Ten minutes later, the car finally arrived at its destination—
"Mr. Ou, my apologies for not being able to pick you up personally." As soon as the car stopped, an immediate greeting came from a middle-aged man in a black suit.
Ye Ning, inside the car, hurriedly tidied up her things and followed suit, stepping out as well.
But upon exiting the car, what appeared before her eyes was a luxury villa with exceptionally beautiful scenery, and at that moment, they were standing right at the entrance of this villa resort.
"Is this villa a new development of yours?"
"Yes, we just invested in it this year. Mr. Ou, what do you think?"
This middle-aged man seemed quite familiar with Ou Mucen, and after exchanging greetings, he immediately led him toward the hotel lobby.
Ye Ning saw this from behind and followed, carrying her laptop bag and her own small handbag, into the lobby as well.
Villas , privately developed, didn’t have many people around, but those who did come were all either rich or noble.
Ye Ning understood this principle, so after entering, upon seeing the people coming and going, she very sensibly maintained a distance from the two men in front, carrying her belongings on her back.
Her current attire was very down-to-earth, and if she caused the esteemed young master to lose face, it was uncertain how he might lose his temper.
However, no sooner had she pulled away than the person walking ahead suddenly turned back and looked at her: "What are you dawdling for?"
Ye Ning was taken aback: "I... I’m not doing anything?"
No one responded, and all she received was that person’s two icy stares.
Realizing what was happening, Ye Ning quickly sped up her pace to catch up. It was at this moment that she overheard some whispers from behind: "That girl is actually brought here by the third young master of the Ou family?"
"Indeed, who would’ve guessed? At first, I thought she was a college student who came to work here."
"Same here, you can’t judge a book by its cover, but she’s really lucky to have caught the attention of the president of the Ou Group. I wonder what’s her secret?"
"Innocence, obviously. Haven’t you seen how youthful..."
The two in front had already entered the elevator, oblivious, but Ye Ning, trailing behind, heard every bit of this gossip clearly. Hearing them say she was a college student who had climbed her way up to the Ou Group’s Crown Prince, she just sneered.
It seemed that envy was the same among women everywhere.
After taking the elevator up, Ye Ning didn’t dare to stray too far from the man, fearing he would get angry again.
In fact, she had carefully analyzed it in the elevator just now: he insisted she stay with him, because the phone was with her, and so was the laptop—he naturally required her to be by his side at all times.
Fortunately, all the way up to the top-floor restaurant, he did not give her any cold looks. Instead, he was engrossed in conversation with the man named Xiao Shan who had brought them up, paying no attention to her.
So she followed them to the restaurant and sat down, and as the two men chatted, she took out her phone and played with it.
"Brother Lin, is Xiaobao doing fine today?"
Lin Yebai: "Quite well, he can go tomorrow. I’m currently helping you move."
She was completely shocked at that moment, and once she recovered, she immediately tapped out a response: "Brother Lin, how could this be? I’ve already troubled you so much. How can I let you help me with such a big matter? Don’t move it, just wait till I get back."
