningful expression.

"Mr. Si, welcome."

Before I could refute anything, my grandmother had already changed her clothes and walked downstairs.

Early the next morning, I said goodbye to my grandmother and went back to England.

Since I was going to take over Lin Meng's business in Europe temporarily, my grandmother arranged for me to live in London, closer to the group's headquarters, so that I could handle my work.

Moving to the place where he grew up, Nik looked a little excited, "Sister Ruori, how long are we going to go this time?" Or did you just stay in London? ”

I rubbed his little head and smiled and asked, "Does Nik like London?" ”

"I like it."

"Well, let's stay there a little longer, and we'll talk about it later, okay?" I pampered.

"Okay—well, but ......" Nik suddenly frowned, not as happy as he had just been.

"What's wrong?"

"Sister Ruori, you said, we moved away, what if Brother Ian can't find us?" Nik was worried.

I chuckled, "Don't worry, Brother Ian is very smart, if you want to find it, you will definitely find us." ”

It is true that with my ability to discuss and learn, I have been able to find him after more than a year of hard hiding, and this kind of trivial matter will inevitably not be difficult for him.

After arriving in London in the afternoon and settling Nik in, I rushed to the headquarters of the Lam Group.

As soon as I stepped into the lobby on the first floor of the headquarters, a familiar figure was already waiting there.

"Second Miss, long time no see." Ye Ningchen, who was dressed in a decent suit, stood up with a warm smile.

"Ning Chen, why are you?" I was a little surprised that it was the most gratifying to meet someone from another country.

"I'm very happy to see the second lady come back safely." His graceful and capable appearance is as usual and unprovokedly kind.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you, I originally thought that you would stay in China to help my cousin."

He smiled lightly, "Perhaps, the chairman thinks it's more customary for me, so he asked me to come to Europe with her...... Second Miss, please come here. ”

Following his guidance into the elevator, I couldn't help but agree: "Indeed, you have been my grandmother's most powerful assistant for so many years, and of course she is reluctant to let you go." ”

"What's the matter, it's the chairman's cultivation." He smiled lightly, "By the way, Second Miss, the chairman wants me to cooperate with your work during this time, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with everything in the company as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help frowning, "I heard that the company has had some problems recently, right?" ”

"Yes, the company's performance has been very sluggish recently, and there have even been serious losses, and some shareholders of the group have begun to withdraw their shares...... Ye Ningchen said, taking me into the president's office.

There are already stacks of documents on the desk, mostly the company's financial statements, customer details, and so on.

"By the way, Miss Two, the president of Iris will come to us in two hours to sign a contract." Ye Ningchen reminded, "I put the detailed cooperation between Iris and our company at the top of this stack of documents, you can take a look at it first." ”

"Oh yes, I see."

As soon as I entered the company, I had to enter a tense state of work, and I couldn't be sloppy at all, so I calmed down and carefully studied the documents, while Ye Ningchen stood aside in order to explain my questions from time to time.

As the two hours passed in a hurry, the secretary reminded me that the president of Iris was already waiting in the conference room, so I dressed up a little and greeted my client as shrewdly and as shrewdly as possible.

Stepping into the conference room, the president of the other company stood up to greet him, but when he looked at each other, he was stunned.

"Ruori, how could it be you?" Standing in front of her was Sara, dressed in a black suit, with her chestnut hair in an elegant bun at the back of her head, looking very different from her usual appearance.

“Sara？” I couldn't believe it, I really didn't meet in life.

"Looks like we're really fated to be." Sara blinked a little mischievously, "However, isn't the chairman of the Lin Meng Group Ms. Huo Xi?" How do you ......?"

"She is my grandmother, but she has not been in good health recently, so I will temporarily act as the president of the group and take over her work." I explained with a smile that I had a good impression of Sara, who was spontaneous and lively.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she smiled, "I hope she recovers soon." ”

"Thank you. But Sara, why don't you work in Mr. Badel's group? "I was a little surprised.

"What's good with him?" Sara flattened her mouth, "Everything is still subject to his constraints and his jurisdiction, why don't I come out and start a company and be the boss by myself?" ”

I smiled knowingly and nodded.

"Well, let's sign the contract." Sara was doing things happily, and when she heard this, someone immediately handed her the prepared contract behind her, and I looked at it, it was actually Ivy.

"Ivy, I didn't think you were Sara's assistant." I greeted her with a smile.

"Yes, Miss Furcummings, hello."

In contrast to Sara's spontaneity, this Ivy was always introverted and even indifferent, and she nodded politely to me as she had done when we first met, and then retreated behind Sara.

It's just that the indifference in her eyes is inevitably a little heavier, indifferent to the point of alienation—especially when she looks at me, I don't know if it's an illusion.

In a trance, a scene flashed in my mind, which made me stunned.

Ivy in front of her miraculously coincided with a figure in her memory - she turned out to be the lady sitting in the passenger seat of the car when Sara suddenly visited that night.

"Ruori...... Ruori? Sara called out to me, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh, nothing." I smiled apologetically, "Let's move on." ”
