Chapter 226 Are you deliberately going against yourself?
At this time, in the ward.
After Gu Huaijing answered the phone, Shen Yunyan immediately apologized: "Huaijing, I'm sorry, I just..."
"Your wedding and I will be held as soon as possible, but before our wedding, I don't want you to call yourself Mrs. Gu."
Shen Yunyan's smile froze, "Okay, Huai Jing. I will pay attention."
She lowered her head obediently, hiding the anger in her eyes.
Gu Huaijing nodded lightly, and suddenly the ward door was pushed open, and his assistants and secretaries rushed to the ward to report their work.
While busy, Gu Huaijing accidentally discovered that the hospital bed next to him was empty.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and gave the assistant a wink.
A few minutes later.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Ning was discharged from the hospital two hours ago." The assistant reported in a lowered voice.
gone?
The corners of Gu Huaijing's eyes twitched, and his expression showed no change: "I know, go and send someone to keep an eye on the movements of Wen and Ning Xi, and report them at any time. Remember, only report to me."
After leaving the hospital, Ning Xi felt instantly relaxed, but the next phone call made her feel heavy.
It was Wang Sen who called just now, saying that the quality of the building materials that Mr. Zhao was responsible for was not up to standard, which caused the progress to slow down and water seepage occurred.
"Stop work!" Ning Xi ordered decisively with a stern expression: "Go and find Mr. Zhao. We must see him immediately!"
When she arrived at the scene, everyone was standing with dejected faces and their heads lowered.
"Mr. Ning, Mr. Zhao, he ran away!" Wang Sen looked down deeply with shame on his face.
Ning Xi took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "Call the police, check his nearest contact person, and the materials on the construction site need to be replaced immediately."
After everyone left, Wang Sen stepped forward and reported in a lowered voice: "Mr. Ning, I found that Mr. Zhao has been very close to the branch manager Chen Shuo recently. Could it be him?"
Ning Xi thought of Chen Shuo's seemingly respectful face and frowned: "You are responsible for following up on this matter, but be careful not to alert the enemy."
That night, Ning Xi didn't sleep well. This bidding meeting seemed calm, but in fact, it contained a mystery.
Tomorrow is the last day of the auction, and several important patents will appear. She doesn't want to miss the opportunity.
In order to seize the opportunity, Ning Xi arrived at the venue early, but to her surprise, Gu Huaijing also arrived early.
He refused Shen Yunyan's support and leaned on a metal cane, trying his best to walk as usual.
The moment their eyes met, Ning Xi only glanced away slightly.
Ning Zhiyuan, who was accompanied by several seniors in the scientific community, suddenly saw Ning Xi and his brows were filled with joy.
He left the people around him and walked over quickly: "Xiao Xi, I heard that you had an accident on the construction site, are you okay now?"
"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Ning Zhiyuan's unabashed concern made Ning Xi feel warm in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao Xi, there are several items you should pay attention to in this bidding."
As he spoke, he held Ning Xi's hand, and in an instant, a small note was stuffed into his hand.
Ning Xi smiled understandingly, but before she could reply, a whirring voice sounded behind her: "Xiao Xi! You are finally here, and your trip to the hospital was in vain. I was worried about you to death!"
It was He Zhao's voice. He looked anxiously at Ning Xi up and down, and then relaxed when he saw that she was indeed not injured.
Before the three of them had time to say a few words, the bidding bell rang, and everyone sat down in their seats. Gu Huaijing, who had limited mobility, was last. He glanced at Ning Xi's position, and then slowly sat down.
Shen Yunyan sat down closely behind Gu Huaijing, feeling nervous and complicated...
As soon as Gu Huaijing sat down, she handed over the tablet in her hand: "Huaijing, this is the key item in today's bidding. It is said that Wen's is also very concerned about it. If we can win the core patent of biopharmaceuticals, we can definitely do it. Take the initiative in the market.”
Wen's? Initiative? Gu Huaijing looked at the screen without raising his head.
In his opinion, Shen Yunyan's words were just empty talk. Although Gu's company occupied part of the market in biopharmaceuticals, there was a shortage of key staff in the company, especially experts.
If biopharmaceutical projects are launched rashly, it will only cause a shortage of talents.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Shen Yunyan was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to disturb him, so she had to remain silent.
"Wen's situation is different from ours. If we win biopharmaceuticals, it may not be beneficial to Gu's."
As Gu Huaijing spoke, his eyes subconsciously turned to the seats of Wen's Enterprise, and he couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows at the sight.
Ning Xi sat between He Zhao and Ning Zhiyuan, seeming to attract much attention.
Ning Zhiyuan chatted and laughed with her, and He Zhao was even more attentive. His eyes were fixed on her as if they were attracted by magnets, and he almost served her tea.
Gu Huaijing lowered his eyes in disgust and focused on the bid price, but his mood was unexpectedly a little irritable.
Ning Xi didn't even raise her head. She had noticed Gu Huaijing's little move a long time ago. Not only did she not want to pay attention to it, but she also found it inexplicably funny.
Gu Huaijing, who has always had a high self-esteem and outstanding ability, must not be in a good mood now that he sees himself sitting in the same position as him!
Thinking of Gu Huaijing's deflated look, and recalling the scene when she sadly left the Gu family and only took away her grandfather's jade ring, Ning Xi's eyes became colder.
Several major projects were launched one after another, and the enthusiasm of people bidding became more and more intense.
Ning Xi's focus was on a certain unpopular patent. Although the asking price was not high, most companies did not have the venue to master the core technology, so there was basically no competition for this project.
Soon, she signaled Secretary Zhang to raise a sign to bid.
At her request, Secretary Zhang doubled the price, and the patent was now in Ning Xi's pocket.
But suddenly, Mr. Gu also joined the bidding.
And all of a sudden the price was increased by 20%!
Everyone's attention was instantly focused on the two helmsmen, Wen and Gu.
Shen Yunyan couldn't help but look at Ning Xi, the emotion in her eyes was unclear.
Ning Xi did not hesitate and once again signaled Secretary Zhang to increase the price by 40%.
Forty percent?
Gu Huaijing's expression gradually became serious. Is this woman deliberately going against him?
As expected by Ning Xi, Gu Huaijing increased the price again. Seeing that the price of a low-priced patent doubled in a few minutes.
The atmosphere in the venue was extremely quiet, and you could even hear the sound of a pin dropping.
Everyone is curious about who will win the final result of this bidding between Wen and Gu.
Some people have begun to secretly inquire about the gossip, especially the two senior executives who are handsome men and beautiful women.
"Mr. Ning of the Wen family? Why have I never seen her?" The person who asked the question looked puzzled and curious.
"Don't you know? I just found out," the speaker said in a mysterious tone, "I heard that this Ning Xi is the eldest daughter of the Wen family who recently recognized her ancestors and paid homage to the ancestral hall. She is also the daughter of the Wen family!"
"She is the baby daughter of the famous actor Wen Qingqing? Didn't she always have children out of wedlock? Why is her daughter suddenly so old?"
"Don't worry about it. It's their own business anyway."
The start of a new round of bidding interrupted their conversation, and everyone's attention was once again focused on Ning Xi and Gu Huaijing.
"Mr. Ning, Mr. Gu has already tripled the bid!" Secretary Zhang wiped the sweat from his face and said nervously.
Ning Xi looked calm and suddenly smiled: "Okay, let's give up!"
ah? Secretary Zhang and He Zhao were both dumbfounded!
