Chapter 194: Chapter 194 The First Time the Couple Separated (8)

Tang Qingzhong’s forehead was sweating.

In the Merchant Department, it seemed there was never anyone who claimed to come from a particularly wealthy family. Of course, because merchant work is difficult, children of rich families entering large companies wouldn’t want to lower themselves to do such challenging tasks.

The same was true for the Financial Department, which involved financing for the company and related to banking, private equity, bonds, and the like—all realms of the financial magnates.

Not a single one of them was poor.

Moreover, if the Financial Department could recruit the children of such families, at the very least, they could gain the most convenient facilities in terms of network connections. For this reason, the offspring of wealthy families undeniably had an advantage in employment over those from humble backgrounds.

"The one sitting opposite you, with long hair, she is said to be the granddaughter of some bank president in Hong Kong."

A look of astonishment spread across Tang Qingzhong’s face.

"Furthermore, the one with short hair sitting at the back, don’t be fooled by her silence, as if she doesn’t do much usually, but she is said to be one of the people Director Chen most wants to recruit, the daughter of some foundation’s chairman."

As Gu Nuan observed Tang Qingzhong’s expression, it was clear that he was utterly disheveled by the wind.

"Director Chen truly is a man loved by all—" a woman snickered softly with a laugh trapped in her throat.

"Look, the fight is about to begin soon, the fight between women. First, let’s see who can truly become Director Chen’s secretary."

Chen Jiaming might have felt that there was no need to worry too much about whether he really needed a secretary for a business trip. However, as a leader going out, he certainly needed to focus more on strategic planning, and secretarial issues definitely required assistance from others.

As for whether Xiaoliu could handle this secretarial work, Gu Nuan thought, not blaming the two disdainful women from earlier, that secretarial work was indeed not as simple as just typing.

A professional secretary, without matching professional knowledge, would be unable to work.

Did this Miss Liu from the Liu Family know that she had already become the target of a group of professional female crocodiles?

As if he hadn’t heard the idle chatter, and without paying attention to Xiaoliu squeezing next to him, Chen Jiaming proceeded according to plan; he laid out the tasks for everyone at the meeting.

The number of people accompanying him on this business trip was as many as eight, accounting for a third of the Financial Department. This indicated the magnitude of the task at hand.

The rest of the staff, who did not accompany him on the trip, likewise had work to keep them busy in the Financial Department.

Gu Nuan and Tang the Duck were not surprised when Chen Jiaming announced the business trip roster because he had already informed them earlier that they would be assigned to the trip.

The others, upon hearing that these two who had just transferred were going on a business trip with Chen Jiaming, were undoubtedly puzzled.

Xiaoliu glanced several times over Gu Nuan’s face.

Gu Nuan really wanted to tell her: I’m married, and I have a Mr. Bai at home who’s enough of a handful; you really don’t need to worry about me.

Speaking of Mr. Bai.

Right, she had to tell him about the business trip; the least she could do was inform him so he wouldn’t be waiting for her to cook dinner and end up hungry tonight.

After the meeting dispersed.

Gu Nuan found a secluded spot and called Mr. Bai.

"Nuannuan, are you looking for me?" a certain little buddy was thrilled to death because he knew she hardly thought of reaching out to him while she was working, "Is it because, after last night, you started missing me?"

Without a doubt, last night had sent a certain man’s confidence soaring.

Gu Nuan had no choice but to pour cold water over his head: "The company is sending me on a business trip, and I have to get on a plane this afternoon. You’ll have to find something to eat on your own tonight. It might be a few days before I can return."
