The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
037: She doesn’t care about her ex or her husband
Wen Yiyi was like a pet dog that ran away from home. She was taken in by Guo Xianzhen after just a short while. Wen Zhicheng's original intention was to let his daughter learn to be independent, but Guo Xianzhen's "overflowing love" interfered with Wen Zhicheng's plan.
When Xu Yao learned about this, Wen Yiyi had already been working at the Shen family company for several days.
No one told Xu Yao that she saw Wen Yiyi at the advertising company.
Wen Yiyi became the representative of Party A, and Xu Yao was a little confused.
"You didn't expect that?"
Wen Yiyi carefully admired the surprise on Xu Yao's face. Xu Yao came back to her senses and said, "It's really unexpected. The Shen family is really rich and powerful!"
Wen Yiyi felt that this was not a good thing to say. She asked Xu Yao what she meant. Xu Yao stammered, "I don't want to say anything too harsh, but you insist on forcing me. Only a wealthy family can afford to support an idler like you."
"you--"
Wen Yiyi immediately complained to Xu Yao's immediate superior, disliking Xu Yao's unprofessionalism. The reason was that Xu Yao spent too much time on being an internet celebrity and had no energy to do company work.
Wen Yiyi said this without even looking at Xu Yao's plan.
The team leader guessed that today's incident was probably because of Xu Yao's "ex-fiancé". He didn't expect that rich people could be so narrow-minded. Even after Xu Yao married someone else, he still came to cause trouble from time to time. The team leader felt very sympathetic to Xu Yao, but the Shen family's company was a big client. When Wen Yiyi, the representative of the first party, disliked Xu Yao, the team leader could only agree with Wen Yiyi:
"I'll show Miss Wen the alternative plan."
Xu Yao was pushed out of the meeting room by the team leader. Xu Yao was confused: "How can there be a backup plan? Who can you find to come up with a new plan when time is so tight?"
Otherwise, how could he be the team leader? Xu Yao could only be led by him. The team leader still had some smart skills.
The team leader didn't need to ask anyone to make a new plan. He turned on his computer and deleted the name "Xu Yao" from the plan document. He then took Xu Yao's plan to the conference room to show Wen Yiyi.
Half an hour later, the team leader walked out of the meeting room with Wen Yiyi, smiling apologetically.
"Miss Wen is very satisfied with our alternative plan. There are some minor details that need to be modified according to Miss Wen's wishes, but overall there are no major problems!"
Wen Yiyi was like a proud princess, and the team leader was like a eunuch serving beside Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Wen Yiyi snorted and walked past Xu Yao. Xu Yao turned her head away and didn't dare to look at Wen Yiyi.
Xu Yao was afraid that she would not be able to help laughing out loud.
After Wen Yiyi left, the team leader went from being a eunuch back to being Xu Yao's immediate superior. Xu Yao finally couldn't hold back her laughter any longer, "Is this even possible?!"
The team leader curled his lips and said, "What a fool, so easy to fool."
If the Shen family continued to let Wen Yiyi be responsible for the advertising plan, the team leader himself would have to work less overtime, so the team leader still hoped that Wen Yiyi could continue to be in charge of this business.
Xu Yao reminded the team leader not to be too greedy: "It's possible once or twice, but it's impossible to let her be responsible for it for a long time. Even if the Shen family doesn't care about the effectiveness of the advertising plan, Wen Yiyi is not someone who can stick to the job for a long time."
The team leader was very regretful and asked, "Can you think of a way to improve Miss Wen's interest in work?"
Xu Yao thought for a moment. For the sake of the team's performance, she really gave it her all: "How about this, every time Wen Yiyi comes to look at the plan, you call me over and scold me. She will definitely be very motivated to work."
The team leader was very satisfied with Xu Yao's awareness.
"I'll definitely give you extra points on this year's performance review!"
Wen Yiyi said that Xu Yao invested too much energy in her side job, but the team leader didn't care at all.
No matter what Xu Yao does after get off work, she does her main job very well, and the team leader is not so bored that he wants to drive away his right-hand man.
When the day comes that Xu Yao’s side job conflicts with her main job, the team leader won’t have to make a choice, as Xu Yao can weigh the pros and cons herself - let’s talk about the future later!
After Xu Yao got home from get off work, she told Gu Jun about Wen Yiyi's provocation at the company as a joke.
Gu Jun's attention was particularly different: "The Shen family took her in, but Uncle Wen didn't take any follow-up actions?"
Xu Yao shook her head. "I even called my mom on the way home from get off work. She said Uncle Wen was disheartened and didn't want to care about Wen Yiyi anymore. She also said that when Wen Yiyi got hurt outside, she would know to go home."
Gu Jun had a different opinion on this. When Xu Yao pressed him, Gu Jun just shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
"Hey, tell me!"
Xu Yao was anxious, "You said half and half, and that made me even more anxious."
"Then I said... I think Uncle Wen is just going with the flow. He might want to bring Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan together."
After Gu Jun finished speaking, he looked into Xu Yao's eyes. He wanted to know what Xu Yao's expression was when she heard that Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan were together.
Xu Yao was slightly startled. "You said Uncle Wen wanted to bring Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan together?"
"That's just my guess."
Gu Jun did not see any sadness on Xu Yao's face. It seemed that Xu Yao simply couldn't understand this matter.
In Xu Yao's opinion, if Wen Zhicheng wanted to marry into the Shen family, he could have openly discussed the matter with them. Wen Yiyi was Wen Zhicheng's only daughter, and Wen Zhicheng's business was doing well. Wen Yiyi's conditions fully met Guo Xianzhen's criteria for selecting a daughter-in-law, and she and Shen Yan were truly a perfect match.
Before, Xu Yao felt that Wen Yiyi was not worthy of Chen Yan. But after Chen Yan said at the wedding banquet that he would provide Gu Jun with a job in the future, Xu Yao felt that Chen Yan and Wen Yiyi could actually communicate.
Wen Zhicheng had this idea but didn't put it forward directly. Was it because he was concerned about Lin Meixian's thoughts and outsiders' comments?
Xu Yao couldn't figure it out, so she stopped dwelling on it. "No matter what Uncle Wen thinks, it's not convenient for my mother to interfere. Of course, I have no right to interfere either."
Xu Yao really didn't seem to care.
Gu Jun was inexplicably in a good mood.
Holding hands at the wedding banquet a few days ago had brought about a subtle shift in Gu Jun and Xu Yao's relationship. These days, Gu Jun could smell the faint scent of osmanthus. His current annoyance was that the specific atmosphere of the wedding banquet had been detached, and the relationship between him and Xu Yao was drifting closer to that of "roommates."
Even though Xu Yao no longer had that kind of feeling for Shen Yan, she also had no feelings for Gu Jun.
Maybe for Xu Yao, the occasional small throbbing is not a long-term heartbeat, but Gu Jun is somewhat greedy for that momentary throbbing. For this reason, Gu Jun even asked the love veteran Jiang Zhiyan for advice in the form of "I have a friend". Jiang Zhiyan's expression when looking at Gu Jun is so wonderful.
After being severely ridiculed by Jiang Zhiyan, Gu Jun received advice from a veteran in the love field.
Jiang Zhiyan said that women all like romance, and married life will wear away the romance of love. He suggested to Gu Jun... Oh no, he suggested to Gu Jun's "friend" that he should not go back and forth between the company and home every day, but should create more surprises and romance for his wife.
"Isn't a short date on the weekend and a romantic dinner on the weekday better than just staring at each other at home?"
Gu Jun felt that Jiang Zhiyan's suggestion made sense.
He spent two days comparing scenic spots in the suburbs of South City and selected the three most suitable ones for Xu Yao to visit this weekend. Xu Yao now had a strong aversion to the word "fun," and she looked hesitant when she heard this. "I have a meeting with the promotion manager of the cosmetics brand this Saturday. If things go well, we'll sign the contract this weekend."
Xiaoling put a lot of effort into negotiating this promotion. There were times when she felt so stressed that she almost collapsed, and Xu Yao even wondered if her price was too high. Fortunately, their persistence paid off, and the other party finally agreed to Xiaoling's offer!
Xu Yao is really focused on her career now, and cultivating her relationship with her married husband has to take precedence over her career.
Gu Jun finally took the initiative to ask Xu Yao out on a date, but was rejected.
What was the worst part? The worst part was that Gu Jun couldn't show his dissatisfaction, as that would make him seem petty. He agreed dryly with Xu Yao: "Your work is the most important."
