At eighteen, Gu Miaomiao was arrogant and domineering, trampling Jiang Yanbai's self-esteem and treating him like a dog.
At twenty-five, Gu Miaomiao knelt on the ground, humiliatingly col...
Chapter 102: A Man of Distinction
He leaned forward slightly, locking her firmly in his grasp.
"From now on, you can participate in any meeting I attend."
Lin Qing felt his breath was choked.
This is tantamount to promoting her directly into the core of power of the Jiang Group.
This was an honor she had never dared to dream of before.
She blurted out.
"Really? Brother Yanbai, I didn't expect you to trust me so much!"
Jiang Yanbai smiled at her, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"yes."
Lin Qing was overwhelmed by this sudden trust, and the sense of happiness almost overwhelmed her.
But at this moment, a name emerged uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart.
She bit her lower lip and asked cautiously.
"Then... Miss Gu, will she come too?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Jiang Yanbai's deep eyes.
"She has her own job, why would she come?"
Lin Qing's face showed just the right amount of surprise.
"So Miss Gu has a job."
She lowered her eyes, confusion lingering in her voice.
"Ms. Gu came to me today and said she wanted to know about some of the company's business issues."
"She also looked at my computer for quite a while."
"I thought... I thought she was going to take over the company, so I promised her that I would let her know if there were any new job changes in the future."
What business does Gu Baozhu know about?
Doubts suddenly surged in Jiang Yanbai's heart.
His eyes grew cold, and his voice was oppressive.
"Did she say anything else besides this?"
Lin Qing immediately shook his head, his eyes full of innocence.
"there is none left."
Jiang Yanbai stopped looking at her, reached out and picked up the notebook.
The movements are crisp and clear.
"Okay, I understand."
He stood up and looked down at her.
"If she comes to you again next time, remember to tell me what she said or did first."
When Lin Qing heard this, he lowered his eyes to hide all his emotions.
The corner of his mouth curled up into an imperceptible, complacent arc.
Gu Baozhu, how dare you use chicken feathers as a token of authority?
Just wait and see how Brother Yanbai will scold you next time!
She raised her head, her face showing complete submission.
"Okay, Brother Yanbai."
Jiang Yanbai took the computer, turned around and walked out of the assistant's office.
As soon as the door closed, a figure stepped forward in the corridor.
It was his confidant, Lin Yi.
"Mr. Jiang."
Lin Yi's expression was a little solemn.
"There is something I don't know whether I should tell you."
Jiang Yanbai stopped and turned his face to the side. His cold lines seemed even sharper under the light of the corridor.
"You've been following me for so long, and you still don't know what to say and what not to say?"
Lin Yi lowered his head, sweat oozing from his forehead.
"This matter is about Miss Gu."
When Jiang Yanbai heard that name, the pressure around him dropped a little.
"If you have anything to say, tell me now."
Lin Yi lowered his voice very low, as if he was afraid that the wall would hear him.
"After you left today, Miss Gu was in your office..."
He paused, choosing his words.
"She used your computer and looked at it for a long time."
This matter is of no small importance.
If I don't tell Mr. Jiang, if Miss Gu sees something in the computer that she shouldn't be seeing, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Lin Yi's words instantly overlapped with Lin Qing's previous remarks in Jiang Yanbai's mind.
One was a coincidence.
Twice, it was premeditated.
Jiang Yanbai remained silent.
He didn't say anything, his mind lost in thought.
What does that woman want to do?
The cold light at the end of the corridor made Jiang Yanbai's figure look even lonelier and colder.
Lin Yi looked at his tense profile, thought for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Boss Jiang, maybe... Miss Gu just wants to share the company's worries."
"If you don't like it, I will remind her next time not to touch your things."
Jiang Yanbai raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
"No need."
"If she wants to see it, let her see it."
"You just need to keep an eye on her and tell me everything she sees and does."
I want to see what she wants to do at this time. Is she simply looking to join the company, or does she have other intentions?
Lin Yi's heart trembled and he immediately lowered his head.
"yes!"
Jiang Yanbai didn't stop, took the laptop and strode away.
…
Jiang family villa.
Jiang Yanbai went straight up to the second floor.
He pushed open the door that imprisoned her.
Inside the door, there was neither the hysteria he had imagined nor the lifeless hunger strike.
The lights were bright and the dining table was filled with exquisite dishes.
Gu Miaomiao was sitting at the table, eating her meal in small bites with a well-behaved attitude.
Jiang Yan's eyebrows furrowed.
"Why are you eating so well all of a sudden?"
Hearing the voice, Gu Miaomiao put down her chopsticks and looked back at him.
Her eyes lit up, and she stood up and walked naturally to his side.
"You asked Aunt Wang to cook for me, right? These are all my favorites."
Her tone was full of innocent familiarity, as if there had never been a blood feud between them.
Jiang Yanbai placed the laptop in his hand heavily on the table next to him.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze like a knife, cutting across her face.
What is this woman acting?
Gu Miaomiao felt uneasy when he looked at her. She subconsciously lowered her head and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Her hand gently climbed up his arm, her fingertips warm and swaying slightly.
"I'm not full yet. Wait until I'm done eating... before I start working, okay?"
She spoke the last few words softly and flatteringly.
Jiang Yanbai moved his arm and pulled his hand back without leaving a trace.
He walked to the bed and sat down, legs crossed, his posture indifferent.
"eat."
Gu Miaomiao had no choice but to sit back at the table and pick up the chopsticks again.
But the dishes on the table that were once her favorite tasted like chewing wax.
That sharp gaze was always fixed on her, making her feel very uncomfortable.
She couldn't help it, so she raised her eyes quietly and glanced at him quickly.
The moment the man noticed, he stood up suddenly.
"If you don't want to eat, put it down!"
The ivory chopsticks in Gu Miaomiao's hand fell onto the plate with a thud.
Instead of flinching, she raised her head and met his gloomy gaze.
The timidity in those beautiful peach blossom eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by a coquettish smile.
She snorted softly.
"What are you talking about?"
"I want to see you, is there anything wrong with that?"
This woman.
She was a frightened rabbit one second and a seductive fairy the next.
Jiang Yanbai stretched out his long arms, roughly pulled her up from the dining table, and pulled her directly into his arms.
The bump of his solid chest made her nose ache.
His hot fingers pinched her small chin and forced her to look up.
"Do you have multiple personalities?"
He spoke each word with a dangerous tone.
"Your expression changes faster than turning a page of a book."
Gu Miaomiao frowned in pain, but did not dodge.
She exhaled softly towards his handsome face which was so close to her, a breath that was warm and ambiguous.
"I'm calling him a man of insight."
Her voice was soft and sticky.
"As long as you don't hit me, I'll do anything."
