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

"Anning, today is the third day. Have you received MOON's authorization letter yet?"

I had barely arrived at the company and hadn't even sat down when I heard Li Hui's cheerful voice asking me a question in a high-pitched tone.

An Ning didn't reply, picked up her water glass and went to the tea room.

"Some people can't get MOON's authorization letter, but they're unwilling to give up their projects that use MOON's patents. They want both, which is shameless."

Li Hui deliberately spoke loudly enough for all her colleagues in the department to hear, and anyone who heard it would know who she was talking about.

Huang Yuanyuan heard this as soon as she entered the department, and immediately retorted at the top of her lungs, "So that's why the office was so smelly this morning! Li Hui was farting!"

"Huang Yuanyuan!" Li Hui stood up, her eyes wide with anger. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Hey, look, you're already getting impatient before I've even said anything?" Huang Yuanyuan pointed at her with a smile. "You're in such a hurry, which means you're admitting that you were really talking nonsense!"

After saying that, she pretended to pinch her nose with one hand and fan the air around her with the other, "Ugh, it stinks!"

Upon hearing this, her colleagues around her chuckled quietly at her funny expression.

The waves of laughter felt like a public humiliation to Li Hui, and she immediately blushed. "Huang Yuanyuan, why are you siding with An Ning? She's fired if she can't produce the authorization letter today!"

Huang Yuanyuan made a face at her, "That's none of your business."

The two chatted back and forth, but Anning remained calm. She poured herself a glass of warm water and sat down when she saw a cute, round face approaching her, calling out, "Sister Ningning."

Since their last conversation, Huang Yuanyuan learned that Anning was a few years older than her, so she changed her address from Anning to the affectionate "Sister Ningning".

She frowned in displeasure and lowered her voice, saying, "This idea must have been given to Sun Liangying by Li Hui. Everyone in our industry knows that no one can contact MOON, let alone get her authorization. Li Hui knew this all along and deliberately dug a trap for you to fall into!"

An Ning took a sip of water and smiled, "That's why President Dong didn't know about this and agreed to Manager Sun's approach."

"They know perfectly well that if you can't produce an authorization letter, they'll have to redo the project proposal, but the new proposal might not be suitable for Ou Teng Group. If it's not suitable for Ou Teng, the cooperation won't be possible." Huang Yuanyuan counted the cause and effect on her fingers, then suddenly realized, "If the cooperation isn't successful, you'll have to leave Hao Wei. So they're doing this just to force you out of Hao Wei!"

At this point, she became anxious, "Sister Ningning, you're not really going to let them push you out like this, are you? I really can't stand Li Hui's smug attitude. People who got in through connections seem to have more confidence than anyone else!"

"There's no need to get angry with them." An Ning smiled gently and looked at Huang Yuanyuan. "They've already made you angry. If you get angry because of them, aren't you just helping them make yourself angry?"

Huang Yuanyuan rolled her round eyes, trying to understand An Ning's words, and smiled in agreement, "That does seem to make sense!"

Just then, a colleague came to deliver a message, "Anning, President Dong wants you to go to his office."

"This is going to be interesting!" Li Hui stood up, crossed her arms, and looked at An Ning. "An Ning, if I were you, I would have revised the project proposal long ago. Why waste these three days?"

Anning walked past her, glanced at her, and smiled gently. "So, you are not me."

......

"What! You got MOON's authorization?!"

In Dong Chenghai's office, Sun Liangying's incredulous voice rose.

She turned to look at Dong Chenghai, who was reading emails, and saw that he was staring at the emails with a look of admiration on his face.

"Is Supervisor Sun surprised?"

An Ning's eyes remained calm as she asked with a smile, "Or is it that Supervisor Sun was certain from the beginning that I wouldn't be able to obtain the authorization letter?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Chenghai asked in confusion, "Is it really that hard to get a license for MOON?"

He turned the computer to Sun Liangying and pointed to the handwritten signature on the authorization email. "Now that Anning has obtained the authorization, it proves that the patent can be used, so her project proposal can be launched."

Sun Liangying leaned over for a look, and the signature was indeed from MOON, but she had never met this person before, let alone recognized the signature, so she couldn't tell if it was real or fake.

"Anning, this isn't a signature you made up, is it?" Sun Liangying looked at Anning suspiciously.

An Ning smiled calmly and countered, "Hasn't Manager Sun ever seen MOON's autograph?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Liangying's expression immediately changed.

It was her suggestion in the first place. If she says she hasn't seen it, it would be admitting to President Dong that she set a trap for An Ning.

Thinking of this, she quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I have! Of course I have!"

"Since Manager Sun has seen it, he can naturally tell at a glance whether the signature in this email is MOON's." An Ning smiled sweetly. "Manager An, take a closer look, the signature should be correct, right?"

Sun Liangying immediately realized that An Ning had turned the tables on her.

If she says the signature isn't MOON's, Anning will definitely ask her to produce MOON's real autograph for comparison. But not only her, but even many senior nutritionists in the department have never seen this person's signature, so there's no way to compare them and no way to prove that the signature Anning received is fake.

If she tells the truth that no one has ever seen MOON's autograph, it would be tantamount to admitting to President Dong that she is targeting An Ning, which is the last thing President Dong wants to see.

So no matter what, she could only passively push Anning along with what she said.

Thinking of this, she met An Ning's seemingly calm eyes and realized that this woman's mind was indeed not simple.

Sun Liangying raised the corners of her lips and replied with a forced smile, "That's right, it is indeed MOON's autograph. Well done."

Upon hearing this, Dong Chenghai immediately laughed and said, "Now that we've obtained the authorization letter, Anning, quickly complete the necessary parts of the project proposal and send it to Mr. Lu at Ou Teng as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing the words "President Lu," An Ning's smile froze slightly. "Yes, President Dong."

For An Ning, getting past Lu Xiyan was much harder than dealing with Sun Liangying and Li Hui.

"Well then, Mr. Dong, Manager Sun, I'll get back to work now."

Just as An Ning was about to leave, Dong Chenghai immediately called her back and said with a smile, "An Ning, I was just about to go downstairs. I'll go with you and we can talk about this project."

......

Everyone was surprised when An Ning and Dong Chenghai appeared together at the project site.

Standing at the entrance of the project department, Dong Chenghai looked at An Ning with admiration. "An Ning, keep up the good work! Our cooperation between Haowei and Ou Teng depends entirely on you!"

An Ning smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your trust, President Dong. I will do my best."

Dong Chenghai raised his hand and gently patted An Ning on the shoulder. "I believe in you."

Rather than believing in Anning's abilities, he believed more in the unusual relationship between Anning and CEO Lu of Ou Teng.

Dong Chenghai thought that as long as An Ning took over the project, Haowei's cooperation with Ou Teng would be inevitable sooner or later.

Thinking of this, the appreciative smile on his face deepened.
