266: Chapter 266 Job Transfer

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shen Ya suppressed her sleepiness and replied, "I'm not sleepy yet..."

Shen Yan took her word for it, nodded, and said to her, "Take care of your health, you should rest early."

After saying that, he intended to head into his bedroom to sleep.

Seeing him really about to go back to rest, Shen Ya grew anxious. She sprang up from the sofa and said, "Did you forget something?!"

Shen Yan turned around, asking with a puzzled face, "What did I forget?"

Shen Ya: "...Aren't you going to ask me what company I'm going to interview with next?"

Shen Yan became even more confused.

"Didn't you say you don't like me asking about these things?"

Shen Ya: "...Fine, if you're not going to ask, then don't!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

She turned off the TV and went straight back to her bedroom, slamming the door with a thunderous bang.

Shen Yan: "..."

Wasn't it Shen Ya who told him not to meddle in this and that, calling him out for double standards?

Why was she unhappy now that he had stopped meddling?

Indeed, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

He sighed with emotion as he opened his bedroom door to go to sleep.

————

The next day at noon.

Shen Yan pushed open the restaurant door and found Wu Ya already waiting for him in the private room.

"How come you're here so early?"

Shen Yan had arrived fifteen minutes early, yet Wu Ya was even earlier than him.

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Wu Ya smiled and replied, "It's rare for you to treat me to a meal, so of course I had to come early."

Shen Yan blinked, feeling quite misunderstood.

"Is it really that rare for me to treat you to a meal?"

Wu Ya gave a sly smile.

"It's rare for you to treat me to a meal alone."

Shen Yan was speechless.

Seeing him standing there in silence, Wu Ya picked up the menu and beckoned him, "Don't just stand there like a fool, come over and order."

Shen Yan nodded, walked over, and sat down opposite her.

After the two ordered a few home-style dishes, Wu Ya asked Shen Yan, "Did you suddenly ask me out for a meal because of your sister?"

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not entirely because of that."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of hot tea for Wu Ya.

"But regarding my sister, I really owe it to you. If it weren't for you, my sister and I would probably still be arguing."

Hearing this, Wu Ya's eyes lit up.

"You've already talked? You're not fighting anymore?"

Shen Yan: "Uh... I think I made my sister angry again yesterday."

Wu Ya's mouth dropped open.

"Ah? Why?"

Shen Yan scratched his head and replied, "I don't know. She suddenly asked why I didn't ask where she was working, but she was the one who said I meddled too much."

"Forget it, she's always been one to act on whims. Let's not talk about her."

Wu Ya hummed in agreement and asked, "Then besides your sister's matter, why did you look for me?"

Shen Yan hesitated and replied, "You should know about what happened at the Branch Company recently, right?"

Of course, Wu Ya knew.

She was the one who had reported it to Chen Guangke.

"I know. It's not actually a big deal, just some issues with the Personnel Structure."

"How do you plan to solve it?"

Shen Yan looked at Wu Ya without speaking.

Wu Ya blushed slightly under his gaze.

"Why are you staring at me? You're not planning to ask for my opinion, are you?"

Shen Yan nodded in silence.

Wu Ya thought for a moment and replied, "If it were me, I might find someone familiar with Personnel Structures to be the general manager of the Branch Company."

Clearly, Chen Guangke and Wu Ya's ideas coincided.

Both of them felt that it would be enough to find someone familiar with Personnel Structures to serve as the general manager of the Branch Company.

"Actually, my idea is to find someone who has previously worked at the company to manage the Branch Company."

Shen Yan voiced his thoughts.

Wu Ya hadn't yet realized that she was the person Shen Yan was referring to. She nodded in agreement, "Sure, that would be even simpler and more convenient."

As soon as she finished speaking.

Shen Yan was silent for a few seconds before saying to Wu Ya, "I want you to go and manage the Branch Company."

Once these words were spoken.

Wu Ya's soup spoon instantly clattered against the bowl and chopsticks.

"Clang!"

After a few seconds of daze, Wu Ya's eyes reddened as she asked Shen Yan, "Why me?"

Shen Yan explained to Wu Ya exactly what he had said to Chen Guangke.

"Then can't you let Chen Guangke go? He's also worked at the Branch Company; the three of us are a team!"

Shen Yan said helplessly, "He's just a technical guy; he doesn't understand anything about Personnel Structures at all. If he did, I would definitely send him."

Wu Ya fell silent.

Although she knew Shen Yan was telling the truth, she was unwilling to accept this fact.

To put it bluntly, she just didn't want to leave Shen Yan.

She had already made up her mind previously: since she couldn't be Shen Yan's girlfriend, she would be his most important work partner and stay by his side forever.

Now that Shen Yan was about to strip away her last shred of hope, how could she possibly agree?

Seeing Wu Ya's red eyes and silence, Shen Yan softened a bit. He slowed his voice and said to her, "The company structure of the Branch Company isn't large; you can handle it in six months at most. Once you're done, you can come back whenever you want."

As he finished speaking.

The tears in Wu Ya's eyes finally fell.

Wiping away her tears, she said to Shen Yan, "But I just don't want to leave Fuchen..." and you.

She didn't dare say those last two words.

She was afraid that if she said them, Shen Yan would become even more resolute.

"But currently, besides you, I don't have a more suitable candidate."

"Old Chen's idea is the same as yours—you both think finding someone familiar with Personnel Structures to be the general manager of the Branch Company is enough."

"But... I'm afraid those people won't handle it well, and the situation at the Branch Company will become even messier. To be honest, the people I trust most in the company are only you and Old Chen."

"Old Chen can't do this, so I can only pin my hopes on you. I... If you're really unwilling, then forget it."

Shen Yan was being sincere.

He didn't want to force Wu Ya.

After all, Wu Ya was a very important help in his comeback.

If Wu Ya really didn't want to go, he could think of another way.

"...Am I really the most suitable candidate?"

Suddenly, Wu Ya asked this with red eyes.

Looking at Wu Ya's tearful eyes, Shen Yan nodded and replied, "In my heart, you are the most suitable candidate."

So cunning!

Wu Ya complained in her heart.

She had originally been determined never to agree to Shen Yan's request, but hearing that he truly needed her, she couldn't help but soften.

"Okay."

Hearing her answer, Shen Yan was a bit surprised.

You should know that just a moment ago, Wu Ya looked like she would resist to the death; how was she suddenly persuaded now?

Just as he was feeling confused, Wu Ya suddenly muttered in a low voice.

"If I had known that the meal you treated me to would come at such a high price, I wouldn't have come."
