Chapter 1057 Amazing

Ning Ran received a message from Nan Chen: Jiang Zhe will probably look for you. Ignore him.

Ning Ran was just about to ask Jiang Zhe why he was looking for her. However, before she could even respond to the message, Jiang Zhe's call came through.

Jiang Zhe spoke over the phone. “You should invite Lu Jingyuan over and we'll have a meal together.”

It was then Ning Ran understood why he was looking for her.

Lu Jingyuan's resignation had already been relayed to her. Now, everyone had been mobilized to undertake the challenging task of persuading Lu Jingyuan to stay.

Unexpectedly, the matter ended up in Jiang Zhe's hands in the end.

“Why should I help you?” Ning Ran asked directly, “Lu Jingyuan is my best friend, and I respect her choices.”

“Consider me in your debt,” Jiang Zhe said. “If you ever need my help in the future, I will be at your beck and call.”

“Can I ask you for help for anything?” Ning Ran asked.

“Anything except assassinating Mr. Chen,” said Jiang Zhe.

Ning Ran smiled. “All right. I'll remember that.”

Jiang Zhe was certainly useful as he was a close associate of Nan Chen.

After all, Jiang Zhe knew all the things about Nan Chen that others didn't.

There was no doubt that he would definitely come in handy in the future in Ning Ran's mind.

Ning Ran was ready to lend him a hand.

Lu Jingyuan was deceived into coming by Ning Ran. If Lu Jingyuan knew Jiang Zhe was also here, she would definitely not have come.

Upon seeing Jiang Zhe, she glanced at Ning Ran disdainfully.

Ning Ran pretended not to see it. “I don't think we need introductions. You all are colleagues, after all.”

“We meet again, Ms. Lu,” Jiang Zhe said with a companionable smile.

Lu Jingyuan nodded, greeting him.

In order to win Lu Jingyuan's favor, Jiang Zhe specifically asked Ning Ran about Lu Jingyuan's preferences. He booked a restaurant Lu Jingyuan would like and ordered dishes she enjoyed.

He even opened a bottle of red wine worth tens of thousands. He was really going all out.

Lu Jingyuan and Ning Ran were chatting while eating, discussing topics typical among women. Jiang Zhe couldn't get a word in, nor did he dare to interrupt abruptly.

As things were drawing to a close, Jiang Zhe finally couldn't hold back any longer. “May I interrupt the two of you for a few minutes—”

“No way!” Lu Jingyuan and Ning Ran said in unison.

Jiang Zhe was speechless. If I'm not allowed to speak, then isn't my money spent in vain?

He didn't dare to speak up, so he drank aggrievedly.

“Fine. Seeing how pitiful you look, I'll allow you to say a few words,” Ning Ran said with a smile.

“All Right. Thank you, Mrs. Nan,” Jiang Zhe said with a pleasing smile.

“If you're trying to persuade me to stay, there's no need to speak,” Lu Jingyu said coldly.

Jiang Zhe was so stumped that he couldn't find the right words to speak.

“How about this? Give us three reasons why she should stay. If Jingyuan thinks they're good enough to continue the conversation, then we will. If she thinks all three reasons are nonsense, then you'll have to stop,” Ning Ran said.

Since she did promise Jiang Zhe she would help him, she thought she should at least say a few words in his favor.

Lu Jingyuan didn't object either, saying, “Out with it.”

In her view, even thirty reasons couldn't persuade her.

After some thought, Jiang Zhe said, “Firstly, Ms. Lu is doing an exceptional job at the company. The company has also provided her with a substantial platform and space to showcase her talents. Ms. Lu is a strong and capable woman, able to showcase her talents. It's a fortunate thing for both Ms. Lu and the company.”

That's good. He's starting with the business angle, and he's stating the truth. I can agree with that, but that isn't good enough for me to stay. thought Lu Jingyuan. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Secondly, Mr. Xing is now clamoring to resign and wants to follow Ms. Lu to the capital. Mr. Xing holds a very important position in the company, which, to a certain extent, can alleviate the pressure on Mr. Chen. If he really leaves, it would be a loss for Nan Corporation and a blow to the Nan family. Even for Mr. Chen, this is a very dangerous matter. As you're aware, in such a large conglomerate, it's

impossible for everyone to be loyal. Mr. Chen needs someone like Mr. Xing, a close relative, to help him shoulder the pressure.”

Lu Jingyuan and Ning Ran remained silent.

The point Jiang Zhe made was excellent. If Lu Jingyuan insisted on leaving, the one who would actually be hurt was Nan Chen.

Nanshi Corporation had shown her great kindness, and Ning Ran was still her best friend. Jiang Zhe was implying that, by leaving, she would be hurting many people. He was trying to make her feel guilty.

This was where Jiang Zhe's brilliance lay.

Apologies were useless and begging was futile by that point. Thus, the only thing he could do was to reason with her.

Additionally, it wasn't like he was making it all up. He really hit the nail on the head.

Jiang Zhe continued, “Thirdly, Mr. Xing loves you. We've never seen him take anyone as seriously as he does with you. Can you bear to see him abandon everything for you, affecting the grand scheme of Nanshi Corporation? If Nanshi Corporation falls because of this, the people affected will not be just one. Also, your two children are currently attending the best schools. If you insist on taking them with you, always wandering around, won't it be detrimental to their growth? Ms. Lu, I beg you, please stay. For your own sake and for the sake of so many others.”

He really knows how to reason with logic and move people with emotion. Impressive. Ning Ran turned to look at Lu Jingyuan.

Every word Jiang Zhe said made sense. He had analyzed both the public and private aspects thoroughly.

Ning Ran felt that if she were Lu Jingyuan, she would definitely have been persuaded by Jiang Zhe.

“If Ms. Lu is willing to stay, I will issue an open letter within the corporation tomorrow, offering you my apologies. Then, I will resign so that you won't see me at the company anymore. Out of sight, out of mind,” Jiang Zhe continued.

“Jingyuan, give it some thought,” Ning Ran also chimed in.

Lu Jingyuan also felt that if she didn't agree, it would be too cold-hearted of her.

Feng Wan had apologized, and Nan Xing was also planning to resign.

As such, Lu Jingyuan felt a bit guilty for causing such unease within Nanshi Corporation due to her own affairs.

“All right, let me think about it,” said Lu Jingyuan.

Jiang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, when Lu Jingyuan returned home, she found Nan Xing waiting downstairs, dragging two large suitcases. “What are you up to now?”

“I've packed my things. Let's leave Flower City together,” Nan Xing said.

Suddenly, Lu Jingyuan felt he was really childish. “What are your plans after you arrive in the capital?”

“Nothing much. I'll keep pursuing you until you're mine,” said Nan Xing.

“You're not taking care of Nanshi Corporation or the Nan family anymore?”

Nan Xing shook his head. “For now, no. Let's talk about it later.”

“I don't want you to go with me,” said Lu Jingyuan.

“Well, the capital isn't owned by your family. You don't get to call the shots,” Nan Xing retorted defiantly.

“Then go ahead. I won't go there anymore,” said Lu Jingyuan.

Nan Xing was puzzled. What's going on? Why doesn't she want to go now that I'm prepared to leave with her? “You aren't going back to the capital anymore?”

“I was planning to go back, but the thought of you tagging along really bothers me, so I decided not to. You can go instead. Do you want me to drive you to the airport?” Lu Jingyuan asked seriously.

“I—”

“No? You should take a taxi then. If you run into any trouble in the capital, you can ask my brother for help,” said Lu Jingyuan.

Nan Xing was speechless. If you're not going, then why should I? Do you think I'm out of my mind?
