Chapter 82 Madness is Useful
Su Wanwan felt his gaze was a little strange and subconsciously looked away: "I drove over."
Shang Haoyan's eyes flickered. "It's been so long since we last met. Just keep me company?" It made her sound like a heartless person.
The assistant was inwardly groaning. Seriously, buddy, do you even remember you have a meeting later? A whole bunch of people are waiting for you! The plan needs to be finalized tonight, and we need to move things forward tomorrow!
The lives of working people matter too!
No matter how much the assistant is internally screaming, they still remember who their bread and butter are. They may not need to understand the boss's intentions, but they should try their best to meet the boss's needs.
"Ms. Su, I'll drive it back for you first." Assistant Lin flashed a standard eight-tooth smile.
Su Wanwan: "...Oh, thank you."
Having said all that, what else could she say?
She handed the car keys to Assistant Lin and followed Shang Haoyan into the car.
Fortunately, the cars weren't parked far apart.
Shang Haoyan opened the passenger door for Su Wanwan.
The car sped along the highway.
Su Wanwan was conflicted. She had never heard that Shang Haoyan had a girlfriend, but she couldn't be sure if he had someone he was flirting with.
Given Shang Haoyan's advantages, countless people have pursued him since childhood.
As for what happened after he went to Harvard, Su Wanwan only heard about it occasionally. It seemed that he had been in a relationship with a clan chief's daughter, but now it seems that they probably broke up.
It's a real pity about Su Wanwan.
She would have had a royal neighbor/sister-in-law.
How impressive!
"What are you thinking about?" Shang Haoyan asked. "Thinking about your boyfriend? I saw you guys at the airport just now."
"..." Su Wanwan didn't expect to be seen again. She was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't really mean it." After all, they had just separated and she was going back the day after tomorrow.
"Back then, I heard you say that you would only consider matters of love and sex after you became a great doctor. I never expected that you would be kidnapped after I only let you go back for a short time." Shang Haoyan kept his eyes straight ahead, as if he was just chatting casually.
Su Wanwan felt that she must have said those words before, but it must have been just to appease others.
However, it's one thing for her two older brothers to be overly protective of their sister, but when did Shang Haoyan start showing signs of this? Gong Wanwan felt she had to defend Xie Yanning.
“He’s very good to me.” She thought for a moment before choosing her words: “And it’s not like we’re the ones who seduced each other, is it? I also had my own plans.”
The car suddenly stopped, and due to inertia, Su Wanwan bounced violently.
"What's wrong?"
“No,” Shang Haoyan said firmly, “someone cut us off.”
Su Wanwan looked at the vehicles ahead, which were definitely at a safe distance from them, and fell into deep thought: As expected of a big boss with a driver, his driving skills are not very reliable.
"You're a rich girl, haven't you ever thought about whether you two might be incompatible?"
Su Wanwan: Why are the people around her so worried that she will live a poor life in the future and that she will meet a man from a poor background?
Xie Yanning is really rich.
But to put it bluntly would be vulgar, as if she were only after money.
“It’s okay,” Su Wanwan said confidently, “I have money, I can support him.”
While waiting at a red light, Shang Haoyan looked at her with an incredulous expression.
How come he never realized Su Wanwan was so stupid before?
Su Wanwan looked back innocently.
"Do you know what kind of person he is? Do you even know him?" Shang Haoyan almost laughed in anger. "Su Wanwan, your family is so wealthy and powerful, and you only have one daughter. Do you know how many people are after you?"
If it weren't for the good protection his family provided at the time, and his obstruction, he wouldn't have dared to imagine how many people would have followed suit.
These days, smart people are better at assessing the situation.
Especially for those from less privileged backgrounds, as long as they can get close to Su Wanwan, they can achieve upward social mobility.
Su Wanwan was surprised that Shang Haoyan cared about her so much. She said seriously, "Brother Haoyan, you don't need to worry. He's not that kind of person. Besides, he's quite good at making money. Given time, it's not impossible for him to surpass my family."
"No one will complain about not having enough money." Shang Haoyan didn't expect Su Wanwan to be so unyielding. "He's just a teacher, what can he give you?"
"In the future, our children can grow up at UW, a campus that others strive to attend their entire lives, and they can play there from a young age."
"..." Shang Haoyan slowly looked at Su Wanwan: "Are you serious?"
Do they really need to worry about degree education? If they wanted to, they could just donate a building and get a degree from any school.
"Do I look unserious?" Su Wanwan said, "In ancient times, Mencius' mother moved three times to provide her son with a good learning environment. It's such a good place."
For the first time in his life, Shang Haoyan felt that he was at a loss for words.
What kind of spell Xie Yanning cast on Su Wanwan?
Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shang Haoyan was speechless after she said that.
It turns out that going crazy is indeed useful.
After sending the person back, Shang Haoyan finished his business. By then, the city lights were already on. Standing on the 22nd floor, he could see the bustling scene of this city that never sleeps.
After finishing his report, Assistant Lin barely managed to keep his eyes open, waiting for Shang Haoyan's instructions.
But the man was only focused on showing off in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
He even lit a cigarette.
Assistant Lin wanted to remind everyone that there were no-smoking zones and smoke spraying devices in place.
Fortunately, the man eventually put out his cigarette.
It didn't cause any humiliation.
Standing by the window, Shang Haoyan's voice was slightly hoarse, "Assistant Lin, help me look up someone's information."
Assistant Lin immediately ran away from his nap.
Is it because there's another competitor he needs to investigate? He has a mature and stable network of contacts; he can gather all the information in three days.
"Mr. Shang, who should we investigate?"
"Xie Yanning."
Assistant Lin pondered for a moment, realizing he hadn't heard of many of them. Was they some upstart in the shopping mall industry? There didn't seem to be any prominent families in Hong Kong with the surname Xie.
Could it be that they are advancing from the mainland?
I haven't heard of any action taken.
Who is this?
"An associate professor at the University of Washington."
Assistant Lin: "..."
Can a professor be a competitor?
However, Assistant Lin is very professional. Maybe some company hired him with a high salary to poach him? After all, a professor from a top university can't just have a title without substance.
Su Wanwan video chatted with Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning, that shameless guy, continued to seduce her with his abs.
Su Wanwan: "Professor Xie, have some sense of male virtue. Who are you trying to impress with such a low collar?"
Xie Yanning dried her hair and asked, "Why are you looking for me so late?"
He got off the plane but still hadn't received a message from Su Wanwan.
It was he who sent it, and Su Wanwan only replied with one word: Busy.
Xie Yanning was both annoyed and amused. When it came to this kind of betrayal, Su Wanwan was second to none.
Su Wanwan rolled over in bed. "Oh dear, isn't that my brother and his family? And my adorable little nephew too."
The family gossiped about Su Wanwan's love life, but Su Wanwan easily brushed them off.
"As expected, he only thinks of me occasionally. Back then, someone even said that thinking of me was an instinct."
Su Wanwan suddenly sat up. Her pajamas weren't properly on, and the straps had slipped down, leaving a sticky mess. Su Wanwan clearly saw it through the small window, but she ignored it.
Xie Yanning's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes darkened slightly, and then he said sternly, "Put your clothes on."
Su Wanwan: "..."
How utterly clueless about romance!
