Regardless o...Ji Lin was sent back to the training ground by Fu Yan. After she finished eating and took a shower, she continued to sleep.

Song Qingshuang's phone call came in the evening.

She heard about the incident from Mrs. Chen. She thought the two of them were getting along well, but Mrs. Chen scolded her, and Fu Yan stabbed Chen Rang, sending him to the hospital.

Although she desperately wanted to get Fu Yan married into a wealthy family, when she learned her biological daughter was almost bullied, she cried in heartache and on the phone said she would find Mrs. Chen to settle the score.

Fu Yan was worried about being retaliated against by the Chen family, so she quickly spoke up to stop her, "Mom, I didn't suffer any losses."

Song Qing霜 quickly rushed over and, seeing the wounds on her neck and hands, cried again, gritting her teeth, "I'll go settle the score with them!"

"Mom!" Fu Yan got up and grabbed her, forcing down the pain in her body to press her onto the sofa. "How do you calculate this"

“Old Master Chen said whoever gives the Chen family a grandson will be given shares. Mrs. Chen is looking for a marriage partner for Chen Rang, just hoping to have a grandson soon. His reputation is ruined, and good girls don't want to marry him. That's why she set her sights on me, trying to lure you in. Now Chen Rang has been stabbed into the hospital and is under police investigation. The Chen family is desperate, and you will only become their scapegoat.”

Song Qing霜 couldn't swallow this breath, "Then what do you say we should do"

Fu Yan stuffed a pillow behind her back and sighed, "Chen Rang got stabbed by me. He deserved it, and I won't swallow my anger."

Song Qing霜 was persuaded for a while before she calmed down, so she had to hold back for now.

She only had doubts in her heart, "I heard that Chen Rang's investigation was started by the Huo family. How could they help us"

Ji Lin said that Huo Mingzheng opened his mouth, wanting Chen Rang to sit in jail for a few more years.

Chen Rang's punishment for the harm inflicted on Yan is only about three years in prison. The charge of imprisonment certainly cannot be fabricated out of thin air. The police have to investigate thoroughly.

The Chen family dared to be angry but not speak out. In Nanshan City, one couldn't offend anyone except the Huo family.

Mrs. Chen's original plan was to isolate Mrs. Fu and her daughter, even if they were bullied by Mr. Chen, the Huo family wouldn't care. She never expected the Huo family to stand up for them.

"Is it Huo Mingzheng" Song Qing霜 guessed. Now that the Huo family is in Huo Mingzheng's hands, she really couldn't think of anyone else.

Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat, afraid that Song Qing霜 was overthinking things, mainly because she felt guilty.

She explained, “After all, we’re also from Uncle Ho’s family. Uncle Ho entrusted them to take care of us before he passed away. If we're bullied, the Huo family won't just ignore us.”

Fortunately, Song Qing霜 didn't think too much about it and accepted this seemingly reasonable explanation.

......

Fu Yan went to work on Monday and specially wore a turtleneck to cover the gauze on her neck.

The wound on her hand couldn't be hidden. When a colleague she was close to asked about it, she only said that she had cut herself with a kitchen knife while cooking at home over the weekend.

"Sister, I heard we have a new general manager," the intern next door whispered.

She was brought by Fu Yan, always calling her "Sister Yan" .

"Deputy Director Xiao should be promoted too."

She was watching him as he sat at his computer, the previous manager had been promoted and the Project Manager position was still vacant. The Deputy General Manager was capable enough, it was time for him to take over.

The intern shook his head, “I heard it wasn't the case, it was a parachuting in. When I came this morning, they were all buzzing about it.”

Fu Yan frowned, but such things were commonplace in the workplace. Unless one had exceptional abilities, those parachuted into positions were probably relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials.

"Deputy Director Xiao is so pitiful. It was her turn, clearly." The intern sighed sadly, experiencing the harshness of the workplace for the first time.

"Here, have a candy." Fu Yan gave her a piece. "Don't be so down, I'll take you to buy milk tea later."

The intern nodded vigorously, and his face broke into a smile.

On Monday morning, Fu Yan sat in her usual seat at the meeting and put her phone on silent.

The door to the conference room opened again. The people who had been whispering moments before fell silent as if a mute button had been pressed. Fu Yanxin knew exactly who it was: the new director had arrived.

She looked up and was stunned.

"Hello everyone, I am your new marketing director, Shen Wei. Please take care of me in the future."

The conference room erupted in thunderous applause.

Fu Yan slowed for a beat, then clapped along with everyone else.

Shen Wei is elegant and composed. She is about the same age as Fu Yan, beautiful and fashionable, and graduated from a prestigious foreign university. Her resume is very impressive.

After introducing herself, she immediately dove into work, listening to everyone's reports.

Perhaps Fu Yan was overthinking it, but she always felt that Shen Wei's gaze held a certain depth of meaning when it landed on her unintentionally.

After the meeting, Fu Yan went to the tea room to pour water and overheard people discussing her.

She wouldn't normally care, but she also heard the name Shen Wei.

"As expected, Fu Yan is as solid as iron. Even with more beauties coming, it won't shake her position. Shen Wei is beautiful enough, but she still gets outshined by Fu Yan."

"I went to university with Fu Yan, she was a school flower at Nan University, truly deserving the title!"

"What use is a woman being just pretty I was just chatting with a friend, and heard that General Manager Shen has a big background."

What

She is getting engaged.

What about the engagement

She's going to marry into the Huo family, Huo Mingzheng. What do you think

"My God, how lucky am I!"

Fu Yanmo walked in silently. The gossipy few immediately changed the subject upon seeing her, pouring water and washing fruit.

Fu Yan also didn't expect that Huo Mingzheng's fiancee would become her superior.

However, she didn't dwell on the issue for long. Back at her desk, she immediately got back to work.

In the evening, I had to modify a contract, and I got so caught up that I ended up working past my usual quitting time. Everyone else had already left.

She shut down her computer and got up, just as the door to the director's office opened.

"You're working overtime too" Shen Wei raised an eyebrow.

Fu Yan nodded, "Modify some contract details."

Shen Wei nodded and walked into the elevator side by side with her.

Both were about the same height. The intern secretly looked up some information and compared them, saying that Fu Yan was still a little taller.

It's a department tradition that whenever a young and pretty one arrives, they always secretly compare her to the others.

An intern would say, "Sister Yan, you don't know that you are a beauty template"

For strangers, Fu Yan had nothing to say. She stood quietly by the side, waiting for the elevator to descend from the thirty-second floor.

"Pay attention, Yan," Shen Wei suddenly spoke.

Fu Yan turned her head to look at her.

"Were we the ones who met at Tian Shui Lou that day" Shen Wei's lip line was very nice, and when he smiled, it gave people a feeling of closeness.

Fu Yan did not deny, "You had dinner with your second brother."

Shen Wei nodded and gazed at Fu Yan's face, "I also heard from A Zheng that you are the daughter of Huo Wu Shu."

Fu Yan held his fingers without making a sound.

"You're quite capable. In a while, Deputy General Manager Xiao might be transferred. When that happens, I'll recommend you to higher-ups."

"Then I'll excuse myself, Director Shen." Fu Yan smiled in response and didn't say much more.

After leaving the company, Fu Yan stopped a taxi and went back to Huo Gongguan. She had something to confirm with Song Qing霜.

Back at the Huo Mansion, it was past dinner time. The lights flickered on one by one, illuminating the flowers, trees and plants in the courtyard, making them appear like a dream.

The fish pond ahead is under renovation, with a lot of stones and cement piled up. Fu Yan has to take the detour.

"Grandfather Chen came to visit in person today, asking if we could let his grandson off the hook. You're being a bit hypocritical, aren't you Why are you suddenly so concerned about this girl"

Someone was talking in the corridor. Fu Yan instinctively stopped and stood behind a tree.

Ho Mingzheng's voice was like a cold wind, blowing into her heart in gusts. "The Chen family has bullied the Huo family to the point of no return. Even dogs need to be controlled by their masters." calls.Will she really be able to marry him successfullyShe hurriedly asked Qi Ce, "Have the people you sent found out where Fu Yan went"Qi Ce took the sandalwood comb and carefully combed her hair, g...
