As soon as he left, Song Nuan immediately called a locksmith to change the locks.
"I want to change the lock. Money is not a problem. I need the sturdiest kind, the kind that is hard to pry open and hard to crack."
Such straightforward and decisive customers are rare.
The craftsman gave an OK sign, took out his tools, and started fiddling with them.
Song Nuan took a moment to text Fang Yu, "Did you take office today? How's it going? Qin Yuchuan shouldn't have given you any trouble, right?"
At this moment, Fang Yu was moving her things into the office and had just finished tidying up.
She replied with a voice message, "No, but Sister Nuan, many people with better resumes than me didn't get the job, but President Qin chose me... You must have helped me behind the scenes, right? Thank you."
"No need to thank me. I'm just making a recommendation. Whether or not he uses the person is his own decision and depends on your ability. It has little to do with me."
Fang Yu was very moved.
Previously at the Song family, she had always been suppressed by Xie Lingyu. If she hadn't stood up for Song Nuan and followed her to the Qin family, she might still be sinking deeper and deeper into the swamp of the Song family.
Since it was during working hours, Song Nuan didn't chat with her for too long, and hung up after saying a few words.
Fang Yu stared at the nameplate on the table for a while, then took out her phone and called Xu Yiran, "Yiran, are you free later?"
"What's wrong?"
Her voice was hoarse and muffled, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
"Qin Yuchuan is going to a neighboring city for a short business trip later. It's to follow up on the project that Song Ningxue negotiated. I suspect she'll be going too."
Xu Yiran jumped up in a flash, instantly perking up, "Give me the seat."
Two hours later.
A group of men in suits appeared at the entrance of a star-rated hotel. A business van pulled up, and Xu Yiran zoomed in. The man who got out of the car was Qin Yuchuan.
She snapped a few photos and was about to put her camera away when a slender figure suddenly appeared in the frame.
It was none other than Song Ningxue.
Walking up to Qin Yuchuan, she naturally took his arm.
Xu Yiran's expression changed instantly. She raised her camera, snapping photos while cursing, "Your skin is thicker than a city wall!"
Hotel corridor.
"Xue'er, you've had a hard day. Go back and rest." Qin Yuchuan stood at the door and turned to the woman beside him.
Zheng Siyuan glanced at him, understood immediately, and then handed the room key to Song Ningxue. "Miss Song, your room is on the tenth floor. Would you like me to take you there?"
This is the twelfth floor.
There were vacant rooms next door. Song Ningxue knew that Qin Yuchuan had deliberately asked Zheng Siyuan to book their rooms on separate floors.
She knows everything.
"Brother Chuan, I have something I want to tell you." Song Ningxue forced a smile but did not take the room key.
Zheng Siyuan was caught in a dilemma and could only look to Qin Yuchuan.
Qin Yuchuan pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, then swiped his card to open the door. "Come in."
Song Ningxue followed him inside.
He walked straight to the sofa and sat down without even pouring water. He crossed his long legs and said indifferently, "What is it? Speak."
Qin Yuchuan's attitude could be described as indifferent.
If they are just partners, his attitude is perfectly fine.
But Song Ningxue wanted more than just a simple business partnership.
She gritted her teeth, then smiled and sat down next to him. Her thigh accidentally brushed against his hand. The man frowned slightly, but said nothing.
His tacit approval helped Song Ningxue regain some confidence.
But she didn't push her luck. "Brother Chuan, the project has been finalized now. This is an S-level project. If the position of project manager remains vacant, it will be very inconvenient to coordinate work in the future."
Qin Yuchuan watched her silently.
He could roughly guess what Song Ningxue wanted to say.
"so?"
"Since my sister is gone and you haven't found a suitable replacement, why don't you let me take her place?"
Song Ningxue looked at him, her eyes sparkling, but Qin Yuchuan knew that what shone in those eyes was calculation, calculation towards Song Nuan.
He didn't mind that Song Ningxue coveted Song Nuan's position.
"good."
Song Ningxue was stunned. She didn't expect him to agree, and she didn't expect him to agree so quickly.
"Really?
Qin Yuchuan looked at her and said, "The manager position is already filled. I will put you in charge of the same project. Whether you can stay or not depends on your own abilities."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, instantly sobering Song Ningxue up.
That's enough.
After acquiring the shares in the Song family business, she learned that Song Nuan had gone abroad. Excited, she couldn't sleep all night. With Song Nuan gone, it was the perfect opportunity for her to seize control of the Song family business.
However, no matter how much she pleaded and begged, Song Zhiren refused to let her work for Song's company.
She didn't hold as many shares as Song Nuan, and Song Zhiren wouldn't let her join the company to take over work, wasn't that because he was keeping an eye on her?
Fortunately, there's always a way out.
Song Nuan not only went abroad, but also resigned from Qin's company.
In order to become the project manager, she tried to win over Ouyang Chengyi and help him deal with Song Nuan. However, before anything was even settled, Ouyang Chengyi seemed to have vanished into thin air and could not be contacted at all.
She then poured her heart and soul into introducing this S-level project to Qin Yuchuan.
Now that the project contract has been signed, even if Qin Yuchuan doesn't acknowledge it, he still owes her a real favor.
At least, she had a chance to manipulate Qin Yuchuan.
Song Ningxue smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay, I will show you with my abilities that choosing me was the right decision."
Her eyes were resolute. Song Ningxue and Song Nuan did not look alike, but for some reason, Qin Yuchuan suddenly saw Song Nuan's shadow in her.
He closed his eyes, pretending that he hadn't slept well last night.
However, this moment of realization also made him put away his indifference; he was not entirely heartless towards Song Ningxue.
After all, the two had a child together.
"Actually, you don't need to suffer at the Qin family's place."
Qin Yuchuan looked at her, a barely perceptible pity in his eyes, "If you need money, you can come to me."
Song Ningxue stared at him blankly, her eyes instantly reddening. She turned her face away, so her expression was not visible. Qin Yuchuan could only see her raise her hand to wipe her face.
She cried?
He pursed his lips, hesitating whether or not to comfort her.
Suddenly, Song Ningxue turned around, looking at him with her watery eyes, "Brother Chuan, you know I don't lack money, I just want to be closer to you."
Qin Yuchuan frowned upon hearing this.
"Ningxue, we've already broken up. Don't waste your time on me."
"Can't we get back together after breaking up?"
She yelled, but her voice wasn't actually loud at all; it was soft and endearing, like a cat's meow, tickling Qin Yuchuan's heart and giving him an urge to pull her into his arms.
"Qin Yuchuan, after all I've done, don't you really know what my purpose is?"
"As you said, once I got the shares, I could have stayed with the Song family, received a share of the profits every year, and lived a carefree life as a pampered young lady without having to worry about anything. But I still went to several cities and met with several people in charge to help you secure the opportunity to discuss an S-level project."
Qin Yuchuan said, "I know, that's why I agreed to give you the opportunity to compete for the manager position."
