Only then did Ji Nuan glance at the conference table.
Yes, she took the wrong seat.
The golden nameplate on the front read "Shine Group."
The seat on the other side was that of MN Group.
She seldom made such a stupid mistake, but she had something on her mind today. Although it wasn't a big problem, it was really shameful.
Ji Nuan was embarrassed and was about to get up when a low and deep voice rang on the side."Just sit there."
Ji Nuan turned to look at the source of the voice only to see the great CEO of Shine Group, Mr. Mo, had arrived.
She had not contacted him since slipping out of Ao Lan International, and the two of them had met again for the first time in days.
Ji Nuan glanced at him and was ready to rise again, but as soon as she left her seat, an irresistible force on her shoulder pressed her back down.
The man said deadpan, "It doesn't matter where you sit. CEO Ji, it isn't easy for you to find the time to attend the meeting. Just sit there."
Ji Nuan looked away expressionlessly and remained quiet. Mo Jingshen just smiled, took his hand away from her shoulder and went to sit on the MN Group's seat.
Everyone else present was surprised.
Why did CEO Mo look so indulgent to CEO Ji while the latter looked so cold... ?
They had heard that the two of them had a certain relationship, and some of the seniors in the business and political circles in Hai City who were present today knew that they used to be a couple, but no one dared to mention it. Everyone kept quiet and looked on.
Since CEO Mo didn't mind which seat to take, they didn't need to say anything about it. Now that everyone was seated, no one bothered to say anything.

The meeting was about the stadium reconstruction project and during the second half of the meeting, questions were raised about the drawings now under construction. Someone asked why there was suddenly an unrelated building? Was this MN Group's design?
As the problem was suddenly raised, the meeting room fell into a moment of silence. Ji Nuan was about to stand up to explain when the leaders of the municipal government said they would discuss other related projects with CEO Mo of Shine Group and the meeting would be suspended until an hour later.
Then Mo Jingshen went out with the leaders.
But before the meeting resumed, Ji Nuan was suddenly called out by them. A young man with blond hair and blue eyes who spoke fluent Chinese was waiting for her outside.
Ji Nuan hadn't seen this man before. When she was wondering who he was, the man handed her a name card.
When she saw the man's name card, she looked in surprise at the young man with blond hair and blue eyes.
Was he Dane?
That famous British architect? Three years ago, he signed a design contract worth tens of million with Shine Group and stunned the world of architecture. He was one of the best architects in the world.
Before Ji Nuan figured out what happened, the leaders suddenly sent for her to talk with her about the sudden addition of that irrelevant building. Her sense of adoration at the sight of a famous designer was immediately frozen.
What would be, would be. MN Group must take responsibility and she could not escape her responsibility.
Saying goodbye to Dane politely, Ji Nuan went straight to the lounge where the leaders were at.
After entering the lounge, she saw the leaders of the municipal government and construction bureau present. She guessed that in order to save face for the MN Group, they didn't criticize her in the meeting room, but now they wanted an explanation from her.
Ji Nuan was in a daze as she walked in. She didn't expect for her to be careful in the past three years and overcome all setbacks just to suffer such a big loss after returning to China.
The enemy was in the shadows. The MN Group had just moved its headquarters back to China. After all, there were still many people who were jealous of the MN Group and wanted to frame them up.
Just as she was taking out the drawing and blueprints that the interns had sent by mistake and was about to explain, although she didn't know whether they would accept her explanation, the door of the lounge was knocked, and someone came in.
"Sorry to disturb you. I am Dane, the architectural designer of MN Group. The mistake arising from a temporary plan I made may affect the reputation of CEO Ji and MN Group, so I came here to explain." Dane came in, stopped beside Ji Nuan, and took the drawings and blueprints from her.
Ji Nuan was surprised and doubtful.
Dane had never cooperated with MN Group. As far as she knew, the only Chinese company that had ever cooperated with Dane was Shine Group. She had never met this designer before. Why did he suddenly appear here to help her solve this problem?
Ji Nuan turned around and was about to speak when she suddenly saw the cold and handsome man walking into the lounge.
Mo Jingshen entered the room but didn't take a seat. Ignoring the person who respectfully beckoned him to sit down, he put a hand into his trouser pocket and leaned against the door. His handsome face was in the darkness, which made him look calm and unfathomable.
The leaders present were also stunned. They certainly had heard of Dane, who used to renovate palaces for the British royal family, but he was said to have signed up to Shine three years ago.
But why did Dane say the design of MN Group was his? How could such a low-level design be Dane's work?
Dane noticed how surprised Ji Nuan was. He winked at her, signaling her to cooperate with him.
Getting Dane's signal, Ji Nuan thought for a while and turned her eyes toward Mo Jingshen, who was looking at her. He seemed to have been looking at her since he stood there. Her reflection was in his dark, calm eyes. Even if she stared at him, he didn't look away.
She suddenly remembered what Mo Jingshen had said to her every time she had encountered any problem.
You're my wife, so just leave any problems to me.
You can count on me and don't have to force yourself.
The leaders called her here to hold her accountable. Nothing good awaited her here anyway.
So Dane was sent by Mo Jingshen to rescue her?
Mo Jingshen stood there and looked calmly at her. His gaze was fixed on her and with his slender and well-shaped fingers, he casually played with the cup of tea that was just served. He gently tapped the white porcelain cup cover. His eyes were placid and assuring.
