After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 161

An Nuan spent the whole night being ordered around by Ye Jinghuai.

By the end, she had truly become numb. Whenever he turned over, she would reflexively sit up in bed and then wait for his order to either get water or go to the bathroom.

Until.

The morning alarm rang.

An Nuan felt like death as she crawled out of bed.

She felt like she hadn't gotten a good hour of sleep the entire night.

And now she had to go to work.

While the man who had tormented her slept like a log.

At that moment, she really wanted to strangle him.

Yet when she got up to get out of bed, she still carefully made sure not to wake him.

This Ye Jinghuai man was simply a demon.

Clearly she hated him to no end, yet she still couldn't bear to hurt him.

An Nuan swallowed her anger as she went to wash up and get dressed and put on makeup before leaving.

She was as quiet as could be when she left the bedroom and closed the door.

She went downstairs.

Uncle Zhong had already prepared breakfast for her.

"Good morning, Madam." Uncle Zhong was always very respectful to her.

"Good morning, Uncle Zhong." An Nuan gave a faint smile.

She sat at the dining table, eating breakfast while looking at news on her phone.

Her eyes suddenly froze at that moment.

"Xingyao Mall enters Qing City with dominance, building comprehensive high-end shopping area."

Based on her sensitivity to the market, An Nuan clicked to read the full article.

The Xingyao Group was originally a chain of stores for the masses. Its supermarkets were all over the country and well known among ordinary consumers. Over the years, it had never entered the high-end consumer market or built any so-called shopping areas. Its business model was always to take over department stores in existing shopping areas and monopolize groceries. In An Nuan's memory, at least in the past decade, she had never heard of Xingyao Group wanting to build its own shopping area.

And she remembered the chairman of Xingyao Group was surnamed Tong.

An Nuan quickly exited the news app and opened a web encyclopedia, searching for Xingyao Group.

The chairman was Tong Limin. His children...second daughter Tong Zhitong.

An Nuan understood instantly.

She opened the news app again and carefully checked the address of the shopping area Tong Zhitong wanted to build. It was at the metro station right after Guangming Building's station. In other words, the geographical location of the shopping area Xingyao Group wanted to build was clearly superior to Guangming Building. And now they were starting powerful publicity from the beginning, especially using Xingyao's accumulated customer traffic over the years operating its chain of supermarkets. It would be easy for them to crush Guangming Building which was still an "uncompleted building".

An Nuan's expression was clearly a bit ugly.

Tong Zhitong was deliberately opposing her!

She had to admire this woman.

Rather than resorting to underhanded means, she was opposing An Nuan outright!

It seemed she was very confident.

An Nuan ate her breakfast quickly without wasting a second, then headed to the company.

Once she knew someone was deliberately targeting her, many strategies would need to change.

When she arrived at her office, Luo Si was already waiting for her.

She hurriedly reported, "I just saw the news that Xingyao Group is going to build a shopping area around Guangming Building. They're already heavily promoting it on all media, attracting many businesses' attention. I feel Xingyao's actions this time will have a huge impact on our Guangming Building. Once Xingyao successfully builds it, they'll siphon all our customer traffic away. Then it'll be very difficult for Guangming Building to attract tenants."

An Nuan nodded.

She understood very clearly.

She even understood very clearly that Tong Zhitong knew about her wager with the company's executives, so she deliberately disrupted An Nuan's rhythm at this time. In any case, whether or not Xingyao Mall succeeded, releasing this news now could effectively hinder her tenant recruitment. This way, the three to six month timeframe would pass quickly, and An Nuan would be kicked out of An's Group. Tong Zhitong might not even need to actually build Xingyao Mall. She wouldn't need to spend any effort or money to ruin An Nuan.

An Nuan gave a cold laugh.

It was quite a good scheme.

An Nuan's eyes turned. "No matter what Xingyao does, tell Du Juan, Meng Qiming and Wang Chenglei to proceed as planned."

"Yes."

Luo Si left.

An Nuan sat in her office chair. In the end, she didn't have as much confidence as she had let on to Luo Si.

After all, her time was limited.

She couldn't afford to play time games.

So she couldn't just wait passively. She could only take initiative to attack.

She was thinking about how to make businesses choose them without being influenced by Xingyao Group.

In the afternoon,

Du Juan knocked and entered.

"Boss An." Her voice was clearly a bit urgent.

"Hm." An Nuan looked at Du Juan.

"Yesterday I submitted an application to the Advertising Department for them to arrange all advertising and promotions for us. But I just got their reply that the request is denied." Du Juan spoke quickly and anxiously.

"Why?"

"Their reason is that doing marketing for Guangming Building now would be a waste of resources. Xingyao Group building a shopping area has huge impact on Guangming Building, so doing promotions now would be wasteful. Businesses are in wait-and-see mode and won't choose us immediately. By the time they start choosing, our promotions will have passed peak time. The Advertising Department suggested we do relevant promotions later, observe the market situation for now, and see how things unfold."

The reasoning made complete sense.

An Nuan immediately stood up from her office chair. "Go to the Advertising Department director now. I want to discuss with him personally."

"Yes." Du Juan hurried to follow her.

An Nuan left.

An Xiao just watched An Nuan's aggressive retreating figure.

She smiled coldly.

She immediately called her dad, "I think An Nuan went to the Advertising Department. I heard they rejected her advertising application."

An YanKun laughed coldly. Of course he knew it would be rejected.

After all, he had arranged it.

How could he let An Nuan succeed so smoothly?

"Good, I know now." An YanKun said cunningly, "Your top priority now is recruiting allies. I'll handle other things."

"Yes."

An YanKun hung up, naturally in a very good mood.

Although he had been determined not to let An Nuan succeed, he still lacked some confidence because of An Nuan's sudden burst of ability.

Just when he was at a loss, he didn't expect someone to take initiative to partner with him!
