Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Miss Nie Is the General Manager’s Love Interest
Yang Min gave Gu Yan five pieces of music from which she could choose any two pieces to focus on practicing, and during the assessment, she only needed to play two pieces.
Gu Yan chose a relatively gentle and quiet "Kiss the Rain" and a Chopin nocturne.
She had listened to these two pieces countless times before and had downloaded the sheet music online to study, but when she physically held the sheet music in her hands, she still felt very excited, handling every move carefully, afraid of damaging it even a little, which would break her heart.
She was very serious about memorizing the sheet music, not wanting to make any mistakes.
Tang Yuxiu gave her this opportunity, and she wanted to do her best. She didn’t want anyone to think Tang Yuxiu was poor at judging people, nor did she want to waste such a good opportunity.
The most important thing was she didn’t want people whispering behind her back that she only got in through the backdoor. Although she had no professional training, she believed that persistent effort would yield results. Sooner or later, she would prove to everyone at the company that she could stay legitimately without relying on Tang Yuxiu’s help!
She finally got a step closer to her dream, and she wanted to keep moving forward on this path.
That’s human nature. When you don’t have it, when you can’t get it, you miss it terribly but restrain yourself. Once you taste a bit of sweetness, you never want to give it up.
At noon, Wang Qi took Gu Yan to the staff cafeteria for lunch. The two sat by the window, and Wang Qi introduced the glorious history of the Tang Group to her, which Gu Yan listened to with great interest.
However, there were always some discordant comments that reached her ears.
"Hey, that’s the newcomer Assistant You personally took to the entertainment department yesterday."
"Not just that, I heard from the receptionists yesterday that there was a woman who went to see the general manager without an appointment, and more shockingly, the general manager personally allowed her in. It seems to be her."
After hearing this, others crowded around, "Who else could it be? She went to see the general manager that day, and then Assistant You personally took her to the entertainment department."
"Saying that, she must have a close relationship with the general manager."
"Who knows, we’ve never seen her before or heard of her."
"If she’s the girlfriend, that’s unlikely. I heard Miss Nie is the general manager’s girlfriend."
"Yes, yes. I also heard from above that at the end of the month, during the gala when the general manager takes office as president, the chairman will announce the date of their engagement."
"Really?"
The topic unconsciously drifted further. Gu Yan felt a sense of relief, yet an inexplicable discomfort rose in her heart.
Miss Nie?
Was it Nie Rong, the one she met last time?
Is Tang Yuxiu really going to be engaged to her?
Why didn’t he make it clear last time?
Countless questions swirled in her mind, tangled into a ball, making her restless.
Wang Qi noticed her complexion didn’t look good and thought she felt bad because of the gossip; she tried to comfort her, "Don’t mind what they say, they’re just women gossiping, if you take it seriously, you’re the one who’ll suffer."
Gu Yan smiled at her, "It’s okay, I don’t mind."
She lowered her head and quietly ate her meal, and Wang Qi sensed that her mood was not as high-spirited as before, further believing she was affected by the gossip behind her back.
In fact, Gu Yan didn’t care about their discussions about her. Honestly, she had nothing to mind.
What she minded was...
She herself couldn’t even tell clearly, just felt that her heart felt somewhat uncomfortable.
