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 BGY’s general manager.
He couldn’t hear what they were saying, but from the back, Xiao Hu watched as they exchanged looks and smiled at the same time.
“CEO Ji, ah.” Xiao Hu abruptly stood up and leaned forward to say: “CEO Mo informed me to send you to his side directly after this exhibition. You’ll return to the hotel with him in the evening.”
Ji Nuan faltered due to Xiao Hu’s 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 BGY’s 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 Nuan’s hands were not cold, but against his head, it felt that way.
“No wonder your complexion seems poor. It isn’t just your stomach. You’re having a fever, aren’t you? You came out to work despite your illness?”
The woman’s 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. “I don’t have the habit of carrying cold medication or fever medication with me. Does your secretary have any? Is she aware that you’re feeling unwell? Your skin really feels quite warm to me.”
Mr. Vinse’s 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. “You can’t be working when you’re 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. Don’t make light of your body’s condition.”
“I rushed over to Jing City in the morning and felt quite unwell when I stepped off the plane. I was quite drowsy. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed it was a fever.” Mr. Vinse smiled. “It’s all right. I’ll head back when the event ends. There’s no need to worry.”
Ji Nuan nodded. He was a grown man and wasn’t 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 BGY’s 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 Siting’s WeChat. However, it wasn’t comfortable to message Qin Siting after their previous encounter, so she posted a message to her feed instead: “Can stomach discomfort lead to fever? Is this a serious cause of concern?”
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 Siting’s comment was at the bottom: [It’s true that gastroenteritis can lead to fever. Typically, it’s a symptom of acute gastroenteritis. Fever and vomiting is common. You will need antibiotics and various medication to treat it. It isn’t considered a serious illness, but fever indicates that the illness is slightly serious. It’s 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 family’s boss’s phone call.
“Hello, CEO Mo…” 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.
“Ji Nuan’s stomach isn’t well? She’s having a fever?” Mo Jingshen asked.
“Ah? No?” 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: “CEO Ji seems to be doing well. She doesn’t seem unwell at all.”
Mo Jingshen murmured to himself for a moment before speaking with a heavy voice: “Is there anyone next to her right now?”
“Not really. The people around her are mostly the old CEOs invited to watch the exhibition today,” Xiao Hu answered vaguely. He wasn’t sure if this BGY Group’s 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: “Right now, the person in front of her is the event organizer. I’m 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, it’s the representative from BGY Group, who has also had partnerships with her…”
Mo Jingshen had just stepped out of the meeting room. Upon hearing the word ‘BGY,’ 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, “BGY’s representative? Their local general manager, Vinse?”
“Eh, it is. CEO Mo, aren’t you absent? How would you know…” Xiao Hu felt his back turning cold from Mo Jingshen’s tone. “But speaking of which, Mr. Vinse seems to be feeling unwell. His complexion appears quite poor.”
Mo Jingshen did not reveal anything on his face. He indifferently replied, “I’ll be there in a while.”
“All right, CEO Mo.”
After hanging up, Mo Jingshen opened Ji Nuan’s 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 Nuan’s 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.
