Tang Nannan was very grateful to Hu Jiasheng for saving her face in front of the entire company after such an embarrassing incident.
Now, not only did he not drive her away, but he had also thought of a way out for her. Tang Nannan was even more grateful.
Therefore, besides working hard and studying well to repay him, she couldn't think of any better way.
Everyone in the technical department was very reluctant to see Tang Nan leave and felt that quitting over such a small matter was making a mountain out of a molehill.
But Tang Nannan insisted on leaving and completed all the procedures in one morning.
It was idle at home too, so she searched for several educational institutions online and went directly for an interview as a piano teacher.
In the afternoon, around three o'clock, while waiting in the lobby of an educational institution, she ran into Mrs. Gao again.
"Nannan, it's working hours now, why are you here? Is your company cooperating with this institution?"
Tang Nannan considered Mrs. Gao to be an insider, someone who had watched her grow up, so she told her that she was no longer working at Grey Electric.
Mrs. Gao feigned surprise, helped scold the He family, and then invited her for coffee.
"It's really not easy for a girl like you to leave home and come so far to find a job. Why don't you go back to Sucheng?"
"I have some connections in Sucheng and can introduce you to a good job. Not only will the salary be higher than here, but you can also take care of your family. Isn't that better than being here?"
Tang Nannan had lived in Sucheng for so many years and naturally knew how difficult it was to get into the institution Mrs. Gao mentioned, and how considerable the salary would be if she got in.
But she couldn't agree.
Once she left Nancheng, she would never have a chance to see Hu Jiasheng again.
Compared to temporary happiness, she knew better what was more important to her.
"Thank you, Auntie, but I don't want to go back to Sucheng."
"What's wrong? Your younger brother is in such a condition that he can't be left alone, and besides..."
Seeing her troubled expression and her absentmindedness towards her advice, Mrs. Gao smiled.
"Is there something in Nancheng that you can't let go of! It's okay, you can tell Auntie."
"After all, Auntie watched you grow up, and you don't have any children around. I've always treated you like my own daughter. If you're willing, we can be as close as mother and daughter, and I can help you if you have any difficulties."
Tang Nannan told her the truth: the person she liked was here, so she didn't want to leave.
"Is that so? Is it one of the people from that group who went to Kangqiao Mountain Villa with you last time?"
Tang Nannan tacitly agreed.
"You have good taste. I saw that they were all talented young men, and Grey Electric is famous in Nancheng. Those who can get in must have good qualifications. Can you tell me which one it is?"
After all, it was a secret crush, so Tang Nannan naturally didn't dare to reveal Hu Jiasheng's name, and Mrs. Gao guessed on her own.
"My husband mentioned that he met some people from your company last time, and one of the bosses surnamed Hu left a deep impression on him."
"Not only is he handsome, but he also speaks and acts with great composure."
"Our Nannan has such good taste, she should pick the best. Is it him?"
Hearing Hu Jiasheng's name from someone else's mouth, and such high praise, Tang Nannan felt honored.
"Even Uncle Gao noticed him?"
Mrs. Gao smiled knowingly: "It really is him. I knew Nannan had good taste, but..."
Mrs. Gao smiled meaningfully.
"Nannan, people who are too outstanding are like beautiful clothes and designer bags; many people like them."
The light in Tang Nannan's eyes dimmed a little, "So, Auntie, what do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything else. It's not that I heard he's very fickle or that many girls are chasing him, it's just..."
The more she acted like this, the more Tang Nannan wanted to know what was going on with Hu Jiasheng.
"Auntie, do we still need to be so hesitant between us? Just say what you have to say."
Mrs. Gao told her the truth.
"As far as I know, this Mr. Hu has quite a background."
Hu Jiasheng was low-key. When he appeared in Sucheng, he was alone, worked on the front lines, took taxis, and lived in a low-end apartment complex. Tang Nannan thought he was just an ordinary technician.
Even when he returned to Nancheng, drove a Porsche, and lived in a high-end apartment, he was still alone and had a regular lifestyle.
Tang Nannan seemed to know him well. What kind of great background could he have?
Mrs. Gao explained, "Do you know about the Zhan Group in Nancheng?"
Tang Nannan knew. Probably everyone in the country knew.
The Zhan Group's combat capability and wealth ranked high nationally, and Grey Electric was a subsidiary of their group.
But what did this have to do with Hu Jiasheng?
"Hu Jiasheng's surname is actually Zhan. He was raised by the old master of the Zhan family. He had been recuperating abroad and only returned not long ago, so not many people in the country know him."
"The old master's health is declining day by day. The entire group can't rely solely on Zhan Beijue, so they are letting him gradually take over the company's business."
"He will be the crown prince who inherits the Zhan family business in the future. Your taste is truly high."
Tang Nannan was truly shocked.
Hu Jiasheng was actually the crown prince of the Zhan Group?
She didn't understand the affairs of wealthy families, but she had heard stories about illegitimate children being recognized by their fathers.
She never expected such a thing to happen to Hu Jiasheng.
Mrs. Gao continued, "Don't you think about it? He's so handsome, so capable, and so rich, why has he remained single and unwilling to find a partner?"
"Either he looks down on ordinary people, or he hasn't found the right opportunity to get married. When he's single and bored, he needs someone to accompany him, and maybe he'll look at you a few more times. But families like theirs are not for just anyone to marry into, so wanting to marry him..."
"Nannan, although in Auntie's eyes you've always been a child who hasn't grown up, in reality, you're not young anymore. The most important thing in a woman's life is to find a good home. Auntie can't bear to see you waste your time on the wrong person."
Tang Nannan's heart was in turmoil.
So, Hu Jiasheng's long-term single status and self-discipline weren't because he didn't like women or didn't intend to get married, but because he was waiting for someone truly suitable for him.
She didn't know whether to say she had good taste or was blind to fall for someone like this.
Every word Mrs. Gao said made sense and was for her own good.
But after thinking about it carefully, Tang Nannan felt unwilling.
He hadn't even told Hu Jiasheng that he liked him, and Hu Jiasheng had never treated her as a backup option. What was the point of her overthinking all this by herself?
"I understand, Auntie. Thank you for telling me so much. Let me think about it again."
Mrs. Gao very enthusiastically reminded her to call her if she made up her mind, and she could arrange her return to Sucheng at any time.
Tang Nannan returned to Hu Jiasheng's home with a heavy heart.
