Unlike the others who bought from Chu Ning, their two accounts were new accounts. Moreover, they bought from Chu Ning from the beginning. As for the others, they bought from Chu Ning after she became famous.
Since the mastermind could guide Chu Ning to buy it, they could naturally guide others to buy it or buy it themselves. Therefore, if they checked the joint contacts of these three people, there was a high chance that they could find out who the mastermind was.
Guan Nan, who was in the conference hall, received Mu Heng’s instructions. He looked up and saw a small secretary walking in with a box.
Guan Nan hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Miss Chu. I didn’t notice when I invited you previously and made you misunderstand. Therefore, I asked my secretary to choose a gift for Miss Chu as an apology.”
Chu Ning, who did not see Mu Heng, naturally felt uncomfortable. She had specially gone for a styling today and spent five hours preparing for this meeting.
However, seeing that Guan Nan’s att.i.tude was alright, she calmed down a little.
Although she did not think that an a.s.sistant like Guan Nan could give her anything good, she still took a look. In the end, she was attracted by the jewelry in the box.
She did not expect that Guan Nan was just a small a.s.sistant, but he could give away a million yuan in one go. Moreover, it was someone she had only met once. This made Chu Ning even more certain that as the boss, Mu Heng must be even more generous.
Although Guan Nan was an a.s.sistant, he was Mu Heng’s number one a.s.sistant. If she wanted to interact with Mu Heng in the future, she would definitely not be able to avoid Guan Nan.
Therefore, Chu Ning felt that she could not accept this gift.
It would be terrible if Guan Nan thought that she was a greedy person.
Chu Ning put on a gentle smile and said, “a.s.sistant Guan, you’re too polite. It’s just that I can’t accept this gift. I’ve chatted with a.s.sistant Guan for so long today. This is already the best outcome. I hope a.s.sistant Guan won’t give me these material things and affect our friendship.”
Guan Nan smiled, but he was extremely awkward in his heart. The friendship between him and Chu Ning? Appreciation? Was she referring to that incongruous conversation just now?
Guan Nan knew very well that Chu Ning clearly had higher ambitions. She wanted to maintain an image of not caring about worldly things in front of him so that she could interact with his boss in the future.
However, he could not say it out loud.
It did not matter what Chu Ning thought. In short, what Chu Ning did was to show that she was not greedy for worldly things. It was right for him to praise her.
“Miss Chu, you’re right. It’s my fault. I’m worldly. Miss Chu’s character is elegant and admirable. Then I hope I still have a chance to interact with Miss Chu in the future,” Guan Nan said with a smile.
Chu Ning was about to take the opportunity to arrange a time for their next meeting when Guan Nan continued, “Then I’ll get my secretary to send Miss
Chu down. Coincidentally, I still have something on. Let’s meet another day.”
Chu Ning watched helplessly as Guan Nan left with the expensive jewelry. She was filled with regret.
When would they meet? If they didn’t agree on a time, wasn’t it equivalent to being far away?
Chu Ning still wanted to chase after her, but she was stopped by the secretary.
The secretary said politely, “Miss Chu, please.”
Chu Ning could only be invited down by the secretary with a smile.
As soon as she arrived downstairs, Chu Ning had a pained expression. She had just rejected a million yuan worth of jewelry! A million yuan! This realization made Chu Ning’s heart ache!
Guan Nan, who was upstairs, returned to Mu Heng’s office with the jewelry that was not accepted.
Mu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly. “She didn’t accept it?”
Although he did not say it explicitly, he was the one who invited her over, so he was still very sincere in giving her a gift, especially someone who he would not meet again.”
Guan Nan looked at Mu Heng with a smile. “Maybe she doesn’t have intentions here.”
Mu Heng lowered his head indifferently and sent the two accounts he had just found to Guan Nan. “Check these two accounts today. I want the results tomorrow.”
Guan Nan looked down at the account information Mu Heng had sent. They were all new accounts that had been created recently.
Jia Qing, who did not get the money, returned to the ward dejectedly.
When Chang Hao saw Jia Qing return, he quickly went forward excitedly and asked, “How is it? Did you get the money? Hurry up and give it to me. I’ll go pay for your father.”
Jia Qing shook her head and said, “Lin Yin is not lending it to me, she won’t even see me.”
At this point, Jia Qing’s eyes filled with hatred. It was all Lin Yin’s fault. If she had lent her money, she wouldn’t have walked home and wouldn’t have been splashed by dirty water on the way..
