Vice President Gao booked the soonest flight to Shangcheng, and the two were directly escorted to the President's office by Ke Corporation staff upon arrival.
After two months, seeing Mr. Ke Jingyu again, he was still the same gentle and jade-like gentleman as before.
But she was no longer the Jiang Nan Fang of the past.
She couldn't quite describe how she felt.
As the designer, Jiang Nan Fang was quite embarrassed about the product's malfunction.
However, Mr. Ke had no intention of blaming her.
He summoned engineers from the technical department to have a small meeting with her.
Soon, Jiang Nan Fang figured out the reason for the excessive temperature rise.
Their batch of products was to be used in Wucheng, a city known as one of the "Four Great Furnaces."
With long daylight hours and already high temperatures, the absence of heat dissipation vents on the casing naturally led to problems.
Having found the cause, Jiang Nan Fang suggested having Zhan's mold couriered over, find a local factory to modify it by adding heat dissipation vents, and experiment with the results before making further plans.
Everyone readily agreed.
Thus, Vice President Gao began arranging the subsequent matters, and the issue was resolved by the afternoon.
As the workday neared its end, Ke Jingyu, who greatly admired Jiang Nan Fang, invited her to dinner that evening.
Jiang Nan Fang naturally declined.
"As suppliers, with our product having issues, how could we possibly have you treat us to a meal?"
"It should be us treating you, and we hope Mr. Ke won't find us wanting."
"How could I possibly find you wanting? Engineer Jiang is young and accomplished, a rare heroine in our industry, and I couldn't possibly admire you enough."
Ke Jingyu smiled.
"Since you put it that way, then I shall respectfully accept your offer. Let's go together."
Vice President Gao hastily arranged a restaurant, and the two rode in Ke Jingyu's car.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the spacious private room contained only the three of them, and the other party was a leading industry magnate in Shangcheng.
Jiang Nan Fang and Vice President Gao felt somewhat uneasy.
Just as they were contemplating what would be appropriate to discuss, the private room door was pushed open.
A familiar voice drifted in.
"What major issue requires me to make a trip? I finally got two days off, couldn't you have just let me..."
Ke Teng, dressed in casual wear, walked in complaining casually.
Mid-sentence, he saw Jiang Nan Fang sitting next to Ke Jingyu, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Hey? What are you doing here? You know my dad?"
"What a coincidence, what's your relationship?"
Ke Teng? Ke Jingyu?
Jiang Nan Fang understood.
No wonder this guy was so rambunctious at such a young age.
Turns out he was the son of Shangcheng's business tycoon, a young master unafraid of losing his livelihood.
Jiang Nan Fang never imagined she would have such a connection with the Ke family.
Seeing his son speak to Jiang Nan Fang in such a manner, Ke Jingyu was also somewhat surprised.
"You know Miss Jiang?"
"More than just know, we're quite familiar with each other."
He had initially found dining with his father rather dull, but seeing her now, Ke Teng's spirits immediately lifted.
He pulled over a chair and sat next to Jiang Nan Fang, beginning to talk animatedly.
"A few days ago, I heard in Nancheng that you had some trouble, and I thought you were in a predicament. Now it seems the situation isn't dire. Are you still filming?"
He supposed the reporters, disregarding Zhan Bei Jue's instructions, still published the news.
So Ke Teng saw it?
Jiang Nan Fang felt a bit embarrassed.
"I'm not filming anymore. After all, I'm not a professional and I don't have box office appeal. I don't want to hold back your brother."
Ke Teng waved his hand.
"If you're not filming, then you're not filming. It was all his lack of preparation, it has nothing to do with you. Don't talk about yourself like that."
"So, how did you end up here? Besides writing scripts, do you have other jobs?"
What? Writing scripts?
Ke Jingyu's opinion of Jiang Nan Fang grew even more favorable.
"Engineer Jiang is so talented? A science student who can also write and be a screenwriter, that's amazing."
Seeing Vice President Gao also cast curious glances,
Jiang Nan Fang didn't want to explain further, she just smiled and said.
"Money makes the world go 'round. I can do anything as long as someone pays me, it's nothing."
"Stop talking about me. Let's order food."
She had thought that after their last meeting, she wouldn't have any more interactions with Jiang Nan Fang.
But now that she had delivered herself to his doorstep, Ke Teng decided he wouldn't let her go no matter what.
He had already had people investigate.
Jiang Nan Fang did have a relationship with Zhan Bei Jue, but that was in the past.
The two had divorced many years ago.
If he truly had feelings for her, why hadn't they remarried?
Seeing him interfere with her interactions with other men was simply driven by possessiveness.
Ke Teng didn't care about all that.
If he was interested in Jiang Nan Fang, he would pursue her with all his might.
Husband or not, step aside! .oΓg
With Ke Teng livening up the atmosphere, the dinner proceeded harmoniously.
They discussed industry prospects, looked forward to the future, occasionally joked, and the meal lasted for over two hours before concluding.
Jiang Nan Fang was exhausted and just wanted to finish and go back to sleep.
However, Ke Teng, still not quite satisfied, pulled her along.
"You don't usually come to Shangcheng much, do you? Working every day, or staying at home. It's rare to come out, it would be a shame to just sleep it away."
"I'll take you somewhere fun. An absolutely high-end and private venue, don't worry, no outsiders will disturb you."
Jiang Nan Fang still politely refused him.
"I'm here for work, and I have to get up early to work tomorrow morning, I really don't have time."
"I appreciate your kind offer, perhaps next time. When I have time to visit Shangcheng, or you can come to Nancheng, and I'll treat you."
Seeing that she truly didn't want to go, Ke Jingyu interrupted Ke Teng.
"Engineer Jiang, at such a young age, has built such a thriving career, and thinks of nothing but work. Do you think everyone is like you?"
"All day long, nothing but eating and drinking, going out and messing around, not a bit of seriousness."
"Stop holding onto her. Once your work is done, I'll give you two days off to have fun."
Since his father had also spoken, Ke Teng could only give up.
"Alright then, what time are you going to the company tomorrow? I'll go with you."
"See? My dad always complains that I don't go to the company and don't care about his business. Since you're here, I'll go and learn from you tomorrow."
Knowing he could do nothing but cause trouble by following her.
Jiang Nan Fang was about to refuse, but Ke Jingyu was very pleased.
"It's rare for you to say something that satisfies me. Then it's settled."
"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, you'll come to the company with me. You should have started learning a long time ago."
Everyone parted ways and returned to their hotels. Lying on the bed, Jiang Nan Fang called her children.
It was their first time at summer camp, and Rui Rui and Ge Er were overjoyed.
Chitter-chattering excitedly, they rushed to tell their mommy how fun and thrilling it was there, how much they liked it, and how happy their lives were.
Listening to their innocent exclamations, Jiang Nan Fang felt a pang of sorrow.
They had only been with mommy for a few days and were already about to lose her.
If they knew that their mommy was currently planning how to abandon them.
Would they hate her for the rest of their lives?
