Chapter 16 The Domineering CEO's Confused Wife
Meng Qiyue is the eldest daughter of the Meng family. From kindergarten to high school, she and Chu Xiang were classmates. Now in college, they are still classmates, but they are studying different majors. Chu Xiang is studying Chinese Language and Literature, while Meng Qiyue is studying Drama and Film Directing.
They could certainly say they grew up together, and to outsiders they are best friends, but only they themselves know the truth.
They didn't need any enthusiastic upperclassmen to lead the way; the two of them simply followed the road signs and headed forward.
Meng Qiyue asked curiously, "Isn't Gu Jue also at this school? Xiangxiang, why didn't I see him pick you up today? Did you two have a fight?"
Chu Xiang replied with a smile, "It's just registering for school. Why would I need him to pick me up? Besides, he's been busy learning to support himself lately."
Meng Qiyue sighed, "Xiangxiang, stop hiding it from me. I've heard that Gu Jue is having a lot of fun outside. Not long ago, he even went to the police station because of a woman. He doesn't care about you at all. Why are you still covering for him?"
Meng Qiyue continued, "I didn't mean to say that you're inferior to those women outside. Men, even if they have a fairy at home, will still find other women more interesting. Good men do exist, but they are too few. Xiangxiang, from a friend's point of view, I have to say that your taste in men is really bad."
Chu Xiang wasn't angry at all. Instead, she simply asked, "July, you've never been in a relationship, so how do you know so much?"
Meng Qiyue's smile paused for a moment. "It's just that I don't want to date. It's not that I can't find a man to date. Several guys have confessed to me recently, but I just don't think they're suitable, so I rejected them all."
"Oh, I see." Chu Xiang smiled innocently. "That's great! Next Valentine's Day, you definitely won't need me to share the chocolates with you."
Meng Qiyue gave a forced smile.
In fact, Meng Qiyue is beautiful and comes from a wealthy family, so she should have no shortage of suitors. But for some reason, Meng Qiyue seems to be immune to the opposite sex. Before Chu Xiang got engaged to Gu Jue, boys would secretly send Chu Xiang love letters, but Meng Qiyue never received any love letters.
Even Meng Qiyue herself didn't understand why she was so unpopular among the boys.
At her age, she should be longing for love, but since no one in real life is in a relationship, she spends all her time on those two-dimensional characters.
Meng Qiyue simply changed the subject, "Xiangxiang, we haven't seen each other for so long, let's go out for a meal together later."
Chu Xiang shook her head. "I made an appointment with Chu Huai. I'm going to pick him up at the station."
Chu Huai is Chu Xiang's younger brother, one year younger than her. He will be taking the college entrance examination next year, which is a very busy time for him. It's not easy for him to come out and play with Chu Xiang.
Meng Qiyue did not force the issue.
In the office building of the Gu family company, Gu Heng had just finished a meeting. As he walked out of the conference room, Assistant Yin followed him and talked about Gu Jue's recent situation.
Gu Jue has been staying in a small hotel for the past two days. Of course, he is feeling very cramped. In the past, even when he stayed outside, he stayed in five-star hotels. This time, he is staying in a dilapidated little hotel. I don't know how he is enduring it.
In fact, Chen Wanrou had tried to secretly transfer money to Gu Jue. However, before Gu Jue decided to leave home, Gu Heng had said, "If you can't hold on, you might as well come back and be your mother's good girl."
This statement was incredibly sarcastic, as if it made it clear that Gu Jue couldn't make a living outside.
Gu Jue was quite principled; he simply refused Chen Wanrou's transfer.
After listening to Gu Jue's recent situation, Gu Heng said in a calm tone, "Thank you for arranging a dormitory for him at university."
Assistant Yin replied, "Okay."
Gu Jue is still a student at University A, but he has never lived in a dormitory on campus. Gu Heng was also a student at University A, but he lived in a dormitory and ate in the cafeteria like an ordinary person. There's nothing wrong with letting Gu Jue experience the life of an ordinary person.
Gu Heng was going on a business trip to another province in the next few days. After the meeting, he planned to take the elevator downstairs to leave the company. Unfortunately, a girl carrying a coffee hurriedly walked over to the elevator.
Upon seeing someone there, she quickly asked, "Excuse me, has the meeting inside ended?"
The young girl was pretty and charming, dressed in professional attire, with an adorable air of someone trying to appear mature by wearing adult clothes.
She doesn't know President Gu?
Assistant Yin gave the girl a strange look; she was unfamiliar and he guessed she was a new intern.
Gu Heng did not intend to respond.
Assistant Yin said, "The meeting is over."
"Oh no! Oh no!" The girl was so anxious she was about to jump up and down. Her cute little face was full of panic. "The boss said this meeting was very important, and that cold-faced devil in the company would be coming too. He told me to prepare coffee. How could I forget!"
The cold-faced King of Hell.
Assistant Yin glanced at Gu Heng discreetly.
Gu Heng's expression remained unchanged; he didn't care at all about having such a nickname among his employees.
The girl was in a hurry to apologize to her boss, but she didn't expect to trip over her own feet. She swayed forward, and the coffee she was holding spilled towards Gu Heng.
At the same time, the elevator doors opened.
At the critical moment, Gu Heng entered the elevator, and the spilled coffee fell to the ground. With a "thud," the girl also fell to the ground.
Her brows furrowed, and she couldn't get up for a long time, muttering, "It hurts so much..."
Assistant Yin helped the person up. "Are you alright?"
The clumsy girl paused for a moment, then shook her head and said with a pitiful expression, "I'm fine, thank you..."
But looking at the mess on the ground, she slumped her shoulders in frustration.
Assistant Yin didn't have much time to talk to a new employee. He stepped into the elevator and saw Gu Heng looking at the girl. Assistant Yin suddenly remembered the novels his wife had been reading lately, such as "The Domineering CEO's Confused Wife".
Yes, in Gu Heng's eyes, a girl who is so carefree and impulsive is definitely rare. The more mistakes she makes, the more interesting the president finds her.
And so the story begins.
After all, Gu Heng rarely stares at one person. Assistant Yin felt he had figured it out; his boss was about to have a breakthrough.
The elevator doors closed.
Gu Heng: "Contact the personnel department and have her fired."
Assistant Yin: "Huh?"
Gu Heng looked at Assistant Yin.
Assistant Yin snapped out of her daze and said, "Oh, okay, I understand."
Even the employees who serve tea and water in their company are people who have been selected through their own abilities. Gu Heng is a perfectionist in everything, so of course he cannot tolerate an employee who cannot even do such a simple job well.
Assistant Yin was secretly relieved that he hadn't said anything wrong. He sent a message to the head of the human resources department, asking him to fire the rash employee and giving him a good reminder that they couldn't let employees with such simple minds and weak bodies join the company again.
Assistant Yin and Gu Heng were once students at the same school. Even years after graduation, he still keeps up with the school forum. Suddenly, a message popped up in the notification bar:
[The battle between red and white roses: Who will be crowned the new school beauty queen?]
The title caught his attention. Assistant Yin clicked on it and saw that the post, which already had many floors, contained a lot of photos.
Assistant Yin: "Isn't this Miss Chu?"
Gu Heng's eyebrows twitched slightly.
When Assistant Yin saw Gu Heng looking over, he handed him the phone. "It seems Miss Chu is quite popular at school. She's only here for registration, and she's already so popular. As for the girl in the red dress next to her, she must be the eldest daughter of the Meng family. I heard she and Miss Chu have a very good relationship."
Assistant Yin was indeed a very capable employee. Without Gu Heng saying anything, he had already found out everything related to Gu Jue and Chu Xiang.
Gu Heng took Assistant Yin's phone and saw the photos posted in the thread.
In the photo, Chu Xiang is queuing at the registration point. Perhaps because the line is too long, she has been waiting for a while, so she turns to the side and stands on tiptoe to look at the line in front of her. She puts her hands on her eyebrows to block the sunlight. It is a very ordinary action, but it has the innocence and cuteness of a little girl.
Assistant Yin smiled and sighed, "Speaking of which, it really brings back memories. Back when we were in college, every time there were new students, the journalism students would look for handsome men and beautiful women to choose between as the campus belle and the campus hunk. So many years have passed, and this tradition hasn't changed."
There was a poll below the post, which contained photos of more than ten girls, and each person had three chances to vote.
However, Gu Heng was definitely not interested in such things. Even when he was still in college, while other boys were discussing pretty girls, he was just spending his time in the library reading.
The elevator arrived at the first floor and the doors opened.
Gu Heng returned the phone to Assistant Yin and stepped out of the elevator.
Assistant Yin picked up the phone and was about to put it away when his eyes fell on the screen, and he paused in surprise.
In the voting area, the voting results for more than ten options were displayed, which meant that his account had already voted, hence the availability of the voting results.
Upon closer inspection, only option "1" has a light blue fill, while the other options "2" through "15" are gray.
Assistant Yin, not believing it, scrolled up and confirmed that the person in photo number "1" was indeed Chu Xiang.
He looked again at his boss's imposing figure walking in the light, wondering why Gu Heng would suddenly have the mind to get involved in something he considered boring? And why he even cast all his votes for the same person!
Could this be how a future uncle takes care of his younger brother and sister-in-law?
