The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 395

Her face flushed red, and she gave him an annoyed, coy glance, gently pushing him away and taking the phone from him.

"Sister Nianzhi Lu, did something happen?"

Generally if nothing was going on, Lu Nianzhi wouldn't call her at this time.

"There's no particularly important matter, I've already gotten the company affairs in order and sent the documents to your work email."

"I'm going abroad on a trip tomorrow. Too much has happened in Shenjing since I returned."

"You're right, I do need some quiet time to think things over between me and Xu Chuan. This tangled mess has had too big an impact on me."

Lu Nianzhi sighed as she explained. She was also very frustrated with her current contradictory state.

The tone in her voice no longer held that brisk and straightforward air of a strong career woman that Rong Dai was used to hearing when she first met her.

Now there was only a heavy sense of weariness and bewilderment.

Having worked together with Lu Nianzhi for such a long time, Rong Dai wasn't an unfeeling machine. She felt somewhat distressed over her situation.

If it wasn't for twists of fate, Lu Nianzhi and Xu Chuan's lives wouldn't be like this now.

"No problem, go relax and travel at ease. I'll handle things on this end." Rong Dai replied softly. The two talked a bit more about work matters before hanging up.

"Sister Nianzhi is going abroad to travel and unwind." After putting down her phone, she turned and embraced Huo Shao Ting's neck, telling him about it.

Huo Shao Ting murmured in acknowledgment. Lu Nianzhi's state recently has indeed been off, properly adjusting isn't a big deal.

"My health has recovered now, the TK incident has passed, and I want to get back to work."

"The company is still understaffed right now, I'll need to personally interview and deliberate."

She blinked her dark eyes at him. Though she wasn't acting coy, this expression was clearly meant to charm him.

"As for Jinxiufang... let's wait and observe for now. After all, we don't have any proof."

She thought for a moment before adding that last bit.

Today, she had given Jinxiufang, or rather Shi Ning to be more precise, an opportunity.

If Shi Ning treasured this chance given by Jinxiufang, perhaps certain things wouldn't happen.

Huo Shao Ting looked down at her. He knew that confining her at home would only torment her.

"I'll take good care of myself and won't let my health deteriorate again, I promise." Seeing that he didn't immediately agree, Rong Dai promptly held up three fingers in oath, her gaze exceptionally sincere as she looked at him.

With competition being so intense now, TK's failure at their China debut performance also damaged Jinxiufang's reputation.

To her this wasn't just an opportunity, but an opportunity for others as well.

Opportunities slipped by in an instant.

She couldn't always rely on Huo Shao Ting's help to resolve every issue for her. She needed to grow.

Seeing her like this, Huo Shao Ting let out a soft helpless sigh and stroked her cheek. "Do you need me to send someone else to your side?"

He never wished for her to overexert herself or constantly worry about so many things.

But he understood her radiance couldn't be obscured.

He would step back and stand behind her, becoming her staunch backbone.

If she ever grew tired or upset, she just had to turn around and she would still have him there.

Rong Dai shook her head. "Having Sister Nianzhi is enough, I want to discover and nurture the rest of the people myself."

"Otherwise, who does this company belong to? You or me?" She humphed, but warmth still filled her heart.

She knew he meant well, but she couldn't live under his wings forever.

Otherwise, those women always eyeing Shao Ting would absolutely seize any chance without mercy the moment it appeared.

She had to guard her own prosperity, so she needed to strengthen herself.
