Chapter 191 Choice
The sound of the back rap in the room turned into the sound of nails scraping on the skin. Ning Chunyan rested his forehead on his arm, lying on the massage bed, and his facial expression could not be seen clearly.

An Younan stared at her sideways, as if waiting for the rather offensive words to end. After a long while of no response from Ning Chunyan, she grabbed the goblet beside her and took a sip of the scarlet liquid inside.

The room is filled with aroma, and the mist from the humidifier makes the place feel like the south of the Yangtze River in March. The climate is also very warm and very soothing.

Ning Chunyan asked: "What makes you feel this way?"

An Younan put down the red wine glass and smiled lightly: "I am also a girl, I also understand this kind of subtle possessiveness. I offered such good conditions, good for both you and him. But you didn't give in. I can't think of any other reason except that you like him."

The curtain moved, and the aunt came in, unscrewed the cap of the essential oil bottle, moistened her hands, and then applied it to Ning Chunyan's smooth back. It was icy and cold, and Ning Chunyan hummed softly.

She said: "I admit that I like him. I like a person whose face I have never seen, whose identity I don't know, and who knows nothing about except his writing. It's funny, isn't it?"

"I don't think so. To put it bluntly, what does the relationship between people mean? Some people just glanced at my retouched photo on the billboard and casually said 'forever'; some people just heard the voice of the virtual anchor and went crazy for her; there are people in the world who regard fictional characters as their wives. Can you believe it?

"Ms. Ning, you have only seen his writings, so what? At least you have touched his soul through his writings. Although there is no distinction between high and low in feelings, your feelings are much purer than the superficial affection on the surface."

Ning Chunyan was still facing the massage bed, her expression couldn't be seen, but her ears were red.

An Younan added: "Also, don't call me Miss An, just call me Xiaonan."

"But Xiaonan, I really didn't lie to you. Based on my understanding of him, if I showed even a little tendency to expose my identity to him, he would quickly delete me and never contact me again. He is so cautious."

An Younan stared exaggeratedly: "But, that's Xunyi's senior consultant! Do you know how tempting that contract is? Do you know how many people dream of selling their souls in exchange for such a job? It's just exposing my identity. I don't believe that the little prince won't be tempted."

Ning Chunyan turned to look at her and frowned: "Why are you so persistent in trying to dig the little prince away?"

An Younan lay down: "Didn't I say it before? Xunyi's new layout needs a literary signboard."

"Don't you already have Gu Zao? Isn't that why you want to be his apprentice? From the perspective of literary status, Gu Zao far exceeds the little prince."

An Younan forced out a teasing smile: "Sister Ning, you underestimate our Xunyi. Do you think I just poached people out of my own preference? Xunyi has a dedicated marketing and public opinion analysis department.

"I respect Mr. Gu Zao very much, but to be honest, comparing Mr. Gu Zao with the Little Prince in terms of IP value is like comparing a matchstick to a towering tree."

Ning Chunyan asked with his eyes, is the difference that big?
"The difference is so huge that we didn't believe it before, until the Little Prince's 'Shikongzhan' became popular again," An Younan said. "Our department later calculated and issued a report. The specific analysis process is very complicated. I can only tell you the result - if we market Mr. Gu Zao to achieve the appeal of the Little Prince during his first two popular stages, we will have to invest at least 1260 million RMB."

silence.

An Younan took another sip of red wine and began to conclude his speech: "The gap between Gu Zao and the little prince is a gap of 1260 million RMB."

After a long feast, Ning Chunyan said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "But the Xunyi family is big and powerful..."

"Yes, Xunyi is a big company. They spent 15 billion on marketing last year, but our money didn't come from the flood. We spend a few million to sign the little prince, and we can save half a hundred million. It's a good deal."

Ning Chunyan said: "Sure enough, my thinking can't keep up with your capital's thinking."

"The calculations are the same, but the numbers are scary."

"Is the little prince really that important?" Ning Chunyan finally turned to look at her. "If Qingyan fails, it won't matter to Xunyi. But if Wen Ai loses the little prince, she will have nothing."

"Do you have feelings for Wen Ai?"

"No. But I feel the little prince likes it there."

After she finished speaking, she saw the expression on An Younan's face and added, "He never told me that. But I feel like he likes it there. Pure feeling."

An Younan shook the red wine glass, and the scarlet liquid swirled at the bottom of the glass. She thought for a long time before she said:
"You still don't understand. Not having Qingyan doesn't matter to Xunyi, but not having Wen Ai is very important to Xunyi."

“Must business be wiped out?”

"To kill your opponent completely is the greatest mercy you can show to your opponent. Whose famous saying is this?"

“The Three-Body Problem.”

"Well, Mr. Santi is right."

An Younan had not read The Three-Body Problem, but Ning Chunyan did not want to correct her. "Sister Ning," An Younan said again, "I do not deny your feelings for the little prince, but from the beginning, all I heard seemed to be 'I think' and 'I feel', and I did not hear the little prince's thoughts.

"Shouldn't you leave it to the little prince to decide? What a pity it would be if he didn't know that he had such a good opportunity?"

If this was a negotiation between two women, then the balance of victory had completely tipped towards the other side.

The fact is that human beings will only feel regret when they know what they have missed. The Little Prince can be a free cloud all his life, shining brightly in the blue sky, without any sadness for having the opportunity to become a senior consultant of Xunyi.

But Ning Chun Banquet. She didn't want to keep asking herself "What did I do back then" many years later. She agreed with An Younan in that she also felt that the decision should be left to the little prince himself.

If you have a choice, you will bear the responsibility. If you have the final choice, you will bear the final responsibility. Ning Chunyan cannot bear the life responsibility of the little prince.

"I will help you convey your message to the little prince. As for whether he wants to have further contact with you, I will leave it all to him to decide."

An Younan looked up at her and said, "Please speak to me in a more, uh, polite and humble way. I respect him very much."

Ning Chunyan stared at her for a while, then finally smiled and shook his head. If An Younan respected the little prince, then the big bad wolf could also be said to respect the little fat sheep.

This woman clearly regarded the little prince as a rare and precious prey.

"I'm going out."

"Sister Ning, please walk slowly. I'm a little sleepy and want to lie down here for a while. Auntie, help me put on the eye mask and turn down the air conditioner speed."

Ning Chunyan lifted the curtain, opened the closet, put on her clothes, picked up the royal blue high heels on the ground, hooked them on her feet, and then went out. The two aunts followed her out and closed the door tightly.

...Wang Zixu hid in another dark clothing closet under the screen wall. His upper and lower teeth involuntarily knocked against each other, making a sound similar to the sound of an airplane's wings taking off.

He was almost frightened to death.

If he had chosen the cabinet next door when he was hiding just now, if it was An Younan instead of Ning Chunyan who came out first, if Ning Chunyan had opened the cabinet door and taken away the one on his side as well... With so many ifs, even if just one of them happened, he would face his own social death.

A huge amount of information was swirling in his mind, one wave after another. He was at a loss and began to regret eavesdropping on this secret conversation.

If he had heard the news from Qiu Ge step by step, he could have made a decision calmly, but he knew so much inside information in advance, so he was faced with a choice: Should he tell Zuo Ziliang? Should he tell Ye Lan? Should he choose Wen Ai, or choose to cash in the 1260 million difference?

Many choices. As Ning Chunyan thought, these choices made him bear the ultimate responsibility. If he didn't know, then he had no responsibility. But now he knew.

His legs were still weak. He left the closet carefully, and the thin silk stockings were taken out of the closet and laid on the carpet like a snake's skin; a large bra was hanging on his shoulders.

He stuffed An Younan's clothes back into the closet and gently closed it. Then he tiptoed to the door and gently pressed the door handle down without letting the bolt make any sound.

At this moment, a voice startled him again.

"Auntie."

An Younan heard the door lock click and she thought it was her aunt coming back.

"Auntie, come here." An Younan thought the other party didn't hear him, so he called out, "Please turn down the air conditioner speed a level."

Only a fool would not leave. Wang Zixu quickly pressed the door handle down, but the door did not move at all.

Locked inside.

Although the spa on the rooftop of Galaxy City is not the highest-end one, it is also a private high-end custom-made one - even the door is included.

This is a burglar-proof wooden door. If you lift the door handle from the outside, the door will be locked and cannot be opened with a key. If you want to open it from the inside, you only need to lift the door handle up in the same way and it will open.

When An Younan has a spa, it is usually accompanied by an AMSR package. After the treatment, she has to sleep soundly for a sleep cycle and then be woken up by the technician. When doing the spa, she relaxes her whole body without wearing any clothes. For the sake of privacy, this kind of door that can be locked from the outside is her requirement.

This is not a very high-end design, but Wang Zixu was so panicked at the moment that he did not even think of lifting the door handle. He pushed the door hard a few times, his face flushed, but it was of no avail.

"Auntie?" An Younan's voice behind the curtain was suspicious, "Didn't you hear it?"
