That friend request was just a reason he found that would be most easily accepted by Yang Nuannuan.
"Official business", "It's related to myself".
Chen Yan felt that with these two pieces of information, Yang Nuannuan would most likely approve the friend request.
And that is indeed the case.
Yang Nuannuan accepted the reminder within a minute and asked Chen Yan why he was looking for her.
Therefore, Chen Yan also has to find a way to make this matter go away.
As he thought about it, Chen Yan suppressed the ripples in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, then imitated the tone of the HR and sent a message, "It's like this. Student Yang. Mr. Chen said that he has always admired your talent. I would like to ask, are you willing to come back to work in the company?"
After posting this, he continued, "The salary will be better. It will be about twice as much as before."
[In addition, Mr. Chen also said that you will be doing an internship in the second half of the year. He said that you can directly join the company for internship and your salary will be increased again.]
…
at the same time.
Yang Nuannuan on the other end of WeChat.
At this moment, she was sitting in the library.
She was wearing all black and black stockings. She had her hair tied up and wore black-framed glasses without lenses. She looked like a cool female executive.
She also has some of Yang Rou's majestic temperament.
She was sitting in the library, with a book on the table, flipping through it and taking notes.
More than half a year of adjustment has allowed her to gradually wake up from the loss and decadence caused by the collapse of her career, family and love.
Humans are highly adaptable creatures.
Even though her life had changed drastically, she had gradually found a balance again during this period of time.
In this low pressure, I live slowly, looking for the inconspicuous but touching moments and fun in life. After that...
Share it with...Chen Yan in the circle of friends.
Even though she knew that given Chen Yan's busyness and the amount of attention he paid to her, there was a 99% chance that he would not see her circle of friends.
And even if you see it, there is a 99% chance that you don't know that the person you are referring to is him.
However, this has become one of her few pleasures.
It was like a tree hole, a tree hole that no one knew about, where she could express her emotions, adding some color to her life which was originally colorless.
In addition to sharing in this circle of friends, what she has always been longing for and expecting is that Chen Yan might ask her to trade stocks, gold and futures again.
It's not that she's a money-grubber.
On the contrary, she is not interested in money.
She gave all the money she earned to her mother, except for keeping a little for herself.
What she enjoyed was the feeling of standing next to Chen Yan.
Fighting into battle together with the person she loves and looting the world's capital, no matter winning or losing, makes Yang Nuannuan feel that life has regained meaning and color.
Unfortunately... Chen Yan never looked for her again since the last time.
However, Yang Nuannuan, who had already decided not to take the initiative and just quietly enjoy her life, did not go to find him. Instead, she just waited silently.
The experience of trying so hard but still not getting what she wanted in the end made her gradually understand that some things are really fate. Even if she tries harder, there may not be any results.
It’s better to lie down and enjoy life slowly.
Who knows, one day, luck will fall from the sky?
So, today, just like her life in the past few months, after class, she bought a cup of coffee and went to the library, where she read quietly and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
Just when she felt that today would be as peaceful as usual, suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated slightly.
In the library, silence is a public virtue.
So, feeling the vibration of the phone, Yang Nuannuan took out the phone and opened it to take a look.
It's a friend request from an unfamiliar person.
Because of her beautiful appearance, and the fact that Yang Nuannuan has been dressing more and more maturely and having a more austere temperament over this period of time, she has attracted many suitors.
Men seem to like women who are mature in body but look abstinent in appearance.
Maybe it will stimulate their desire to conquer?
Therefore, Yang Nuannuan originally wanted to directly reject this kind of friend request as she did before.
As a result, just when she was about to click, suddenly, she saw the content of the friend request: Company personnel, add him as requested by Mr. Chen.
"Chen Yan?" Yang Nuannuan's mind couldn't help but emerge with the image of that handsome, friendly, yet powerful man.
At that moment, Chen Yan's image was particularly clear in her eyes.
For a moment, she wanted to laugh: I always thought that some things and some people were gradually forgotten. But inadvertently, you were surprised to find that in fact...he was always in your heart.
She shook her head and muttered, "He arranged this person, do you want to find me?"
Then, I silently accepted the friend request.
And below this friend request, there are dozens or even hundreds of rejected friend requests, which seems to indicate how popular the girl is during this period.
After getting through the friend, Yang Nuannuan clicked on this person's WeChat and sent a message.
[Hello. Is this the HR department of the company? Mr. Chen asked you to see me. Is there anything I can help you with?]
After a moment, she received a reply from the other party.
[It's like this. Mr. Yang. Mr. Chen said he has always admired your talent. I would like to ask, are you willing to come back to work in the company?]
[The salary is good. About twice as much as before.]
[In addition, Mr. Chen also said that you will be doing an internship in the second half of the year. He said that you can directly join the company for internship and your salary will be increased again.]
…
The message Chen Yan sent was not an excuse.
He really thinks Yang Nuannuan is a good fit in the company.
Let's not talk about anything else, just Yang Rou. With Yang Nuannuan and without Yang Nuannuan, her efficiency is completely different.
Maybe it's mother-daughter connection...
It may also be that Yang Nuannuan’s auxiliary ability is really outstanding.
Anyway, when Yang Nuannuan was around, Yang Rou's work was much easier than it is now.
In fact, many times, Yang Nuannuan could make some small decisions on behalf of Yang Rou, and she did it very well.
Therefore, even if the relationship with Yang Nuannuan is excluded, Chen Yan feels that Yang Nuannuan is a talent who can bring a lot of help to the company, and it would be best if she could stay in the company.
That's why he offered such generous conditions to Yang Nuannuan.
However, it was obvious that Yang Nuannuan didn't really want to return to the company. Even though the conditions offered by Chen Yan were very generous for someone who hadn't graduated yet.
But Yang Nuannuan still replied within two seconds, "Sorry. I just want to finish my studies for now."
Looking at Yang Nuannuan's reply, Chen Yan was not surprised.
If Yang Nuannuan was so easily persuaded, Yang Rou would not have quarreled with her, and she would not have been so stubborn and turned evil.
So, Chen Yan just replied, "Okay. I'll make a note of this."
Then, the WeChat chat stopped.
He was just looking for an excuse to check out Yang Nuannuan's circle of friends.
As for the plan to persuade Yang Nuannuan to return to the company, he had one, but that should at least be done after explaining to Yang Nuannuan what happened between Yang Rou and Zhao Qingtian.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan quit his account and sent a message to Yang Nuannuan's "Young Woman Author Vest", [Are you there?]
…
Yang Nuannuan in the library was originally planning to continue reading after rejecting the company's "personnel" job.
As a result, before she put her phone down, it suddenly vibrated again.
She glanced at it casually, and was stunned.
Because...it was Chen Yan who came to find her.
Or to be more precise, Chen Yan's vest looked for her vest.
Since leaving the company, Yang Nuannuan and Chen Yan's only communication has been through this pseudonym account.
But Chen Yan is quite busy and doesn't chat often.
So, she stayed logged into this account, silently waiting for Chen Yan to find her one day.
As a result, I didn’t expect this day to come so soon.
And...what surprised her a little was that
Chen Yan actually came to see her right after the company’s HR department had contacted her.
Is there something fishy going on here?
Yang Nuannuan, who is delicate and sensitive by nature, couldn't help but slightly connect the two things together.
She opened QQ and replied, "Yes."
She hadn't forgotten that she was now a "beautiful young woman with a job". So she added, "I'm working. What's wrong?"
…
Chen Yan on the other side of QQ read the message sent by Yang Nuannuan and couldn't help but smile.
Then he replied, "Nothing. I just encountered something that seemed a little weird, so I wanted to talk to you."
…
Looking at Chen Yan's message, Yang Nuannuan was a little confused for a moment.
'Something weird?'
'Did Chen Yan encounter any supernatural events?'
She replied, "Although I am at work, I am actually slacking off with pay. So, you can tell me what you think."
…
Chen Yan smiled. He felt that Yang Nuannuan was "ruining" Yang Rou's reputation behind her back.
Yang Rou would never slack off while having pay.
She even likes to work overtime for free…
Even after Chen Yan implemented the "overtime deduction" policy, he happily paid the fine while continuing to work overtime...
While thinking, Chen Yan replied, "Nothing. I just chatted with a female subordinate these two days."
[Then, she got drunk and told me some of her past experiences. Surprisingly, they were 80% similar to what you said about your own experience.]
…
After seeing Chen Yan's message, Yang Nuannuan felt a little cold all over for a moment.
Because she had verified Chen Yan's identity long ago, so she certainly knew that Chen Yan was not a trader of a financial company, but the big boss of Chen Group.
So there is no need to say who his female subordinate is.
It was obviously Yang Rou... Yang Nuannuan's mother.
Yang Nuannuan felt that with Chen Yan's intelligence, he might be able to guess her identity when he heard her mother talk about these things.
So, she pretended to be calm and asked, "Really? What did she say?"
…
Chen Yan looked at Yang Nuannuan's message and smiled.
He knew that Yang Nuannuan had taken the bait.
So he said, "Actually, the story started out similar to what you said. I once thought you were my female subordinate."
【But later I realized that this was impossible.】
[Because, in that incident, my female subordinate was the victim. ]
[It is impossible that a victim would deliberately distort her own experience while chatting with netizens online and then portray herself as a female devil, right? ]
…
Looking at Chen Yan's message, Yang Nuannuan frowned for a moment.
"It was similar at the beginning. But later on, you found out that the female subordinate was the victim?"
'Twist your own experience and portray yourself as a female devil?'
'What does all this mean?'
Fortunately, Chen Yan did not keep the secret any longer.
After giving Yang Nuannuan some psychological preparation at the right time, Chen Yan began to tell the story that Yang Rou told him.
In the narration, Chen Yan also used some "literary exaggeration".
After all, with Yang Rou's cold personality and the way she told the story, if Chen Yan told it truthfully, Yang Nuannuan would probably think her mother was lying.
So, he added some of his own "artistic creations" into it.
So, after Chen Yan told the story from Yang Rou's perspective with great emotion, Yang Nuannuan on QQ was completely stunned.
There was only one thought in her mind: Is Chen Yan kidding? How come this is so different from what my dad said?
However, Yang Rou was, after all, her mother who had given birth to her and raised her for more than 20 years. This kind of affection was far beyond the reach of Zhao Qingtian, who was a hands-off manager.
Yang Nuannuan believed Zhao Qingtian at first, mostly because Yang Rou kept silent about the matter, and Zhao Qingtian took advantage of the situation and made Yang Nuannuan believe this story.
And now, after Chen Yan told the story from Yang Rou's perspective, Yang Nuannuan was suddenly a little shaken.
Because she didn't know whether this matter was true or not.
She couldn't even tell whether Chen Yan knew her identity and said these words on purpose.
She felt extremely confused.
Especially when she thought about how she had made her mother angry last night, she became even more restless.
She didn't even reply to Chen Yan's QQ message. She just packed up the books in her hands and ran out in a hurry.
She wanted to find Yang Rou to find out what was going on.
Because this might completely destroy her worldview.
Destroy all the "hatred, gratitude, and learning" system she has built over the years.
If the "three views" can be visualized, then her three views must be full of cracks at this moment, as if they will break at any time...
…
At this time, Chen Yan on QQ did not receive Yang Nuannuan's message.
But he didn't care at all.
Because he felt that his goal should have been achieved.
Yang Nuannuan’s failure to reply just proved her inner conflict and doubt.
The truth cannot be hidden. The reason why Yang Nuannuan was deceived before was that she did not have a channel to find out.
Now, Chen Yan has given it to her. With her logical thinking and Yang Rou's clear narration, I believe it is not difficult to know what the truth is.
The only pity is... Chen Yan has to sacrifice his reputation again.
After all, no matter how good his intentions were, he was still a "leaker".
Moreover, he was a person who leaked the information without Yang Rou's consent and even though Yang Rou fully trusted him.
Therefore, if Yang Rou felt that Chen Yan did not keep his promise and took her anger out on Chen Yan, it was entirely Chen Yan's fault.
Chen Yan only hoped that at this time, Yang Rou's rational thinking would prevail and she would realize that she was saving their mother-daughter relationship and helping them resolve misunderstandings.
After all, Chen Yan really has a kind heart.
Moreover, Yang Rou had not known about Zhao Qingtian's shady tricks before this. Her insistence on "not letting Yang Nuannuan get in touch with the dark side of society in advance" had actually failed long ago ...
…
Just as Chen Yan was thinking this, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
The knocking sound didn't sound like knocking on Chen Yan's door, but rather like the "noise" coming over because the knocking on the door opposite was too loud.
Chen Yan hurried to the door and looked out through the peephole.
Then he saw Yang Nuannuan, holding a book and sweating profusely, knocking on Yang Rou's door opposite.
After a while, Yang Rou's door opened.
When she saw Yang Nuannuan, she was surprised and puzzled.
But Yang Nuannuan couldn't wait any longer.
She simply grabbed her mother's hand and said something to her mother.
The expression on Yang Rou's face turned into surprise.
She blinked and didn't say anything, but opened the door to let Yang Nuannuan come in first.
Then she closed the door, isolating everything inside the house.
However, the moment she closed the door, her eyes seemed to glance at Chen Yan thoughtfully.
The two people's sight seemed to be through a cat's eye, through the long distance, and there was a slight intersection.
But Chen Yan knew that all this was just his own fantasy.
After all, a cat's eye can't see in from the outside.
Seeing Yang Rou closing the door, Chen Yan sighed slightly.
He felt that he had done what he should do. Whether Yang Nuannuan could believe the truth of the past, discover the fact that Zhao Qingtian had distorted Yang Nuannuan over the years, and resolve the misunderstanding between mother and daughter, everything depended on Yang Rou...
…
The afternoon passed quickly.
Chen Yan had been waiting for Yang Rou to thank him, or to call him to account.
But... nothing happened.
He looked through the cat's eye several times to observe the situation on the other side.
It turned out that there was no change on the other side at all.
Neither Yang Rou nor Yang Nuannuan came out since they entered the house.
This made Chen Yan a little tormented. He even had no intention of doing anything else.
Fortunately, in the evening, Qin Ming brought Chen Yan good news.
That is, he had already helped Chen Yan make an appointment with the head of the Tianfu branch of the Zhao family: Zhao Hengyu.
The other party agreed to have a face-to-face meeting with Chen Yan, and was even willing to take the initiative to come to Qindao to meet Chen Yan.
This made Chen Yan a little overjoyed.
Not only because Zhao Hengyu himself is the best candidate for this plan, but also because Zhao Hengyu's attitude actually shows that he values ​​this cooperation and is optimistic about Chen Yan.
So, Chen Yan called He Mengxue that night.
Ask her to help prepare a gift for Zhao Hengyu to show her hospitality.
Zhao Hengyu arranged for the meeting to take place two days later, so Chen Yan still had two days to prepare.
…
The next day, Yang Nuannuan and Yang Rou still did not give Chen Yan any feedback.
No matter whether it was the main account, the small account, or even Chen Yan’s reader pseudonym, any message was received from either Yang Rou or Yang Nuannuan.
This made Chen Yan a little confused.
"Could it be that...the mother and daughter cried with joy and fainted at home?"
However, even if Chen Yan was "worried" about them now, he was still unwilling to take the initiative to face the mother and daughter when he was "in the wrong".
So, since no one was looking for him, he would just pretend nothing happened and went to the company.
After arriving at the company, Chen Yan calmed down and dealt with official business.
I have been quite busy with official duties recently.
Not only is the second batch of works from the Chaoyang Project about to be released.
Moreover, the new game has entered the development process, and there are many planning matters that need Chen Yan to make the final decision.
Other companies have even more to deal with.
There are a lot of things, big and small, especially the film and television related matters, which account for the majority of the company's current performance and have taken up a lot of Chen Yan's energy.
This made Chen Yan more certain of his idea of ​​setting up a film and television business group.
The morning passed quickly.
At noon, Chen Yan finished his work and prepared to call the Gemini Hotel to ask them to send some food.
As a result, he didn't even have time to call.
The phone on his desk rang.
Chen Yan picked up the phone but didn't say anything.
The person on the other side said first, "Mr. Chen, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Let's have lunch together?"
The call was from Yang Rou.
The voice was cold and without any ups and downs.
Although it was the same as her usual voice, Chen Yan felt as if he heard some kind of "solemn" aura.
So... at that moment, three words emerged in Chen Yan's mind: Hongmen Banquet!
