Chapter 248: Chapter 222: Mr. Gu Shows Affection
According to Lin You.
An Zhiyi used to have a very beautiful girlfriend, and they were very much in love.
But the girl thought his conditions weren’t good enough and quickly married a wealthy man.
An Zhiyi was like that.
The notion that beautiful women aren’t good, beautiful women disdain the poor and love the rich, love cheating... took root in An Zhiyi’s heart.
At that time, Qiao Yuxian heard this and was speechless.
His ex-girlfriend cheated.
What does that have to do with her!
Is he venting his anger on her?!
That’s the reason for An Zhiyi’s misogyny and aversion to beautiful women.
And his dislike for newcomers stems from when An Zhiyi was a deputy leader and had led interns for two consecutive years, he always complained that new interns didn’t know anything.
Since then, a shadow remained in his mind.
The difference between interns who haven’t graduated and those who truly seek a job at Gu Group and need to complete an internship period is quite significant.
Qiao Yuxian and her peers were offered internships by Gu Group for Jing University, with relatively low thresholds.
Compared to those who secured jobs through interviews, in terms of ability and social experience, there’s quite a gap.
For interns like Qiao Yuxian, An Zhiyi only feels more disgusted.
Using Lin You’s words again.
Qiao Yuxian is a newcomer, an ungraduated newcomer! A woman, a super beautiful stunner!
Her level of beauty is quite extraordinary within the entire Gu Group.
This level of beauty, might soon spread throughout the company.
Her beauty even diluted An Zhiyi’s aversion to newcomers, allowing fellow intern Zhao Meng to dodge a bullet.
Qiao Yuxian was really speechless, almost missing a few bites of lunch.
But seeing only two bites left, she finished it.
After lunch, the four of them casually chatted at their places.
Seeing it was still early, Lin You said, "Come on, I’ll take you for a spin on the fifteenth floor."
"What’s on the fifteenth floor?" Zhao Meng asked.
Xu Qingqing said, "The fifteenth floor is the company’s leisure and entertainment area. Last year, a snack supermarket was added. Every department goes there weekly to grab something. If you want something, you can tell the management, and they’ll prepare it."
"There’s even a supermarket?" Zhao Meng asked.
Xu Qingqing nodded, "Previously, there were specific people distributing food to each department. Since the supermarket opened last year, departments go there on their own to get what they want."
Lin You glanced around and whispered, "It’s said our big boss Mr. Gu prepared it especially for his wife."
Still sulking about her bad luck, Qiao Yuxian paused with her tableware, looking towards Lin You.
Zhao Meng glanced at Qiao Yuxian and asked, "Mr. Gu set up a supermarket for his wife in his company?"
"Yes," Xu Qingqing said.
Zhao Meng looked towards Lin You, "Really?"
Lin You lowered her voice further, "It’s said last year when the wife came to the company for fun, Special Assistant Su bought lots of food, and then the wife suggested opening a supermarket. So, a supermarket opened on the fifteenth floor, which can be said to be specifically for the boss’s wife."
Qiao Yuxian was completely stunned.
Her brain was working rapidly.
Then she remembered the first time she came to Gu Group, Gu Yanjing asked Su Qi to buy lots of things for her, and she casually mentioned, "You could open a supermarket in the company."
Then Gu Yanjing seemed to say, "Mm."
At that time, she wondered what that "Mm" meant.
But seeing him busy, she didn’t ask further.
Turns out that’s what "Mm" meant.
No wonder when she came again later, Su Qi delivered food faster, as it was all from within the company.
Zhao Meng watched Qiao Yuxian spacing out. Originally, she thought it was made up, but seeing her daze, she felt ninety-five percent it was true.
"Where did you hear about this?" Qiao Yuxian asked with her mouth, her mind reconsidering the people around Gu Yanjing.
Turns out those usually expressionless ones are actually big gossipers behind the scenes.
"When the supermarket was built, it was rumored," Lin You said, "Last year, everyone thought it was fake. This year we discovered it’s true."
"How do you know it’s true?" Zhao Meng asked.
"Last year, they said Mr. Gu had a wife, and no one believed it," Lin You said, "This year, Mr. Gu personally showed affection, and the entire company from top to bottom couldn’t escape noticing it."
Qiao Yuxian suddenly widened her eyes.
What?!
What did she hear?!
Gu Yanjing showed affection!!!
Is her ear malfunctioning, or did she enter the wrong company?!
Isn’t the Mr. Gu they’re talking about Gu Yanjing?!
Her face remained calm, but inside she was extremely surprised. Then, with curiosity, she asked, "Mr. Gu already has a wife?"
Zhao Meng was still asking how Gu Yanjing showed affection. Hearing her question, she turned her head towards her.
Qiao Yuxian also looked at her.
Zhao Meng smiled, her eyes questioning: Do you hear the nonsense you’re asking? Don’t you know if he has a wife?!
Qiao Yuxian raised her eyebrows and smiled at her, "Just curious."
Xu Qingqing chuckled, "I heard they got married last year."
"How did he show affection?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.
"You’ve asked the right person," Lin You sat up straight, adjusted her expression, and her storytelling manner kicked in, "Let’s start this story from the tenth day of New Year when work resumed..."
On the tenth day of New Year, as soon as Gu Yanjing arrived at the company, he held a meeting with the executives.
During the meeting, Mr. Gu, who always dressed meticulously and neatly, suddenly unbuttoned his left sleeve.
Then he folded it up twice.
His right arm remained untouched.
Gu Yanjing, his natural aura is coldly powerful.
He’s like a snow mountain that never sees sunlight, that coldness and aloofness.
His dressing style is the same.
Calm and elegant.
Apart from a watch, they never saw anything else on his wrist.
But that day during the meeting, Gu Yanjing’s sudden range of movements drew everyone’s attention to his hand.
Then they saw the conspicuous red thread on his wrist.
On the red thread were a Mountain Ghost Coin and an Amulet.
Everyone whose eyes were drawn to the red thread quickly noticed the ring on his left ring finger.
The entire conference room of execs stared at his hand, "?????!!!!!!"
Mr. Gu’s expression was calm, without any extra expression, even slightly stern. Seeing everyone looking at his hand, he raised his eyes to glance at them.
Instantly, everyone shifted their gaze, either to look at the projector at the front, their computers, or their notebooks.
No matter how curious, they dared not glance again.
Gu Yanjing looked at them, then at his hand, seeming incidental yet casually said, "It was given by my wife."
Everyone was startled, some didn’t dare move, unsure how to react to his words. They’ve never heard Mr. Gu talk about anything other than work.
Some couldn’t resist and glanced at Gu Yanjing.
They saw that Gu Yanjing didn’t have any extra expression, just lowered his gaze staring at the red thread on his hand.
Feeling someone watching him, he lifted his gaze again.
Those who watched him trembled inside, lowered their heads again, then Gu Yanjing said, "My wife made it herself, isn’t it nice?"
Standing behind him, Su Qi: "......"
Gu Yanjing’s voice and tone are always like that, making it hard for people to discern his mood, his emotions.
Only when he spoke did everyone understand his meaning.
He was being deliberate, deliberately showing off to them, flaunting.
The entire conference room paused for a few seconds, finally someone reacted first, "Mrs. Gu is truly talented with her hands."
"Nice, very nice."
"Great taste, the bracelet matches Mr. Gu well."
"Yes, yes, the meaning is great. Mrs. Gu seems so considerate, Mr. Gu is fortunate."
...
Normally Mr. Gu would find them noisy for speaking an extra word, but listening to them praise for ten minutes before continuing the meeting.
After the meeting ended, Gu Yanjing left the room and Su Qi was surrounded.
One group asked, "When did Mr. Gu get married?"
Another group asked, "Will knowing this get us silenced?"
Su Qi, eager to chase Gu Yanjing, quickly pacified them, "No silencing, don’t worry. Our Mrs. Gu is quite beautiful, generous, smart, kind, and the wedding will notify everyone."
Finishing this, he went to chase after Gu Yanjing.
Then the next day, the company received exquisite wedding candies from top to bottom.
Said to be a supplement for Mr. Gu receiving the marriage certificate.
The news of Mr. Gu’s marriage slowly spread in Capital City, but Qiao Yuxian didn’t know.
