I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 152

The receptionist from the front desk led Shi Nuan to the project management department. She was here once before, so she could find Lin Yu’s office very quickly. Lin Yu’s assistant probably expected Shi Nuan to report herself at work today, hence as soon as she saw the receptionist brought someone over, she asked, “Are you Ms. Shi?”

“Yes, I’m Shi Nuan,” Shi Nuan smiled politely and studied the woman in front of her. She looked competent and well-experienced. The woman was also studying her before she nodded and said, “I’m the assistant of Director Lin, Yuan Jia. Director Lin mentioned earlier that Ms. Shi will report to work today.”

“Yes. That would be me. Thank you, Ms. Yuan,” Shi Nuan greeted Yuan Jia with a smile. She thought that Yuan Jia had a good attitude and was a kind person. She continued, “Is Director Lin in?”

“Yes, I will bring you in now.”

Yuan Jia led Shi Nuan to Lin Yu’s office. When she was about to knock, the door was opened from inside. Lin Yu looked like he was leaving. Yuan Jia and Shi Nuan’s presence puzzled him momentarily, then he immediately said, “I’m going for a meeting now. Yuan Jia, show Ms. Shi around so that she can familiarize herself with the environment. Fill her in with the important matters then bring her to HR for onboarding procedures.”

Lin Yu spoke fast and left with wide strides as soon as he finished. Lin Yu was quick and vigorous; it took Shi Nuan a while to gain back her senses.

Yuan Jia smiled at Shi Nuan, “Don’t mind him, you will get used to that. That happens very often,” Yuan Jia explained, she probably thought Shi Nuan was not used to the pace in the office.

Shi Nuan denied hurriedly, “No, I think it’s OK. Ms. Yuan, do you have time to show me around and introduce the coworkers to me?”

“Sure, let me introduce some coworkers to you first. Then I’ll bring you to HR for onboarding procedures. But Ms. Shi, have we met elsewhere? Your previous workplace perhaps? You look very familiar,” Yuan Jia asked.

“Not that I can think of. I guess that’s because I have a generic face, hence the familiarity. I was with an ordinary company previously,” Shi Nuan was not trying to keep her previous working experience a secret- she just purely did not want to get involved with Fucheng.

Yuan Jia could not help but smile as she scrutinized Shi Nuan, “Your look is nothing like the average women.” Yuan Jia was telling the truth. She had seen a lot of pretty girls, but one as classy as Shi Nuan who stood out with her own characteristics in the crowd, was extremely rare. That was why when Shi Nuan said that, Yuan Jia just treated her as being overly humble.

Yuan Jia introduced some coworkers from the project management department and they were equally curious about her. Shengyuan’s recruitment was seasonal and they did not recruit just anyone. Shi Nuan was the only one accepted at this timing; everyone expressed their curiosities about her status. Shi Nuan explained that she was indeed just an ordinary person. Shi Nuan then mentioned that she was Zhou Zheng’s distant relative when Yuan Jia insisted on the answer. That ended their wild guesses.

Zhou Zheng was, after all, Fu Chengyan’s right-hand man. His status symbolized his authority which was just behind Fu Chengyan and the shareholders. They stopped asking when Zhou Zheng’s name came up.

Shi Nuan finally escaped their interrogation and followed Yuan Jia to HR. After the onboarding procedures, Yuan Jia led Shi Nuan to her desk.

Normally, senior management meetings lasted for a very long time. This meeting was called for suddenly. All of them were caught off-guard and they did not have time to prepare. In the end, they were criticized by Fu Chengyan during the meeting. They were asked to present a better proposal as soon as possible. When it came to operation updates on the finance department and overseas department, Fu Chengyan always kept a very close tab. After the meeting, everyone looked like they had been skinned alive. They were very exhausted and they left the meeting room wearily.

Fu Chengyan looked at the messy documents on the desk and then he pushed them all away, “Throw them away. Get them to come up with a better proposal. Lin Yu stays.”

Lin Yu was preparing to leave; he stopped immediately as soon as he heard Fu Chengyan’s instruction, “Yes? CEO Fu?”

Fu Chengyan stood up and glanced at Lin Yu, “About the development on the piece of land at West City, what’s your progress?”

Lin Yu reported, “Currently we are having preliminary evaluations. West City is considered a high risk area and it is also located in the suburban area- some of the places were long abandoned. I have been to that place before, there were psychiatric hospitals and rehab centers nearby, so it was basically determined not suitable for development. CEO Fu…”

Fu Chengyan raised his head and interrupted Lin Yu, “No need to rush. Complete the evaluation first. I heard that those places might be shifted away. Moreover, that piece of land has not been plotted yet. It is still unknown if those places are in the territory. But since you mentioned it, then we must prepare the corresponding precautions. I prepare to place the bidding for that piece of land for development.”

Fu Chengyan made himself very clear- he was determined to get that piece of land. They had to overcome any problems that surfaced.

Lin Yu understood that Fu Chengyan’s intention was firm, so he nodded and replied, “I’ll do this right. Be rest assured, CEO Fu.” Lin Yu used to be in overseas; he returned to the country ambitiously. He had faced a fair share of failures in Jiang City before. Some companies could not meet with Lin Yu’s ideas and it disappointed him.

When he entered Shengyuan, Lin Yu realized that the way Fu Chengyan worked shed a light on him. He could see his future again. Lin Yu deeply admired this man’s character- the way he handled things and his foresight. He always treated Fu Chengyan as a god-like existence. He never thought Fu Chengyan would open a backdoor in his department for a woman.
