Chapter 31 Is this really the reason he's chosen not to get married all these years?
Two opposing footsteps approached each other in the corridor.
Su Niannian paused in closing the window, then looked up in the direction of the footsteps.
She knew that the president's office had two entrances and exits, and that was the back door. Apart from President Gu, no one dared to use the back door.
Will President Gu think she's wandering around when he sees her?
Thinking of this, there just happened to be a money tree as tall as a person placed against the wall.
Su Niannian acted faster than she thought, and in a flash she hid behind the money tree.
She dared not breathe, hiding behind the dense foliage, praying that Mr. Gu would not discover her.
Just then, footsteps came from around the corner.
The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of black leather shoes with red soles.
Next were her long, muscular legs encased in black suit trousers.
Su Niannian was full of questions, wondering if a fifty-year-old man could be in such good shape.
Her gaze couldn't help but drift upwards.
He doesn't have a big belly, his chest muscles are bulging, and his shoulders are broad.
Most importantly, he was wearing a dark blue tie.
She had seen her at the villa this morning...
Gu Yuheng was walking briskly toward the elevator when a petite figure suddenly appeared in front of him, startling him so much that he stopped in his tracks.
"you......"
Just as he was about to sternly rebuke whoever was playing pranks here, he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly.
A flicker of confusion crossed his eyes.
"Su Niannian, what are you doing hiding there? Didn't I tell you to wait for me, that I was coming to find you?"
Su Niannian puffed out her cheeks, looked him up and down, and said, "So you're admitting that you're President Gu?"
No wonder I haven't seen the president even once these past few days.
So it turns out they were deliberately avoiding me.
Gao Xiu smelled the odor and rushed over to put out the fire. He happened to see Su Niannian walking this way and was thinking that President Gu should not be caught. However, he was still a step too late.
That's why he was able to stay by Gu Yuheng's side for so long.
His reaction was quick: "Ms. Su, you've misunderstood. He's not President Gu; he's here to fix the air conditioner for President Gu."
Su Niannian: "......"
Gu Yuheng rarely showed an expression as if he were looking at an idiot: "Gao Xiu, there's nothing for you here, go and get busy."
Gao Xiu felt he hadn't performed well and could only leave dejectedly.
Gu Yuheng saw anger on the little girl's face. He walked up to her, gazed at her face for a long time, and then raised his hand to soothe her by patting her head.
“It was wrong of me to hide my identity from you, but it wasn’t intentional. At first, you misunderstood my identity, and I didn’t explain it to you in time, which made me not know what to say later.”
He paused for a moment: "And I'm not defending myself. I know you're a hardworking and resilient girl. You want to gain recognition from others through your own abilities. If I had told you from the beginning that I was the president of Gu's Group, I was afraid that you would feel pressured to work at Gu's Group and think that you got in because of my connections, ignoring the fact that you are excellent in your own right."
Su Niannian looked up at him: "Do you really think I'm outstanding?"
Gu Yuheng knew that Su Niannian was always somewhat insecure and lacked confidence, and that the young girl could even be timid.
But these are all due to her childhood environment.
The reason he let Su Niannian work at Gu's was to gradually guide her to become more confident.
"Yes, you are very talented, but you lack an opportunity to prove yourself. Fortunately, Gu's Group can provide this platform, allowing you to freely develop your abilities and show everyone your outstanding qualities."
Su Niannian was moved by Gu Yuheng's good intentions.
At the same time, I felt that the distance between him and me was getting further and further apart.
He is like the stars in the sky, while I am just the soil on the ground. The stars and the soil will never have a future together.
Suddenly, Su Niannian felt herself being encircled and then pulled into an embrace.
Gu Yuheng held her and whispered in her ear, "Su Niannian, never underestimate yourself. You are unique in this world, and no one can replace you."
"You have a unique personality, talent, and charm, which are your own valuable assets. Don't deny your own worth because of other people's opinions or temporary setbacks."
Su Niannian's ears burned involuntarily. She shrank back slightly, a nameless flutter rising in her heart, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
"Teacher Gu, what you said has benefited me a lot. I wish I had met you when I was a child."
Suddenly, the image of the little girl who had clung to his leg, wanting him to teach her to write, popped into Gu Yuheng's mind.
He shook his head, his body shifting slightly, but his eyes held a sense of desolation.
Su Niannian noticed his subtle movement and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Gu Yuheng snapped out of his daze and curled the corners of his lips: "No, it's not too late to meet me now. I'm glad that my social experience can help you get out of your predicament and build your confidence."
He released Su Niannian: "Go to work."
Su Niannian handed the documents to Gu Yuheng and turned back to her workstation. However, as she looked at the computer screen in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the chat in the work group that day.
Does Gu Yuheng really have someone he likes?
Who could it be?
Is this really the reason he has chosen not to get married all these years?
Thinking about this, Su Niannian felt as if a huge stone was lodged in her heart.
Seeing her staring blankly at the computer, Zhang Mei pulled her chair closer and sat down beside her, asking with concern, "What's wrong, Niannian? Are you having any difficulties at work?"
Su Niannian turned her head, paused for a moment, and said, "Sister Zhang, is President Gu really like what Lian Tianqun said? Is he not getting married because he has someone he likes?"
Zhang Mei is a long-time employee of Gu's Group. She worked in the president's office when the old president was still in office, so she knows quite a lot about the inside story of Gu's Group.
"These are all rumors circulating among people. Who could know anything about President Gu's affairs? But I heard that the Shen family has a daughter who was President Gu's classmate in college. After President Gu went to Africa as a doctor to provide aid, Shen Wanxi went there as well."
The Shen family of Kyoto is a prestigious and wealthy family, and Shen Wanxi is greatly favored in the Shen family.
It's hard not to question the motives of a young lady from a wealthy and privileged family who would go to such a harsh environment as Africa to become a doctor.
Su Niannian gently chewed on the three words 'Chen Wanxi'.
But unexpectedly, a few days later, I met this Miss Shen.
------
Su Niannian had just finished lunch and sat down to rest when her phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
She picked it up and looked down at the caller ID on the screen; it was Su Guowei calling.
None of her family members had contacted her, so why is she suddenly calling now? Could it be that something happened to her grandmother?
Thinking of this, she quickly answered the phone.
“Niannian, your grandma hasn’t seen you for so many days. She was worried about you and insisted on going out to look for you. She was hit by a car as soon as she went out.”
Li Xiumei's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Su Niannian's heart immediately clenched.
"How is Grandma now?"
"The old lady broke her leg. She just had a cast put on this morning and was just brought home. She's lying in bed now. You need to come back quickly. She's not eating or drinking. Please come back and try to persuade her."
