Chapter 564 Female Assistant
Wen Lan walked into the house and saw Nuan Nuan sitting in the living room in silence.
In the past, Wen Lan would definitely blame Nuan Nuan for meeting Jiang Guan, but the nearly three-year cold war experience with Nuan Nuan told her -
Calm down, calm down.
"I just went for a walk in the community. When did you come back?" Wen Lan lied with a smile while taking off her coat.
As long as Nuan Nuan didn't mention what happened in the coffee shop just now, she pretended not to know.
"I just met Jiang Guan." Nuan Nuan sat in front of the window with her back to her, her voice was lonely, "He wanted to reconcile, but I refused."
Wen Lan didn't expect Nuan Nuan to be so frank, and said with relief: "It's easy to refuse once, but it takes a lot of courage and persistence to keep refusing."
"If I can refuse the first time, I can refuse the second time, the third time..." Nuan Nuan said faintly, "People can't fall into the same thing twice."
Wen Lan heard some bitterness, and reached out to hug Nuan Nuan, "I'm glad that you can realize this now. If Jiang Guan pesters you again, your father and I will find a way."
"I'll solve my own problems." Nuan Nuan pulled Wen Lan's hand away and went back to the bedroom on the first floor.
Wen Lan looked at her slender back, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
If Nuan Nuan hadn't met Jiang Guan, she should still be a carefree little princess now.
It was almost dawn when Xie Yansheng came back, with a faint smell of alcohol on his body. Wen Lan complained while opening the bedroom window.
Xie Yansheng took off his tie and lay on the bed, smiling at Wen Lan, "I met a partner of Xiaotong Law Firm at a dinner party tonight, and I learned that Xiaotong won a difficult real estate dispute case alone. With this lawsuit, he has been promoted from an intern to a practicing lawyer."
"Xiaotong is really impressive." Wen Lan praised sincerely, "Jian Ning will be very happy if she knows."
"I don't know if Jian Ning is happy or not, but the Shen family is quite ostentatious. They tell everyone that their son has become a practicing lawyer and they are going to set up a few tables in Yuxiangfang this Sunday." Xie Yansheng looked disdainful, took off his shoes, and adjusted his lying position to be comfortable.
Wen Lan did not respond.
She and Shen Yi have been living in Beijing for many years, and they meet several times a year. Basically, they say hello and then go about their own business.
The relationship between the two is as transparent as a thin piece of rice paper, but as long as she participates in topics related to Shen Yi, Xie Yansheng will get jealous and make trouble with her.
She had learned her lesson long ago, and chose to remain silent whenever it came to things related to Shen Yi.
"The one with the surname Shen is a lawyer, and Xiaotong studied at the University of Political Science and Law, and studied law. She is on the same path as the one with the surname Shen. Lanlan, do you think this is called following in the footsteps of the father?" Xie Yansheng asked again.
Wen Lan did not respond, but brought up another topic, "Jiang Guan came to see Nuan Nuan this evening, wanting to reconcile, but fortunately Nuan Nuan did not agree, but I don't know how long Nuan Nuan can hold on."
"This matter depends entirely on Nuan Nuan. Even if we, as parents, control her, we can't control her heart." Xie Yansheng leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled her to the bed, lowering his voice, "Let's not talk about them, and enjoy our world of two people."
As an old couple who have lived together for more than 20 years, they can guess what they want to do next with just a look and a gesture.
Wen Lan skillfully unbuttoned Xie Yansheng's shirt and inadvertently smelled a faint fragrance.
Women are always sensitive to smells, especially those that are not part of their own life.
Wen Lan quickly found the "origin" of the faint fragrance near the third button of Xie Yansheng's shirt.
A few white foundation stains as small as millet grains, although inconspicuous, the fragrance they emit is fascinating.
It belongs to a woman, and a very scheming woman.
Because it is a white shirt, it is really hard to tell if you don't look carefully.
In recent years, no matter how Wen Lan guards against it, there will always be one or two rotten peach blossoms that don't know how to live or die and fall on Xie Yansheng.
"What's so good about the shirt? It's more interesting to take it off for me." Xie Yansheng didn't notice the change in Wen Lan's expression at all, and her warm palm had already landed on her back.
She frowned and pointed at the foundation stains, "Which woman fell on you again?"
Xie Yansheng glanced at it lightly and laughed: "Sure enough, nothing can escape Mrs. Xie's eyes."
"Don't say it was the waitress's carelessness this time. This fragrance is the blue wind bell foundation that OL has just launched. Ordinary women can't afford it." Wen Lan pulled his hand away with a cold face, got off the bed and staggered a little distance from him.
He then realized that Wen Lan was angry, and immediately became serious: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I met Huo Shuyue at the dinner party tonight."
Wen Lan's face darkened when she heard the name.
In the few years after giving birth to Xie Beiheng and Xie Nanchen, Wen Lan has been a full-time mother at home. Xie Yansheng has no assistant. Li Duan is both the vice president of Shengyan and Xie Yansheng's secretary, and he is very busy.
The Human Resources Department has assigned four or five assistants to Xie Yansheng in succession, but none of them can satisfy Xie Yansheng until Huo Shuyue appears.
Huo Shuyue not only has a good appearance and figure, but also has a high degree of education. After studying business at Beijing University, she went to study in the United States and joined a well-known investment bank on Wall Street. She resigned from the investment bank and returned to China after less than two years.
The first company she applied for after returning to China was Shengyan. According to her education and resume, the board of directors decided to give her the position of chief financial officer, but she refused.
During the interview, she said in front of Xie Yansheng and several senior executives of Shengyan that she gave up the generous salary of a Wall Street investment bank to join Shengyan because she admired Xie Yansheng.
When she said she wanted to be Xie Yansheng's assistant, everyone, including Xie Yansheng, was shocked.
But she also successfully attracted Xie Yansheng's attention. Xie Yansheng asked her why she wanted to be the president's assistant, whose position was not high and whose salary was far less than that of the financial officer.
She said calmly that she was too impetuous in the two years in the investment bank, and wanted to calm down and start from scratch to learn something from Mr. Xie.
Xie Yansheng smiled and asked her what she wanted to learn. She said she would learn how to be a person, how to make business decisions, and how to communicate from Mr. Xie...
She said a lot of things, which were obviously flattering words, but Xie Yansheng was very useful. He personally decided to keep her, but he did not put her in the position of assistant at the beginning, but let her go to the finance department for training.
Little did he know that this training lasted for two years.
At that time, Xie Yansheng wanted to avoid suspicion and did not want to put this young and beautiful girl by his side, but several assistants were not good enough, so he had to accept the recommendation of the human resources manager and transfer Huo Shuyue.
Huo Shuyue has experience working in investment banks and is meticulous, which is unique to women. She is very successful as the president's assistant.
Xie Yansheng was wary of Huo Shuyue, after all, there were many women who tried every means to get his attention over the years.
But after two months, Huo Shuyue behaved well and did her job well, so Xie Yansheng officially decided to keep her as an assistant.
