Chapter 207 Apprenticeship
When the shout fell, hurried footsteps came from behind Ningxia, Ningxia turned her head instinctively, and found that it was Cheng Shuo.

"I'll take you down." Cheng Shuo said to Ning Xia with a bright smile on his face.

Ningxia was really surprised. She didn't understand why Cheng Shuo left so many important people behind, but ran over to see her off, and said hurriedly, "I know you are busy, we can go by ourselves, it's not that children don't know the way, You go back quickly."

Cheng Shuo still said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm really rude, I'll let Xiao Li take you down." After speaking, he called his secretary and told her to send Ningxia away.Then he went back.

While waiting for the elevator, Ning Xia heard Cheng Shuo's reprimand from Cheng Shuo's office, thinking that he treated the old man slowly.It made Ningxia feel very sorry, and now he has a good impression of Cheng Shuo in his heart.

The elevator couldn't come, and Ning Xia didn't want to waste time on this floor, so she turned to the stairs and waited for the elevator on the next floor.

That Xiao Li stayed with her all the time. She must have misunderstood. Seeing that Cheng Shuo paid special attention to Ning Xia, she thought that Ning Xia was Cheng Shuo's girlfriend. Talking too much made Xiao Li extremely embarrassed.

Ning Xia glanced at Xiang Toon, then smiled and talked to Xiao Li to ease her embarrassment.There is a lot of pressure in the workplace, and she has also worked as a small employee in other companies, and she knows that this small employee is really not very easy to mess with.

Xiao Li saw that Ningxia was very good-tempered, so he continued to pretend that she was talking, and lowered his voice to introduce the Cheng family to Ningxia. What did the middle-aged man in the office say that Ningxia was the illegitimate son of Mr. Cheng? Marry a woman named Si Rou. That woman has a son who is born with a disease and cannot see the sun. She is obviously in her forties, but she looks like a big girl in her 20s.

At first Ning Xia listened with one ear to the other, until she heard the familiar name, she suddenly focused on it.

Sir Rou?Wasn't that the name she'd heard from Hood?It is said to be Hood's junior sister.In addition, why does the Si Rou portrayed by Xiao Li look so much like Mu Bai's mother?
Before, when she was seeing Nie Chen off, she happened to meet Mu Bai and his mother at the airport, and heard the security inspector at the airport address Mu Bai's mother as "Ms. Si".

Ningxia is not interested in anything else, the only thing she is interested in is that Mubai's mother, her grandfather, and father Ning Yuan have grievances, so she pays special attention to this woman.

It was hard to wait for the elevator, but Ningxia was not in a hurry to leave Lishang. Instead, she asked Xiao Li if there was a coffee shop in the building, and she wanted to buy her a cup of coffee.

It was rare for someone to please her, so Xiao Li looked like she wanted it, but soon she showed a regretful expression and said, "I'm still at work, I hope I can have time to sit with Miss Ning in the future."

Ningxia smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it easy to want time? Wait a minute." After she finished speaking, she immediately called Cheng Shuo, saying that she suddenly wanted to stay until noon and wait for him to treat him to dinner, so she will trouble him right now. Can the secretary accompany her around Lishang?

Cheng Shuo happily agreed, and asked Ningxia to hand over the phone to Xiao Li. I don't know what he said to Xiao Li, but Xiao Li looked very happy.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Li accompanied Ning Xia to the coffee shop downstairs, and the three of them sat down together. Ning Xia tried to get some useful information from Xiao Li, but in the end, he wasted all his efforts and didn't get any more useful information. It's all utterly boring gossip.

After listening to this for a long time, Xiang Toon had no patience, and was a little annoyed. He sneered and said to Xiao Li, "You are a new employee in the company, so you should pay attention to what you say in the company in the future. If you continue like this If you don’t keep it all, you don’t even know how you lost your job.”

Xiao Li understood that Xiang Toon thought she was too talkative, so she blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed, and lowered her head and said, "I know too, I talk a lot, but I just can't control my mouth."

Ningxia still thinks that Toon is making a big fuss. How other people live and survive is other people’s business. Seeing that Xiao Li is 25 or [-] years old, he has worked in this company for a year or two. He has such a big mouth, but it’s okay. To survive in this company, there must still be her workplace survival rules.

In addition, Ning Xia thought of another sentence, "What kind of leader, what kind of subordinate." Although that Cheng Shuo was not as big-mouthed as Xiao Li, he should still have a good temper, otherwise he would not Let there be such a heartless secretary by his side.

Thinking like this, Ning Xia naturally asked Xiao Li if Cheng Shuo had a good temper in the company?That Xiao Li immediately nodded affirmatively, confirmed Ning Xia's guess, and said a lot of good things about Cheng Shuo.

Xiang Toon was listening, the corners of her mouth almost turned into [-] yuan, and she disdained Xiao Li's descriptions very much.

What Ning Xia was most interested in was the woman named "Si Rou" that Xiao Li was talking about. After hearing nothing about that woman, she was unwilling to sit down.

As soon as Xiao Li heard that Ningxia was leaving, his face changed. The general manager clearly told her to stay with Ningxia and wait until he had time to come. If she couldn’t complete the task now, it would be strange for her to be happy, and hurriedly said, “Yes. Did I say something wrong? Didn’t I just wait for the general manager to come over? Why are you leaving again?”

Ning Xia smiled and said, "You are fine. I really thought of something to do. I will explain clearly to your general manager. He should be happy to have a good employee like you."

When Ning Xia said this, Xiao Li had no choice but to say goodbye to Ning Xia.

As soon as he left Lishang, Xiang Toon asked Ningxia, "What do you want to know about the Cheng family? Just ask me, I know a lot of things. If I don't know, I can also find someone to investigate, that Xiao Li said Those are not necessarily true."

Ning Xia ignored Xiang Toon's words and asked instead, "Do you know the name of the woman who kidnapped me on Yushi Street that time?"

Xiang Toon reacted suddenly, and said in surprise, "Ah, don't tell me, I really forgot about that woman. The Si Rou that Xiao Li mentioned could really be that woman. There are many people with the same name and surname in this world. It's strange, but there is a son who can't see the sun, and a woman who looks like a goblin, it is designated as the same person." Speaking of this, Xiang Toon immediately began to associate, his face changed drastically, and he said, "If you can't keep it, that Si Rou is the one who is affected. They kidnapped you at the instigation of the Cheng family, Li Shang of their Cheng family has always been our number one enemy."

Ning Xia frowned, feeling amused, this toon is really rich in imagination, and has the potential to be a writer. "It's not that exaggerated. It's not that you don't know how we met Si Rou, so don't think about it. It's two different things."

Xiang Toon shrugged his nose, thought for a while, and still felt that Ning Xia's words made sense, so he stopped guessing.

When the two arrived at the parking lot, they had just picked up the car and were about to leave when Cheng Shuo called and asked why Ning Xia had broken his promise again and agreed to let him treat him to dinner.

Ningxia smiled and replied, "I didn't say that you won't be allowed to treat guests at noon. It's a temporary matter right now, so go back and deal with it. After you have booked a place at noon, can you call me again?"

On the other side of the phone, Cheng Shuo chuckled, said good, and made a decision like this.

"I don't like that Cheng Shuo. I always feel that he is approaching you with ulterior motives." Xiang Toon was not happy to hear that Ning Xia still agreed to have dinner with Cheng Shuo.

Ning Xia didn't take it seriously. If Cheng Shuo had ulterior motives, she also had ulterior motives for getting close to him. If it was to use, it was mutual.Now she is interested in that woman named Si Rou, who made that woman have trouble with their family?I don't want to bring up the grievances between that woman and her grandfather and father, but since she already knows that the woman treats their family as an enemy, then she has to be on guard to some extent, especially since she has a history of being kidnapped by that woman. I have to mention more.Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

At noon, Ningxia waited for Cheng Shuo's invitation, and she really went to the appointment, and she didn't shirk any more. However, the person who went was not herself, and she brought toon and grasshopper with her.

Cheng Shuo was slightly disappointed when he saw that Ningxia had brought two other people with him, but it was only a momentary emotion, and soon he was chatting and laughing.Thanks to Ningxia for allowing the Cheng family to keep Lishang.

Ningxia smiled and said that Cheng Shuo was too polite, she earned a lot of money, and she didn't give it to him for nothing, so why be so polite.

Cheng Shuo chuckled, and then talked about other things, "My grandfather has already unwrapped that piece of jade himself in the morning, and in the afternoon, he will go to the knife to get the material and start carving. My grandfather is also a famous master in the jade carving field. I haven't shown my skills for years, I've always wanted to see it with my own eyes, but it's rare that he's going to come out of the mountain again, I don't know if Miss Ning is interested or not."

Not to mention, Ningxia is really interested in this.She has always been very regretful that she does not know the jade carving skills.When she was young, her grandfather taught her, but at that time, she was too lively and active, and she was not interested in such a boring learning art. Once, when learning to carve, she didn't concentrate on carving with a carving knife. Her hand was broken, and after that, her mother, Wang Jingyu, would not let her touch jade carvings, saying that their house is no longer a jade workshop, and those jade carvings are all workers, so it is not her turn My baby girl did it herself.

Now that Ningxia has entered the jade industry, he suddenly feels regretful. It would be good if he had learned a little bit from his grandfather, but unfortunately, it was too late.

When she watched Nie Chen process jadeite before, she really envied him to death. Seeing those beautiful jadeites slowly turning into exquisite jewelry under his skillful hands, she always felt that the sense of accomplishment should be the most precious. Wonderful.

Thinking of this, Ning Xia half-jokingly said to Cheng Shuo, "It would be a pity to just watch the old man sculpt. If the old man is willing to teach me all his crafts, it will be really touching and touching."

Cheng Shuo was taken aback, and asked with some doubts, "We all know that your grandfather is a famous master of jade carving, and his ranking is higher than mine. Why, didn't he teach you those crafts?"

Ning Xia smiled wryly and said, "It's not that he didn't teach, it's that I didn't want to learn when I was young, and now I want to learn, but unfortunately I have no chance."

Cheng Shuo nodded, with a slight look of regret on his face, he thought for a while before saying, "My grandfather has a very strange temper, and he refused to teach his apprentices very early, but our Cheng family descendants have already been taught by him, even if Not as skilled as his old man, but they still have two brushes, if you really want to learn jade carving, then why not ask me to be your teacher, I am the most skilled one my grandfather praised!" Said After Cheng Shuo finished, he laughed.

Hearing what Cheng Shuo said, Ning Xia immediately called the waiter and asked her to make a pot of high-quality Longjing tea, and then she raised the teacup and said to Cheng Shuo, "Then, I will pay homage to Master now!" Really want to pay homage to the teacher.

Cheng Shuo was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that Ning Xia would really want to worship him as his teacher. He was really frightened, and hurriedly said to Ning Xia, "Don't, I am not qualified to be your teacher."

Ning Xia frowned slightly, she really wanted to learn art with an open mind, so she was just talking casually.
