During di
er, Nan Ruo purposely stayed with her teammates.
Xiao Jingnian's secretary walked over, "Captain Nan, our Director Xiao is looking for you. He said he wants to discuss some official matters with you."
Nan Ruo reluctantly put down the compressed biscuits and stood up to say, "You guys eat slowly. Do what you need to do after you're done."
"Got it."
Nan Ruo walked to the entrance of Xiao Jingnian's tent.
Secretary Fang gave her a folding chair. "Captain Nan, please take a seat."
Nan Ruo nodded to her secretary and sat opposite Xiao Jingnian.
Xiao Jingnian said to the secretary, "Go and eat."
After Fang Zishuo left, he picked up a piece of dessert and passed it to Nan Ruo.
Nan Ruo waved her hand. "Thanks, I'm full. "Director Xiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Since our group is moving a lot slower, then should we be unable to complete the mission according to the expected time?"
Nan Ruo nodded. "That's the principle."
"I have an event on Sunday afternoon. I have to go back at the scheduled time."
Nan Ruo frowned, "Director Xiao, this might be difficult. If I were to force everyone to travel more every day, I'm afraid no one would be able to do it."
"So, I should give up on the order of billions?"
Nan Ruo was a bit a
oyed. "Since Director Xiao is so busy, you shouldn't come out and join our team. There are always a lot of variables in outdoor activities."
"Are you accusing me?"
Nan Ruo cast a sidelong glance. "I didn't mean that."
"Then come up with a plan to get out of here by noon on Sunday."
Nan Ruo looked at Xiao Jingnian. He was clearly trying to make things difficult for her.
If he wanted to leave on time, he had to speed up.
However, dragging such a group of people ??
That's right, "Nan Ruo suddenly thought of something," Director Xiao's request is not impossible to fulfill. Tomorrow morning, I will have the camel take you first.
Xiao Jingnian looked over: "That big guy?"
Nan Ruo scratched her forehead. "Yes."
"Find the best if you want. He can't do it, you can do it."
Nan Ruo was shocked. "I can't do it."
"Why?"
"There are still so many members here, I'm the captain, I have to ??"
"There are so many members here, but they're not as expensive as me. The ones who need the best are either you to bring me out ahead of time or to dawdle together. But if my business gets affected, you take responsibility."
Nan Ruo said in a speechless ma
er, "Why should I be responsible?"
"It is your problem that you ca
ot finish the expedition at the scheduled time. If something happens to us during the process, and you are not responsible as the Guild Leader, do you need me to take responsibility? "
Nan Ruo stared at him for a long time. She had never thought that he would be so unreasonable.
As expected, people should not understand each other too deeply.
She stood up and said, "Alright, I'll take you out. I'll call you to leave at five in the morning."
"Sure."
"If Director Xiao has nothing else, can I get busy?"
Xiao Jingnian smiled proudly as he swept the back of his hand.
Slightly depressed, Nan Ruo turned around and left.
Back in line, she told the team about it.
The team members actually had no objections to this matter.
The camel gossiped, "Captain Nan, I think this Director Xiao looks at you strangely. Maybe he is interested in you?"
Nan Ruo slapped the back of his head mercilessly.
He resisted, "Captain Nan, I'm really going to have a concussion."
"You deserved it. If you can't control your mouth, your head will suffer."
She got up for the final security check.
Piao Liang made a face at the camel. "Serves you right."
The camel clicked its tongue. These two weren't women.
Seeing the scene not far away, Xiao Jingnian could not help but smile, turned around and entered the tent, and closed the door.
That night, because they had moved to another campsite, Nan Ruo was worried and didn't sleep well. She got up and patrolled the area several times.
At five o'clock, when her cell phone rang, she got up immediately.
She came to the door of Xiao Jingnian's tent and called out softly, "Director Xiao, it's time to wake up."
"Okay." The voice that came from inside the tent was very clear, and didn't seem like it had just been woken up.
Hearing his answer, Nan Ruo went back to brush her teeth, wipe her face, and skillfully put away the tent.
After everything was ready, she came to the entrance of Xiao Jingnian's tent once again.
Xiao Jingnian was packing up his tent. She thought he wouldn't, but she never expected him to do it well.
In order to not waste time, she chose to help.
"Director Xiao, Secretary Fang, aren't you coming with us?"
"I don't need him tomorrow afternoon, so he'll stay with the team."
"If secretaries are different, then you'll have to carry this bag yourself."
Xiao Jingnian looked at her indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't let you carry this bag."
The two of them left after a simple breakfast.
Nan Ruo walked rather quickly because she was an hour and a half late yesterday.
Xiao Jingnian was impressed as he followed behind.
This woman looked thin and weak, but her stamina was quite good.
At noon, the two of them rested by a riverbank.
Nan Ruo drank a few mouthfuls of water and then said to Xiao Jingnian, "Director Xiao, you should eat first. You should rest for half an hour before we depart."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to the river for a while."
As she spoke, she walked to the riverbank.
It was because they were going a bit slower this time that they had the chance to come and relax by the river.
One had to say, the environment here was quite good.
She bent over and put her hand in the trickling water. The water was warm and comfortable.
Hearing a voice behind her, she knew that it was Xiao Jingnian.
She pulled her hand away and stood up.
"Director Xiao, why did you come as well?"
"The scenery here is pretty good."
Nan Ruo looked around before nodding.
Xiao Jingnian crossed his arms and looked at her: "You said before that you didn't have much contact with Nan Kui?"
Nan Ruo's heart tightened. Why was this matter brought up again?
"Yes."
Xiao Jingnian smiled, but didn't ask any further questions. He only said, "Aren't you curious about the matter between me and Nan Kui?"
Nan Ruo looked at him, not saying a word.
"Logically speaking, as Nan Kui's elder sister, you should be curious about what her younger sister did before she died."
"If I say I'm not curious, then Director Xiao would probably say that I'm not right."
"You're strange," he said, approaching her.
Seeing him closing in, she took a step back.
However, because she was standing by the river, there were a lot of stones here.
She retreated backward, caught off guard. Her feet did not steady, causing her to fall backwards.
Luckily, Xiao Jingnian quickly pulled her and hooked his arm around her waist.
After the two of them came into contact so closely, Xiao Jingnian could smell a familiar smell in the depths of his memories.
And then he also had a feeling ??
