Chapter 281 Farewell: Who Was Truly Heartless?
"But Miss Gu, didn't you want to harm him? Why are you suddenly giving him time to recover?"
Ah Huo didn't understand what Gu Mingxia was saying, but with his persistent spirit of asking questions when he didn't understand, he actively asked his questions.
Gu Mingxia put down her water glass, glanced casually at Ah Huo, and gestured for him to sit on the sofa.
“Since it’s acting, then it should be convincing. If you lend him money and then pressure him to pay you back the following month, wouldn’t that make it obvious that you’re a loan shark?”
"But I'm a loan shark!"
Gu Mingxia thought Ah Huo was a bit silly and cute, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah Huo, even if you were a loan shark to begin with, you didn't have to be so obvious about it. Otherwise, Bai Zixuan will think you're deliberately framing him. But now you've given him two months, and he'll actually be grateful to you, you know?"
Ah Huo touched his messy hair, his brows furrowed tightly, clearly still not understanding Gu Mingxia's words, but then he suddenly slapped his leg.
"Never mind, Miss Gu, you're the boss anyway, so I'll do whatever you say!"
Gu Mingxia twitched her eye. How did someone with such low IQ and EQ manage to get to the top position? Gu Mingxia was worried that Ah Huo's subordinates would be led astray because of him.
"Exactly, why are you thinking so much and asking so many questions? Just do as Miss Gu says!"
Song Jia didn't forget to add insult to injury. Ah Huo glared at him angrily. He knew his IQ wasn't very high, but there was no need to add insult to injury at this time. Could people like this still be friends?
Watching the two exchange a silent battle of wits, Gu Mingxia unconsciously rubbed her forehead. She really didn't like watching her subordinates bicker like this! Compared to the commotion, she preferred to be alone for a while.
"You all go back. I want to think about things by myself."
Gu Mingxia waved her hand. As soon as Song Jia came in and saw Gu Mingxia's haggard face, he knew that she hadn't slept much all night again, so after listening to her, he quickly stood up.
"Miss Gu, are you free at noon today? How about I treat you to lunch?"
"Ah Huo, didn't you say you'd take me to a bar to pick up girls? How about we go back and sleep a little longer, then go out and have some fun together tonight?"
Song Jia didn't forget to pull Ah Huo, who was still sitting on the sofa. Ah Huo looked dazed as he was pulled out, frowning in thought.
"Song Jia, when did I say I was going to take you to a bar?"
"Huh? Last night? Yes, last night!"
As Song Jia walked, she kept looking back at Gu Mingxia. When she reached the door, she glanced back at her.
"Goddess, you look terrible. You should go and get some rest. Even for the baby's sake, you can't stay up this late!"
"I understand, you can go ahead and get busy!"
After closing the door, Gu Mingxia sat heavily on the sofa. She was already over six months pregnant and would give birth in a little over three months, but she hadn't handled anything properly, not even the Gu family's affairs. Thinking about it, Gu Mingxia really felt useless!
Longteng Group, President's Office.
Bai Zixuan sat behind his desk, looking haggard as he stared at the computer, while Amy stood behind the desk with a serious expression.
"Mr. Bai, after paying the bank interest this month, we no longer have enough money to pay the interest on Mr. Huo's loan!"
"I know that. Mr. Ah Huo called me this morning. We can pay the interest for the first three months together, so we'll have an easier time these next two months!"
Thinking back to how he cautiously discussed with Ah Huo about paying the interest later, Ah Huo generously told him that the interest wasn't urgent and that he could pay it all at once over three months.
This made Bai Zixuan even more certain that Ah Huo's act of lending him money was genuinely to help him, and not the kind of high-interest loan scam that Amy had described.
"Won't this... cause a problem? You and Mr. Ah Huo are complete strangers, why would he help you like this?"
Amy still had reservations about Ah Huo. She never believed that there would be any benefits in this world without a reason, and she didn't believe that a stranger would lend another stranger 300 million yuan. That's 300 million, not three yuan or thirty!
"Why are you so pessimistic? Didn't I tell you that Ah Huo and I hit it off immediately and get along well? He wanted to invest in a business in Xiangcheng, and when he heard that our company urgently needed funds, he lent us the money. Why do you always doubt others?"
Bai Zixuan disliked Amy's tone when she spoke to Ah Huo. He glanced at her unhappily, but Amy pushed up her glasses and looked at him calmly.
"Mr. Bai, I'm just expressing my doubts. If you don't want to hear the truth, then I won't say anything more!"
After saying that, Amy picked up the folder and turned to leave. Bai Zixuan watched her back and snorted heavily.
"You speak so rudely, that's why no man is willing to marry you at your age, and you've never even had a boyfriend. Amy, you need to change this aspect of your personality!"
These words truly hurt Amy's heart. She never imagined that after devoting herself wholeheartedly to Bai Zixuan, she would end up being less important to him than someone she had just met. Amy smiled bitterly and looked back at Bai Zixuan's still handsome face, which had somehow become filled with a mercenary air.
"Does Mr. Bai think I'll never get married? But I'm still not married. Doesn't Mr. Bai think that working 24 hours a day has seriously affected my personal time?"
"If you're not satisfied with this job, as I've said before, you can resign. With your experience, I'm sure plenty of companies outside would be willing to hire you!"
Bai Zixuan regretted saying those words as soon as he did. Throughout the entire Longteng, only Amy was truly loyal to him.
But he didn't know why he said those words. Many times, he liked Amy's straightforward personality, but sometimes he disliked it.
Because Amy always laid bare the things he least wanted to face, leaving him no way to escape.
"Really? Mr. Bai, you really do... no longer need me! Alright, I'll give you my resignation letter later! I hope everything goes well for you in the future, Mr. Bai!"
Amy felt she had already done so much, but she had encountered such a heartless person. Amy felt she should have had more options. She had already wasted so much time, so why should she continue to waste it?
"Amy, I... I was a little too hasty just now, please don't take it to heart!"
"No, Mr. Bai, I'm serious!"
Bai Zixuan's gaze did not linger on Amy this time. She smiled faintly and continued walking out.
"Amy, are you really that heartless? Don't you care at all about our ten-year relationship?"
"Mr. Bai, who is truly heartless? You should know this better than I do!"
