"Well, then you just look at the arrangement, I absolutely support it!" Han Tao smiled and nodded, then took a sip from his teacup.

This is Wendy, a person the original owner couldn’t live without but didn’t dare to promise too much to. After more than three years of living together day and night, Wendy knew exactly what he should do every step of the way in the law firm and prepared everything for him in advance.

She might be a good secretary, a good work partner, and a rare confidante, but Han Tao felt that she was not suitable to be a girlfriend.

One reason is that most successful men will not choose a woman who knows their preferences and habits very well. The second reason is that he feels that he cannot give Wendy the love she wants, so he tries to maintain a balance.

But Han Tao doesn't think so now. It is the hardest to let down a beautiful woman. Just like Lina and Robin, keeping excessive distance will do the greatest harm to her.

Thinking of this, Han Tao stood up and walked to the window, looking at the lights outside through the glass, considering the scale of their future interactions.

At this time, Wendy, who was originally sitting on the sofa, also stood up and walked over with Han Tao, then reached out and gently hugged him from behind.

"Boss, are you really going to be so cruel? It was because of the rules when we were in Quanjing. Now that I'm accompanying you back to the Magic City, you won't deny what you said, right? You should give me an explanation."

Han Tao did not struggle. Since he had already made up his mind, he did not feel any entanglement or depression in his heart. After all, Wendy had been silently contributing to his support for so many years.

"I'm sorry, Wendy, for making you suffer all these years. You know my situation best, and I don't want to let you down."

Hearing Han Tao's answer, Wendy shook her head decisively: "I don't feel wronged. Not every relationship is meant to lead to marriage. If you continue to reject me, then you will be betraying my friendship with you.

I know what happened to you before, I understand the pain in your heart, and I know everything that happened to you later. But I just like you, and you understand me. If I don't like you, no one can force me. This is my own choice."

"How could I not know? If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have been my secretary for so many years. With your abilities, you shouldn't be in this situation now."

Han Tao smiled bitterly, turned around and looked at Wendy and continued, "I was too selfish before. I admit that I can't live without you. Having you by my side these past few years has saved me a lot of trouble, but I haven't been able to..."

"Don't worry, I know your concerns. There's no need for us to be so clear about this. It's my own fault. I'm not suitable to be a wife."

Wendy interrupted Han Tao. How could she not know that if she had confessed her feelings to him when she just started working as his assistant, she might have succeeded and they might even have a child.

But at that time, I simply thought that being his most capable assistant would make everything go smoothly.

But she had completely misunderstood the term "good wife". In the end, Han Tao was completely naked in front of her. She could easily see through many of his thoughts. Which man would be willing to marry such a woman?

Han Tao nodded and said, "Since you've made up your mind, I won't suppress our feelings any longer. Once I've completed all my plans and arrangements, and we have time to spend quality time together, if your feelings remain unchanged, I will definitely not let you down."

Hearing Han Tao's answer, Wendy's eyes were filled with tears, and she said with a smile on her face, "Okay, you can't go back on your word. I will take in an apprentice.

There are gains and losses. I can't always be your secretary, but my future work will be a greater help to you.

Having been your secretary for so long, you may have forgotten that I also studied law. When I first joined the law firm, I was your assistant, and later I applied to become your administrative secretary.

"Yes, I almost overlooked that you also have a professional certificate. I admit that I made a mistake on this point. I hope you will allow me to correct this mistake."

After all, Han Tao looked at Wendy very sincerely.

"Okay, I accept it. Are we boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Wendy asked expectantly.

Han Tao looked at her and couldn't help but smile in his heart. He shook his head and said, "Not really. Now we can only be considered to have broken away from a work relationship. Our relationship is just like close friends. There is still a little distance between us and boyfriend and girlfriend!"

Hearing this, Wendy looked at Han Tao in confusion and asked unhappily, "Why? You promised, are you going back on your word?"

Han Tao teased her deliberately: "I'm not regretting it, but leaving you more room for improvement. Otherwise, if you improve again and become a greater help to me, what will I use to reward you?"

"Pooh!"

Wendy rolled her eyes at Han Tao again and said coquettishly, "Boss, you should be conscientious. I'm really taking advantage of you, isn't this more of a business deal?"

Han Tao smiled slightly, looked at her gently and said, "Of course not. Since I said it, I must do it. You haven't experienced the process of being pursued yet, and I can't let this relationship leave any flaws or regrets.

At that time, you can re-evaluate your feelings for me. If you feel that I am not worthy of your efforts, you can completely reject me. This is fair and just."

"Hmph, stop being so conceited, as if you're so precious to me. If you don't perform well, I won't want you, you playboy!"

After saying that, Wendy pretended to be arrogant and hit Han Tao, then grabbed Han Tao's hand.

After a moment, the two held hands and looked at each other affectionately. Then Wendy gently closed her eyes and quietly welcomed the gentleness. Her cheeks became like a lotus, white with a hint of red.

When Han Tao lowered his head and kissed her, Wendy couldn't help but feel nervous, and her cheeks became even redder. There was a bit of infatuation mixed with her panic, revealing her uneasy thoughts.

Chapter 401 A Call from Nansun’s Mother

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines through the morning light and into the bedroom through the window, reminding the thousands of passers-by in the bustling world to get up early every morning and start a new day.

When Han Tao came back from running, Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun were still sleeping. Before he could wake them up, he heard the phone on the bedside table ringing.

She picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was from Jiang Nansun's mother Dai Yin. Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo were also awakened by the ringing and opened their eyes to check what was going on.

Seeing this, Han Tao put the phone next to Jiang Nansun's ear and reminded her, "Nansun, it's Auntie calling!"

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun hurriedly said, "Mom, why are you calling so early?"

"It's already seven o'clock, is it still early? I can tell from the sound that you haven't gotten up yet. Hurry up and get up. Don't you have to go to work at Jingyan today?"

Dai Yin on the other end of the phone couldn't help but roll his eyes as he spoke, then asked, "By the way, aren't you with Suosuo? Why did I hear Xiao Han's voice just now?"

Hearing her mother's question, Jiang Nansun quickly stood up, snatched the phone, and glared at Han Tao, saying:

"Mom, Han Tao came in and asked me and Suosuo to have dinner. Although my aunt and Ye Jinyan are friends, it's my first day at work. Suosuo insisted that Han Tao come and take us there, otherwise she would be worried."

Seeing Jiang Nansun's serious look, Han Tao raised the corners of his mouth and deliberately reached his hand into the quilt. Jiang Nansun, who was suddenly attacked, bit her lips lightly, held down the mischievous thug, and then glared at Han Tao unhappily.

As if hearing his daughter's groan, Dai Yin asked with concern: "Nansun, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Nansun quickly replied, "Mom, don't worry, it was Suosuo who bumped into me accidentally, it's okay!"

"I'm glad you're okay. Go wash up quickly. Don't be late for your first day at work. Remember to go home for dinner tonight. Call Suosuo and Xiaohan too. Grandma has something to tell you."

"Got it. I'll hang up now. I'll call Suosuo and Han Tao tonight."

"Wait a minute, since Han Tao is here too, give him the phone number. It would be better if I could talk to him in person!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Nansun nodded. Because Zhu Suosuo joined in the trouble, she slapped her. Then she covered the microphone and warned Han Tao:

"My mom wants to talk to you, don't say anything, understand?"

"I understand, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense!

Han Tao took the phone and said with a smile, "Auntie, this is Han Tao. What can I do for you?"

Dai Yin heard Han Tao's voice and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, grandma missed you, Nansun and Suosuo, so she asked me to ask if you have time to come home for dinner.

When you brought Nansun and Suosuo back earlier, you left after a short while, so Nansun’s grandmother has to cook for them herself today.”

"Auntie, how can you let grandma do this? She's old, don't hurt her. I'll definitely go back for dinner today, but please ask grandma what she wants to eat, and I'll ask someone to cook it!"

Hearing that Grandma Jiang wanted to cook herself, Han Tao hurriedly tried to dissuade her. The old lady was over seventy years old and hadn't cooked in many years. It would be bad if she got hurt.

Dai Yin said helplessly, "I've tried to persuade her, but grandma insisted on cooking and I couldn't stop her. Fortunately, we have her to help, so don't worry."

"Well, I can't let Grandma down. We'll all go back tonight. If you need me to prepare anything, please feel free to message me."

"Okay, then Auntie won't bother you anymore. Don't forget to eat breakfast, otherwise it's not good for your health!"

"Thank you, Auntie. Sister Zhang has already prepared the morning shift. Don't worry. Bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Han Tao saw that Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun had put on their clothes while he was on the phone, then put on their slippers and ran into the bathroom. He walked towards the restaurant with a smile.

....................................

At the same time, Fan Jingang received news that the Qingpu No. 81 site would be officially put up for bidding today, and the company that was competing with Jingyan Group was Dadi Hengxin Group.

Facing the industry leader Jingyan Group, Dadi Hengxin has been competing for so many years. Although it has lost more than it has won, this project is very important to Ye Jinyan, so Fan Jingang did not go to the company to wait, but personally went with the driver to pick up Ye Jinyan for work.

On the way, in the back seat of the BMW 7 Series, Fan Jingang said, "Mr. Ye, Dadi Hengxin is also bidding for Plot 81 in Qingpu, and they've sent someone to contact Tang Xin. Should we still stick to the original plan?"

Ye Jinyan frowned and nodded, "Of course, we can't just let Dadi Hengxin participate, nor can we modify our original plan just because they have contacted Mr. Tang.

Besides, Tang Xin is a veteran of the company. I know her personality. Unless she has already left, she will not harm the interests of the company. If there is any fluctuation, you should know, right? "

"That's right. No one would give more than Jingyan. Besides, it's you who trained President Tang that has helped her achieve what she has today. I think..."

"Stop, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Before Fan Jingang could finish, Ye Jinyan interrupted him and continued, "Secretary Fan, I've told you countless times not to say things that are detrimental to the group. The company has come this far because of the mutual support of everyone. Without Tang Xinjingyan, we wouldn't be able to do this well!"

Already aware of his slip of the tongue, Fan Jingang nodded quickly and said, "I understand, Mr. Ye. This won't happen again. But I think we should still make some adjustments. After all, we are in the open..."

"No, our plan won't change. You should talk to Li Ang about this. After all, he's the backbone of this R&D team!"

Hearing Ye Jinyan say this, Fan Jingang asked in surprise, "Li Ang? No... Mr. Ye, although he will be the backbone of the library project in the future, he is too young. He can't compete with Dadi Hengxin, right?"

Ye Jinyan said without hesitation: "It's okay, why don't you help him. And Jiang Nansun, isn't she also going to join this R&D team? As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, right?

You are a veteran in the company, and you have two top students with you. I believe you can handle it!"

When Fan Jingang heard him say this, he could only say helplessly, "Okay, I'll do my best. But I still have to say one thing: Daisy is the most suitable and perfect person for this project.

Mr. Ye, you should think about it. Daisy and you share the same philosophy, so I think you... "

"Secretary Fan, stop talking!"

Ye Jinyan interrupted Fan Jingang again and shook his head, "Why don't you understand? It's been over ten years. You said we could have a meal and chat with her, but is it possible to call her back?"

"Of course it's impossible. I'm not afraid of you getting angry. I've already met her privately. She said she came back to visit her family, but she never did. Doesn't she want to help you?"

"Fan Jingang, I think you're taking my words less and less seriously. Who told you to go look for Daisy? Don't tell me you haven't thought about it. You abandoned her when things were good, and now you want to call her back. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Ye Jinyan didn't wait for Fan Jingang's response and changed the subject, saying, "When you have time, you should organize the materials. Don't forget to give a copy to Director Han. Then go to the city to make a presentation. Bring Jiang Nansun and Li Ang with you."

Seeing that Ye Jinyan didn't want to say anything, Fan Jingang could only swallow what he was about to say. Daisy and Ye Jinyan were both idealists with outstanding abilities. They had fought side by side for many years, but the situation was different back then. They really needed to make money first.

It is also for this reason that Ye Jinyan has kept in touch with Daisy and always feels that he owes her.

However, when Ye Jinyan mentioned Han Tao and Jiang Nansun, Fan Jingang couldn't help but think more about it. Han Tao is a director and the CLO of the legal department. It is understandable that he seeks opinions on new projects.

But Jiang Nansun is just a newcomer and doesn't know much about the company. There must be a deep meaning behind President Ye asking her to follow him.

"Mr. Ye, since you asked me to help them, let me make a suggestion. If we want to preserve this old library, it will probably cost a huge amount of money. Moreover, the library only has 50 people a day. Can we make it smaller?"

"We can't move. We took on this project to develop it. Just because we have 50 people now doesn't mean we won't have 100 or 200 people in the future."

After hearing Ye Jinyan's answer, Fan Jingang hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Ye, I fully support you in building this library. I understand your intentions for this culture.

But I still think, can this library be made a little smaller, or moved to the commercial district in the east?"

"No, the library needs peace and quiet. If it's moved to a commercial area, it will be meaningless. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Ye Jinyan directly rejected Fan Jingang's proposal, then looked out the window and asked, "How about this, in the afternoon, you call Li Ang and Jiang Nansun, and we'll go to the scene together, so that you can have a direct impression."

"Ok!"

Knowing that it would be difficult to change Ye Jinyan's decision, Fan Jingang stopped trying to dissuade him and could only nod in agreement.

But I don't think so in my heart. At worst, I can just wait and see. Maybe Han Tao can see the difficulties and then offer suggestions.

After all, Han Tao is now a shareholder of Jingyan Group, and the largest shareholder after Ye Jinyan. His words still carry weight. In addition, Han Tao has invested in so many companies, so he definitely has a unique vision.

In fact, many people don’t realize that Jingyan Group is a large real estate company and a leader in the real estate industry, including real estate development, brokerage, marketing, and sales.

Moreover, Jingyan Group has always been developing in the direction of high-end and boutique residences. However, this year's stock market crash has also affected the real estate industry, which is in recession.

Therefore, Jingyan must either change its direction or give the original product more connotations. This is a question that Ye Jinyan has been considering.

This is also the fundamental reason why he has always wanted to deeply research and develop library design plans. In addition to sentiment, he also saw this big trend.

Chapter 402 Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo's shock

In Dongli, Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun particularly like the layout of two houses in one household. They are neither separated nor have their own space, so they have moved their permanent home here.

At this time, in the dining room of the east suite, Han Tao, Zhu Suosuo, and Jiang Nansun were having breakfast. During the breakfast, Jiang Nansun said:

"Suosuo, now that you've been transferred to Mr. Ye's office, stop complaining and make sure you learn from Secretary Fan and the others. Only when you become stronger can you gain more autonomy."

After hearing this, Zhu Suosuo said helplessly: "Don't worry, I understand. Even if I don't want to, what else can I do?

Yang Ke hasn't even sat down as Vice President, and he's already going to be his CEO. The sales department has also been dismantled, so I can only accept my fate!"

At this point, Zhu Suosuo looked at Han Tao curiously and asked in a coquettish tone, "Brother Han, can you explain this to me? Why did you and Mr. Ye acquire Longi?

Furthermore, they appointed Manager Yang as the head of the family, causing considerable turmoil in the sales department. Don't you think it would be better for him to stay at Jingyan, as he's such a rare talent?"

"You don't understand or see clearly many things. Since Yang Ke is planning to leave, he must have made all the necessary preparations. I can't keep him here."

I am also a director of Jingyan, so my interests are the same as Mr. Ye's. Yang Ke is indeed a talent, it would be a shame to leave the company, and he might even become a competitor, so it would be better to go with the flow."

Han Tao explained the reason for this matter to Zhu Suosuo while eating. Seeing that she was still a little disappointed, he continued:
