Because she was addicted

The office has been decorated with some feminine items, a stark contrast to the previous style.

Wen Jia entered the office and found Shen Yu there as well.

Tang Ning was talking to him, the two chatting and laughing intimately. Seeing Wen Jia enter, Tang Ning pointed to Shen Yu.

"Wen Jia, starting today, the Marketing Department and the New Business Unit will be merged into one. General Manager Shen is very experienced and will assist me as the second-in-command of the New Business Unit. You two get to know each other."

Wen Jia was secretly surprised.

Shen Yu stood up and extended his hand, "Manager Wen, I hope we can cooperate well in the future."

Wen Jia initially didn't want to pay him any attention, but Shen Yu had helped her during her seduction. Putting aside past grievances, she still had to remember this favor.

She reached out and gently shook hands with Shen Yu.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Tang Ning looked at Wen Jia and smiled enigmatically.

"I've made an appointment with Mr. Li from Guanglan Technology for dinner tonight. Wen Jia, would you like to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu suddenly interjected:

"Mr. Tang, Wen Jia doesn't drink alcohol, so I can accompany you to the dinner party tonight."

This Mr. Li likes drinking and beautiful women. After a few drinks, he likes to get handsy. Shen Yu is worried that Wen Jia will be taken advantage of.

But Tang Ning waved his hand,

"President Shen, if Wen Jia can't learn how to socialize and network, what's the point of her coming to the sales department? Wouldn't it be better for her to stay in the president's office as a secretary?"

As he spoke, he turned to Wen Jia and asked:

"Manager Wen, is there a problem?"

Wen Jia gritted her teeth.

In the business department, daily social interactions and networking are unavoidable. She can't very well say that she only sits in the office writing reports and doing research, and ignores external social interactions. Besides, Guanglan Technology is an important partner in her new business unit project.

"Yes, Mr. Tang," Wen Jia replied with a smile.

Tang Ning chuckled and said to Shen Yu:

"President Shen, you see, I told you Manager Wen is very capable. Don't worry, we'll bring Gu Nan along tonight, we won't make things difficult for Manager Wen."

After leaving Tang Ning's office, Shen Yu followed her into Wen Jia's office.

"Jiajia, you used to work in an office and didn't have to go out to socialize. You've never experienced this kind of situation before. This General Manager Li is very capable and not easy to deal with."

Wen Jia: "Thank you for reminding me."

The two had been broken up for so long, and it had been a long time since they had spoken so calmly.

Shen Yu was inexplicably excited.

"Jiajia, you'll stay with me tonight, I'll take good care of you."

After thinking about it, Wen Jia decided to thank Shen Yu in person.

"Thank you so much for the alluring thing that day."

Shen Yu waved his hand.

"Don't blame me for not calling the police. After all, this is Mr. Lin's territory. Even if I had called the police, it wouldn't have solved the problem. In fact, it would have been detrimental to you."

He paused, then asked:

"Is your brother feeling better? If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

"He's much better. There's nothing else I can help him with."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shen Yu went out to have someone move his office.

After Nie Xuming left, all the people he brought with him returned to Hong Kong. Many seats in the office became empty.

In the afternoon, the entire marketing department moved upstairs.

It took a whole afternoon for the various departments to calm down.

Yaqin also moved back, but the difference was that when she left she was a specialist, and after coming back she was a project manager in charge of a small project.

Yaqin even came to Wenjia's office to say hello, calling Wenjia by her name as soon as she entered.

Wen Jia ignored her.

Yaqin went out after making a round and talked to Chen Dong in his seat for a while.

That evening, Tang Ning asked Wen Jia to go to the hotel with her car.

In the car, Tang Ning talked about Lu Chenyan.

"Ayan didn't study architecture before; he studied art—oil painting and sculpture, you know?"

Wen Jia shook her head.

She had never heard Lu Chenyan mention it.

Tang Ning glanced at her sideways, her eyes filled with disdain, but her tone remained relatively gentle.

"His older brother studied architecture and was already a recognized genius in the industry at the age of seventeen. Ayan preferred to play around. He did whatever he liked, such as painting, sculpting, boxing, rock climbing, and diving. He mastered whatever he did. He was also a genius. He held an art exhibition at the age of fifteen, and his paintings were auctioned for seven figures."

Do you know why he later switched to studying architecture?

Tang Ning turned her head and asked again.

Wen Jia shook her head again.

The Lu Chenyan that Tang Ning mentioned was completely unfamiliar to her; it was as if she were listening to the life story of a stranger.

"He went to England for me."

Tang Ning's face was filled with a dreamy look; she was immersed in the sweetness of her memories.

"I lived near Bartlett, and he rented an attic in an old lady's house across the street so he could see me more often. I know he looked at me through the attic window every day for four years."

The attic was cramped and dark, the floorboards creaking underfoot. On rainy days, the room became damp and moldy, infested with rats and cockroaches. The moment Lu Chenyan moved slightly upstairs, the old lady would erupt in a tirade of curses from downstairs.

Wen Jia had heard Lu Chenyan mention this part before.

However, Lu Chenyan said at the time that he lived in the attic because he had gone to England without permission, and his family had cut off his financial support, so he had no money and that's why he lived there.

I never would have guessed that he lived in the attic because he wanted to see Tang Ning.

Even his unauthorized detour to England was because of Downing.

Wen Jia's heart was numb with dullness.

But she still forced a smile.

"Mr. Tang, you have no interest in these things. Mr. Lu and I have already broken up, and I have absolutely no interest in his affairs."

"Too."

Tang Ning looked at her, her delicate features still smiling gently.

"Wen Jia, A Yan is the son of the Lu family. He is destined to never live an ordinary life. To him, you are just like the things he liked and played with, just a passing fancy, a diversion from his life. It's only a matter of time before you two separate. Try to think positively."

Her voice was calm and gentle, but every word felt like a needle piercing Wen Jia's heart.

Every expression on her face says, Wen Jia, you don't deserve her!

Wen Jia's heart was burning with anger.

She was the one who provoked Lu Chenyan, and she was the one who wouldn't let go, yet everyone was lecturing her, advising her to let go, and saying she was delusional.

Wen Jia turned to Tang Ning and said:

"Mr. Tang, do you regret not accepting Lu Chenyan's marriage proposal back in England?"

Tang Ning's previously beaming face instantly froze.

"What did you say?!"

Wen Jia was neither hurried nor slow.

"Mr. Tang, it's such a pity. There's no going back in life. But even if there were, it would be too late. After all, you're already a daughter-in-law of the Fu family. Can you really get a divorce and remarry into the Lu family? As far as I know, Mrs. Lu would be the first to object. Of course, Mr. Tang, you wouldn't think that way, would you?"

Tang Ning's expression immediately changed.

Wen Jia chuckled softly and then said:

"President Tang, we women don't have to rely on men to live. Look, even if President Fu doesn't accept you, your career is still thriving, isn't it? I'll learn from you and follow your example. I will never let matters of the heart affect my work. We women should prioritize our careers, right?"

Tang Ning's face was a mess of colors when the driver called out, "Mr. Tang, we've arrived."

Tang Ning smiled,

"Wen Jia, you're right. We women really should prioritize our careers. So, I'll be counting on you to take good care of President Li later. I'm really looking to groom you for the future."
