Chapter 7 Their Father
- “I've been raising them alone for the past five years.”
- “What?! Five years! That means you were already pregnant before you left for England! Was it before the Jian family's downfall? Don't tell me they're Shangguan Li's children!” Ling Zhixiao stopped herself. It couldn't be him; Lan is obviously mixed-blooded.
- “Man, who's their father?”
- Jian Chen suddenly pushed the door open and approached Ling Zhixiao slowly. “We have no father. Lan and I only need our Mommy.”
- Emotions of sadness crept up Ling Zhixiao upon hearing his words. The poor boy was only five, yet he was mature enough to utter such heavy but filial words.
- “Chen, get out. Mommy is discussing something with Aunt Zhixiao.” Jian Man softly pushed her son out of the room.
- Before leaving, the little boy turned around and glared at Ling Zhixiao. “Aunt Zhixiao, don't you bully my Mommy.”
- Ling Zhixiao nodded rapidly; only then the boy left them alone.
- “My God, your son has such an imposing vibe! I'm almost frightened to death.” Ling Zhixiao heaved a relieved sigh and patted her chest out of lingering fear.
- Jian Man lifted her chin proudly. “My dear Company Secretary, what a scaredy-cat you are! Chen is just a child.”
- The mention of her position reminded Ling Zhixiao though. “By the way, since you have been working in the Strategy Planning Department for so many years overseas, maybe you can apply to work in my company. Our Strategy Planning Department is hiring; with your experience, you'll have no problem entering.”
- Jian Man nodded in agreement. “Give me the company name, address and email.”
- “It's Fu Corporation. The company is a major one with assets worth a hundred times more than Ouya Group! Send me your resume now; I'll forward it to the Human Resource Department.”
- Ling Zhixiao's eyes lit up at her friend's exceptional resume. With her strong experience, she could definitely enter Fu Corporation. Plus, their President was a man of strong capabilities and handsome like a Greek god. So many ladies were after him! Perhaps her friend might stand a chance!
- However, Jian Man's mouse stopped halfway through her email. Fu Corporation was the short form for Fu Tian Corporation. That was Fu Hanyu's company!
- “Man, what are you waiting for!” Ling Zhixiao snatched the mouse away from her and sent her resume to her email.
- “Settled! Now I can print out a copy in the office and send it right to the Human Resource Department.”
- Ling Zhixiao chuckled sneakily as her eyes lit up teasingly, “Let me tell you a few things about our President, Mr. Fu Hanyu! His market worth has skyrocketed for the past five years. With his exceptionally keen eye for the best deals and his pivotal decisions, he's now the most reported CEO of all media outlets! You'll see tomorrow.”
- Jian Man did not answer her. She was struggling with her thoughts on Fu Hanyu. That man was her enemy, yet also the most powerful person who could help her now.
- To investigate the Jian family’s demise, she needed to enter a company that was much bigger than Ouya Group. Fu Tian Corporation was definitely the best choice available.
- “Zhixiao, I'll resend a new one to you.” Jian Man began to amend her resume.
- “Huh? Man, why are you changing your name?”
- She had changed her name to Jian Qinan...
- “What why? Just follow my instructions.”
- Ling Zhixiao knew she couldn't change Jian Man's stubborn mind. “Fine! You're the boss. I'll listen to you!”
- At Fu Corporation, Jian Man arrived in light blue office wear. Her hair was still in her old-fashioned bun and she was wearing her ancient, gold-rimmed glasses.
- She hadn't entered the building when the guards stopped her. “Miss, you're not a staff of Fu Corporation.”
- “I'm here for my interview,” Jian Man answered with a polite smile.
- “Our staffs never have such bad taste in clothes. It would be better for you to go back and dress yourself properly.”
- “So you dare to question the Chief Company Secretary, Ms. Ling Zhixiao's taste in her recommendations?” Jian Man threatened smilingly.
