Chapter 674: Starting From Zero

After talking to her Big Brother on the phone, Murong Qiao prepared to go to the company.
She first finished the breakfast Huo Yichen had prepared for her, then returned to her room and packed her things before setting off for the office.
One of the advantages of the new residence was that it was extremely close to the company. Usually, it only took ten minutes to get to and from work even if she walked.
Even though the route had been changed, Murong Qiao still walked through the company’s door as usual and received the greetings of the security officers.
“Let me tell you, I even ate a melon yesterday! It was especially exciting…
When Murong Qiao arrived at the company, the two front desk staff were eating breakfast at their desks and sharing their gossip during the lunch break. However, after hearing the security officer at the door suddenly say hello, the front desk lady stood up belatedly and saw Murong Qiao who had already walked over. She hurriedly straightened her back.
“Hello, Boss.” As she spoke too quickly, the front desk lady almost bit her tongue.
Murong Qiao replied casually.
However, the front desk lady’s gaze seemed to be glued to Murong Qiao. From the moment she took a few steps towards the elevator, she had already looked over several times. It was impossible for her to ignore her.
Murong Qiao had no choice but to turn around. “Is there anything wrong with me?”
She could not see her back and thought that there was something wrong with her clothes, or that she had gotten dirty when she was not paying attention. That was why she attracted the other party’s attention.
“No, no.” The front desk lady hurriedly waved her hand.
In her heart, the boss could be said to be a fairy-like beauty. She looked good in anything.
However, the reason why she took a few more glances just now was not because of Murong Qiao. It was because the front desk lady recalled Nan Xuan, who had been running to the company a few days ago.
If not for the fact that she knew that Nan Xuan was a representative of a partnering company and saw him coming to the company from time to time every day, the front desk lady would have thought that he was really one of the staff of CG Company.
Murong Qiao looked back patiently. “Then why do you keep looking at me?” “It’s… it’s…” The front desk lady stammered, not knowing if she should say this. However, her colleague beside her helped her speak. “Boss, you don’t know this, but some time ago, someone came to our company every two to three days and often asked us about you.”
“What?” Murong Qiao frowned.
After all, this behavior sounded strange. It didn’t sound like something a normal person would do.
The first thing she thought of was those paparazzi or reporters. However, when she thought about how they could enter the company and talk to the front desk, they must have a legitimate identity to be able to enter the company and not be stopped by the security officers.
This time, it was the front desk lady who spoke. “It’s someone who’s working with our company. His name is Nan Xuan.”
As the other party had been here before and had asked the front desk many times, the lady at the front desk remembered the other party’s name.
It was also because of her colleague’s help that the front desk lady told Murong Qiao everything she had encountered some time ago and Nan Xuan’s actions.
“He used to come often, but I haven’t seen him in the past few days.”
The young lady at the front desk added, “He doesn’t look like a bad person. Moreover, I don’t think he’s the one who came to discuss the collaboration later.”
A person would really develop a habit after a long time. As a result, the lady at the front desk would look at the door from time to time to see if Nan Xuan would come over.
After that, when she saw that he hadn’t come for a few days, the young lady at the front desk flipped through the staff records again and realized that Nan Xuan’s name was not among the people from the same company who came to discuss cooperation. Instead, there was a person called Yu Liang as the main person-in-charge.
“…Alright, I understand.” Murong Qiao nodded.
She originally thought that someone with ill intentions had entered the company. Now that she found out that it was Nan Xuan, she was silent for a long time and didn’t choose to continue asking.
Although they were cooperating, Murong Qiao had never thought of involving the private lives of both sides in the company’s matters. Since the other party didn’t come to look for her again, he must have figured it out.
Murong Qiao didn’t care about this.
Little did she know that Nan Xuan wanted to come, but unfortunately, he had no reason to enter the company now.
In the repeated work day after day, Nan Xuan rarely had time to relax. He could only look up from his work at the surrounding scenery and the details that he had never paid attention to occasionally.
Perhaps it was because he was in a different mood, but even the bird cries that he usually felt bothered by became pleasant to the ears.
After leaving his original job, his mind was no longer filled with the itinerary and reports he needed to make. Nan Xuan seemed to have really been reborn.
Even his younger brother, Nan Hao, said that he seemed to have become a different person.
He squeezed onto the subway as usual. Looking at the crowd around him, the office workers with their heads lowered and playing with their cell phones, and the same numb expressions on everyone’s faces, he felt that something had changed in his heart.
Nan Xuan had already thought it through.
If his life had always been like this, the efforts he had made to maintain his current situation and stay in other companies would only make his family’s life better even if he became a Manager, a General Manager, or a higher position in the future.
But what if his Little Sister suffered and was bullied?
This question had been lingering in Nan Xuan’s heart for the past few days and couldn’t dissipate.
He was not an ordinary person who had grown up ordinary. He had once been the Eldest Young Master of the Nan family and was revered by everyone. It was precisely because of this that Nan Xuan understood the meaning of power and influence as something that could provide legal or political cover. After all, Nan Hao had already graduated and had started his internship. Everyone had the ability to rely on themselves, and the burden on the family was not as heavy as before.
Moreover…
Thinking of the shameless things he had done in his previous life, a bitter smile appeared on Nan Xuan’s lips.
He owed too much.
Since he said that he wanted to start a new company, Nan Xuan had no intention of delaying.
He directly contacted a few business friends he had known previously and began to look for the location of the new company, the registration of trademarks, and related documents.
However, after losing the protection of the Nan family, many things had to start from scratch.
For a moment, Nan Xuan also became busy. If he had to break it down, he was even busier than when he worked in the company in the past.
Fortunately, when he was working previously, in order to make up for not being promoted at that time, the leader gave him several projects. The money he earned from the projects, including the money given by Nan Jin and Nan Hao, was enough to start his new company.
Nan Xuan prepared to start the company in an orderly manner. However, Murong Qiao’s face would still appear in his mind from time to time. Counting carefully, it seemed like he had not seen his Little Sister for an entire month.
The endless thoughts were not only not diluted by the consumption of energy after being busy day after day, but instead, because of the accumulation of time that was increasing day by day, it seemed to have become a tug-of-war. Occasionally, when he passed by the entrance of CG company, Nan Xuan would stop and look at it carefully.
After standing for a while, countless matters urged him to leave. From the beginning to the end, Nan Xuan had never taken that step..
