Chapter 95 He's a married man.
Who is it?
Shi Nuan, always eager for gossip, leaned close to Lin Wei, watching the screen that had just been turned off.
Somewhat disappointed.
It was still a second too late.
Lin Wei's current state is very abnormal; she is clearly in love.
"Weiwei, are we still best friends? Are you hiding something from me?"
Shi Nuan frowned and looked at her with a resentful expression.
Feeling guilty, Lin Wei turned her phone face down on the table.
"Nuan Nuan, stop imagining things. She's just a difficult customer, very clingy."
"What brings you here today? You don't just want to chat, do you?"
Wasn't there any announcement?
Shi Nuan's smile froze on her face as she blinked.
How could she possibly bring herself to say something like that?
I hesitated, unsure how to begin.
"Weiwei, I have something to tell you, but you mustn't tell anyone else."
"Tell me, what kind of irrepressible gossip from the entertainment industry has made you rush to find me like this?"
They didn't even make a phone call.
Lin Wei sat back down on the sofa.
He watched her with great interest.
She knew Shi Nuan all too well.
She can't keep a secret forever; she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't tell others.
"My brother is planning to confess his feelings to you; he's even prepared a PowerPoint presentation."
"30 pages!"
Lin Wei's smile froze, and she looked as if she had been nailed to the sofa.
I thought I had misheard.
"Is Shi Yanzhou going to confess his feelings to me?"
Lin Wei's mind flashed back to the phone call Shi Yanzhou had made to her earlier.
He said he had something important to give her personally.
It turned out to be... a confession of love.
"Weiwei, why would I lie to you?"
My brother may seem gentle and mild-mannered on the surface, but he's actually very stubborn and inflexible.
I came to you because I wanted to ask if you had any solutions.
The PPT gave me goosebumps.
"If it were released in the Lanwan Shopping Mall in Jiangcheng, that would be too outrageous."
Lin Wei's mind was in turmoil.
She grew up with Shi Yanzhou and Shi Nuan.
Shi Yanzhou was like a brother to her.
She never imagined that beneath this almost familial affection, Shi Yanzhou harbored ulterior motives towards her.
She rejected Shi Yanzhou if he confessed his feelings to her.
That awkwardness will linger.
Every time we meet again, I'll probably be carrying this thorn with me.
Thinking of this, her heart tightened slightly.
She couldn't bear to see people who cared for her like a brother.
He showed such a sad expression because of himself.
But what could she do?
She only felt familial affection for Shi Yanzhou, not romantic love.
Lin Wei took a deep breath; her temples throbbed slightly.
She put down her coffee cup, her mind racing.
Trying to find a thread in this tangled mess.
Directly refusing or pretending not to know is not the solution.
Lin Wei looked at Shi Nuan with a helpless expression.
"Your brother's personality... once he gets serious, not even ten oxen could pull him back."
"Nuan Nuan, why don't you tell your brother that my company is under a lot of financial pressure?"
I can't spare any thought for matters of the heart.
"In that case, your brother probably won't be thinking about confessing his feelings anytime soon."
Shi Nuan's eyes lit up as she listened.
Although this is a delaying tactic, there is no better way.
"Okay, knowing my brother's personality, he should be able to suppress his feelings."
I won't cause you any trouble at this time.
Shi Nuan felt a little deflated.
"But... how long can this drag on?"
Let's take it one step at a time.
Lin Wei rubbed her temples.
As for the future... we'll talk about that later.
In time, Shi Yanzhou may gradually let it go.
Or perhaps, one day, her marriage to Gu Jingcheng will be made public.
There was no "after".
This is hardly a brilliant method.
But it was indeed the least harmful way she could think of at the moment.
-
Gu Jingcheng's Rolls-Royce smoothly merged into the traffic.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on his palms as he gripped the steering wheel.
A thin layer of sweat seeped from his palm.
He rarely had time to take time off from official duties today, and his feelings were somewhat complicated.
A few days ago, Lin Wei mentioned it to him.
She wants to sever all ties with the Gu Group.
That will prevent the mother and son from falsely accusing her father again.
He admired her wisdom and decisiveness.
But reality is often more complex than ideals.
The Gu Group was the brainchild of his elder brother.
Despite the turmoil and purges that followed the death of the eldest brother,
Now, the one in power is his sister-in-law, whose methods are not exactly honorable.
However, the livelihoods of tens of thousands of employees are still tied to the group's operations.
There are also many veterans who worked alongside their elder brother in the early days of his business.
Over the years, although he has not directly intervened in the management of the Gu family,
But openly and secretly, they shielded the Gu family from a lot of trouble.
He couldn't bear to watch his elder brother's hard work disappear before his eyes.
Otherwise, I would be letting down my elder brother in the afterlife.
Cutting is inevitable.
He did not want Lin Wei's company to suffer unnecessary losses in the process.
At the same time, they didn't want the Gu Group to go bankrupt.
He went to see Lin Wei today to discuss a solution that would be as mutually beneficial as possible.
When Gu Jingcheng arrived at the general manager's office,
Qin Simiao was lying in the reception area playing King of Glory.
Upon seeing Gu Jingcheng arrive, he immediately sat up straight.
"Uncle, what brings you here?"
Gu Jingcheng rolled his eyes at him.
"Your grandfather sent you here to learn skills, and you're just lying around playing video games?"
"If you're itching for a beating, come to Jingcheng Group, and I'll personally teach you."
Qin Simiao's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately put away her phone.
He can't follow Gu Jingcheng.
Gu Jingcheng is a well-known workaholic.
If I follow him, will I ever see the sun during the day again?
"Uncle, I was wrong. I just started playing. I'll start working now."
With that, Qin Simiao returned to her workstation as the general manager's assistant.
Pick up the documents and pretend to organize them.
Gu Jingcheng didn't look at him, and strode towards Lin Wei's office.
"Uncle, Mr. Lin has guests, why don't you wait a bit?"
Gu Jingcheng looked at him suspiciously.
"What guest?"
"A fierce-looking woman, dressed like a thief."
I tried to stop him, but he glared at me; I can't afford to mess with him.
Gu Jingcheng frowned and pushed open the office door.
I vaguely heard Lin Wei mention Shi Yanzhou.
His brows furrowed even deeper.
The women sitting together in the office gossiping looked at Gu Jingcheng at the door.
The smile on his face froze.
Shi Nuan's eyes darted back and forth between Gu Jingcheng and Lin Wei's faces.
Finally, it stopped on Lin Wei's face.
She leaned closer to Lin Wei and quickly muttered something.
"Don't forget, he's married!"
After saying that, he squeezed Lin Wei's wrist hard.
Lin Wei felt somewhat helpless.
It seems that her past "love-obsessed" nature has really left Shi Nuan with psychological trauma.
Gu Jingcheng spoke,
"Mr. Lin, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."
The suspicion in Shi Nuan's eyes deepened.
Want to talk privately?
But she knew nothing about company affairs, so it wasn't appropriate for her to force herself to be there.
"Weiwei, I'll head back now. Thank you for what you said about my brother."
"Okay, I'll contact you when I'm done with this."
Shi Nuan nodded before leaving.
"Mr. Gu, you two talk."
Shi Nuan closed the office door from the outside.
Lin Wei stood up and walked to the chair behind the desk.
Gu Jingcheng pulled her into his arms.
"Hmm~"
Before she could react, the man showered her with kisses.
It fell densely onto her moist, thin lips.
The man's strength carried a hint of long-lost tenderness.
His heavy breath sprayed onto Lin Wei's cheeks.
His hands restlessly lingered on her soft waist.
He kept rubbing it.
