The elevator was cramped and brightly lit. Xu Wan looked down at the man in the wheelchair as she spoke.
He seemed to make no move, simply uttering two words: "So-so."
"Really? He's just over thirty and the youngest founder of Red Circle. Of course, his achievements can't compare to yours, but he's already quite remarkable among his peers."
As Xu Wan finished speaking, the elevator had already reached the second-to-last floor where the man lived.
Xu Wan pushed the wheelchair out of the elevator. Jiang Tingzhou knew there was no reason to object, but he still said, "You two are in the same industry, right? Couples in the same industry often quarrel."
"Really? My ex-husband and I were in the same industry, and we had a very good relationship."
Xu Wan said that on purpose.
"Ex-husband?" Jiang Tingzhou asked, "Did you and your husband get a divorce? What is your marital status on your household registration?"
At this moment, Xu Wan had already pushed the wheelchair to the door of the man's room.
She took her hands off the armrests of her wheelchair and said earnestly, "You reminded me that we haven't gone through the divorce process yet. But he's been missing for so long, he's definitely not in this world anymore. I'll go back and file for divorce in court."
Jiang Tingzhou remained silent.
Xu Wan said, "Good night, Mr. Ryan. I'll be going now."
The corridor was quiet. Jiang Tingzhou sat motionless in his wheelchair, gripping the armrests tightly, listening to the sound of the woman's shoes scraping against the carpet fading into the distance.
-
The next day.
Xu Wan woke up and had breakfast in the hotel's business restaurant. As soon as she entered, she saw another familiar figure at the food counter.
It's Gu Qing.
The man quickly noticed her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Junior, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?"
“I have a client here attending some kind of summit, and I came along so I could talk to her about work.”
When Xu Wan explained, she had already guessed why the man was there.
Gu Qing also runs a technology company, and his company is involved in artificial intelligence, which is a mainstream field.
They were definitely invited to attend this summit.
Gu Qing was indeed there because of this meeting. He explained, "I had something to do yesterday and couldn't get away, so I arrived a day late. What are your plans for today? Are you going back to Beicheng?"
Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yesterday, the client took me into the meeting room. I found the content very interesting, but I wasn't invited and couldn't go in on my own..."
"Then I'll take you inside."
Gu Qing immediately understood what Xu Wan meant.
After so many years, their relationship is no longer as strained as before; they can now be considered friends who can talk to each other.
But that's where it ends; it's impossible to go any further.
The two of them got some breakfast together and found a seat by the window.
Gu Qingzhen assumed that Xu Wan was interested in the content of the summit, so she began to tell her about the theme of the summit.
After listening for a long time, Xu Wan asked, "Do you know Ryan from Yuanzhou Technology?"
“Of course, he’s a legendary figure in our field now,” Gu Qing said earnestly. “He didn’t study computer science, but his management skills are top-notch. He personally recruited the best and brightest people under his command from various companies, as well as geniuses from schools. In just a few years, he has suddenly achieved success in multiple fields, and his company owns many patents. I came here this time to see him.”
Xu Wan listened intently.
Sure enough, whatever Jiang Tingzhou wanted to do, he could do it well.
In just four years, she was still just a senior lawyer, while Jiang Tingzhou had become a legendary figure in another field.
After Gu Qing finished speaking, she asked Xu Wan, "Did you see this person yesterday?"
"I……"
"Oh my, what a coincidence!"
Before Xu Wan could speak, another voice rang out beside her.
Xu Wan turned her head to look over and saw Ying Gan pushing Jiang Tingzhou into the restaurant.
This restaurant is an executive restaurant that can only be used by a small number of guest rooms, including the presidential suite where Jiang Tingzhou and his entourage stayed.
Jiang Tingzhou's gaze swept over Gu Qing, his expression not good.
Although Gu Qing knew Ryan, she had never met him.
The two people who entered were unfamiliar faces. He turned to Xu Wan and asked, "Junior, who are these two...?"
Xu Wan increasingly felt that Haicheng was a strange place; how could she run into people she knew every time she came to such a big city?
She glanced at Jiang Tingzhou, then at Gu Qing, and said helplessly, "This is Mr. Ryan, whom you just mentioned. This is his friend, Ying Gan."
