Chapter 440: 440
Su Jinhui went upstairs, puzzled . Si Zhengting chose not to beat around the bush and got straight to the point . “There’s an assignment to be completed in Hangzhou . We need someone to be there for the long term . The position is meant for a director . I’d like you to fill in the role . ”

The promotion from a department head to a director would have been a dream come true for most employees .
Su Jinhui was no different . His eyes lit up, but a thought seemed to cross his mind as the light dimmed . “If I go to Hangzhou, does that mean that I can no longer come back?”
Si Zhengting nodded as he stared at Su Jinhui .
Actually, for Su Jinhui, going to Hangzhou was a good choice . Here, his chances of promotion were quelled by Zhuang Nainai . He had no opportunity to shine . Furthermore, with his abilities, he should have been promoted a long time ago .
Su Jinhui deliberated for a moment before sighing . “Mr . Si, I don’t want to take up this assignment . Thank you for giving me this chance . ”
Si Zhengting was taken aback . “Why not?”

An expression of yearning crossed Su Jinhui’s face . “Because I’ve fallen in love with a girl . I want to stay in Beijing for her . ”
Si Zhengting paused . “Even if it means that if you don’t leave for Hangzhou, the Imperial Group won’t be able to continue its operations?”
Su Jinhui hesitated before nodding .
However, he hadn’t expected Si Zhengting to continue with the following words . “Do you know that the girl you like is someone else’s wife?”
Zhuang Nainai was waiting anxiously on the 18th floor . She wondered what Si Zhengting would do to make things difficult for her senior . Why couldn’t he kick the habit of getting jealous?

When she was in high school, whenever Su Yanbin tried to speak to her, Si Zhengting was somehow able to find an excuse to instigate Su Yanbin to carry out the former’s orders . Si Zhengting’s possessiveness over Zhuang Nainai was overwhelming .
As she thought about this, she pursed her lips . He was so possessive over her, yet he had also abandoned her in the end . This man… was so lovable yet so hateful at the same time!
She paced around in the office, walking out every now and then to look around the lift lobby area . Finally, she saw Su Jinhui exiting the elevator . He looked defeated .
Zhuang Nainai was taken aback . She quickly walked up to him . “Senior, what happened? Did Mr . Si make things difficult for you?”
Su Jinhui had a strange look in his eyes as he stared at her . Even his expression looked somewhat forced and unnatural . However, after seeing how concerned she was for him, Su Jinhui smiled in the end . He replied, “Nothing much really happened . ”
After he said this, he patted Zhuang Nainai’s shoulder . “I’ve stayed up a couple of nights to work on the design drafts — I think I should go and rest for now . ”

Then, he brushed past Zhuang Nainai and left for his office .
Zhuang Nainai watched as he walked away . Why did his silhouette look so miserable?
She bit her lips, then sighed .
She finalized the design drafts and sent them to the appropriate colleague . Zhuang Nainai immediately felt relieved after she did so . She stretched and walked out of her office . Strangely, she saw a group of her co-workers huddling together and discussing something secretively .
She wandered over curiously .
“When did Leader Su leave?”
“Only within the last two days . ”
“Will Leader Su come back?”
“I’ve heard that he’s going to Hangzhou and taking on the position of Director there . He’ll probably not return for the next couple of years . ”
Zhuang Nainai was shocked by this news . Su Jinhui had been posted to Hangzhou?!
What was going on?!
Zhuang Nainai briskly walked into Su Jinhui’s office but found that it had long been emptied .
Zhuang Nainai was speechless .
Thinking back to when Su Jinhui had returned from the top floor, she recalled that he hadn’t looked good . Zhuang Nainai suddenly guessed that Si Zhengting had threatened him back then!
