I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 19

Li Heng squinted his eyes as he heard Zhou Zheng’s cautious voice. “What’s wrong? Did Chengyan just throw you another difficult task?”

“Ha-ha,” Zhou Zheng laughed sarcastically. “Your assistant is a computer expert, right!?”

“Call him yourself,” Li Heng said and hung up immediately. The monotonous beeps from the phone was like torture to Zhou Zheng. These two guys sure are brothers.

They both always talk so briefly. But soon, Zhou Zheng made a call to Li Heng’s assistant, Liang Lin. “I’ll give you half an hour to look up a girl. The second master wants this information.”

Zhou Zheng received the information half an hour later. “You’ve saved my life, brother!” he said in gratitude.

Liang Lin scoffed, “Is the second boss into this woman?” This woman, Shi Wei, didn’t have much background, but she was extremely ruthless. Liang Lin couldn’t see how she and Fu Chengyan were connected, so he prodded for details.

“How is that possible? Alright, I’ll talk to you next time. I have to report to Mr. Fu.”

……

Shi Nuan had been away for a year and could feel that Fucheng had undergone many changes. This included the fact that the company had vacated her position. She noticed that many of the coworkers she used to be familiar with had now resigned and only the newbies remained. Someone else had also temporarily taken over her position.

Shi Nuan furrowed her brows. She wasn’t a fool; she knew this was no coincidence. Looks like they’ve been planning this since a long time ago.

“Here is a list of projects that had been carried out in the past six months, Ms. Shi. I figured you may be relatively unfamiliar with the company’s affairs since you had been away for so long, so I compiled this for you. Do have a look.”

The person speaking was Yue Ling, who had been newly promoted to take Shi Nuan’s place in the department. She spoke so openly and honestly, without a hint of vagueness.

Shi Nuan raised her brow slightly. She could tell that Yue Ling wasn’t being friendly. But that was no surprise. After all, Yue Ling had thought this director’s position now belonged to her, but she now had to give it back to Shi Nuan. How could she not be mad?

Throughout the past six months, Yue Ling had been in charge of the entire department. Seeing Shi Nuan immediately regain her position the moment she returned was certainly a matter no one would be happy about. Moreover, Yue Ling had caught wind of all the recent office gossip.

She knew that Shi Nuan was a shameless homewrecker who had managed to enter Fucheng and earn a director’s position thanks to her own sister, Shi Wei’s connections.

Yet, no one expected that Shi Nuan would rip her own sister off. How shameless could she be? Thinking about this, Yue Ling’s attitude towards Shi Nuan worsened. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to come to me. I’ve been in charge of all the projects here for the past year, after all.”

Shi Nuan frowned. Yue Ling sounded so arrogant and thought nothing of her. She strongly disliked the way Yue Ling spoke. But no matter what, they were in the same department, so Shi Nuan figured it was better not to sour their relationship.

“Then I sincerely thank you, Ms. Yue. These are all projects that you’ve handled, and I haven’t come to work for such a long time. Well, since you’re so thoughtful, then I graciously accept your information.”

Shi Nuan took the large pile of program lists from Yue Ling and looked at her, asking, “Is there anything else, Ms. Yue?”

Yue Ling didn’t expect Shi Nuan to be this tough. She had made herself so clear, yet the latter still looked so composed. “N-No, but it’s been so long since you last returned, so you may not be familiar with all the new coworkers around here. How about this? I’ll host a dinner tonight and we’ll have you get to know everyone.”

Shi Nuan glanced at Yue Ling coldly while gripping the documents in her hands. Shi Nuan’s stare chilled her, sending shivers down her spine. She touched her own face in discomfort and asked, “Is something the matter, Ms. Shi?”

“Oh! It’s nothing,” Shi Nuan shook her head. “Actually, I should be the one buying dinner. But I’m a rather busy these few days, so I’m afraid this will have to wait.”
