Chapter 164: Chapter 164 - 164 Cooperation

“The only outstanding candidates from the Ning Family this generation are you and Ning Yichen, with at least convincing performances in the military,” laughed He Jingyao. “So, do you think I’d be willing to elevate Ning Yichen to the position of President?”

“The person I recommend is definitely not my good-for-nothing brother,” Ning Ruixin said calmly.

“So?”

“As you said, our Ning Family has two outstanding members this generation. Apart from him, there is me.”

“Our country has never had a female President before, you must know how difficult that would be,” He Jingyao said, not at all surprised, yet smiling leisurely.

“There is always a first time. Plus, I believe Mr. He would prefer a partnership that is more challenging,” Ning Ruixin said with a cunning tone.

“I am a businessman,” He Jingyao leaned against the desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface. “I only want to know what benefits I can get.”

“As long as Mr. He is willing to cooperate, I won’t let you down in that regard. I imagine industries like oil and gas would definitely interest the He Family,” Ning Ruixin threw out bait.

“There are three years left until the next election,” He Jingyao, his lips curling up, said. “Miss Ning will need more political capital.”

“Of course, if I were not confident about that, how could I dare discuss a partnership with you, Mr. He?”@@novelbin@@

“Then, I shall watch with interest.”

“By the way, your younger brother is getting married next month, and you are welcome to bring your lovely wife along,” Ning Ruixin smiled. “Mr. He, I quite like your young wife.”

“Not interested,” He Jingyao said coldly, hanging up the phone.

Bring Su Zixi to Ning Yichen’s wedding? He would never do something that could cause Su Zixi distress.

…

On the other end, Ning Ruixin, listening to the dial tone, could not help but roll her eyes.

Such pettiness. Tch… His own brother has always been kept in the dark; He Jingyao probably played a significant role in that.

Thinking of this, Ning Ruixin felt even more sympathy for her foolish brother, but as she looked at the invitation in her hand, she could only sigh with resignation. The date for Ning Yichen and Su Lianxi’s wedding had been set for the first of next month, less than half a month away.

This brother of hers, typically somewhat weak-willed, had this time shown a remarkably firm stance, so much so that their parents had not only agreed to his marriage to Su Lianxi but also took the occasion as a signal for Ning Yichen to re-enter the social stage.

So… she put away her phone and stepped into the boutique bridal shop next door, looking at Su Lianxi, who was trying on wedding dresses there.

The couple’s wedding was arranged in haste, and the date was tight. Ning Yichen had a lot of things to deal with and couldn’t accompany Su Lianxi to try on wedding dresses, so Ning Ruixin, who was on leave and at home, took the initiative to accompany Su Lianxi to the boutique bridal shop.

However, Su Lianxi was somewhat afraid of her, hardly daring to bother her, but when she saw Ning Ruixin coming in, she had no choice but to raise a smiling face, “Sister, what do you think of this one?”

Ning Ruixin lazily lifted her eyes, uttered one word: “Ugly.”

Su Lianxi’s face stiffened, and she could only meekly say, “Then I’ll change into another.”

“Wait, let me tell you something,” Ning Ruixin waved her over.

Su Lianxi had no choice but to bravely walk over.

“You should know why Yichen is marrying you,” Ning Ruixin looked at her with deep meaning. “As things stand, I won’t say anything, but you’d better behave and dutifully be Mrs. Ning, take good care of Yichen. If I find out you’ve done anything wrong by the Ning Family or Yichen, I can have you out in minutes, do you understand?”

Su Lianxi’s face turned deathly pale!
