The 198th shit, a grand public confession.
Silence fell over the office.
Liu Qianhua's words did make Gu Mingxia a little embarrassed, but her good manners prevented her from showing any displeasure on her face.
She simply sat there quietly with a smile, while Liu Qianhua looked somewhat embarrassed, unsure of what to say as she looked at Gu Mingxia's smiling face.
"Miss Gu, I know this will embarrass you, but I really don't want Grandpa to leave with regrets. Please, please do me this favor?"
Liu Qianhua stood up and bowed deeply to Gu Mingxia. Gu Mingxia looked at her bowed back, her eyes still calm, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After a long while, she finally stood up and reached out to help Liu Qianhua up. Gu Mingxia patted the back of her hand and smiled considerately.
"I am truly sorry about what happened to your grandfather. But I have never interfered in Fu Heng's private affairs."
“Miss Gu, I really have no other choice. I…”
"But I'm willing to help you with this! Just because of your filial piety. However, I can't guarantee whether it will work out!"
Gu Mingxia interrupted Liu Qianhua before she could finish speaking and took the initiative to express her feelings. Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Liu Qianhua's face.
"Thank you, thank you so much, Miss Gu! I... I thank you!"
"No need to thank me. Don't worry, I will go find Fu Heng."
"Then...then I won't bother you anymore!"
Liu Qianhua got up and was about to leave when Gu Mingxia took a business card and placed it in her hand.
"My contact number is on this. Call me tomorrow night and I'll tell you the result."
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
Fu Feng was right after all. This was the only person who could help her. Although she didn't know what the final outcome would be, having some hope was better than having no hope at all!
"You're welcome. I was just doing my best."
After seeing Liu Qianhua off, Gu Mingxia sat in a chair, pondering her words. This was indeed a difficult situation, because of her difficult remark back then, Fu Heng still didn't have a woman by his side. The Fu Group headquarters was entirely composed of men, and even the female shareholders were not allowed to appear at each shareholders' meeting.
This was entirely for the promise made to her back then. But now, Gu Mingxia suddenly felt that such a promise was far too heavy, so heavy that she almost didn't know how to face it!
During this time, Gu Mingxia deliberately tried not to think about Fu Heng's sacrifices, nor did she want to face her past feelings. However, the appearance of Liu Qianhua forced her to confront her feelings for Fu Heng!
With a sigh, Gu Mingxia fiddled with her phone, wondering how she could cook a dish that would make Fu Heng less heartbroken.
However, rejection is a cruel thing, and she had done it a long time ago. Now, to tear that rejection apart under the sunlight, Gu Mingxia knew without a doubt how painful it would be for Fu Heng.
But... that's how things are sometimes, with relationships; they weren't meant to be. They didn't meet the right person at the best age.
"Fu Heng? Let's have dinner together tonight! At the 7UP Hotel, see you at eight."
Okay, see you at eight.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxia felt a deep sense of guilt, but she had to make Fu Heng understand that no matter what he did, there was no possibility between them, and it was time for him to start a new life.
Gu Mingxia was flipping through the documents in her hand when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Mr. Gu, may I come in?"
"Please come in."
It was her assistant, Xiao Xiao. Gu Mingxia composed herself, smiled, and sat behind her desk to work on the documents.
"Mr. Gu, these flowers were delivered by the florist this morning."
Did they say who sent it?
"There's a card inside the flower, would you like me to take a look?"
Xiao Xiao placed the flowers on Gu Mingxia's desk. Gu Mingxia put away her documents and looked at the bright red roses, which still had glistening dewdrops on them!
"No need, thank you."
Gu Mingxia took the flowers and, sure enough, found a card inside. She frowned, having a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the moment Gu Mingxia opened the card, she felt a headache coming on. Was Bai Zixuan really so persistent? It turned out that all the red roses the company had been sending over these past few days had been from him.
This made Gu Mingxia feel nauseous, and she casually threw the red rose in her arms into the trash can.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Gu Mingxia answered it politely.
"Xiaxia, did you receive the flowers I sent you? Did you block my number?"
"Bai Zixuan, can't you have any dignity? Do you find it fun to do this?"
Without a second thought, Gu Mingxia directly voiced her dissatisfaction. Bai Zixuan was taken aback, but soon a gentler voice came through the phone.
"Xiaxia, these flowers are all from my heart. You have to believe that I truly love you. Oh, I forgot to tell you, today is the anniversary of our wedding, so I bought every newspaper and magazine page to confess my love to you, as well as the local news website. I hope you can forgive me and accept me again."
"Shit! Bai Zixuan, go to hell!"
Gu Mingxia's first reaction was that this girl was crazy, and her second reaction was how could she have run into such an embarrassing thing?
Xiaxia, I really love you!
*Smack!* Gu Mingxia hung up the phone and threw it on the table. This world is truly insane! This Bai Zixuan is obviously crazy!
"Mr. Gu, the client needs you to attend a meeting, is that alright?"
"Okay, send me the time and location on my phone, and I'll head out right away."
Having more work would help her forget about this disgusting thing! Gu Mingxia picked up her bag and didn't even look at the red roses in the trash can. She felt that if she looked any longer, she really couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't rush over and beat Bai Zixuan up.
"Clean out the trash can in my office. Also, no one is allowed to mention newspapers or magazines in front of me today, and I don't want them in my room. You'd better not buy them either! Xiaoxiao, have the network administrator shut down the internet for today. It can't be turned on without me!"
Queen Gu left after saying that, and rushed out. She was really worried that some gossipy employees would come to the local news website or buy magazines to read about Bai Zixuan's disgusting confession.
"What's wrong with President Gu?"
The employees looked at her retreating figure with great confusion, glancing slightly in the direction of the door. Only after confirming that Gu Mingxia would not be returning did she beckon to a group of employees, then mysteriously pull a gossip magazine from her drawer as her colleagues gathered around.
"My dearest Xiaxia, there was once a sincere love placed before me, but I didn't cherish it. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely cherish our relationship and never let you suffer even the slightest harm again. If I had to put a time limit on this promise, I hope it would be ten thousand years! Xiaxia, please forgive me. I truly love you so much, and I can't live without you. Waiting for your forgiveness, Xuan."
"It's so cold. Is this some kind of confession to President Gu?"
One employee shrugged, finding the level of sycophancy utterly disgusting!
"See this? This is Bai Zixuan, the president of Longteng Group and Gu's ex-husband, publicly confessing his love to her. Moreover, I heard that it was not only published in these seven weekly magazines, but also in all the gossip magazines and newspapers. Even the local news website has this headline."
She spoke mysteriously, saying that when she bought a magazine this morning, she saw that public confession and was incredibly shocked. However, she could imagine that if Gu Mingxia saw it, she would feel like a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.
Everyone in the marketing department knows a lot about her awful ex-husband, and they even know all about Bai Zixuan's mistress, Ye Xiaorou.
"President Gu is quite annoyed by her ex-husband, but it's true, it's really unlucky to have an ex-husband like that."
Some employees began to feel immense sympathy for Gu Mingxia, chuckling softly. After putting away the magazine and looking around to make sure no one else was there, the group huddled together again.
"Don't you think President Xiao is more pitiful? He's already proposed, and now his fiancée is being proposed to like this. If it were me, I would definitely feel embarrassed. Moreover, I heard that this ex-husband sends President Gu two bouquets of red roses every day. He's really aggressive!"
"President Xiao is indeed a little pitiful, but as long as our President Gu is devoted to him, that's enough!"
"Alright, everyone get back to work. If President Gu finds out we've been gossiping about her behind her back, she definitely won't let us off the hook when she gets back!"
"That's right, work, work!"
Xiao Xiao felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about Gu Mingxia's methods of punishing employees. She quickly told her colleagues who were gathered together to go back to work, and she also hurriedly started looking for a cleaner to clean Gu Mingxia's office.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of these confessions?"
Chiba sat on the sofa, legs crossed, reading the Xiangcheng Evening News with great interest. This Bai Zixuan is really bold! He simply doesn't take our domineering CEO Xiao seriously!
"It's great, it's just that the person confessing and the person being confessed to are not good!"
Xiao Yan casually tossed the magazine onto his desk, his eyes narrowing slightly. Bai Zixuan, huh? It seems his inaction all this time has been taken as weakness!
"Go and investigate the Longteng Group. Remember as much detail as possible!"
"Oh, Mr. Xiao is jealous!"
Chiba put down the magazine, and although his words were sarcastic, he still stood ramrod straight.
"What's wrong with being jealous of your own fiancée? Go on!"
Chiba nodded. Today she was wearing a black fitted blazer and tight pants, which made her walk gracefully.
"Mr. Xiao, have you considered what would happen if Alice came?"
Standing at the door, Qianye turned around and looked at him quietly. Xiao Yan's expression clearly froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
"No matter who comes, it won't change the fact that I'm engaged!"
