Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Except Changda, Not Interested in Others

Su Yixia was biting her lips tightly.

Wa Zicong brushed past the two of them, took two steps forward, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned back to face Gu Nuan, "If you too want to come—"

"Manager Wu, I said it earlier this morning, aside from Changda, I am not interested in any other company."

Apart from Changda, nothing else matters. Why does this statement sound so awkward?

"Is that so? Apart from Changda, not considering others?"

"People aim for higher places, while water flows to lower places. We are people, not water. These are my aunt’s words. I think they make quite a lot of sense, don’t they?"

No matter what, Changda is better than MN Trend, a well-known fact. Now, returning his mother’s words to him verbatim felt thoroughly satisfying.

"Manager Wu." The assistant, Xiaoliu, was holding a cellphone, seemingly urging his superior.

Wa Zicong turned around, his gaze resting on Gu Nuan and then shifting to the motionless Su Yixia.

In the past, he always thought that Su Yixia, the little boss’s daughter, was just a vase, and it seemed he was right.

With a smirk, Wa Zicong walked out of the office building. Whatever way the people around viewed him did not matter. It was just like how Su Yixia had fiercely criticized him moments ago. If he were concerned about these things, how could he climb higher?

With his modest family background, barely managing to keep up appearances, it was impossible to advance rapidly in today’s society. To expect to become like Jack Ma by enduring decades of toil until old age was far-fetched, especially now. The chance to become like Jack Ma was almost zero.

To succeed, how could one not take risks? How could one not make sacrifices or sell out?

The only thing he cared about was—

The car was stopped in the open space, and the company had provided him a vehicle; he didn’t drive his own car but used the company car and the driver. With his current status merely known outwardly as Manager Wu, receiving such high-level treatment might baffle outsiders.

Because of this, those people, no matter how they chose to criticize him, would still be unable to help feeling jealous, admiring, and idolizing him.

He knew this very well because most of the recruits were male. For men, men focused on their careers, why would they care about this trivial matter?

Unmarried couples, even if they break up for profit, do not break the law.

Xiaoliu opened the car door for him, then sat next to him.

After driving a distance from Changda, Xiaoliu dared to speak, telling him, "No calls have come in."

Wa Zicong glanced at him.

"Mainly because—"

"Because you feared I’d be embarrassed there?"

"Manager Wu—"

"It’s okay. She just made one mistake, not knowing you are my man."

To this, Xiaoliu admitted, "I didn’t expect her to deliberately say that as I was about to leave."

"And then, you realized she was an extraordinary woman."

Xiaoliu nodded, "But later, knowing she was Manager Wu’s ex-girlfriend, it seemed to make sense—"

Wa Zicong raised his hand to massage his temple, frowning, "No, she wasn’t like this before—"

"She wasn’t?" Xiaoliu had thought that Wa Zicong’s words to Gu Nuan earlier that he hardly recognized her were just pretense.

But now Wa Zicong said she wasn’t, what was going on?

What was going on? Why did she say she wanted nowhere but Changda? That statement, like a seed, suddenly took root in his mind.

"Help me check into it," Wa Zicong said.

"Check on her?" Xiaoliu was visibly surprised, thinking, wasn’t she dumped by Wa Zicong? Why would Wa Zicong bother to check on her?

Wa Zicong squinted his eyes, "Don’t underestimate her. Otherwise, you’ll suffer a great fall."

Xiaoliu then realized, "So Manager Wu really doesn’t want her to stay at Changda but wants to pull her into MN."

The implication was, setting aside other reasons, Gu Nuan truly was a competent talent. While Wa Zicong was loath to admit it, he couldn’t deny it, knowing full well her achievements after having dated for so many years.

Such people, of course, make better colleagues than enemies. Moreover, considering the past issues between them. It was just unexpected that today her style was not just about good performance but also tactics, instantly broadening his horizons.

The emerging agitation within him made his fingers lightly tap on the car window, "Check, what exactly is her tie with Changda? Why only Changda and nowhere else?"

Of course, Gu Nuan wasn’t staying at Changda simply because her faux husband could be the son of the company’s owner.

Her former boyfriend had left, and their past relationship was now known by everyone.

In the lobby, so many job candidates and Changda employees were painfully aware of it.

Su Yixia had called him shameless. Being exposed in front of everyone in the lobby didn’t faze him in the least.

Gu Nuan thought, Su Yixia forgot one most important thing—context matters when you insult someone.

If it were among ordinary folks or among women who had been wronged by scoundrels, such criticism would certainly stir public outrage, achieving much more. In contrast, here among a crowd of utilitarian-minded individuals like him, who would consider morals?

It amounted to nothing; the criticism fell on deaf ears.

The onlookers probably thought, you Gu Nuan might be pitiable, but after all, it’s your lack of capability as a woman that made the man leave. The couple wasn’t even married yet; you can hardly talk about morals in this situation.

Making a scene merely embarrasses oneself.

This was what Sister Cai thought of her, Gu Nuan, previously. But Sister Cai didn’t expect that Gu Nuan never thought of making a scene at all.

So, while Su Yixia was slandering him, the onlookers were just scornfully indifferent bystanders. Until the name James, the HR head at MN known by these elite candidates, was mentioned by Gu Nuan.

Qin Sinan couldn’t understand why his boyfriend suddenly took an interest in Gu Nuan. Wasn’t she just a woman proven to have been abandoned by her man?
