Chapter 8 He Is My Younger Brother!

When Qi Jie was mentioned, Chen Zitong transformed into a completely different person, crying inconsolably. Ning Beichuan embraced Chen Zitong, comforting her, "Wu Jie, please don't cry. I promise you that I will find her, okay?" Chen Zitong remained silent, holding onto Ning Beichuan tightly, afraid that he would suddenly disappear as well. After a while, Chen Zitong looked up and took out her phone, saying, "I'll call my Big Sister and Third Sister right away and share this good news with them." In reality, the only people she could call at the moment were her Big Sister and Third Sister. "Wait a moment," Ning Beichuan interrupted Chen Zitong's action. "Hmm?" "I want to surprise them." Chen Zitong put down her phone and playfully tapped Ning Beichuan's head, smiling, "You really are a clever little devil." "Alright, I'll invite them over tonight and give you an opportunity to impress them." "Of course." Ning Beichuan smiled. Deep down, he also felt a mix of emotions. As time passed, everyone had moved on with their lives. The once intimate moments now seemed extravagant, and finding a suitable reason to gather again was difficult. But now, he had returned, and everything would be different! Looking at Ning Beichuan in front of her, Chen Zitong grew happier the longer she looked at him. Just as she was about to say something, the phone rang. The caller ID showed it was her assistant. Chen Zitong casually answered, "What's up?" "My Lady, do you still want the order you missed yesterday? Far Mountain Industries, hurry!" The assistant's tone was slightly serious. Oh no! Chen Zitong's heart skipped a beat, almost forgetting about the important matter! She immediately packed up and stood up, answering the phone while opening the door, "I'll go right away!" Caught up in conversation with Ning Beichuan, she had forgotten about the important task. Due to the inspection at the mansion yesterday, she missed a crucial negotiation. Today, she had to make up for it. "Wu Jie, I'll go with you." "You?" Turning her head to look at the empty apartment, Chen Zitong hesitated for a moment. She couldn't bear to leave her younger brother alone at home. In the end, she said, "Alright, but you must listen to me and not wander around." "Okay." The two of them left. Originally, Ning Beichuan wanted Chen Zitong to try out his new car. But Chen Zitong declined. It wasn't that she disliked the car that Ning Beichuan wanted to give her, but the style just didn't suit her. Today was a day of negotiation, and it needed to be formal, not too casual. Chen Zitong drove her Audi A8 and rushed to the law firm to pick up her assistant. The assistant got in the car. When he saw Ning Beichuan sitting in the passenger seat, he was stunned. If he remembered correctly. This guy was a murderer! Yesterday, he was even confronted by Ding Shengji in the old city area on North Street! And now he dared to be here, alive and well! To be honest, he admired Ning Beichuan's courage to not fear death. But Chen Zitong had a bright future, and having someone like him mixed in would eventually ruin it! With this in mind. The assistant asked, "Why is he here?" "Zitong, you must understand that today's negotiation is crucial. If it is ruined by someone irrelevant, it will not be worth it." The assistant spoke earnestly, feeling extremely worried. "He is my younger brother." Chen Zitong emphasized each word, looking directly at the assistant, "Wu Cheng, if you don't like it, you can leave. I won't stop you." "And don't call me Zitong, we're not that close." She had absolute confidence in the negotiation and wouldn't be swayed by external forces. Upon hearing Chen Zitong's words, Wu Cheng's face immediately turned ugly. A long time ago, he regarded Chen Zitong as his possession and was willing to assist her in any way. But Ning Beichuan, this suddenly appeared younger brother, caught him off guard and became a huge threat. Thinking of this, Wu Cheng felt uncomfortable all over. He said with a serious tone, "Lawyer Chen, this guy is not suitable to be with us. He is a murderer!" "My brother is not a murderer!" Chen Zitong's eyes turned red, and she slammed on the brakes. Bang! Wu Cheng lost his balance and hit the car window, making a dull sound. Wu Cheng gritted his teeth, clutching his head and convulsing. Ning Beichuan glanced at him lightly, then turned to Chen Zitong and said, "If he's really not suitable, forget it." "Stop talking nonsense, I said he's suitable." He was just a person, and she had confidence in her abilities. To be frank, Wu Cheng was truly dispensable to her. "Lawyer Chen, don't let emotions cloud your judgment!" Wu Cheng gritted his teeth and stared at Ning Beichuan, wishing to tear him apart! "Am I talking to my fifth sister? Do you have the right to interrupt?" Ning Beichuan was already annoyed when a stranger got into his fifth sister's car. But he wasn't an unreasonable person, and this guy was being annoying, and his gaze towards Chen Zitong made him uncomfortable. "Hmph." Wu Cheng sneered. He looked at Ning Beichuan with a cold gaze and said: "What do you think you are? Do you think you're worthy of following Lawyer Chen? Without me, this deal wouldn't have been signed today!" "Get out of the car!" "Wu Cheng, I told you to get out of the car!" Chen Zitong angrily pointed at Wu Cheng, not giving him any face. Insulting her younger brother was not allowed! Bang! Wu Cheng pushed open the car door and got out. Watching the Audi drive away, his eyes were filled with jealousy and rage! Chen Zitong! You despicable person! Without me, who do you think you are! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. Wu Cheng took out his phone and sent a text message: Notify the senior management of the law firm to gather. He turned around, hailed a car, and drove in the opposite direction. Along the way. Ning Beichuan's gaze was uncomfortable. "Don't misunderstand, he's not my boyfriend." Seeing Ning Beichuan getting angry, Chen Zitong immediately explained. In fact, she couldn't even figure out why she was explaining, but she still did. "Is he worthy?" Ning Beichuan sneered. He didn't care about Wu Cheng at all. Soon, the car stopped. Tall buildings loomed ahead, marking the entrance to the city center. Yuanshan Industries. Situated in the heart of the city's third ring road, it was surrounded by a lush green belt, spanning over ten meters. In a city where every inch of land was precious, this could be considered extravagant! On the third floor, in the reception room, the high-level executives of Yuanshan Industries appeared serious and well-prepared. It was now 8:50, just ten minutes away from the scheduled time! Lawyers from Wutong Law Firm and members of the planning department of Yuanshan Industries were scattered throughout the reception room. Wutong Law Firm was the company where Chen Zitong worked. Wu Xingguo, the head of the planning department, spoke up, "Gentlemen, today's deal will determine the survival or demise of Yuanshan for the next three years." "We can only succeed, failure is not an option!" Liu Changmu, the general manager of Yuanshan Industries, delivered a speech. The cooperation with Dingcheng Group had to be secured today! No one and nothing should be allowed to delay it! The entire reception room was filled with tension, as if swords were drawn and bows were bent. "Where is Lawyer Chen?" Liu Changmu frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed. Yesterday, the deal was almost finalized, but because Chen Zitong failed to show up, the other party felt humiliated and the negotiations fell apart. And now, she was late? "Lawyer Chen is on her way, she will be here soon," one of the law firm's lawyers reassured. "Damn it!" "What does she mean? Is the future of Yuanshan Industries just a joke to her?" Liu Changmu angrily stood up and slammed the table. In an instant, the room fell silent. "Liu, why are you getting angry?" As he spoke, the door swung open. Chen Zitong and Ning Beichuan entered the room. "You despicable scum, you still dare to come?" Liu Changmu grabbed the documents on the table and threw them fiercely at Chen Zitong! Smack! The papers scattered in the air. Ning Beichuan's gaze turned cold, and he stepped forward to shield Chen Zitong. He angrily rebuked Liu Changmu, "Are you looking for trouble?" The papers grazed Ning Beichuan's cheek, leaving traces of blood. In that moment, Ning Beichuan was filled with fury. Insulting his sister in front of him, did they think he was a pushover?
