Leng Xunze shook his head.
This action was akin to casting her from heaven into hell.
Wen Yan forced a bitter smile, wanting to break free from his embrace, but the man held her tight: "But since I've decided you are my wife, I will not betray you."
"What's the point of saying this now? You've already betrayed me."
"She and I are not what you think. You've misunderstood. She's just a friend."
Wen Yan frowned slightly, not entirely convinced: "Then how did you get hurt?"
"I was injured by one of her persistent suitors. She promised to pay me a hundred thousand yuan after the job was done. So I agreed."
Leng Xunze said with a straight face, taking out a card: "Take this, it's for household expenses."
Wen Yan was handed the bank card, still somewhat dazed.
Seeing Wen Yan's expression, Leng Xunze felt a slight helplessness.
There were some things he couldn't tell her yet.
For example, he wasn't actually the young master of a branch family of the Leng family, but the legitimate son of the Leng family in the capital.
And this time, it wasn't about saving a damsel in distress. It was because the holdouts in the real estate project had suddenly revolted under his brother's instructions. He was indeed injured while saving that woman, but that woman was merely one of his subordinates.
He had more important matters for her to handle.
As for himself, a few days of rest would suffice.
"Everything I've done is to improve our household finances, and also to pay my brother's medical bills. You won't refuse, will you?" The man's deep voice held a hint of seduction.
Wen Yan looked at him, her gaze seemingly very gentle.
Yet, her eyes grew redder.
"I believe you!" Wen Yan hugged him, tears streaming down: "But you're not allowed to do such risky things anymore. If something happens to you, what will I do?"
"Then wouldn't you just find a rich second-generation to be with?"
"I don't want to," the girl sobbed.
Leng Xunze's heart softened.
Wen Yan: "I want to find a young stud."
The man's face immediately darkened. He couldn't explain why he suddenly felt a pang of annoyance. He pushed her off him: "Say that again."
Seeing him angry, Wen Yan broke into a tearful smile: "Just kidding, nothing will happen to you. Although I'm not very capable, I'll do my best to improve myself. We will definitely have a very happy life one day."
She looked at him softly: "You don't need to go to the construction site these days. You'll just be a hindrance. Stay home and rest. I still have some savings, and I'll be getting my commission soon. I'll support you!"
It was the first time someone had said to him, "I'll support you."
Leng Xunze's sexy lips curved into a faint smile: "Do you know how much it costs to support me?"
"I'll earn as much as you spend," Wen Yan tapped his forehead. "Do you think we're still living the life of a rich young master?"
Leng Xunze: "..." This girl...
However, he found her bossy little demeanor very endearing!
Wen Yan instructed him to rest well at home, promising to order takeout for him at noon, and then left for work.
Xinghua Company.
"You've all been in training at the company for nearly a week. You've learned most of what you need to. Next, we'll move on to practical training."
In the morning, the interns gathered in the conference room for a meeting. The deputy director addressed them: "To cultivate your initiative and teamwork, the six of you interns will be divided into two groups. I will read out the list."
Everyone tensed slightly, exchanging glances.
They weren't very familiar with each other, but they all hoped to be grouped with strong individuals so they could learn more.
"Group One: Zhang Zhikun, Yang Qian, Wen Yan. Group Two: Luo Ziyu, Liu Huanhuan, Wan Zhihua."
Everyone's expressions varied.
"I have several public tenders and tasks here. You can all come to me. You can also take on tasks independently. After one week, I will check everyone's completion. The best performing individual and group will receive a bonus. Meeting adjourned!"
As soon as the deputy director left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief but then looked at Liu Huanhuan and the others.
Yang Qian: "I don't think this grouping is fair. Liu Huanhuan, Wan Zhihua, you two are so capable. Being in the same group, won't you just crush us?"
Liu Huanhuan and Zhang Zhihua were both returnees from overseas and had some online fame, making them the most eye-catching among the interns.
Liu Huanhuan smiled, humbly saying, "I'm just starting out and unfamiliar with everything. Let's all work hard together and communicate if anything comes up."
Luo Ziyu said, "Qianqian, I think you guys are quite lucky too, to be grouped with Wen Yan. Wen Yan is the youngest intern in our company, she must be exceptionally skilled."
At these words, everyone fell silent.
Their gazes towards Wen Yan were varied.
Some had previously thought Wen Yan got in through connections with Qiao Nan.
But after the "Eternal Heart" incident, everyone leaned more towards the idea that Wen Yan must have some background.
Yang Qian grumbled discontentedly, "Someone who got in through the back door, what's so great about her..."
"Alright, we are all interns at Xinghua, and it's fate that brought us together. Let's all work hard. I look forward to achieving great things together." Zhang Zhikun interrupted Yang Qian.
Everyone nodded and dispersed.
Upon returning to their seats, they all began frantically sifting through tasks.
Wen Yan was no exception.
She looked at the tasks for a long time but found none that appealed to her.
Either they were too difficult, or the requirements were too high.
Just as she was about to give up and look for tasks on her own, she suddenly noticed a tender for uniform design.
Anta Company was seeking a designer to create employee uniforms, with requirements for them to be elegant and attractive.
Anta Company was a very famous shipping company, specializing in the production of sails. Many luxury cruise ships in the country came from their company. They had over a thousand employees, and if this deal went through, the profit would be at least six figures.
Time flew by until dusk.
The designers had all left, leaving only the interns.
"I'm exhausted. I spent the whole day choosing, and I've finally made my selection. Sigh, this task feels so difficult. Can I really complete it?" Yang Qian yawned, then turned to Wen Yan, "Wen Yan, have you chosen?"
Before Wen Yan could answer, Luo Ziyu had already sidled up to her.
Upon seeing the information on the computer screen, she was shocked: "Wen Yan, this couldn't possibly be what you chose, right?"
Yang Qian's curiosity was piqued, "What is it?"
As she spoke, she hurried over and stood beside Wen Yan. Seeing the computer screen, she was equally shocked.
"Wen Yan, are you crazy? Even our company's designers can't guarantee they can win this project."
"The deputy director said we should try more. How will we know if we don't try?" Wen Yan said calmly.
Yang Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes: "But Sister Fang didn't tell us to overestimate ourselves."
Luo Ziyu couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, Qianqian, don't dampen Wen Yan's spirits. I think Wen Yan is right. We'll only know if we try."
Yang Qian looked speechless, "If you were choosing any other project, I wouldn't bother, but this is about our group's honor, and it will add points to our internship. What if our group loses because of you?"
