I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 152


    The receptionist from the front desk led Shi Nuan to the project management department. She was


    here once before, so she could find Lin Yu’s office very quickly. Lin Yu’s assistant probably expected


    Shi Nuan to report herself at work today, hence as soon as she saw the receptionist brought someone


    over, she asked, “Are you Ms. Shi?”


    “Yes, I’m Shi Nuan,” Shi Nuan smiled politely and studied the woman in front of her. She looked


    competent and well-experienced. The woman was also studying her before she nodded and said, “I’m


    the assistant of Director Lin, Yuan Jia. Director Lin mentioned earlier that Ms. Shi will report to work


    today.”


    “Yes. That would be me. Thank you, Ms. Yuan,” Shi Nuan greeted Yuan Jia with a smile. She thought


    that Yuan Jia had a good attitude and was a kind person. She continued, “Is Director Lin in?”


    “Yes, I will bring you in now.”


    Yuan Jia led Shi Nuan to Lin Yu’s office. When she was about to knock, the door was opened from


    inside. Lin Yu looked like he was leaving. Yuan Jia and Shi Nuan’s presence puzzled him momentarily,


    then he immediately said, “I’m going for a meeting now. Yuan Jia, show Ms. Shi around so that she can


    familiarize herself with the environment. Fill her in with the important matters then bring her to HR for


    onboarding procedures.”


    Lin Yu spoke fast and left with wide strides as soon as he finished. Lin Yu was quick and vigorous; it


    took Shi Nuan a while to gain back her senses.


    Yuan Jia smiled at Shi Nuan, “Don’t mind him, you will get used to that. That happens very often,” Yuan


    Jia exined, she probably thought Shi Nuan was not used to the pace in the office.


    Shi Nuan denied hurriedly, “No, I think it’s OK. Ms. Yuan, do you have time to show me around and


    introduce the coworkers to me?”


    “Sure, let me introduce some coworkers to you first. Then I’ll bring you to HR for onboarding


    procedures. But Ms. Shi, have we met elsewhere? Your previous workce perhaps? You look very


    familiar,” Yuan Jia asked.


    “Not that I can think of. I guess that’s because I have a generic face, hence the familiarity. I was with an


    ordinarypany previously,” Shi Nuan was not trying to keep her previous working experience a


    secret- she just purely did not want to get involved with Fucheng.


    Yuan Jia could not help but smile as she scrutinized Shi Nuan, “Your look is nothing like the average


    women.” Yuan Jia was telling the truth. She had seen a lot of pretty girls, but one as ssy as Shi


    Nuan who stood out with her own characteristics in the crowd, was extremely rare. That was why when


    Shi Nuan said that, Yuan Jia just treated her as being overly humble.


    Yuan Jia introduced some coworkers from the project management department and they were equally


    curious about her. Shengyuan’s recruitment was seasonal and they did not recruit just anyone. Shi


    Nuan was the only one epted at this timing; everyone expressed their curiosities about her status.


    Shi Nuan exined that she was indeed just an ordinary person. Shi Nuan then mentioned that she


    was Zhou Zheng’s distant rtive when Yuan Jia insisted on the answer. That ended their wild


    guesses.


    Zhou Zheng was, after all, Fu Chengyan’s right-hand man. His status symbolized his authority which


    was just behind Fu Chengyan and the shareholders. They stopped asking when Zhou Zheng’s name


    came up.


    Shi Nuan finally escaped their interrogation and followed Yuan Jia to HR. After the onboarding


    procedures, Yuan Jia led Shi Nuan to her desk.


    Normally, senior management meetingssted for a very long time. This meeting was called for


    suddenly. All of them were caught off-guard and they did not have time to prepare. In the end, they


    were criticized by Fu Chengyan during the meeting. They were asked to present a better proposal as


    soon as possible. When it came to operation updates on the finance department and overseas


    department, Fu Chengyan always kept a very close tab. After the meeting, everyone looked like they


    had been skinned alive. They were very exhausted and they left the meeting room wearily.


    Fu Chengyan looked at the messy documents on the desk and then he pushed them all away, “Throw


    them away. Get them toe up with a better proposal. Lin Yu stays.”


    Lin Yu was preparing to leave; he stopped immediately as soon as he heard Fu Chengyan’s instruction,


    “Yes? CEO Fu?”


    Fu Chengyan stood up and nced at Lin Yu, “About the development on the piece ofnd at West


    City, what’s your progress?”


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Lin Yu reported, “Currently we are having preliminary evaluations. West City is considered a high risk


    area and it is also located in the suburban area- some of the ces were long abandoned. I have been


    to that ce before, there were psychiatric hospitals and rehab centers nearby, so it was basically


    determined not suitable for development. CEO Fu…”


    Fu Chengyan raised his head and interrupted Lin Yu, “No need to rush. Complete the evaluation first. I


    heard that those ces might be shifted away. Moreover, that piece ofnd has not been plotted yet. It


    is still unknown if those ces are in the territory. But since you mentioned it, then we must prepare the


    corresponding precautions. I prepare to ce the bidding for that piece ofnd for development.”


    Fu Chengyan made himself very clear- he was determined to get that piece ofnd. They had to


    ovee any problems that surfaced.


    Lin Yu understood that Fu Chengyan’s intention was firm, so he nodded and replied, “I’ll do this right.


    Be rest assured, CEO Fu.” Lin Yu used to be in overseas; he returned to the country ambitiously. He


    had faced a fair share of failures in Jiang City before. Somepanies could not meet with Lin Yu’s


    ideas and it disappointed him.


    When he entered Shengyuan, Lin Yu realized that the way Fu Chengyan worked shed a light on him.


    He could see his future again. Lin Yu deeply admired this man’s character- the way he handled things


    and his foresight. He always treated Fu Chengyan as a god-like existence. He never thought Fu


    Chengyan would open a backdoor in his department for a woman.


    Lin Yu recalled the woman named Shi Nuan. He investigated her once before. Shi Nuan had a beautiful


    track record but that did not mean anything. Shi Nuan worked in Fucheng before, and truth to be told,


    Lin Yu looked down on Fucheng.


    Lin Yu never expected that night, the highest authority of Shengyuan, Fu Chengyan, would call him


    personally and indicate his intentions.


    “Anything else?” Fu Chengyan noticed Lin Yu’s hesitancy.


    “About Ms. Shi. If I may ask, who is she to you? I don’t mean anything. Just that I have never seen you


    give any preferential treatment at work,” Lin Yu chose his words carefully.


    “You think this is preferential treatment?” Fu Chengyan supported his chin with one hand but his sight


    was upon the documents that were scattered on the desk. He appeared rather inattentive.


    Lin Yu could not grasp the meaning of Fu Chengyan’s response, he could only seek help from Zhou


    Zheng’s with his eyes. Zhou Zheng was smart enough to turn his head away and pretend to be very


    busy.


    Lin Yu dug a grave for himself and Zhou Zheng did not want to apany him!


    It was definitely better to stay alive.


    Fu Chengyan noticed Lin Yu’s nervousness and he curled his lips, “If you think this is preferential


    treatment, it’s a preferential treatment then.”


    Lin Yu and Zhou Zheng were made speechless.


    Fu Chengyan put down his hand, “Since it is a rare asion for my preferential treatment, let’s make it


    worthwhile.” He stood up, picked up one of the documents and left the rest for Zhou Zheng. He


    continued, “Be sure to take good care of her. Assign her with the easy tasks you have on hand. She


    has spent time in the project management department before but her exposure is not enough. You said


    this is a preferential treatment, then make sure it bes the best preferential treatment. Give your


    best resources to her so that she can get started with ease. Oh right, arrange her to be on West City’s


    development too.”


    Fu Chengyan left the instructions and strode off. Zhou Zheng and Lin Yu stared at each other but Lin


    Yu was in a greater shock. He never thought Fu Chengyan would admit to this preferential treatment so


    directly and even made sure it was done thoroughly.


    Even Lin Yu himself could not confirm theplexity and difficulties of the development of West City.


    Even in the project management department, not everyone had the experience or qualifications to


    participate in it. His big boss just easily let Shi Nuan, a rookie who just joined thepany, to partake


    in it. This was hard to digest, even for Lin Yu.


    Zhou Zheng sighed and tapped on Lin Yu’s shoulder, “Get used to it. The first time I saw Master


    Chengyan throw himself at her and offer his utmost courtesy, I nearly dropped my eyeballs.”


    “Master Chengyan? Threw himself at her? For Shi Nuan? Shi Nuan and Master Chengyan?” Lin Yu’s


    eyes shed with a glint.


    Zhou Zheng nodded, “Yes, their rtionship is exactly what you have in mind. So just teach her nice


    and easy. She could have just stayed at home but she asked for a job. Master Chengyan didn’t want


    her to go to other ces so he could only ce her somewhere nearby. You happened to be the one


    Master Chengyan trusts the most. All the best! I believe in you!” Zhou Zheng tapped on Lin Yu’s


    shoulder.


    “This is too ttering. The one Master Chengyan trusts the most is you!” Even so, his words still


    pleased Lin Yu. Now knowing that his boss entrusted him with his wife and even ced her in his


    department, Lin Yu who had such high integrity had to focus on this preferential treatment now.


    “I have to leave now. Think about what you should do next,” Zhou Zheng reached for the door and


    paused, he thought of something he needed to say, “About Master Chengyan’s wife working at your


    department, no one knows other than the few of us. No one knows Master Chengyan is married, so…”


    “I got it. I will keep my mouth shut, “ Lin Yu nodded.


    “All I am saying is, if someone were to doubt Mrs. Fu, you can just say that she is my distant rtive.”


    Lin Yu smiled bitterly then he quickly gathered the documents and went back straight to project


    management department.


    Yuan Jia noticed Lin Yu’s return and got up hurriedly, “Director Lin, I brought Shi Nuan to familiarize the


    surroundings and introduce the coworkers in the project management department to her. We did the


    onboarding process at HR too.” Yuan Jia met Lin Yu’s eyes and continued, “I arranged Shi Nuan to


    rece Li Si’s position. Li Si is on maternity leave now. I n on further rearrangements after she gets


    back.”


    “Got it,” Lin Yu nodded and signaled Yuan Jia to go back to work. He then walked to the front of Shi


    Nuan’s desk. He nodded when he saw Shi Nuan moving the old files on previous projects to her desk


    and starting to read them. He knocked on her desk, “Ms. Shi, pleasee to my office.”
