Capítulo 1608: Chapter 1609: The Girl with Three Failures 116
Zhang Yu stared at Cheng Jian, who stood before her looking so put together, and she was truly stunned.
A few days ago, when she was talking with Mike about Jiang Lili, Cheng Jian was ntioned, but that didn’t an she wanted to see him.
The most infuriating thing was, the fact that this guy is here ans he’s doing quite well.
Wasn’t he working in a foreign enterprise in City S before? How did he end up in this large corporation, which is preparing to go public overseas, having even entrusted Ye Zhuo this ti?
After learning about the company’s plan to go public overseas and the investnt bank they were working with, Cheng Jian was prepared to work with Zhang Yu.
Before eting, he had thought about many things, including Zhang Yu’s potential reactions, and had strategies ready to deal with them.
Including how Zhang Yu, now, calmly walked past him, her calm deanor instead made Cheng Jian feel a bit uneasy.
They clearly used to be lovers, yet how could Zhang Yu be so calm?
After entering the eting room and listening to the introductions, it turned out Cheng Jian worked in this company’s finance departnt. They hired him because of his experience in investnt banking, banking, and foreign enterprise finance.
Listening to the company’s introduction and observing the slightly uneasy Cheng Jian, Zhang Yu thought this guy really had so nerve. He must have done so embellishing on his resu.
Now, background checks aren’t very common, otherwise, just one investnt firm wouldn’t speak well of him.
Cheng Jian felt restless, always having a hard-to-describe feeling when Zhang Yu looked his way.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu knew she was here for proper business, so she quickly started working, allowing Cheng Jian to breathe a slight sigh of relief because, regardless, she didn’t expose him.
Cheng Jian pulled himself together and started working earnestly. Regardless of his past work capabilities, as long as he worked seriously now, he couldn’t possibly lose this job.
Zhang Yu noticed one of the liaison staff was Cheng Jian, and thought he might still be the sa incompetent guy as before. However, after not seeing him for a long ti, his work ability had indeed improved, at least better than the mory of the incompetent Cheng Jian.
Astonished, Zhang Yu also found it quite normal. Cheng Jian’s abilities weren’t outstanding in the investnt bank, but entering the investnt bank initially indicated he had so skill and competence.
Later, as he got used to taking the easy way out and stopped thinking deeply, after leaving the investnt bank, he had to rely on himself for everything. Even if the progress wasn’t obvious, he was still stronger than before.
Cheng Jian had known before how strong Zhang Yu was, but he didn’t expect that after not seeing her for a few years, she had beco even more assertive.
The assertive Zhang Yu was indeed quite different from the one he rembered. If he felt any regret before…
Now seeing the assertive Zhang Yu, Cheng Jian truly had no regrets. For such a strong woman, forget about it.
Zhang Yu was seriously verifying data with soone, but she could feel soone staring at her. Without looking up, she knew it was none other than Cheng Jian.
During the break, Zhang Yu went out to the small garden to get so air and clear her mind.
“I thought before that it might be you,” Cheng Jian said as he approached after noticing no one else was around.
Regarding Cheng Jian coming over, Zhang Yu wasn’t surprised. Compared to her slight shock, Cheng Jian should be described as nervous and apprehensive.
“Afraid I’ll expose you?” Zhang Yu teased, “But you needn’t worry. Your resu’s work history is probably real; the ability and performance are up to you to write.”
“Who’s backing you up,” Zhang Yu emphasized. Even after being here for just half a day, she inquired a bit about why Cheng Jian appeared here.
Even with a work background, standing out in this company isn’t easy. Cheng Jian isn’t particularly capable, and after not working here long, standing out among everyone is indeed difficult.
“You still remind of the Cheng Jian I rember.” Zhang Yu was genuinely impressed. “With your handso appearance and graduating from R University, you’re quite the smooth talker.”
“Make the other person very happy.”
“Even after a second marriage, you managed to woo a wealthy heiress.” Zhang Yu was genuinely impressed with Cheng Jian. “You really aim to make a career out of living off soone else.”
“Do your uncle and aunt know you’re still freeloading?” Zhang Yu, though busy, stayed in touch with Cheng Jian’s parents occasionally, sending them gifts during holidays.
Having previously heard them ntion Cheng Jian working in a foreign enterprise, “Is it just a job change, or do you not want your parents to know you’re just freeloading?”
Cheng Jian didn’t expect busy Zhang Yu to learn so quickly that soone was backing him, “You, you…”
“Don’t be mad, you’ve freeloaded before. Will it be like last ti?”
“Do you know what Jiang Lili’s situation is now?”
“As her ex-husband, do you know that Jiang Lili ddled with what she shouldn’t have?”
“Do you know her parents now manage and control all her assets?”
“Have you ever thought, if you hadn’t divorced her, as her husband, you could also manage and control these assets?”
Zhang Yu barraged Cheng Jian with questions, looking at him expectantly.
Cheng Jian was completely taken aback by Zhang Yu’s barrage of questions, “I didn’t know, and I don’t regret it.”
“Yes, had I separated from you, I might have regretted it, but separating from Jiang Lili, I truly don’t regret it.”
Thinking of the final days with Jiang Lili, Cheng Jian straightened his back. No, he had no regrets. “Spending a day with her felt like spending a day in hell.”
“Leaving her, I finally feel relieved.” Cheng Jian took a deep breath, “Zhang Yu, I’m sorry.”
Zhang Yu was montarily stunned; she hadn’t expected Cheng Jian to apologize at this mont, and sincerely too, “I know, I accept, but I don’t forgive.”
Could this apology erase what they did to the original person? No, absolutely not.
Zhang Yu turned to leave; staying in the sa place with him felt so uncomfortable.
Cheng Jian watched Zhang Yu’s back for a long ti, then took a sip of his coffee. His apology was just accepted, that’s all.
He knew that even if he apologized now, Zhang Yu wouldn’t accept or forgive him; he just hoped Zhang Yu would stop fixating on him.
Now in his thirties, all his classmates were doing better—having houses and cars—while he had managed to buy a car but still felt pressured to buy a bigger house.
Though freeloading had a bad reputation, it truly was appealing. As long as he did well this ti, when the company went public, his position would definitely rise.
He really hoped Zhang Yu wouldn’t ruin it, as missing out on such a rare opportunity would be devastating, and he couldn’t be sure if another like it would co his way again.
Cheng Jian silently prayed, hoping to get through this smoothly.
