Xu Wan casually replied to a few words and hung up the phone, but she already realized in her heart that this matter was not accidental.
The law firm in Nancheng had been in contact with her for over a month, but within a week of her passing the interview, there was a sudden change in its personnel structure.
It all seems more like a change made for her.
Xu Wan stood at the entrance of the courthouse, looking at Lü Wei sitting in the car a few meters away, and a guess suddenly came to her mind.
She opened the back door and got in, getting straight to the point: "Has President Jiang contacted you recently?"
“No,” Lü Wei replied.
Xu Wan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you know where President Jiang has been working lately?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lü Wei answered, "I know."
Xu Wan said, "Take me there."
As the car started, Xu Wan suddenly felt a little desolate. She and Jiang Tingzhou had once been the closest people to each other, but now she had to go through someone else to find his whereabouts.
The car drove to the vicinity of an old town area in the northern part of the city.
This area was once the residence of foreign ambassadors to China, and it contains many villas and mansions of various styles. Regardless of how the interiors of these villas are decorated, their exteriors are required to maintain their original appearance.
Some companies in the southern part of the city or foreign companies like to set up their representative offices in China or in the northern part of the city here.
The car was parked on the side of the road outside a villa.
After getting off the bus, Xu Wan saw several familiar minivans parked on the side of the road.
The gate to the compound was open.
Several magnolia trees are planted in the garden. It is late March, early spring, and the magnolias of various colors are blooming one after another, creating a unique scene.
As soon as she stepped into the garden, a man in a suit ran down and said politely, "Madam, it's been a long time."
Xu Wan carefully examined the man's features, then asked uncertainly, "Assistant Ning?"
"yes."
Ning Hang was a little embarrassed.
When Xu Wan met him at Tianwei Group, the man was over 1.8 meters tall and weighed about 140 kilograms. He looked very capable in a suit.
It seems that his weight has increased exponentially since I last saw him.
However, Xu Wan didn't care about these things and reminded him, "Your boss and I are no longer husband and wife, so you don't need to call me that."
Ning Hang did not respond to the topic, but turned to the side and made a "please" gesture, saying, "I will take you to the second floor."
The interior of the villa has clearly been renovated, and the style is very rustic in order to maintain consistency with the exterior decoration.
The building is filled with ceramic antiques, and the corridors are lined with traditional Chinese paintings of different styles.
Each item looks incredibly valuable.
Ning Hang led Xu Wan to a double wooden door at the end of the second-floor corridor and said politely, "Miss Xu, please."
Back when she was at Tianwei, everyone in the president's office knew that she and Jiang Tingzhou were husband and wife. Even so, sometimes when she went to see Jiang Tingzhou, Ning Hang would knock on the door and ask for permission first.
Let her in now.
The man knew she would come.
Xu Wan didn't stand on ceremony. She pressed down the handle of half of the wooden door, pushed the door open, and went straight in.
This office is much smaller than Tianwei's, but the view is much better. There is a magnolia tree outside the window. The tree's height seems to have been carefully calculated. The magnolias blooming on the branches are neither too sparse nor too dense, just right to decorate the window view.
Jiang Tingzhou's wheelchair was parked behind the desk in front of the window.
Xu Wan walked a few steps to the desk and asked bluntly, "You ruined my new job, didn't you?"
Jiang Tingzhou looked up at her slightly and asked, "Why do you want to go to Nancheng?"
"President Jiang, don't you think it's a bit ridiculous that you're only asking this question now?" Xu Wan laughed in exasperation. "You ruined my new job and now you're asking me why I'm going to Nancheng?"
“That law firm isn’t good; many of the lawyers there are involved through nepotism. It’s not suitable for you.” The man paused, then said, “If you like Nancheng, I can recommend a more suitable law firm for you.”
When Xu came late, she was probably still angry.
She calmed down after hearing the man's self-righteous remarks.
“Okay, I’ll answer you. I’m going to Nancheng.” Xu Wan tried to raise the corners of her mouth. “Because I’ve figured it out. I want to let go of everything from the past, go to a new place, and start a new life. It doesn’t matter what kind of law firm I go to, or what kind of colleagues I have. I just want to go to a place that has nothing to do with you anymore and start a new life. That’s all.”
Xu Wan carefully and clearly expressed her desires and thoughts, word by word.
