Typically, when CEO Ji was chatting with CEO Mo, she never leaned as close, nor did she smile as happily. However, right now, she seemed to be chatting up a storm with this BGYâs general manager.
He couldnât hear what they were saying, but from the back, Xiao Hu watched as they exchanged looks and smiled at the same time.
âCEO Ji, ah.â Xiao Hu abruptly stood up and leaned forward to say: âCEO Mo informed me to send you to his side directly after this exhibition. Youâll return to the hotel with him in the evening.â
Ji Nuan faltered due to Xiao Huâs abrupt words. She turned back to glance at Xiao Hu, but Xiao Hu had already sat back on his seat. His expression appeared frustrated.
It seemed like arranging CEO Ji with BGYâs people was a mistake...
Hearing those words, Mr. Vinse maintained a mild smile on the surface. He did not speak but lowered his head to open another bottle of water.
Mo Jingshen was also in Jing City?
They were returning to their hotel together, is that it?
After opening the bottle, Mr. Vinse returned it to the table and did not speak further. At this moment, he suddenly felt a cool and soft sensation against his forehead. He paused and stared at Ji Nuan, who had abruptly pressed her palm against his skin.
Ji Nuanâs hands were not cold, but against his head, it felt that way.
âNo wonder your complexion seems poor. It isnât just your stomach. Youâre having a fever, arenât you? You came out to work despite your illness?â
The womanâs hand was unbelievably soft. She pressed it against his forehead for a short moment before moving it down. Mr. Vinse, however, remained sitting in his original position without speaking. He felt that he could still imagine the sensation of her hand against his forehead.
Ji Nuan touched her own bag. âI donât have the habit of carrying cold medication or fever medication with me. Does your secretary have any? Is she aware that youâre feeling unwell? Your skin really feels quite warm to me.â
Mr. Vinseâs gaze paused on her face. His gaze had originally turned mild from the mention of Mo Jingshen. Now, it had darkened and deepened.
Ji Nuan did not pay attention to his strange behavior and was still concerned about his health. âYou canât be working when youâre sick. A few days ago, I was also feeling under the weather and I tried my best to rest in the hotel. I stepped out every once in a while but I was mostly sitting down. You should quickly head back after the exhibition. Donât make light of your bodyâs condition.â
âI rushed over to Jing City in the morning and felt quite unwell when I stepped off the plane. I was quite drowsy. If you hadnât mentioned it, I wouldnât have noticed it was a fever.â Mr. Vinse smiled. âItâs all right. Iâll head back when the event ends. Thereâs no need to worry.â
Ji Nuan nodded. He was a grown man and wasnât significantly affected by the fever. She indicated toward the bottle of water he had opened earlier with her eyes, hinting for him to drink more water. When one had a fever, staying hydrated was essential to help sweat out the fever.
After the exhibition began, Ji Nuan listened for a while but found it boring. She carelessly turned and noticed that Mr. Vinse had been seriously paying attention from the beginning. He did not have any familial or background relations with BGYâs management and had secured his position through years of learning and hard work. His dedication to his work was truly admirable.
She picked up her phone and scrolled through it carelessly; she recalled that she had previously added Qin Sitingâs WeChat. However, it wasnât comfortable to message Qin Siting after their previous encounter, so she posted a message to her feed instead: âCan stomach discomfort lead to fever? Is this a serious cause of concern?â
After sending it out, she placed her phone down.
After several minutes, her mind went back to it. She picked up her phone to see that there were several new comments.
Xiao Ba, along with several of her employees were asking if her stomach was hurting, and if it was serious.
Xia Tian, on the other hand, sent her a bunch of question marks: [????? What happened to you?]
Qin Sitingâs comment was at the bottom: [Itâs true that gastroenteritis can lead to fever. Typically, itâs a symptom of acute gastroenteritis. Fever and vomiting is common. You will need antibiotics and various medication to treat it. It isnât considered a serious illness, but fever indicates that the illness is slightly serious. Itâs best to have it treated in the hospital.]
Ji Nuan replied him: [(smile) (worship) As expected of a doctor. Even the way you speak sounds as if you quoted an encyclopedia.]
As Ji Nuan lowered her head to scan the moments, Xiao Hu was already being disturbed by his familyâs bossâs phone call.
âHello, CEO Mo...â Xiao Hu trembled slightly as he answered. He did not know why CEO Mo had made the call when he was supposed to be busy.
âJi Nuanâs stomach isnât well? Sheâs having a fever?â Mo Jingshen asked.
âAh? No?â Xiao Hu was dumbstruck. He raised his head to look at Ji Nuan who was still scrolling through her phone. Her lips were pursed to conceal a smile, and her expression appeared normal: âCEO Ji seems to be doing well. She doesnât seem unwell at all.â
Mo Jingshen murmured to himself for a moment before speaking with a heavy voice: âIs there anyone next to her right now?â
âNot really. The people around her are mostly the old CEOs invited to watch the exhibition today,â Xiao Hu answered vaguely. He wasnât sure if this BGY Groupâs general manager was close to CEO Ji, and if he had made a mistake in arranging their seats together. He hemmed and hawed for a while before finally saying: âRight now, the person in front of her is the event organizer. Iâm sitting right behind her. On her left, is a representative from Lu Cheng Property Group. I heard they have some past partnerships with MN Group. To her left, itâs the representative from BGY Group, who has also had partnerships with her...â
Mo Jingshen had just stepped out of the meeting room. Upon hearing the word âBGY,â he immediately paused in his footsteps. He raised his head in the direction of the parking lot, narrowing his eyes to speak with a cold, heavy tone, âBGYâs representative? Their local general manager, Vinse?â
âEh, it is. CEO Mo, arenât you absent? How would you know...â Xiao Hu felt his back turning cold from Mo Jingshenâs tone. âBut speaking of which, Mr. Vinse seems to be feeling unwell. His complexion appears quite poor.â
Mo Jingshen did not reveal anything on his face. He indifferently replied, âIâll be there in a while.â
âAll right, CEO Mo.â
After hanging up, Mo Jingshen opened Ji Nuanâs feed again and discovered that Qin Siting had left her a message the night before when he discovered they had mutual friends. He then saw Ji Nuanâs response.
Very good. The first post she had made about a man had been for someone else. On the bottom, there was also the interaction between her and another wild man.
Mo Jingshen scanned her feed over and over again, and read her conversation with Qin Siting over and over again. His brows gradually knitted and his complexion turned indifferent.
