Secretary Gao’s call came quickly enough, telling her that Ou Mucen was currently at the golf course, instructing her to go find him.
Ye Ning glanced at the map of the villa in her hands, noting that the so-called golf course was almost a kilometer away from here; she suddenly gasped in dismay.
Does he have a problem?
Why go so far for nothing? Doesn’t he know her foot hurts?
She was fuming, initially contemplating not going, but then realized if something happened to him, she probably wouldn’t end up reaping any benefits. So, after a sigh, she could only drag her tired legs in the direction of the golf course.
Meanwhile, Ou Mucen was utterly unaware of what had transpired. After signing the contract, he checked his watch, noting that it was nearly 5 p.m., hence he got up, ready to leave.
"Is Mr. Ou planning to leave now?" asked the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, hastily standing up.
Ou Mucen nodded, slipping the signed contract into the folder, "There’s a bit of business at the company I need to take care of."
This late and still work at the company?
The middle-aged man followed him, "There’s no rush in this moment, is there? It’s almost 5 p.m. now. If you drive back, it will take at least two hours. Let’s go have dinner first, and then head back. Besides, you might handle it, but your assistant might not be able to withstand it. I noticed she didn’t eat much at noon and she’s injured as well. If she has to go back hungry, I fear she might not hold up."
At these last words, Ou Mucen’s pace in packing up visibly slowed down.
The middle-aged man was highly perceptive, and seeing Mucen’s hesitation, immediately signaled to his followers, quickly agreeing to accompany him.
"Mr. Ou, it won’t be a long delay, just a meal. Oh, let’s go to the open-air swimming pool, shall we? The villa is hosting a gourmet salon today, which would be a great chance for Mr. Ou to try some delicacies and even provide us with some feedback."
Ou Mucen looked toward the area indicated, and sure enough, even from this distance, he could hear the noise, so he agreed without further ado, "Hmm, bring my assistant over too."
"Of course, Mr. Ou, I’ll arrange that immediately," the middle-aged man finally smiled.
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Ning finally arrived at the golf course, but before she could enter the lounge, someone approached her from behind, "Excuse me, are you Miss An, Mr. Ou’s assistant?"
Ye Ning turned around, "Yes, that’s me, who are you...?"
"That’s fantastic, General Xiao sent me to pick you up; Mr. Ou is already waiting for you at the open-air swimming pool."
"What did you say? The open-air swimming pool?"
Ye Ning felt like vomiting up a mouthful of old blood!
This damned bastard to be conned, after she had exerted so much effort with an injured leg to find him, and there he was, having delivered himself there already.
She remembered the threatening words he had said to her in the hallway not long ago and suddenly felt a deep satisfaction in her heart. She plopped down onto a flowerbed, determined not to move anymore.
Good riddance, you beast, scumbag, who let him bully her like that?
Ye Ning decided not to bother with the matter any further...
"Let me ask you, what kind of party are they throwing at that open-air swimming pool today? Who are the hosts?"
