Chapter 1733: Fated to Run Afoul of Women

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Xinya slept very soundly.

She dreamed of an all-powerful Si Yiyan, magnificent and highly-revered. He stood high above all like a god. But the dream ended with him sitting all alone in his throne, having died of old ailments at the mere age of 50.

It was a glorious and resplendent life.

It was a life splendid beyond description.

But it was also a lonely life.

Tears flowed down her face.

By the time she awoke, her pillow was drenched with tears. Still troubled by that dream, she recalled that calligraphy writing: Alone in desolation, fated to a lonely life.

“What did you dream of?” Si Yiyan gently wiped off the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“How long was I asleep for?” Wen Xinya finally snapped out of her dream-like reverie. She leaned into Si Yiyan’s arms and clutched his clothes tightly.

She remembered that she had fallen asleep on the way back from the courthouse.

Si Yiyan’s large hands gently stroked her back, as if comforting her. “You were asleep for seven hours. You missed lunch, and it is now 6 pm. Dinner will be ready soon.”

She had fallen into a very deep sleep, curling up in his arms and clutching desperately onto his clothes.

He had laid beside her the whole time, watching her.

He had no idea what she was dreaming about, but her expressions kept shifting. Joy, sadness, bitterness, tears...

“So I have slept for so long.” Wen Xinya avoided his question. It might have been just a dream, but somehow, she believed it was real.

The almighty Si Yiyan.

It was actually also very heartrending.

Si Yiyan didn’t pursue the matter. “Do you wish to sleep a little longer?”

She had fallen into such a deep sleep because she was just too exhausted.

Wen Xinya shook her head and reached up to wrap her arms around his neck. She pressed her face against his chest. “Si Yiyan, I will always be by your side. I will never let you be all alone.”

Si Yiyan’s pupils quivered as he hugged her tightly.

Chu Jingnan stood in Country M’s international airport and watched the tourists streaming by. He felt exactly as he did six years ago when he first stepped into Country M.

At that time, he had been forced to travel to Country M after being embroiled in the Xiao Family illegitimate son scandal. He had been in an utterly wretched state.

Now, he had failed in helping T-K Group’s takeover plan and had been summoned back to the country. Wasn’t he just as wretched now as he was then?

His life had turned one full circle and came back right to the original starting point.

The first time, the one who had defeated him was that heartless nightmare of a woman.

Wen Xinya!

Now, the one who had him defeated yet again was also a woman. A mysterious and unfathomable woman.

Bella!

He was fated to run afoul of women all his life.

Chu Jingnan composed himself and, without even making a trip back home, headed straight for the offices of Genesis.

The boss of Genesis Investment Company looked at the youthful face of this man, whom he once had such high hopes for. He shook his head. “Chu, you know that I have always admired your capabilities and appreciated the work you have done. But you have really disappointed me with this takeover plan for T-K Group.”

Chu Jingnan was an up-and-rising star on Wall Street. He had performed extremely well since joining the company. The takeover plan for T-K Group was a major project, and it had been given to him mainly because he was a citizen of Country Z and would hold a better understanding of the nation’s state of affairs.

The boss had also given Chu Jingnan a team of their best investment people to work with. But the takeover plan still failed terribly.

Chu Jingnan didn’t try to defend himself but just said in all sincerity, “Boss, I am very sorry. I have let you down. I will bear full responsibility for the failure of this takeover plan and hand in my resignation!”

The takeover plan had already failed. No amount of explaining would save him. As an exemplary investment manager, failure was not allowed.

This takeover plan for T-K Group was destined to be the greatest blot on his life.

With this stain, it would be very difficult for him to continue ascending in this profession.

Although he felt very aggrieved, it was the truth of the matter. He had to bear the consequences and face up to reality.

The boss watched him quietly for a moment before speaking again. “Actually, I know that the main reason behind this failure was T-K Group themselves. Their own management strategies were off the mark and ended up impeding the takeover plan. The fault is not entirely yours.”

He had already gotten all the relevant information concerning T-K Group and Lanxin Company’s takeover battle. T-K Group had been unable to adapt to Country Z and made many miscalculations in their strategies, and ended up falling for Lanxin Company’s trap.

Genesis Investment Company had been steadily supporting T-K Group the entire time, and all their own strategies were sound. To be fair, Chu Jingnan had not committed a single mistake on his end.

But he was down on luck!

Chu Jingnan clasped his hands in front of him, looking respectful but not defeated. “Boss, the reason for failure doesn’t matter. There is no denying the fact that it failed.”

He had used four years to become one of the top elite on Wall Street.

But only two years to fall from his high perch.

But he believed that he would rise up once again before long.

The boss was full of admiration and regret over Chu Jingnan. “Genesis Investment Company has always been one of the top investment companies on Wall Street. This failure was a great blow to our name and the company decided to make you take the fall. They have decided to terminate your employment contract.”

With that, he presented a document to Chu Jingnan.

This young man before him had a limitless future. He really did not wish to lose such a talent, but the situation forced his hand.

Chu Jingnan accepted the termination document and added his signature without any hesitation. “Boss, thank you for your support all these years.”

Chu Jingnan handed the document back to his boss.

He maintained an air of magnanimity.

The boss asked, “What plans do you have for the future?”

Chu Jingnan replied calmly, “I intend to return to Country Z after I settle my affairs here.”

Actually, he planned to return to Country Z to develop his career.

The boss was shocked. “Chu, are you really going to give up all the connections and resources you have spent so many years gathering in Country M? You can make use of them to quickly climb back up. If you return to Country Z, you have to start all over again. It won’t be an easy process.”

The boss couldn’t understand his decision at all.

Chu Jingnan smiled. “Yes, I have made up my mind. There’s an old saying in Country Z that goes: you must climb back up from wherever you fell.”

Previously, he spent four years in Country M turning himself from a foreign wanderer to a Wall Street elite.

There was no reason he couldn’t attain yet another peak within an even shorter amount of time.
