Of course, Qi Ning couldn't possibly try to persuade Fu Jinnan to stay, nor could she ask him not to move out; otherwise, what would that look like?

She quickly looked away and continued with her work.

For some reason, Fu Jinnan felt a little uncomfortable looking at Qi Ning's indifferent attitude.

But then I thought, why should he feel uncomfortable? Isn't Qi Ning's attitude normal?

No normal girl would want to be alone in a room with a strange man.

If this gets out, it won't be good for her.

Needless to say, given their relationship, they need to be even more careful to avoid suspicion.

If it weren't for this unexpected incident and the lack of rooms, they would never have been able to live together.

Fu Jinnan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

He wanted to get some fresh air, so he picked up the cigarette pack on the table, got up, and went to the balcony.

He rarely smokes, only occasionally when he's tired or in a bad mood.

Qi Ning watched as Fu Jinnan stood on the balcony with his back to her, lit a cigarette, and rested his arm on the balcony railing, seemingly lost in thought.

She observed for a moment and judged that Fu Jinnan would need time to smoke and wouldn't come in anytime soon, so she quietly stood up.

Qi Ning certainly wouldn't openly try to keep Fu Jinnan, but that doesn't mean she'd do nothing.

They stayed together during their business trip, but Qi Ning didn't forget her mission of conquering the world.

It's the last night, I have to do something.

She went to the second bedroom where Fu Jinnan lived, walked to the desk, and flipped through the documents on it.

In addition to his position within the Fu Group, Fu Jinnan also co-founded a company, essentially holding two positions.

These past few days, Fu Jinnan and she have often been in the same space. He is not very guarded around her and does not hide his phone calls from her.

Therefore, she knew that Fu Jinnan was busy with other work besides the resort area these past few days.

Qi Ning searched through the pile of documents and found one of them.

Yes, that's it.

After Fu Jinnan returns to Beijing tomorrow, he will be attending a meeting in the afternoon, where this document will be required.

Qi Ning took out the document, quietly left Fu Jinnan's room, and returned to her own master bedroom.

She needed to find a place to temporarily hide the document.

Fu Jinnan stood outside on the balcony for a while, then subconsciously turned around and glanced at the spot in the living room where Qi Ning was sitting.

Somewhat surprisingly, that seat was empty; Qi Ning wasn't there.

Only her computer and a bunch of files were there.

However, Fu Jinnan didn't think much of it; it was normal for Qi Ning to go back to her room or to the bathroom.

He belatedly realized something was strange: why had he suddenly turned back to look at her? It was a completely subconscious action.

Fu Jinnan exhaled a puff of smoke, stubbed out his cigarette, and went inside from the balcony.

When he entered the living room, Qi Ning had just come out of her room, and the two bumped into each other.

Qi Ning remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

Instead, she asked Fu Jinnan, "Uncle, what's wrong? You look strange."

"Have it?"

Fu Jinnan actually felt a little guilty.

He quickly adjusted his expression.

“A little,” Qi Ning said seriously.

Before Fu Jinnan could explain, the doorbell rang.

He breathed a sigh of relief and went to open the door.

It's Secretary Yang.

"Mr. Fu, let me help you pack your things. The suite is right across the street and it's already been cleaned."

Fu Jinnan nodded slightly and stepped aside to let him in: "Go ahead."

With permission, Secretary Yang came in and helped Fu Jinnan pack his things.

He first tidied up Fu Jinnan's computer and documents in the living room, and then went into the second bedroom to tidy up the documents on the desk, as well as Fu Jinnan's clothes and other items.

Aside from responding to Secretary Yang's greeting at the beginning, Qi Ning sat aside and busied herself with her own affairs the rest of the time, letting Secretary Yang tidy up, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.

After packing, Secretary Yang took her things to the suite across the street.

Fu Jinnan stood there, looking at Qi Ning.

"Then I'll go there first."

"Okay." Qi Ning looked up and said with a smile, "Remember to wait for me when we go to the banquet later."

Fu Jinnan responded calmly and left for the suite across the street.

After watching Fu Jinnan and Secretary Yang leave, Qi Ning hummed a song as she got up and went back to her room. She took out the hidden document and put it back on the desk in the second bedroom.

However, she placed the document in a corner and covered it with other things on her desk.

In this way, it becomes less obvious.

When Fu Jinnan later discovered the document was missing, he would only assume that he had placed it in an inconspicuous spot and that Secretary Yang had forgotten to take it when she was tidying up.

However, this might be unfair to poor Secretary Yang.

Qi Ning stood in front of the desk and thought for a moment. Given Fu Jinnan's personality, he would definitely not blame Secretary Yang for such a small matter. He just didn't know if Secretary Yang's salary would be deducted.

It seems we need to find a way to get some benefits for Secretary Yang.

Qi Ning put the documents away and quickly returned to her room.

She needs to dress up and change into a gown for the banquet.

Tonight's banquet will not be held at the hotel where they are staying, but in another banquet hall.

About half an hour later, Secretary Yang came and knocked on the door.

He said from outside the door, "President Qi, it's almost time. We should head to the banquet hall. President Fu asked me to come and remind you to leave together."

Qi Ning had already gotten ready. She changed into a clean, neat, elegant, and playful dress that suited her status and age without appearing too old-fashioned.

She opened the door and went out, only to find Secretary Yang waiting outside.

"President Qi, you're ready so quickly?" Secretary Yang said with some surprise. "Our President Fu asked me to come over and remind you. He'll be done soon."

"I'm not in a hurry, I can wait."

Qi Ning looked at him with a smile: "Secretary Yang, you've really worked hard these past few days. If you weren't President Fu's right-hand man, I would have wanted to steal you away and poach you from him."

Secretary Yang was flattered by Qi Ning's sudden remark.

He smiled modestly and said, "President Qi, you flatter me. It's all my duty. You and Secretary Hao have helped me a lot these past few days. For example, Secretary Hao is arranging a car right now. We cooperate and work together."

Qi Ning nodded: "Secretary Hao has certainly performed well these past few days, and I will definitely give her a bonus. You have also worked very hard these past few days. It seems I need to talk to your CEO Fu and ask him to give you a bigger bonus as well."
