Chapter 234 Checking Up
Gu Suixing has been at the new company for the past few days, and he brought Lu Fengqing here with him from the new company as well.
A cool and stylish Rolls-Royce Phantom came to a stop at the company entrance. Lu Fengqing, wearing sunglasses worth six figures and ten-centimeter diamond-encrusted stilettos, had just gotten out of the car and hadn't even had a chance to exude her imposing aura when Gu Suixing suddenly put his arm around her shoulder and gestured for her to look to the right.
Lu Fengqing: "What?"
Gu Suixing raised his chin. "Can't you read?"
Lu Fengqing: "..."
The new company, Huaixing Technology, is located in this emerging science city next to Chaoxing Technology. Looking up, you can see the two characters "Chaoxing" hanging on the outside of the twin towers of Chaoxing Technology's headquarters, as well as Chaoxing Technology's business logo.
Lu Fengqing asked, "And then?"
Gu Suixing: "Nod and acknowledge him as our father, and he'll be ours from now on."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Ever since Gu Jinhong divided the family property, Gu Suixing seemed to have suddenly become enlightened.
Self-sufficiency is good, but if there's a bargain to be had, why not take it? Although money eventually becomes just a number, there's nothing wrong with having a large number; after all, a house built of diamonds is always more beautiful than one made of red bricks and glass.
Only sparkly patterns fit her aesthetic.
Lu Fengqing: "Wouldn't it be the same if you became his son?"
Back in the Xie family manor in City C, she had heard Huo Huai'an say that the man had no children and his nephews had no interest in business. The man had always intended to groom Gu Suixing as his successor, but Gu Suixing was determined to rely on herself and was unwilling to accept the offer.
“That won’t do,” Gu Suixing laughed. “If I go and become his son again, wouldn’t that be incest between us?”
"..."
Lu Fengqing had nothing to say, she just wanted him to get lost.
Still in mourning period, Lu Fengqing didn't dress too brightly, but she still wore all the jewelry she was supposed to, and her outfit was still quite valuable—since she got an ATM, her outfit had been upgraded from the value of an apartment in the city center to that of a courtyard house.
According to Gu Suixing, as long as she agrees to acknowledge him as her father, she will not only be able to live in a courtyard house, but also have access to a luxury cruise ship.
Lu Fengqing disagreed with this.
She's not interested in luxury cruise ships unless they're made of diamonds.
...
Assistant Fang had been waiting at the main entrance for a while. When he first saw the soon-to-be boss's wife, who was radiating jewels, he was shocked, but surprisingly, he was not at all surprised.
A young lady is still a young lady; she may not need flashing lights, but she must have the prestige.
Seeing that his boss and his fiancée had finished their conversation, Assistant Fang stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gu, Ms. Lu, good morning."
Behind Assistant Fang, all the employees in the company lobby craned their necks to look towards the entrance.
Gu Suixing was already quite eye-catching, and these past few days at the new company, the female employees practically glued their eyes to their boss. Today, the boss actually brought a stunningly beautiful woman, radiating brilliance, to work. While the female employees were heartbroken, their gossip instincts were ignited.
I met the young master not long ago. Could this be the legendary proprietress?
Gossip from the scene spread through various group chats across the company.
Lu Fengqing was in a good mood today and stopped to greet Assistant Fang: "Good morning, Assistant Fang, it's been a long time."
“Not long,” Assistant Fang said. “No more than 65 days.”
Lu Fengqing was somewhat surprised, "Assistant Fang has a really good memory."
Gu Suixing's slightly cool gaze fell on Assistant Fang.
Assistant Fang adjusted his glasses. "Just polite talk. Miss Lu, take it with a grain of salt." Don't take it to heart.
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Gu Suixing then looked away and said, "Let's go in."
Huo Huai'an, who arrived half an hour earlier than the two, received the message in his office on the top floor. He calculated that they should be coming up soon, opened the office door, and leaned against the door.
The elevator doors opened, and Gu Suixing led Lu Fengqing out of the elevator.
Huo Huai'an glanced at Lu Fengqing and clicked his tongue, "I just saw the company employees discussing in the group chat that President Gu brought a mobile jewelry display case to work today. I was curious about what was going on. Turns out it was Miss Lu who graced us with her presence."
"Mobile Jewelry Display Case": "..."
Assistant Fang lowered her head, using the motion of pushing up her glasses to conceal the curve of her lips.
Gu Suixing naturally had to speak up for his wife: "She's at most a mannequin in a jewelry display case."
Lu Fengqing: "..." You can shut up now!
"President Gu, President Huo, the meeting is about to start." Secretary Cui stood a few steps away from them, holding the meeting materials.
The company has a routine morning meeting, and with the upcoming launch of a new product, there are more meetings than usual.
This is the first smart product launched by the new company. Whether it can gain a good reputation depends on the results of this "first battle". Almost everyone in the company is on high alert. Even Gu Suixing, the irresponsible boss, has come over these past few days.
Gu Suixing lowered his head and said to Lu Fengqing, "I'm going to a meeting. I'll have Assistant Fang show you around."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Fang knew that he didn't need to attend the meeting this morning and could focus on being a tour guide for the future boss's wife.
Lu Fengqing waved her hand. "Go ahead."
Huo Huai'an went back to his office to get the meeting materials, tossed Lu Fengqing a "Let's have lunch together" message, and got into the elevator.
Secretary Cui walked at the back, giving Lu Fengqing a polite smile.
As we passed each other, a familiar fragrance wafted by.
Lu Fengqing frowned.
As the elevator descended, Lu Fengqing asked Assistant Fang, "Who was that just now?"
"Secretary Cui," Assistant Fang replied, then keenly sensed something.
Lu Fengqing: "Where is Gu Suixing's office?"
Assistant Fang: "Ms. Lu, this way please."
Upon entering Gu Suixing's office, Lu Fengqing sat down on the sofa. "Assistant Fang, could you please fetch the information on Secretary Cui?"
Assistant Fang: "...Okay. Please wait a moment."
He finally understood why this young lady had suddenly graced him with her presence today.
It seems they heard something and came to check up on things.
For the assistant, accessing and reviewing the personal information of company employees is just a matter of moving a finger.
To make it easier for the young lady to access the information, Assistant Fang printed out Secretary Cui's file.
Lu Fengqing flipped through the documents and casually asked, "How were you recruited?"
Lu Fengqing's sixth sense was always very accurate, and she intuitively felt that the perfume on Gu Suixing's body came from Secretary Cui.
That scoundrel wouldn't dare touch other women; that level of fragrance wouldn't even stick to him with just a light touch.
She spent her days dealing with cunning socialites and had seen countless tricks, such as staining clothes with scents, sometimes without physical contact.
This is quite a story. Assistant Fang replied, "Secretary Cui was recommended by Manager Cui from the Marketing Department. She is Manager Cui's sister."
Lu Fengqing: "How are your personal business skills?"
Assistant Fang: "Excellent."
The company conducts monthly mini-evaluations and quarterly major evaluations, and the year-end bonus depends on these evaluations.
Secretary Cui's KPI scores are all excellent so far.
Lu Fengqing: "Single?"
Assistant Fang: "...He should be single."
She works overtime at the company until late at night every day, and doesn't seem like someone who has a boyfriend.
Lu Fengqing smiled and asked again, "Is she one of your subordinates?"
Assistant Fang: "...Yes."
He is Gu Suixing's assistant, but his actual position in the company is secretary, and he manages the entire secretariat.
Lu Fengqing put down the documents. "I'm not an unreasonable person."
Assistant Fang's eyelids twitched; she had a gut feeling that what the future boss's wife was about to say wouldn't be anything nice.
