I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 153


    Frankly speaking, Shi Nuan had just entered thepany, so Lin Yu had not assigned much work to


    her. Hence, Shi Nuan was entirely unsure as to what she ought to do, and merely asked Yuan Jia for


    some old project cases to look over and to get a better understanding of Director Lin’s character.


    Just as she was doing her research, the man of the hour arrived out of nowhere. Shi Nuan closed the


    file she was reading and followed Lin Yu into the office.


    This was already her second time in Lin Yu’s office. The office was still as it was the previous time she


    was here; it appeared as though nothing had changed. Speaking of changes, however, there was one


    thing that stood out. Where there had been stacks of files and documents on Lin Yu’s deskst time, it


    waspletely empty at the moment.


    Lin Yu seemed to be sizing Shi Nuan up as he turned to look at her, before gesturing for Shi Nuan to


    take a seat. “Ms. Shi, there is no need to be nervous. Since you have already passed the test, we


    dly wee you to the project department. From this day on, let us work hard together, to seek


    greater heights!”


    “Yeah,” Shi Nuan nodded, thenughed a little. “Director Lin, you don’t have to be so courteous.


    Please, just call me Shi Nuan.”


    Lin Yu stared at Shi Nuan, seemingly shocked by her words. Although this was not the first time the two


    of them have met, he still did not really understand Shi Nuan’s personality. Besides, he didn’t even


    know that Shi Nuan was Fu Chengyan’s wife the first time they had met. He realized this now, but Shi


    Nuan seemed to be incredibly calm both times they’ve met, without a shred of anxiety.


    ording to Lin Yu’s experience, those that were on the same level as Shi Nuan were all married to


    men like Fu Chengyan, and they tend to have the aura of a nobledy, but Shi Nuan appeared down-


    to-earth. She didn’t seem to be using her status to her advantage, and that made Lin Yu admire her a


    little more.


    Since Shi Nuan did not expose her status, and the higher ups wanted to keep this under wraps, Lin Yu


    decided to act as though he did not know anything as well. “Alright, Shi Nuan!” Lin Yu smiled. “Were


    you looking at the documents regarding some of our older projects?”


    “Yes, I was.”


    “Tell me your thoughts!” Lin Yu gazed at Shi Nuan calmly. “Please, speak your mind.”


    “Huh?” Shi Nuan was taken aback for a moment. She didn’t expect Lin Yu to ask such a difficult


    question from the very beginning. “These projects are allplete already, and I feel that theter


    stages of the projects were very well done. Quite a few of the malls under Shengyuan were built


    ording to these guidelines, so there aren’t many problems at all. I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that’s all I


    have to say. Although I was previously in a project department as well, I didn’t have much exposure,


    and have a lot more to learn.”


    Shi Nuan was very humble, but at the same time, her words were truthful. Before this, she had only


    worked at Fucheng. It was a smallpany, so there was little chance to showcase one’s abilities. As


    such, the knowledge that Shi Nuan was exposed to was very limited.


    Lin Yu nodded in agreement. “Actually, just looking at these files is not going to be of much help to you.


    I personally do not enjoy idle theorizing and prefer to see it in action!” Lin Yu stood up, took the suit


    jacket that was on the chair and pulled it on, before reaching out and knocking on the table. “Since you


    have just entered thepany, I’m sure that you don’t have much work on hand at the moment.”


    “Yes!” Shi Nuan was about to bring this up, but she did not expect Lin Yu to beat her to the punch. In


    addition, from the looks of things… “Director Lin, are you heading out now?”


    “That’s right,” Lin Yu nodded. He pulled out a folder from the drawer, then ced a portion of the


    documentation inside it again. “Since you don’t have much to do, follow me!”


    “Now?” Shi Nuan froze in shock for a moment, but quickly regained her senses. “Alright, I’ll go get


    ready right now to follow you out!”


    Lin Yu looked at how quickly Shi Nuan moved. The way she carried herself differed from the pompous


    aura that rich folk tend to have, earning Shi Nuan more brownie points from Lin Yu. As he closed the


    door behind him, Shi Nuan was standing outside, prepared and ready to go.


    Coincidentally, Yuan Jia was heading in the same direction as well. “Director Lin, are you heading out


    now? Are you going to the Western District?”


    “Yes.” Lin Yu took the documents from Yuan Jia and took a quick look at them. “Redo this. Oh, that’s


    right, you don’t have to follow me out today. Shi Nuan ising with me. I want you to redo these


    documents right now, and I want to see all the datapleted before I return!”


    He then returned the documents to Yuan Jia. “Do you understand?”


    Yuan Jia quickly collected herself then nced at Shi Nuan with a strange look in her eyes. Shi Nuan


    looked up at Yuan Jia as well, and gave her a friendly smile.


    Lin Yu, however, did not care much for their exchange. When he realized that Shi Nuan was not behind


    him, he turned his head and said with displeasure in his voice, “Ms. Shi, please pay attention. You have


    just entered thepany. Do you want to leave a bad impression on your boss?”


    “I’ll be there right now!” Shi Nuan hurried to catch up with him. “However, Director Lin, I’m still new to


    thepany, and this job as well. By bringing me out for a job like this… Are you not afraid that people


    might gossip?” Shi Nuan did not think much of this at first, but remembering the look that Yuan Jia just


    gave her… It was clear the way their perception of her had changed.


    Lin Yu stopped for a moment when he heard that. He reached out to press the button to call for the lift,


    then turned to look at Shi Nuan. “Don’t forget that you’re here at Shengyuan to work. This is for


    yourself, for thepany, and not about the way your colleagues look at you!” Lin Yu had always been


    meticulous when it came to work. To him, work was work, and personal matters should be settled


    outside of working hours. He was not responsible for the dissatisfaction between his staff and


    subordinates due to the unfair distribution of work. If that were the case, he would never have enough


    time to finish what was truly important.


    Shi Nuan pursed her lips, then muttered, “I understand.” What Lin Yu said was the truth, there was no


    way for her to refute that. Yet, she had just entered thepany and somehow managed to make


    enemies already. It just didn’t seem to bode well for her.


    Realizing that Shi Nuan had epted his reasoning, Lin Yu didn’t borate on the matter.


    Lin Yu’s car was parked at basement one of the parking lot. Only when the two have boarded the car,


    did Lin Yu speak. “We’re heading to the Western District. That area is a little remote, so if you don’t


    think you can handle that, you can still get out of the car now!”


    “Is this about the development of the Western District?” Shi Nuan’s eyes lit up. “Why would I not be


    able to handle that!”


    This project was something that she had already read about when she was in Fu Chengyan’s study the


    previous night. Shi Nuan had thought that it was still in the midst of preparation, but was it actually


    about to begin already?


    Lin Yu nodded as he saw the excited look in Shi Nuan’s eyes. “Indeed, it is the development of the


    Western District. However, it is currently still under inspection.”


    “Does this mean that we are heading over for an inspection now? Shi Nuan asked as she pulled out


    her phone to start searching up the location of the Western District, along with some information on the


    surrounding areas. “There is a mental hospital over here? And a drug rehabilitation center as well?”


    Surprised shed through Lin Yu’s eyes. He did not expect Shi Nuan to pinpoint the problem from just


    a nce.


    Shi Nuan frowned a little as she spoke, “The mental hospital was previously situated within the


    downtown area, but it created quite amotion as there were several idents rted to it. Hence, it


    was decided that the hospital would be moved to a less popted and more remote area. If this project


    were to start, this is the first issue that we ought to consider. Furthermore, there is a drug rehabilitation


    center right next to it, which will leave an impression as well.”


    She continued to look up information on the surrounding environment. “There is a river here, and an


    abandoned factory as well. The river was polluted a long time ago, which is why the factory was forced


    to stop operating.” Taking note of all these details, one by one, Shi Nuan started to feel a little


    apprehensive. “This particr project seems rather challenging. We have to first resolve all these


    problems, but also ensure that our construction will not cause environmental problems in this area.”


    “You’re pretty sharp,” Lin Yu looked at Shi Nuan with admiration and newfound respect. He couldn’t


    help but feel guilty for the prejudices he had towards her before this.


    It seemed as though some situations require deeper observation, rather than merely judging from their


    cover, or, in this case, their resume. It seemed like Shi Nuan did have her own special talents as well.


    After all, she had been able to catch the eye of Fu Chengyan. Knowing how Fu Chengyan was like as a


    person, he would never take a second nce at a useless woman.


    “These are certainly issues that we have to take into ount in order to build and expand this area.


    Many things have to be taken into consideration, which is why we are here to take a closer look today!”

    Lin Yu’s car got off the expressway and started heading towards the Western District. The two stopped


    by a gas station on their way to West City to refuel. In the meantime, Shi Nuan took the opportunity to


    leave the car and take a short walk in the vicinity to check the area out. She returned from the walk to


    see Lin Yu leaning against the side of the car, an unlit cigarette in hand.


    When he noticed Shi Nuan, Lin Yu put the cigarette back into his pocket, then asked, “What did you


    see?”


    “The staff at the gas station mentioned that there are usually not many people in this area. Cars that


    visit this ce are usually just taking a pit stop or leaving the drug rehabilitation center. If we were to


    develop this ce, we must take into consideration the market, and decide if it’s more economically


    beneficial to build a shopping mall or a medical facility, or perhaps something else. We have to think


    this through.”


    Lin Yu quirked his lips up into a smile, “Get back into the car, we’ll continue the conversation there!”


    The two talked about many things along the way. Their ideas and thought processes were very simr.


    Lin Yu quickly realized that Shi Nuan was a very intelligentdy, and only needed a little hint to


    understand what he meant.


    When they arrived at their destination, Lin Yu parked the car by arge tree. “We’re here!” He called


    out, then paused for a moment before continuing. “The roads here are a little uneven and hard to


    navigate. Next time, you’ll need to make better preparations.”


    Shi Nuan looked down at the heels she had on and chuckled a little helplessly. “Got it.” She hadn’t


    expected herself to end up on a road trip with Lin Yu on her very first day, let alone such a remote


    ce. Although the heels that she was wearing weren’t particrly high, traversing the gravelly road


    proved to be rather problematic.


    Lin Yu seemed to be able to tell that Shi Nuan was troubled. “You must understand that we face many


    unexpected situations every single day. You won’t always be given the chance to prepare yourself for it.


    All we can do is to challenge ourselves and take every possibility into ount.” He paused, then


    continued, “After all, opportunity only presents itself to those who are prepared.”


    “Indeed, it’s as you say, Director Lin,” Shi Nuan nodded firmly. Lin Yu was a practical person with a set


    of firm principles, which he applied to everything he did.


    Lin Yu chuckled, “You don’t have to be so serious about it. Since you’re working under me now, just call


    me Lin Yu!”


    “How could I ever!” Shi Nuan shook her head without missing a beat. Lin Yu was still her superior at


    work, and didn’t want him to make an exception for her, even if she were Fu Chengyan’s wife. In fact,


    that was exactly what she feared, which was why she didn’t allow Fu Chengyan himself to give her any


    special treatment. “How about this. I won’t call you Director Lin, I’ll call you Master instead!” After all,


    Lin Yu had been teaching her all this time. Within a short period of time, Shi Nuan felt as though she


    had learnt a lot already.


    Lin Yu paused for a moment, then replied, “That works!”


    “Master!”
