Chapter 893 Wen Qingyi Arrives in New York
Why does her father insist on forcing her to leave Gong Lian?
Where did he hear all those rumors from?
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen's face darkened: "How dare you say that? If I didn't let you come back, would I just stand by and watch you and Gong Lian get back together?!"
And she was actually pregnant with Gong Lian's child!
He, as the father, knew nothing at all! He was completely kept in the dark by her!
Is this reasonable?
"Why not?" Wen Qingyi retorted fiercely, "Dad, Gong Lian was originally my fiancé. Even if I wanted to get back together with him, what's wrong with that? Besides, didn't you think Gong Lian and I were a good match before?"
Why is Dad's attitude so different this time?
What exactly happened?
"That was before, not now."
Grandpa Wen stared at her with a complicated expression: "Qingyi, you'd better break up with Gong Lian, give up everything in the capital, and find a new job. Wouldn't that be better than you constantly having to put up with Gong Lian's attitude?"
Judging from Gong Lian's expression?
Did Dad find out something?
Thinking of this, Wen Qingyi's heart began to panic: "Dad, you are against me entering the entertainment industry. I can give up being a star, but can you let me be with Gong Lian again?"
"As long as you agree to let me get back together with Gong Lian, I'll agree to any condition you set!"
You can agree to any condition?
Grandpa Wen seemed to have been waiting for her to say this: "Alright, I want you to go and be the special assistant to Second Young Master Xu, to readjust to life in North America, and to settle down in New York on your own. Then I will agree to let you be with Gong Lian."
He was doing exactly what Bo Xilai wanted him to do.
However, he couldn't reveal anything.
"Dad, why do you insist that I become Xu Chen's assistant?" Wen Qingyi couldn't understand: "You know that I have had an ambiguous relationship with Xu Chen. What if his wife, Miss Lu, finds out? How am I supposed to face the second young master Xu?"
If her father hadn't mentioned Xu Chen to her, she would have almost forgotten about him during her time in China.
Xu Chen is now married to Lu Nanchu, and it's time for her to find her own happiness.
But her father always seemed to go against her wishes.
Grandpa Wen didn't care about any of that: "That's your problem, you go and solve it yourself."
"If you don't do as I say, then you'd better stay home and not go anywhere!"
Without a doubt, he was forcing Wen Qingyi to make a choice, forcing her to choose life in New York.
He simply couldn't believe that, even after he had pushed her to this point, she still wouldn't be willing to go to New York as Bo Xilai wished.
"Fine, I'll go to New York, okay? I'll be his assistant, okay?" Wen Qingyi was forced into a corner: "But Dad, you have to promise me that after I go to work in New York, you won't object to me being with Gong Lian anymore."
She didn't forget to take the opportunity to negotiate with Old Master Wen.
She knew her father better than anyone else, and if she didn't take this opportunity to negotiate with him, he might object in the future.
It's better to solve it all at once.
Grandpa Wen nodded gently: "I promise you."
Having received his assurance, Wen Qingyi reached out to him for money: "Then please give me some money first. I left in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to exchange currency!"
"There's $100,000 in this card," Grandpa Wen said, handing her a bank card. "That's enough for you to live on in New York."
Wen Qingyi took the bank card and smiled faintly: "Thank you, Dad."
After saying that, Wen Qingyi dragged her luggage and left the Wen family villa again.
...
The following day.
The headquarters of Luke's Bank in Manhattan, New York.
"Young Master Xu, someone outside is looking for you. They say they want to apply for your special assistant position."
Xu Chen didn't even look up: "Let her in."
"yes."
The secretary quickly brought Wen Qingyi in and then thoughtfully closed the door for them, leaving only Wen Qingyi and Xu Chen in the office.
"It's you?" Xu Chen was stunned the moment he looked up and saw Wen Qingyi. "Weren't you in Beijing? What are you doing in New York?"
Could it be that she's the one applying for his special assistant position?
Upon hearing this, Wen Qingyi smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see, Achen."
“I was supposed to be in Beijing, but my father called me back, thinking I was neglecting my duties. I had no choice but to follow his advice and come to New York to be your special assistant.”
"So, the person your father called me to say he wanted to introduce me to a special assistant was actually you?"
Xu Chen never expected that he would see her again in New York: "You've always been a female celebrity, isn't it too much of a waste to make you a special assistant?"
After all, Wen Qingyi had always lived a life of luxury in China and had never experienced any hardship.
Even when she was a maid working for Gong Lian, the workload was never considered very heavy.
But Lu's Bank is different; being his special assistant here can be very tiring.
Can she endure this hardship with her physique?
"No." Wen Qingyi felt that the working environment here was even better than that of the Gong family. "Actually, for me now, I'm already very satisfied to have a job."
"But, as your special assistant, how much am I paid?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen smiled faintly: "No one working at Lu's Bank has a low salary, but since you're new, your salary will be a little lower than the regular employees here. It's two hundred thousand US dollars a year, how about that?"
"Two hundred thousand US dollars a year?" A hint of surprise appeared in Wen Qingyi's eyes: "Of course! I didn't expect the income here to be so high!"
She had been to Manhattan before, but always as a tourist; she had never worked there.
Xu Chen, however, remained noncommittal: "If you're willing, I'll report this number to you. You can report to the HR department tomorrow. I see you're dragging your suitcase; I'm afraid you haven't even found a place to live yet?"
She looks like she came here right after getting off the plane.
Forget about finding a place to live, they probably haven't even had a chance to eat yet.
"Yes, I came here as soon as I got off the plane." Wen Qingyi then remembered to look for a house: "Achen, I don't know anyone here. Do you have a spare house for me to stay in? I can pay the rent."
She didn't trust any of the landlords outside at all.
If she happens to land a subletter, she'll definitely have very little money left.
It would be better to ask Xu Chen, an acquaintance of his, instead.
At least, the houses Xu Chen owns are generally above average, so the living conditions are definitely not bad.
Xu Chen's expression suddenly became somewhat amused: "Qingyi, do you think I look like the kind of man who would collect rent?"
Although he doesn't have many assets left, he still owns several properties, such as houses.
