Chapter 115 Envious Affection
At this time, not far away on the bridge.
As staff members who organized this grand and beautiful fireworks show, Yang Lan and several other secretary assistants were naturally watching the scene from a distance, and of course there was a lot of discussion.
"Boss Gu is so generous. A full half-hour fireworks show and millions of dollars were just wasted. It makes me so sad to see it."
"Oh yeah, when Mr. Gu asked me to organize a fireworks show, I thought I heard it wrong and stupidly asked him again. I never thought Mr. Gu could be so romantic."
"I also think that those who say they're unromantic straight men are simply too lazy to bother with you. Look at President Gu. Before he met Miss Wen, he was a cold and ruthless work machine. Even when a female celebrity stripped naked and ran into his bed, he would throw her out without mercy! But when he met Miss Wen, he hurriedly left the drinking party halfway, rushing to accompany her for a walk to watch the fireworks."
"If this isn't love, then I don't know what is!"
"Wow, it's exactly like the scene in the novel. Mr. Gu is so doting on girls by making them happy like this."
"Ahhh, I really envy that Miss Wen."
"Tsk, isn't Wen Ning just prettier and smarter? But I heard she spent three years in a mental hospital. Isn't that a psycho? I really don't understand what Mr. Gu likes about her!"
"Hush—are you crazy? How dare you say that? Have you forgotten Riemann's lesson?"
A few people were discussing the CEO's gossip enthusiastically, but when they mentioned Riemann, they all fell silent, and their faces looked a little unhappy.
It's simple. As the president's secretary, Riemann doesn't want to shine at work, but instead wants to use his position to seduce the president.
Originally, due to some rumors about secretaries and mistresses, the image of secretaries was not very good. Now that the Riemann incident has been exposed, it will undoubtedly make the secretariat's already bad reputation even worse.
Therefore, when most people learned that Gu Boyan had decisively fired Li Man and held her accountable for breach of contract for her overstepping the boundaries, they did not sympathize.
The only person who had a good relationship with Riemann was the female secretary Li Meng, and one felt a little sorry for her.
She had a good relationship with Li Man and didn't think that Li Man had made a big mistake. She just felt that Li Man had devoted her whole heart to Gu Boyan and was a little obsessed.
She looked at Gu Boyan and Wen Ning standing side by side watching the fireworks from afar, and took out her cell phone to take a photo.
Then he went to a secluded place and sent the photo to Riemann.
【Manman, have you returned to China now? 】
If you are short of money, tell me. I have some spare cash that I can give to you.
[Mr. Gu even prepared a fireworks show for Miss Wen tonight. The two of them standing together look quite a good match, don't they?]
[I know you may feel sad when I say this, but I am your good friend and I really don't want to see you sink deeper and deeper into a hopeless relationship.]
[A man like Mr. Gu, standing at the top of the pyramid, is not something that ordinary girls like us can aspire to be.]
[You're still so young and pretty, there are tons of guys in the company who want to pursue you. If you lower your expectations a little, you'll definitely find a good match.]
At this moment, the woman huddled in the corner of the dim room stared at the phone screen with her red eyes.
In that photo, under the grand and gorgeous fireworks, the girl's face was full of smiles, and she raised her hand to point at the fireworks excitedly, while the man next to her tilted his head slightly and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Even though we were at such a distance and through a lens, I could still clearly see the deep affection in the man's eyes.
Why!
Why!
Why!
Wen Ning is just a country bumpkin from the mountains. He even spent three years in a mental hospital. Once upon a time, he was so shameless as to be someone else's mistress and seduced someone else's boyfriend. How could such a person be worthy of Gu Boyan!
The more Riemann thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the crazier he became.
Suddenly, a trace of madness flashed in her eyes. She yelled and threw the phone to the floor, then picked up the vase beside her and smashed it hard on the phone screen!
With two clicks, the screen broke into pieces.
But despite this, the affection and love in the photo have not diminished in the slightest!
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside, followed by concerned greetings.
"Manman, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh my, what's going on again!"
"You were just fired from Gu's. Dad didn't agree with you going there to be a secretary. Come home and let Dad arrange for you to work in his own company. You can be whatever you want."
The Li family's main industries are all in Country A. Although the company is not very large and cannot be compared with leading enterprises like Gu's, it is much better than ordinary small enterprises.
They only have this one precious daughter. Two years ago, they watched helplessly as she lowered her status to work as a secretary at Gu's. Now she was fired by Gu's and left in such an humiliating way. Naturally, they are very dissatisfied with Gu's.
But now seeing Riemann going crazy, he could only comfort her with a mixture of heartache and anger.
But Riemann didn't listen at all. He picked up the photo frame beside him and smashed the screen, which had already turned into snowflakes.
"Wen Ning is a bitch. How can she be worthy of Gu Boyan? I am no better than her in any way. Why can't Gu Boyan see me?"
"It's all Wen Ning's fault, that vixen. She was the one who used some despicable trick behind the scenes to seduce Gu Boyan. Ah, if it weren't for her, Gu Boyan would definitely fall in love with me!"
Having said that, a ray of hope suddenly flashed in Riemann's scarlet eyes.
"Yes, as long as Wen Ning is completely destroyed..."
"Manman!" Father Li looked at his daughter who was crazy about love with some disbelief.
Li Man cried loudly, "Dad, Mom, I won't give up!"
Li's mother looked at Li Man in such pain. As a woman, she certainly understood Li Man's unwillingness and said cruelly, "Man Man, don't cry. Mom will definitely teach her a lesson for you!"
.......
In the next few days, Gu Boyan was still busy with work during the day, and turned down various social engagements at night to accompany Wen Ning for dinner and to enjoy the night view.
Wen Ning originally thought that things would become a little awkward after the relationship between the two was exposed.
But when they actually got along with each other, she didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, it was very natural and relaxed. She also looked forward to being with Gu Boyan a little bit.
After four days of this, Gu Boyan had basically finished his work, which meant that he could spend the rest of his time with Wen Ning.
Of course, Gu Boyan is also very generous to his employees.
The employees who came on business trips were given a few days off. They can choose to continue traveling in Country A or return to China early during these days.
For the employees, of course they would stay in Country A and have fun!
Therefore, the employees who usually looked calm and capable were all very happy and excitedly ran to Wen Ning to express their gratitude.
"Miss Wen, thank you so much."
"If you weren't here, we would have rushed to finish our work overseas and immediately flown back to China to continue working."
"Yeah, yeah, when I think back to the twenty-plus days I worked on it, I feel like the sky is falling!"
Wen Ning was puzzled. "Is A Yan such a strict person?"
When he was tutoring her, she had only three months to go before the college entrance exam, so time was tight and the workload was heavy. But Gu Boyan never told her to cut down on her rest time to study, but instead reminded her to balance work and rest.
Yang Lan smiled and said, "Mr. Gu certainly treats us ordinary employees and Miss Wen differently."
"Yes, I've been working at Gu's for several years, and I've rarely seen him smile. But whenever he's in front of Miss Wen, Mr. Gu's face becomes gentle!"
In the past few days, these secretarial assistants have gathered together more than once to give Gu Boyan advice on how to create surprises to please Wen Ning. As a result, they have had more contact with Wen Ning and have become more casual in their conversations.
Suddenly someone asked, "Ningning, where are you planning to go with Mr. Gu in the next few days?"
"Let's go to the slums and take a look." Wen Ning replied.
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. They never expected that the two would actually go to such a place.
Wen Ning didn't explain much.
She believes that a journalist should not only record the beauty of the world, but also the dark, depressing and painful places that deserve to be recorded.
But Gu Boyan was worried about her going alone, and Wen Ning was not a careless person, so she waited patiently for Gu Boyan to finish the things at hand, and then the two of them would go together!
Soon, Gu Boyan finished explaining things and came to find Wen Ning. After saying hello, the few of them immediately dispersed.
After Li Meng left, she sent another message to Riemann.
[Manman, Mr. Gu and Ningning are planning to go to the slums today. If you want to witness their love with your own eyes, go ahead.]
[Once you've seen with your own eyes how much Mr. Gu likes Miss Wen and how well they match each other, you'll give up and stop being so stubborn.]
After receiving the news, Riemann raised the corners of his mouth into a ferocious arc.
How could she give up when she was outshined by a bitch who was no match for her in every way?
As long as Gu Boyan sees Wen Ning's dirty and vulgar appearance with his own eyes, he will definitely hate her!
Then, you will be able to see the beauty in her.
Just thinking of this, Riemann's eyes began to flash with slightly crazy starlight.
.......
Wen Ning has always had the impression that slums are crowded, cramped, lack clean water and electricity, and are dirty and messy.
But when he really stood on this land, Wen Ning didn't care much about the condition of the house or the environment. What he cared more about was the gloomy eyes of the people living here, without a trace of hope.
Even in the mountains, the villagers have a desire for land and a desire to have enough food to eat, but the people in the slums seem to live just for the sake of living.
Gu Boyan looked at Wen Ning with a frown and explained to her, "The slums in Country A are not only poor, but also full of crime. Theft, robbery, and fighting are all very common. If there is even a slight hope of leaving here, no one would want to survive here."
Wen Ning nodded softly, and then he saw a dirty little boy in front of him. Almost half of his small body was buried in the trash can, rummaging around.
But the trash can had been turned over many times, so there was nothing edible in it.
The little boy searched for a long time but couldn't find anything to eat, so he sat down next to the trash can. He was about five or six years old, but there was no innocence in his eyes, instead they were dead.
He seemed to notice that Wen Ning and his group were looking at him.
But he only raised his eyes for a moment before lowering them again in a lifeless manner.
The extreme lack of food made him lose interest in everything.
Wen Ning's heart moved slightly. He walked over and said in fluent foreign language, "I want you to be a model for a photo shoot and I'll pay you with bread. Is that okay?"
The little boy looked at the brightly dressed people in front of him, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and then he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to them and apologized with a smile.
Wen Ning paused holding the camera, suddenly feeling a little lost.
Gu Boyan said, "Country A has a clear class system. Many people come to the slums just to bully these people for fun."
The little boy probably saw that they were dressed in fancy clothes and thought that they were going to humiliate him, so he wanted to let them humiliate him to their heart's content and then reward him with a piece of bread.
Wen Ning felt uncomfortable listening to this.
I can’t help but think that such dark corners are everywhere.
Children and women like her who were trafficked into the mountains would have been locked in the mountains as reproductive machines for their entire lives if she had not been lucky enough to be rescued.
Gu Boyan suddenly put his arm around Wen Ning's shoulders and said to her comfortingly, "Many things can't be rushed."
Wen Ning raised his eyes and glanced at him, "I know."
Wen Ning raised his camera, found an angle, and took a picture of the little boy eating bread, while Gu Boyan continued walking along the road in the slums.
"Stop, catch the thief!"
"Don't run, help me catch her!"
Suddenly, there was a noise in front, and soon, a thief in tattered clothes ran towards them with a bag, followed by a lot of people.
Some of them didn't look at the thief in front of them, but kept staring at Wen Ning, and deliberately ran towards them.
Gu Boyan was quick to pull Wen Ning into his arms, and Zhao Gang and several bodyguards immediately stepped forward.
Wen Ning looked at the scene in front of her and suddenly recalled what Gu Boyan had just introduced to her about the slums. Here, all kinds of theft, robbery, and other crimes were almost commonplace.
But, how could a random thief attract so many caring people to help hunt him down?
Wen Ning frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
Gu Boyan glanced around with cold eyes, his aura becoming increasingly terrifying. He then said to Wen Ning, "It's getting late. Let's go back first."
Wen Ning had no objection. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Ayan, let's take the main road."
A hint of smile flashed across Gu Boyan's eyes, and he agreed, "Okay."
However, what they didn't expect was that this group of people were so arrogant that they surrounded them directly on the main road of the slum.
