Nan Wanwan smiled gently and shook hands with her.
“Hello, I didn’t expect us to meet under such circumstances. I look forward to your guidance in future work.”
“You’re too polite. It is our honor that Quanxi was able to invite you to join us.”
There were too many formalities, and Nan Wanwan did not want to continue the exchange here in case it was mistaken as showing off. She turned her head toward Quan Yuchen and said calmly,
“President Quan, you should believe it now, shouldn’t you?”
Quan Yuchen’s eyes were as dark as ink, and the curve of his lips remained cold and restrained.
“So you already anticipated today’s situation, didn’t you? You thoroughly investigated my information, and in order to get closer to me, you deliberately entered Quanxi in advance.”
Nan Wanwan frowned slightly, unable to immediately understand what he meant.
During her moment of confusion, He Sheng kindly explained,
“Quanxi is a subsidiary of the Quan Group. It is under President Quan’s direct management.”
Her pupils shook violently, as if a herd of horses had just trampled through her mind. After a moment, she took a breath and said,
“…Is it still possible to cancel the contract?”
“Fifty million. Liquidated damages.”
Quan Yuchen’s eyes were extremely cold, and his voice was even colder than his gaze.
Nan Wanwan’s eyes flickered, her fingers nervously intertwining. She truly could not afford that money.
Watching everything unfold silently, Nan Qiqi gently tugged at Quan Yuchen’s sleeve and looked at him pitifully, silently begging.
The man’s sharp eyes moved slightly and he pulled her hand away.
“Quanxi does not accept useless people.”
Nan Wanwan vaguely sensed that his tone had softened slightly and did not argue with him.
“President Quan, I will prove my value to you.”
Quan Yuchen’s gaze turned even darker as he coldly swept past her.
“One month. Increase Quanxi’s sales by ten percent. If you fail, leave.”
After speaking, he turned and walked into the Quan Empire building—the tallest structure in Shendu City. He Sheng gave Nan Wanwan a meaningful look before quickly following after him.
Nan Wanwan watched his departing figure and slightly curved her lips.
The director took a sharp breath, unable to imagine the target Quan Yuchen had set for her.
“Miss Doris, I will take you to the department to get familiar with the environment.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
Nan Wanwan smiled gently and crouched down in front of Nan Qiqi.
“You and Shi Yi must behave yourselves and not make Mommy worry.”
Nan Qiqi pouted and handed the file bag back to her.
“Mommy, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“It’s not your fault this time. Mommy was careless. Now Mommy has to go to work. Go back properly.”
Nan Qiqi nodded obediently, and under Nan Wanwan’s watchful gaze, she politely waved at the director beside her.
“Goodbye Mommy. Goodbye auntie.”
Chen Ke was already married but had no children yet. Seeing the soft and adorable Nan Qiqi, her heart completely melted.
As they took the elevator, she could not stop praising her.
“Wow, such a beautiful and polite little baby. Miss Doris, your genes are amazing.”
Nan Wanwan smiled lightly. As a single woman raising two children alone, she had encountered many people curious about her personal life, but someone focusing on something like this was rare.
“Thank you, you’re too kind. Just call me Wanwan. Children can be noisy sometimes, but that kind of trouble is actually sweet.”
Chen Ke nodded in agreement. The elevator soon reached their department, and she suddenly thought of someone, her expression turning troubled.
“Wanwan, there is something I must tell you. You need to be prepared.”
The two walked out side by side. Nan Wanwan turned her head slightly.
“What is it?”
“Everyone in Quanxi is eyeing the Chief Designer position. Most of them know their limits and don’t dare to compete too aggressively, but there is a tough one in Group A.”
Chen Ke hesitated, then leaned closer and whispered in her ear,
“A connected insider… I heard she is President Quan’s woman.”
