She hadn't looked in that direction since she entered, and hadn't noticed that the seat she'd always been sitting in was occupied by someone else. She seemed to be used to going straight to this seat every time she came here. However, habits are hard to change.

So, when she walked to this position, put down her computer and prepared to sit down, she saw that the position in front of her was already occupied.

She frowned slightly in disgust.

When Chen Lu saw her put the computer on the table and stopped moving, he slowly raised his head with a kind face. He looked at her and then at her computer on the table. He seemed to understand something and asked politely: "Is this the seat you usually sit?"

"It's okay, you sit down, I'll find another seat." Zhang Wan responded politely, picked up the computer and turned to leave.

Shen Lu quickly stopped her: "Wait a moment,"

Zhang Wan stopped and turned to look at her: "?"

"If you don't mind, let's go together!" Shen Lu asked her opinion enthusiastically and generously.

Faced with the warm invitation from this exquisite woman, she hesitated a bit. She wasn't just here for coffee, she also had to work, and she didn't like having people around her while she worked. But she only liked sitting in this seat, so she was a little hesitant.

How could these Shenlu not discover it? She also saw the hesitation in her eyes, and with a twinkle in her eyes, she said, "I can see that you like sitting here very much. How about this, you continue to sit here, and I will change seats. After all, a gentleman does not take away what others love."

After saying that, he smiled slightly and was about to close the computer and stand up.

"No need to change, let's sit together."

When Zhang Wan saw the woman in front of her immediately stand up and give her seat to her, she immediately stopped her and agreed to her proposal.

After all, the cafe was so big and she was too lazy to find another seat.

"Don't you mind?" Shen Lu asked back.

Zhang Wan shook her head generously and said with a smile: "I don't mind, I'll just treat it as making friends with you."

Zhang Wan had accidentally glanced at her computer screen, which was filled with financial data analysis. Even though it was just a glance, she was certain that even professionals might not understand it. This person was no ordinary person. That was why she was interested in her. Otherwise, at her age, it would be difficult for her to make friends.

The two of them sat down again and began to work on their computers. The waiter also brought Zhang Wan's coffee.

......

After a while, Shen Lu received a call on her phone, but her phone was set to silent mode and she didn't pay attention.

But this sudden light was noticed by Zhang Wan on the opposite side.

"Ma'am, there's an incoming call on your cell phone." Zhang Wan kindly reminded.

When Shen Lu heard this, he glanced at it and replied nonchalantly, “Oh, it’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

Then it got busy again.

But after a few minutes, the black screen of the phone lit up again.

Zhang Wan looked at her as if she didn't see anything and didn't care.

But the opponent seemed to be unwilling to give up and kept fighting. Zhang Wan couldn't help but remind her: "Why don't you answer it? What if there's an emergency?"

Chen Lu looked up and smiled, then reached out to pick up the phone and hung up directly, explaining to her: "These calls are all from the leaders of those companies. I don't know where they heard that I returned to China, so they tried their best to invite me over. Look, these calls just now were from Jiayi and Xinchen."

Zhang Wan was a bit surprised. Jiayi and Xinchen were both well-known and established companies in Yuncheng. Unlike companies like Ning's, which started from scratch, these two companies had centuries of heritage, having been run by three generations. While not as profitable as the current Ning's, they were still well-established and had a solid foundation. If someone could be invited by these two companies, they must be quite someone.

Zhang Wan's eyes flashed with a strange look, and she asked tentatively, "From what I know, these two companies are quite strong. Since they sincerely invite you, I believe the conditions they offer are very good. And I guess you have strong abilities, so why don't you take this opportunity and accept the position?"

There's no way. After being a boss for a long time, I can't help but chat with talented people when I see them.

Shen Lu smiled and met those equally astute eyes, no less so, but he just said lightly: "They are not suitable for me."

Zhang Wan became interested upon hearing this: "Oh? How do you know?"

As soon as Shen Lu saw her eyes light up, he knew that she had become interested...

So, she stopped hiding it and began to analyze it using her clever mind and her own preparation.

"These two companies are indeed good, with a solid foundation. They have been able to steadily develop to their current state after three generations of management. This is truly impressive. However, a major weakness of their stable development model is that they are not willing to take risks."

Zhang Wan listened with great interest, and her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at her as she spoke.

Chen Lu also noticed Zhang Wan's expression at the moment and continued without revealing any flaws, "In today's society, the most taboo thing is to live in a comfort zone, especially in investment and finance. If you want high returns, you can't be afraid of taking high risks, so the key is whether you are willing to take this step."

Zhang Wan nodded in satisfaction, her eyes overflowing with admiration. Although this woman, whom she had just met, was a dozen years younger than she, her abilities were certainly not inferior to hers. She hadn't seen such talent in a long time. She could pinpoint the potential problems of a century-old company. She was truly a rare talent.

"You are very special." Zhang Wan couldn't help but praise.

Shen Lu shook his head modestly.

Zhang Wan took out a business card from her bag and handed it to her. "Come to me if you need anything."
