Hearing this, Yuan Yuan quickly handed her the menu and said, "Hello, Sister Nansun, the food is a little cold, please order something hot!"
"Okay." Jiang Nansun nodded and took it. She and Han Tao hadn't eaten since noon, so she looked at the menu and said:
"Waiter, I'd like a healthy beef brisket pot, a truffle shrimp and egg scrambled eggs, a pickled sea bass, and today's soup!"
Seeing Jiang Nansun order so much, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but say, "Sister Nansun, we've already eaten!"
Hearing her say this, Jiang Nansun remembered that when she first met Zhang Anren, he was also like this, so she looked at Yuan Yuan with a smile: "I know, I just order what I want to eat."
"Nansun has always been like this, with big eyes and a small belly..."
Before Zhang Anren could finish his words, he saw Jiang Nansun glaring at him and quickly changed his tone, "It's okay. If you can't finish it, we can pack it up!"
Seeing Zhang Anren's strong desire to survive, Jiang Nansun gave him a look that said "you're smart" and then continued to say to the waiter beside him:
"Oh, and add a crystal pork elbow in abalone sauce and a stir-fried wild vegetable dish."
Seeing that she was still ordering more dishes, Zhang Anren asked in confusion: "Nansun, why did you order so much? Is there anyone else coming?"
"Han Tao brought me here. He also went to the opening ceremony of Songjiang Hotel. Neither of us had dinner yet. Suosuo might be back soon."
After explaining, Jiang Nansun didn't wait for Zhang Anren to respond. She looked at Yuan Yuan, who was dressed simply, and said with a smile, "Yuan Yuan, have you found a place to live?"
"Not yet, Brother Anren said..."
Yuan Yuan glanced at Jiang Nansun with some embarrassment, then looked at Zhang Anren while speaking.
Seeing this, Zhang Anren quickly said, "Nansun, didn't I discuss with you before? It's not safe for her to live in a guesthouse alone, so she can stay at my place first and move out after finding a good house."
Although Jiang Nansun had agreed before, but after hearing Zhang Anren's answer, especially thinking about her boyfriend living with another woman, and in the house she had once planned to use as their wedding home, she felt a little uncomfortable even though the two of them had been tested.
In addition, she had just spoken with Suosuo, who had suggested that Yuan Yuan live with her, so she took the initiative to speak:
"It's not appropriate or convenient for you, a girl like Yuan Yuan, to live with a grown man like you. Otherwise, let Yuan Yuan live with me at Suosuo's place. Suosuo has plenty of spare rooms anyway."
When Zhang Anren heard this, he was very happy and said, "That's great, you've thought it through!"
Seeing Zhang Anren give her a look that indicated agreement, Yuan Yuan nodded quickly: "Sister Nansun, I'll trouble you and Sister Suosuo. I will find a job as soon as possible, and then rent a house and move out."
After saying that, Yuan Yuan diligently poured Jiang Nansun a cup of hot tea. She came to Shanghai this time just to put down roots here. Having a free place to live can save a lot of living costs in the early stage, so the gratitude on her face was real.

Chapter 291 First meeting Yuan Yuan
After the waiter started serving the dishes again, Han Tao also walked into the restaurant. Zhang Anren stood up and greeted him, "Brother Han, here!"
Seeing his enthusiasm, Han Tao smiled and joked, "Brother Zhang, long time no see. I've been pushing off a lot of things to help you send Nansun here. You're so free here!"
Hearing Han Tao say this, Zhang Anren smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you today, Brother Han. It's hard for you to come here, but I'm not trying to avoid being idle. Someone from my hometown is coming to pick her up."
After saying that, he hurriedly introduced Yuan Yuan and Han Tao, "This is my classmate from my hometown, Yuan Yuan. This is Han Tao, a friend of Nansun and me, and the boyfriend of Nansun's best friend Zhu Suosuo."
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan stood up and looked at the richly dressed Han Tao with a slightly reserved look. She bent down and greeted him, "Hello, Brother Han Tao. I'm Yuan Yuan, a junior high school classmate of Brother Anren. Nice to meet you."
Han Tao nodded politely and said, "Hello, Yuan Yuan, welcome to the Magic City!"
After the two of them finished introducing each other, Zhang Anren greeted them with a smile, "Brother Han, please sit down and eat. Nansun ordered a few dishes. Do you want to order more?"
"You're welcome. I have no dietary restrictions. Anything is fine with me!"
After saying that, Han Tao sat down and glanced at Yuan Yuan. Judging from her dress, she had indeed just come from a small city and had not had any chance to come into contact with fashion. She looked rather rustic, but after she found her feet and learned how to put on makeup and dress, she was still a beautiful woman with good looks.
After the greetings, the waiter brought the dishes. Everyone chatted while eating. When the meal was over, Zhu Suosuo still didn't come over.
After Jiang Nansun made the call, she found out that Yang Ke had several clients from Hong Kong, and Zhu Suosuo accompanied him to the social event.
Seeing this, the four of them dispersed. After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Anren originally wanted to send Jiang Nansun home first, and then let Yuanyuan take a taxi to follow or he would pick her up later.
However, Jiang Nansun felt that it was inappropriate to let the guests take a taxi, so she looked at Yuan Yuan who was following Zhang Anren and said with a smile:
"No need. Yuan Yuan has come all this way. You can just take her to Binjiang Yipin. I can take a taxi myself."
"That's fine. Yuan Yuan's luggage is still in the car. We'll go first and wait for you downstairs!"
After saying that, Zhang Anren motioned Yuan Yuan to follow him, and then walked towards the parking lot not far away.
Yuan Yuan looked at Zhang Anren, bowed a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Nansun, how about I take a taxi?"
Jiang Nansun walked to the side of the road and waved her hands: "It's okay, you don't know the way here, I can get a taxi quickly, you guys go first!"
"Okay, goodbye Brother Han Tao, see you later Sister Nansun!"
After bowing goodbye again, Yuan Yuan turned and chased after Zhang Anren in the direction of the parking lot.
Seeing that Jiang Nansun had already walked to the side of the road, it seemed that she was planning to take a taxi back alone. Han Tao smiled helplessly and said:
"Nansun, don't take the taxi. Let me take you there. Otherwise, if Suosuo knew I left you behind, she would be heartbroken!"
"It's okay, I'll explain it to Suosuo. Go away, don't you have something to do?"
"It's okay, I'll just send you back first, and then I'll go over. I've already called to discuss it."
"Well... well, I finally understand what Suosuo is feeling!"
………………
At the same time, Jiang Nansun's mother gave her the new BMW i3 co-pilot. Yuan Yuan looked at the busy traffic outside, the brightly lit streets and buildings, and said enviously:
"The Magic City is really prosperous. No wonder Brother Anren is reluctant to go back."
Hearing this, Zhang Anren was silent for a while, then he said: "But staying here requires a lot of effort, and it will be very hard!"
Yuan Yuan turned her head and stared at Zhang Anren, saying calmly, "I'm not afraid of hard work. We've all been through hardship since childhood. We're not like the young ladies in the city. I can endure any hardship, don't you think?"
"Well, only those who have endured the most hardships can become the best!"
Zhang Anren fell silent again after hearing her question. The reason why he tried every means to stay here was that he didn't want to go back to his hometown. For this, he did suffer a lot of hardships that others were unwilling to suffer.
Seeing him sigh, Yuan Yuan didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the subject and said, "Brother Anren, Han Tao looks very powerful and rich, just like the domineering CEOs on TV. What does he do?"
Zhang Anren said in a cold voice, "He's a senior partner at a well-known law firm in Shanghai. He's a big-name lawyer. His family is also very wealthy. He's also a shareholder and legal officer of Jingyan Group."
"Then, is the house we're going to belong to Nansun's best friend? I'm looking for a job downtown. Is it far from the city center?"
Zhang Anren felt a pang of displeasure when he saw Yuan Yuan's particular interest in Han Tao. "Han Tao bought it for Zhu Suosuo. It's not far from the city center, right in the financial district. If you're looking for a part-time job there, it'll be very convenient for work!"
Yuan Yuan nodded and continued, "He's really generous. Housing must be very expensive there. He and Sister Nansun seem very familiar. Are you two friends?"
"Tens of millions is something most people can't afford in several lifetimes. This is what it means to have different fates for the same person."
Zhang Anren laughed at himself. He didn't understand why Yuan Yuan was so interested in this topic. However, considering that she had just arrived in Shanghai and might be more interested in the lives of rich people, he patiently explained:
"Zhu Suosuo and Nansun have been best friends since childhood. They have a very good relationship. Han Tao is her boyfriend, so he is also quite familiar with Nansun and me."
"Is that so? I really envy the lives of these wealthy young ladies. Every single one of their best friends is so wealthy. I envy Brother Anren for having such friends. It's what they call birds of a feather flock together. I will definitely work hard to become one of those elite white-collar workers who sits in an office in Shanghai."
Yuan Yuan said this meaningfully. She already knew the importance of having a backer. She knew that Zhang Anren was never the best backer, but the resources in Jiang Nansun were enough to solve her problems.
It is said that when tackling a problem, one must always focus on the key points, otherwise the opportunity will be fleeting. The same is true when it comes to finding a backer.
Zhang Anren shook his head and said, "Don't be too ambitious. You have to pay for what you get. It's hard to become a white-collar worker without a solid education and good command of language. Large companies have very high requirements for new employees. They have requirements for education, professional skills, age, etc."
"I know. I've already made up my mind to work in the city center. That way I can see how those elite white-collar workers live. I'll also find opportunities to learn more. This is what keeps me going!"
Seeing Yuan Yuan's eyes light up when she mentioned elites and white-collar workers, Zhang Anren smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, as long as you work hard, you will succeed. I will also try my best to help you. If you need anything, please don't hesitate."
"Well, thank you, brother Anren!"
Yuan Yuan watched Zhang Anren all night, then turned her head to look out the window, with some ideas and plans in her mind. She secretly decided to catch Jiang Nansun. It is said that this kind of rich lady likes to solve problems with money the most.
Moreover, if Jiang Nansun is captured, there will be a chance to get close to someone more powerful, such as Han Tao. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
Life is like this. If you want to stand out, you must understand what you want and how to achieve your goal faster. So her current goal is to be a better person and live a better life.
…………
Chapter 292 Green Tea or Victim?
At this time, Han Tao and Jiang Nansun had just received a call from Zhu Suosuo. She was still worried, so she asked Han Tao whether he had sent Jiang Nansun home and what was going on with Zhang Anren and Yuan Yuan.
However, before Han Tao could respond, Jiang Nansun answered the phone and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Suosuo, Han Tao is taking me home. As for Yuan Yuan, she is in the same car with Zhang Anren, and Yuan Yuan may have to live with us for a while."
When Zhu Suosuo heard her say this, she immediately continued to ask, "Yuan Yuan is with Zhang Anren? Why isn't she with you? Are you so confident that they can be alone together, and you're even driving your car!"
"What's there to worry about? She's not familiar with us. I can't let her be alone in a car with Han Tao. Wouldn't that be inappropriate?" Jiang Nansun looked at Han Tao and replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo on the other end of the phone said anxiously: "Are you stupid? You can let her go with you. It's not like Brother Han's car can't accommodate her.
Tell me what you think, so I don't get anxious. Or you can come over and have a drink with me, and we won't leave until we're drunk. Don't keep your emotions bottled up, let them out."
Jiang Nansun shook her head: "No, how can I get drunk when I don't even know the enemy situation?
I need to have a good time with Yuan Yuan, otherwise they will really be left alone together. If you have something to do, just do it and don't worry about it. I, Jiang Nansun, am not a pushover either."
Hearing her say this, Zhu Suosuo laughed non-stop on the phone and said, "Hahaha, I always thought you were a naive person. Hearing you say this, I feel much more relieved!"
Jiang Nansun replied proudly: "If life gives me honey, I will enjoy it. If life gives me challenges, I will put on my armor and fight!"
"It's easy to say, my Princess Jiang, you are ignorant of the ways of the world, and you can't tolerate any sand in your eyes."
"So what? Isn't it good to have a clear distinction between love and hate for a lifetime?"
"Okay, but that's too difficult. I'll hurry back after I finish my socializing here. Please wait for me!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. Han Tao still has things to do, so I won't say any more!"
Han Tao saw the two people finish talking, took the phone and said, "We're just ahead. I'll drop you off at the gate of the community. Call me if you need anything. I'm leaving now."
Jiang Nansun nodded and joked, "Thank you for all the running around today. I'll let you have Suosuo for a few days, haha!"
Han Tao saw that the car had stopped and smiled: "You'd be lucky if you didn't try to deceive me. Get out of the car, I won't go in!"
"Hehehe, then drive slowly on the road. Bye!"
After saying that, Jiang Nansun waved her hand, got out of the car and walked into the community.
Looking at her back, Han Tao smiled and said nothing. He directly told Yang Dongxu to drive and left Binjiang Yipin.
However, Han Tao couldn't help but sigh that Zhu Suosuo is simply a crazy fan of Jiang Nansun. She supports Princess Jiang without any bottom line and is completely hypocritical.
For this reason, Han Tao couldn't help but want to wait for her to come back and then slap her hard a few times. However, Guan Juer's party was running out of time, so he had to go over and take a look. He had to do what he promised.
In fact, to be honest, Yuan Yuan is the victim. She and Zhang Anren are childhood sweethearts and have been in love for so many years. Even Zhang Anren’s college classmates thought that the two of them would get married, which shows that they had a deep relationship back then.
However, when Zhang Anren was a graduate student, he met Jiang Nansun. In order to get a better springboard and because Jiang Nansun's daughter was attractive, he abandoned her, Yuan Yuan.
It is easy to imagine how Yuan Yuan got through that time. She probably doubted her life at one point. Many girls who couldn't bear it would even try to commit suicide.
In other words, Jiang Nansun was made a
Thinking about it this way, Yuan Yuan is quite pitiful. The person she had been waiting for so long finally became successful, but abandoned her for his future. No one would be willing to accept this situation.
Many people think she is a green tea bitch, but Han Tao actually doesn't think so. She just came to Shanghai alone and was unfamiliar with the place, so she needed a place to stay. Zhang Anren owed her, so it was reasonable for him to help and take care of her more.
The most important thing is that Yuan Yuan never did anything to destroy the relationship between Jiang Nansun and Zhang Ailing. Instead, Zhu Suosuo overreacted a bit, and Jiang Nansun was too sensitive. The stupidest thing was to use money to solve the problem, which ended up helping Yuan Yuan grow.
But even so, after Jiang Nansun and Zhang Ainren broke up, Yuan Yuan did not get together with Zhang Ainren, which shows that she came to Shanghai this time just to leave her hometown and stay in Shanghai. Her purpose was very clear, and she did not intend to destroy Zhang Ainren's relationship.
If she really made mistakes, it was packaging herself in the later period and getting close to Wang Yongzheng. The former is understandable. In a place like Shanghai, let alone a country girl like Yuan Yuan who came from a small mountain village, even if you are from a second or third tier city, in the eyes of most Shanghai people you are just a country bumpkin.
In this context, we can understand why Yuan Yuan lied, because as a real estate salesperson, most of the people she faced were Shanghai locals, and only by saying that could she sell more houses.
In fact, in a group company like Jingyan Group, do the HR and Legal departments really just do nothing? New employees will definitely undergo background checks.
Therefore, the company has detailed files on Yuan Yuan’s academic credentials, resume and other information, but her supervisor did not expose her external identity packaging. Why?
Because these are just business means, and the sales department has more relaxed academic requirements. Ability is the most important thing. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
Besides, she hooked up with Wang Yongzheng, borrowed Wang Yongzheng's clothes, peeled shrimp for Wang Yongzheng, and posted on WeChat Moments.
This is obviously to anger Jiang Nansun. If she is really a scheming bitch, she got it without your knowledge, so how can she still alert the enemy?
Especially Jiang Nansun's repeated acts of charity, that is not an attitude of wanting to help others, so Yuan Yuan is retaliating against Jiang Nansun's condescending attitude. After all, her boyfriend was taken away, and she is the victim, and no one will be happy.
Therefore, looking at it from another angle, this is a shortcoming of modern female-led dramas. If Yuan Yuan is the female lead in this drama, it will be a plot reversal in which the female lead is abandoned by her childhood sweetheart who is unfaithful, and then returns to the dark side to take revenge on the scumbag and abuse the third party.
………………
Time passed, and at around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhu Suosuo finally helped Yang Ke deal with the clients. After a phone call with Han Tao, she took a taxi directly back to her home in Binjiang Yipin.
At this time, Zhang Anren was chatting with Jiang Nansun and Yuan Yuan. When they saw her come in, the three of them stood up. Zhu Suosuo looked her up and down, then extended her hand to greet Yuan Yuan:
"Hello Yuan Yuan, I'm Zhu Suosuo, Nansun's best friend."
