The supervisor immediately stopped.
"The meeting is adjourned," Mu Qi said, standing up and leaving the conference room.
Everyone first looked at the empty main seat, then at each other.
Mu Qi, after hurrying back to his office, quickly turned on his computer.
On the computer screen, Yun Shu Nian put down her phone and stretched, her crescent eyes narrowing into slits, while the corners of her mouth curved upward, showcasing her good mood.
On the other end of the screen, Mu Qi, in his office, gazed at this scene with obsession.
He even placed his hands on the screen, on Yun Shu Nian's waist and abdomen, as if they could truly touch each other.
After this, for the rest of the afternoon, Mu Qi focused on handling the various company matters that had accumulated during his absence.
For an entire afternoon, Mu Qi didn't even have a sip of water.
It wasn't until the sky began to darken slightly that Mu Qi stopped.
"Assistant Li, what time is it?"
Assistant Li, who had been waiting for Mu Qi's instructions, was slightly taken aback.
This was the first time the president had asked him such a question.
It was so simple, could there be a trap?
Assistant Li thought to himself, seeing Mu Qi's growing impatience, he quickly opened his phone.
"President, it's still 15 minutes before six."
As soon as Assistant Li finished speaking, Mu Qi tossed the contract in his hand onto the table, picked up his pre-prepared briefcase, and turned to leave.
"I'm off. We can discuss anything tomorrow."
Mu Qi's usually cool voice carried a hint of urgency.
Assistant Li pondered Mu Qi's words repeatedly, word by word, in his mind, and finally realized that Mu Qi was planning to leave early.
Heroes have always found it difficult to overcome the allure of beauty. It seemed their president, who treated overtime as a routine, was no exception.
Assistant Li turned and returned to his office.
If the king absents himself from morning court, what can his close eunuch do?
Assistant Li took a couple of steps and suddenly stopped.
Wrong!
What eunuch?
Bah, bah, bah!
...
In the living room of Qi Garden, the sounds of a comedy movie and the crunching of potato chips filled the air.
"Hahahaha... Aunt Ning, isn't it hilarious?"
Yun Shu Nian, sitting on the sofa, laughed uncontrollably at the comical scenes in the movie, not realizing that she had sprayed potato chip crumbs from her mouth.
Aunt Ning smiled and nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, with a bang, the living room door was closed.
Yun Shu Nian instinctively turned her head to look towards the door, then turned back.
But in the next second, the potato chip crumbs on her body were quickly wiped away by Yun Shu Nian with a tissue, and she sat up straight on the sofa with a serious expression.
Help, why is Mu Qi back all of a sudden!

In the study of the Ning family in the capital.
At this moment, after hearing Ning Jing sigh multiple times, Ning Chen couldn't help but step forward and gently stroke her head.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Brother, the sister-in-law I found for myself is already married." Ning Jing covered her face with a book.
That's right, these two were the young girl and her brother who had been following Yun Shu Nian.
Even without seeing her face, Ning Chen could sense Ning Jing's deep disappointment.
"Oh, you're only realizing that now?"
He remembered that when Ning Jing had approached Miss Yun Shu Nian and him, she hadn't seemed surprised when she saw the man beside Yun Shu Nian.
"Who knew the wall around him would be so hard to chip away at!" Ning Jing grumbled irritably.
Ning Chen gently ruffled Ning Jing's hair.
"You're quite impressive, you even know about 'chipping away at walls'."
Oops, I accidentally said what was on my mind!
Ning Jing lowered her head, her entire face hidden behind the book.
Ning Chen tried to pull the book from Ning Jing's hand with one hand, but didn't apply much force.
"Recite the core socialist values."
"I won't." Ning Jing exerted force, and the book was once again "welded" to her face.
"Prosperity, Harmony..."
Since Ning Jing refused to read, Ning Chen began to impart them to her himself.
Ning Jing held the book with her hands, using half of a palm to block her ears as well.
Seeing Ning Jing's resistance, Ning Chen leaned closer to her ear.
"Brother!"
...
Finally, when Ning Chen finished reciting, Ning Jing simultaneously relaxed her tightly closed eyes and the hands that were covering her ears.
"Brother, how long are you staying this time?"
Ning Jing's voice became much softer, clearly not wanting to face the possibility of Ning Chen returning to the army soon.
But she had to face it. She worried that Ning Chen would suddenly return to the army before she was ready to say goodbye.
"I've retired, and I probably won't be going back," Ning Chen said, a hint of wistfulness in his eyes.
Ning Jing happily jumped up from her chair.
"That's great, Brother! Then you can play with me every day." Ning Jing suddenly hugged Ning Chen.
Ning Chen, feeling uncomfortable, pushed Ning Jing away.
"Miss Ning, are you always so quick to throw yourself onto people?" Ning Chen asked sternly, pushing Ning Jing further away.
"Oh, Brother, you're not an outsider, why would I casually throw myself onto someone else!" Ning Jing pouted, tugging at Ning Chen's sleeve.
Ning Chen's stern questioning did not dampen Ning Jing's mood.
Upon hearing Ning Jing's words, Ning Chen's expression softened slightly. He raised his hand and flicked Ning Jing's forehead.
"Ow, Brother!" Ning Jing rubbed her forehead and looked at Ning Chen with a wronged expression.
Ning Chen felt a little uncomfortable under Ning Jing's gaze and turned back to his desk.
Not long after Ning Chen returned, Ning Jing's novelty with her brother had not yet worn off.
She stared at Ning Chen's back for a few more moments, thinking that she would have plenty of time to look later, and then picked up her book again.
A few minutes later.
"Oh, Brother, this is so boring." Ning Jing placed the book on the table and turned to bother Ning Chen.
Ning Chen did not respond, but his fingers on the book subtly rubbed the pages, and the corners of his mouth secretly curved upwards.
She hadn't changed at all.
"Do you know how long you've been reading?" Ning Chen asked, looking down at his book.
Although his tone was scolding, there was no hint of blame on his face.
"Brother, don't you think the sister we met at the amusement park looks familiar?" Ning Jing quickly changed the subject.
"Mm," Ning Chen replied.
"Really? Then perhaps the two of us really knew her before?
And yesterday was such a coincidence, you actually ran into the person I was planning to help you win over!"
Ning Jing became agitated as she spoke and blurted out her words. After speaking, Ning Jing quickly covered her lips with her hands.
Fortunately, Ning Chen's attention was not on Ning Jing's slip of the tongue at that moment.
"Do you remember a playmate we had when we were little called Nian Nian?"
