I looked up at Gu Yuanzhou!
I thought to myself, I died by your hands in my past life, so shouldn’t I be scared of you in this life?
What kind of man are you? Don’t you know?
But, it’s not the right ti to say these words, so I forcefully broke free from his grip.
“President Gu, it’s getting late. If we’re going to go, we should hurry up otherwise we’ll be late.”
I didn’t wait for him and got into the car first.
After getting into the car, I waited for a long ti before Gu Yuanzhou eventually walked down. He walked very slowly.
I sat in the back seat of the car and Old Ma, glancing at the figure outside the car window, sighed,
“President Gu really got hurt badly this ti, he can’t even walk properly. He used to stride around with such vitality.”
“Oh!”
I looked out of the car window and indeed, Gu Yuanzhou was still looking pale.
Normally when we had a driver, Gu Yuanzhou would sit in the front passenger seat.
But for so reason right now, he opened the rear door and sat down next to .
“Let’s go!”
“Alright, buckle up, President Gu!”
The car started moving slowly, crossing the city’s night scene, piercing the glamour and buzz of the city life.
This ti, I was so close to him.
Sotis, the car would shake, and the street lights from outside would occasionally cast shadows through the window.
Fleeting shadows danced across Gu Yuanzhou’s deep gaze.
He still looked the sa as ever, just like the countless tis when we would leave work together, head ho together to our lovely children waiting for us…
Back in those days, I was like a small bird, nestling happily on his shoulder, our bliss inspiring envy amongst others.
Back then, we had many dreams and hopes.
We imagined making Zhenyi Company number one globally.
We dread of our daughter getting married, our son starting a family, and a house bustling with grandchildren.
But now, even though I am still sitting here with him, everything is gone.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, all that’s left is an endless night.
Half an hour later, we arrived at our destination.
To my surprise, Gu Yuanzhou, who looked weak in the car, seed to beco sharp once he was standing with the clients.
It was like a fully drawn bow, ready for battle.
At the high-end hotel business eting, the n started their business talk.
I didn’t fully understand what Gu Yuanzhou brought for, but since it was about Zhenyi Company, I focused on every detail.
There were four n in total, and it seed they were investing in a project. I knew these n, they were from Imperial City, especially Mr. Zhou…
This was a significant project. The client was a royal mber of Thailand. The investnt amount was in hundreds of millions.
I glanced at the contract and felt sothing wasn’t right. Though I couldn’t pinpoint any problem, my intuition told not to sign this contract.
So I had a sudden idea. I picked up a cup of coffee and handed it to Gu Yuanzhou.
I “accidentally” knocked over the coffee onto the table.
Dark coffee quickly spread over the docunts, ruining the signature Gu Yuanzhou just put on the contract.
“Ah, I’m really sorry, my mistake has made this contract unusable.”
I pretended to be very anxious and started wiping with a tissue, but the more I wiped, the blurrier it beca.
The other partners imdiately seed alard.
“What is going on? Can’t you even handle a simple task?”
I kept apologizing,
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault! I’m sorry, everyone. How about this, I can photocopy another contract for you.”
Gu Yuanzhou gave a helpless look.
He didn’t lose his temper, but I could see a reproachful look in his eyes.
“You don’t need to photocopy anything, we have a backup here!”
Mr. Zhou took out another contract from his briefcase.
This surprised …
To prevent from doing anything, Mr Zhou even took away the water bottle.
Their actions only made more conscious that these people were up to no good.
Just as I was about to stop them, suddenly Mr. Zhou stood up and handed a docunt.
“Can you help photocopy this next door?”
As I walked out the door with the docunt in my hand, the door behind quietly closed.
The only thing I could do was to call Gu Yuanzhou…
After three rings, he finally picked up.
“What’s up?”
“President Gu, don’t sign that docunt!”
“I’ve been working on this project for half a year, it does have risks, but it’s not as bad as you imagine.”
“President Gu, listen to . That contract cannot be signed.”
“Was the spilled coffee intentional?”
“Yes, it was!”
“If you don’t want to sign it, you need to give a reason.”
“I don’t know… but Mrs. Gu warned to stop you from signing the contract.”
At this mont, the only excuse I could co up with was this la one. It may be shoddy, but perhaps it’s the only effective way right now.
Gu Yuanzhou was silent for a few minutes, “You go back ho first; I’ll deal with this.”
Then he just hung up.
A few minutes later, when I returned with the copied docunt, that office was already empty.
I couldn’t reach Gu Yuanzhou by phone, so I went to the parking lot to find Old Ma.
The car was still there, and Old Ma was still sitting in the car, but he was on the phone with soone…
“Yes, we are at Dihao Hotel, Mr. Gu brought Miss Song here for socializing!”
I didn’t call him, just quietly stood outside the car.
Waiting for him to hang up.
“It’s Ye ngyan, isn’t it?”
I asked casually.
Old Ma didn’t hide anything, “Yes, Miss Ye cares a lot about President Gu’s health. She often calls to remind us. Sotis she asks to drive slower, sotis she reminds President Gu to take his dicine and not to stay up too late.”
I raised an eyebrow lightly. Concerned she might be, but I suppose the most important thing is surveillance, right?
I must say, Ye ngyan is overly astute.
She even bought off the driver by Gu Yuanzhou’s side.
At this point, I suddenly understood the reality of everything…
I opened the car door and sat in.
I began to test out Old Ma.
“Old Ma, you’ve been with President Gu for so many years. What do you think of Mrs. Gu?”
“Pretty good! Mrs. Gu is a good person! She treats the nanny very well, she’s kind to too, she even gives us red envelopes and gifts during the holidays.”
“Well, then… what do you think about Ye ngyan?”
Old Ma was about to say sothing, but after a thought, he just grinned.
“Miss Song, I can’t answer this question. We, as servants, have no right to comnt on the employer’s family affairs.”
I let out a soft chuckle, seeing how Old Ma was protecting Ye ngyan, I knew he wouldn’t be easy to win over; so instead I said, “Co to think of it, Old Ma, did you offend Ye ngyan?”
“Not at all!”
“Ah, a few days ago, Ye ngyan complained about you in front of President Gu.”
“What? Where did she say I was not good?” Old Ma looked a bit flustered.
“Just… she said you’re getting old and you’re not driving steady. She even suggested the HR departnt to hire a new driver!”
Old Ma’s face turned red after hearing this. His stomach dropped and he was shocked.
“How is this possible? I’ve been loyal to Miss Ye, how could she fire ? No, I have to ask her about this.”
Trust between people is not as strong as you might think.
Even though Ye ngyan regards Old Ma as her trusted aide, but when she wants to turn on him, it can happen in minutes.
