Chapter 506: Chapter 503: The Big Boss
Feng Nuo was well aware that her little secrets could never be hidden from He Qianhui.
Since she had already poked through this layer of paper, she admitted it.
"Xiaohui, can’t you let me have some little secrets in front of you? You really are something."
He Qianhui burst into laughter, "Since that’s the case, I’ll have an easier time picking out clothes for you. But does he know you feel this way?"
He Qianhui hadn’t inquired about Feng Nuo’s romantic life for a long time and was worried about her.
Who knew Feng Nuo would sigh and say, "We broke up a long time ago. I knew from the start that we were never meant to be."
He Qianhui was surprised, "You really broke up? Then what was the reason you couldn’t continue?"
Had He Qianhui not asked, Feng Nuo would not have wanted to bring up the matter.
But now that she was asked, why not just consider her someone to confide in?
"Xiaohui, don’t think that I’m using you as a confidant, I’ve actually been wanting to tell you about this."
"It’s just that I’ve never really thought it through, after all, he is a successful person, and I’m just a Cinderella from a small place."
"But even a real Cinderella, if you take ten thousand steps back, is still a princess, whereas no matter what, I am just a girl from a common family, not from the same world as him."
Li Wenli knew very well that Feng Nuo wasn’t the type of girl who aimed too high.
Moreover, saying such a thing further proved she wasn’t one to do anything for money.
"It must have been tough for you, but being with him for so long, you must have gotten something out of it. I’ve heard that men with big noses, that part of them, is really quite something."
As soon as He Qianhui said this, Feng Nuo quickly changed the subject, "Xiaohui, what are you talking about?"
He Qianhui chuckled, "Don’t think I don’t know, when the silver bracelet on your wrist got replaced with a gold bangle, I knew then; did that person give you a hefty breakup fee or not?"
Feng Nuo didn’t deny it, "Originally, I didn’t want it, but then one day he just transferred the money."
"He also said that he never felt true love could be thwarted by other things, but after being with me, he realized that just love is not enough for two people to be together."
"Besides, from the beginning, I was not optimistic about us being together, I kept stressing to him the impossibility."
"He felt that if it weren’t for his insistence on trying, maybe we wouldn’t have ended up this way."
"So, to compensate for the time and effort I wasted, and for being with him, he transferred me a hundred thousand yuan."
"For someone with my not-so-outstanding work capability, it’s indeed a substantial amount."
"I did think about returning the money, but then I figured he wouldn’t miss it, so I kept it."
"But what I didn’t expect was that after we split up, my work performance seemed to improve."
"Sometimes, even when I felt sure a deal wouldn’t be signed, things would always take a turn for the better."
"Later, I suspected he might be helping me from behind. But even with his help, I couldn’t just not improve at all."
"After negotiating with clients a few times, I finally understood how to close a deal."
Halfway through speaking, Feng Nuo looked at He Qianhui’s expression and tentatively said.
"Xiaohui, I know you weren’t that willing to take me out to negotiate deals before."
"You did it without complaint, and I’m truly grateful. If it wasn’t for you being willing to help me back then."
"I might have been unemployed by now. You’re my only friend here."
He Qianhui quickly denied, "I’m not as bad as you think. I just feel everyone is out to make money, and making money is hard, if I can assist, I’ll assist."
"No one wants to be busy all day and end up with nothing. Plus, you are a few years younger than me, and seeing you striving in your career really impresses me."
"Actually, back then, I was a bit worried too, what if the business deal fell through? I guess I’ve just been lucky, everything I wish for tends to come true."
"I have never looked down on you, so don’t you go putting words in my mouth, got it?"
"Hurry up and pick an outfit, I’m starving. Today, you’re treating me to a big meal, little miss wealthy."
Somehow, Feng Nuo’s tears started to well up, and even her eye sockets felt sour.
"Xiaohui, it’s my fault. I misunderstood you, please don’t be mad at me."
At that moment, He Qianhui pretended to be angry, ignoring whatever Feng Nuo did to act cute.
Feng Nuo knew she was just joking.
"I was actually planning to take you out for barbecue. I’ve already bought the coupons, and they say it’s Wagyu. Looks like someone’s mad at me and doesn’t want to go anymore. What a waste."
As soon as she heard there was barbecue, He Qianhui quickly backed down.
"For the sake of this meal, I’ll forgive you. But if you think like that again, I’ll really get mad," she said.
Feng Nuo chuckled, "I knew Xiaohui wouldn’t stay mad at me. Let’s go eat, I know you’re hungry."
Arriving at the barbecue restaurant, Feng Nuo picked a nice spot.
She took the initiative to pass the menu to He Qianhui.
Letting her decide what to order for dinner tonight.
He Qianhui glanced at the menu and ended up choosing a value set meal.
According to her, the set meal provided a variety of items to enjoy.
Since it was up to He Qianhui to choose and Feng Nuo to pay, ultimately, what they would have was still Qianhui’s decision.
"Are you sure this is it?" Feng Nuo confirmed.
"Let’s go with this, the set meal seems like a good deal, and it includes a wide variety of items," she replied.
Feng Nuo squinted her eyes: "Xiaohui, are you trying to save money for me?"
"You were just teasing me for being a little rich girl, so why are you trying to save money for me now?"
He Qianhui laughed: "Your money doesn’t come from thin air, does it? What’s wrong with spending it wisely?"
Feng Nuo couldn’t help it: "You’re really good to me, Xiaohui. You know I don’t earn money easily and even want me to spend it sparingly. If you were a man, I would definitely chase after you."
He Qianhui touched her own cheek and said with self-pity, "Too bad I’m a woman. Your idea will have to wait until the next lifetime to come true."
Feng Nuo sighed upon hearing this: "Why can’t such good things happen to me? I’m really envying Doctor Zhang right now."
"To find you in the vast sea of people, how can it not be considered lucky? And Xiaohui, you’re a good person too."
As they were talking, Feng Nuo’s phone suddenly rang.
He Qianhui signaled to answer quickly, so as not to delay any important matter.
Feng Nuo looked at her phone and said, "It’s my mom calling, probably about setting me up with another date."
As expected, once she answered the call, the voice of a middle-aged woman came through.
"Xiao Nuo, where are you now? Why is it so noisy around you?"
"I’m having dinner with a colleague. What’s up?"
"Your auntie recently met a nice boy that she wants to introduce to you."
"Send me a couple of pictures of you to show him; he owns a big company and earns tens of thousands a month."
