The discussions in Chapter 857 were all directed at Wen Ning.
"I apologize to everyone. This was due to my mishandling of the matter. I failed to notify President Zhou in time, which led to the failure of the contract signing and caused huge losses to the company."
“I will resign from all my current positions in the Zhou Group as a warning to others.”
Xu Jia said these words without any hesitation.
But Xu Jia's slightly red eyes hinted at something to everyone.
Xu Jia was forced into it.
Even after finishing her speech, Xu Jia didn't give reporters a chance to interview her before quickly leaving the scene accompanied by her bodyguards.
Only the sound of reporters discussing the scene remained.
Nothing else.
However, all these discussions were directed at Wen Ning.
With Xu Jia resigning, the responsibility naturally fell to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning was instantly thrust into the eye of the storm.
Wen Ning remained calm when she saw the news in her apartment.
She sat quietly on the sofa, patiently waiting for Zhou Yi to return.
However, Wen Ning was also paying attention to the news.
All the news outlets made this story the headline.
Naturally, Wen Ning was also included.
Wen Ning didn't care about these things; she was busy gossiping but couldn't get any news from Zhou Yi.
The phone was kept spinning in Wen Ning's palm.
Time passed second by second, and Wen Ning remained motionless.
11 pm.
The sound of the apartment door opening came from inside.
Wen Ning stood up abruptly and looked towards the entrance of the apartment.
Zhou Yi walked in calmly, and Wen Ning could not detect any change in his emotions.
But Wen Ning didn't speak immediately until Zhou Yi walked up to her.
"I'm sorry to have worried you," Zhou Yi said softly to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning, her emotions tense, said, "I saw the news."
"Hmm." Zhou Yi didn't try to hide anything. "Let's let the dust settle and see how things unfold."
"Will things proceed according to your plan from now on?" Wen Ning asked Zhou Yi. "Is there anything I can do to cooperate with?"
"No need." Zhou Yi continued to look down at Wen Ning.
Wen Ning didn't respond, and soon Zhou Yi's voice came again.
“Now the Zhou family will be imploding one after another. And the reason for the implosion is not because of her long-term scheming, but because of the failure of this contract, resulting in a break in funding.” Zhou Yi explained carefully.
“I will resign at this point. The Zhou family also has Su Rui, and Xu Jia believes she can control Su Rui. Then she can justify her actions.”
Zhou Yi saw through Xu Jia's actions perfectly.
“But—” Wen Ning frowned, still feeling uneasy.
“Don’t worry, my parents won’t interfere, and neither will my uncle and aunt,” Zhou Yi replied.
The Zhou and Song families have been able to develop to their current state because of absolute trust.
Xu Jia alone cannot cause much of a stir.
Everyone will cooperate.
Only Xu Jia would feel that she has everyone under her control.
"Mm," Wen Ning replied.
Everything was arranged very well.
Wen Ning still felt uneasy.
It wasn't a suspicion of Zhou Yi, but a feeling of unease and fear, a sense that this matter wasn't so simple.
However, Wen Ning also failed to grasp the key points.
Zhou Yi could easily sense Wen Ning's emotions.
"Relax, don't overthink things," Zhou Yi coaxed softly.
“Perfect timing. I’ll resign, and I can spend this time traveling around with you. Come to think of it, we really haven’t really explored the capital properly.”
Zhou Yi's voice was gentle and soothing, as he was trying to comfort Wen Ning.
Wen Ning hummed in agreement, but didn't say anything else.
This unexpected turn of events seems to have suddenly brought Wen Ning and Zhou Yi closer together.
It's impossible for Wen Ning to say that she doesn't feel awkward at all.
But he didn't want to talk about that kind of compromise.
Zhou Yi didn't expose Wen Ning's thoughts.
"Go to sleep, don't overthink it. It'll be over in the next few days." Zhou Yi ended the conversation.
Wen Ning stood up, then suddenly looked at Zhou Yi as if she had just remembered something.
Zhou Yi hummed in agreement and patiently waited for Wen Ning to finish speaking.
"It's nothing." Wen Ning thought for a moment, but didn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She was thinking that Zhou Yi should resign to take responsibility.
This is undoubtedly a bombshell dropped in the industry.
All the media and colleagues are keeping a close eye on Zhou Yi.
How could Zhou Yi possibly take her out so recklessly?
But Wen Ning didn't say it in the end because she knew that Zhou Yi was always confident in everything he did.
So if this person says it's possible, then it's possible.
Asking more questions is pointless.
"Wen Ning." It was Zhou Yi who suddenly called out Wen Ning's name.
Wen Ning looked at Zhou Yi passively, remaining silent.
"Don't worry, I will never put you in danger, no matter when or where," Zhou Yi said calmly.
Wen Ning said nothing.
Then Wen Ning quietly walked towards the restroom.
Zhou Yi stood still and did not follow.
After Wen Ning tidied herself up, she went back to bed, but she still couldn't fall asleep.
Zhou Yi took a shower in the guest room next door and returned naturally in her pajamas.
When Zhou Yi returned, he was holding a phone with a video call on, showing Wen Suisui.
Wen Suisui chattered away, telling Zhou Yi all sorts of fun things.
Then they set off to find Wen Ning.
Zhou Yi naturally handed the phone to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning chatted with Wen Suisui, and behind Wen Suisui, Wen Ning also saw Nan Sheng and Song Xiao.
She greeted him politely, though somewhat shyly.
Nan Sheng and Song Xiao didn't mention anything about what had happened recently, and just smiled gently at Wen Ning.
The atmosphere is great.
So well done, it was as if they had no idea what had happened.
"Ningning, I bought a lot of cute little things. I'll give them to you later," Wen Suisui said to Wen Ning with a smile.
"Okay." Wen Ning nodded.
Wen Suisui also showed off the little things she bought in front of the camera.
Wen Ning was very supportive.
Zhou Yi leaned back on the pillow naturally, occasionally glancing at it absentmindedly.
When Wen Suisui thinks of something, she will tell Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi will quickly respond.
The family of three had a harmonious atmosphere.
“Ningning, I miss you…” Wen Suisui pouted, “I want to come find you.”
"Then you have to play with Grandpa and Grandma before you can come back to find me," Wen Ning said with a smile.
"Okay..." the little guy said somewhat reluctantly.
She mumbled a couple of things, probably realizing it was getting late back home, before hanging up the phone.
Wen Ning, however, remained silent for a moment after Wen Suisui hung up the phone.
Then she looked at Zhou Yi.
"Was it also premeditated for you to let Sui Sui go out to play with your mother?" Wen Ning asked.
It seems that Nan Sheng and Song Xiao took the child away in order to get closer to Wen Suisui.
But now that I think about it, it was probably because I didn't want them to be distracted by Wen Suisui's matter.
They were also afraid of something going wrong, especially since they had Wen Suisui, who might bring unnecessary trouble.
