Chapter 143: Great CEO Mo, You're Looking Down on People, Ah.

Feng Ling pressed one of the thugs under her feet and with a harsh grind, the anguished wailing sharpened. The blood-curdling shriek was sufficient to shake the office glass windows.

Ji Nuan wanted to stop Feng Ling but was unable to.

The short-haired woman before her was miraculously agile. In an instant, the startled CEO Xiao also received a kick to his face. His sorry figure fell onto the ground with half his face bruised.

There were still two thugs at the back. Seeing the situation, they immediately threw themselves forward while swearing. Ji Nuan's hand grabbed onto Feng Ling's clothes forcefully, fearing that someone might lose their life.

She finally understood what amazing person Mo Jingshen had placed by her side. Right now, she was worried the thugs under CEO Xiao would not make it out alive...

Ji Nuan resisted the impulsive urge to clap and shout 'good.' Her studio had only just been set up. If blood was spilled and a life was lost, it would definitely harm her business.

One of the thugs rushed forward in anger, wanting to grab Ji Nuan by the hair and haul her out. Before his hand could touch her, he was completely trampled on by Feng Ling. It was as though she was mindless of the opponent. So long as anyone dared to touch Ji Nuan, she would not let them off.

Ji Nuan watched as Feng Ling delivered kicks to the two men's legs and caught the sound of their bones being crushed; it caused a chill to rush down her back. She then stared as the two men's lives were almost ended under Feng Ling's feet.

"Wait! Don't kill them!" Ji Nuan frantically reached out, hugging Feng Ling's elbow. "There's a police station near the building. Let's call for the police to bring them away! They'll definitely deliver a harsh punishment! This country isn't like the training base overseas! You can't kill someone!"

Feng Ling's actions then finally stopped. Her expression was cold and harsh as she eyed the few garbage rolling around on the ground.

She had initially thought nothing would happen since Ji Nuan was in the studio and the buildings had their own security. She had taken the spare time to buy a bottle of water nearby, but the moment she returned, she heard the screaming and the crashing sounds of furniture being flipped over. Rushing in, the first thing she saw was Ji Nuan about to be hurt.

Feng Ling did not speak as she shifted her feet away from the man under her. She stepped behind Ji Nuan, maintaining a distance so as to not disturb her while ensuring her safety.

Ji Nuan supported Xiao Ba to stand up. "Are you all right?"

Xiao Ba nodded her head and then threw a nervous glance at the person behind Ji Nuan. "Boss, she's amazing!"

Ji Nuan chuckled. To think that she previously was concerned about this female bodyguard's ability.

The truth proved her concerns were unnecessary.

Since it was a person Mo Jingshen had carefully selected to be by her side, how could she be anything short of amazing?

The police quickly rushed over and brought the thugs away. The disheveled CEO Xiao was also taken away.

Ji Nuan went up to speak with the officer in charge of the previous case. She confirmed that they had discovered the affair between CEO Xiao and Supervisor Xu after taking on the case and that it was not a busybody from her studio who had handed the video over. She was then assured.

As long as this issue was unrelated to the people from her studio, she did not care to ask anything else.

As CEO Xiao was being hauled away, he caught bits of the conversation between Ji Nuan and the officer. He looked frustrated, and the defeat in his eyes was difficult to hide. It was clear the chaos in his home had already gone out of hand. In a blink of an eye, an initially pleasant looking man was beaten swollen by a female bodyguard. There was no way he could walk out with his head raised up high. He shot Ji Nuan an unhappy look but was pressed down and brought away by the police.

In the evening, Ji Nuan returned after inspecting one of the locations under her studio for an hour.

Ji Nuan sat in the back seat of the car. She supported her head with one hand while holding her documents with another. When her phone rang, she picked it up to listen to the reports from the Human Resource Department.

By now, she was well-informed on the trends of various industries and markets. She could also guarantee she would be able to expand their studio into a large-scale real estate corporation when the time was right.

However, making money with a business was different from managing a corporation. Right now, the investment the studio had obtained was far beyond what she had predicted. The lands she needed to purchase were also much more. The scale of the studio needed to be enlarged but the Human Resource Department, the Finance Department, and so on, all had countless matters she needed to worry about each day.

Ji Nuan hoped in this life, she would be able to stand on the peak of both her career and love life. However, although she previously studied in America and performed considerably well, at the end of the day, she was not born with a background in business management or commercial affairs. Even if her brain was strong enough, and she had sufficient predictions, she was somewhat lacking right now in the management aspect. She had only just begun and was feeling hard-pressed.

A few days ago, Xia Tian had sent her a message that she would come to her studio to help after being discharged.

However, this was still insufficient.

Ji Nuan supported her head, placed her phone aside, and turned to look out at the darkening sky.

At night, in the Yu Garden.

With Auntie Chen cooking, Ji Nuan most likely would not be able to watch Mo Jingshen cook anytime soon.

On the dining table, Mo Jingshen's chopsticks had only just stretched out when Ji Nuan's chopsticks unintentionally collided with his. He threw her a glance and shifted his chopsticks to another dish. Ji Nuan's chopsticks quickly followed.

Like this, their "chopsticks fight" continued for a long while. Mo Jingshen placed his chopsticks down, his deep, black eyes concentrated on Ji Nuan with a hint of laughter.

The man casually placed his hand on the table, assuming a lazy pose. He was a clear contrast from Ji Nuan who was consumed with thoughts.

"Something on your mind?" His long fingers picked up the plate in front of him, shifting it closer to Ji Nuan in case she could not reach.

Ji Nuan then returned to herself. She raised her head to meet his amused gaze, and when she looked down, she saw all her favorite dishes were placed in front of her.

She placed her chopsticks down to speak, "I plan to buy some books on corporate management to learn at home. Do you have any good books to recommend?"

Mo Jingshen picked up the glass on the table, lowering his head to drink a sip. Somehow, his graceful gesture made it seem like he was drinking a glass of red wine rather than just water.

The man then unhurriedly said, "It's only a two hundred million investment. Has it brought that much stress to you? You even have to buy books to learn corporate management?"

Why did she feel that he was mocking her...

Ji Nuan picked up her chopsticks once more, placing a bite of vegetables in her mouth. She said unhappily, "Why does it sound like the great CEO Mo is looking down on people, ah? Are you the only one who can turn fifty million into three billion within three years? Can't I be more capable than you?"

Mo Jingshen chuckled as he stared at her. "Instead of looking at a book, why not look at a person. If there is any difficult problem, just ask me. Isn't that more effective than using a book?"
