After the board meeting, Yuan Xudong walked towards his vice president's office. Seeing a group of female employees from the sales department gathered in front of his office door, gossiping and chattering, he said with a gloomy face:
"What are you all doing here?"
"Hello, Mr. Yuan!"
"Mr. Yuan, there's a woman looking for you, and Suosuo is also there!"
Upon hearing Yuan Xudong's voice, the group of young girls immediately greeted him and scattered. The brave ones even said a few more words, and then gathered together at the corner of the corridor to continue discussing the romantic scandal of the company's vice president.
Seeing the lawless appearance of these girls, Yuan Xudong suddenly felt a toothache. These girls were not afraid of him because he was easy to talk to and always treated people gently, unlike Ye Jinyan who was serious and ruthless and would make the employees who did not meet his wishes pack up and leave, and go back to where they came from.
When he walked into the office, Jiang Nansun was sitting in her seat, and Zhu Suosuo was sitting at her desk chatting with her. Seeing the two of them acting as if they were alone, Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes and said:
"What are you two doing?"
After saying that, he closed the door and locked it, while taking off his suit and hanging it on the hanger. Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Jiang Nansun, who had been furious for a long time, stood up and walked up to him and said angrily:
"Yuan Xudong, did you make Li Yifan refuse to hire me?"
"Do you have any evidence?"
Staring at Jiang Nansun who was holding her neck high, Yuan Xudong explained with a smile:
"Why would a white lotus like you work in finance? The financial industry is just like the entertainment industry, with more wolves than meat, and beautiful women are also a scarce resource. Are you willing to let others take advantage of you?"
"Who said that?"
Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong who was talking nonsense and retorted:
"I think Mr. Li is nice, gentle and polite. He's not like you said he would take advantage of girls!"
"You don't call him Uncle Li anymore?"
After walking to his desk and sitting down, Yuan Xudong leaned back in his chair and smiled:
"I didn't say what Li Yifan would do to you. If you work in finance, you will come into contact with all kinds of wealthy people. I have seen many girls selling financial products, who are as young and beautiful as you and Suosuo.
Those big bosses don't need to spend money, they just need to buy some financial products from them, and while making profits, they can also enjoy a young and beautiful body. Isn't it a good deal?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, without waiting for Jiang Nansun to respond, Zhu Suosuo climbed over from the table, sat on his thighs, squinted her eyes and threatened:
"Yuan Xudong, you are very experienced. Have you ever enjoyed a young and beautiful body?"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo sitting on his thighs and leaning over his chest, Yuan Xudong smiled. Amid Zhu Suosuo's exclamation, he stood up, supporting her hips with one hand and her back with the other. In the moment when her body was suspended in the air, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but hug Yuan Xudong's neck tightly, and straddled him like a koala hugging a tree.
Taking two steps forward and placing Zhu Suosuo on the large desk, Yuan Xudong leaned over and looked at Zhu Suosuo, whose hair was spread out and whose eyes were evasive, and said jokingly:
"Zhu Suosuo, do you want to try it?"
"Yuan Xudong, put me down quickly!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's dangerous eyes, as if he was going to play a real game with her, Zhu Suosuo's face changed slightly, and she quickly looked at Jiang Nansun who was stunned and asked for help:
"Nansun, come and save me quickly!"
Hearing Zhu Suosuo's cry for help, Jiang Nansun came to her senses and quickly ran to Yuan Xudong and pushed him, saying:
"Yuan Xudong, this is an office, don't mess around!"
He originally planned to scare Zhu Suosuo, but he didn't expect Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo to cooperate with him so well. They played their roles vividly. The slight resistance, coupled with a hint of panic and expectation, directly ignited Yuan Xudong's adrenaline.
In the corridor outside the office, the employees passing by were very curious, wondering what good thing had happened. At that moment, passionate and inspiring music sounded in President Yuan’s office, and those who heard it couldn’t help but feel excited, as if they were on the battlefield themselves.
While Yuan Xudong, Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun were hiding in the office playing the game of eagle catching chickens, Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia gathered together. The three of them sat on the balcony of Gu Jia's house, drinking coffee and admiring the scenery of the entire Bund. The Oriental Pearl Tower not far away was in front of them, and high-rise buildings stood in rows. Looking at the busy traffic downstairs, Wang Manni covered her face and said embarrassedly:
"He proposed to me and said he would wait for me at home. After I got back, I threw myself into his arms. Do you think I was a bad person as a girl? I was too proactive."
"Wang Manni, so you are this kind of person!"
Gu Jia squatted on the sofa in the balcony, looking at the blushing Wang Manni and teasing her. Zhong Xiaoqin, who was standing by, took a look at Wang Manni's diamond ring and said enviously:
"Manni, I really envy you and Gu Gu. Chen Yu and I didn't even have a wedding, and we just got together straight away!"
Hearing Zhong Xiaoqin say this, Wang Manni was surprised:
"Why didn't you and Teacher Chen have a wedding?"
"He said getting married was like a monkey show, two people standing on the stage for everyone to laugh at, it's better not to get married. After we got the marriage certificate, he took me out for a meal, and then we lived together."
“Is it that simple?”
After looking at Zhong Xiaoqin in disbelief, Wang Manni looked at her diamond ring and said:
"If Yuan Xudong is willing to get a marriage certificate with me, I don't have to hold a wedding. Compared to the sense of ceremony, I want a real sense of security more."
Hearing Wang Manni say this, Zhong Xiaoqin slightly widened her eyes and said in disbelief:
"Why would Yuan Xudong marry you if we don't get a marriage certificate?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
After taking a look at Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni who were envious of each other, Gu Jia opened her phone and handed it over, changing the subject:
"What do you think of this store?"
After taking Gu Jia's phone and taking a look at the real scene of the store, Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin said with great interest:
"It's very cute!"
"Not bad!"
“Isn’t it pretty?”
Seeing that Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin liked it, Gu Jia said happily:
"This shop will close this weekend. I want to take it over and open a dessert shop. I want to hold the afternoon tea activities for the wives' circle in this shop. I can't provide any information, but I can at least provide a place for information exchange. If there is more and more information here, I won't have to look for those wives anymore. They will definitely be scrambling to come here!"
After taking a look at the beautifully decorated shop and returning the phone to Gu Jia, Zhong Xiaoqin slightly widened her eyes and said:
"Is this place expensive? Does it cost a lot of money?"
"That's not necessary!"
Gu Jia shook her head slightly and smiled:
"This place is small, so I can't spend too much money. I can just redeem my own bail and sell some luxury goods!"
"Gu Jia, you are really courageous. You just do it as soon as you think of it!"
Looking at Gu Jia who was determined to make a desperate move, Wang Manni hesitated for a while and then made up her mind:
"Gu Jia, Yuan Xudong bought me some Wuliangye shares, which are worth about one million yuan. He told me to keep them for dividends. If you are short of money, I will sell the shares."
"Not for now. If you need me, I won't be polite to you!"
Glancing at Wang Manni who wanted to help her, Gu Jia smiled and said:
"Manni, does Mr. Yuan have any inside information? Why did he buy Wuliangye shares for you?"
“No inside information.”
Hearing Gu Jia ask this, Wang Manni said embarrassedly:
"He said he likes to drink liquor and thinks Wuliangye is pretty good. He bought some shares to support it. The overall environment is so bad now. If the company goes bankrupt, won't there be nothing to drink?"
"Are you so willful?"
Zhong Xiaoqin opened her eyes slightly and said:
"Our Chen Yu never touches stocks. He says these things are too shabby and it's safer to keep them in a bank!"
Before Wang Manni could speak up to defend Yuan Xudong, a cell phone rang. It was Gu Jia's phone. Gu Jia picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.
"It's our family's fireworks company. You guys can talk later. I'll take a call first!"
"OK!"
After answering the phone, Gu Jia smiled and said:
"Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"
"Gu Jia, Chen Xu was arrested by the police. They accused him of making and selling counterfeit goods. He was caught red-handed in the company's storage room. President Xu is not here. What do you think we should do?"
Hearing the news that Chen Xu was arrested, Zhong Xiaoqin was slightly stunned. Knowing that he was Zhong Xiaoqin's brother-in-law and Chen Yu's younger brother, Wang Manni looked at her worriedly. Gu Jia was slightly stunned and said calmly:
"Lao Li, Mr. Xu is on a business trip in Beijing. Don't tell him about this for now. You stay at the company and watch over him. I'll go to the police station to find out what's going on first!"
"Okay, I know!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jia stood up and put on her coat, looking at the dazed Zhong Xiaoqin and instructed:
"Xiaoqin, give Teacher Chen a call, and let's go to the police station to find out what's going on first!"
"good!"
After hearing Gu Jia's instructions, Zhong Xiaoqin came back to her senses and quickly called Chen Yu to explain the reason. After the call ended, she looked at Gu Jia and apologized:
"Gu Jia, I'm so sorry. If I hadn't introduced Chen Xu to you, your fireworks company wouldn't have been implicated!"
"Don't worry, maybe it's nothing serious."
Gu Jia picked up her bag and patted Zhong Xiaoqin's head to comfort her:
"Besides, you just introduced him. Huanshan and I decided to hire Chen Xu because we found him to be quite good. It has nothing to do with you!"
"Yes, Xiaoqin!"
Seeing that Zhong Xiaoqin looked like she was about to cry, Wang Manni comforted her:
"Didn't we tell you on the phone? For making and selling counterfeit goods, at most you'll be fined and detained for a few days. It won't be a big deal!"
"Let's go!"
After wiping away Zhong Xiaoqin's tears, Gu Jia smiled and said:
"Let's go to the police station first to find out the situation, and we'll talk about other things when we come back!"
"good!"
