Chapter 9 (1/2)

Chapter Nine: Career

Yun Nan didn’t know that the assistant director was filled with resentment for her; even if she did, she wouldn’t give it much thought. Everyone was so used to feeding off of her that they wouldn’t know what to do if she cut them off. But that was none of her concern, was it?

Yun Nan drove straight to an old suburb located in the outer ring of the central business district. Fang Xi achieved quite a feat, finding this quiet place in such a busy area with limited funds. She was extremely excited about it.

Yun Nan calculated her capital as she drove.

She had started a business with Fang Xi and her seniors since her university days and had accumulated some funds. Whereas in contrast, Yun Zhang had been pretending to be deaf and dumb to her contributions to the Yun Corporation for the past two years and didn’t fulfill their contract.

Yun Nan didn’t want to make a fuss originally about the money, but now that they had a falling out, she would take this opportunity to settle the score. She had a business to run, and that involved great expenses. She needed a large amount of initial investment to realize her and her friends’ ambitions.

Although it was called the suburb, it was actually an area filled with ancient buildings two or three floors tall. They can’t be demolished due to their historical value, so the landlord rented them out. The rent was considerably cheap for the location; the area was one street away from the city center’s bustling commercial district.

It was perfect for them.

The ancient house they rented had an independent courtyard; it was very spacious and could accommodate four to five cars.

Yun Nan studied the house closely. The three-story building had an archaic charm; although it was old, the structure was stylish and elegant. Fang Xi had an extraordinary taste.

“Yun Nan, come on up!” Fang Xi waved at her from a window on the second floor. The others clustered around the window, eager to see Yun Nan. They were all her best friends. They called out to her, one after the other.

“Hey, boss lady! You only show up when we’ve finished everything by ourselves, and reap the fruits of our labor. That’s not cool; you must treat us to a meal!”

“Boss, it’s not nice leaving all this work to us! What happened to ‘being together through thick and thin,’ hm?”

“I agree; Boss should treat us to a meal!”

Yun Nan’s mood immediately improved when she was greeted by their enthusiastic smiles.

Wealth didn’t just refer to money, but also to these dozen individuals who couldn’t be measured by money!

They had worked as a team since university, and although they each got a job after graduation, they didn’t lose contact. They would still gather together to discuss innovations and new ideas. When Fang Xi proposed they strike out and create a business of their own, the group hit it off.

If Yun Nan hadn’t wanted to repay the Yun family, the studio would have been established two years ago.

Yun Nan loudly declared, “Then, let’s have something good for lunch as a reward to my trusty troops!”

Someone hollered from upstairs, “Awesome! I’ll order food now! It’s a great way to celebrate the start of our studio!”

Following that, voices could be heard from various locations of the building, chiming out their owners’ preferred cuisine. The years the group spent together had honed a tacit understanding between them; just a word or a look was sufficient to get the point across.
