On the US side.

　　While it is not time to return home yet, Ji Xiangnian is dealing with documents that his subordinates cannot handle.

　　Ji Xiangnian has always been serious and meticulous about his work, yet also calm and at ease.

　　The assistant stood by, waiting for him to process the documents. Seeing Ji Xiangnian working so seriously, he felt deeply moved.

　　There are some things that Mr. Gu has been unable to make a decision on, but in this man’s hands, he can evaluate the benefits and subsequent profits of some of the things in it after reading it once, and make the best decision in a few minutes.

　　As someone who has been working with this man since graduation.

　　To be honest, the assistant admires Ji Xiangnian very much.

　　Thinking of this, the assistant suddenly recalled the past few years.

　　He remembered that when he graduated from college, this man was still a college student in his twenties.

　　All the power in his hands was usurped by his uncles and brothers, and there was not much he could do.

　　But even though he didn’t have much power, he managed to save the Ji family’s business several times when the shareholders’ actions pushed the company to the brink of death.

　　In the next few years, he used tough means to gradually seize all the rights to the Ji family’s business from those people.

　　Being able to snatch Ji’s business from those jackals and tigers shows that he has a shrewd mind, tolerance, and skills that are unmatched by ordinary people. Of course, he also has a very keen sense of the market trend.

　　A few years ago, some of the companies they invested in Africa encountered political d’état^[1]a sudden and illegal seizure of power, especially a government, by a small group, often with military force in those countries. Many of them withdrew their companies from there and gave up the high-quality and scarce resources there.

　　But this man did the opposite. Not only did he not withdraw, he also acquired several resource companies.

　　Sure enough, he was right. The coup over there was suppressed within a few months, and then there happened to be foreign sanctions on some scarce resources in the country.

　　As luck would have it, there happened to be several resources that their company had invested in.

　　Now their resource company is growing stronger day by day.

　　If it weren’t for this man’s extraordinary courage and decisive decision-making ability, Ji family would not have the status it has today.

　　This is also the reason why I have not left here for so many years. On the one hand, it is because the salary is relatively high, and on the other hand, it is because I feel that I can learn a lot from this person.

　　In fact, sometimes he wondered whether such a person had any weaknesses, but it seemed that there were none.

　　Family? Ji Xiangyi, Ji Xiangchen and the others? His weak spot is his family.

　　But it doesn’t seem right. To Ji Xiangyi and the others, he is more strict and helpless. It can’t be said that they are his weak spot, okay.

　　He felt that this man might remain high and mighty all his life, and no one could pull him down from the altar.

　　If that day really comes, he will definitely go over to watch.

　　At the moment when the assistant was in deep thought, Ji Xiangnian’s cell phone, which was placed on the table not far away, rang. He was closer to the phone, so he went over and picked it up.

　　I saw two big words “Xiang Yi” on the caller ID.

　　The assistant was a little shocked. Ji Xiangyi actually called his boss!!!

　　What on earth is going on in this world! First, their boss married a beautiful wife who is a dozen years younger than him, and then Ji Xiangyi called their boss!

　　It’s common knowledge that the boss’s sister and his two brothers dislike him.

　　If they need to find their boss urgently, they would rather call him and let him notify them instead of calling the boss.

　　As far as he could remember, he had never seen his boss receive a call from his family.

　　Sometimes he even wondered if they had a grudge against each other in their previous life and were born in the same family to torture each other in this life.

　　”Who got the phone call?” The man’s deep voice brought the assistant back to reality.

　　The assistant’s tone was a little excited: “Director Ji, it’s Ms. Ji calling.”

　　Ji Xiangnian wondered if he had heard it wrong. Did Xiang Yi call him? He asked uncertainly, “It’s Xiang Yi’s call?”

　　The assistant nodded excitedly: “It’s her.”

　　Hearing this, Ji Xiangnian didn’t know how to describe his mood. The three of them had never called him before. If there was anything, they would go directly to the assistant, and the assistant would contact him.

　　As their older brother, when faced with such a situation, he sometimes doubted whether he was an incompetent brother.

　　But now…

　　Does it mean that his relationship with the three of them is gradually getting better?

　　Ji Xiangnian’s expression became visibly happy. He immediately put down the pen in his hand and answered the phone with a different tone of voice: “Hello, Xiangyi.”

　　What’s even more rare is that a voice came from the other end of the phone: Brother.

　　Ji Xiangnian felt touched when he heard her call him brother.

　　But the next second, Ji Xiangyi’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone: “My sister-in-law is in trouble now, and someone is bullying her. I hope you can solve it well.

　　”If I hadn’t been here, who knows how she would have been bullied by others?”

　　”Tsk, you’ve only been married for a few days and you’ve already abandoned your new wife to go to work. You don’t even care about your own wife. Can you be of some use instead of just working every day?”

　　Ji Xiangnian, who was just touched for a second, said: “???”

　　Confused and bewildered, Ji Xiangnian quickly grasped the key words: sister-in-law? Wife?

　　It was Fang Ning, but what happened to Fang Ning, and why was she with Ji Xiangyi?

　　He didn’t understand again.

　　”Did something happen? What happened to Fang Ning?”

　　Ji Xiangyi on the other end of the phone was quite impatient: “I’ll give the phone to my sister-in-law and let her talk.”

　　———

　　In fact, Fang Ning was quite embarrassed. She never expected that Ji Xiangyi would call Ji Xiangnian.

　　She just wanted to borrow Ji Xiangyi’s identity to bully others!

　　How could Ji Xiangnian be alarmed? She felt overwhelmed.

　　She and Ji Xiangnian were just contractual couples. There was no reason for Ji Xiangnian to help her, and now she even called him!

　　Now it’s all over, it’s going to flip over!

　　Now that so many eyes were watching, Fang Ning had no choice but to go on with the scene.

　　Fang Ning took the phone from Ji Xiangyi, thought for a moment, and said softly: “Sorry to bother you.”

　　Ji Xiangyi noticed that Fang Ning was still very cautious and respectful when talking to Ji Xiangnian, which made her feel even more unhappy with Ji Xiangnian.

　　Ji Xiangnian did not fulfill his responsibilities as a brother to them, and the same went for Fang Ning!

　　It’s okay for them, but Fang Ning is the wife he married with a formal marriage certificate, the one he will spend the rest of his life with.

　　Marrying someone but not fulfilling your responsibilities as a husband, what’s the difference between him and a scumbag?

　　No, there is still a difference. At least the scumbag will use all kinds of tricks to coax people, while Ji Xiangnian did nothing.

　　It’s even worse than a scumbag.

　　So, what exactly did Fang Ning see in Ji Xiangnian?

　　The two protagonists who were talking on the phone had no idea of ​​Ji Xiangyi’s thoughts.

　　Ji Xiangnian was asking Fang Ning what had happened.

　　Listening to the low voice on the phone, Fang Ning slowly explained the matter. Finally, she explained: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you. I will handle this matter myself.”

　　There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then the man’s steady voice came over: “Solve it, how do you want to solve it yourself? You have no power and no money, how are you going to solve it? Why fight with him?”

　　”Fang Ning, we’re married, and although we don’t have any feelings for each other, you don’t have to be so polite to me about these little things. Give the phone to your boss, and I’ll take care of this matter.”

　　Since Ji Xiangnian had said so, Fang Ning did not continue to refuse. They were all adults, and it would be hypocritical to refuse further. She said decisively: “Okay, thank you in advance.”

　　The boss of the agency saw Fang Ning put the phone away from her ear and thought the matter was over, so he quickly asked, “Ms. Fang, what did Director Ji say?”

　　Fang Ning didn’t say anything, but handed the phone to the boss.

　　Looking at the phone handed over, the boss immediately understood that this meant to settle accounts with him. He carefully took the phone from Fang Ning and said respectfully: “Director Ji……”

　　”Okay, okay, boss, I understand…”

　　”Don’t worry, I will definitely give you and your wife an explanation about this matter…”

　　The phone doesn’t have a speaker, so even if some people try hard to hear the sound clearly, it’s still difficult to hear.

　　When Yu Qin heard this, his face turned pale. He knew that his good days were coming to an end. He never dreamed that Fang Ning would marry such a big shot. He had miscalculated.

　　The boss finished the conversation quickly and handed the phone to Fang Ning. Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian had nothing to talk about. It was Ji Xiangnian who said, “Things have been arranged. Don’t worry, they will do a good job. Give the phone to Xiang Yi. I want to talk to her.”

　　Fang Ning nodded: “Well, thank you. OK, I’ll give the phone to Xiang Yi.”

　　After finishing speaking, Fang Ning handed the phone to Ji Xiangyi and explained: “Your brother wants to talk to you.”

　　Ji Xiangyi is now extremely unhappy with Ji Xiangnian. Just now, because of Ji Xiangnian, she was reminded of the scumbag Zhao Cheng, and also of the pile of things that Ji Xiangnian left for her when he went abroad.

　　If it wasn’t for Fang Ning’s matter, she didn’t want to say a word to Ji Xiangnian.

　　Ji Xiangyi took the phone and cut off the call directly: “I have nothing to say to him.”

　　What’s the point of talking to a scumbag? It’s unlucky.

　　Fang Ning: “…………”

　　She was very curious whether there was any grudge between the brothers and sisters.

　　They were enemies in their previous life, and in this life they were reborn into a family where they loved and hated each other. No, they didn’t love each other, but they did hate each other, and they were very sharp-tongued.

　　The final finishing touches were handed over to the boss of the agency. Now that this has happened, if I continue to stay, I will definitely attract a lot of attention.

　　Fang Ning didn’t have the heart to stay here any longer, and being watched by people.

　　Ji Xiangyi didn’t want to stay any longer in the first place, and this incident gave her an excuse to leave.

　　So the two of them decided to go back together.

　　When Fang Ning left, she did not forget to kill Yu Qin and gave him a very sweet smile: “Mr. Yu, remember this next time. It is not good to be too mean. It is easy to fail.”

　　”I’m going back now. Good luck to you. Bye.”

　　Yu Qin’s teeth were about to break. He really wanted to tear her mouth apart. Even if he couldn’t tear it apart, he wanted to avenge himself one day.

　　But he no longer had that chance.

　　The boss of the agency looked coldly at Yu Qin and his followers. He said with a dark face, “Yu Qin, and you guys, pack up your things and go back today.”

　　Yu Qin panicked, he was about to get a promotion and a raise in salary, but it was gone. Besides, the salary here was quite high, which could support his high consumption and his recent new addiction.

　　He didn’t want to lose this job, so he begged: “Boss, boss, I know I was wrong this time, please give me another chance.”

　　”Boss, just consider that I have worked in the company for so many years.”

　　”Give me a chance, please.”

　　The boss had just been scolded by Ji Xiangnian and was feeling annoyed. If it weren’t for Yu Qin, he wouldn’t have been scolded. Now Yu Qin even had the nerve to beg him. He didn’t care whether he was a high-level relative or a low-level relative.

　　Anyway, it’s because he himself was told by the boss above.

　　If he really dared to keep this person, how would he face the Ji family in the future?

　　They are the major shareholders of their company, the big moneybags! Whether we eat or drink porridge depends on them!

　　After all, he was a relative of a senior executive of the company, so he couldn’t say anything too harsh: “Yu Qin, pack up and leave. You should contact the finance department directly to get the compensation you deserve. The same goes for the rest of you.”

　　The anniversary party hasn’t ended yet and he still has things to deal with over there.

　　So, after saying this, he left.

　　As soon as the boss and the senior executives left, the people nearby couldn’t help but start to murmur.

　　”Oh my god, so Fang Ning really married into a wealthy family.”

　　”Yu Qin probably can’t stay in this company this time.”

　　”He deserves it, why spread rumors about a girl. Why should we sympathize with him?”

　　”I know the head of the Ji Group! There was a photo of him in a magazine before.”

　　”What do you think? Is he pretty or not?”

　　”He’s handsome, very impressive, very handsome, really, I’m so envious.”

　　Of course, some people are envious and some are jealous.

　　”Tsk tsk tsk, I don’t know what kind of shit luck Fang Ning had to marry into the Ji family.”

　　”That’s right, it turns out that rich people have weird tastes.”

　　”There are a lot of people like Fang Ning on the street. Wait, what do you think? Could it be that Fang Ning took the initiative to pay for it?”

　　”Who knows, why don’t you give it a try? Maybe you can find a rich man too.”

　　The person who was scolded had a look of disdain on his face: “I will never do such a shameful thing.”

　　”Okay, okay, you are the most noble one…”

　　”Alright, alright, stop arguing and eat. I heard the boss invited Jiejie to come over and sing!”

　　”Is it true or false…”

　　Gradually, the topic that was just about Fang Ning was gradually brought to other people’s topics.

　　————

　　On Ji Xiangnian’s side, looking at the hung up phone, he lowered his eyes, a hint of confusion flashed across his usually calm face, his eyes no longer had the coldness of the past, he fell into endless contemplation, and even had some doubts about his life.

　　If I have to describe it in one sentence, the assistant thinks it is: the boss who was high up and making all the decisions was pulled down from the altar.

　　The assistant was curious about what Ji Xiangyi said that made this man who usually managed everything suddenly doubt his life.

　　The assistant boldly asked: “Mr. Ji, what’s the matter? Did something happen to Ms. Ji?”

　　Ji Xiangnian’s eyes looked empty, and he shook his head slightly: “It’s a small matter, it’s been resolved.”

　　The assistant didn’t understand. Since the matter had been resolved, why was he so depressed? “Since the matter has been resolved, what are you doing, boss?”

　　Ji Xiangnian was lost in thought, and said slowly, as if he had been troubled for a long time, “I was wondering, when did Fang Ning become so popular? What is her charm?”

　　He thought his sister called to see him, and he was happy for a moment, but he didn’t expect it was for Fang Ning. What charm did she have that he didn’t have that made his sister stand on her side?

　　If possible, he would like to learn from Fang Ning.

　　The assistant was speechless about this question: “…………”

　　You have already obtained a marriage certificate with someone and yet you still ask this kind of question!

　　There is a reason why the boss has been single for so many years! Now ask this kind of question! Do you want to be such a scumbag!

　　No, no, no, the issue of being single for so many years doesn’t matter anymore. He is really afraid that his boss can’t even keep his marriage.

　　He has it so hard, not only does he have to worry about his boss’s work problems, but he also has to worry about his emotional problems.

　　It’s really difficult for him.

　　After struggling for a while, Ji Xiangnian seemed to no longer want to struggle. He tapped the table with his bony fingers. After a moment, he looked up with a calm look in his eyes: “Give me the documents that Gu Ming has been piling up and not processing these days.”

　　The assistant didn’t understand why he suddenly said this: “Boss, why are you so anxious all of a sudden?”

　　Ji Xiangnian was flipping through a new document, and without even raising his eyes, he said, “I’ll return home once I’m done with it.”

　　I have stayed in the United States for too long, and too many things have happened in China during this period. It is time to go back. If I don’t go back, my family will be in turmoil.

　　———

　　Fang Ning brought a driver from Ji’s house, and Ji Xiangyi also brought her driver.

　　Ji Xiangyi also planned to return to the Ji family villa tonight. Fang Ning wanted to thank Ji Xiangyi, so Fang Ning asked the driver to go back first.

　　And she got into Ji Xiangyi’s car.

　　It was reasonable for her to thank Ji Xiangyi. Without her, she would not have been able to complete the last step of slapping his in the face, and she also helped her.

　　The two sat in the back.

　　Because of a lot of things that happened today, Ji Xiangyi was feeling very upset. She felt that the Zhao family seemed determined not to give up until they achieved their goal.

　　Zhao Cheng is easy to get rid of, but his parents are not easy to deal with.

　　She couldn’t think of any way to solve the problem once and for all and quickly.

　　What an annoyance, a bunch of idiots.

　　Because of these things. Ji Xiangyi is very tired now, she lowered her eyes, her cool and cold eyebrows were tired, and there were some dark circles under her eyes.

　　Fang Ning noticed Ji Xiangyi’s emotions. She had never seen Ji Xiangyi like this. She had seen Ji Xiangyi being cold and unkind and arguing with Ji Xiangchen.

　　But now the whole person exudes a strong sense of fatigue, which Fang Ning has never seen before.

　　The atmosphere in the car was a little too quiet.

　　Fang Ning was a talkative person and she felt quite uncomfortable with this kind of atmosphere. Besides, she hadn’t even thanked Ji Xiangyi yet.

　　Facing this atmosphere, Fang Ning took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to Ji Xiangyi, breaking the strangely quiet atmosphere in the car and asked, “Are you okay? What happened?”

　　Ji Xiangyi didn’t want to talk about these things in front of Fang Ning.

　　It would be useless to tell her. Zhao Cheng’s problem could only be solved by herself, and she had already learned to bear it alone. There was no need to drag others down with her troubles.

　　Ji Xiangyi took the water from Fang Ning and frowned: “It’s okay, it’s just a small matter, I can handle it.”

　　Fang Ning didn’t think about trivial matters at all. Her face almost showed, “I have big things to do, I’m very tired, I’m very annoyed.”

　　”If you have something on your mind, don’t hold it in. If you do, you might end up in a bad situation. It will really be better if you speak it out.” Fang Ning blinked.

　　”By the way, thank you for helping me tonight.”

　　The wind from the car window was a little cold, and Ji Xiangyi was a little dazed. She calmly shifted her gaze to Fang Ning.

　　Fang Ning’s pretty face was filled with a smile. When she smiled, her dimples were faintly visible and her eyelashes were curved, making people involuntarily drawn into her happy mood.

　　Facing Fang Ning who was smiling so happily at her, Ji Xiangyi felt a little uncomfortable. She gently looked away without saying a word, with a thoughtful look on her face.

　　After a moment, she said to the two of them calmly: “No need.”

　　This sudden remark made Fang Ning a little confused: “What do you mean by not using it?”

　　Ji Xiangyi explained: “No need to thank you.”

　　At the end, she paused, as if she remembered something, and her tone of voice immediately changed a little, and she said something that made people confused: “Fang Ning, you actually have a very poor vision.”

　　Before she always thought that Ji Xiangnian might never find a wife in his lifetime.

　　But she didn’t expect that a resentful person like Fang Ning would marry Ji Xiangnian. She had really poor vision and she really wanted to complain.

　　Ji Xiangyi was just about to talk about Fang Ning’s vision when a phone call interrupted her thoughts.

　　Seeing that the caller was her assistant, Ji Xiangyi had a bad feeling. As expected, she listened.

　　It’s about Zhao Cheng.

　　”What, they are making trouble in the company now.”

　　…

　　”Okay, you hold on for a while, I’ll rush over now.”

　　After Ji Xiangyi answered the phone,

　　Just at this time, the Ji family villa also arrived.

　　The two got out of the car, and Ji Xiangyi said to Fang Ning: “I still have some things to deal with, so I won’t stay here tonight.”

　　When Fang Ning saw Ji Xiangyi answering the phone, her eyes changed: “What’s the emergency? Do you need help?”

　　Ji Xiangyi shook his head and refused decisively.

　　Since everyone refused, Fang Ning didn’t know what to say, but she still said, “If you have anything, you can call me. We exchanged phone numbers.”

　　Ji Xiangyi paused, and instead of refusing, she slowly said, “Okay.”

　　Of course, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, not just because something unexpected happened to Ji Xiangyi.

　　Something also happened with Ji Xiangzhou.
