Chapter 8 He Is My Younger Brother!

  • When Qi Jie was mentioned, Chen Zitong transformed into a completely different person, crying inconsolably.
  • Ning Beichuan embraced Chen Zitong, comforting her, "Wu Jie, please don't cry. I promise you that I will find her, okay?"
  • Chen Zitong remained silent, holding onto Ning Beichuan tightly, afraid that he would suddenly disappear as well.
  • After a while, Chen Zitong looked up and took out her phone, saying, "I'll call my Big Sister and Third Sister right away and share this good news with them."
  • In reality, the only people she could call at the moment were her Big Sister and Third Sister.
  • "Wait a moment," Ning Beichuan interrupted Chen Zitong's action.
  • "Hmm?"
  • "I want to surprise them."
  • Chen Zitong put down her phone and playfully tapped Ning Beichuan's head, smiling, "You really are a clever little devil."
  • "Alright, I'll invite them over tonight and give you an opportunity to impress them."
  • "Of course."
  • Ning Beichuan smiled.
  • Deep down, he also felt a mix of emotions.
  • As time passed, everyone had moved on with their lives.
  • The once intimate moments now seemed extravagant, and finding a suitable reason to gather again was difficult.
  • But now, he had returned, and everything would be different!
  • Looking at Ning Beichuan in front of her, Chen Zitong grew happier the longer she looked at him. Just as she was about to say something, the phone rang.
  • The caller ID showed it was her assistant.
  • Chen Zitong casually answered, "What's up?"
  • "My Lady, do you still want the order you missed yesterday? Far Mountain Industries, hurry!"
  • The assistant's tone was slightly serious.
  • Oh no!
  • Chen Zitong's heart skipped a beat, almost forgetting about the important matter!
  • She immediately packed up and stood up, answering the phone while opening the door, "I'll go right away!"
  • Caught up in conversation with Ning Beichuan, she had forgotten about the important task.
  • Due to the inspection at the mansion yesterday, she missed a crucial negotiation. Today, she had to make up for it.
  • "Wu Jie, I'll go with you."
  • "You?"
  • Turning her head to look at the empty apartment, Chen Zitong hesitated for a moment. She couldn't bear to leave her younger brother alone at home.
  • In the end, she said, "Alright, but you must listen to me and not wander around."
  • "Okay."
  • The two of them left.
  • Originally, Ning Beichuan wanted Chen Zitong to try out his new car.
  • But Chen Zitong declined. It wasn't that she disliked the car that Ning Beichuan wanted to give her, but the style just didn't suit her.
  • Today was a day of negotiation, and it needed to be formal, not too casual.
  • Chen Zitong drove her Audi A8 and rushed to the law firm to pick up her assistant.
  • The assistant got in the car.
  • When he saw Ning Beichuan sitting in the passenger seat, he was stunned.
  • If he remembered correctly.
  • This guy was a murderer!
  • Yesterday, he was even confronted by Ding Shengji in the old city area on North Street!
  • And now he dared to be here, alive and well!
  • To be honest, he admired Ning Beichuan's courage to not fear death.
  • But Chen Zitong had a bright future, and having someone like him mixed in would eventually ruin it!
  • With this in mind.
  • The assistant asked, "Why is he here?"
  • "Zitong, you must understand that today's negotiation is crucial. If it is ruined by someone irrelevant, it will not be worth it."
  • The assistant spoke earnestly, feeling extremely worried.
  • "He is my younger brother."
  • Chen Zitong emphasized each word, looking directly at the assistant, "Wu Cheng, if you don't like it, you can leave. I won't stop you."
  • "And don't call me Zitong, we're not that close."
  • She had absolute confidence in the negotiation and wouldn't be swayed by external forces.
  • Upon hearing Chen Zitong's words, Wu Cheng's face immediately turned ugly.
  • A long time ago, he regarded Chen Zitong as his possession and was willing to assist her in any way.
  • But Ning Beichuan, this suddenly appeared younger brother, caught him off guard and became a huge threat.
  • Thinking of this, Wu Cheng felt uncomfortable all over.
  • He said with a serious tone, "Lawyer Chen, this guy is not suitable to be with us. He is a murderer!"
  • "My brother is not a murderer!"
  • Chen Zitong's eyes turned red, and she slammed on the brakes.
  • Bang!
  • Wu Cheng lost his balance and hit the car window, making a dull sound.
  • Wu Cheng gritted his teeth, clutching his head and convulsing.
  • Ning Beichuan glanced at him lightly, then turned to Chen Zitong and said, "If he's really not suitable, forget it."
  • "Stop talking nonsense, I said he's suitable."
  • He was just a person, and she had confidence in her abilities.
  • To be frank, Wu Cheng was truly dispensable to her.
  • "Lawyer Chen, don't let emotions cloud your judgment!"
  • Wu Cheng gritted his teeth and stared at Ning Beichuan, wishing to tear him apart!
  • "Am I talking to my fifth sister? Do you have the right to interrupt?"
  • Ning Beichuan was already annoyed when a stranger got into his fifth sister's car.
  • But he wasn't an unreasonable person, and this guy was being annoying, and his gaze towards Chen Zitong made him uncomfortable.
  • "Hmph."
  • Wu Cheng sneered.
  • He looked at Ning Beichuan with a cold gaze and said:
  • "What do you think you are? Do you think you're worthy of following Lawyer Chen? Without me, this deal wouldn't have been signed today!"
  • "Get out of the car!"
  • "Wu Cheng, I told you to get out of the car!"
  • Chen Zitong angrily pointed at Wu Cheng, not giving him any face.
  • Insulting her younger brother was not allowed!
  • Bang!
  • Wu Cheng pushed open the car door and got out.
  • Watching the Audi drive away, his eyes were filled with jealousy and rage!
  • Chen Zitong!
  • You despicable person!
  • Without me, who do you think you are!
  • Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.
  • Wu Cheng took out his phone and sent a text message: Notify the senior management of the law firm to gather.
  • He turned around, hailed a car, and drove in the opposite direction.
  • Along the way.
  • Ning Beichuan's gaze was uncomfortable.
  • "Don't misunderstand, he's not my boyfriend."
  • Seeing Ning Beichuan getting angry, Chen Zitong immediately explained.
  • In fact, she couldn't even figure out why she was explaining, but she still did.
  • "Is he worthy?"
  • Ning Beichuan sneered.
  • He didn't care about Wu Cheng at all.
  • Soon, the car stopped.
  • Tall buildings loomed ahead, marking the entrance to the city center.
  • Yuanshan Industries.
  • Situated in the heart of the city's third ring road, it was surrounded by a lush green belt, spanning over ten meters.
  • In a city where every inch of land was precious, this could be considered extravagant!
  • On the third floor, in the reception room, the high-level executives of Yuanshan Industries appeared serious and well-prepared.
  • It was now 8:50, just ten minutes away from the scheduled time!
  • Lawyers from Wutong Law Firm and members of the planning department of Yuanshan Industries were scattered throughout the reception room.
  • Wutong Law Firm was the company where Chen Zitong worked.
  • Wu Xingguo, the head of the planning department, spoke up, "Gentlemen, today's deal will determine the survival or demise of Yuanshan for the next three years."
  • "We can only succeed, failure is not an option!"
  • Liu Changmu, the general manager of Yuanshan Industries, delivered a speech.
  • The cooperation with Dingcheng Group had to be secured today!
  • No one and nothing should be allowed to delay it!
  • The entire reception room was filled with tension, as if swords were drawn and bows were bent.
  • "Where is Lawyer Chen?" Liu Changmu frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed.
  • Yesterday, the deal was almost finalized, but because Chen Zitong failed to show up, the other party felt humiliated and the negotiations fell apart.
  • And now, she was late?
  • "Lawyer Chen is on her way, she will be here soon," one of the law firm's lawyers reassured.
  • "Damn it!"
  • "What does she mean? Is the future of Yuanshan Industries just a joke to her?" Liu Changmu angrily stood up and slammed the table.
  • In an instant, the room fell silent.
  • "Liu, why are you getting angry?"
  • As he spoke, the door swung open.
  • Chen Zitong and Ning Beichuan entered the room.
  • "You despicable scum, you still dare to come?" Liu Changmu grabbed the documents on the table and threw them fiercely at Chen Zitong!
  • Smack!
  • The papers scattered in the air.
  • Ning Beichuan's gaze turned cold, and he stepped forward to shield Chen Zitong. He angrily rebuked Liu Changmu, "Are you looking for trouble?"
  • The papers grazed Ning Beichuan's cheek, leaving traces of blood.
  • In that moment, Ning Beichuan was filled with fury.
  • Insulting his sister in front of him, did they think he was a pushover?
