Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Wedding (1)
Wan Manyu also provided criticism for each subordinate’s proposals one by one.
It was all business, with objective remarks.
Nearly every subordinate, after listening, felt that she was absolutely right.
If these ideas were all her own, then she was indeed suitable for a managerial position.
It turned out she had stayed in her office these past two days reviewing docunts in order to solve issues for them.
The subordinates began to change their view of her, and later, hearing about her educational background, her part-ti job experiences abroad, and the cases she handled that even won international awards, they respected her imnsely.
The managerial position was firmly hers now.
…
At the end of the month, Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuan’s wedding was officially to be held.
Zhou Yuan hardly slept the day before, feeling nervous and uneasy about the next day’s wedding.
She felt like she was in a gamble: if she won, her life would be joyful; if she lost… it seed not to matter.
She decided to give herself a year. During this year, she would make Gu Cheng fall in love with her, or else it wouldn’t be worth waiting any longer.
At dawn, the makeup artist ca to do her makeup, and the custom wedding dress was delivered.
Her close cousins ca to be her bridesmaids, and all relatives ca to send her off.
The wedding was not publicized to the dia and was kept confidential, but the lavish bridal procession still attracted the attention of the entire city. Once people knew Gu Group’s “diamond bachelor” was marrying, many ca to take photos, and the event even topped Feng City’s news headline.
People discussed online who the lucky girl might be, surely so corporation’s heiress!
…
At the wedding venue, Su ixi also arrived.
As it was Gu Cheng’s wedding and she was his younger sister, she was seated at the main table.
Gu Wei was a groomsman, and she arrived early, so only Grandpa Gu and Qiu Yurou were at the table.
Qiu Yurou had always disliked Su ixi because of the issue with the villa.
Su ixi could clearly feel Qiu Yurou’s gaze, venomous as if wishing to poison her to death.
But what did that matter?
The villa had been purchased with Gu Wei’s money, as he wanted to give her the best life, so Su ixi was not in the wrong. Qiu Yurou might as well be angry but it would not change the facts.
Su ixi ignored Qiu Yurou’s gaze and simply chatted with Grandpa Gu.
Grandpa Gu asked about her recent situations and encouraged her to perform well in her career and aim for higher achievents.
Qiu Yurou and Grandpa Gu were not on good terms, and seeing him chatting delightedly with the daughter-in-law she loathed made her so angry she didn’t speak a word.
Indeed, an enemy’s enemy is a friend.
She now felt both Grandpa Gu and Su ixi were superfluous, wishing they would disappear sooner.
“Godmother!”
With a sweet call, Wan Manyu also arrived.
Seeing her, Qiu Yurou instantly wore a smile.
“Manman, you’re here, why not a bit earlier?”
“I hadn’t finished with the company’s proposals, I worked late last night and slept in a bit today,” Wan Manyu responded with a smile.
“I heard you’re performing well at work, you’ve really won people’s hearts, that’s great, what did I tell you? With your talent, you’re bound to succeed!”
After saying this, Qiu Yurou glanced at Su ixi, “I wish more people who could truly benefit Gu Group would co.”
Su ixi, seeing that they were not mother and daughter but closer than that, especially with the just-uttered “Godmother,” felt quite upset but still managed a smile, “Oh, Manman now calls you Godmother?”
Qiu Yurou scoffed, “Yes, Manman ca back to help Gu Group, and her parents are not in the country, so we had talked yesterday about addressing each other as mother and daughter from now on.”
Su ixi replied with a smile, “That’s nice, it seems Gu Wei and I have gained another sister.”
Wan Manyu responded with a smile, “Then I hope you would do a favor in the future.”
“Of course.”
Wan Manyu then went to greet Grandpa Gu, who was amiable but maintained a slight distance with everyone.
Seeing the guests arriving one by one, Qiu Yurou quickly said to Wan Manyu, “Manman, co with to welco the guests, today is your big brother Gu Cheng’s wedding day, as family, we must ensure the guests are well received.”
“Okay,” replied Wan Manyu.
As she stood up, she looked at Su ixi: “Aren’t you coming?”
Qiu Yurou pulled Wan Manyu along, “She doesn’t understand this kind of thing, welcoming guests needs to be done with proper decorum.”
Su ixi said, “Then you guys go ahead, I’ll stay here with Grandpa.”
As Grandpa Gu was highly respected in Feng City, it was impossible for him to go et the guests. When the guests arrived, they had to co over and greet him.
As more and more guests gathered, Grandpa Gu quickly beca surrounded by people, leaving Su ixi unable to interject, so she went out to the hotel garden for so fresh air.
…
“Yo, isn’t this Dr. Su? What are you doing here alone, lost in thought?”
Su ixi was observing the garden’s koi fish when an impudent voice suddenly ca from behind.
She didn’t even bother turning around.
This was a hotel, and people were passing by regularly; she reckoned Bai Anzhi wouldn’t dare do anything drastic.
Bai Anzhi walked up beside Su ixi, leaning on the railing just as she was, and looked at the fish in the water before saying, “Look at these fish, seemingly free and at ease, but in reality, they are trapped in this tiny patch of the world, unable to call for help skywards or landwards, much like so rich and influential ladies.”
Su ixi knew he was mocking her and couldn’t help but sneer, “I think they’re quite happy; a fish’s mory lasts only a few seconds, they don’t even rember what they had for their last al, so what good would more space do them?”
Bai Anzhi asked, “Are you content being a fish in this pond?”
“I am not a pond fish, I am myself!”
After saying that, she finally gave him a glance.
Bai Anzhi was handso, with an innate rebellious and sinister charm, the type that could easily enthrall girls, commonly branded as ‘bad-boy handso.’
However, for soone like Su ixi, who had felt insecure since childhood, she only liked the steadfast type like Gu Wei.
Bai Anzhi then smiled at her, “Why aren’t you helping to receive guests? I heard your relationship with your mother-in-law is quite bad.”
“What does that matter to you?”
“Of course, it’s not my concern, I just like to stand up for the underdog and pity the beauties. Look, when you needed it most, Gu Wei wasn’t by your side, as a husband, he’s rather neglectful.”
“Stop trying to sow discord here.” Su ixi felt it was pointless to continue talking to Bai Anzhi, as they were not of the sa kind, especially since Bai Anzhi clearly harbored ill intentions.
She was about to turn back when she ca face to face with Leng Yiran’s cara.
Clearly, Leng Yiran had captured the mont Su ixi was chatting with Bai Anzhi.
“Su ixi, your husband’s elder brother is getting married, and you’re here seducing n?” Leng Yiran questioned.
