Chapter 21 Divorce Confrontation【VIP】
Lin Zhihua stood in front of the Gu Group building, adjusted the collar of her suit jacket, and looked up at the towering building. The bright sunlight made her squint slightly.
"You're so disappointed! Mr. Gu didn't even bother to send someone to pick you up at the door." Ye Qianxi grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Lin Zhihua glanced at her indifferently, "Who told you to follow me?"
As a chief secretary, instead of staying in the company to handle work, he had to join in the fun of his former boss.
Secretary Ye’s work attitude urgently needs to be corrected!
Ye Qianxi coughed lightly. "Lawyer Fu can't come, right? As CEO Lin's right-hand man, I have to help the CEO solve his problems. What if someone is so foolish as to offend CEO Lin?"
"So my presence is extremely important!" Ye Qianxi said with a serious expression, pushing up the rimless glasses that had somehow been placed on his nose. "I'm familiar with the internal layout of the Gu's building. If I'm left sitting in the reception room, I can directly take President Lin to the office to find the person in question!"
Not to mention, considering how much Gu Shaochen treats Song Lansheng now, it is very likely that she will be left alone in the conference room for several hours in order to suppress the other party's arrogance.
"Hello, do you two have an appointment?" The receptionist raised her head, a standard professional smile on her delicately made-up face.
Ye Qianxi reported the name of Zhihua Law Firm and the appointment time. The receptionist looked down at the appointment list and moved his fingers on the tablet.
"Sorry, Lawyer Lin, there is no record of your appointment in the system."
"Impossible! I had an appointment with Secretary Wang this morning." Ye Qianxi frowned slightly. "Can you help us contact Mr. Gu?"
"According to company regulations, I can't let you two in without a reservation record." The receptionist's tone remained polite, but her eyes revealed a hint of impatience. "I don't have the right to contact Mr. Gu directly in this situation. Why don't you ask Secretary Wang?"
The previous receptionist was fired because she was soft-hearted and let in a suitor disguised as a courier. She can't follow in her predecessor's footsteps!
Ye Qianxi took a deep breath, took out her cell phone from her bag, and dialed Secretary Wang's contact number. The ringtone only lasted for one second before it was picked up.
Ye Qianxi took the initiative and said, "Secretary Wang, we agreed to come this morning to discuss matters related to Mr. Gu and his wife's divorce agreement. Why are you trying to show off before we even meet?"
The receptionist gasped. What did she say? Mr. Gu was getting a divorce?
Secretary Wang felt a little embarrassed at this blunt question. He laughed and said, "Maybe there's a delay in the backend information. I'll have the front desk send two people up now."
Soon, the internal phone at the front desk rang. Lin Zhihua only heard her whisper a few words, and her expression changed slightly.
"Y-yes, okay."
After hanging up the phone, the receptionist didn't embarrass them any further and handed them a visitor card. "The elevator is on the right. An assistant will pick you up on the 28th floor."
Lin Zhihua nodded at the other party, took the visitor card, turned and walked towards the elevator, and could still feel the curious gazes from behind.
As the elevator was rising, Ye Qianxi whispered to her that the 28th floor was the reception room and the president's office was on the 32nd floor.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened and an assistant in his thirties was already waiting at the door with an apologetic smile on his face.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Gu is in a meeting now. Please wait in the reception room for a while until Mr. Gu finishes the meeting..." Before he finished speaking, the elevator door closed again.
Looking at the slowly increasing numbers, the assistant's expression was a little horrified.
How come these two people went straight up!
After Ye Qianxi entered the password, she curled her lips in disgust and said, "You haven't changed it in so many years."
Lin Zhihua was quite impressed by Ye Qianxi's memory. She was worthy of being her chief secretary. She had excellent business skills and even remembered the elevator code of her former company after so many years of leaving.
The elevator door slowly opened. Secretary Wang frowned, thinking that the assistant had let someone up on purpose. But when he turned around and saw the person coming, he was stunned.
"you……"
Why are you back!
"Long time no see, Secretary Wang. I didn't expect Mr. Gu to have a last-minute meeting this afternoon." Ye Qianxi smiled, as if she didn't notice the different looks falling on her. "After all, this is Mr. Gu's most important event. We don't mind waiting for him in the office."
Secretary Wang's forehead was almost dripping with sweat. He never expected that the person he had an appointment with this time was Ye Qianxi, and she even brought a lawyer with her!
Mr. Gu had told them to wait long ago. Besides Mr. Gu, there was another person inside who was not easy to deal with!
Secretary Wang was caught in a dilemma. Now that the person had come up on his own, he could only stabilize the situation first.
He signaled to the confused assistant in the back, telling her to quickly explain the situation to the president. He then enthusiastically reminisced with Ye Qianxi, "Xiao Ye, didn't you say you wanted to switch to another company? Why are you becoming a lawyer now?"
"Yes, Xiao Ye, I remember your unrefined female secretary looking her up and down, covering her mouth in surprise, her tone rather gloating, '?"
"If you ask me, young people should learn to endure hardships. Why are you giving up such a promising job to pursue a worthless ideal? Tsk tsk."
Ye Qianxi rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Sister Zhou, why are you still working as a secretary here? I thought you became Mrs. Gu after going on a business trip to S City with Mr. Gu."
Sister Zhou's face turned red and blue, and she noticed many inquiring eyes on her, so she left.
My annual salary is now seven figures, I work from nine to five, have two days off, and leave work on time every day. If I work overtime occasionally, I get three times the salary. I didn’t forget to flatter Lin Zhihua next to me, saying, "Our president is beautiful and kind-hearted, the company is thriving, and team building is going well."
She kept talking about the treatment she received in the new company, her eyes full of sincere praise.
Secretary Wang's face turned green after hearing this. Damn, what kind of magical company is this!
He wants to change jobs.
Thinking about my awful boss, who doesn't do any work and doesn't even get overtime pay. Especially lately, all the dirty work has been thrown to him.
Secretary Wang's face looked even more worn.
Under the bombardment of Ye Qianxi's speeches, which were in the name of sharing but were actually meant to show off, the people in the secretariat were on the verge of collapse.
After finally receiving the instructions from the eldest young master to let someone in, Secretary Wang quickly interrupted her chattering.
He forced a smile and said, "Let's talk about the annual cruise meeting next time. Mr. Gu has finished his work. You two can go in first."
Lin Zhihua held back her laughter and handed Ye Qianxi a glass of water.
Good at talking and talk a lot.
Bring Secretary Ye with you next time when you go to bid. His eloquence cannot be wasted. Talent must be fully utilized.
The office door was pushed open, and Lin Zhihua walked in, her eyes immediately locked on a man and a woman sitting on the leather chair.
Gu Shaochen leaned back in a large office chair, his tie hanging loosely around his neck, the top two buttons of his shirt undone to reveal his collarbone. Bai Qingying sat on his lap, one hand hooked around his neck.
"Oh no, someone's coming in, let me go." Bai Qingying pushed his chest, her voice so sweet that it was sickening.
"How can they be as important as you?" Gu Shaochen rubbed his hands on her waist, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the lips, completely ignoring the visitor.
Secretary Wang's face flushed red, and he was quite embarrassed as he asked the two of them to sit down on behalf of his incompetent CEO. Not long after, Lawyer Zhang, hired by Gu Shaochen, also hurried into the office.
There was one more embarrassed person in the office, but Ye Qianxi was actually enjoying the intimate scenes between the two people with great interest.
They flirted for a long time as if no one was around before Gu Shaochen remembered the guests in the office.
When he saw Ye Qianxi, he frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He naturally put his arm around Bai Qingying and sat on the sofa.
Lin Zhihua completely ignored their affection and took out a contract from her bag. "Ms. Song has already signed this divorce agreement. Please review it, Mr. Gu."
Gu Shaochen picked up the agreement and flipped through it casually, sneering, "This woman wants so much. So what if she signed it? I said I'd only give her 50 million at most."
Lin Zhixiang didn't notice his mocking attitude and kept a professional smile on his face. "As your wife, Miss Song's request to share the common property is legal and reasonable."
"Since you and Miss Song got married, your stock dividends and salary income have totaled nearly 200 million. The villa in Yuewan District under your name was a gift from Mr. Gu to you two as a post-marital asset. Mr. Gu has now quietly disposed of it. With a market value of 200 million, he should have remembered to give half of the money to Miss Song."
"Lawyer Zhang, you are helping Mr. Gu divide the property, right? Is this way of dividing it okay?" Lin Zhihua looked at the other lawyer sharply.
"That's indeed no problem." Lawyer Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Mr. Gu shouldn't be so stingy, right?" Lin Zhihua looked at him with a smile.
"Okay, give it to her." Gu Shaochen's expression was not good. "But the custody of the child must belong to me. Don't talk to me about the law. His last name is Gu, and I can't let Song Lansheng take the Gu family's child away."
Lin Zhihua didn't comment. She seemed to have just seen Bai Qingying standing beside her, and showed a slightly surprised expression.
"Oh, Miss Bai, it's only been a year since you returned to China, right?" Lin Zhihua ignored Gu Shaochen's cold gaze and chuckled, "Have you still adapted to the environment in China?"
"You're using grandpa to threaten me. Who do you think you are?" Gu Shaochen looked at Lin Zhihua with disdain. His grandpa had been recuperating in the old house for the past two years and hadn't been involved in trivial matters. This woman was just testing him with some groundless news.
The next moment, his expression froze.
"I happen to have Mr. Gu's contact information," Lin Zhihua waved her phone, and the screen showed Mr. Gu's number. "Last night, I saw him post on WeChat Moments saying that he regretted not being able to take a picture of Mr. Qi's original work."
"What a coincidence! I have one on hand."
