Chapter 2292 Starting anew

Du Xintong was very worried about the result of the interview, so when he saw Danran walking over with the documents, he smiled and said:

"Sister Danran, let me do it. If you do everything by yourself like this, how can we young ones grow up?"

Dan Ran looked at Du Xintong, who was full of flattery, and said, "What's the matter, Xiao Du?"

Du Xintong looked around and then whispered, "Sister Danran, your child is going to primary school. Shanghai International Studies University Jingxiao Primary School? I have a close friend who is from the School of Education. She has tutored several children who are now in that primary school. I asked her to prepare a set of interview questions from previous years, as well as test preparation tips. I just sent them to your email."

Danran looked at Du Xintong in front of him and had to admit that although the other party was smooth, he always managed to please Danran.

"Really, thank you, Xiao Du."

"Sister, why are you being so polite to me? Sister Danran, when will the selection of the chief assistant be announced?"

Since Danran had accepted Du Xintong's benefit, she naturally felt embarrassed to keep it secret, so she said, "Well, you can come out tomorrow, but..." She patted Du Xintong on the back, and everything was said without words.

After getting off work, Wen Nuan was preparing to go to the bus stop to take the bus and then transfer to the subway to go home as usual. However, she didn't expect to hear someone calling her when she walked to the company gate.

She looked around and found Zhao Shucheng standing there waving.

"Linlu, why are you here?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up from get off work! Speaking of which, we've been back home for three months, and I've just finished my work here, so I came to see you as a welcoming party. You won't refuse me, right?"

"Of course not! But what have you been busy with during this period? Why is there no news at all?"

"I told you before that I want to quit my job and start my own business. I have to do all the handover work myself, including selecting a location and decorating the new company, recruiting employees, etc. Haven't you seen that I have lost weight?"

Wen Nuan smiled and looked at Zhao Shucheng, saying, "Not bad, not much weight loss."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Anyway, I finally have some free time now. By the way, why did you come to work at Qianyu? If I hadn't asked your sister, I probably wouldn't have known."

"Well, I was just careless when I submitted my resume, and then they hired me. I..."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Wen Nuan who was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Ah, look at you, I think with your talent, it's a waste of talent to be a salesperson. But have you really thought about it, and want to work in Qianyu? You know, you will inevitably meet Zhan Nanxian at that time, are you really ready?"

Wen Nuan nodded and said, "Yes, I can't keep running away, right? Since I want to regain the warmth I once had, facing him directly is the best choice."

"Oh, that makes me so sad. I thought you would wait for me, so I came to find you as soon as the company was registered. It seems that I am still a step too late."

"I'm sorry, but don't worry, if I ever leave Qianyu, I will report to your company right away, is that okay?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded helplessly and said, "Since you said that, what else can I say? By the way, what do you want to eat tonight? Since I haven't officially started the company yet and I still have some money in my pocket, just order whatever you want. I may not have the chance to treat you to a big meal in the future."

"Okay, I'll eat it..."

Zhao Shucheng got into the car while talking to Wen Nuan, and left the Magic City company of Qianyu Group at full speed.

However, Wen Nuan didn't know that while she was talking to Zhao Shucheng, someone was staring at them closely and even took a picture of her and Zhao Shucheng chatting intimately with his mobile phone.

In the evening, Wen Nuan was sent home by Zhao Shucheng and sat by the window in a daze.

The conversation with the interviewer during the previous interview kept popping up in her mind. She didn't know why she blurted out that she was Zhu Linlu's girlfriend. Thinking of meeting Zhao Shucheng in the afternoon and even having dinner together, she was a little confused for a while, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

"Xiao Nuan, your phone number."

Suddenly, the gentle voice of Sister Wen Nuan came from downstairs, bringing Wen Nuan back to her senses.

"Oh, here it comes!"

Wen Nuan walked down the stairs and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Aunt Li."

Wen Nuan talked to Aunt Li on the phone. Aunt Li asked her how things were going and she told her about today's interview.

“Aunt Li, I blurted out Lin Lu’s girlfriend, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. It took you seven years to finally take this step. Take your time, follow your heart, and move forward step by step. You will find that everything will get better and better."

"Aunt Li, don't worry, I won't give up easily."

Wenrou saw her sister finish the call, hesitated for a while, walked to Wennuan, and said carefully: "Xiao Nuan, are you done talking? All these years, thanks to Aunt Li for taking care of you, otherwise how could I be at ease leaving you there alone."

Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Sister, it's been seven years. I've long been used to being alone."

Wenrou said: "I'm really not a good sister."

"What are you talking about!"

"But from now on, no matter where you go, I will accompany you."

The two sisters, who should have been close to each other, now seem a little unfamiliar, and even dare not touch warmth.

"Xiao Nuan, thank you for coming back. I'm really happy that you're back."

Wen Nuan nodded and said, "Me too!"

Wenrou lowered her head uncomfortably, with a look of self-blame on her face. Wen Nuan was like a frightened little animal, avoiding Wenrou's gaze but pretending nothing had happened, and even gave her sister a watch as a gift.

However, when Wen Nuan put it on her sister, she saw the deep scar on her sister's hand, and her eyes dimmed again.

Wenrou noticed the warm gaze and said, "It's been a long time. I've forgotten it a long time ago."

"Why don't I have any impression of this?"

"If you have no impression, that means it's not important. And you were in England at the time, how would you know?"

"You're injured like this, how can it not be important?"

Wenrou said, "Oh, it's just that I was drunk after a breakup, broke a wine glass and got cut, and I didn't expect to be left with a scar. How many times do you want me to repeat such an embarrassing thing?"

Wen Nuan looked at her sister hesitantly, feeling a little pain, but scenes emerged in her mind, as if she saw Wen Rou falling to the ground weakly, blood gushing from her wrist, and a sharp knife thrown beside her.

"Was I really abroad at the time?"

"Yes, because you were not here, Linlu took me to the hospital. If you don't believe me, you can call Linlu and ask him. That's why Linlu and I have such a good relationship. He often came to see me when you were not here."

Wenrou's tone was firm, but her eyes were a little evasive. She suddenly felt that she had said something wrong again, and said, "Oops, I forgot I still have soup. I'll go check it out first."

Suddenly, she turned around and said gently, "Xiao Nuan, thank you for the gift you gave me. I like it very much!"

Wen Nuan looked at her sister's back, but she always felt that her sister was hiding something from her. Especially when she heard her sister say that she had a good relationship with Lin Lu, her heart suddenly ached, as if she had seen it before.

The next day.

In Qianyu Company, Du Xintong was in high spirits. After all, in her opinion, although there were two competitors for the position of the president's assistant, her ability and connections meant that she was the only one who could win.

But after seeing the announcement released by the Human Resources Department, everyone was shocked. It turned out to be Nuan Wen, who had just been in the company for three months.

Du Xintong looked at Wen Nuan who was not far away, and felt as if his heart was being gnawed by bugs. Especially when he saw Wen Nuan was still so calm, he felt a little unconvinced.

She took her phone and went to the Human Resources Department to find Chi Bika and said, "Director Chi, it's not appropriate for Wen Nuan to be the president's special assistant. She has a special relationship with Zhu Linlu from Daizhong."

As he said this, he opened his phone and showed Chi Bika the photos he had taken yesterday.

Chi Bika took a look and said, "Xiao Du, Wen Nuan had already mentioned the situation you mentioned during the interview yesterday. Because of this special situation, our HR department discussed it with the president for a long time yesterday, but we don't think it will affect Wen Nuan's employment."

Du Xintong found it even harder to accept what Chi Bika said. After all, they would rather have a competitor's girlfriend be the president's special assistant than him who worked diligently in the company. This was not fair at all.

But seeing Chi Bika's unyielding attitude, she was so smooth that she naturally couldn't make a scene in the HR department, so she could only smile and say, "I also saw Zhu Linlu come to the company to pick up Wen Nuan from get off work yesterday, and I was worried that the company would be deceived. Since Wen Nuan took the initiative to explain, I am relieved. Director, I will go back first, you go ahead."

Du Xintong said as he left the HR department, with a gloomy look on his face that everyone else avoided. Du Xintong also knew that this was not a good thing for him, so he tried hard to adjust his mentality, and finally regained his smile and returned to his workstation.

Wen Nuan packed up her things and moved to the president's office on the 66th floor, ready to start work.

She told herself in her heart, Wen Nuan, don't be afraid, it took you seven years to have the courage to get here, only by facing it bravely can you take that step.

Zhao Shucheng originally wanted to leave directly from Daizhong, but unexpectedly, his second uncle Zhu Yi stopped Zhao Shucheng and said:

"Linlu, don't leave in a hurry. The company is preparing an acquisition case recently, and the board of directors is going to hold a meeting to discuss it. Although you have suspended your position as general manager, you are still a shareholder of the company after all, so you still have to attend the meeting to discuss it."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the other party and said, "Okay, I'll get ready and go."

When we arrived at the conference room, we saw the company directors and executives were already sitting there waiting.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm late. Let's get started!"

Zhu Yi said, "Linlu, didn't I tell you a long time ago that you are a bit too arrogant to have so many uncles waiting for you, Mr. Zhu?"

"Uncle, you are right. But do you know what people say about us? We are just OEMs, but OEM is useless. Besides, I am the general manager who has been suspended. You don't have to wait for me for the meeting. After all, I still believe in your ability."

After hearing this, Zhu Linghong pointed at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Hey, you..."

Zhu Yi glanced at his son. Zhu Linghong coughed and said, "Boss Xiaolu, I know you have some opinions about the acquisition of Alpha. If you are angry, please speak out. Why do you have to leave the company? And don't make indirect accusations here, okay?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "The R&D department is too incompetent and is still complacent when it comes to OEM for others. That's why Daizhong has lost customers to Qianyu repeatedly in market competition, and even lost to Qianyu in acquisitions. I can't help but suspect that the reason Daizhong can continue to survive is entirely because it's relying on its past success. If it continues like this, Daizhong will be finished sooner or later."

"Linlu, don't say these angry words. The acquisition of Alpha can completely make up for our shortcomings. This is also the consensus we reached at the board meeting a year ago. But you were the one who followed up on this matter before. If you leave now, won't the company need to start the acquisition all over again, which is not good for the company?" Zhu Yi looked at Zhao Shucheng with a smiling tiger.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with me. For such a large company, it takes several months for the general manager to submit an invoice, which shows that there is a problem with the company's financial system. The project has not been advanced, and I, as the general manager, am really powerless, so I resigned. Isn't that enough?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Zhu Yi and Zhu Linghong and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, I am young after all, and I have not considered many things thoroughly, so after I leave the company this time, the company will be handed over to you. You must not let the directors and executives down."

  Zhu Yi frowned and looked at Zhao Shucheng, and found that this nephew had changed a lot since he came back from abroad. He used to fight for power with him in the company, but now he has withdrawn and put himself in the position of general manager. Is he waiting for him to make a mistake, and then he will come back to make things right?

Zhu Yi couldn't help but smile when he thought of this. He didn't care what measures Zhu Linlu took. As long as he took the position of general manager, it would not be so easy to pull him down at that time.

The reason why the company had not developed before was just to make things difficult for Zhu Linlu. After I take over, the company will be full of my own people, and it will definitely run smoothly. The situation that Zhu Linlu encountered before will not happen again, and the acquisition of Alpha will also become my own achievement.

"Xiaolu, the problems that Alpha encountered in its previous acquisition were not just our finance department's problems. If you think Alpha is important, don't target our finance department."

Zhu Yi smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot that I am not the director of the Finance Department now, but the general manager. Since Lin Lu also thinks Alpha is important, all of us here must work together to try to take down Alpha as soon as possible, and let President Xiao Lu know that we are not just here to eat and do nothing."
