give me years of peace

Chapter 171 Development Conference

"Well, I just woke up..."

Liu Wanwan could hear the exhaustion in Du Anran's voice, and said apologetically, "Sister Anran, I'm sorry, I brought wine yesterday on a whim, I didn't know you would be drunk."

"It's nothing to do with you. I'm not good at drinking."

"I'm so relieved when you say that!" Liu Wanwan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "When that beast came to pick you up yesterday, its eyes almost ate me up! He seems to love you very much..."

Liu Wanwan smiled strangely, and Du Anran also smiled: "He treats everyone like that."

She suddenly thought of Mi Li who was sitting in his car yesterday. The two were talking and laughing, and they seemed quite harmonious.

"It's the same to everyone, Sister An Ran, don't give up on yourself!" Liu Wanwan saw that something was wrong, "You won't be stimulated, will you?"

How can she be stimulated...

Du Anran smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just pretend that I envy you and Sun Ping. I'm envious and jealous!"

"Sister An Ran, I envy you. Although that beast has a bad temper, it is really eye-catching, isn't it handsome? He is still a diamond king. You are not at a disadvantage, and I don't know how many women are looking forward to it!"

"Really..." Du Anran lowered his voice.

Yes, he has always been excellent.Because of this, she suddenly felt inferior.She can't compare to any woman around him. She is not as cute as Chi Xue, not as beautiful as Mi Li, and not as capable as Xiao Qingqing... She has neither background nor background, so why should she stand by his side.

Seeing her depressed mood, Liu Wanwan couldn't help comforting her a few more words, and finally invited her out for dinner at night, but Du Anran shirked it.

Du Anran didn't have to go to work today, and Du Anran thought Xin Zimo would be free, but he didn't see him call her at the end of the day.When I was bored, I had to turn on the TV, but I didn't expect to see him in the live broadcast of the TV station in City A when I turned on the TV.

It turned out to be Xin's press conference, announcing the cooperation with the media.

To Du Anran's surprise, the one standing next to him was not the popular movie star Mi Li, but a newcomer who was inferior to Mi Li in terms of popularity and other aspects.Didn't they talk about cooperation last night?The talk broke down?

Du Anran felt that as long as it was something Xin Zimo wanted to talk about, the meeting would not collapse.

I guess I don't want to cooperate with Mi Li...

She continued to watch intently. Xin Zimo stood in front of the announcement stage with a solemn expression, a serious expression, a strong aura and a calm demeanor.He was still wearing a black suit, and his voice was deep and powerful.

I haven't seen Xin Zimo in the past seven or eight days, but when I saw him now, Du Anran's heart skipped a beat.

This man, without the shamelessness and arrogance he had when he was with her, now looks nothing like her Xin Zimo.

Listening to his voice at the press conference, she felt a sense of trance. Is he Xin Zimo?

While she was staring at the people on the video, the press conference was over.The next thing was to answer questions from reporters. The scene was a bit chaotic, and Xin Zimo obviously didn't want to stay any longer, leaving only Sun Ping and the company's vice presidents at the scene.

"Xin's suspension of cooperation with Ms. Mi Li this time, will it bring losses to Xin?" a reporter asked.

Sun Ping looked calm: "It has always been Xin's style to support newcomers. This time, we will cooperate with Phantom Group. I believe there will be greater success."

Seeing Xin Zimo leave, Du Anran also turned off the TV.Most of Xin's employees went to the press conference, but it's a pity that no one informed her to go.

She was originally a rice bug who did nothing in Xin's business, and it was not her turn to participate in Xin's affairs.

But it was a coincidence, just as Du Anran was going out to go home, he ran into an uninvited guest on the road.

In the red Audi convertible, when the woman wearing sunglasses drove the car to Du Anran's side, she slowed down and blocked Du Anran's way.

Although the people in the car were wearing sunglasses, Du Anran recognized them immediately. No one recognizes Mi Li, a popular movie star in City A.When he was born and flourishing, he once invited Mi Li to a reception, but that was a long time ago.

Du Anran and Mi Li hardly had any intersection.

"You are Du Anran?" Mi Li took off her sunglasses and looked straight at Du Anran.

"I am." Du Anran said.

"It looks dignified, but it's not beautiful enough, not charming enough." Mi Li sized up Du Anran and said tut-tsk.

"In terms of beauty, of course there is no one in City A that can compare to Miss Mi Li." Du Anran laughed.

"You're pretty good at talking." Mi Li is usually busy with things, but she can't remember that Du Anran is actually the daughter of the previous life, "I saw you in the newspaper, the London reception."

"It's a great honor to be paid attention to by Miss Mi Li." Du Anran knew that it was the last thank-you reception in London, and he was in London at the time, so he didn't know if the domestic public opinion had already been flying all over the sky.

"I'm not following you, I'm following Xin Zimo." Mi Li smiled and said bluntly, "Xin's press conference today is really grand, but it's a pity that I didn't attend."

"There are so many opportunities, Miss Mi Li is very popular in City A, and the Xin family will definitely continue to cooperate with Miss Mi Li." Du Anran also couldn't offend Mi Li, she just said perfunctorily.

"Is this how you usually talk to Xin Zimo?" Mi Li thinks that Du Anran is really an unreasonable and dull woman, and this kind of woman will also be attracted by Xin Zimo?
Du Anran just wanted to leave early, so she said, "I don't have many opportunities to communicate with Mr. Xin."

Mi Li laughed loudly: "Don't lie to me, there are not many opportunities to communicate, can he give you this ring?"

Mi Li stared at the diamond ring on her hand, Du Anran folded her hands to cover the ring.Ordinary people can't see the value of this ring, but Mili is used to being in the upper class circle, so how can she not know the value of this "angel heart"?

"Miss Millie, nice to meet you, but I still have something to do, so let's go first."

"Where are you going? Shall I see you off?"

"No, thank you, I'll take a taxi there." Du Anran smiled.

Just in a while, the taxi came, and Du Anran finally breathed a sigh of relief.She doesn't know how to deal with this kind of woman, and she's afraid that if she offends Mi Li, she won't be able to afford it.

Today's news was playing on the radio in the taxi, Du Anran heard Xin's name again, even the driver couldn't help but said: "Xin's has a lot of news recently."

After a while, the radio news switched again, and it was the hijacking incident a few days ago.

Du Anran sounded serious. According to the news, the perpetrators of the hijacking had been captured. They were a group of foreign terrorists, and the case was pending review.

Du Anran didn't quite believe it, foreign terrorists?
"Hijacking sounds really scary." The driver said, "Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the plane landed safely."

"Why...why did they hijack the plane?" Du Anran asked.

"Terrorists, they don't follow the rules of what they want to do."

"Oh..." Du Anran didn't believe it at all, it was clearly organized and premeditated.

But even such an important matter, Xin Zimo never revealed a thing or two to her.To and from London, he changed the ticket, but he just didn't tell her why.

Also, the Xin family seems to be thriving. It is estimated that the news of the failed acquisitions of several banks may not have spread yet.

Du Anran didn't dare to think that he used his life to protect the confidential financial information, but he made a mistake in the end. If it was really because of the leak of the meeting, then she was the culprit.

Two months ago, she was a **** looking forward to the early bankruptcy of Xin's every night, and Xin Zimo followed suit.But two months later, if everything went as she wished, why didn't she expect the thrill of revenge?
When the taxi stopped in front of the house, Du Anran got out of the car and saw the dazzling Bentley at the door.

It's Xie Chenjin again...

"Miss Du, we meet again."

"But I don't want to see you." Du Anran said angrily.

In the past, Du Anran felt that dealing with women was a terrible thing, but later she discovered that scheming men are more terrifying than women.Xie Chenjin belongs to this category.

"The Xie family will hold a press conference in three days, and I would like to invite you to attend." Xie Chenjin took out a red invitation card and put it in Du Anran's hand.

The invitation card also smelled of flowers and the faint scent of perfume on Xie Chenjin's clothes. No matter how many people dream of getting an official invitation card from Xie's Bank, it must be!

But Du Anran couldn't answer, she refused: "I don't have time."

Just after Xin's press conference, Xie followed closely. She didn't know what Xie Chenjin was up to.

"It's just one day. I don't believe you don't have time." Xie Chenjin stared at her, clearly seeing dodge in her eyes.

"I really don't have time, so don't look for me again!" Du Anran left Xie Chenjin's side without looking back.

"Do you know that it's a very bad habit to say nothing?"

Xie Chenjin pulled Du Anran from behind. Du Anran was wearing high heels and couldn't stand firmly. Just when she almost fell, Xie Chenjin wrapped her arms around her waist.

Du Anran was caught off guard and fell into Xie Chenjin's arms. As soon as she touched him, she broke free reflexively, but this man was as domineering as Xin Zimo, and he didn't allow her to resist.

"Xie Chenjin, let me go!" Du Anran tried his best to keep a distance from him.

She could no longer see the elegance in him that treated everyone equally, and his demeanor seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

He narrowed his eyes, and there was no trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth.He put the invitation in her hand: "Come if you don't want to!"

"Xie Chenjin, are you crazy?" She called out his name, and she couldn't afford to mess with this man either.

"I think I'm crazy." A trace of bitterness spread from the corner of Xie Chenjin's mouth.

"Xie Chenjin, I won't go!" Du Anran could still carry it clearly. If she went, it would be like giving Xin Zimo a slap in the face.What will the media think, what will everyone think, what will he think...

"You really love him." Xie Chenjin let go of his hand, and Du Anran staggered back a few steps, leaning against the tree trunk behind him.

Xie Chenjin pursed his lips and glanced at her, but didn't force her anymore.Without saying a word, he went straight to the driver's seat and drove off.

Du Anran looked at the invitation in her hand, the red background hurt her eyes, the contract between her and Xie Chenjin was undoubtedly a ticking time bomb.If one day Xie Chenjin no longer kept his promise and stopped being a gentleman, she would have nowhere to go.

Perhaps, she has another choice, which is to continue to cooperate with Xie Chenjin, watch the Xin family fall, and leave the country by herself.

But, as Xie Chenjin said just now, she loves Xin Zimo...
