“Sure, Mommy, please be careful. Should 1 ask big brother to pick you up?” Xiao Xiao asked thoughtfully.

Shen Ning smiled, “No need, Mommy will spend some time with Ding Ding tonight and then take a taxi back. You two take care and go to bed early.”

“Okay, Mommy, I love you,” Xiao Xiao said with a sweet smile.

“I love you both too. Remember to sleep early,” Shen Ning replied tenderly before ending the call with a warm smile.

“Is Ms. Shen married now? How old are the kids?” As she stepped into the elevator, Shen Ning looked up to see Yan Zexiong gazing at her with a smirk on his face.

Shen Ning frowned slightly, standing in the corner of the elevator without responding.

Yan Zexiong had a sly look in his small eyes, calculating and seemingly sinister. She didn’t like him very much.

In her childhood, when Gu Qi was still her mother’s company, she had visited here when the employees were all her mother’s subordinates and had treated her kindly.

But now, after so many years, the old guards were long gone, and the current staff were all recruited by Shen Mei. They might not all be Shen Mei’s confidants, but at the very least, they weren’t people she trusted.

Take Yan Zexiong, for example, he had a mysterious and unpredictable demeanor. Who knew if he was a friend or foe?

However, she had only taken over the company recently, and with Ding Ding’s illness, she had to make do for now.

In the seductive and luxurious private room,

When Shen Ning and Yan Zexiong arrived, the PR manager had already ordered a sumptuous banquet.

Seated at the head of the table was a middle-aged man with a gold-rimmed glasses, a protruding forehead, and a potbelly. As soon as Shen Ning entered, his eyes lit up, and he fixed his gaze directly on her.

“Ms. Shen, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lai Hongyu, Vice President of the American Innovation Company, and a Chinese-American,” the PR manager, Ji Hongmei, immediately introduced Lai Hongyu to Shen Ning with a smile.

“Mr. Lai, hello, and welcome.”

Shen Ning displayed a reserved and graceful smile and extended her hand to him.

“Mr. Lai, this is Ms. Shen, our legal representative at Gu Qi,” Ji Hongmei introduced Shen Ning to Lai Hongyu.

“Ms. Shen, hello, hello.”

Lai Hongyu immediately reached out his large hand and firmly shook Shen Ning’s small hand. His small eyes sparkled with admiration.

“Ms. Shen, you’re truly a beauty, intelligent and elegant. One of the most beautiful Asian women I’ve ever seen,” he praised with enthusiasm.

While speaking, he held Shen Ning’s hand tightly and even rubbed it forcefully.

Shen Ning’s smile froze on her face, and a sense of disgust welled up within her.

“Oh, not at all,” she forced a weak smile and pulled her hand back with determination.

Lai Hongyu courteously pulled out her chair and made a gentlemanly gesture. “Miss Shen, please have a seat.”

Shen Ning hesitated but finally took her seat, feeling incredibly uncomfortable, as if sitting on pins and needles.

It was clear that Lai Hongyu was an adept at socializing, not easy to deal with.

While she was pondering, Yan Zexiong and Ji Hongmei began to take turns toasting.

Lai Hongyu was in high spirits, welcoming each guest with enthusiasm.

Shen Ning had planned to wait until Lai Hongyu had drunk enough and then make a token toast before leaving. However, Lai Hongyu had an astonishing tolerance for alcohol. After a few drinks, his enthusiasm soared, and his amber eyes kept fixating on Shen Ning, flashing with a wolf-like glint.

Shen Ning’s heart sank.

She wasn’t much of a drinker in normal circumstances, and facing someone as experienced as Lai Hongyu, she felt out of her depth.

“Ms. Shen, a young and beautiful woman like you, with ambition and a good drinking capacity, is truly a rare find,” Lai Hongyu leaned closer to her, raising a glass of white wine and flattering her, “To express my admiration, let me offer you a toast.”

Shen Ning reluctantly picked up her glass and clinked it with his, exchanging polite words before downing the drink under his watchful gaze.

As the alcohol entered her stomach, she felt like it was burning like fire..
