Chapter 391 Uncover Identity
In fact, Qin Haozheng wanted to help Gu Ning in the beginning, but he wasn't sure whether he should tell them the truth about Gu Ning. Even though he believed Gu Ning, others might not without proof.
Hearing that, people who didn't know about it were all shocked. A highly valuable antique that was worth at least five million yuan? This young girl is that rich? Everyone had the same questions in mind.
"I met Girl Gu once at the antique street, and she picked up an antique plate which is worth 1.5 million yuan. She can't be poor!" Gu Changjiang opened his mouth too. He had the same thought as Qin Haozheng, and they were both willing to support Gu Ning.
Everyone was quite surprised looking at Gu Ning.
Although Qin Haozheng and Gu Changjiang stood with Gu Ning, some still didn't believe that Gu Ning was willing to send a birthday gift which cost hundreds of thousand yuan to a young girl.
Before Mrs. Hao could join the argument, Gu Ning opened her mouth first.
"It seems like I have to tell you the reason why I'm so rich," Gu Ning teased. She stared straight into Jin Kexin's eyes and said with seriousness, "Jin Kexin, you want to know my family background? I'm telling you now. Jade Beauty Jewelry is my brand."
"What?" Hearing that, Jin Kexin panicked and couldn't believe her ears. "It's impossible."
Jin Kexin refused to believe that Jade Beauty Jewelry was owned by Gu Ning.
Su Anya and the other guests were also surprised.
"What brand?" someone who didn't hear asked with curiosity.
"Gu Ning, do you mean that you're the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry?" Su Anya asked with uncertainty because it was so shocking.
"What? The real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry?" Hearing that, they were all amazed.
"Yes," Gu Ning replied.
People around her couldn't help but draw a long breath in astonishment. Jade Beauty Jewelry wasn't a large store, but its jewelry was all made of high-quality jade, so it was worth at least a billion yuan. It was too shocking to convince people.
"Really? She's so young, so how is it possible that she's the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry! The value of Jade Beauty Jewelry's assets is at least a billion yuan!"
"Who knows! However, I don't believe it."
"Me neither.'
Hearing their doubts, An Guangyao stood out and smiled at Gu Ning. "Chairman Gu, I guess that you can't hide your real identity anymore." It was apparent that he already knew that Gu Ning was the chairman of Jade Beauty Jewelry from his tone, and they seemed very close.
Once An Guangyao appeared, people started to believe that Gu Ning was the chairman of Jade Beauty Jewelry. An Guangyao was a respected businessman, and people trusted him.
"What? She is really the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry?"
"It's so unbelievable!"
Everyone was in shock. To their amazement, the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry was an 18-year-old girl!
"Ha-ha, well, I told Chairman An to keep it a secret. Unexpectedly, something unpleasant happened. I think it's not wise to keep it a secret any longer. Otherwise, my reputation could be ruined," Gu Ning said resignedly.
Hearing that, people all looked at Jin Kexin with disdain, because she was the source of the gossip.
"No-no, it's impossible!" Jin Kexin still refused to face reality.
"Wow, Miss Gu, you're the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry! You're indeed a promising young girl!" Yuan Jisong exclaimed.
"Exactly! It's so shocking!" Su Zhenhao said.
"Jesus! Gu Ning, you're so awesome!" Su Anya, of course, believed Gu Ning and she was more than shocked now.
"Gu Ning, you've hidden it for so long!" An Qian rounded her eyes in shock.

"No wonder your mother was willing to use jade pendants from Jade Beauty Jewelry as the prizes for the annual event in her beauty salon!" Mrs. Hao said with surprise.
Hearing the word, beauty salon, they understood that Gu Ning's family also had a beauty salon. However, it wasn't shocking now that they already found out that Gu Ning was the chairman of Jade Beauty Jewelry. No matter how big the beauty salon was, it couldn't compare with a jewelry store.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have used such expensive jewelry as the prize in a small business event!" Gu Ning said.
Afterward, people around Gu Ning all went forward to shake hands with her.
Jade Beauty Jewelry was a newly-built brand, but it was already so popular within a short time, which proved Gu Ning's outstanding business ability. Besides, they admired the fact that the brand founder was only 18-years-old even more. This young girl would be very successful in the future!
People were already really impressed after hearing that Gu Ning owned a jewelry store. If they found out that there were many other profitable companies under Gu Ning's name, they would be even more shocked.
Although the value of Gu Ning's companies' assets was merely billions of yuan at the moment, she was actually in possession of a lot more wealth than that, because she had many uncut jade raw materials which were worth a fortune too.
Even so, Jade Beauty Jewelry was rich enough to be ranked sixth on the list of the richest in City F. However, Jade Beauty Jewelry was located in City G, so it couldn't be ranked on the list of the richest of City F. Anyway, people still respected Gu Ning.
However, Gu Ning didn't care about that at all. Her aim was the capital. She was going to build her business empire as well as take revenge there.
Since Gu Ning's real identity was exposed, many rich ladies asked her whether she would open a branch in City F so that they didn't need to fly all the way to City G. Gu Ning would of course do that, but not right now, because she was occupied with her business in the capital. Nevertheless, she was going to settle a branch in City F this year.
Chapter 392 Su Anya Is in Danger
Seeing Gu Ning being so at ease when she was socializing with other successful businessmen, people were all impressed. She didn't seem like a teenager at all from her mature manner.
Gu Ning's friends were so proud of her and looked to Jin Kexin with obvious dislike. Chu Peihan even said acidly, "So? How do you feel now? Don't ever think that you can deceive us, and you're hardly comparable to our boss. If it hadn't been for my boss, I would have already beaten you down on the floor."
After that, they ignored Jin Kexin, and other guests also stayed away from her. Jin Kexin felt so embarrassed and just wanted to hide.
Su Zhenhao especially was dissatisfied at Jin Kexin, but it wasn't a good time to criticize her.
Jin Jingwei was also quite embarrassed. He gave Jin Kexin a sharp look and almost wanted to slap her. "Why are you still here? Don't you think that it's humiliating enough? Get back to your room now!"
Jin Kexin didn't think that it was her fault and felt aggrieved. She was so mad at Gu Ning and her friends but didn't dare to utter a word. Therefore, she quietly went back to her room.
The party went on, but Gu Ning replaced Su Anya and became the focus. Su Anya didn't mind, neither did her family.
"I always have the feeling that our boss is even more awesome than we think," Hao Ran said seriously.
"Me too. Although it's so unbelievable, I also have the same feeling,' Qin Zixun said.
"Why don't we ask her?" Chu Peihan proposed.
"We can. However, if boss isn't willing to tell us, we can't force her, because she must be doing it for a reason," Mu Ke said.
Everyone agreed. Although they were curious, they wouldn't force Gu Ning to tell them everything.
Gu Ning wasn't left alone until she had socialized with different socialites for a long time. Hao Ran and the others immediately came to her and asked, "Boss, do you have more companies than just Jade Beauty Jewelry?"
"Yes, but I can't tell you right now. You'll know about it when it's right the time," Gu Ning replied.
Since Gu Ning wasn't willing to tell them now, they didn't ask further, but they were all surprised that Gu Ning owned so many companies.
"Oh, Anya, don't you have an older brother? Why haven't we seen him yet?" Hao Ran suddenly asked.
At the mention of her older brother, Su Anya seemed a little displeased and complained. "He left in a hurry a few days ago. He is majoring in finance but is an archeology addict. If it hadn't been for my father, he would have majored in archeology! However, he still chose archeology as his elective course, and he spends most of his free time with his friends who major in archeology. His tutor called him saying they found an ancient grave somewhere, so he went to meet them without delay."
"Archeology? Where?" Gu Ning was interested.
Su Anya thought for a while, and said, "I think it's a small village in City B, but they haven't found the exact location yet. Some people picked antiques out of the river, so they believe that there is an ancient grave. Those antiques might have been left by gravediggers."
Gu Ning suddenly had an idea in her mind. She decided to visit the village in City B. She now had an antique store, so she naturally needed more antiques. However, before she left for City B, Gu Ning had to go to City G first. The Spring Festival was almost over, and the government would open tomorrow, so she needed to settle the Hongyun Group's properties beforehand.
When it was about 8 pm, guests started to leave, but Gu Ning stayed. When the party came to an end, all the other guests began to leave, but Gu Ning still stayed, because she was worried about Su Zhenhao who was affected by Yin and because of her premonition. Although everything looked fine now, she didn't feel relaxed.
"Oh, please wait here. I have something to give you," Su Anya said and turned to run upstairs.
Su Anya had prepared gifts for Gu Ning and her other friends. The gifts weren't expensive but stood for her kindness.
Seeing Su Anya going upstairs, Jin Jingwei panicked. He took out his phone calling Jin Kexin at once.
When Su Anya got to the second floor, she noticed that the door of her father's study was open. She thought that it was strange and walked over because the door was closed when she had walked downstairs earlier.
Jin Kexin's phone was vibrating when Su Anya got to the door. She caught Jin Kexin taking out a document from a drawer in Su Zhenhao's desk. Su Anya was shocked and angry. "Jin Kexin, what are you doing?" Saying that Su Anya ran at her.
Having been caught on site, Jin Kexin was scared. She hadn't thought that Su Anya would appear. In order to stop Su Anya, Jin Kexin grabbed the ashtray on the desk throwing it towards Su Anya's head.
Su Anya didn't expect that Jin Kexin would be so bold, so she wasn't mentally prepared, and was hit straight on the head.
"Ah!" An agonized scream.
There was music in the hall, and people were busy talking with one another, so none of them noticed the scream, except Gu Ning. She recognized that it was Su Anya's voice and quickly went upstairs without hesitation.
At the same time, she used her Jade Eyes to see what was going on.
On the second floor, Jin Kexin escaped from Su Zhenhao's study in panic, while Su Anya was lying on the floor with her head bleeding.
Gu Ning ran faster. It seemed that this was the reason why she felt anxious tonight.
Jin Kexin wouldn't answer the call, and Gu Ning went upstairs. Jin Jingwei felt more nervous now. He was afraid that Gu Ning and Su Anya would find out about his scheme, but he couldn't follow to stop Gu Ning. Otherwise, it would arouse a lot more attention, so he had to wait in the hall in anxiety.
"What is boss doing?" Hao Ran asked with doubt.
"Shall we follow?" Chu Peihan said.
"It's Anya's home, and we can't walk around casually. I think boss is going to find Anya. Let's wait here," Mu Ke said.
Chapter 393 Gu Ning Killed Su Anya?
Gao Yi and Qiao Ya realized that something must be wrong from Gu Ning's face. However, without Gu Ning's order, they could only stay in the hall.
Other guests noticed Gu Ning walking to the second floor in a hurry, but they all believed that Su Anya told her to come upstairs.
The moment that Gu Ning was on the second floor, she ran into Jin Kexin. Before Jin Kexin could react, Gu Ning kicked her in her stomach. Jin Kexin screamed in pain and hit the wall before she slid down to the ground.
After that, Gu Ning immediately went into the study to check on Su Anya's condition.
Su Anya had already fainted, so Gu Ning used her magic power to stop her wound from bleeding.
Jin Kexin understood that her family would be involved if others found out that she had injured Su Anya and secretly slid into Su Zhenhao's study.
Therefore, she decided to make Gu Ning her scapegoat. Jin Kexin tolerated the severe pain and crawled to the stairs. "Help! Gu Ning killed Anya! Help!"
All the people in the hall stopped talking all of a sudden, looking towards the second floor with horror. Gu Ning killed Su Anya? Nobody believed it, and only Jin Jingwei knew what had happened. It was obvious that Jin Kexin was exposed and had attacked Su Anya.
"What did you say?" Su Zhenhao was shocked.
"Jin Kexin, are you insane?" Hao Ran was furious.
Jin Kexin ignored him and added, "Gu Ning killed Anya, and injured me. There is so much blood on the floor."
At that moment Jin Kexin's face was pale and she covered her stomach in pain. It seemed that she was indeed injured badly.
No matter whether Jin Kexin was telling the truth, Su Anya's parents ran upstairs at once, followed by many people.
Hao Ran and Gu Ning's other friends including Gao Yi and Qiao Ya didn't believe it, but they had to go upstairs and check themselves.
When a group of people dashed in the study, Gu Ning was standing in front of the desk, while Su Anya was lying in a pool of blood on the floor. She was still unconscious and likely to die.
Many people were stunned by the scene, and Mrs. Su almost collapsed in fear. "Anya! Wake up, Anya!" Mrs. Su knelt beside Su Anya and cried.
Su Zhenhao called an ambulance at once before he looked to Gu Ning. "Miss Gu, what is going on here?"
Su Zhenhao's voice sounded cold to some extent. Although he didn't believe that Gu Ning killed his daughter, it was undeniable truth that Gu Ning was at the crime site where Su Anya was attacked.
"I heard Anya's agonized scream, so I ran upstairs. When I came here, Anya had already been hit and was lying here. Her head is badly injured," Gu Ning replied calmly.
Even though she said that, except for Gu Ning's friends, nobody completely trusted her explanation.
"Stop acting! I saw you throw the ashtray at Anya's head! I discovered you, so you kicked me in my stomach!" Jin Kexin retorted and lied. Jin Kexin was feeling sheer panic because a lie was a lie. However, she also knew that if she failed to make Gu Ning her scapegoat, she would be the one who was doomed. In that case, she had to force herself to lie.
"Damn you! Our boss would never hurt Anya!" Hao Ran said angrily.
"Exactly, our boss wouldn't hurt Anya!" Qin Zixun and the others echoed.
"Miss Gu claims that she heard Anya's agonized scream and went upstairs. Why did none of us hear it?" Jin Jingwei argued. Even though he blamed Jin Kexin because she had ruined his scheme, he had to protect her now.
Hearing that, many people agreed. They hadn't heard anything strange.
"Because I have acute hearing," Gu Ning said calmly as usual.
"Well, that's what you say, but no one believes it," Jin Jingwei said.
"Exactly!" Some agreed with Jin Jingwei.
Gu Ning glanced through the crowd coldly and said, "Well, why do you all choose to believe Jin Kexin's words instead of mine? If I told you that it was Jin Kexin who attacked Anya and was caught by me on site, so I kicked her, would you believe it?".
Hearing that, everyone started to stare at Jin Kexin. Some believed it, while some didn't.
Jin Kexin panicked a little and tried her best to defend herself. "You're crazy! I'm Anya's close cousin, and I wouldn't hurt her!"
Exactly! Jin Kexin was Su Anya's older cousin, so people chose to believe her. As for Gu Ning, although she was Su Anya's close friend, she was an outsider after all, but they still didn't understand why Gu Ning would attack Su Anya, especially in the Su family's house.
"I believe my boss. It's you who attacked Anya!" Hao Ran said to Jin Kexin.
"You're Gu Ning's friend, so you will, of course, support her." Jin Kexin retorted.
"Jin Kexin, how dare you do this! I promise you that I'll pay you back one day!" Chu Peihan pointed at Jin Kexin threateningly. She didn't care that there were many important officials here.
Hearing Chu Peihan's threat, Yuan Jisong frowned a little. Obviously, he didn't like Chu Peihan's behavior but didn't say anything. Su Zhenhao was his best friend, and Gu Ning was his lifesaver. If Jin Kexin had really attacked Su Anya but made Gu Ning her scapegoat, he would definitely punish Jin Kexin. Although he believed Gu Ning, there was no solid proof yet.
If Su Anya could wake up now, everything would be clear then. However, the problem was that Su Anya was still unconscious. And it seemed that she had been injured badly from the pool of blood on the floor.
Chapter 394 Punch Jin Kexin
"Enough! Anya is in great danger now. Couldn't you stop arguing? No matter who attacked Anya, she'll pay for it!" Mrs. Su shouted in anger. Su Anya could die, but they were busy defending themselves.
Hearing that, Jin Jingwei and Jin Kexin were anxious. They both hoped that Su Anya would never wake up again so that they would be safe.
"Jin Kexin, as soon as Anya wakes up, everything will be clear," Gu Ning said.
The last thing Jin Jingwei and Jin Kexin wanted to see was Su Anya waking up, so they would do everything to stop it from happening. Once Su Anya was admitted to the hospital, Jin Jingwei would secretly do something to keep her in deep sleep.
However, to their astonishment, before the ambulance arrived, Su Anya opened her eyes right after Gu Ning told her to do so.
Everyone was shocked when Su Anya suddenly woke up. Jin Kexin and Jin Jingwei were also terrified.
"Anya, are you alright?" Mrs. Su smiled tearfully. "Anya?" Su Zhenhao was both excited and surprised.
In fact, Gu Ning had rescued Su Anya the moment she came inside. And she told Su Anya to pretend to be unconscious to trap Jin Kexin.
"It was Jin Kexin who attacked me! I caught her stealing a document in my father's study so she hit me with an ashtray!" Su Anya glared at Jin Kexin, clenching her teeth.
Hearing that everyone looked at Jin Kexin in shock. Jin Kexin tried to steal a document from Su Zhenhao's study, but was caught by Su Anya, so she hit Su Anya with an ashtray?
Hearing that Su Anya mentioned a document, Su Zhenhao immediately ran to his desk and searched for it.
Mrs. Su, on the other hand, slapped Jin Kexin across the face and questioned her, "Jin Kexin, how could you do that?"
Jin Kexin covered her hurt cheek, but didn't know how to retort. Su Anya had already woken up, and she had no excuse to defend herself.
Jin Jingwei also didn't dare to help Jin Kexin, because he was in big trouble too.
"Jin Kexin, you dared to slander Gu Ning, so I'll punch you down to the floor!" Chu Peihan ran to Jin Kexin and punched her without hesitation. Jin Kexin was heavily hit again and screamed in pain.
Everyone around them was struck dumb because they didn't expect that Chu Peihan would really hit Jin Kexin. And it was obvious that Chu Peihan had been trained.
"Stop it! Stop!" Jin Jingwei shouted and wanted to stop Chu Peihan. However, Hao Ran and the other boys went ahead and caught Jin Jingwei. Therefore, Jin Jingwei could only watch Jin Kexin being punched.
As for others, nobody was willing to get involved in this mess.
"Alright, stop now," Yuan Jisong said, but wasn't very serious, because he just did it superficially due to his identity. Jin Kexin had attacked his best friend's daughter and slandered his lifesaver! Yuan Jisong was an upright official, but not weak. He would also fight back if someone dares to hurt people that he cared about.
Chu Peihan didn't beat Jin Kexin for very long, because Jin Kexin couldn't tolerate it at all. Even though Chu Peihan was in a rage, she knew when to stop. If Jin Kexin died, she couldn't bear the result. Anyway, Jin Kexin was doomed to be sentenced to jail.
Su Zhenhao did lose a document which was quite important. It was a tender document for a tourist scenic area. The reason why Jin Jingwei frequently visited him the past few days was because he tried to get a share of the loot. However, Su Zhenhao rejected him, because Su Zhenhao wasn't in charge of the project alone and couldn't make decisions on his own.
Given what had happened, Su Zhenhao figured out what was going on now. Jin Jingwei told Jin Kexin to slide in his study when he was absent to steal the tender document so that Jin Jingwei could get the project. Su Zhenhao was angry that Jin Jingwei would hurt his family for money. Since Jin Jingwei didn't care about them, Su Zhenhao wouldn't regard them as his family any longer!
"Where is the document?" Su Zhenhao questioned Jin Kexin who was beaten down on the ground.
It was too painful for Jin Kexin to utter a word now, so she didn't answer the question.
"Oh, it's under the sofa. When I kicked her away, the document fell there," Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, Su Zhenhao walked to the sofa at once. He knelt and searched for the document.
There was indeed a document under the sofa. Su Zhenhao was relieved when he was sure it was exactly what he was searching for.
Afterward, Su Zhenhao gave Jin Jingwei a cold glance. He didn't say it directly to Jin Jingwei, but the crowd before him. "From now on, I, Su Zhenhao, will withdraw any investment and cooperation with the Jinhua Group. And whoever continues to work with the Jinhua Group is cutting business connections with our Su family!"
"Zhenhao!" Jin Jingwei panicked a lot and tried to stop Su Zhenhao. The Jin family relied on the Su family to run its business. If Su Zhenhao withdrew all of his investments and cooperation, the Jin family would barely make a living. Besides, Su Zhenhao also threatened other big companies to not work with him. In that case, the Jin family's business would go bankrupt soon.
"Don't call my name! As of this minute, you're no longer my family. And the Jin family is banned from entering this house!' Su Zhenhao said icily. Then he added, "The police will deal with Jin Kexin."
Jin Jingwei opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. It was too late to regret it.
"Oh, Gu Ning, what is the medicine that you just gave me? I stopped bleeding within seconds and my wound doesn't ache anymore," Su Anya asked curiously.
When Su Anya had woken up, Gu Ning had given her a special medicine, which stopped her wound from bleeding and aching.
Hearing that, everyone was surprised. Gu Ning really was a young girl full of surprises.
"Well, it's a special medicine with great effects. And it can cure most diseases. If the disease isn't severe, a pill is enough. If it's severe, several pills will help," Gu Ning said.
Chapter 395 Advertisement of Medicine
"If it's a rare disease, I'm not sure whether it can be cured completely, but it can at least be improved. Previously a patient who had heart disease took five pills of this medicine, and his heart disease was cured afterward. He's healthy and energetic now." Gu Ning was advertising her medicine.
Hearing that, everyone rounded their eyes in shock. Nobody could believe it because it sounded so unusual. However, Su Anya was a great example. Her wound stopped bleeding or aching after she had taken Gu Ning's medicine. Meanwhile, some also thought that maybe Su Anya wasn't badly injured at all and Gu Ning's medicine accidentally rescued her.
"Miss Gu, I really don't know how to thank you enough. You're a lifesaver of our Su family!" Su Zhenhao thanked Gu Ning with sincerity.
Gu Ning replied. "Uncle Su, please don't say that. Anya's my close friend."
"Miss Gu, is your medicine really that effective?" someone asked.
"Well, I understand that it's hard for you to believe it, even though Anya is a great example. However, no matter whether you believe it or not, this special medicine is worth a fortune, so it depends on me whether I want to sell it," Gu Ning said proudly. She didn't care whether people trusted her. Instead, she knew that people would be eager to buy it once they found out about its effects.
"Miss Gu, can your medicine be effective against muscular dystrophy?" a middle-aged man asked with hope. He was Lan Yubin, the chairman of Lantu Travel Agency, which was the leading tourism company in City F. Although Lan Yubin wasn't on the rich list, his company had hundreds of millions of yuan in assets.
Lan Yubin's son had been affected by a rare disease four years ago, and the muscles of his right calf became weaker over time. He couldn���t walk and sat in a wheelchair all day. Although medical science had developed a lot, rare diseases were still hard to cure.
"If you believe me, then yes it can," Gu Ning said.
"Well, can you sell some to me?' Lan Yubin was excited. He was willing to trust Gu Ning, and seize every chance to cure his son.
"Sure, but I'm not certain that you're willing to pay its price," Gu Ning said.
"Of course I'm willing to," Lan Yubin said without hesitation. As long as the medicine could cure his son, he was willing to pay a fortune for it.
"You didn't even bother to ask its price. The patient must be very important to you. I appreciate your generosity, and I'm not mean either. Each pill costs a million yuan. Don't worry, if the medicine isn't 80% effective, you don't need to pay a cent. Also, I need to see the patient in person to decide how many pills it needs to cure the disease," Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, everyone was greatly surprised. A million yuan a pill? The medicine did cost a fortune. However, what surprised them more was the fact that the medicine would be free if it wasn't 80% effective. Did Gu Ning say that because she was afraid that her medicine wasn't effective enough, or was she so confident that her medicine could cure the disease? Everyone had doubts in their minds.
"No problem, Miss Gu, when are you free?" Lan Yubin didn't think the price was too high. Instead, he couldn't wait to invite Gu Ning to visit his son.
"I'll be busy tomorrow. So if it's convenient, we can go to see the patient now." Gu Ning was leaving for City G tomorrow, so she could only deal with it tonight. Luckily, it wasn't late and was only 8 pm.
"Sure-sure." That was exactly the answer that Lan Yubin wanted to hear.
At this time, the ambulance arrived. Gu Ning said, "Although Anya's wound isn't bleeding now, I think that she should still go to the hospital and have it looked at."
Gu Ning didn't want it to seem too unreal, so she deliberately left the wound open. The hair could cover the wound, so it wasn't very bad. After all, Gu Ning could remove the scar later if Su Anya wanted.
After that, Su Zhenhao and his wife immediately took Su Anya to the hospital. Jin Kexin was also admitted to the hospital because she was also badly injured. When Jin Kexin left the hospital in a few days, she would be sentenced by the court.
Yuan Jisong, on the other hand, stayed to see the guests out on behalf of Su Zhenhao.
Chu Peihan and the others went home together, while Gu Ning along with Gao Yi and Qiao Ya followed Lan Yubin to his house. Coincidentally, Lan Yubin lived in Fenghua Luxury Mansion too.
The Lan family's house was a two-story loft with a small garden in Zone B and it looked like a villa. It was still early, so Lan Yubin's wife and son together with their housemaid were still awake. They were watching TV in the living room.
Seeing Lan Yubin walking inside with several strangers, Mrs. Lan didn't ask further but told the housemaid to pour cups of tea.
"Jiayuan, this is Miss Gu. She has a special medicine which can cure most diseases. Miss Su's head was badly injured today, but her wound stopped bleeding and aching after taking Miss Gu's medicine, so I invite Miss Gu to see Tianhua," Lan Yubin said to his wife. Tianhua was Lan Yubin's son, Lan Tianhua.
Mrs. Lan's eyes lit up at once. "Really?"
"Please let me see his calf first!" Gu Ning didn't want to make promises right now, because they would find out the effects soon enough.
"Sure," Mrs. Lan said. She immediately helped Lan Tianhua roll the pant to his knee.
Seeing that Gu Ning was very young, Mrs. Lan had doubts. However, she had the same feelings as Lan Yubin. As long as it was effective, she wouldn't allow herself to miss any chance to cure her son. And Lan Yubin had also said that Miss Gu had cured Miss Su's injury, so she chose to believe Gu Ning.
Lan Tianhua, of course, was eager to be healthy again. The muscles of his calf were so weak that his calf was left with only a bone. Gu Ning walked forward and pinched his calf, but Lan Tianhua had no feeling at all.
"Miss Gu, how is it? Can it be cured?" Lan Yubin was nervous.
"Yes, but it takes three pills," Gu Ning said.
apter 396 The Golden Buddha
"Really?" Lan Yubin and his wife were thrilled to know that their son could be cured, so they didn't care how much it cost.
"Well, I can give him one pill now. Within five minutes, his calf will regain feeling," Gu Ning said and took out a small porcelain bottle with power crystals inside.
"What? In five minutes?" Lan Yubin and his wife rounded their eyes in shock, and couldn't believe their ears. Then Gu Ning poured out a power crystal and gave it to Lan Tianhua. "Tianhua, take it now, and your leg will regain feeling."
"Really?" Lan Tianhua ached to stand up, but after years of medical treatment, he still sat in this wheelchair.
"Yes," Gu Ning said with a smile.
"Great, I'll take it," Lan Tianhuas said. He opened his mouth and swallowed the power crystal Gu Ning gave him. All of a sudden, he felt a cold air spreading through his body, which was quite comfortable.
Lan Yubin and his wife kept staring at Lan Tianhua. Both of them were pretty nervous.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes later, Lan Tianhua's calf finally started to have feeling. It even twitched a few times. Lan Yubin and his wife noticed and asked without delay, "Tianhua, how do you feel now?"
"A little painful, but cold," Lan Tianhua replied. The pain was tolerable.
"If you can feel the pain, it means that your calf is recovering," Gu Ning said. It took time for Lan Tianhua's calf to get back to normal, so it was natural that it would be painful.
Hearing that, Lan Yubin and his wife cried in happiness.
Gu Ning gave the porcelain bottle to Lan Yubin and said, "There are another two pills in it. Take a pill every three days, and its effect will be increasingly obvious. After taking the three pills, he's likely to walk. However, during the period, his calf must be massaged every day so that it'll recover faster."
Lan Yubin took the porcelain bottle. His hands were trembling in excitement, but he held it tightly in his hands because these pills could cure his son!
"Thank you so much, Miss Gu!" Lan Yubin said.
Three pills cost three million yuan. Lan Yubin took out a check and wrote the amount down. He gave the check to Gu Ning, and Gu Ning gave it to Gao Yi. After that, Gu Ning left the Lan family's house.
Gu Ning told Gao Yi to redeem the check tomorrow. Gu Ning didn't like checks and preferred cash. Gao Yi and Qiao Ya also needed to pack up for tomorrow's flight to City G. Gao Yi and Qiao Ya were Gu Ning's reliable assistants now.
Qin Haozheng went back to his home and seemed in a bad mood. Mrs. Qin was worried about him, and Qin Haozheng told her what had happened in the Su family today. It wasn't a secret anymore since there were so many socialites at the party.
When Mrs. Qin found out that Gu Ning was the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry, she was quite amazed, but she wouldn't doubt her husband's words. As for how Gu Ning had rescued Su Aya with her special medicine, Mrs. Qin also thought it was too incredible.
"Wow, Gu Ning is so amazing! She has a billion yuan of wealth at such a young age!" Mrs. Qin said.
"Indeed. I think that Yifan is right. Although Gu Ning can't compare with us now, she could soon be richer than any of the other super-rich families in City F," Qin Haozheng said.
"Well, unfortunately, Gu Ning doesn't have feelings towards Yifan." In the beginning, Mrs. Qin didn't want Qin Yifan to date an ordinary girl, but now she found out that Gu Ning wasn't simple at all. She felt that it was a shame that Gu Ning had rejected Qin Yifan.
Qin Yifan was standing at the stairs and heard his parents' conversation. He wasn't very shocked when he heard that Gu Ning was the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry because he had always had the same idea in his mind. However, he was astonished by the fact that Gu Ning had rescued Su Anya. Although he knew that Gu Ning wasn't simple, she did surprise him again and again. However, he was attracted to Gu Ning not because she had so many unbelievable skills, but because of her personality.
During this time, Qin Yifan had recovered a lot from Gu Ning's rejection. Although it was still painful to think about Gu Ning, he had already given up. After all, a romantic relationship wasn't something that you could get after working hard.
On their way home, Gu Ning suddenly thought of Su Zhenhao. She thought that it was better to deal with his problem right now, so she called Su Anya at once.
Su Anya was being examined, so Su Zhenhao answered the call, which was exactly what Gu Ning wanted.
"Hi, Gu Ning, Anya is being tested right now, so it isn't convenient for her to answer your call," Su Zhenhao said gently.
"Uncle Su, I called exactly for you," Gu Ning said.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Su Zhenhao asked with a little surprise. He thought that Gu Ning might need his help.
"Uncle Su, have you been feeling uncomfortable recently and been constantly having nightmares? Sometimes, you almost faint?" Gu Ning asked.
Hearing that, Su Zhenhao was struck dumb. "Exactly, I've been busy recently and seldom have rest," Su Zhenhao said. Su Zhenhao didn't think that he was sick or something, but had thought that he was too busy.
"Did you get any antiques recently?" Gu Ning asked again.
Su Zhenhao frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Gu Ning asked that but he believed that Gu Ning had no intention to harm him, so he replied, "Yes, one of my good friends sent me a golden buddha two weeks ago."
"Did you start to feel uncomfortable after you received the golden buddha?" Gu Ning asked.
Su Zhenhao was smart enough to understand Gu Ning's meaning. It was possible that the golden buddha was the reason why he felt so uncomfortable these days.
Chapter 397 Rescue Su Zhenhao
Su Zhenhao didn't believe it in the beginning. How could a golden buddha make a human uncomfortable? However, he wasn't stubborn. Although he didn't believe in gods or ghosts, he had heard some stories about them.
Even though it was very hard to believe it, he did start to feel uncomfortable right after he received the golden buddha. "Yes, I did feel sick after receiving the golden buddha, and it gets worse day by day," Su Zhenhao said.
After a while, he added, "Gu Ning, you must know the reason since you asked me the question. Although I don't believe in gods or ghosts, I trust you, and you can tell me directly."
"Well, then I'll be honest with you. I noticed that your face is unusually pale and your forehead is dark black, which are the symptoms of getting affected by Yin. From what I know till now, antiques are objects which can carry Yin, because they've been buried under the ground with dead people for so many years. If a living person is affected by Yin, he will get sick, and die after a long while," Gu Ning said.
"What?" Su Zhenhao was shocked, even though he was mentally prepared when he heard that he could die after a long time of being affected by Yin, Su Zhenhao's pale face turned even paler.
"I know that it sounds very strange and unbelievable, but the world is big and full of strange things. I think you better accept it," Gu Ning said.
"Well, what should I do now?" Su Zhenhao asked. Although it was still hard for him to accept it, he chose to follow Gu Ning's advice.
"I'm not sure that the golden buddha is the source yet. Please show it to me when I visit you at your company tomorrow. If it does carry Yin, you can give it to me and I know how to drive the Yin away. I can give it back to you after that. As long as you're apart from Yin, you'll recover gradually," Gu Ning said.
"Sure-sure," Su Zhenhao answered. He didn't doubt Gu Ning's aim at all, nor ask how she knew all these things about Yin because he understood that he shouldn't ask further if Gu Ning didn't say more herself. As long as Gu Ning was helping him sincerely, it was enough.
After Gu Ning hung up with Su Zhenhao, Gao Yi asked curiously, "Boss, does Yin really exist?" Qiao Ya was also curious because this was the first time that they had ever heard of it.
"Yes," Gu Ning replied but didn't explain further. Gao Yi and Qiao Ya stopped asking, but they all believed Gu Ning.
When Gu Ning got home, she told Gu Man that she was going to City G, and her mother, of course, allowed her. After Gu Man found out that Gu Ning was the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry, she thought that it was quite reasonable that Gu Ning flew to City G often.
The next day around 9 am, Gu Ning along with Gao Yi and Qiao Ya drove to the Su family's company.
Gu Ning called Su Zhenhao when they parked the car in the parking lot. Su Zhenhao then immediately packed the golden buddha and went to meet Gu Ning.
The moment Gu Ning saw the golden buddha, she knew she had made the right choice because the golden buddha carried thick Yin. Gu Ning took the golden buddha and gave a porcelain bottle to Su Zhenhao. "Uncle Su, take the pills inside, and you'll recover soon."
Su Zhenhao knew that the pills were Gu Ning's special medicine which cost a million yuan a pill. A million yuan was nothing to Su Zhenhao who was a super-rich businessman, and he was willing to pay the price as well, but he was declined by Gu Ning. Su Zhenhao insisted on giving Gu Ning money, but Gu Ning wouldn't take it, so he had to compromise at the end. And now he owed Gu Ning a big favor.
That morning, many people called Lan Yubin, continuously asking him about his son's condition and whether Gu Ning's medicine was effective. The answer was affirmative, and his son was able to walk within half a month. Lan Yubin also intentionally advertised for Gu Ning.
With the affirmative answer, some who wanted the medicine too asked Lan Yubin for Gu Ning's phone number. They also wanted to buy her special medicine. However, without Gu Ning's permission, Lan Yubin didn't tell them.
Lan Yubin told Gu Ning about it later, but Gu Ning rejected giving them her phone number because she had no time to deal with them at the moment.
Afterward, two pieces of shocking news about Gu Ning went across City F. People all heard that the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry was an 18-year-old girl whose name was Gu Ning. And that she had a special medicine with great effects. It could cure most diseases. Miss Su was an example.
Most people believed the first piece of news because a majority of socialites with high social status were all aware of it, but few people would believe the second piece of news, because nobody thought that a kind of medicine existed which could cure most diseases in this world.
No matter what, Gu Ning shocked many people in City F. She was only 18-years-old and she already had a jewelry company with a billion yuan in assets.
Many news reporters wanted to interview Gu Ning, but Gu Ning wouldn't answer their calls.
Gu Qinxiang also heard the astonishing news. He was struck dumb and couldn't believe that the Gu Ning in the news was the one he knew, but there was no such coincidence that they shared the same age and name.
Chapter 398 Song Manni
It was very hard for Gu Qinxiang to accept the truth. He was already quite jealous of their beauty salon and construction material store. If they also had a jewelry company, Gu Qinxiang would be hit heavily. He had worked so hard for over 20 years, and finally became a successful businessman with only dozens of millions of yuan in assets, but Gu Ning turned into a billionaire within several months!
He knew that Gu Ning wasn't weak now, but he couldn't help calling Gu Man after he heard the news. The old lady was still in the hospital, so Gu Man didn't block Gu Qinxiang's phone number in case anything bad happened to her mother and she would miss it.
Although she hated her mother, she wasn't cold blooded. And the old lady was paralyzed from the waist down. She couldn't walk but had to lie on the bed or move in a wheelchair. It was unlikely that she would cause Gu Man any more trouble.
"Gu Man, is Gu Ning the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry?" Gu Qinxiang asked. He didn't dare to annoy them, so he didn't sound high up in the air like he had been in the past.
Gu Man already heard the news that everyone was discussing, so she wasn't surprised that Gu Qinxiang got to know it too. "So what? It has nothing to do with you."
Gu Qinxiang was struck speechless, because it did have nothing to do with him, and so he hung up. Gu Qing, on the other hand, was still in shock. She was so surprised by the fact that Gu Ning, who was her niece, was the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry. Qin Zheng, Chen Ziyao, Shao Feifei, Lin Lijuan, and Gu Xiaoxiao also heard the news, and nobody was more astonished than them.
"How is it possible!" Lin Lijuan refused to believe that it was true.
"No, it must not the Gu Ning that we know. She's too poor to run a jewelry store!" Gu Xiaoxiao said.
As for those discussions, Gu Ning didn't care at all, because she had already arrived at City G.
It was 12:30 pm when they landed at the airport in City G.
Once she got off the plane, she turned on her phone and surprisingly found tons of unknown calls and messages. After reading them, Gu Ning understood that the news reporters were eager to find and interview her. Nevertheless, she was occupied now. In case they would call her again, she sent messages back to them saying that she wasn't in City F and couldn't receive interviews.
Those news reporters immediately asked when she would be back, but Gu Ning ignored them again. After that, she took a taxi to downtown for lunch.
Gu Ning had contacted Yan Zhenglin before she came to City G, so Yan Zhenglin's group was already waiting for her in the hotel.
Gu Ning had also given a document in which she wrote down all the properties of Hongyun Group that she planned to acquire to Yan Zhenglin so that she would know their price when she arrived.
The market price was 2.5 billion yuan, but the price that Gu Ning was offered was only 1.3 billion yuan, which was seven hundred million yuan less than her anticipation. It was a huge discount indeed, and it was the most Yan Zhenglin could offer her. And the reason why Gu Ning could get the price was because she had contributed a lot in the case against the Hongyun Group.
After the meal, Yan Zhenglin took Gu Ning to finish the legal procedures in person. Before long, it was settled.
After that, Gu Ning told Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to give the information to An Guangyao. They would assist An Guangyao in dealing with things. The hotels and restaurants under the Hongyun Group would be redecorated with a new name. In addition, Gu Ning planned to upgrade them to five-star hotels, and the new name would be the Fengteng Hotel. The restaurants would be upgraded as well, and renamed as the Fengteng Restaurant.
Fang Changsheng was ambitious, so his hotels and restaurants all had great locations. There was no problem in changing them into high-end places. As for the shopping mall, Gu Ning decided to leave it open as usual, because she would lose a million yuan if it closed for even a day.
Gu Ning planned to fly to City B alone the next day, while Gao Yi and Qiao Ya took a plane back to City F that day.
Gu Ning only spent a night in City G, so she didn't call Master Yan and the other masters. She went to the Jade Beauty Jewelry store and met Zhou Zhenghong.
"Uncle Zhou, how are you doing?" Gu Ning said.
"All is well. However, Shao Ping came to me a few days ago, and he tried to sell Zhoufu Jewelry to me at the price of fifty million yuan. Zhoufu Jewelry isn't worth ten million yuan at the moment, so I'd be dumb to buy it. I would be lying if I said that I have no feelings towards Zhoufu Jewelry. I built the brand after all, but I also know that it's already history, and I'm moving to the future with Jade Beauty Jewelry." Zhou Zhenghong didn't hide the fact that Shao Ping had come to him. At the same time, he showed his loyalty to Jade Beauty Jewelry before Gu Ning.
Hearing that, Gu Ning felt comforted. She was, of course, happy to hear that Zhou Zhenghong was loyal to Jade Beauty Jewelry since he already worked for her. Gu Ning would allow him to have a sideline, but it couldn't be jewelry. She didn't want to see them competing against each other.
Gu Ning didn't stay there long, because Zhou Zhenghong had to go home to eat with his son, so they separated. Coincidentally, Gu Ning met Song Manni in the restaurant and sat right next to her.
Song Manni was sitting across another woman who was her age. They were chatting while eating.
"Manni, what's your next step?" the woman asked.
"I'll quit and sell the house before I leave City G. I want to live in a new environment," Song Manni said. Although she felt disgusted by her ex-husband's family, she was also hurt, so she wanted to start anew.
"Where are you moving to? You've worked so hard to be a design director, and now you have to start afresh," the woman said. She felt sorry for Song Manni.
"It's fine. I'm single and without any pressure now. And since I've exposed what Song Meixin did, Feng Jie keeps begging me to get back together with him. I'm just so sick of him, so it's better that I move away!" Song Manni said.
Chapter 399 Negotiation with Song Manni
Speaking of Song Meixin, the woman's face was full of obvious dislike. "The bitch is so terrible. She even wanted to make Feng Jie the father of her child. However, thanks to her, you were able to see the real face of Feng Jie. Feng Jie's family is really shameless! Feng Jie is the one who is infertile, but they blamed you for it! I have to say that karma is real."
Hearing that, Gu Ning was surprised by the drama. Luckily, the result wasn't bad. However, if she had been Song Manni, she would have tortured the whole shameless family to get revenge.
Gu Ning thought that Song Manni was a clever, skillful woman. Since Song Manni planned to start anew, and Gu Ning lacked qualified workers, why didn't she hire Song Manni?
When they had almost finished the meal, the woman who was Song Manni's friend received a call and left, while Song Manni sat there alone.
Gu Ning took her half-finished dishes walking to the table where Song Manni sat. "May I have a seat?���
Song Manni recognized Gu Ning at first glance and was a little surprised. "Please."
With Song Manni's permission, Gu Ning sat down on the opposite side.
"Hi, I'm Gu Ning. And I couldn't help but hear your talk with your friend just then. I happened to hear that you want to change your job and live in a new environment. May I know your previous job?" Gu Ning asked.
Song Manni thought that Gu Ning was just casually chatting with her, so she didn't mind. "Interior design."
"It's a great job with a high salary, but quite tiring. Do you want to continue doing that?" Gu Ning asked.
"Well, just as you said. It's a great job with a high salary, but quite tiring too. If it hadn't been for my family, I wouldn't have worked so hard to make money. I even got cervical spondylosis[1] because of it, but I'm single now, and I can take it easy."
"As for the job, it depends. If I continue to work as an interior designer, I'll work less and take care of myself. And I don't mind changing to a new job either," Song Manni said.
Since Song Manni was willing to be honest with her, Gu Ning laid her cards on the table. "I think that you must be really good to be able to be a design director at such a young age, so I'd like to hire you as my employee. As for the title, you can choose. Whether it's jewelry store manager, hotel manager, restaurant manager or shopping mall manager, just say it. As long as you think you're qualified, you can work in my headquarters too. If you're interested, we can talk more about the details."
Song Manni was surprised by what Gu Ning had said. What? Her headquarters?
It wasn't because Gu Ning was so young, many young people started their own companies, but because it sounded like Gu Ning had many companies under her name. Like a jewelry store, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and so on. It wasn't a company. It was a business group!
Although Gu Ning looked serious, and it didn't seem like she was lying, Song Manni still doubted its authenticity. They were merely strangers after all.
Gu Ning didn't interrupt her thoughts, but enjoyed her dishes and waited for Song Manni to get her mind back.
After a long time, Song Manni finally got her mind back and said, "If it's true, I'd like to have a try. However, the point is whether it is real?"
"Of course it is, and I'll prove it to you after the meal," Gu Ning said.
Since Gu Ning said so, Song Manni temporarily believed her. "Where would my workplace be?"
"Three second-tier cities in Province D, and the capital," Gu Ning replied.
Hearing the capital, Song Manni's eyes lit up. She had wanted to build her career in the capital, but because of her ex-husband, she had chosen to stay in City F instead. Unfortunately, it didn't end up well.
"Are you sure that you're not an agent?" Song Manni asked with doubt, because the range of the company was so big, and she couldn't believe that Gu Ning was able to run a big business group of that size. That was the point. Gu Ning was too young to be a founder of a large business group in her eyes.
Gu Ning wasn't mad at all. It wouldn't be normal if Song Manni didn't doubt her.
At that time, Gu Ning finished her meal. She took out a file with all the copies of her properties from inside her backpack. Normally, Gu Ning would put her important stuff in her telepathic eye space. She didn't mind letting Song Manni know her real identity, because she chose her.
However, Gu Ning wouldn't tell Song Manni everything about her properties. She only showed Song Manni some of the documents for Jade Beauty Jewelry, Shenghua Real Estate, Fenghua Entertainment, and the other companies that she had just acquired from the Hongyun Group.
When Song Manni read the copies, she was completely astonished.
"Wow…" Song Manni looked at Gu Ning with amazement after reading, but couldn't say anything.
This young girl is so unbelievable! She's the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Shenghua Real Estate, and she just acquired many properties from the Hongyun Group
Song Manni hadn't heard of Fenghua Entertainment yet, because it was a newly-established company, so she wasn't very interested. However, she did know Shenghua Real Estate. The company had almost gone bankrupt but had been bought by a mysterious person.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious person was this young girl right before her eyes. She also knew about Jade Beauty Jewelry which had just caused a big sensation in City F, and was the most popular brand in the jewelry industry now.
Gu Ning had really astonished Song Manni. Although the documents could be forged, Song Manni chose to believe Gu Ning.

Chapter 400 Zhou Zhenghong's Son Is Kidnapped
"If you still don't believe me, you can check at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce," Gu Ning said, although she knew that Song Manni would trust her.
Song Manni inhaled deeply before she said, "I'm really surprised that you're able to achieve so much at such a young age. I do admire you and I'm willing to work for you, but I prefer the capital to Province
D."
"The headquarters are in the capital, but it's still being decorated. There will be many departments like Human Resources, Finance and so forth. We lack staff working there now because it's newly-built, so you can choose to be the manager of any department as long as you're able to do the job."
"Of course, I'll also give you chances to practice. Other than the positions in the headquarters, I'm going to open branches of Fenghua Entertainment, Jade Beauty Jewelry, and Shenghua Real Estate too. However, you'll only get promoted in the headquarters," Gu Ning said.
Although Gu Ning's business group was still young, Song Manni believed that it would be successful, because Jade Beauty Jewelry and Shenghua Real Estate were great examples. Song Manni also believed that Gu Ning had the ability to build her business empire.
"I'll work in Human Resources at the headquarters." Song Manni chose HR because she was more familiar with that department and had worked in it before.
Gu Ning immediately took out a contract and a pen from her backpack. She wrote on it and said, "Well, I'm not just saying it, and we can sign the labor contract now. Although the office building of our headquarters is still under decoration, we're badly in need of staff. If you're not busy right now, I hope that you can fly over and start to work right away. You'll be paid twenty thousand yuan a month without accommodation. Don't worry about the salary, it can be increased in the future and you'll get a bonus too."
As for the monthly salary, Song Manni was surprised, not because it was low, but because it was higher than she had thought. She had just started, and twenty thousand yuan was quite a lot compared to her peers. Even in the capital which was the most advanced city in this country, twenty thousand yuan a month was high. Moreover, her salary could increase in the future and she would get a bonus too! Facing such appealing conditions, Song Manni had no complaints. As for the accommodation, Song Manni didn't worry about it at all. Her house was worth two million yuan in City G and she planned to sell it as soon as possible. Two million was enough for her to buy a single apartment in the capital.
She just got divorced and had no plan to marry again in the short term. And if she was going to enter a second marriage, she would definitely marry a man with a house, because she had learned her lesson from her last marriage.
Gu Ning signed her name on the contract and handed it to Song Manni.
There was nothing serious for Song Manni to deal with in City G now. She had already handed in her resignation letter and could leave after three days. She had also put her house on sale. Although nobody called her yet, she wasn't worried, because she could rent an apartment in the capital for a short time. She had a savings of ten thousand yuan in her account too, which was enough to support her for a relatively long time. In addition, she would get the salary from her new job after a month. Therefore, she had enough money to live her life.
Song Manni read the contract and signed her name.
"I'm not mean. Although you're the manager of HR in my company, you can have a sideline in your free time," Gu Ning said. Song Manni's major was interior design, and Gu Ning would love to see her follow her interest.
Maybe Song Manni would go back to working as an interior designer someday. No matter what, as long as Song Manni was still willing to work for her, Gu Ning wouldn't mind. Hearing that, Song Manni was surprised and appreciated Gu Ning's kindness. Interior design was her major, and she was unwilling to give it up.
After signing the contract, Gu Ning said, "I'll make a call first."
She called An Guangyao and asked him when the decoration of the office building would start. An Guangyao told her that it would begin tomorrow.
The headquarters of their business group was under refurbishment, which was a large project, so An Guangyao cleared his schedule for it.
Gu Ning then told An Guangyao that she had hired Song Manni who would fly to the capital to assist him. Gu Ning didn't know much about decoration, so she asked An Guangyao what jobs Song Manni could do.
After hearing that Song Manni's major was interior design, An Guangyao was excited. He had wanted to hire an interior designer to be in charge of the interior style of the office building, but he hadn't found a qualified designer yet. If Song Manni could come, it would solve a big problem.
Song Manni was also excited after Gu Ning told her the news.
Gu Ning told Song Manni to design her office first. They didn't separate until eight pm. After that, Gu Ning went straight back to Clean Water Blue Sky.
She had been so busy these days, but once she had a break, she couldn't help missing Leng Shaoting. Having a boyfriend with a special identity and being unable to contact him whenever she wanted, Gu Ning felt resigned sometimes, but she loved him very much and would accept everything about him.
The next day, Gu Ning arrived at the airport of City G around 8:30 am.
However, when she had just entered the lounge, she received Zhou Zhenghong's call. Zhou Zhenghong said that his son had been kidnapped that morning by Shao Ping. Shao Ping asked for ten million yuan, or he would kill Zhou Zhenghong's son. What was worse, Zhou Zhenghong only had half an hour left.
