Chapter 559: No way ahead, no confidence
Chapter 559: No way ahead, no confidence
Under the bright ceiling lights in the conference room, the air was cold and deliberately filtered.
Yun Ning sat at the side of the large conference table, her fingertips unconsciously sliding across the project proposal in front of her.
The paper has sharp edges and feels cool to the touch.
"Miss Yun,"
Chen Ziqi's clear voice rang out, like an icy spring sliding across stone. "This is the list of specific matters for the first phase. Please review it. If you have any questions, please raise them now."
The man was wearing a gray casual suit, and his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were sharp and calm.
Yun Ning leaned forward slightly, his eyes quickly scanning the entries on the document.
A heart beats joyfully in my chest.
This collaboration with Chen Ziqi went incredibly smoothly.
The contract has just been signed and the project has begun to be promoted.
Professional and neat, no drag.
This is simply... a blessing from heaven!
"No, absolutely no problem!"
Yun Ning raised her head and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Her eyebrows curved, and her cheeks even flushed slightly with excitement. "Mr. Chen, your company's efficiency and requirements are really clear! It's a pleasure to work with you!"
After she finished speaking, she stood up on her own initiative and extended her hand enthusiastically towards Chen Ziqi across the wide table.
There was a subtle pause in Chen Ziqi's movements, but it was fleeting.
He stood up, stretched out his slender and clean hand, and gently held Yun Ning's palm.
The man's fingertips were cold, like jade just taken out of a cold storage.
The touch startled Yun Ning slightly, and she couldn't help but hold it again.
This Chen Ziqi looks gentle and kind.
But his body temperature was frighteningly cold.
But the next second, Yun Ning realized that her action was a bit rude and quickly retracted it.
Fortunately, Chen Ziqi's expression looked normal, without any abnormality.
Yun Ning finally felt relieved.
However, the girl didn't see it at all. Chen Ziqi slowly put his hands behind his back.
Then, with a force that was almost spasmodic, he curled up.
It seemed as if an electric current was running along the man's fingertips, madly up his spine, and straight to the top of his head.
It almost made him unable to control himself, and he let out a satisfied sigh from the depths of his throat.
"You're welcome, Miss Yun."
Chen Ziqi forced himself to suppress it, his face still showing an impeccable indifference.
Only behind the lenses, there was a trace of elusive satisfaction.
He said, “Since there is no doubt, we will proceed as planned.”
Yun Ning was in a very good mood. She packed up her notebook and documents and picked up her bag. "Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll take my leave now."
"Hold on,"
Chen Ziqi walked around the conference table, came to her side, and said politely, "I'll take you home."
Yun Ning was not surprised either.
This Chen Ziqi is too grateful.
From the first moment they met, he was overly nice to her, his savior.
Yun Ning had been polite many times, but he didn't listen, so in the end she just gave in to him.
So, she nodded obediently: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Ziqi smiled slightly and walked out of the meeting room side by side with Yun Ning.
The shoes made a clear and distant echo when they stepped on the mirror-like marble floor.
Just as she arrived at the elevator, the phone in Yun Ning's bag suddenly vibrated.
She took out her cell phone and saw that it was a message from Ge Jing, a member of her lab team.
There was a string of anxious exclamation marks on it: Miss Yun, I'm really sorry to bother you.
But I know that you truly care about Mr. Gu, and only you can save our medical team.
Gu Wei and his men broke into our laboratory. I wonder what they are going to do!
If you have time, could you come with Assistant Jiang?
After reading the message, Yun Ning became anxious instantly.
This medical team already existed before she broke up with Gu Sili.
Jiang Yu said that those staff members were quite reliable. They had been concentrating on studying the virus in Gu Sili's body and had made some progress.
However, after Fan Qianqian appeared, this medical team began to be suppressed.
I didn't expect that Gu Wei would bully me to this extent.
Yun Ning sighed and said to Chen Ziqi beside him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I have some things on hand, so I won't be going home for now. You can go and take care of your own things."
Chen Ziqi's face showed no extra expression. He just nodded slightly and said, "Okay. But is your matter urgent? If so, I can take you there without wasting time."
"This……"
Yun Ning wanted to decline, but when she thought of Ge Jing's text message, she stopped hesitating and said, "Thank you so much!"
"Easy to do."
Chen Ziqi pressed the elevator button first and motioned Yun Ning to follow.
At this time, at the gate of Gu Group Private Hospital.
The early autumn wind brought cold raindrops, hitting every member of the medical team.
A dozen elites in white coats, holding large and small cardboard boxes, stood blankly under the hospital's magnificent corridor.
A group of people huddled together like homeless chicks whose nests were knocked out by a storm.
The rain flowed down my hair and cheeks.
A mixture of humiliation, anger and confusion, he was in an extremely awkward state.
But the cardboard boxes containing the experimental results in his arms were not wet at all by the rain.
Mr. Min coughed in the autumn wind and said to everyone, "The car I called will be here soon. Let's hold on a little longer."
"Yes, Mr. Min, we are not in a hurry."
Everyone responded in a low voice, with a calm expression on their faces.
But in fact, I was very unsure.
We are not afraid that no one will come to pick us up, but we are afraid that there will be no way forward in the future.
After being kicked out by Gu Wei, will they continue their research?
Where can I find a laboratory?
Can the equipment be as complete as that provided by Gu's Company?
They put a lot of effort into this research.
It was destroyed once along the way.
Now that it has finally been picked up, it has suffered another devastating disaster.
It's really disheartening.
Ge Jing pursed her lips and moved carefully in the crowd.
Then, she stood in front of Mr. Min calmly and used her body to block the autumn wind and rain for the old man.
Ge Jing looked into the distance, her eyes showing more confidence.
Whenever she encountered problems in the laboratory, she would subconsciously send a text message to Jiang Yu for help.
But no matter what, Gu Wei's position is higher than Jiang Yu's.
So, this time, she also sent a text message to Yun Ning.
Although Ge Jing was not familiar with Miss Yun, she knew that even if Mr. Gu and Miss Yun had a conflict, this girl's position would be unshakable.
If Miss Yun had help, the medical team would definitely not be disbanded.
Even the laboratory may have a place to stay.
Whatever comes to mind.
The next second, a luxurious black car stopped not far away.
The car door was pushed open, and a man and a woman walked out holding umbrellas.
It was a man, whom Ge Jing didn’t know.
But the woman was the Yun Ning she had been waiting for!
Miss Yun is dressed in a businesslike manner today.
She was wearing an off-white business suit, her black hair was tied back, she was meticulously dressed, and her beautiful eyes were surprisingly bright.
Moreover, Miss Yun's face looked very anxious, and she seemed to attach great importance to their medical team.
At that moment, Ge Jing knew that things were turning around!
