Chapter 509: Chapter 277 Once Upon a Ti Us_4 Chapter 509: Chapter 277 Once Upon a Ti Us_4 If I could achieve results, I would have a key promotion opportunity.
Back then, our departnt manager was nad Zhang Zihang, a very charismatic leader.
He was a top graduate from a prestigious school, exceptionally talented, and, coupled with his handso appearance, very popular among the staff.
Wen Ruan also had a very positive impression of this married leader.
During the year working in the digital marketing departnt, working overti, attending etings, travelling for business, doing projects, solving problems…
Since the age difference wasn’t significant,
they gradually beca friends with a good relationship.
Latter, her work performance beca increasingly outstanding, and at the end of the year, she received a notice from HR to start evaluating her for a promotion.
But the very next day, a scandalous rumor spread throughout the company.
It was said that she had seduced Zhang Zihang and obtained the opportunity through this relationship.
They even listed so evidence of going on business trips and dining together.
At first, she didn’t care and continued to focus on her work; after all, it was all unfounded, and the innocent have nothing to fear.
Until one team-building event on-site.
In the hotel’s event hall, in front of dozens of colleagues,
Zhang Zihang’s wife suddenly appeared and scolded her vehently.
All sorts of highly insulting words and sharp comnts deeply wounded her self-esteem.
Then so audio was played.
It was the infuriated voice of Zhang Zihang himself: “You’ve damn well been checking my phone every day; let just tell you straight, I think Wen Ruan is a hundred tis better than you, I like her, let’s just get a divorce now and I’ll go and register our marriage with her imdiately.”
Although the turmoil was eventually smoothed over by company leadership, her promotion fell through completely.
Zhang Zihang was transferred to another departnt.
The key thing was that this wasn’t the end of it, in the half-year that followed.
Zhang Zihang got divorced.
A colleague leaked so news, Zhang Zihang’s father was Zhang Chaoming, a board mber of Xingyun International Group.
With so people’s purposeful spreading, the scandalous rumors about Wen Ruan and Zhang Zihang resurfaced.
This ti the reasons were even more compelling, and the content of the rumors even more outrageous.
Wen Ruan, disturbed to the brink of a nervous breakdown, simply resigned and went back to Yan City.
And her dream in Imperial City ended in “disarray.”
The once promising and outstanding career woman beca the unsuccessful Wen Ruan of the present day.
More than three years had passed, and although so colleagues from Star Cloud International had left, many were still there.
Choosing to go back ant facing the unpleasant past, and it was truly a trendous psychological struggle for her.
That’s why she had said, if Tang Song dared to let her down, she would bite off his “little brother.”
She sighed.
Wen Ruan unlocked her phone and browsed through the photos in her album with Tang Song from the past few days.
Her mood finally lightened considerably.
Thinking over it, she opened Tang Song’s WeChat and ssaged, “Boyfriend, are you done with work? I’m feeling down right now and need your consolation.”

[Tang Song: “I’m dining with so old colleagues. Why don’t you co over? I’ll give my sturdy girlfriend lots of kisses and lifts, soothe her, and then take her for a walk around, telling her stories about my work.”]
“Pfft—” Wen Ruan laughed out loud and replied, “Okay, I just finished lunch. I need to sort out so docunts for them to use in the afternoon. Send the location; I’ll co over soon.”
This was a good opportunity.
She really wanted to chat with Tang Song’s colleagues and inquire about his past.
It would be best if she could find out which woman had hurt him.
[Tang Song: “It started raining, and it’s also noon, so it might not be easy for you to get a taxi. I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up. It’s not far from Unity Lake, should be about ten minutes away. Keep an eye out for the call.”]
Wen Ruan’s lips curved into a blissful smile as she replied, “Okay! Got it!”
Then she put away her phone and began tidying up, humming a song.
A short while later.
The clear ringtone of her phone chid.
Wen Ruan answered the call, confird her location with the driver, and happily went downstairs.
Then, at the drop-off area outside the building, she saw a black rcedes-Benz Maybach parked.
A middle-aged driver in formal attire stood by the car.
After verifying the license plate number was correct, Wen Ruan spoke with the driver briefly and smoothly got into the Maybach.
The rain drizzled outside the window.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable backseat, Wen Ruan had a clearer understanding of Tang Song’s fortune.
From the driver’s title and attitude, it was apparent that Tang Song owned property in Imperial City as well.
And judging by the level of car service, it was definitely substantial.
She pursed her lips, looking at the tall buildings flashing by outside the window, her gaze slowly becoming hazy.
It was precisely because he was so excellent that she had always hesitated, tornted by indecision.
…
Inside the restaurant.
The golden grilled fish was piping hot, its aroma lingering in the cozy little eatery.
Wushan Grilled Fish was situated on a quiet street, just a few hundred ters from igou Technology’s building.
The food was excellent, with great value for money.
It used to be a frequent dining spot for departnt colleagues.
The worn nus, black tables and chairs, simple decor…
It was all filled with mories.
From outside the window ca the occasional “boom” of thunder.
The three of them sat in front of the ground floor window, chatting softly about amusing incidents from their ti at igou Technology.
Listening to his two colleagues, Tang Song’s mood beca increasingly complex.
He clearly rembered ntioning the “Attractive Man Growth Plan” ga to many colleagues.
But these two colleagues had no recollection of it at all.
