nodded, then turned his face to look at her, "Not going to keep pretending"Xu Qinghuan squinted her eyes and smiled, "I'm not afraid of you misunderstanding me. Coming up and mentioning former classma...Chapter 33: The Marriage Certificate at the Banquet

"What"

"You should know why I chose you for this banquet." Xia Wan'yu instantly regained her noble and arrogant expression, her red lips curled slightly, her eyes condescendingly gazing at her. "I'm just being kind to remind you, if you don't want to listen, then consider it as if I never said anything."

Xia Wan Yu's expression was like a legitimate wife warning a mistress.

On the marriage certificate from their wedding, it actually says Xu Qinghuan's name.

She really wanted to retort, but the words died in her throat before they could come out!

It's just as well I didn't say it out loud...

That would cause such a big misunderstanding! Why argue with Xia Wan Yu about this, you don't even like Fu Yan Shi, do you

......

On the way back, Xu Qinghuan was unusually quiet. Her eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window.

Before, she would be awkward and quiet when alone with Fu Yan. But today was different; today, she was silent.

"Where did you go after buying things just now" Fu Yan shi's long hand rested on the steering wheel, seemingly casually asking while waiting for the traffic light.

"Just browsing around."

"What did you see that you liked"

Xu Qinghuan shook her head. "No."

Everything inside costs thousands of dollars, she wouldn't dare like it.

Fu Yan sighed, taking out a black card from the driver's armrest and handing it to her, "Take this."

"I don't need this! Mr. Fu, I'm already very grateful that you can help me pay for my mother's medical expenses!"

"Xu Qinghuan, this is for emergencies." Fu Yan shi had guessed she wouldn't want it, so he thought of a reason in advance. "There isn't much money inside, you can use it to buy some groceries after work. Since I don't like eating takeout, it can also be used if there's an emergency with your mother and you can't reach me."

His reason was one that Xu Qinghuan couldn't refuse.

Seeing her take it, Fu Yan knew he couldn't continue circling around this topic. So, he directly brought the conversation to work, "During your time studying at the headquarters, you'll be working with Secretary Lin on an EMC project."

"Contract energy management" Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghuan immediately perked up. "This is a big project!"

"Well, at the moment the SNS company plans for a new round of financing to expand its business scope, and then it will contact brokerage firms to make changes and prepare for an IPO."

Suddenly being hit by such a big pie, Xu Qinghuan was still a little confused, "But I don't know much about this side."

"So first, you'll be doing market research with Ms. Lin. It will be a bit demanding, but please compare the performance of SNS within listed and unlisted companies in the industry to see where it ranks."

“I’m not afraid of hard work!” She threw away her somewhat inexplicable low mood from minutes ago and started analyzing seriously with Fu Yan shi, “Actually, the energy-saving industry is indeed a fat piece of meat. Many cities have serious pollution, environmental protection is their top priority. There aren’t many companies doing this right now, and in recent years, you don’t have to worry about the market becoming saturated quickly.”

Fu Yan smiled and nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

He always knew, Xu Qinghuan was intelligent, she shouldn't be overlooked.

If not for the pressures of reality holding her back, she would have already secured the position of Investment Director, and perhaps even more.

"Thank you, Director Fu, for giving me this opportunity," Xu Qinghuan said sincerely.

This project is not about any bonuses or anything like that. It's directly been mentioned as a core investment by the headquarters! It's something that many of our competitors would dream of having!

"...also known as General Fu."

"It's too mushy calling him 'Mr. Fu' during a banquet," she said, completely carried away. "Otherwise, I'd still call you Fu Yan when we're alone, just like back in school." no one to chat with!”Xu Qinghuan was helpless, amused. She smirked and said, “Then you better work hard. Manager Chen is too busy to bother you now. When the year-end comes around, he'll be asking a...
