Chapter 207: Giving Chu Fangfei a Job

"Speaking of which, my brother is a Perfumer just like you, though his level is average and not as good as yours." Chu Fangfei laughed, her eyes filled with helplessness regarding her family.

"Is your brother named Chu Cheng?"

"Yes, do you know him?"

"I do."

Cheng Wan felt somewhat conflicted; she had met Chu Cheng while pursuing further studies, as they had the same teacher, and after some back-and-forth, the two became familiar, with Chu Cheng even helping her look after An'an.

This time when An'an returned, it was also Chu Cheng who helped bring her back.

To think he was actually Chu Yue's son.

Cheng Wan still wanted to ask about Chu Cheng, but when she turned her head, she discovered that Chu Fangfei was already drunk, leaning against the sofa.

Cheng Wan sighed, took the keys, and went to open the door.

Wen Lvzhong had been waiting at the doorway, and seeing her come out, he asked, "Is she asleep?"

"She's drunk." Cheng Wan stepped aside to let him in; she remembered Chu Fangfei saying that he had regained his memory and originally wanted to ask about it, but in the end, she didn't ask.

Regardless, that was all in the past.

She nodded and left.

Returning home, An'an was already asleep.

The nanny said softly, "When we were eating dinner, someone came to see An'an, and An'an called him Uncle Chu."

Cheng Wan narrowed her eyes. Chu Cheng?

"From now on, when I'm not home, no one is allowed to enter, not even people An'an knows."

"Understood, Miss Cheng."

It wasn't that Cheng Wan was overthinking; An'an's safety was the most important thing.

Cheng Wan accompanied her daughter to sleep.

The next day at the company entrance, she saw Chu Fangfei again.

Chu Fangfei was all smiles, showing none of the disheveled state from yesterday.

"Cheng Wan, is your company short on people?"

Cheng Wan didn't know why Chu Fangfei had latched onto her, even demanding a job.

The Chu Group was so large that she could easily find other work.

Or if she wanted to go to another company, she could also find suitable work with her abilities.

But she actually wanted to come here?

"We aren't." Cheng Wan refused decisively.

"Cheng Wan." Chu Fangfei blocked her path. "You can arrange any position for me, even a cleaner is fine, just let me have something to do."

"Chu Fangfei, you are now considered the eldest daughter of the Chu family, and you want to be a cleaner? Do you think I believe that?" Cheng Wan had a headache; she regretted paying attention to this woman yesterday.

"I want to follow you," Chu Fangfei said very firmly.

In all of Yuncheng, the only person she could think of was Cheng Wan; she couldn't say if they were friends or what, but in short, Chu Fangfei felt that Cheng Wan was a good person.

Cheng Wan didn't want to deal with her.

But Chu Fangfei followed her all the way into the office.

"Actually, I can do assistant work too." Chu Fangfei looked at the office environment; it was quite nice.

She liked it.

"Cheng Wan, are you short an assistant?"

Chu Fangfei leaned against the desk.

Cheng Wan rubbed her brow. "Chu Fangfei..."

She was just about to find an excuse to refuse her when her phone rang at the right moment, interrupting her words.

It was a call from Wen Lvzhong.

Cheng Wan answered.

Wen Lvzhong asked, "Is Chu Fangfei with you?"

"Yes."

"If she wants to work there, arrange it for her."

Cheng Wan had no way to refuse Wen Lvzhong. "Understood."

She hung up the phone and agreed to Chu Fangfei.

Chu Fangfei clapped her hands. "Then I'll be in your care from now on, President Cheng."

Cheng Wan called Xiao Yu in to arrange Chu Fangfei's work.

Once the person left, she called Wen Lvzhong back.

"What is it?"

Wen Lvzhong said coldly, "I suspect Qin Xingwan's death is related to Chu Yue. Keep Chu Fangfei by your side and observe her."

Cheng Wan understood.

"So you marrying Chu Fangfei was aimed at this matter?"

"Yes."

"Wen Lvzhong, why must you..." Cheng Wan didn't quite know how to put it.

The price was too high.

Wen Lvzhong's voice was very deep. "Cheng Wan, this is my own choice; you don't need to take it to heart."

"But..."

"I suspect she came to find you because of the Perfume Notes, so be careful."

Cheng Wan hung up the phone, her gaze cold.

Perfume Notes?

She remembered Fang Yiwen mentioning that her master, Wen Suxue, had a volume of Perfume Notes that recorded the perfume formulas she had concocted throughout her life.

It was just that she had never seen those notes from beginning to end.

Moreover, the matter from three years ago...

Whenever Cheng Wan thought of that matter, her heart ached.

Her eyes turned slightly cold.

Wen Lvzhong's words explained very well why Chu Fangfei had suddenly become clingy toward her.

Perhaps she should be prepared.

Having made up her mind, Cheng Wan found Xiao Yu. She had her arrange for Chu Fangfei to be her personal assistant and also instructed her to keep an eye on Chu Fangfei in secret.

Xiao Yu understood immediately, "Rest assured."

During this period, it wasn't as if no one had designs on the perfume formulas.

Chu Fangfei was very happy and promised, "Don't worry, by using me, you are absolutely getting more than your money's worth."

Cheng Wan knew of Chu Fangfei's capabilities; her professional competence was very strong.

It was just that her motives were impure.

In the evening, Cheng Wan took Chu Fangfei out to socialize.

A circle of men in the private room were making lewd jokes, and even started making jokes about Cheng Wan, egging her on to drink a cross-cupped wine with the man beside her.

Cheng Wan smiled and gracefully picked up her wine glass.

It was just a different form of drinking; Cheng Wan was open-minded about it.

Chu Fangfei wanted to help block the drink, but was stopped by Cheng Wan.

"It's fine, I was supposed to toast President Li anyway; I wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future."

President Li was very smug; he held his wine, thinking to himself that this President Cheng was young, yet very sensible.

He couldn't wait to drink this glass of wine.

But just as the glass touched his lips, the private room door was pushed open, and all the lights in the room were turned on.

The glare of the lights caused the ambiguous atmosphere to dissipate immediately.

Someone had already stood up, "President Chu."

Then everyone stood up, one after another greeting the person who had arrived, "President Chu."

Cheng Wan had already pulled her wine glass back; she glanced at Chu Fangfei.

Chu Fangfei hurriedly said, "It wasn't me."

Chu Li's gaze swept lightly over Cheng Wan without lingering, "I heard President Li was here, so I came to take a look."

President Li was flattered.

He had always wanted to get involved with the Chu Group's perfume line but had no connections, which was why he had chosen Cheng Wan.

He hadn't expected Chu Li to come in person.

He was very excited.

"President Chu, please sit."

Chu Li looked around at the seats and sat down between President Li and Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan sat back down with a calm expression; she knew that today's cooperation would likely fall through.

However, leaving now would make her seem petty, so she sat there patiently, intending to wait a few minutes before leaving.

President Li inquired about collaborating with the Chu Group.

Chu Li picked up his wine glass, his voice cold, "I heard that to cooperate with President Li, one must drink cross-cupped wine?"

President Li's face turned deathly pale, "That's not the case, that's not the case."

He secretly observed Cheng Wan's expression.

He suddenly remembered the relationship between Chu Li and Cheng Wan, only he had thought they were divorced... and thought Cheng Wan was easy to bully.

He took the initiative to apologize to Cheng Wan, "President Cheng, I had too much to drink just now; you are a magnanimous person, please don't blame me."

He finished the wine in his hand in one gulp.

Cheng Wan raised her glass and took a sip.

She didn't take this matter to heart.

This was the business world; as a woman, she would receive no special treatment, only more embarrassment.

As long as it wasn't a matter of principle, she could ignore it.
