My money-grubbing mother, through moral manipulation, made me join the male lead's company...

Chapter 40 Selection

Gu Liji's small achievement was nothing in their eyes; it was just a casual question.

"Liji has become sensible. It seems that having someone he likes has naturally made him understand responsibility." Ye Zhi praised with a smile, picked up a piece of yam and placed it in Gu Rongqi's bowl, then looked at him, "Since Liji has someone he likes, and you, as his older brother, are not getting any younger, there are a few girls from prestigious families who are quite nice and you could get to know them."

She then looked at Gu Liji: "Liji can also take a look; if there's a suitable one, give it a try."

Gu Liji said firmly, "Auntie, I have someone I like."

"Isn't that girl dating that kid from the Lu family? Besides, her family background isn't that great."

Gu Liji dared not refute, and could only whisper, "Su Ni is quite outstanding."

Ye Zhi remained noncommittal, then turned to look at Gu Rongqi, "Among these people is the daughter of Yuandu Group who just returned from abroad and is preparing to join the company for training. I heard she is quite capable."

"Or it could be the granddaughter of Andaler Company, who is a year older than you, but her decisive and efficient personality has helped Andaler's market value increase significantly in recent years."

Gu Rongqi felt annoyed upon hearing this, but being used to hiding his emotions in front of his parents, he didn't say much.

Gu Liji hesitated, looking at his brother with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Seeing that Gu Rongqi hadn't made a decision yet, Gu Lubo put down his chopsticks: "Since it's hard to choose, then I'll ask Li Gui to make time for you to meet each girl."

Seeing that Gu Rongqi hadn't even spoken about it, and his uncle and aunt had already made the decision, Gu Liji couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Brother isn't that old, there's no need to panic."

"You have to be careful about these kinds of things. I have a friend who was pressured by her parents and the man they introduced her to was a complete jerk. In the end, I had to help her break up with him."

Qianzhi glanced at him, and Guliji immediately fell silent.

Gu Rongqi said calmly, "Mom, I'll find time to see you."

Since Gu Rongqi had agreed, they wouldn't say anything more, since he would never fail to keep a promise he made to them since they were children.

After the meal, Grubber and Chichi left.

"Brother, why did you call me over? I was terrified when I saw Uncle and Aunt." Gu Liji patted his chest, still shaken.

Gu Rongqi chuckled: "It hasn't happened yet, has it?"

"Brother, are you really going on a blind date?"

Gu Rongqi remained silent.

"Blind dates aren't a good idea; it's best to find someone you like." Gu Liji had a very deep impression of Cheng Qicai, that pretentious show-off.

He couldn't help but think of Yun Suni again. If it weren't for her, he might have been introduced to someone of similar family background as Gu Rongqi, and married into the same family as his parents, and then each went their own way.

Gu Rongqi's memory returned to that night at the noodle shop. Cheng Qicai seemed to have said something similar. He asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"A blind date? It's Cheng Qicai!" Gu Liji revealed Cheng Qicai's blind date history in one fell swoop, and finally sighed: "Not much skill, but quite the PUA technique."

"You refused?"

"He refused. Cheng Qicai has blocked and deleted him." Gu Liji noticed that after he said this, Gu Rongqi's brows seemed to relax a little.

...

"Why do you cosplay as a bitter gourd every day? Yesterday it was a small bitter gourd, today it's a big bitter gourd." Lin Fengjie asked again, looking at his listless appearance.

Cheng Qicai looked distressed. "Sigh, my mom found out about yesterday's incident and gave me a good scolding. She even told me to bring my boyfriend home, but where am I supposed to get a boyfriend?!"

"Just find someone to impersonate you. It's only for one day anyway. After that, just make up some excuse to say you broke up," Lin Fengjie suggested.

Cheng Qicai thought the suggestion was feasible, but she was troubled by the choice of candidates. "Who should I ask? I don't know many people in City A."

Lin Fengjie said, "Why don't you go find President Gu? After all, he's the one who came up with this."

Cheng Qicai secretly pondered the feasibility of Gu Liji's suggestion. Just asking Gu Liji to help impersonate someone for a day should be enough, right?

She knocked on Gu Liji's office door and explained the matter to him.

But Gu Liji flatly refused, "No, I have to go to Su Ni's birthday party too. Besides, if I pretend to be your boyfriend and then Su Ni and I get together, what will her parents think when they see that I'm your ex-boyfriend? Wouldn't that offend her parents?"

Cheng Qicai was speechless. She hadn't even had dinner yet, and she was already dreaming.

At that moment, she desperately wanted to spoil the ending for him.

Then shout at him loudly, "You have no chance! You still have to attend Lu Qi and Yun Suni's wedding and watch them exchange rings and kiss each other!"

But she held back, even though the plot was already a mess, she didn't want to get involved.

If Gu Liji realizes he can't succeed and resorts to force or robbery, then she will be a sinner.

Cheng Qicai returned to her office, holding her breath.

Lin Fengjie saw her return looking like a wilted eggplant and asked, "What? You didn't agree?"

She shook her head.

"Then let's find someone else! It's not a big deal."

“I don’t know many people in City A, so…” Cheng Qicai’s gaze suddenly fixed on Lin Fengjie.

Lin Fengjie was a little frightened by her gaze and took a few steps back. "What?"

"Brother Lin, please help me! I beg you, I'll serve you like a slave in my next life!" Cheng Qicai cried as she rushed forward and grabbed his clothes. "You're my master! I believe you wouldn't abandon your disciple to die!"

Lin Fengjie pulled her away with a headache, "No, my girlfriend and I are at a crucial time in getting back together."

Cheng Qicai was shocked by this and couldn't help but ask, "Wait, your girlfriend has taken a liking to that ugly doll?"

Lin Fengjie's face darkened instantly, and Cheng Qicai realized that she had touched a nerve with her brother Lin.

You spoke too fast.

She smiled apologetically at Lin Fengjie, but still asked persistently, "Do you have anyone suitable to help me?"

"No."

The speed at which they refused was something they hadn't even considered.

Cheng Qicai looked at the heartless man with resentment.

Without any help, let her destroy everything in the next couple of days!

When Cheng Qicai came downstairs from the company, she ran into Gu Rongqi, who was waiting to come down from the private elevator.

"President Gu!" Cheng Qicai greeted him as she walked by, guessing that he must be looking for Gu Liji. She didn't linger and headed towards the door after saying hello.

"Cheng Qicai!" Gu Rongqi called out to her in a clear and resonant voice.

Cheng Qicai turned around and looked at Gu Rongqi with a puzzled expression, wondering why he had called her back.

"Wait here for a moment, I have something for you."

After Gu Rongqi finished speaking, he entered the elevator.

Cheng Qicai sat on the sofa in the living room, completely bewildered, not knowing how long she would have to wait.

Ugh, I was called off work just in time to leave.
