Chapter 2230 Admonition, Longing
Looking at her daughter, Jiang Yun said that everyone says being a single mother is tiring, but she never felt that way because her daughter was really considerate. She had never caused her any trouble since she was little and had always been well-behaved and obedient. She was very easy to take care of, so her daughter had always been her pride.

“Xiguang, although Mom is not working now, as someone who has been through it, I still want to tell you that women should have their own careers and not completely depend on men.”

She was once a well-known career woman, but after her divorce, she gave up her job and stopped thinking about work, focusing instead on being a good stay-at-home woman.

But after all these years, looking back, she still feels that women should have their own careers. While being a good wife and mother is also good, she doesn't think it's suitable for her daughter.

She knew that Nie Xiguang might seem lazy, but he was actually very capable. She didn't want her daughter to become a woman dependent on a man. She hoped that Nie Xiguang could develop her career, especially now that she had just graduated, choosing a job was even more important.

“I know you’re interested in working in Shanghai. As for this young man, Zhou Chen, I actually had someone look into him while you were studying in Europe.”

"Huh? Mom, you investigated Zhou Chen?" Nie Xiguang's voice suddenly rose.

“It’s not an investigation, it’s just asking around to find out more. You keep him in mind, and your uncle’s family thinks highly of him. Your mother was also a little curious, so she asked around among people she knew.”

Although Nie Xiguang felt that this was wrong, she also knew that her mother cared about her and just did not approve of this approach.

"Oh, so what did you find out?"

Jiang Yun could see right through Nie Xiguang's little scheme.

"I've heard some things about him, and he is indeed a very outstanding young man."

Thinking about the information she had gathered about Zhou Chen, Jiang Yun couldn't help but marvel. She had seen many outstanding young people. Nie Xiguang's father, Nie Chengyuan, was an exceptionally talented young man back then, but at roughly the same age, Nie Chengyuan was far inferior to Zhou Chen.

"It is precisely because he is so outstanding that I told you to have your own career. If you have your own career, you will not feel pressured when you stand by his side. I think that a woman who relies on a man for everything will have a lot of pressure in her life, and I don't want you to become that kind of person."

Nie Xiguang said seriously, "Mom, don't worry, I won't become that kind of person. Although I'm usually lazy, I will never give up my own career."

Jiang Yun gently stroked Nie Xiguang's long hair again with a smile: "My daughter has really grown up. She no longer needs her mother to remind her. I am so happy."

“If you want to work in Shanghai, Mom won’t stop you, as long as you can keep that mindset. However, Mom’s suggestion is that you could first go to Shuangyuan Photovoltaic Technology in Suzhou to gain experience. Suzhou is not far from Shanghai, and if you really want to develop your career, this distance will not be an obstacle.”

"Going to Suzhou?"

"Yes, this is a job you found yourself, and this company is practically part of our family, so it's the perfect place for you to gain experience. Of course, this is just a suggestion; ultimately, it's up to you where you want to go."

Nie Xiguang fell into deep thought. To be honest, of the three cities, she actually wanted to go to Shanghai more, not only because of Zhou Chen, but also because most of her good friends had also chosen to go to Shanghai. If she went to Suzhou, she would be truly alone.

After a moment, her expression hardened, and she said very seriously, "Mom, I'll listen to you and go to Shuangyuan in Suzhou."

Although Shanghai has many attractive aspects, her mother is right. Suzhou is not far from Shanghai, and if they really want to develop, this distance is nothing. Moreover, she does want to prove herself and that she is capable enough to live up to Zhou Chen's evaluation of her as a "strong woman".

Zhou Chen is so outstanding and exceptional, I can't be too bad myself, otherwise, wouldn't it be too mismatched for me to stand next to him?

That night, Nie Xiguang lay in bed and sent a text message to Zhou Chen, telling him that he would be going to work in Suzhou.

Zhou Chen wasn't surprised to receive the message from Nie Xiguang. Although things were going well between him and Nie Xiguang, they weren't yet boyfriend and girlfriend, and it wasn't to the point where Nie Xiguang would disregard everything to come find him. Anyway, Suzhou wasn't far from Shanghai, only an hour or two by car.

However, this means he will have to be wary of Lin Yusen. If Nie Xiguang goes to Shuangyuan, Lin Yusen will definitely follow without hesitation.

Actually, Zhou Chen didn't have any ill feelings towards Lin Yusen. On the contrary, he quite admired Lin Yusen as the male protagonist. But unfortunately, they were rivals in love, so Zhou Chen certainly couldn't give him a chance, much less let him 'torture' Nie Xiguang.

A few days later, Nie Xiguang arrived at Suzhou Shuangyuan Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd., and successfully completed his onboarding, joining the finance department.

Zhou Chen did not go to Suzhou to find Nie Xiguang as before, but continued to be busy with his work. Recently, the company had taken a liking to a project with a large investment, so he, as the boss, needed to personally lead the team and take control of the overall situation.

Another point is that Zhou Chen had taken the initiative to approach Nie Xiguang several times before. Relationships between men and women can't always be one-sided. He wanted a two-way street, so he couldn't always be the one putting in all the effort. He believed he wasn't wrong, and that Nie Xiguang would respond to him. He was waiting for that day to come.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

More than a month has passed since Nie Xiguang joined Shuangyuan. Originally, she joined the finance department, but with the arrival of Lin Yusen, their department was targeted by a scheme, so Lin Yusen used this as an excuse to transfer her directly to the management department.

Lin Yusen initially harbored thoughts of revenge against Nie Xiguang, but he couldn't bring himself to do it and instead protected Nie Xiguang.

Nie Xiguang has been quite busy with work lately because she has been assigned to do the end-of-month inventory.

During lunch that day, she overheard a former colleague from the finance department talking about a handsome young man who had joined Huaya Bank. The man's surname was Zhuang.

Upon hearing the name Huaya Bank and the surname Zhuang, Nie Xiguang immediately thought of Zhuang Xu, and her heart stirred with emotion. However, she restrained herself and acted as if nothing had happened.

She no longer had those feelings for Zhuang Xu. Instead, when she thought of Zhuang Xu, she couldn't help but think of Zhou Chen. It had been more than three months since they parted ways in Jinling. Although they had been in contact, they hadn't had a chance to meet.

The thought of Zhou Chen suddenly made her eager to see him.

What is he doing now?

I'm so sorry this chapter is so late and a bit short. My main problem is a terrible headache; I drank too much last night, and it's a lingering effect. Drinking makes things worse; I need to drink less in the future!
