After tossing and turning all night, Bai Lu finally concluded that she had not adjusted to jet lag. When she woke up the next day, her complexion was not very good. As she had an interview, she specially put on light makeup and chose a professional suit. She prepared everything she needed, ate some breakfast made by Chin Jin-hee, and hurried out.
The company in City C was called Lati Architecture and Design. It was very famous in the industry. Before Bai Lu graduated, she had also specially looked for her mentor. He also agreed that it was not a big problem for her to enter this company. There was also a lot of room for her future development.
Her identity was relatively special. As a graduate of SGA, she was very confident in the architectural design industry. Therefore, Bai Lu went directly to the human resources department. The person who applied for her was not the supervisor of Lati's human resources department, but the general manager himself.
It was a man who looked to be about 30 years old. His facial features were deep, his appearance was very outstanding, and his aura was very strong. These days, Bai Lu was used to being independent and did not care about other people's opinions. However, when faced with this man, she was a little nervous.
When the other party saw Bai Lu, he gestured for her to sit down. He supported his temple with one hand and casually tapped the blue folder on the table with the other. He was the first to speak. His voice was calm and reserved. "… Bai Lu? 26 years old, graduated from SGA's School of Architecture and Design in England. You also have a recommendation letter from King, right? If I remember correctly, you participated in City A's design competition more than a year ago, right? "
Bai Lu nodded. "Yes."
"You used to work at EC? You were a secretary, and then you became the CEO's assistant? "
"…"
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. In fact, there was indeed some work experience at EC and her previous job in her application materials. However, she did not expect that this general manager would specifically read it out and ask her about it.
She did not have any conflicting emotions in her heart, but there was an indescribable awkwardness in her. She frowned, secretly took a deep breath, and nodded. "Yes."
"You know Liang Feifan?"
"…"
Bai Lu's hands, which had been placed on her knees cautiously, suddenly twisted together. She lowered her eyes, and there was some uneasiness in the depths of her eyes.
In fact, not many people in City A knew about her marriage with Liang Feifan a year ago. At that time, they were almost in a secret marriage, so she wrote "unmarried" under the column "Marital Status" in the information.
There was no other problem. He just didn't want the past that he wanted to hide to be exposed.
As for her, after graduating from SGA in England, she did not intend to have anything to do with that man.
However, she also knew that the Liang Clan had a company that was involved in architectural design, so she tried her best to avoid meeting that man.
However, she didn't expect that on the first day of the interview, the general manager of the company would raise her most sensitive question.
Bai Lu hesitated for a moment and finally said, "… Yes, I do."
It would be too far-fetched to say that she didn't know him. The other party knew that she used to be his secretary and worked for him. How could she not know him?
Bai Lu still couldn't figure out why the general manager suddenly mentioned Liang Feifan instead of asking her about the design. Her heart was in turmoil when the man opposite her spoke again.
"Miss Bai, you used to work in EC for a period of time. Later on, it was because of EC that you had the opportunity to participate in the design competition. After that, you skyrocketed and won the highest award in the competition, so you had the opportunity to go to SGA. From what I know, when you went to SGA, you delayed it for a few days. You and I both know that SGA's rules are not for ordinary people to enter. If you delayed it for a few days even with a slot, you must have used a lot of connections. In this process, there should be no shortage of the Liang Clan's CEO, Liang Feifan. So I think that Liang Feifan should be considered a benefactor to you, Miss Bai, right? "
"…"
Bai Lu bit her lip. She had no idea what this man was up to. From the moment she sat down, his topic had been revolving around Liang Feifan. What was the meaning of this?
However, she couldn't avoid this question. After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she nodded. "… Yes, Liang … Mr. Liang of the Liang Clan, who was EC's CEO, Liang Feifan, did help me a lot. In other words, without him, I wouldn't be where I am today …"
"But what I don't quite understand is why you have to revolve the topic around Liang Feifan? Manager, I'm here to apply for a job in your company. I don't think I have much to do with the Liang Clan in City A, right? "
The man smiled slightly. His facial features were very distinct. He raised his eyebrows and leaned back in his office chair. "Miss Bai, don't be agitated. I don't have any ill intentions and I don't intend to pry into the company's employees' privacy. I just want to ask Miss Bai, since the Liang Clan groomed you, why didn't you go to the Liang Clan after you came back?"
"…"
Bai Lu's eyes flashed. She didn't expect him to ask this question. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
After a moment of silence, the manager laughed. "It's fine. If Miss Bai doesn't want to answer, I'm sure there must be a reason. Don't be too nervous. I'm not interested in knowing Miss Bai's private matters." He paused and said, "You can come to work tomorrow. Also, I happen to have a project on hand that might require Miss Bai's help. I believe that the architectural design genius from SGA has been appointed by your mentor, the famous King as the next designer for the 'Cement Queen'. I'm sure you won't disappoint me, right? "
Bai Lu was speechless.
Did this mean … she passed?
He didn't even ask her about the design. He just asked Liang Feifan and she passed …
The man opposite her had already stood up. Bai Lu hurriedly gathered her thoughts and hurriedly stood up as well. She thought for a moment and asked, "… Manager, can you tell me in advance? What kind of project is it? I want to be mentally prepared. "
"Miss Bai, my name is Wen Zhaoren."
Bai Lu was taken aback. "Manager Wen."
"Oh." Wen Zhaoren's slender body leaned lazily on the large office desk. He crossed his arms and looked at Bai Lu calmly. "When you come to work tomorrow, I'll personally explain the project to you. You can go back now."
As he spoke, he raised his wrist to look at the time. "It's about time. I'm going to have lunch."
"…"
It was only 10 o 'clock now, wasn't it?
Lunch … so early?
However, Bai Lu naturally didn't say much. She felt that this man called Wen Zhaoren was a little strange. He was a company manager, but he exuded a lazy aura. Looking at his clothes, they weren't cheap either. With the title of company manager on his head, he looked more like a hedonistic young master.
Bai Lu said goodbye to Wen Zhaoren and walked out of the office. The man she thought was a hedonistic young master smiled and quickly took out his phone to make a call.
"… Don't forget what we agreed on before. I've asked everything you wanted me to ask. The answer I gave you is — she hasn't forgotten the little bit of kindness you used to give her, but she doesn't want to talk about you."
"…"
"I've arranged the follow-up questions for you. Brother, brother, this is all I can help you with. "
"…"
City A.
A man in a black suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office. This was a height of more than 20 floors. Looking down from here, the traffic below seemed to be a miniature version. The whole world seemed to be trampled under his feet —
There were too many successful people who always liked to set up their offices at such a height, because this way, they could always feel that they were such a high and mighty person.
But so what if they really gave you the whole world?
…
"Mm," the man replied in a deep voice. "… I'll remember this favor. Don't worry about the project we're working on next. I won't mistreat you for the 3 or 7% that I promised you."
The person on the other end of the phone said something, and the man's lips slowly curled up. He tightened his grip on the phone in his hand. His deep voice didn't reveal much emotion, but it was filled with the deepest forbearance. "This little bit of money is nothing. To me, waiting for her to walk toward me is the most difficult thing …"
"… Her personality isn't someone who will walk toward me of her own accord. I can only get close to her like this to have a chance."
"…"
After hanging up, the man placed the phone on the table beside him. He stretched out his hands and spread his fingers, supporting himself on the glass window. His deep eyes flashed. He had been silent for more than a year, and his emotions had not been stirred for more than a year. At this moment, his heart was surging.
Bai Lu … Bai Lu …
The next day.
Lati Architectural Design Company had a very high reputation in the industry. However, what Bai Lu didn't know was that Wen Zhaoren, who had interviewed her yesterday, was actually the crown prince of Lati. He rarely appeared in the company in person, but this morning, he appeared in the company well-dressed. Behind him, there was a woman in white.
Capable and refreshing, her black hair was tied into a ponytail. A pair of wide black-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, covering some of the light in her eyes, but it didn't make her look dull at all.
This woman had a very unique aura that couldn't be ignored.
Wen Zhaoren had just talked to his distant cousin, Wen Han-woo, on the phone and didn't forget to tease that man.
He got an eldest son for nothing, which made people envious and jealous. He really should congratulate that guy.
