Chapter 186 In This Lifetime, I Actually Managed to Catch a Glimpse of President Mo!
“I didn’t want to accept this at all, you cant blame me, ah. I suspect my assistant must have found this watch too expensive and couldn’t bear to throw it away, so she stuffed it in my bag. I completely didn’t notice it on my way back;’ Ji Nuan explained helplessly. 0
Mo Jingshen looked at her for a moment and did not speak before he decisively tossed that pink watch into the trash bin.
Ji Nuan did not even look at the watch. She
felt that he could throw it as he pleased; it was what she had intended to do anyway. She did not plan on accepting anything from Sheng Yihan.
At this moment, Mo Jingshen received a call from the company and stepped into the study.
Ten minutes later.
The study door was opened once more. The man stepped out expressionlessly and began to flip through the bin for the watch. He held it and left the room.
“What are you doing?” Ji Nuan asked suspiciously.
When Ji Nuan followed him out, she saw
Auntie Chen carrying a cup of water up the stairs. Mo Jingshen saw this as well and casually raised his hand, tossing the watch into the cup.
The cup was still steaming with hot water. In that silent moment, it ceased to move and was frozen at nine in the evening. With the distance between them, the little boy and girl were unable to touch one another, and they never would be able to again.
Auntie Chen held the cup, startled. It had happened so quickly that she was unable to react.
As Ji Nuan’s body was weak to the cold, Auntie Chen would always boil a cup of hot water for her at this time, serving it to her
after it cooled down. She never missed a day.
But today…
Ji Nuan stood by the door, pursing her lips.
Breaking it once and for all, such a method was indeed very much like Mo Jingshen.
This sort of expensive watch could resist being soaked or smashed, but it was weak to boiling water.
“Mr. Mo…” Auntie Chen stared dumbstruck at the cup. This watch…?”
“Toss it.” Mo Jingshen’s tone was cold.
Auntie Chen nodded her head. Since the water couldn’t be drink anymore, she
carried the cup down the stairs quickly, planning to send a new cup up.
Before heading back into the room, Mo Jingshen glanced at Ji Nuan. “What are you looking at? Unwilling to part with it?”
Ji Nuan giggled. After all, she had to leave for T City soon. She couldn’t pick such a time to provoke him.
Of course I can! I’ve been wanting to toss it out since morning!” While speaking, she followed him into the room.
After closing the door, Mo Jingshen saw she appeared to have something to say. He glanced at her mildly. “Look at that flattering smile; are you so afraid that I wont let you go to T City?”
..” There was no need to always expose her like this.
Ji Nuan pursed her lips: “The classes are starting soon…”
“Since you’ve already planned to go, set your mind at ease and go study. Someone else will help to arrange the other things.” Mo Jingshen’s tone remained unkind; he was clearly giving into her for her so-called big goals, but Sheng Yihan’s apparent and brave provocation kept his tone from turning warm.
“Really? Then I’ll have to rush to delegate all the projects in the studio. Several of my assistants and subordinates have gone to Xia Tian’s place tonight. I was planning to
have a video conference with them. I’ll take the opportunity to give them some clear instructions: Seeing that Mo Jingshen’s expression remained unhappy, Ji Nuan took the initiative and hugged his arm.
Mo Jingshen coldly glanced at her. After checking that she did not reveal any inappropriate emotions after Sheng Yihan’s provocation, he said mildly, The computer is still turned on. Go:
Ji Nuan checked the clock and saw that it was nearing their agreed meeting time. Seeing that Mo Jingshen planned to let her off and did not further pursue the matter, she wrapped her arms around his neck with a smile, pulling him down to press a kiss on the corner of his lips.
After kissing him, she was afraid that he would toss her on the bed and quickly slithered out of his embrace, running into the study.
Ji Nuan sat in front of the computer, having a video conference with Xia Tian and the rest.
Based on the timetable given, she had to leave for T City the day after. Although three months of schooling would pass by in a blink of an eye, the studio was still in its developmental stages. The studio had her blood, sweat, and tears in it, and she needed to give them detailed instructions to set her mind at ease.
As Mo Jingshen often needed to have video conferences with his overseas partners, the computer in his study had an extremely high-definition camera. From Xia Tian’s side of the screen, it appeared as though Ji Nuan was sitting right across from them.
During the conference, Xia Tian held the project files Xiao Ba had handed to her and said, “Don’t worry, in these three months, I’ll definitely help to stabilize your sales position in Hai City’s property industry. I’ve seen the land and properties you’ve purchased, as well as the projects that are under development. Your foresight is indeed good. You’ve already gathered the important cornerstones, there’s no need for me to work too hard. I’ll just have to .Read more chapter on NovelFull
guard what we already have, and it’ll be sufficient. Have confidence in us:
Ji Nuan held her chin, looking at them. Of course I have confidence. Hai City’s geographical location is also blessed by the heavens. Fm not in a rush to sell out. Right now, the most important thing is to take care of the studio’s personnel. Watch the people who are coming in carefully. There isn’t a need to hire too many people, but make sure we are making full use of all of them:
Afterward, they had a simple discussion about expanding the studio space. Several colleagues in Xia Tian’s home also pointed out several operational problems that were often neglected. Ji Nuan spoke seriously
with them, exchanging thoughts on how to increase the rates at which their immovable properties and resources were being converted into liquid funds, while at the same time preventing any loss.
After a lengthy discussion, Xia Tian suddenly appeared flabbergasted on the screen. Xiao Ba also stared at Ji Nuan in shock.
Ji Nuan glanced at them in confusion, subconsciously turning back only to discover that at some point, Mo Jingshen had stepped into the room.
The man was holding the glass of water Auntie Chen had sent in earlier. Right now, the water temperature was suitable for her
to drink. As he stood there, the glass in his hand reflected the warm light in the study. It seemed like he did not intend to interrupt her conference.
However, those across the screen were already looking straight…
Xiao Ba suddenly exclaimed, “In this lifetime, I actually managed to catch a glimpse of President Mo!” 0
Ji Nuan: “…”
Chapter 187 He Always Stood on the Gold Pagoda; Capable of Seeing Every Big Picture
The man who drew everyone’s eyes even as he stood in the most beautiful scenery was the living, breathing Mo Jingshen.
They had only ever heard of him and never seen him. Ji Nuan typically maintained a low profile and would never intentionally bring Mo Jingshen to the studio.
At that moment, those on the other side of the screen were all taking in the sight of him with greedy eyes.
Mo Jingshen’s appeared indifferent and
calm. He approached, placing the glass by Ji Nuan’s hand. He then shifted his gaze onto the displayed proposal file on her computer.
You came at a good time. Help me take a look. These few areas…” Ji Nuan pointed at the screen. “These are the areas we are considering to develop. Back when the studio was still two separate companies, they were never able to produce many results. Because of this, most of the companies are cooperating with us because of Mo Corporation’s face. Aside from the BGY Group from several days ago, most of them are still in the viewing process, so the interest and enthusiasm for these development projects are currently
not very optimistic:
Ji Nuan then turned to look at Mo Jingshen. “I understand the prospects for the property market isn’t very good right now. With our past results in mind, if it were not for your interference, we would be akin to a group of out of control children running with no supervision. With our situation in mind, invisible obstacles are not something we can run away from:
Xia Tian, who was on the other side of the screen, could no longer hold it in. She abruptly exclaimed, “President Mo! The one who wants to make it through every obstacle with her own power is not me, but Ji Nuan, oh! She insists on holding onto her face and suffering. There are so many
things she refuses to let you help with. You see, right now, we only need you to draw a few circles and help us to select a few projects. She cant even clearly state out such a simple request!”
Xia Tian tapped on her desk, mindless of Ji Nuan’s glare as she continued. You have to know, for the next few months, Ill be in charge of the studio. My leg is still crippled. Great President Mo, please, be merciful and offer us some advice so that we can take fewer turns and worry a little less! It’ll help Ji Nuan be more assured as well! Surely, you don’t wish for her to be worrying about these issues on this side even as she is tackling her studies, do you?”
Mo Jingshen did not glance at those people
on the computer screen. He only calmly scanned the embarrassed woman sipping her glass of water.
He spoke up, his indifferent tone carrying a few hints of gentle indulgence. “Summarize what you’ve previously discussed for me:
Before Ji Nuan could even put her cup down, Xiao Ba diligently began to summarize the documents in her hands. As she had already explained it once, her summary was exceptionally clear and well-ordered. Perhaps because the other party was Mo Jingshen, she did not dare to say even a single line of nonsense; every sentence was simple and straightforward.
After finishing, Xiao Ba raised her eyes,
speaking carefully and admiringly. “President Mo, do you need me to show you the details on our project planning map again?”
“You’ve worked hard; there’s no need;’ Mo Jingshen calmly replied, his gaze already focused on the project file displayed on Ji Nuan’s screen. He placed his hand on top of Ji Nuan’s, holding her hand to shift the mouse she was gripping. He flipped through the pages and saw the project planning map.
After a moment, Mo Jingshen lowered his gaze to look at Ji Nuan’s face illuminated by the screen. When he saw her especially focused brows and eyes, he softly chuckled. His tone was indifferent but contained
hints of unspeakable doting, “Go to the third page and circle out the fifth project. In the next month, focus on his one:
Ji Nuan flipped the file back to the page he had mentioned, calmly scanning through it. “Indeed. I bought this land a month ago. Right now, Hai City’s tourism board has already made plans to develop the surrounding area for touristic purposes. I originally intended to suppress it for a while longer, but the people from the tourism board have already begun to interfere with land prices here. This place will soon be controlled as well. Since it can no longer be suppressed, we should stop while were ahead:
Mo Jingshen helped her to highlight
several key points while indicating the areas he predicted would face a soar in prices. His intention was clear, and he also provided her with a hint.
Are you giving me a month because you know of someone from the tourism board and are aware of the regulation plan they’ll be releasing?” Ji Nuan asked.
Mo Jingshen replied, “Yes:
With just one word, he played down his actions, while at the same time, indicated that it was natural for him to do so.
It was simple; although Ji Nuan had the advantage of ten years of knowledge, she still could not take care of every single detail
On the other hand, Mo Jingshen’s status and position were different. In this massive Hai City, he had the necessary connections in both the business and government world. He was able to obtain the most firsthand and accurate plans before anyone could, which was a hundred times more impressive than the foresight she had.
Such a man was truly fearsome. Even if he were thrown back into the powerful flow of history, he would be able to stay in control of everything.
He always stood on the gold pagoda; capable of seeing every big picture.
Mo Jingshen indicated the points to focus on, offering her a concise yet
comprehensive analysis. Ji Nuan listened attentively.
Only their voices could be heard in the study. The web camera remained open, and Xia Tian, Xiao Ba, and several others on the other side of the screen could be described as as quiet as a mouse.
Wasn’t Mo Jingshen, as the legends said, constantly above-all, cold, and distant?
The great President Mo they saw right now, since his appearance in the study, did not shift his focus onto anyone else. The only one he saw was Ji Nuan. His gaze vaguely yet clearly containing his warmth and patience for her. Whenever Ji Nuan’s ideas unintentionally coincided with his,
his eyes would even curve slightly.
How was this the cold and distant President Mo? 0
This was clearly a considerate and protective man of the highest quality, akin to a rare treasure in this world.
Yet, it was clear that such treatment would only be granted to Ji Nuan alone. Aside from her, no one else was taken into consideration.
Finally, when Mo Jingshen finished his analysis, Ji Nuan sat in front of the computer and began to rearrange the document he had indicated on. Mo Jingshen gently rubbed her head and quietly turned to leave.
“I’M so envious…”
Such happiness…”
“What do I do, I want to fall in love…” This is basically a royal-grade of PDA…”
As the door was closed, voices finally began to rise and fall from the computer.
Even Xia Tian could not resist making spitting sounds. You sure are capable, little Ji Nuan! You’re really no longer as you used to be. The PDA of a century is shoved even into my eyes:
Ji Nuan seriously typed on her computer while speaking, “You’ve all heard the points he brought up earlier, didn’t you? Fm reducing the file on my side. After I send it
to you, well continue our discussion:
Seeing she did not plan to deviate from the main topic, the several upset women could only force themselves to forget the torturous internal injury they had received earlier, focusing their attention on the meeting.
