The bodyguard was surprised."Well... Mr. Mo, shall we take her back?"
Outside the CEO's office, a black-clad man stared at the changing numbers on the elevator in the distance, one hand in his pants pocket, the other holding a cellphone. His handsome face was deadpan, and he said indifferently, "Guard her and don't let her run around until she goes back to her company or Yuehu Bay."
The bodyguard on the other side of the line responded: "OK, Mr. Mo."
"Follow her and keep her safe, but don't let her find you."
"I see."
"The security facilities of Yuehu Bay are good. If she is going back home, let her go back to have a good rest. Don't disturb her."
"OK." After a pause, the bodyguard said again, "Miss Ji stopped, went to a roadside breakfast shop to buy some breakfast, took it to the car, and continued to the west side of the city."
"En."
Sure enough, she didn't eat a bite of the toast he left her.

Ji Nuan sat in a taxi, nibbling on a stuffed vegetable bun and looking at her phone. When she reached Yuehu Bay, she paid the fare, quickly got out of the car, and went into Yuehu Bay.
Although she didn't bring the identity documents and cards with her, fortunately, both the outside entrance and the door of her apartment could be accessed through fingerprint and password, and she returned home as soon as possible.
She had not returned for several days, and her apartment in Yuehu Bay was quiet and empty. After all, she had just moved here not long ago. All the furniture was new, and she was the only one in the big apartment. When she was in Ao Lan International these days, she wished she could grow wings and fly back, and now she finally came back. When she just entered the door, she didn't feel any difference, but after resting on the sofa for a while, she suddenly felt that she was almost drowned by the quietness and emptiness.
Ji Nuan got up, opened the window, and went out onto the terrace. She looked downstairs and had a panoramic view of the entire Yuehu Bay. This was the fifteenth floor, neither high nor low, and there were all kinds of people downstairs.
But when she came back, she noticed that the five floors above had not been sold yet. She guessed perhaps it was the mysterious owner who noticed the other apartments sold so well that he wanted a high price. Otherwise, how come the top floor and her floor had been sold, but the floors below her apartment hadn't?
She remembered the last time she saw all the furniture of the apartment on the top floor moving in, but she didn't know when the new tenants would move in.
There were no neighbors above, below, left to, right to, in front of or on the back of her apartment, so suddenly the apartment seemed even quieter.
She called her office and said she was coming to the company in the afternoon. She needed to relax at home after taking a shower and changing clothes.
She picked a book from the bookshelf and spent the morning reading in the living room. Then she called the vegetable and fruit supermarket downstairs and asked them to bring her some fresh fruits and ingredients. She planned to cook lunch and then go to her company when she was full.
But when Ji Nuan arrived at her company in the afternoon, she met an unexpected visitor.
Seeing Ji Nuan come, Xiao Ba walked behind her and whispered to her, "Boss, she has been waiting here for long. We try to persuade her to go, but she won't."
Ji Nuan glanced at Ji Mengran, who was sitting in the lounge of the ground floor.
Ji Nuan waved at Xiao Ba, signaling her to go about her business. After a pause, she turned to look at the person sitting in the lounge and walked over.
The sun was bright outside, and sunlight fell on the lounge. The air-conditioned temperature was moderate. With the sunshine, the room was very warm, and even the air was extremely comfortable. This was how Ji Mengran felt sitting here.
She was in Ji Nuan's territory, so Ji Mengran wasn't putting on airs this time. She looked up at Ji Nuan as she approached, and then suddenly smiled at her."Sister."
Her smiling face and the way she addressed her showed that she came here with a purpose.
Ji Nuan took a look at the time and coldly glanced at her."What's up?"
Ji Mengran smiled at her."You know, I'm also engaged in the real estate industry now. My studio develops quite well, especially in the last two months. You will be surprised if you know our performance in the last two months, especially in our resources and land purchase rate..."
Ji Mengran went on."Especially this month, as far as I know, among all the property-related companies in Hai City, only our studio's transaction quota has been overfulfilled at the beginning of this month and has been far ahead."
Ji Nuan looked at her calmly, wondering what she wanted.
Although the MN Group started as a real estate studio, after all, its industrial chain now covered not only real estate but also the other most profitable industries in recent years. Besides, in the past three years, the domestic housing price had been rising at a terrible speed. This year, another buffer period had come. Therefore, the primary target of MN Group this year was not to focus on real estate but to turn to other ways of making profits. But she didn't expect Ji Mengran would come here to show off.
Ji Nuan sighed in her heart—now, no matter how much land Ji Mengran's studio bought, it was almost impossible for her to sell them at prices higher than the original ones, not even at the original prices. The government had issued a regulatory policy, which was almost the strictest one ever since. Ji Mengran didn't know that she had hit the muzzle of the gun.
COMMENT
Ji Mengran smiled."Thanks to the help of Brother Sheng and the big shots of the major real estate enterprises of Hai City, our studio is able to develop stably, and we'll continue to work hard. Sister, I wonder when you're going to give me that fat piece of meat in your company? After all, I don't think you're going to continue that project this year, are you?"
She was talking about a plot that the MN Group bought several months ago. That plot was large, but Ji Nuan knew that in the present situation, that piece of land this year was unlikely to bring them any return and would even be a burden a year later. Its price wouldn't go up much. Even if the plot did not make her lose money, it would not bring her any profit, so she suspended the project and put it aside.
But she didn't expect Ji Mengran wanted that land and called it "a fat piece of meat." Did she want to snatch that piece of land from her?
Tut... It seemed that Ji Mengran had been keeping an eye on her company.
Ji Nuan and the achievement that the MN Group had gained were like a thorn in her flesh. Ji Mengran was so anxious that she even came to ask for purchasing that land.
Ji Nuan remained deadpan."How much are you going to bid?"
