"Dad takes care of Fan Chu because he's the young master of the Gu family. But you must achieve excellent results, and very excellent results, to shut up your uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, understand?"
Gu Fanyan was a little unsure, but her father's expectant gaze made it impossible for her to shake her head.
She could only nod.
"Good!" Mr. Gu was very pleased. "Get some rest and go to the company tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the business."
When Mr. Gu returned to his room, he saw that Mrs. Gu was still awake, sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a half-smile.
“Sure, Lao Gu,” Gu’s mother said. “First, play the victim in front of your daughter, then give her some pep talk. She’ll definitely promise you that she’ll achieve great things.”
Mr. Gu smiled helplessly: "You've been eavesdropping outside the door again."
However, "I was just speaking from the heart."
Gu's mother was slightly relieved. "I hope that having something productive to do will help Yan'er get over her grief."
...
Late at night, Lin's father was still busy in his office.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and an unexpected figure appeared at the door.
His son, Lin Zhibai.
Mr. Lin put down the documents in his hand and smiled: "You came here at this time, you're not here to bring me a late-night snack, are you?"
"I ordered takeout for you, it'll be here soon," Lin Zhibai replied.
Mr. Lin was speechless. This child, doesn't he have any filial piety at all? He waited downstairs for two minutes and personally brought the takeout up!
Lin Zhibai stepped forward and, without saying a word, looked at the documents on his desk.
Mr. Lin frowned: "These are all board secrets. You're not a member of the company's board of directors, so you shouldn't be able to see them."
“Then please let me join the board of directors,” Lin Zhibai said.
"Do you think this is a club where you can just join whenever you want?" Mr. Lin scoffed without any politeness. "What contributions have you made to the company?"
"If you could be like Lu Dongjue, I'd give you my dad's office."
Lin Zhibai smiled and said, "Dad, give me a chance, and I'll prove my abilities to you and the board of directors."
Mr. Lin raised an eyebrow in surprise. In the past, when he brought up this topic, Lin Zhibai would always be impatient.
He actually volunteered today!
I don't know what got into me!
“Great! The company happens to have a project collaboration with the Gu and Lu families. You can choose one of the projects to take charge of,” Lin’s father said.
Lin Zhibai looked through all the documents and materials on the table, then pointed to one of them and asked, "What's this?"
Lin's father explained to him that it was the development of a commercial center.
It covers shopping malls, residential buildings, entertainment centers, and more.
"I'll take charge of this," Lin Zhibai said.
Mr. Lin glanced at it and said, "This part involves close cooperation with the Gu family."
Lin Zhibai hummed in agreement. "What, can't I participate in the cooperation with the Gu family?"
Lin's father hesitated for a moment: "Your... mother's place..."
"Doesn't she want me to achieve something and be comparable to Lu Dongjue?"
Lin's father smiled. This kid is smart; he knows how to hit the nail on the head.
"Okay, I look forward to your satisfactory answer."
Gu Fanyan spent a week familiarizing herself with the project information at the company. That day, Yun Suiwan invited her to dinner and asked her to help her choose jewelry.
"Miss Yun, aren't there enough heirloom jewelry in the Yun family?" Gu Fanyan teased after they met, "Do you need to buy jewelry for your wedding?"
Yun Suiwan didn't hide anything: "To be honest, when my grandmother divided the family property, she gave me the company and real estate, while the ancestral jewelry was given to the female members of the family."
Grandma shouldn't be too biased.
Gu Fanyan remembered that Yun Suiwan's share should be in Li Xiaoyun's hands.
But why would Li Xiaoyun give Yun Suiwan...?
She was somewhat annoyed, realizing that she had spoken without thinking and indirectly brought up Yun Suiwan's painful memories.
"Sister Fanyan, if you feel guilty, then give me some of your Gu family's ancestral jewelry," Yun Suiwan joked, not wanting Gu Fanyan to feel embarrassed.
“Wanwan, I’ll have my mom recognize you as her goddaughter,” Gu Fanyan said seriously. “That way, you can rightfully wear the Gu family’s ancestral jewelry.”
Otherwise, if word gets out, the Yun family will only be laughed at.
Yun Suiwan was quite touched that Gu Fanyan had thought of everything so thoroughly.
"Thank you, Sister Fanyan, but it's not necessary. There are many beautiful pieces of jewelry now," Yun Suiwan said. "I'm very happy that you could take the time to help me choose."
The two visited several well-known jewelry stores, but couldn't find anything suitable.
The company secretary called to urge Gu Fanyan, saying that the project team had an urgent meeting.
Gu Fanyan had no choice but to bid farewell to Yun Suiwan and prepare to head to the company.
Yun Suiwan casually asked, "Are you in charge of a part of this collaborative project between the Gu, Lin, and Lu families?"
Gu Fanyan nodded, "It's a very small part."
Yun Suiwan asked again, "Is Lin Zhibai in charge of the Lin family?"
Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback; she really hadn't thought of that.
But even if Lin Zhibai is involved, so what?
She did this to comfort her parents and to prevent them from being swayed by Lin Zhibai!
When Gu Fanyan arrived at the company, her secretary immediately handed her a document. "This is a newly received cooperation proposal, which contains detailed project information."
She took it and examined it carefully. When she saw the project introduction section, her heart skipped a beat.
Lin Zhibai's name is indeed among the people in charge appointed by the Lin family.
Moreover, the shopping mall project she was in charge of happened to be within the scope of Lin Zhibai's responsibilities.
In other words, once the project is officially launched, Lin Zhibai will become one of her superiors.
Supervise, manage, and approve her work.
Gu Fanyan was speechless.
It's such a coincidence.
"Manager Gu, is there a problem?" At this moment, the father's voice came.
We're in a meeting now, and each project manager has to share their thoughts.
Gu Fanyan shook her head, "No problem."
Mr. Gu nodded, "Since everyone is okay with it, let's get started."
Gu Fanyan returned to her office, still feeling a bit uneasy.
But there's something she can't change.
She decided to put it aside for the time being and focus on handling the matters at hand.
She took out her phone and called Lu Dongjue: "Dongjue, where are you?"
"Sister Fanyan? Is something the matter?"
"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
“I’ll send you an address, come over and have dinner with me,” Lu Dongjue said.
"I want to talk to you alone. I don't want to see Wanwan."
"This isn't a good idea, Sister Fanyan."
Gu Fanyan was amused. "Lu Dongjue, even if you're henpecked, you're not officially married yet."
"Don't worry, it's about Wanwan, I think it's better to discuss it face to face."
Lu Dongjue visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's go tonight. Shen Xing and I will talk about something at our usual bar."
Gu Fanyan arrived at the bar at the agreed time.
It really was just Lu Dongjue and Shen Xinghui having a serious conversation.
When Gu Fanyan went in, she only heard words like "doctor" and "expert".
"Who's sick?" she asked.
“No, it’s me who wants to open a hospital,” Shen Xing replied.
But the unnaturalness in his eyes did not escape Gu Fanyan's notice.
She sat down, smiled, and said, "Opening a hospital is a good idea. I'll invest. Show me the business plan."
Shen Xinghui's expression became even more unnatural.
