Ex-Girlfriend Strategy (GL) - Chapter 46

In the workplace, Shu Nanxuan’s attitude toward her finally softened a bit.

At least it wasn’t the dismissive coldness from the morning, and their communication on the details went very smoothly.

The negotiations were also very successful.

In just one day, all the details were finalized, and the contract was signed on the spot.

As Shu Nanxuan put down her pen after signing the contract, she curved her lips slightly, her heart settling.

“President Xu, I hope our future cooperation goes smoothly. How about I treat everyone to dinner tonight?”

In this collaboration between the two companies, Shu Nanxuan’s side was technically the second party, so it was normal for her to offer to treat and build good relations.

Even though they were on the other party’s turf.

“President Shu, you’re too kind! On my old Xu’s turf, how could I let you treat? I’ve already reserved the food and drinks. Tonight, we won’t go home until we’re drunk!”

President Xu laughed heartily, clearly pleased with the collaboration.

He extended his right hand, gripping Shu Nanxuan’s hand firmly and shaking it vigorously, speaking in a bold tone.

He was a boisterous man, his voice booming when he spoke.

Shu Nanxuan smiled and returned the firm handshake.

“Then thank you for your hospitality, President Xu. Tonight, we won’t go home until we’re drunk.”

The group filed out of the meeting room like a school of fish, heading to the hotel together.

Yang Jiu stayed by Shu Nanxuan’s side the whole time.

After the contract was finalized, she had little presence and only needed to follow Shu Nanxuan.

The relief from the tension of work brought back thoughts of last night’s conversation.

Honestly, she felt uneasy.

Last night, Shu Nanxuan hadn’t said anything to clarify her stance, and today’s attitude toward her offered no hope.

President Xu had reserved a private room with two dining tables.

Once inside, everyone naturally sat according to their positions—those with higher ranks sat with the bosses, while those with lower ranks sat at the other table.

Yang Jiu had been following Shu Nanxuan, but her position didn’t allow her to sit next to her. She had to take her rightful place.

With the contract signed, everyone was in high spirits, full of expectations for the collaboration.

The meal was lively, and after eating and drinking their fill, both sides gradually dispersed.

Shu Nanxuan had drunk a bit too much, but she maintained a calm exterior.

Once she got into the car, though, she couldn’t hold it together.

Her head spun badly.

After telling the driver to start, she leaned back in the seat, closing her eyes to ease the discomfort.

Business was like that.

Even after a deal was made, a lot of superficial effort was needed to maintain good relations.

It wasn’t enough to just fulfill the contract.

In situations with similar conditions, relationships often made the difference.

Such social engagements were common for her, and she was used to them.

The driver drove smoothly, and Shu Nanxuan, eyes closed, was so dizzy she nearly fell asleep.

But when the car stopped, she jolted awake.

She let out a long breath, shook her head vigorously to clear her mind, and pushed the car door open to get out.

When Shu Nanxuan returned to her room, Yang Jiu wasn’t there yet.

Yang Jiu was with the others and hadn’t returned as quickly.

Shu Nanxuan poured herself a glass of warm water and stood on the balcony, sipping slowly.

Now, she finally had time to be still.

Last night, she was in a state of unrest, unable to think clearly.

Today’s negotiations demanded absolute focus, so she had to push aside all unnecessary thoughts.

Was she angry? Of course she was.

No one wouldn’t be angry after being broken up with for such a reason.

Yang Jiu was practically a jerk.

She thought she’d been good enough to her, but Yang Jiu was heartless.

All her kindness had been fed to the dogs.

But besides anger, what else was there?

There was unwillingness.

She’d held onto this for five years, never letting go.

The person in her heart was still that same person.

Now that she finally had her back, how could she let go?

Lost in her chaotic thoughts, the door made a ding-ling sound—the sound of a keycard—followed by a click as it was opened.
