Chapter 308: I Won’t Find a Substitute (1/2)



A very common question.

But when Gu Jingchen asked this question, Su An was frightened for a moment.

Why on earth did he notice so many details about her?

Have you started to doubt her?

Su An didn't dare to think about it too much, nor did he dare to delay speaking for too long, his brain was working rapidly.

Soon, she found a suitable reason.

"Mr. Gu, I'm not nearsighted. I wear glasses for a reason..."

Su An paused for two seconds before pretending to be embarrassed and continued, "It was because during the interview, I thought wearing glasses made me look more mature, so I kept wearing them afterwards... Doesn't Assistant Tang also wear glasses occasionally..."

Gu Jingchen, “…”

The reason Su An gave was flawless.

Moreover, the assistant is only responsible for assisting him in his work. As long as he is dressed appropriately and wears a pair of glasses, there is really no need for Gu Jingchen to interfere.

A while——

"Don't wear it for now, put it away."

Gu Jingchen didn't say anything more and returned his eyes to Su An.

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

Su An took it hurriedly, but he didn't feel relaxed at all.

Gu Jingchen paid special attention to her, and she could already feel it.

Maybe it was because he almost recognized her from the back when they first met, so he paid special attention to her?

Although she was sure that her disguise had no flaws, she still had to be more careful next time to avoid arousing greater suspicion.

Su An thought about it and followed Gu Jingchen cautiously, not daring to relax at all.

He didn't say anything else to Gu Jingchen after that.

The two of them came downstairs. The driver was not there, so Su An drove directly to the hotel where the banquet was held.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the hotel.

Just before entering the door, Gu Jingchen suddenly stopped and asked, "Did Tang Ze tell you what party he was attending tonight?"

"I did."

Su An hurriedly replied, repeating Tang Ze's words carefully without missing a word, "Assistant Tang said that today is Mr. Dong's birthday banquet, and the gift has been sent. My task tonight is to be Mr. Gu's assistant and female companion."

"Um."

Gu Jingchen nodded, very satisfied with Su An's answer, and didn't ask any more questions.

Then he took him in.

The elevator reached the top floor.

As soon as the door was opened a little, a huge noise came through the narrow gap.

Amidst the bright lights, people gathered together with their wine glasses, and it was quite lively.

Su An immediately perked up and followed Gu Jingchen out.

After just a few steps, the two of them immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Mr. Gu! Long time no see!"

Someone came over with a glass of wine and greeted Gu Jingchen.

Before he could finish his words, another extremely loud voice came over.

"Jingchen! You're too late!"

Su An subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.

It turned out to be Ye Shaoqi!

Why is he here too?

She habitually wanted to reach out to adjust her glasses, but her fingertips touched the corner of her eye directly. Only then did she realize that there was nothing covering her face at all.

Although it's impossible to be recognized, it's still a bit stressful to be unprepared and face someone you know.

As Su An was thinking, Ye Shaoqi had already walked up to him with a wine glass.

His eyes also fell on her, and he looked around with interest.

"Jingchen, this is..."

"Hello, I'm Xia Xiaomo, Mr. Gu's assistant."

Su An hurriedly took the initiative to introduce himself, then looked at Gu Jingchen with some confusion, his eyes asking how to address Ye Shaoqi.

Then I heard——

"Oh oh oh, you, I'm Ye Shaoqi."

"Second Young Master Ye."

Su An then took the opportunity to call him by his honorific title.

The Ye family's status in the imperial capital was not much different from that of the Gu family, so it didn't seem strange that she recognized them directly.

Neither Ye Shaoqi nor Gu Jingchen said anything.

The person who came to chat with him just now knew that his relationship with Gu Jingchen could not compare with Ye Shaoqi, so after exchanging a few pleasantries, he left tactfully.

The other party just left.

Ye Shaoqi immediately teased him, "I've heard you were going to hire another assistant, but I didn't expect you to act so quickly, and... she's such a beautiful woman?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Su An up and down without any hesitation.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he suddenly frowned slightly.

"you……"

Ye Shaoqi murmured a word in a low voice, and then suddenly put on a smile again, and said to Su An, "Miss Xia, could you please help us get two glasses of red wine over there?"

Su An subconsciously looked at Gu Jingchen.

Now he had no intention of stopping her, so he nodded and said, "Hey, I'll go right away."

After saying that, she turned and headed towards the farthest bar.

Here, each type of wine is classified and placed on a different table. Ye Shaoqi deliberately picked the red wine that was the farthest away, probably to get it away so that he could talk to Gu Jingchen alone.

But it doesn't matter. Her mission tonight is to find a way to make Gu Jingchen drink the "spiked" wine.

Su An took a deep breath and couldn't help but clench the small handbag in her hand.

far away--

Ye Shaoqi looked at Su An's back as he walked away, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

After staring at her for a few more seconds, he tentatively asked, "President Gu, can I interview you? What are your requirements for your assistant's appearance? Does she have to resemble your ex-wife in height and figure?"

Gu Jingchen paused when he heard this, and his face fell almost instantly, giving him a glare.

Ye Shaoqi snorted lightly.

"What's with that expression? I said something's wrong? Don't tell me you don't think her figure looks like Su An at all! I was wondering why you suddenly found a female assistant..."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became somewhat incredulous, "Gu Jingchen, are you kidding? You don't want to play a substitute..."

"Ye Shaoqi!"

Gu Jingchen listened to him talking more and more outrageously, and finally couldn't help but scold him in a low voice.

Then he said helplessly, "She is professional and passed the interviews of me and Tang Ze."

"Is it really just for professionalism?"

Ye Shaoqi looked suspicious and obviously didn't believe it.

Gu Jingchen was too lazy to pay attention to him. He glanced at him and stopped talking.

Qi Wei...

He wasn't sure of the answer either.

But one thing is certain.

That is, there is only An An in her heart, and she will never look for a substitute.

No one can replace her.

On the other side——

Su An deliberately walked slower to give the two time to talk.

Coming to the wine counter, she glanced at the row of red wines already poured in front of her, and thought about her plans for tonight.

It's too early now.
