Satisfied, Wen Ning left Jiang Muzhi’s office. Just as she entered the elevator, a man noticed her.

“Is it her?”

Yan Heng recognized Wen Ning immediately. He had missed her during the four years when she was overseas.

When did she come back? What was she doing here?

Yan Heng walked into Jiang Muzhi’s office with a number of unanswered questions.

When he learned of Wen Ning’s intentions, Yan Heng was furious. “Woman, how much do you hate me? With such a big incident happening at home, the first person you went to beg was actually someone else and not me?”

“CEO Yan, in regard to our collaboration, do you think…”

“No problem, but… I have a condition!”

Yan Heng had a smirk on his face.

Wen Ning took a closer look at the contract and made sure that there were no issues before rushing to the Jiang Corporation with it.

However… to her surprise, Jiang Muzhi, who had promised to cooperate with her yesterday, had changed his mind.

“What do you mean? Are you not satisfied with the terms in the contract? Or do you have other thoughts about me?”

Wen Ning was a little annoyed. She hated people who did not trust her the most.

Jiang Muzhi shook his head in denial, “No, it’s just that… something cropped up!”

The day before, Yan Heng had used their partnership as a threat and made a request that Jiang Muzhi could not refuse. Although Jiang Muzhi was also in a difficult position, he decided to be the bad guy for the sake of the company .

Wen Ning took two deep breaths and told herself that this was a business negotiation and anything could happen. After calming herself down, Wen Ning asked, “What was it that cropped up? Tell me and I’ll resolve it!”

Jiang Muzhi shook his head: “You can’t resolve it! Someone has said that if I collaborate with you, my dealings with them will be terminated! They will also create issues for my company.I cannot take this risk!”

“Who is that person?” Wen Ning caught the main point in his words.

Jiang Muzhi smiled bitterly: “I can’t tell you. You can try and recall if you have offended someone important!”

Offend someone important? What kind of joke was this? She had not returned to the country for four years! She had seen less than ten people since returning. How could she have offended someone important?

Seeing that Jiang Muzhi was unwilling to reveal more and the collaboration could not continue, Wen Ning could only leave.

At this moment, Wen Ning was filled with frustration. Apart from the most crucial problem that could not be solved, she could not figure out what kind of big shot was making things difficult for her.

Was it someone her father had offended?

Wen Ning called her father’s assistant. “Uncle Su, has my father offended anyone previously?”

“No. Why do you ask?”

Wen Ning briefly explained the matter. Su He was also puzzled. “It shouldn’t be. We were just unlucky and got implicated by others, but we didn’t do anything to offend anyone.”

Who could it be? Wen Ning fell into deep thought.

Perhaps she could find out the answer from his father’s past connections.

“Hello, Uncle Li. I’m Wen Ning… I’d like to visit you. You aren’t at home? What a coincidence. Alright, I’ll come over when you’re back.”

“Uncle Liu, it’s Wen Ning. Do you have time? It’s alright, next time!”

“Uncle Hu…”

After making a round of calls, Wen Ning felt increasingly hopeless. Everyone treated her like a plague, not even giving her a chance to meet them.

Wen Ning sat in her father’s office, staring at the empty office with a helpless look on her face.

She placed her finger on Yan Heng’s number and did not dial it for a long time. She did not know why he came to her mind at her most helpless moment.

It was not that she wanted Yan Heng to help her, but she wanted to find someone she could talk to. Even though she had often bickered with him in the past, she wanted to tell him about her grievances.

After hesitating for a long time, she decided not to call him.

At this moment, she received a call from an unknown number.

“Miss Wen? I’m from the Sky High Group. I have a collaboration project to discuss with you. Are you interested?”

Wen Ning was taken aback by the unexpected call. Sky High Group? What kind of company is this? I’ve never heard of it before.

After checking up on the Sky High Group online, Wen Ning was instantly excited. This was actually a big company that was on the rise in recent years! The company was established three years ago and had abundant funds. Within a short span time, it had developed into one of the top corporations in Yunhai City.

“Oh my god, did I suddenly get lucky?” Wen Ning covered her mouth in surprise.

“Miss Wen? Are you listening?”

Wen Ning hurriedly said, “I’m interested!”
