After returning home with the child, her ex-husband knelt down and gently coaxed her.

On weekdays, office workers are always rushing around in coffee shops.

The two people at the booth were leisurely stirring the brown liquid in their glasses.

"I've long admired Manager Sun's name. I've always heard that Manager Sun of Haowei Group is exceptionally capable and is President Dong's right-hand woman. I never expected to meet her today; she's so young and beautiful."

Cheng Wanwan smiled and said some sweet words that made the woman in front of her very happy.

Sun Liangying knew that she was the daughter of the Cheng Group, and that everyone in the industry knew about the marriage alliance between the Cheng and Lu families. She was well aware of the weight and importance of the woman in front of her.

"Miss Cheng, you flatter me. You are so well-educated, beautiful, and truly worthy of being the most famous socialite in Jinghai," she praised. "You and Mr. Lu from the Ou Teng Group are a perfect match, a handsome couple."

Cheng Wanwan smiled gently. After exchanging compliments, it was time for them to get down to business.

She looked somewhat worried. "Manager Sun doesn't know, I've been sickly since I was a child, so my parents don't want me to worry about business matters. But my fiancé holds a high position with heavy responsibilities, and I can't share any of those burdens with him."

She looked at Sun Liangying and said, "Recently, I've been hearing a lot of gossip, saying that Haowei Group has a new senior nutritionist who is specifically in charge of the cooperation with Ou Teng Group. This woman always appears in front of my fiancé every few days, ostensibly to discuss work, but behind his back, a lot of rumors are circulating."

She stirred her coffee. "I know my fiancé would never do anything outrageous, but some people have no bottom line, though."

Upon hearing this, Sun Liangying frowned. "Ms. Cheng, are you referring to our company, An Ning?"

"It seems to be that name." Cheng Wanwan smiled slightly. "I don't know much about work-related matters, and I don't really want to keep asking my fiancé about this, so I wanted to talk to Manager Sun today to get some information."

"An Ning is indeed from our company. She was personally recruited by President Dong and is mainly responsible for cooperation with President Lu's Group." Sun Liangying got angry when she talked about An Ning. "That woman is quite arrogant. I just don't know if she has any real skills."

"Manager Sun is so focused on her work that she might not know some things," Cheng Wanwan said with a laugh. "Some women's skills aren't in their work, but in seducing men."

"Sure enough, I knew that An Ning wasn't a decent woman!" Sun Liangying said angrily. "She looks so high and mighty, but I never expected her to do something so shameless."

Upon hearing this, Sun Liangying couldn't help but wonder if her getting into the wealthy company was also due to her flirting with President Dong!

Once a woman takes the initiative, which man can resist?

Especially a young and attractive woman like Anning!

Cheng Wanwan took a sip of coffee, looked up at the woman with an angry expression, and knew that she had ignited the woman's anger. She continued, "Manager Sun, I heard that your company has always wanted to cooperate with Ou Teng, and you were the one who personally handled the negotiations before."

"Yes," Sun Liangying said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just a pity that President Lu has never expressed any intention to cooperate."

"No, you're mistaken," Cheng Wanwan said. "I heard Xi Yan say that he thinks Haowei is a good company and worth considering collaborating with, especially mentioning your serious, meticulous, and responsible work ethic."

Seeing the other person's delighted expression, she added, "He just wanted to investigate further before, but now he's probably done his investigation."

"Really?" Sun Liangying asked quickly, "Is President Lu really considering cooperating with us?"

Cheng Wanwan nodded, "It's just a pity, Manager Sun. Now An Ning is in charge of the cooperation and coordination. Even if Hao Wei cooperates with Ou Teng, the credit will only go to An Ning."

Hearing this, Sun Liangying's face turned green with anger.

Yes, she had been working on this cooperation for a year, and it was almost finalized that they would be co-renting, when Anning suddenly barged in and stole the credit!

She did nothing, yet she became the project manager as soon as she joined.

If the credit for the collaboration goes to her, wouldn't that mean she's directly taking her own place?

What does all those years of hard work mean to her?

How could she let someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere steal her job!

"Besides, I don't want someone like that working for my fiancé," Cheng Wanwan smiled. "Manager Sun should understand what I mean, right?"

Sun Liangying naturally understood the meaning behind the other party's words. Neither of them wanted An Ning to appear in Hao Wei and Ou Teng's group, so they were actually on the same side.

"Miss Cheng, of course I understand. Don't worry, Anning won't be staying at Haowei for more than a few days."

"That's good." Cheng Wanwan picked up her coffee and gently touched Sun Liangying's cup. "As long as An Ning isn't in charge of this project anymore, I'll talk to Xi Yan about the collaboration and act as a go-between. After all, he still has to listen to his fiancée."

Sun Liangying looked excited, "Thank you so much, Ms. Cheng!"

"Shh—" Cheng Wanwan gestured for her to be quiet. "Manager Sun, we haven't met today, have we?"

Sun Liangying immediately realized what was going on, "Of course not, I'm out visiting a client today."

With that, she smiled and got up to leave.

As soon as Sun Liangying left, Cheng Wanwan's smile vanished, replaced by resentment and anger in her eyes.

She took a paternity test report out of her bag.

The unbelievably high confirmation rate, written in black and white, stung her eyes.

Her fingers gripped the edge of the table tightly, and she couldn't suppress the anger in her eyes.

He tore the paper into shreds and slammed it into the trash can.

She never expected that An Ning's bastard child was actually west Yan's!

That little bastard really is west Yan's son!

How is that possible!

How dare An Ning give birth to this child!

No wonder she dared to swagger in front of west Yan this time. What she wanted wasn't money, but the position of the young mistress of the Lu family!

"An Ning, I really can't tolerate you anymore. You and that little bastard must stay far away from west Yan!"

......

Haowei Group.

Anning was working when her phone, which was on the desk, suddenly received several push notifications.

She glanced at it; it was a property listing.

She's been looking at apartments online these past few days, planning to move with Anxian to a place closer to her company, somewhere spacious and bright, so that Anxian can go to school in the second half of the year.

Li Chunfang is due to be discharged from the hospital in a few days, so we can bring her to live with us.

She estimated that after deducting the cost of Li Chunfang's targeted therapy, Sister Zhao's salary, and their family's living expenses, the remaining money would be enough to find a decent house.

Mr. Dong pays a high salary, so naturally the work pressure is also high.

She must come up with a better plan as soon as possible to secure cooperation with Auten.

Otherwise, you might lose your job.

She opened her phone to check the notification; it was a house for sale.

Buying a house was not on her mind, especially since the house shown was a luxury home.

Just as she was about to turn off her phone, she suddenly looked at the property listing, her eyes narrowed, and her hand trembled so much that she almost dropped her phone.
