Chapter 196: Chapter 196 Wife, Wait for Me (1)

When Gu Nuan boarded the company shuttle prepared for them, there were already two women sitting in the vehicle.

They were exactly the two influential financiers’ daughters she had heard people gossiping about earlier in the conference hall.

Zhong Qiaohui, stylish and charming with ear-length hair and a towering height of 178 cm, rivaling a model’s stature, reportedly inherited her parental lineage’s sharp brow ridges, as sharp as unsheathed swords, exuding an aura of a powerful woman, sharp and astute.

She was the granddaughter of a private fund tycoon.

As people said, Zhong Qiaohui always sat in the last row of the shuttle, in the farthest corner, seemingly averse to getting close to anyone; in Gu Nuan’s eyes, this woman was like a proud queen.

In stark contrast was the woman with fluttering long hair, reminiscent of a pure girl from a movie poster, rumored to be the bank president’s daughter named Li Changzhi.

Her smile was as radiant as spring blossoms, irresistibly beautiful.

One as silent as the sea, the other with a delightful smile. However, Gu Nuan only knew one thing, upon seeing her board the shuttle, both women treated her in exactly the same way, as if she were invisible, evidently not intending to interact with her as a colleague.

Gu Nuan found a seat in the second row of the shuttle. The shuttle felt spacious enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people, so the seven or eight of them boarding had no need to crowd.

The company certainly treated the Financial Department very well.

Donald Duck helped Li Sitong load his things onto the shuttle and, glancing at the three women, must have remembered the other two women’s golden statuses; Donald Duck quickly retracted his foot that had stepped onto the shuttle.

Liu Xiaoliu followed right behind him.

Regardless of anything, Xiaoliu climbed aboard.

Gu Nuan had not expected that Xiaoliu would bypass the two affluent heiresses and instead head straight for her.

"I’ll sit next to you," Xiaoliu said to Gu Nuan with a smile, and without waiting for Gu Nuan’s consent, he immediately plopped down next to her.

Gu Nuan sometimes couldn’t understand why people like Xiaoliu or Su Yixia, who clearly had enough riches and power to be envied by others, still clung to her and cared about what she did.

The departure time was nearing, and the rest of the people gradually boarded.

On this trip, there were eight people in total, including Li Sitong, Donald Duck, Fu Yubo, and the team leader Chen Jiaming.

Four men and four women, just right.

Although others had thought that Chen Jiaming would leave in a director-designated car, to their surprise, Chen Jiaming took the passenger seat of the shuttle and joined them on the journey.

"Chairman Chen truly is approachable, not arrogant at all," said Li Changzhi.

Whether her comment was an act of flattery towards Chen Jiaming was debatable since it seemed Chen Jiaming could not hear her quietly discussing this at the back.

However, undoubtedly, her comment resonated greatly among everyone in the car.

Gu Nuan once again felt a bit of worry for the freewheeling albino at home.

Chen Jiaming certainly had a knack for winning people’s hearts everywhere.

Why say so?

Gu Nuan only needed to flip through the documents Fu Yubo had given her before departure. One purpose of their trip was to re-finance the Mingyue project, which was clearly about to halt due to impacts.

Whether it was a strict order from Xiao Jianming was debatable, but Chen Jiaming had followed through.

Gu Nuan only knew that by doing this, Chen Jiaming had famously earned a good reputation; everyone knew he was covering for Xiao Jianming.

Compared to Xiao Jianming’s irresponsible son, Chen Jiaming appeared more devoted to looking after the chairman’s and company’s interests, didn’t he?
