Chapter 616 Threaten her?
Chapter 616 Threaten her?
In Ancheng, nominally there is a Chamber of Commerce, but things are different now. There is a person with stronger abilities. Whether in business, money, or power, this person is secretly driving the economic development of Ancheng.
Chu Xiong was successfully elected this time, and he knew very well that without Lu Jingshen's help, his position would be in jeopardy.
Taking advantage of the promotion of cooperation between the two parties and the New Year approaching, Chu Xiong took the opportunity of the company's annual meeting to personally invite Lu Jingshen and his wife to attend the annual meeting.
Lin Jiaran held Lu Jingshen's arm, and Zuo Meng, his assistant, also attended the banquet.
Before he reached the door, Chu Xiong, who was waiting at the door, took the initiative to come forward and greeted him with a smile.
When they walked in, there was warm air inside, so Lin Jiaran took off her coat. Lu Jingshen took the coat and put it around his wrist.
Lu Jingshen's dark suit has smooth lines and fits his body perfectly. The black suit perfectly matches his deep, restrained and elegant temperament.
Lin Jiaran wore a neo-Chinese style white tassel dress with an exquisite and sparkling halter neck that outlined her superior swan neck. The combination of shining tassels and geometric lace showed the beauty of time and her soft style. She had no heavy makeup and her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Today's outfit still showed off her unique and stunning beauty.
As soon as the two of them walked into the cocktail party, they attracted a lot of attention. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, so people couldn't help but whisper that the two were a match made in heaven, so well-matched, and their temperaments were comparable.
Chu Nanxin, who was originally talking to other people, came over and greeted Lin Jiaran.
Chu Xiong had been chatting with Lu Jingshen about business topics, while Lin Jiaran and Chu Nanxin walked away while chatting.
The annual meeting was held at New Power, and attendees included various employees of the company, as well as the company's shareholders and some partners.
The soothing background music creates an elegant atmosphere as the annual meeting is in full swing.
Everyone present was dressed in fancy clothes, holding wine glasses, moving between the beautifully decorated booths, and communicating in low voices.
"There will be a fireworks show outside soon. Do you want to go and see it?" Chu Nanxin said as she walked beside Lin Jiaran.
"Fireworks show? Let's go see it!"
"I know there's an observation deck. It's cold outside, how about we go upstairs and take a look?"
"I can do it."
After hearing Lin Jiaran's agreement, Chu Nanxin smiled and led Lin Jiaran in the direction she said.
Lu Jingshen was surrounded by several CEOs who were also shareholders of the new force. While talking to them, his eyes locked onto his target over the crowd. He saw Lin Jiaran and Chu Nanxin leaving in an unknown direction and gradually disappearing from his sight.
Lu Jingshen handed the coat on his wrist to Zuo Meng and winked at him.
Zuo Meng took the coat and followed in the direction Lin Jiaran left.
Walking upstairs, you can see through the glass that colorful fireworks are gradually blooming outside.
This floor is a leisure area with sofas, chairs and a bar.
There are fireworks outside, but here you can't hear any extra noise from fireworks, you can only see fireworks all over the sky.
"It's really nice to watch the fireworks here!" Lin Jiaran said as she walked to the glass window and looked outside.
Chu Nanxin poured two glasses of juice and handed one to Lin Jiaran.
The two stood in front of the window together.
"Did my sister say anything to you in Jingyuan that day?"
"nothing."
"She knows about our past disagreements. Don't mind it. That's just my sister's personality."
"It's nothing. I'm actually quite envious of you for being such a good sister. Unlike me, I don't have any brothers or sisters."
The two had just exchanged a few words when Zuo Meng appeared with a coat.
Zuo Meng handed over his coat and had no intention of leaving. Lin Jiaran took it and said, "I'll stay here for a while. You go down first."
"Ok."
Zuo Meng left, Lin Jiaran stood in front of the window looking at the beautiful fireworks, Chu Nanxin stood beside her.
The lights suddenly went out and the room became dark.
"Why isn't the light on?"
The fireworks gradually died down, making the room even darker.
"I'm going to see what's going on."
Hearing Chu Nanxin's footsteps leaving in the dark, Lin Jiaran stood there.
There was no rule about cell phones at the dinner, and she had nothing on her that could illuminate.
The footsteps were getting farther and farther away. In the darkness, Lin Jiaran raised her arm and pressed the bracelet on her hand, and the bracelet glowed.
After a while, hearing slight footsteps, Lin Jiaran immediately turned off the lights and stood still.
The sound is getting closer.
Lin Jiaran asked: "What happened? Is there a power outage?"
"There is a power outage. Let's wait here for a while." Chu Nanxin replied.
Lin Jiaran sat down on the sofa in the dark. During the conversation, Chu Nanxin slowly walked to the sofa.
"I remember that you were scared once because of a power outage in the dormitory at school. Are you okay now?" Chu Nanxin asked softly.
"When will the call come?" Lin Jiaran asked again in an anxious voice.
"It should be soon."
Lin Jiaran didn't say anything else.
After about half a minute of silence, Chu Nanxin spoke up, "The power outage now reminds me of the power outage at school. I was also afraid of the dark, but luckily Qingyan was with me at that time."
"Did Zhang Qingyan really have any experience like what we saw in the photos?"
"I don't know. I don't know who sent those photos to my house. I suspected that it had something to do with you, so I asked you about it. I'm very sorry about this. I tested you because Qingyan is my best friend." Chu Nanxin said in a very low voice. There was a hint of crying in her voice, as if she was sad about something.
"You have seen the photo. The person in it is Qingyan. She looks miserable. Since I received the photo, I often dream about her injured appearance. It is very scary. She said in her dream that she turned into a ghost..."
"Can you please stop talking? I'm afraid of ghosts..." Lin Jiaran spoke in a frightened voice.
"I'm sorry, I just got emotional at the moment."
"There seems to be someone behind you!" Chu Nanxin suddenly said in a frightened voice.
"Where is that person? Why didn't I see him?"
"Didn't you see it? I saw it. It looked like Qingyan. She had her hands raised. She was right behind you!"
Lin Jiaran said in her heart, is Chu Nanxin trying to tell her a ghost story to scare her?
Seeing that Lin Jiaran didn't say anything, Chu Nanxin continued: "Did you see it?"
"I seem to see Zhang Qingyan behind you, right behind you..." Lin Jiaran said in a panicked voice.
At this time, there were footsteps coming one after another, and it sounded like Zuo Meng and Lu Jingshen were talking outside.
Chu Nanxin stood up from the sofa, walked to Lin Jiaran, grabbed one of Lin Jiaran's arms in the dark and put it around her neck, shouting for help.
Lin Jiaran was confused by this sudden action and didn't know how to start.
What was Chu Nanxin trying to do? She actually grabbed her arm and strangled herself!
