Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Yao Wan’er’s Foresight

After finishing the IV drip, it was only just ten o’clock, so I left the hospital by myself. Dong Xiaoye was called back to the station by Lin Zhi after he dropped me off at the hospital.

It was very strange. Dong Xiaoye was still complaining that Lin Zhi forbade her to return to the team yesterday. But why did he change his mind today and take the initiative to call her back? It was so strange that Sister Tiger and I had a hunch that something bad was coming at the same time.

It was not that we were thinking too much. If what Wang Jie told Dong Xiaoye about someone stabbing her in the back was true, then it was no surprise that there was trouble.

Sister Tiger refused to let me go back to the police station with her, which was enough sign for this problem. After all, some people’s suspicion of her stemmed from the relationship between me and Xu Heng, which was an extension of suspicion.

I didn’t do anything wrong, so I had nothing to hide. Since I wasn’t guilty, there was no need for me to explain anything to anyone. Therefore, I didn’t insist on going to the station with Dong Xiaoye. The logic of my thinking was very simple. If they wanted to prove that Dong Xiaoye had a problem, they had to prove that I had a problem first. Hence, those people who wanted to save face would not be able to do anything to her, they would only come to me in the end, so I didn’t worry about Sister Tiger.

There was no need for me to cooperate with the boring actions of some boring people, whether it was actively or passively.

I called Liusu in advance, so when I went to Fengchang, Liusu was already waiting for me downstairs.

“Nan Nan, Mo Fei wants to keep you so much, are you really willing to resign?”

Liusu didn’t know that Mo Fei had deliberately torn up my resignation letter. She wanted me to return to the company again and give her a reply to her confession. However, from Mo Fei’s attitude of not willing to let me go, she could easily sense that there was something going on between us. She was very suspicious about it, so when she said this, it was not only just to tease me, but also to test me.

I didn’t want to hide it because of a guilty conscience. I just felt that since I had decided to reject Mo Fei, there was no need to tell her about this. After all, Mo Fei was a woman with high self-esteem, telling other people that I had rejected her would only make it sound like I was trying to show off. Moreover, it would also make Mo Fei lose her face in front of other people.

Seeing Liusu was trying very hard to conceal her nervousness, I smiled and said, “Now that I think about it, I am actually quite reluctant. Maybe I should stay?”

“I dare you!” Liusu immediately glared at me angrily. But when she saw that I burst out laughing, she instantly realized that I was joking. “Nan Nan, stop teasing me!” Liusu gnashed her teeth in embarrassment and said with a blushing face.

“Hehe, it was just a joke,” I pinched Liusu’s cheek lightly and said with a chuckle, “but look at you. Do you have no confidence in me or do you have no confidence in yourself?”

“I don’t have any confidence in both,” Liusu pouted her lips, “Mo Fei was originally the lover of your dreams, but what am I? I am not as beautiful as her, nor do I have a good figure like her. Not to mention the temperament, I am not feminine at all…”

“That’s not right,” I said seriously, “Who said you are not feminine? You are much more feminine than Mo Fei!”

Liusu was dazed, then her eyes lit up, “You really think so? !”

“Of course,” I took a big sniff, and asked with a serious face, “do you not smell the smell of jealousy in the elevator?”

“Nan Nan! You are so annoying!” Liusu hit my shoulder with a punch, trying very hard to look angry, but ended up giggling like a little girl, “I’m not jealous!”

While we were talking happily, the elevator stopped at the floor of the investment department. Liusu was finally able to stop herself from smiling and gave me a fierce look. Then she quickly took a step away from me. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but chuckle. When we were still best buddies, she never felt embarrassed about staying closer to me in front of other people. She often rested her legs on my thighs and asked me to massage her, but now she even felt embarrassed to stand closer to me.

She was a woman, after all, it was just that she herself didn’t realize it, or maybe she had no confidence in herself.

The elevator door opened. When I just stepped out, a girl in a pink professional suit just happened to be walking into the elevator. Her forehead directly bumped into my chin. After we both let out a painful grunt, we both took a step back in a hurry.

Just when I was wondering who was being so careless, I saw the girl with a blushing face push the small glasses on the bridge of her nose up in embarrassment. “Nan… Elder Brother Nan? !” She was surprised.

I was taken aback, and only then did I recognize that the delicate girl in front of me was actually Yao Wan’er from the general operation team.

I hadn’t seen her for a few days, but she had her hair cut short and changed to a new hairstyle, so that I almost didn’t recognize her at a glance.

She had ear-length short hair, and her style now was somewhat similar to that of Dong Xiaoye. It felt no longer as scholarly as before, but a little bit more lively. Although she looked more energetic, she still spoke softly as always, “Elder Brother Nan, you are finally back. It’s great. Without you, the general operation team seemed to be less lively than before in the past few days. Liusu, Elder Sister Liu, Elder Brother Yang, and other people were all talking about how much they missed you…”

“Ahem!”

Liusu coughed a few times, trying to get attention. Only then, did Yao Wan’er notice that Liusu was also in the elevator? “Elder Sister Liusu, you are here too…”

Liusu blushed and rolled her eyes at me, “Wan’er, when did I say that I missed him?”

The innocent Yao Wan’er didn’t understand Liusu’s eye signal at all, and replied honestly, “Didn’t you tell us that while showing us the box of pork ribs rice that you forced your cousin to cook for elder Brother Nan yesterday?…”

“Ah!” Liusu hurriedly pounced forward to cover Yao Wan’er’s mouth, her face was extremely red. “No! I didn’t say that! It was clearly me who made the pork ribs rice!”

“Oh?” Seeing the expression of realization on my face, Liusu almost wanted to run away and find a place to hide. No wonder the rib rice was so delicious yesterday. I thought Liusu’s cooking skills were getting better, but it turned out that it was Shu Tong who prepared it.

However, I didn’t have the heart to let Liusu lose face in front of outsiders. I just quickly changed the topic. Rubbing the painful chin that was hit by Yao Wan’er, I smiled and asked, “Wan’er, where are you going that you are in such a hurry?”

“Oh, Ms. Mo asked me to go to HR to fetch a file!”

Liusu let out a sigh of relief and also curiously, “A file? Whose file? Are there going to be any change in our team?”

Yao Wan’er pointed at me with her slender finger, “Yes. Isn’t it about Elder Brother Nan?”

“About me?” I was taken aback. On the day I left the company, I fought with Zhang Mingjie, Li Qi, and Hong Tao, and even went to the police station because of it, so I could be considered to be quite famous in Fengchang Group. I didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I had been telling Liusu not to tell anyone about me coming to the company today. So, Mo Fei shouldn’t know that I would be coming to see her today. But why would she ask Yao Wan’er to get my file from the human resources department? Did she know my decision already? After thinking about it carefully, the first sentence Yao Wan’er said when she saw me just now was also very strange. “You are finally back”. Why did it seem like she knew that I would come back to the company one day?

Could she predict the future? No, it was not possible.

“His?” Surprisingly, Liusu didn’t seem to be curious about why Mo Fei would know that I would be coming back to the company today. She probably felt that getting my file from the human resource department meant that I would finally be leaving the company officially, so she was secretly happy. But on the surface, she pretended to be puzzled and asked, “why does Ms. Mo want Nan Nan’s file?”

I was sure that Liusu was asking this question in my stead. The reason was very simple. She wanted to confirm her guesses from Yao Wan’er. “It’s not Ms. Mo who wants it. Ms. Mo said that the chairman wants the file, so she asked me to get the file and immediately send it to the chairman’s office.”

“Chairman?” I couldn’t figure out why he would want my file. Moreover, he could directly ask the people of the human resource department to send it to his office. Why did he want to go through Mo Fei?

“Mhm,” Yao Wan’er looked at me, like looking at the puppy who came back on its own after running away from home for a few days. She was both happy and relieved. “Two days ago, I heard from my aunt that you will return to the company to work soon and you will definitely be promoted. I didn’t believe it at that time. But I didn’t expect to see you today. Elder Brother Nan, remember to invite everyone to dinner tonight. You have promised it. Hehe..”

“Oh…” I nodded absentmindedly. I seemed to have indeed said that once I found a job, I would invite everyone to dinner. But I never said that I would come back to work for Fengchang.

Yao Wan’er’s aunt was one of the company’s senior executives, Yao Ling. She was also someone who was on Mo Yizhi’s side. But why did she say that I would return to work for Fengchang and I would be promoted?

There were too many questions. My intuition told me that this was a bad sign, but before I could ask, Yao Wan’er had already gotten into the elevator and waved to me, “I really need to go now. Then, I will see you tonight.”

“Oh… wait, what? !” I suddenly came back to my senses. Looking at the closed elevator, I turned my head and asked Liusu, who was also confused, “What did she mean by that?”

“I also want to ask you!” Liusu said in a huff, “Have you promised her that you would invite her to dinner?”

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. In Liusu’s mind, this was much more important than everything else.
