Chapter 785: Huaining Group
Qiao Yu helped Xia Ning put on her shoes. Without another word, he went out as if the shameless person was not him.
Xia Ning closed the bathroom door and could finally take a shower with peace of mind. Seeing the shoes on her feet, she was surprised. She then turned on the shower and closed her eyes, letting the water spill on her face and body.
After the shower, Xia Ning wrapped her hair up and came out.
There was no sign of Qiao Yu in the room. She looked around and was confused. It was so late. Where did he go?!
She wiped her hair and was about to dry her hair with the hairdryer. Just as she got up, Qiao Yu came in with a bowl in his hand.
Seeing her wet hair, Qiao Yu’s face darkened immediately. He walked over and put the bowl on the coffee table. He took the hairdryer from her hand.
“Why are you was.h.i.+ng your hair so late at night?” Qiao Yu frowned and said at the same time.
Xia Ning did not know why he got mad all of a sudden. She answered, “My scalp is a bit itchy. It doesn’t feel comfortable.”
Also, he took the hairdryer from her?!
Qiao Yu heard that and wanted to scold her for not taking care of herself. He also blamed himself for not taking care of her. Otherwise, how could he not know about her menstrual cycle?
“It’s better to not wash your hair when your Aunt Flo comes. Plus, it’s already late,” Qiao Yu said. He turned on the hairdryer and started to dry her hair.
Xia Ning was surprised. So this was why he was not happy just now.
It was probably his first time drying a girl’s hair, so he was not very good at it. It made her scalp hurt.
But Xia Ning felt it was nothing. At this moment, she was actually enjoying the feeling of being cared for.
After drying his hair, Qiao Yu pa.s.sed the bowl of red soup to Xia Ning. “Drink it and sleep.”
“What is this?” Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu with confusion.
Qiao Yu answered, “Brown sugar water.”
Xia Ning saw his expression that was hard to say no to. She nodded and drank it.
So he went to make this when she was showering?! Xia Ning felt that he had given her too many surprises this night.
After drinking the brown sugar water, Xia Ning went back to the bed. That was it. She was a bit tired and fell asleep unknowingly.
When Qiao Yu came out of the shower, he saw Xia Ning asleep.
He lay beside her and held her in his arms carefully. His hand landed on her abdomen and he rubbed it carefully.
The next morning, when Xia Ning woke up, she felt very comfortable. Last night, she felt like someone was rubbing her stomach in a daze. It was warm. She turned her head to look at the empty spot next to her and her lips curled up unconsciously.
After packing up, Xia Ning went downstairs. Enoch was playing in the garden with Gao Wanhua. The breakfast on the table was for her.
Seeing this thoughtful gesture, Xia Ning felt a bit embarra.s.sed. If it were any other parent, they would have become angry long ago. It was hard for Gao Wanhua to be so generous.
After breakfast, Xia Ning remembered she had to go to the company in the afternoon. After all, the name had not been changed.
Eric was already waiting outside the Shen Group.
“Miss Asteria.” Seeing Xia Ning coming over, he greeted her directly.
Xia Ning nodded at him and asked, “Did you think of a name?”
“I’ve thought about a few, but it still depends on you,” Eric replied.
Xia Ning raised her eyebrows. “Just pick your favorite one.” As she spoke, she walked straight ahead.
Eric looked at Xia Ning’s back and was surprised. That was too careless.
This was Xia Ning’s first day at work. Even though she was late, no one dared to order the chairman around. Also, everyone knew Xia Ning was an actress and that actors did not have much free time.
In the meeting room, the higher-ups were all here. Other than Shen Tianlang, he was in the hospital with Shen Donglai and could not come.
This was the first time Xia Ning appeared in front of all the higher-ups in the Shen Group.
Xia Ning sat on the main seat and looked at the people below with a smile on her face. The people below looked down as if they did not dare to look at the new chairman.
“Everyone, don’t worry. I’m new here and should learn from you seniors. Let me introduce myself first.” As she spoke, Xia Ning stood up and bowed to everyone. “h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m Su Ke Xia Ning, the new chairman of the company.”
“Welcome to the Shen Group, Chairman,” someone said. Everyone applauded.
Xia Ning spread her hands and pressed them down, indicating everyone to be quiet. She smiled and said, “I don’t know what the Shen Group was like in the past. But from now on, I will make Huaining Group even better and let everyone enjoy better employee benefits.”
“Huaining Group?” The people below started to discuss.
Xia Ning put her hands on the table and looked at them. She said with a smile, “That’s right. From today onwards, the Shen Group will be officially renamed to Huaining Group!”
