Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

As the major benefactor, Gong Xiaochen was naturally invited to the front. Today, he was wearing a gray suit, his posture was as upright as a pine tree, and he exuded a cold and noble temperament as he walked.

The Yuming Mountain Villa project had actually already been decided internally.

The so-called negotiations were just a formality.

When Ba Wen left Qingshan Capital in the morning, he had already prepared all the materials and contracts needed for the signing and handed them over to Wen Shengsheng for safekeeping.

Wen Shengsheng carefully protected the documents and followed behind the others.

On her way to the office, Zhu Lin quietly approached.

"Wearing a suit and pretending to negotiate, does that mean you've transformed from a crow into a phoenix?" She scoffed. "Deep down, you still have that poor, shabby smell."

Wen Shengsheng frowned and looked at her.

This Zhu Lin, she can't stand not causing trouble, can she!

"You'd better behave yourself today." Wen Shengsheng glanced at her. "No matter how poor I am, I'm still your client!"

Zhu Lin almost burst out laughing. "Who do you think you are, some kind of lousy client? You're just a lapdog following Gong Xiaochen around. Do you really think you've risen in status?"

"What are you saying?" Wen Shengsheng sneered. "Aren't you a lapdog just because you follow Li Wanqiu around all day? At least Gong Xiaochen is handsome and rich, and he pays me a salary every month. I'm not losing out as a lapdog!"

The best way to deal with an enemy is to counter their moves and never let them expect your next move.

Sure enough, Wen Shengsheng suddenly became shameless.

Zhu Lin was momentarily speechless, unable to think of a retort.

Just then, they arrived at the conference room. Wen Shengsheng carefully protected the documents in her hands, intentionally keeping a distance from Zhu Lin, and stepped into the conference room.

At a conference table that is several meters long, people sit on either side of the table and the meeting begins.

Ba Wen was the senior investment manager in charge of the entire project, so he naturally gave the initial presentation, while Wen Shengsheng was responsible for helping Ba Wen prepare the necessary materials.

All the terms in the contract had been discussed with Lu Jie, so the entire meeting went very smoothly.

During halftime, several waiters came over to serve tea.

Wen Shengsheng was drinking tea when a waiter suddenly came over and called her name.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Wen Shengsheng?"

"Is there something you need?" Wen Shengsheng nodded.

"A gentleman is at the entrance of the resort, saying he needs to speak with you."

"Sir?" Wen Shengsheng asked suspiciously. "Do you know his name?"

The waiter shook his head. "He said he's your boyfriend, and he seemed quite anxious, asking you to come over quickly."

Everyone was resting, and the meeting room was quite quiet.

The waiter's words seemed particularly abrupt at that moment.

Lu Jie, Xi Yu, and Gong Xiaochen all looked over at Wen Shengsheng upon hearing this voice.

Ba Wen, standing right next to Wen Shengsheng, nodded seriously. "Doesn't sound like Li Chuan. Could it be that Brother Juhao came to see you?"

"Go on, it's break time now anyway. Remember not to linger too long, and be back within fifteen minutes."

Hearing Bavin's teasing, the managers and leaders present all laughed.

Wen Shengsheng blushed deeply.

Suddenly, she felt several sharp gazes fall upon her.

Brother Period definitely won't come looking for her right now!

She frowned and handed the contract, which she had been carefully guarding, to Bavin for management.

Then I followed the waiter toward the entrance of the resort.

Gong Xiaochen gave Chen Ze a wink, and Chen Ze immediately followed.

When we arrived at the entrance of the villa, it was empty.

Wen Shengsheng looked at the waiter suspiciously.

"Strange, where is he?" The waiter also looked puzzled. "I'm not lying, he was a man in his thirties or forties, tall and strong."

Wen Shengsheng quickly thought that the waiter couldn't have been lying to her since he had personally brought her here.

There must really be someone calling her that.

But why call her? She's at work right now, why choose this time?

Work?

Wen Shengsheng shuddered!

contract!

Without a second thought, she quickly returned to the conference room, only to find that everyone had already rested enough and was preparing to return to their seats.

But Bavin is gone!

The contract on the table is gone too!

Wen Shengsheng searched around for a while before seeing Ba Wen slowly returning from outside.

She walked up quickly and asked, "Where have you been? Where's the contract?"

"I went to the restroom. The contract is on the table. I can't possibly take it with me to the restroom."

"Where?" Wen Shengsheng grabbed his arm and walked towards the table.

Bavin was stunned for a moment when he saw the empty table.

"Where's the contract!?"

Upon hearing his words, Wen Shengsheng's face turned pale, and her body felt several degrees cold.

Sure enough, someone had deliberately lured her away.

Although it was Bavin who lost the contract, she was the person mainly responsible for the paperwork during this meeting. If the contract is missing when it's time to sign it later...

She was the only one who failed in her duty!

Wen Shengsheng's sharp eyes immediately swept across the crowd.

Right here in this conference room, someone is deliberately trying to harm her!

This was the first project she was responsible for following up on, and it absolutely could not go wrong.

"Don't make a fuss yet. Look around the conference room again. I'll go find someone to help."

After giving Ba Wen a brief instruction, Wen Shengsheng walked straight towards Lu Jie, who was talking with Gong Xiaochen, Xi Yu, and Li Wanqiu.

"Mr. Lu, I need to talk to you about something. Would you mind if we went outside to discuss it?"

The moment she appeared, several pairs of eyes fell on her at the same time.

Lu Jie hadn't seen Wen Shengsheng for a long time. When he saw her come to him today, he immediately smiled brightly and even straightened his suit.

"Of course, Sheng Sheng..."

"Okay, okay..." Before he could finish his nonsense, Wen Shengsheng grabbed his arm and walked outside.

The remaining three followed suit.

“Sheng Sheng, this is also…” Li Wanqiu glanced at Gong Xiaochen, “Young Master Gong, please don’t mind, Sheng Sheng and Young Master Lu are just good friends, they probably have something to say to each other.”

"Miss Li, you seem to know so much. Do you often whisper to people like this?" Gong Xiaochen glanced at her, then turned and looked towards the conference room door.

Li Wanqiu was rebuffed and looked at Xi Yu with a wronged expression, only to see that Xi Yu was also looking at the conference room door.

She immediately gripped the teacup in her hand, her gaze turning resentful and bitter.

"What's wrong, Sheng Sheng? Why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Jie smiled warmly, his eyes shining as he looked at Wen Sheng Sheng.

"The contract is lost, just now!"

"It's right here, in the conference room of your Jade Tea Manor," Wen Shengsheng said, pointing towards the conference room.

The smile on Lu Jie's face vanished inch by inch, replaced by shock.
