Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Husband and Wife One Night (9)

Gu Nuan thus told her that Changda has a project in West Suburb called Mingyue, which has been progressing slowly, and they have been unable to resolve the issues. Now, they’re probably looking to sell it off, even at a low price. I personally believe this is an opportunity. What Changda can’t handle, it doesn’t necessarily mean that MN can’t handle it well.

Su Yixia kept her guard up and continued to press: why can MN handle the issue that Changda cannot?

Gu Nuan said, "Because it’s said that the reason this Changda project is hindered is not due to external factors, but internal ones. You tell Wa Zicong about this land, with his capability, he is more than capable of seeing whether this land is worth buying or not."

Su Yixia immediately responded, "Where does he need to see it? If you say it’s a good project, would he not trust you? Look at the houses you bought, worth double more than the ones he had his eye on."

After this quick negotiation, Su Yixia reported to MN.

Because she was brought in by Wa Zicong, he arranged her within his own department. Su Yixia wasn’t sure if this was his way of keeping her under surveillance, so she felt somewhat uneasy. She thought to herself that indeed, she and Lin Yishan were allies, so by that count, she was also allied with him.

On her first day of reporting, Su Yixia walked into his private office.

Upon seeing it, the décor of the office was not like that of a typical department manager. There was a black sofa placed in the room, which seemed very high-quality.

Su Yixia clicked her tongue twice and said to Wa Zicong, "Manager Wa’s treatment at MN is truly enviable."

"The company provides the best treatment for those with talent," Wa Zicong said.

Come off it, isn’t it just the skill of hooking up with a wealthy young lady?

Su Yixia stood in front of his desk.

Just then, Assistant Xiaoliu had just finished placing the documents on Manager Wa’s table, and Wa Zicong waved him away.

Xiaoliu closed the door behind him as he left.

Wa Zicong crossed his arms and looked at the woman before him.

Under his suddenly sharp gaze, Su Yixia felt her heart jolt, as if he knew something.

Could it be that Lin Yishan had said something to him?

No, Yishan wouldn’t be so talkative.

"Manager Wa," Su Yixia cleared her throat and presented the plan she discussed with Gu Nuan on the way, "You know I am on good terms with Gu Nuan, but after all, I am now at MN, a part of MN, so, on any matter, I must first consider MN’s interests."

After hearing her declaration, Wa Zicong’s expression remained calm.

Su Yixia didn’t know if he was pretending not to understand, and out of anxiety, was eager to reveal everything, "Actually, I just got a piece of Changda’s business secret from her. Changda is preparing to sell Mingyue in West Suburb at a low price."

Mingyue Plaza project was obviously known to Wa Zicong. That piece of land, which Wa Zicong and his team had taken an interest in previously, had been secured by Changda just a step before him. It was indeed something to regret.

Wa Zicong’s gaze continued to scan her face, "You say you squeezed this information out of her?"

"Yes. She wasn’t in a good mood. She just got assigned to the investment promotion department, responsible for this project, and just as she was about to get started, the higher-ups decided to sell."

Wa Zicong’s fingers, crossed, tapped against each other and he said to a worried-looking Su Yixia, "You can leave now. Don’t talk about this matter to anyone for the time being, understood?"

Su Yixia, hearing what he said, knew he was considering it, and thus nodded her head and walked out.

Wa Zicong’s gaze returned from her departing figure, then he pulled open a drawer, took out a mobile phone inside, unlocked the screen, and opened a saved text message.

The few words on the message read: Be careful around her.

It was sent by Gu Nuan to him not long after the interview at Changda.

At the time he received this message, he was as shocked as if he had seen Mars colliding with Earth.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had just seen both her and Su Yixia at Changda, he might not have understood the meaning behind this message at all.

Unexpectedly, the first time she contacted him after they had parted ways as boyfriend and girlfriend was in this manner.

Wasn’t Su Yixia her friend?

Back in Changda, Su Yixia was so righteous in defending her, just like a female knight.

The more Wa Zicong thought about it, the more it seemed off. Maybe Gu Nuan was putting on a show with Su Yixia to deceive him, so she preemptively sent him such a message.

If that was truly the case, Su Yixia was clearly a spy planted in MN.

Although he had anticipated this outcome, the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

Because if they really planned to place Su Yixia as a spy, the series of moves and arrangements were too obvious, treating him, Wa Zicong, like a fool.

If it were the simple Gu Nuan he once knew, he could believe all of this. But when he found out that she was actually not like the girl he once knew, his thoughts underwent a substantial change.

When Xiaoliu came in, he saw him sitting in the office chair with an expression of heavy thought and couldn’t help but ask, "Manager?"

"Keep an eye on her for me."

"Who?"

"The person who just walked out."

Xiaoliu’s confusion seemed apparent, but actually, regarding bringing Su Yixia into MN, he had earlier also felt Wa Zicong surely didn’t have a simple plan.

"By the way—" Wa Zicong raised his head, "You know about the Mingyue project, right?"

"I know, we were a step behind two years ago—" Xiaoliu remembered it clearly.

"I heard that Mingyue wants to sell it, can you discreetly find out if that’s the case?" Wa Zicong asked.

Xiaoliu was briefly stunned, then remembering something, he moved closer to him, whispering, "Miss Lin’s driver seems to know about this."

A glint flashed in Wa Zicong’s eyes: So, that’s it. No wonder Changda suddenly wants to sell such a good piece of land.
