Chapter 1624 Encounter
Chapter 1624 Encounter
Lu Feng stood in the center of the office, his gaze slowly sweeping around to confirm that no one else was present except for Nan Weiwei and Xiao Mei.
His brows furrowed slightly, a helpless expression appearing on his face. He couldn't help but sigh softly, the sigh sounding particularly clear in the quiet office.
Xiao Mei was standing to the side when she heard Lu Feng sigh. Curious, she tilted her head and asked with concern, "Brother Lu, what's wrong? Did you encounter some problem?" Her voice was clear and melodious, with a hint of playfulness.
Lu Feng snapped out of his reverie, looked at Xiao Mei, forced a smile, and said, "Well, it's like this, there's a document here that's urgent and needs to be sent out immediately. But I have an online meeting about to start, and I really can't get away. Which of you can help me with this?"
His eyes held a hint of expectation, hoping that Xiaomei or Nanwei would agree to help.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei raised her hand without hesitation, a confident smile on her face, and said, "Brother Lu, I'll go. Where should I deliver it? Don't worry about it, I guarantee I'll complete the task!"
His eyes gleamed with determination, as if he were ready to meet the challenge.
Lu Feng was touched by Xiao Mei's enthusiasm, but he still hesitated. He paused and said, "Um... this document is a bit important. It would be troublesome if something went wrong on the way."
His words revealed a hint of worry, after all, this document was related to the company's interests and could not be taken lightly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei immediately patted her chest and assured him, "Brother Lu, it's alright. I guarantee that as long as the documents are there, I'm here; if the documents are lost, I'm gone! Just tell me, where do you want to send them?"
Her tone was resolute, and her eyes were filled with determination, as if this document were as important as her life.
Lu Feng was amused by Xiao Mei's bold words. He shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that serious, but this document is indeed very important."
He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, but in the end he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at Nan Weiwei beside him with a slightly hesitant and uneasy look in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he finally took a deep breath and slowly said, "That... is an acquaintance... it's the Nan... Nan Group." His voice was so soft that it seemed only he could hear it.
Xiao Mei was initially full of confidence, but upon hearing the words "Nan's Group," her smile instantly froze, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
She stammered, "I suddenly remembered that I... I still have a design drawing to finish. That design drawing is due tomorrow, and time is very tight. I have to go back and finish it right away, or it will be too late."
Her voice grew softer and softer, and she lowered her head, not daring to look Lu Feng in the eye.
Seeing Xiao Mei's sudden change in attitude, Lu Feng understood that Xiao Mei was giving Nan Weiwei a chance.
He turned his gaze to Nan Weiwei, hoping she could help.
However, Nan Weiwei acted as if she hadn't heard anything, and sat down at her desk, turned on her computer, and began to work attentively.
Her gaze was focused and calm, as if everything around her was irrelevant to her.
Looking at Nan Weiwei's indifferent back, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But he also knew that Nan Weiwei had just experienced a setback in her relationship and was definitely in a bad mood, so it was understandable that she didn't want to help.
He shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards his office, intending to find another way to solve the problem of document delivery.
"Senior Lu, um... I'll go. The meeting is important. Can you tell me how to do it?"
Nan hesitated for a moment. She had just gone through a complicated relationship with Nan Yifeng and was still feeling tired and conflicted. She didn't want to have any more contact with people or things related to Nan Yifeng.
But seeing Lu Feng's anxious and helpless expression, and considering how important the online meeting he was about to hold was, she finally softened, bit her lip, and mustered up her courage to speak.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a firm tone, and her eyes were full of sincerity.
Lu Feng was slightly taken aback when he heard Nan Weiwei's words, and then a look of surprise and gratitude appeared on his face.
He quickly checked the time, his brows relaxed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Weiwei, here's what you do: get it right now. Yifeng shouldn't be at the company right now. I just saw him post on his WeChat Moments; he's out discussing a project. Just give it to his secretary and tell him the situation."
His tone carried a hint of relief, as if he had solved a major problem.
"That simple?" Nan Wei frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask.
She thought to herself, if it was just a matter of handing the documents to the secretary, why would Lu Feng be in such a hurry? There must be some other hidden reason.
Lu Feng smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and said, "How could that be! This document was originally supposed to be signed by Yi Feng before being returned to me, but for some reason, he is not in the company."
"But the matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. If we have to wait for him to return before we can sign the relevant documents and make a final decision, it will probably waste a lot of valuable time and even lead to serious consequences... So after careful consideration, I have to take some special measures to solve this thorny problem—that is, to process these documents in a special way first!"
"Tell his secretary that you've finished delivering and are leaving now. There's no need to wait for the signature. Once Yi Feng returns and signs it, have his people deliver it as soon as possible. If the meeting is delayed, a lot of subsequent work won't be able to proceed smoothly, which could cause considerable losses."
As Lu Feng spoke, he spread his hands, his face full of anxiety, as if time was urging him on second by second.
After listening to Lu Feng's words, Nan Weiwei realized the seriousness of the matter.
She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Senior Lu, I understand. I'll go right away and get it done as soon as possible."
Her eyes revealed a sense of responsibility, as if she had taken on an important mission.
Lu Feng looked at Nan Weiwei gratefully and said, "Weiwei, thank you so much. I really don't know what I would have done without you. I'll treat you to dinner after the meeting."
His face beamed with a genuine smile, and his eyes were filled with gratitude and trust for Nan Weiwei.
Nan smiled slightly and said, "Senior Lu, there's no need to be so polite. We're all from the same company, so helping each other out is only natural. I'll be going now."
After speaking, she picked up the documents, turned, and walked towards the door. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if she were facing everything that was about to happen with fearless courage.
Watching Nan Weiwei's departing figure, Lu Feng felt uneasy.
"Sigh, how did two perfectly fine people end up like this?"
Lu Feng stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on Nan Weiwei's receding figure, which gradually blurred at the end of the corridor until it disappeared completely.
He couldn't help but sigh softly, a sigh filled with regret and helplessness, as if carrying an unspeakable heaviness.
In his memory, Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng were such a loving couple. Their time together was always filled with sweetness and warmth. At that time, they only had eyes for each other, as if the whole world revolved around them.
But now, they have come to part ways. The changes that have occurred are like a sudden storm, shattering everything that was once beautiful into pieces.
Nan Weiwei walked slowly toward the company gate, each step feeling like she was stepping on cotton, soft and weak, without any strength.
Her heart was filled with turmoil and hesitation. After the breakup, she deliberately avoided everything related to Nan Yifeng and never met him again.
Although Lu Feng said that Nan Yifeng was out negotiating projects, things in this world are always full of variables, and unexpected things may happen.
What if he suddenly comes back and we run into each other without any warning? How awkward would that be?
Her mind involuntarily drifted to memories of her time with Nan Yifeng—the laughter and tears, the wonderful moments they shared—which flashed before her eyes like a movie.
But now, all of that is in the past, like a distant dream, leaving only emptiness and loneliness upon waking.
She didn't know what expression she should wear when she saw Nan Yifeng again—would she be indifferent, angry, or pretend nothing was wrong? Behind every expression lay the deep pain and helplessness in her heart.
Her hands gripped the document to be sent to the Nan Group tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Every word on the document felt like a needle, piercing her heart.
How she wished time could turn back, back to when they were still in love, when they had no arguments, no misunderstandings, only each other's companionship and warmth.
But reality is so cruel; it ruthlessly separated them, causing them to go further and further apart on their respective paths in life.
Standing in front of the company gate, Nan Weiwei took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She told herself that since she had already chosen to break up, she had to face everything bravely.
Even if you do meet Nan Yifeng, you should act calmly and not let him see your inner vulnerability and reluctance.
She slowly lifted her foot and stepped out of the company gate. The sunlight shone on her, but it could not dispel the gloom in her heart.
She walked step by step toward the Nan Group.
Nan lowered her head slightly, her gaze falling on the exquisite watch on her wrist, its dial shimmering with a soft luster in the sunlight.
This watch was also a gift from Nan Yifeng; it's a limited edition.
She checked the time carefully; there was still some time before she had to start work in the afternoon.
Based on past experience, at this time, former colleagues are most likely still taking their lunch break and won't come to the company this early.
Thinking of this, she felt a little more at ease, at least she wouldn't have to face those concerned or curious gazes as soon as she entered the company.
She stood at the elevator entrance, hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath. The fresh air entered her body through her nostrils, seemingly carrying an invisible force that gave her courage. She slowly stepped into the elevator.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, she felt as if she had entered a small space isolated from the outside world, and she couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.
Fortunately, the elevator was empty; there wasn't a single person inside.
Her tense nerves relaxed instantly, and she leaned against the elevator wall, letting out a long sigh of relief. It would have been so awkward if she'd run into someone she knew from work.
She could almost picture the scene: standing face-to-face with an acquaintance in a cramped elevator, receiving concerned glances and questions, yet unsure how to respond.
She really didn't want to explain the things about her breakup with Nan Yifeng over and over again. Every explanation felt like reopening her wounds and making her feel that excruciating pain again.
She stood quietly in the elevator, her eyes fixed on the constantly changing floor numbers, but her thoughts drifted far away.
She recalled the time she and Nan Yifeng rode in the elevator together. Back then, they always stood close together, chatting and laughing, as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them.
Every inch of the elevator was filled with their sweetness and happiness.
But now, everything has changed, and she is left standing here all alone, facing the cold elevator wall.
"Ding—" The elevator's arrival time signal interrupted her thoughts. She snapped back to reality, straightened her clothes and hair, and tried to appear calm.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and the soft "ding" sound was like a key to unlocking an unknown world, causing Nan Weiwei to instinctively and habitually walk quickly out.
Her steps were hurried and somewhat flustered, as if she wanted to escape this small, enclosed space as soon as possible and go to a place where she could feel at ease.
She had only taken two steps when her light steps came to an abrupt halt, as if an invisible force had frozen her in place.
Her eyes widened instantly, her face filled with shock and astonishment, and her heart clenched as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
There was a group of people standing outside the elevator! They were lined up neatly, each with a serious expression, and the atmosphere seemed rather heavy.
And the one leading the group was none other than Nan Yifeng! He was wearing a sharp, dark suit that fit him perfectly, making him look as tall and straight as a pine tree.
His hair was meticulously combed, revealing a smooth forehead. His features were deep and three-dimensional, and his eyes were sharp and steady, as if they held endless wisdom and strategy.
His expression was cold and stern, devoid of any superfluous emotion, and he exuded an aura of unquestionable authority.
Nan Weiwei stood there blankly, her mind going completely blank, as if time itself had frozen in that moment.
She felt her breathing become rapid, her chest heaving violently, and her heart pounding wildly in her chest cavity, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
Her hands clenched unconsciously, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her palms were sweaty and damp.
She looked at Nan Yifeng, her eyes filled with complex emotions—surprise, panic, and a hint of barely concealed pain.
All those beautiful memories flooded back to her, the happy times they spent together, those sweet moments, now felt like sharp knives, piercing her heart.
But now, they stand in this situation, speechless, as if separated by an insurmountable chasm.
Seeing this, Nan Weiwei quickly realized that they were probably going to the conference room downstairs for a meeting.
Those people were all holding documents and materials, their eyes focused and serious, their steps steady and orderly, clearly well-prepared for an important meeting.
Nan Weiwei stood there, unsure whether to go forward or retreat, so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into the ground. She didn't know how to face Nan Yifeng, nor what expression or tone to use to greet him.
Her body trembled slightly, and her legs felt weak, as if she might collapse to the ground at any moment.
She tried to calm herself down, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm her chaotic thoughts, but her wildly beating heart just wouldn't stop.
