Chapter 400 A Life of Worry



"I know you think it's too frivolous for me to gamble with my future, but all my efforts over the years have been to allow my mother to divorce him and leave the Gu family with dignity! I don't regret it! It's just that I have let you down and disappointed you!" Gu Zhiyuan honestly admitted his mistake.

What else can Deputy Director Liu do?

Gu Zhiyuan was assigned to his subordinates from the moment he joined the company, and he was personally trained by him.

He had heard about the Gu family's affairs. Over the years, Gu Zhiyuan had regarded him as a teacher and father, the closest and most respected elder. He also regarded Gu Zhiyuan as no different from his own son.

Even if you curse him out loud and wish you could whip him with a belt, after you've finished cursing and hitting him, you still have to angrily clean up the mess this bastard made.

What else can we do?

Glaring at Gu Zhiyuan, Deputy Director Liu was furious. He waved his hand and said, "Get out! Just looking at you annoys me! Behave yourself these next few days and don't cause any more trouble! Put away all your tricks and schemes. There are plenty of old foxes in Beijing. Your methods are too naive; they'll be seen through in an instant!"

"That's enough. Any more and you'll just annoy people! You need to know when to stop! Didn't you coax your girlfriend over from the Northwest Military Region? Have you thought this through? Are you sure you're committed to her?"

Deputy Director Liu truly felt that he was destined to be a worrywart, not only having to clean up the mess this bastard made, but also having to worry about his lifelong happiness.

Everyone felt that Gu Zhiyuan's family background meant he would likely marry a woman from a similarly privileged family.

Gu Zhiyuan's severing ties with the Gu family will definitely affect the marriage market.

However, Deputy Director Liu thought Xu Ningyan was quite good.

With the right background—the daughter of a martyr—the Northwest Military Region would even back her up! They'd barely left the Northwest Military Region when that old bastard there called them, implying that their Northwest Military Region protected their child and couldn't stand being wronged, warning them not to bully her, or the Northwest Military Region would send a dozen or so skilled soldiers as her family to beat her up—don't blame him for not giving them a heads-up!

Furthermore, Xu Ningyan had reported back on his actions in Jingshan County, so he had some understanding of them.

I just felt that Xu Ningyan's personality was quite suitable for Gu Zhiyuan.

Gu Zhiyuan's family and work unit background have made him hard-hearted and cold-blooded! Those pampered children from the compound really can't control this kid.

Moreover, this kid is destined for greatness. If his partner is too incompetent and he can't stand up for himself, it will have a big impact on him.

Xu Ningyan, on the other hand, has impeccable family background and can stand on her own two feet! Not only will she not hold Gu Zhiyuan back, but she can also be of great help! More importantly, if anything were to happen to Gu Zhiyuan one day, Xu Ningyan would definitely be able to hold the family together!

Of course, more importantly, Gu Zhiyuan, this thousand-year-old monk, was actually moved!

That alone surpasses everything else!

Therefore, Deputy Director Liu should ask carefully and find out if she is the only one he can marry. If so, he should settle things as soon as possible and marry her as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, she felt annoyed with Gu Zhiyuan again.

After following me for so many years, I've learned about 80-90% of other skills, so why am I so bad at pursuing women?

The two have been living under the same roof as an engaged couple for over a year, yet they still haven't managed to win her over!

What a piece of trash!

He's really embarrassing himself!

"Look at you! You've been living under the same roof with her, and you've been engaged for so long, how come you still haven't won her over? Look at our workplace, every single one of them gets married quickly and decisively! Once they've identified their target, they just go for it! Who's as slow and drawn-out as you? It's been years and you still haven't brought her home? Can you even do this?"

No man should be told he's no good!

Gu Zhiyuan's face darkened: "She's already agreed to be my girlfriend! Besides, I'd like to marry her, but I'm afraid of making a mistake. She's not even eighteen yet!"

Deputy Director Liu was speechless!

Coming to his senses, he slammed his fist on the table in anger: "You brat! You've got your eye on that little girl already? No wonder the Northwest Military Region called me, telling me to keep an eye on her! They're worried you'll bully her! You're an old man trying to seduce a young girl, you're a piece of trash! Get out of here—"

Gu Zhiyuan nodded quickly and rolled to the door.

Deputy Director Liu murmured from behind, "Take her to our house in a few days to introduce her to the place, and let your aunt meet her too!"

Gu Zhiyuan gave a vague reply and got lost.

Thanks to Deputy Director Liu's instructions, Gu Zhiyuan was happy to have some free time during this period.

He goes to get off work and leaves work on time every day, with a beaming smile, his face glowing from eating, and his mouth greasy with food.

I've visibly gained weight.

Others may not know, but Sun Zhou does; this is all thanks to Xu Ningyan.

Looking at Gu Zhiyuan's leisurely appearance, they couldn't stand it at all. They were all working themselves to the bone every day, but he was the only one who was eating well and drinking well and spending all his time with his partner.

In a fit of anger, he only got angry for a moment!

After all, it was Deputy Director Liu who spoke. To outsiders, it just looked like Gu Zhiyuan was confused and made such a bad move when he was about to be promoted. He was just too young and impetuous.

Everyone has heard about the Gu family's situation. Although it's vague, the neighbors in the compound have witnessed it all over the years and, through a combination of guesswork and speculation, have pieced together the truth of the matter.

Most people sympathized with Gu Zhiyuan and his two children, and despised Gu Yong and his family.

However, some people felt that Gu Zhiyuan was too young and impatient, and didn't know how to use this to his advantage.

Instead, things have turned out this way. He only vented his anger and didn't gain anything, and the Gu family is going to suffer as well.

That's truly harmful to others and doesn't benefit oneself at all!

Because of his great contributions, there were rumors that he would be promoted. Gu Yong boasted about it enthusiastically, which offended many people.

This has also raised the alarm of many people, especially Gu Yong's rivals. How could they stand by and watch him have such an outstanding successor?

After this ordeal, those people breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that no matter how capable they are, they are ultimately not mentally strong enough to handle things and are not worth fearing.

Moreover, since the Gu family father and son have become enemies, the Gu family is no longer a threat.

In order to disgust Gu Yong, they had to elevate Gu Zhiyuan.

Gu Zhiyuan didn't care about these people's opinions; in other words, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Back in Beijing, especially after hearing that he was to be promoted to the youngest deputy director, his pressure increased dramatically.

Especially the sneak attacks from Gu Yong's opponents are impossible to defend against!

Gu Zhiyuan also felt incredibly unlucky! Having Gu Yong as his father was truly the worst luck imaginable! He received no help at work, and after finally climbing to this position, he had to endure attacks from Gu Yong's rivals! He felt utterly wronged!

So let's just cut off the fuel supply from the source, and now it's all good! Finally, some peace and quiet!

Gu Yong's situation was naturally not easy either!

Putting everything else aside, his ambiguous relationship with Fang Dani can no longer be hidden. Now Fang Dani doesn't dare to go out. If she does, people in the compound will point and whisper about her, and some of the more outspoken ones will even curse at her.

Nowadays, even their nanny doesn't dare to go out; everything is delivered to their home by the logistics department.

Gu Zhixing had hauled all the family's belongings away in one truck, leaving the living room empty, which didn't look like a proper home at all.

To restore the previous layout, the cost was considerable.

Nowadays, the Gu family doesn't have a sucker like Jiang Yuan to pay for things; if they have to pay for it themselves, no one would be willing to do so.

The wives of Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui almost had their heads smashed over the bankbook that was returned that day.
