Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 216 Mr. Gu, I've arrived!

Jiang Xing's parents' funeral was kept simple.

Wen Yan was unaware of what happened next; she was not invited to the funeral, and Jiang Xing only invited a few close relatives.

Wen Yan was worried and secretly went to the funeral home to see Jiang Xing. She could only see Jiang Xing kneeling in front of two ice coffins side by side, his back to the entrance, his back view sad.

"What exactly happened? What did the senior's mother mean by those words before she jumped off the building?" Wen Yan was completely baffled.

Gu Yanci wasn't interested in this and didn't investigate. Seeing Wen Yan's interest, he said, "I'll ask Lou Qi."

Wen Yan: "..."

I don't want Lou Qi to know at all!

However, even when Gu Yanci asked, Lou Qi didn't know either.

The only certainty is that Jiang's mother jumped off the building in the afternoon, but went to buy groceries as usual in the morning, indicating that she did not have suicidal thoughts in the morning.

As for what exactly happened, nobody knows.

Wen Yan saw Jiang Xing again a week later, when Jiang Xing went for an interview at Gu's Group.

Jiang Xing's own abilities were also outstanding, and she quickly passed the HR and professional interviews, earning high praise from the legal director. Considering that Zhou Qi had personally invited her, Gu Yanci served as the interviewer for the final comprehensive interview.

When Wen Yan met Jiang Xing, Zhou Qi was taking Jiang Xing to a job interview.

Unlike the casual clothes she usually wears at school, Jiang Xing wore a very professional and capable suit skirt today, giving people the impression of a smart elite at first glance.

This intellectual and beautiful appearance is perfect for a career as a lawyer; she's a natural at negotiating.

Wen Yan observed Jiang Xing. Although her eyes lacked luster, she was still quite energetic.

"Senior, you don't actually need to start working here so soon," Wen Yan said tactfully.

Jiang Xing smiled politely: "Yan Yan, I know what I'm doing, and I know what I need that for. Thank you."

Since it was an interview, Wen Yan didn't go into the president's office, but instead sunbathed in the reception room outside.

Inside the CEO's office.

Gu Yanci knew that the person who came in was Jiang Xing. Two minutes later, after reading the documents in his hand, he looked up.

“Mr. Gu, I’m here to report for duty,” Jiang Xing said proactively.

Gu Yanci nodded. He had already conducted a thorough investigation of Jiang Xing when he sent Jiang Xing to be Wen Yan's roommate and cook. He was very clear about Jiang Xing's professional abilities and personal character.

"You have one minute to ask a question." Gu Yanci glanced at his watch.

Jiang Xing had no questions to ask. She bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Gu, thank you for your help with my father's matter! I will always be at your service from now on!"

Although the final result was not satisfactory, Gu Yanci's help was genuine.

If it weren't for that unexpected incident, her father would have returned home safely by now, her mother would still be alive, and the three of them would still be together...

"You should thank Wen Yan." Gu Yanci was never a kind-hearted person—but his wife was.

Jiang Xing paused for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean."

The advantage of communication between smart people is that they don't need to be very direct.

……

Wen Yan hadn't finished her glass of water when Jiang Xing came out of the office.

"So fast? Did he make things difficult for you?" Wen Yan asked with concern.

Jiang Xing felt a warmth in her heart. Looking at this junior who genuinely cared about her, she suppressed a smile and said, "No, Yan Yan, Mr. Gu is a nice person."

Wen Yan gave her a look that said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You'll know how difficult he is to serve once you become his subordinate!"

Jiang Xing smiled faintly and remained silent.

However, the person she was truly meant to serve was Wen Yan, a kind and gentle boss.

It was a stroke of good fortune for her.
