Chapter 216 Who is the person behind this?
Ning Xi felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, so she reminded her: "It fits well, thank you."
Hearing this, He Zhao quickly put away his idiotic behavior.
"As long as it suits you, shall we go there now?"
Thinking that it was almost time, Ning Xi nodded in agreement.
He Zhao acted as the guide, and Assistant Zhou, Secretary Zhang, and Wang Sen followed closely. Coupled with Ning Xi's outstanding beauty and deportment, her appearance was naturally stunning.
People looked at her with curiosity and surprise, but Ning Xi was calm and calm about this.
However, He Zhao beside her suddenly became nervous, feeling like he had countless more love rivals, and at the same time he felt vaguely proud.
He hurriedly took two steps back, guarding Ning Xi behind him like a bodyguard, and vigilantly scanned everyone in front of him who tried to approach her.
Even the waiter who delivered the champagne was on his radar. Ning Xi understood his good intentions, but she felt a bit dumbfounded.
"He Zhao! You don't have to be like this, we are here to entertain."
Ning Xi took the tall crystal cup from the waiter's tray and took a sip while quietly reminding her.
"Well, I'm just afraid that those people will be rude -"
He Zhao scratched the back of his head awkwardly and laughed stupidly.
Ning Xi knew that He Zhao had this kind of character and didn't want to let him down. She just smiled and shook her head.
He also changed into a formal suit. The elegantly tailored suit set off his elegant demeanor and attracted a lot of people's attention. Many people even came over to chat with him and toast him.
Taking this opportunity, Ning Xi got rid of the entanglement of the crowd and came to a relatively secluded corner.
Wang Sen quickly approached Ning Xi and lowered his voice: "Mr. Ning, the businessmen over there are all big local businesses and have business dealings with our Wen family."
Ning Xi nodded, her eyes flashed, and she unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure among the group of business people.
That man was gentle and elegant, with a good temperament. He was clearly Ning Zhiyuan.
If he wasn't discussing cooperation with Gu Huaijing, why would he be here?
Before Ning Xi could say anything, Ning Zhiyuan also saw her, and a look of surprise and surprise flashed across his face.
"Xiao Xi!" Before she could react, Ning Zhiyuan had already strode forward.
Ning Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with relief and joy when he saw his baby daughter's beauty and radiance.
"I'm so happy to see you here!"
As he spoke, he wanted to grab Ning Xi's arm affectionately, but his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
Seeing Ning Zhiyuan's hesitation, Ning Xi's heart moved and she took the initiative to hold the man's slightly trembling hand.
"Professor Ning, are you feeling well?"
"I'm fine, thank you Miss Ning for your concern. Are you here on business?"
Hearing Ning Xi's address, Ning Zhiyuan's face darkened slightly for a moment, but he still managed to smile.
Ning Xi hummed softly. Facing Ning Zhiyuan, she was also very conflicted.
Neither his uncle Wen Mochen nor his grandmother or mother clearly had a good impression of Ning Zhiyuan. Ning Zhiyuan himself just said that the affair was a misunderstanding and that he was sorry for himself and his mother, but the reason was still a mess.
Ning Zhiyuan had an unclear connection with the mastermind behind the scenes, so Ning Xi had to keep a distance from him.
However, through these few close encounters, Ning Xi had a vague feeling that Ning Zhiyuan was gentle and modest, and treated her like a loving father.
If he is harboring evil intentions...
Ning Xi subconsciously pushed this thought away from her mind, with a decent smile still on her face.
"Are your...mother and grandma okay?" Ning Zhiyuan paused for a moment and asked.
"They are both very nice. My aunt and uncle had to take wedding photos together, so they asked me to come over and take charge of the project."
Thinking of her uncle and aunt loving each other, Ning Xi couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
Ning Zhiyuan showed a hint of envy and said, "Mo Chen can be considered a lover and finally gets married. Your mother and I don't know when we will be able to let go of the past..."
For the first time, Ning Xi couldn't help but feel curious when she heard Ning Zhiyuan take the initiative to mention the emotional issues with his mother.
She couldn't help holding her breath, waiting for the other party's explanation, but Ning Zhiyuan paused, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.
The air was silent, and the noise around them stood out.
He Zhao, who had just heard the sound and came over, felt that the atmosphere between the two was delicate, and couldn't help but cough lightly, which relieved the atmosphere.
Ning Zhiyuan was no stranger to He Zhao and smiled and nodded to him.
He Zhao also greeted politely: "Uncle Ning, Xiao Xi and I still have something to discuss. Look -"
Ning Zhiyuan also understood that Ning Xi's attendance at the reception was not just to see him, but had an ulterior motive.
Although he was a little reluctant to leave, Ning Zhiyuan still took a step back: "Then I won't delay you young people. Say hello to your mother and grandmother for me."
He Zhao looked at Ning Zhiyuan's back in surprise, and couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "Xiao Xi, are Uncle Ning and Aunt Ning very familiar with each other? Why does he look at you as if he is his own daughter?"
Ning Xi paused. She didn't want to expose her relationship with Ning Zhiyuan for the time being. After all, it involved too much.
"Maybe Professor Ning thought of his relatives when he saw me!" Ning Xi said lightly, but couldn't help but glance at Ning Zhiyuan quietly.
I saw him standing with a group of businessmen. His aura that stood out from the crowd stood out, but he also seemed out of place, which made people more and more curious.
While the two were talking, Wang Sen had already walked over with two middle-aged men.
"This is Mr. Fang and Mr. Li from Yuanhua Group. They are our main partners in this resort project."
The two middle-aged men looked like shrewd and capable businessmen, and their every move was polite.
"Miss Ning is really young and promising. We can successfully complete the project this time only because of Miss Ning's supervision."
Mr. Li is a sophisticated person who has been around shopping malls for many years. He can tell at a glance that Ning Xi has an extraordinary background and treats her with respect.
"Mr. Li is so polite. I'm new here too. I want all my uncles and uncles to cooperate sincerely."
Ning Xi was smiling, but her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Mr. Li and Mr. Fang looked at each other and responded in unison: "Of course!"
Ning Xi smiled slightly: "I wish our cooperation this time a smooth success, I'd like to do it first!"
As she spoke, she took the initiative to raise her wine glass. Mr. Li and Mr. Fang did not dare to neglect and hurriedly raised their wine glasses.
On the side, He Zhao was stunned by Ning Xi's calmness and ability. He thought to himself that Xiao Xi was really powerful. No wonder Wen Mochen valued her so much and allowed her to handle big business with full authority.
Then I thought that apart from motorcycle racing, I had nothing to show for myself in the business world, and my heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that this was the reason why Xiao Xi looked down on him and refused to get along with him?
He Zhao's face became a little embarrassed as he thought about it. At this moment, a fat figure walked through the crowd and walked forward.
"Miss Ning, what a coincidence, we meet again! Come on! Let me toast you."
The oily man with a fat face, squinting and swollen eyelids, and the red and swollen marks on his face are still there - it is Mr. Zhao.
"Zhao! This is a public place, what do you want to do?"
He Zhao took a step forward, blocked Ning Xi from behind, and glared at Mr. Zhao!
