The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 223 Worry about her

Ning Zhiyuan was sitting closely with several business bosses, his attitude was eager and confident, and he was obviously still at the core. The bosses nodded frequently at his words, like a student meeting a teacher.

Ning Zhiyuan was also calm about this, as if everything was taken for granted.

But what made Ning Xi feel weird was that there was a stranger among them who seemed to be staring at her all the time.

That man was also sitting among the big guys. He seemed to have a stern look in his eyebrows, which was more vivid when he smiled. He didn't speak much and his temperament was a bit gloomy.

Although his appearance was unfamiliar, it always gave Ning Xi a strange illusion.

She always feels like she has seen this person before somewhere...

Ning Xi fell into deep thought and even noticed Mrs. Gu's provocation and He Zhao's defense of herself.

However, He Zhao had always paid attention to her, fearing that Mrs. Gu's words would affect Ning Xi's mood.

The auction conference will be held for three days, and the bidding on the first day was relatively dull. Ning Xi was not surprised by this.

Back at the hotel, after dinner, she was in the room making preparations for tomorrow, when suddenly she saw Secretary Zhang pushing the door open and panting.

"Mr. Ning! Something big happened!"

"What's going on?" Seeing Secretary Zhang's panic, Ning Xi frowned slightly: "Speak slowly, don't be anxious."

"Mr. Ning, as expected, that supplier, Mr. Zhao, not only cheated but also tampered with the core materials of our project! The quality is much worse than required! Look!"

With that said, Secretary Zhang handed the materials to Ning Xi. Ning Xi gasped in shock when she saw it.

If this batch of materials were used, people would probably die!

"Secretary Zhang, prepare a car and go to the construction site immediately!"

Ning Xi didn't have time to say anything, so she grabbed her coat and hurried out.

As soon as they got on the highway, the sky became extremely gloomy, with dark clouds hanging overhead, just as bad as their mood at the moment.

After walking for a while and entering the mountain road, the traffic slowed down significantly, and there was news of traffic jam ahead. In addition, there had been heavy rain in the mountains at night in the past few days, and Ning Xi's heart sank even more.

"Mr. Ning! The road ahead has collapsed!" Secretary Zhang pointed at the crowded crowds and vehicles not far away.

Ning Xi looked over intently and saw that it was indeed a large group of brightly lit people.

"What should we do, Mr. Ning? Why don't we go back first!" Assistant Zhou hurriedly suggested that it would not be worth getting injured in this situation.

"How far is it from the construction site?" Ning Xi asked in a deep voice.

"There are still about three kilometers." Secretary Zhang looked at the navigation and replied: "But Mr. Ning, these are mountainous roads!"

"Get off the car! Let's walk over!" Ning Xi said and reached for the flashlight. Secretary Zhang and Assistant Zhou looked at each other with expressions of surprise and admiration.

Secretary Zhang wanted to say one or two more words of advice, but seeing the unwavering expression on Ning Xi's face, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Leaving the driver behind to guard the vehicle, Ning Xi, Secretary Zhang and others got off the road with flashlights on.

There were several mountain roads hidden in the woods. Ning Xi took the lead, and the others followed behind.

The night wind was blowing, and there was only the sound of rustling footsteps. The farther away from the road, the quieter it seemed.

The mobile phone signal is not good in the mountains, so several people relied on a simple map at hand, but something became more and more wrong the further they walked.

It was originally agreed that everyone should walk together, but they dispersed as they walked. At first, people's voices and footsteps could be heard around them, but later they couldn't hear anything at all.

Ning Xi shouted several times but received no response, so she stopped to analyze the situation.

She heard her grandpa say that the stars in the night sky can guide the way, but now the clouds are so thick that not even a star can be seen.

Although she held on to her spirits, Ning Xi still felt panicky.

Suddenly her foot stumbled and she almost fell.

After finally steadying herself, she marked the tree hill and walked according to the direction of the compass on her mobile phone.

Although the sprained ankle is not serious, it still has some impact after walking for a long time.

The faster Ning Xi tried to walk, the more her feet hurt, and she couldn't help but gasp.

……

But Gu Huaijing, who was far away in the hotel, had no idea about this.

He ate the exquisite dishes in front of him expressionlessly, but his mind couldn't help but think of Ning Xi's smile at the bidding meeting.

"Huaijing, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Shen Yunyan, who was always paying attention to Gu Huaijing's actions, asked hurriedly.

"I have a bad appetite. I don't want to eat." Gu Huaijing put down the chopsticks in his hand, feeling inexplicably blocked.

Seeing his solemn expression, Shen Yunyan did not dare to disturb him and had no choice but to continue eating.

At this time, the assistant came over to report: "Mr. Gu, a mudslide broke out in the mountainous area tonight, and our project may be affected."

Gu Huai Jing's eyebrows raised: "Muds flow? Notify all departments and I will rush over immediately!"

"Don't go!" Mrs. Gu came from the living room, holding a bowl of ginseng tea in her hand.

"It's not safe in the mountains. Just send a few managers there to take charge of the overall situation."

Mrs. Gu spoke in an understatement, and the assistant couldn't help but whisper: "I heard that Mr. Ning from the Wen Group rushed over as soon as possible."

Ning Xi? Gu Huaijing's heart suddenly tightened, how could she get there?

Mrs. Gu slapped the tea cup on the table: "Who is she? Can she be compared with Huai Jing?"

"You mean I'm not as good as her?" Gu Huaijing asked coldly.

Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment: "Of course I didn't mean that..."

"Auntie is worried about your safety, Huai Jing, please don't worry." Shen Yunyan was afraid that Gu Huai Jing would go to Ning Xi, so she hurriedly came out to stop him.

Gu Huaijing strode out of the living room without even looking at her for a second.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu angrily slapped the ginseng tea over.

In a hurry, the driver he found was not familiar with the local mountain roads, and Gu Huaijing took the wrong route after twists and turns.

Looking at the rugged and complicated mountain road, Gu Huaijing's expression turned gloomy.

"Stop the car." The driver watched eagerly as the dignified Mr. Gu got out of the car and climbed up the mountain, not even daring to fart.

But it was difficult to move forward in the mountains just by relying on momentum. Gu Huaijing accidentally fell down as the road was slippery on the uphill slope.

The sharp rock cut a ten centimeter long wound on his leg, which quickly became dripping with blood.

Gu Huaijing endured the severe pain and thought about getting up and moving forward, but he saw a slender and beautiful figure under the big tree not far away.

The other party also saw him and showed hesitation, "Why are you here -"

Gu Huaijing took a deep breath, endured the pain in his legs, and walked slowly over...
