Chapter 01

Xin Xia warmly shook her head, "I was thinking about what I just said, and I feel quite useless. I'm still just a secretary assistant now." She rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't I become the lover of our company's president?"

Xin Xia Nuan was taken aback, somewhat stunned, unsure of how to respond. Perhaps whenever it came to Lu Zi'ang, her mind would go completely blank, unable to think of anything. Her gaze held a moment of daze, staring blankly at a certain spot without any awareness.

The woman who walked out of the modern car crossed her arms and said to the woman approaching her: "Xin Xia Nuan, I must admit I am impressed by you."

The reason why Mannie is referred to as a lover is due to the request of their company's vice president, Bi Fangshi. Bi Fangshi is a typical wealthy bachelor, as his family is one of the major shareholders of Chuangmei Company. He does not have a formal girlfriend, only a number of beautiful lovers. Mannie is merely one of them

Manny laughed while driving, saying: "You can direct your ideas towards the president who will soon take office."

At the entrance, a white BMW had just parked and no one had emerged from inside, remaining stationary at the door. At that moment, a woman walked out from the community. She had a neat ponytail, was of average height, wore a floral chiffon blouse on top, and fitted white capri pants on the bottom, complemented by beige high heels of three to four centimeters. She carried a light yellow LV handbag.

How is it? Did I hit the nail on the head? Xia Nuan, don't deceive yourself, and I won't deceive myself either. It's not that I don't want you; it's just that I also want to find a woman who loves me.

Today is a day off. Xin Xia Nuan asked Mani to give her a ride to pick up her repaired car. Mani glanced at the somewhat distracted Xin Xia Nuan and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Haven't you gotten over your breakup yet? Is crashing your car and breaking your glasses not enough?"

Pfft... Manny laughed, "With your disposition, who would take notice? Your conventional attire and your foolish demeanor make it impossible for you to attend those various gatherings and parties. Moreover, our company's two vice presidents have too many lovers; you wouldn't even make the list."

It is said that he is a young man around 28 or 29 years old, very capable, and the stock market guru Charles has referred to him as a white knight. However, he doesn't quite fit the definition of a white knight; he assists companies that are suffering from hostile takeovers by proposing friendly acquisitions and then finds a suitable company to merge with, reaping exorbitant profits in the process. Speaking of which, that investment bank has always charged for selling equity to other companies; this is the first time I've heard of them managing it themselves. "Manny said with a sly smile, 'Do you know what Bifangshi said?"

This endurance lasted for more than four years. Last week, Liao Xiu returned to the country. It just so happened that Xin Xiaoran had just bought a modern sports car for 140,000, a gift from her mother. She originally intended to use this car to pick up Liao Xiu, but unexpectedly, when she called, Liao Xiu said he was tired and had gone home by himself, and would get in touch in a few days

Liao Xiu is a university classmate of Xin Xia Nuan, both of whom are students from the X cohort at A City University of Finance. They became acquainted through their shared interest in joining the Taekwondo club. Later, during a practice session, Xin Xia Nuan accidentally injured Liao Xiu, leading him to be hospitalized, which gradually deepened their feelings for each other. However, it took a considerable amount of time for their relationship to develop, and they only started dating in their senior year.

Xin Xia Nuan is at a loss for words. Perhaps it is the different environments that shape different people. She is indeed doing very well; before even graduating with her master's degree, her mother had already helped her secure an internship at Chuangmei Company. After graduation, she continued to work at this company, and the salary she earns is sufficient for her personal expenses, without needing to worry about the daily necessities of life or the monthly rent. Her family is in City A, and her parents provide her with food and accommodation. In the words of Manni, she is truly a fortunate woman.

The door of the white BMW parked beside the main gate finally opened, and a very fashionable woman stepped out. She had a head of elegant large wavy curls, wore deep brown sunglasses, and was dressed in a luxurious black dress. Her figure was quite slender and tall, and with the seven-centimeter high heels she wore, she exuded an air of being unattainably glamorous

Liao Xiu's family background is also good, and after graduating from university, he was sent abroad to study for an MBA, while Xin Xia Nuan is still striving to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. The distance of the ocean always leaves one feeling a sense of loss; the two usually chat via video calls across the ocean and then go about their own busy lives.

Our new president's wealth, if thrown into the rivers, could fill them to the brim

Indeed, I am not as capable as you. In less than a year since joining the company, I have already gained the favor of the director of the president's office, continuously received promotions, and have now become the renowned secretary to the vice president. Xin Xia Nuan spoke these words fluently; whenever Manni ridiculed her, she would bring this up.

Xin Xia warmed up and scratched her fluffy messy hair, drowsily explaining, "I said no to premarital sex. Making international long-distance calls is very expensive; you have to talk for at least over an hour."

This is the family compound of the A Military District Command. It was recently built, and the residents are all family members of military officers at the colonel level from the A Military District. Each family almost has its own courtyard, resembling a small villa. There are soldiers guarding the outside, which adds a touch of severity.

Hmm?

Xin Xia Nuan's face suddenly darkened, as the pairing of the president and the secretary, especially when it involves a wealthy and charismatic benefactor alongside a stunningly beautiful secretary, is likely to lead to an improper relationship

That seems too exaggerated

Once, Xin Xia Nuan believed she was very happy, with parents who adored her, a good family background, a stable job, and a wonderful boyfriend, Liao Xiu. No one was happier or more fulfilled than she was

The other end fell silent. Xin Xiaonuan, too lazy to wait for his response, hung up the phone, chuckled lightly, and fell asleep on the bed

"Foreigners, with blue eyes, high noses, and blonde hair, and so on." Xin Xiaonuan pressed her phone, appearing disinterested. Such people were too far removed from her.

"You don't love me at all," Liao Xiu became agitated instead, "When we were together, you never let me touch you; when I went abroad, you never took the initiative to call me. When I called you, you urged me to hang up."

Xin Xia Nuan is a woman who has just walked out of the family compound of the command post in Area A

The president of that investment bank has gifted our company a new president. Isn't that impressive?" Manny said, brushing her hair back with a look of interest, "Our presidential office is indeed excellent; being close to the source brings early benefits. I really want to see what this white knight looks like.

It seems that our new president is the vice president of that investment bank, isn't it? Xin Xiaonuan retorted

However, a minor accident occurred later. In the community parking lot, she attempted to maneuver her car into a parking space. Her reversing skills were inadequate; normally, a slight shift would allow the car to move on its own, but Xin Xia Nuan lacked the patience. She pressed the accelerator too hard, causing the car to crash directly into the wall, resulting in a completely dented front. She called a repair shop to have the car towed for repairs. Unfortunately, on her way home, her high heel got caught on a drain cover, causing her to stumble and break her glasses.

She thought she would be happy forever, but just a week ago, she encountered the most dramatic and unfortunate "caught in the act" situation of her life, and she was completely unprepared to catch them in the act.

"If it were Lu Ziang, the answer might be quite different, right?" Liao Xiu snorted coldly on the other end of the phone

No, he is of Chinese descent

Xin Xia felt a chill run down her spine

It's okay

After returning home, Xin Xia Nuan sent a text message to Liao Xiu, proposing a breakup. After a long time, while Xin Xia Nuan was sleeping soundly, Liao Xiu called, asking for the reason. Xin Xia Nuan calmly recounted what she had seen today without much emotion. Liao Xiu remained silent for a long time, then chuckled and said, "Xia Nuan, aren't you sad?"

Moreover, it seems that they are a local from City A, and their name appears to be..." Before Manny could finish her sentence, her phone rang. She quickly answered the call, sweetly saying: "Darling"

Manny rolled her eyes and said, "It's like this the first time wearing them anyway, it's still better than you wearing those glasses as thick as beer bottle bottoms every day, right?" Manny took off her sunglasses and looked up and down at the plain-faced Xin Xia Nuan, then sighed, "No wonder no CEO wants you. Since your graduation until now, nearly three years, you have been diligently working, yet you are still just an assistant to the secretary"

Ah?

Endure the warm thoughts of summer; it will soon pass.

"Then why didn't you break up with me earlier? Why did you wait until I found out and the matter was exposed before breaking up?" Xin Xia Nuan suddenly laughed coldly. Men always find various grandiose reasons to shirk responsibility for the mistakes they have made.

The designer clothes that Manny is currently wearing and the BMW sports car worth several million are all means used by Bifang to woo girls. Xin Xiaonuan has advised Manny that this is not good, but Manny replied, "With the current housing prices so high, buying an ordinary house costs at least over 3 million. How long would we have to save with our monthly salary of 7,000? Xiaonuan, I came all this way to work alone, unlike you. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it. He is not married and doesn’t have a formal girlfriend, and our relationship won’t be scorned by others. I enjoy the affection of a man and have money; I don’t feel like I’m at a loss."

Xin Xia Nuan blinked her eyes, feeling quite uncomfortable with the contact lenses she had just put on. "Manny, these contact lenses are really troublesome; I've been wearing them for at least half an hour."

She waited for two days, but did not receive his call. Until one day, after work, while driving home and waiting at a traffic light, she saw a man and a woman in a jewelry store looking at jewelry. The man affectionately took her hand and gently kissed it.

Xin Xia sighed softly, "Even if I could make the list, I still can't do it. If my mother finds out, she would definitely strangle me to death"

You also missed a sentence ... ... and lover

That man, whom Xin Xiaonuan knows, besides the constantly complaining Liao Xiu, who else could it be? He must be exhausted by this woman every day. Xin Xiaonuan, however, remained calm, and when the traffic light turned green, she pressed the accelerator and continued driving home
