"So, if you are not nearsighted, why do you need to wear glasses?"

Sheng Quan tried to hold back for several times, but finally couldn't help it and asked Gu Zhaowen.

Gu Zhao pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his face. It must be said that he looked quite good in them, and his appearance was completely different from Yu Xiangwan's.

The glasses of similar style, when worn on Yu Xiangwan, would make her look like a gentleman, but when worn on him, it would make her look like a complete scumbag. Combined with the calm tone, it was simply amazing: "I think this is your aesthetic preference. Wearing it will help you like me better, and there is a certain chance that you will pay attention to the company."

Sheng Quan: ...It is indeed so.

She asked why Gu Zhao kept staring at Yu Xiangwan's face that day.

Fortunately, Gu Zhao is a person who only demands of himself. If Yu Xiangwan had the same idea, she might ask everyone in the company to wear gold-rimmed glasses.

She looked at Gu Zhao who pushed his glasses twice in just a few words, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Even if I have this aesthetic preference, you won't feel comfortable wearing them. There's no need to force yourself. Besides, people who are not nearsighted may suffer from eye fatigue when wearing plain glasses. Why bother?"

Gu Zhao still looked calm and composed: "I am not feeling uncomfortable, it's just a normal discomfort."

Sheng Quan: "Let me remind you, you've been wearing it for three days and you're still not used to it."

Gu Zhao had his own logic: "Don't worry, the adaptation period for humans is generally less than 30 days. I only need to wait another 27 days and I will be fully adapted."

After saying that, he pushed the frame of his glasses again.

Sheng Quan simply gave up arguing with him. This guy Gu Zhao had his own logical system. If he really continued talking to him, he would only be confused by it.

She reached out her hand directly: "Give it to me."

Gu Zhao didn't want to move. After hesitating for two seconds, he finally raised his hand reluctantly, took off his glasses and put them in Sheng Quan's hand.

After he gave her the glasses, he sat there with his lips pursed and expressionless. Sheng Quan was familiar with him and knew that he was not unhappy, but just in a "contemplative state". He put away his glasses and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how to make you always choose me."

Sheng Quan: "Wait a minute? What choice?"

Gu Zhao raised his eyes, his light grey eyes staring straight at him: "You are the one who basically selects all the company's employees, but I am not. I just happen to meet your requirements for a COO, and I happened to be introduced to you by Wang Zhengzheng. Even if it wasn't me, you would have chosen someone else."

"You seem to trust them naturally, but not me. You trust the producer more than me. Even Jinjiu, you trusted him in a very short time. Apart from their appearance, I can't find any other reason why you trusted him so quickly, so all I can do is imitate their appearance."

His tone remained calm, and he stated his thoughts very directly: "I hope you can give me the same trust, which is very important to me."

Sheng Quan: “…”

This guy really deserves to be considered a psychology major.

She does have a natural trust in other people because she knows everyone's personality, experiences, and endings. Even Hua Qing, Liu Zian, and Mingqi only appear briefly in the book in one or two sentences.

But Gu Zhao had never appeared. She tried hard to recall and had indeed never seen Gu Zhao's name. However, the book did mention that when a character went to the hospital, he saw a very handsome mixed-race man being carried out of an ambulance.

It was said that he drank too much while discussing business and died on the same day.

The character sighs that everyone has a hard time, and then decides to quit drinking.

Sheng Quan suspected that it was Gu Zhao.

His name didn't even appear in the book, and he died tragically.

And now, this mixed-race president, who should have died because of working too hard, is earnestly waiting for her response.

Looking at Gu Zhao who was looking at her seriously, she couldn't say, "Because you died early, I didn't have the time to trust you when I was reading the book."

Sheng Quan: "I don't know why you think I won't choose you."

She listed them one by one for him: "With your education, your abilities, your qualifications, and your dedication to the company, I believe no one can surpass you in this position."

Gu Zhao said indifferently: "I used to think so, and then Chen Xuanzheng and He Qi chose a mediocre person with no ability and tried to let him replace me."

Sheng Quan thought about the two people who came to apologize with gifts a few days ago: "Are they so stupid? Then why did they choose that person?"

"He is Chen Xuanzheng's brother-in-law and He Qi's brother-in-law."

Sheng Quan suddenly understood.

She immediately said: "Don't worry, I don't have a sister or a wife, and I have a normal IQ and a quick mind. Even if Mars hits the Earth, I would never want to replace you for no reason."

At this moment, Sheng Quan seemed to be possessed by her boss from her previous life. She held Gu Zhao's hand and said seriously, "I do like to trust them, but that kind of liking is different from trusting you."

"Gu Zhao, you are the best partner I have ever met."

Although she currently only has this one partner, this is indeed the truth.

She would be crazy not to trust an employee who is so devoted to the company.

I really don't know what those two guys in Wansheng are thinking. If Gu Zhao was under her boss in her previous life, the other party would definitely want to worship him. Not to mention replacing Gu Zhao, I'm afraid that even if Gu Zhao wanted to leave, he would find ways to keep him.

Sheng Quan said a lot in one breath:

"I've entrusted most of the company's affairs to you not because I don't care about the company, but because I believe that the company will thrive under your management. I'm very fortunate to have a chief executive like you to help me develop the company, and I hope to work with you to push Xingmang to the top of the world."

These were her true feelings, but after she said them, Sheng Quan felt that they were a bit corny and too official.

Gu Zhao wouldn't think that she was just making empty promises, right?

As a result, when she looked carefully, she saw that Gu Zhao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his light gray eyes stared at her blankly, as if he was completely moved by her.

Although the fluctuations in facial expressions seemed very small, for Gu Zhao, who was not good at making facial expressions, these were already quite large fluctuations.

Sheng Quan: Gu Zhao, who is like a robot, actually fell for the flattery? Gu Zhao really fell for it.

Specifically, his ears turned red.

If you don't know, you might think Sheng Quan was praising him like he wrote an 800-word essay, but in fact, she was just telling the truth.

"Thanks."

Gu Zhao paused for more than ten seconds before thanking him in a hoarse voice: "I will not let you down. Whether now or in the future, I will always be your strongest arm."

He rarely said such things. After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes a little uncomfortably, avoiding Sheng Quan's sight, opened the drawer, took out a box and pushed it towards Sheng Quan.

"This is for you."

He thought for a moment and added, "I had it custom-made at a physical store. It should be a good fit for you."

Sheng Quan was quite surprised and a little delighted: "Thank you."

You know, in order to devote more time to work, Gu Zhao usually buys daily necessities online, and even things like opening express boxes are done by his assistant.

Even when buying clothes, the store staff would come to his house to measure his measurements and then send the clothes to him after they were custom made.

Such a Gu Zhao actually went to a physical store to buy her a gift. For him, this was already an act of great sincerity.

So, those two people in Wansheng are fools. They didn’t even know how to cherish such a good person like Gu Zhao. No wonder the company is going to go bankrupt.

Sheng Quan was in a good mood. He opened the box with a smile, and then his smile froze.

"Is this... an official seal shell?"

Gu Zhao seemed quite proud of the gift he had given. He pointed at it and said, "This is also a diamond."

Sheng Quan looked at the outer shell of the official seal in his hand, which was inlaid with a sparkling diamond.

It is indeed a diamond, and judging by its size, the price should not be cheap. However, Gu Zhao does not have big money, but he has plenty of “small money”, so this price is definitely not a problem for him.

She never imagined that she would receive a gift of a "diamond seal shell" in her life.

No wonder it has to be customized. Although the seal shell can be replaced by yourself as long as the seal is not damaged, which company would have its seal shell inlaid with diamonds?

Looking at Gu Zhao who seemed quite confident about the gift he had chosen, Sheng Quan could only smile and take it: "Thank you, I like it very much."

No matter what, it was Gu Zhao's intention, and for Gu Zhao, whose mind was full of work, the importance of the official seal was self-evident.

The reason he gave her this was probably because he learned from Yu Xiangwan and combined what he thought was important with what he thought she would like.

Come to think of it, having a seal shell inlaid with diamonds seems pretty cool too.

Seeing Sheng Quan accept it with a smile and saying that he would put the official seal in, Gu Zhao's tense body relaxed a little. He still looked very calm:

"As long as you like."

After Sheng Quan went out, he continued to work. As he was typing on the keyboard, a message popped up on Fetion.

Mr. Sheng: [I am fine. It is indeed very bright and shiny. Thank you. I will post it on Weibo to show off the gift you gave me.]

Gu Zhao replied seriously and went to Weibo.

His phone has all the necessary apps, but most of the time he doesn't click on them.

Gu Zhao’s account was a string of garbled names that came with the system. He clicked on the “Follow” button, and saw only Sheng Quan.

[Sheng Quan]: These are gifts from two great friends. Although they were not given at the same time, they look so good together. I love them! Picture: a diamond hairpin and a diamond seal case with a company seal.

Sheng Quan’s fame is now comparable to that of a celebrity. Less than a minute after he posted his post, there were already many comments.

【Ahhhhhh! Wife, wife! I’m coming! 】

[Is this the life of rich people? All gifts are diamonds! ]

[It was so bright!!! I fell down! I needed the help of Quanquan’s wife to get up! ]

[It’s really beautiful!!!]

[Is it beautiful? I bought it for money (dog head)]

[Rich people even have diamond hairpins! ]

[More than that! Rich people even have their official seals inlaid with diamonds!!!]

Gu Zhao has never liked to stay on platforms like Weibo. He believes that such fragmented information will lead to inattention at work, decreased attention, and a waste of time.

Gu Zhao suddenly remembered last winter.

He heard his two partners chatting, but the conversation was about him.

——"What a freak! He gave me a gold-engraved official seal shell and said it was a gift."

——"He doesn't really think of us as friends, does he? Damn, who would be willing to confide in someone like him? He's so cold and makes people uncomfortable. Tsk, I feel sick just thinking about him. By the way, how are you going to deal with that official seal shell?"

——"Of course we use him. Let him have a look and coax him. But now the company has grown so big, we don't need him anymore. It's just that the shares he holds are a bit troublesome. We shouldn't have given him shares in the first place. So, later we... Gu Zhao?! You, when did you come?"

"Give it back to me."

——"W-what?"

"Give me back the gift I gave you."

Not long after, Gu Zhao severely damaged his two partners and left Wansheng alone.

Why would such a smart genius start a company with two partners who are far inferior to him? With his ability, he could have found a partner with more capital, more background and more experience.

Perhaps it was because he once thought that they were friends.

**** After Sheng Quan happily admired the gifts he received, he began to settle the small change.

Naturally, Jinjiu's favorability had already exceeded eighty, and his career level had soared to thirty-seven.

One show, seven years of accumulation, and its own strength have made the previously unknown Jinjiu extremely popular, instantly surpassing Yan Hui, who had just turned 20 years old thanks to Yuan Zixuan's efforts.

However, this does not mean that Yan Hui is worse than Jin Jiu. It's just that their career directions are different. Yan Hui is an actor, and now is not the time for his works to be exposed, while Jin Jiu is a singer, and as long as he goes on stage, he can win the love of the audience.

Sheng Quan was not in a hurry at all.

A steady stream of water will last a long time.

You should know that the beneficiaries are not paid monthly, but monthly.

In other words, not only can Jinjiu bring her cash and longevity in return, but the rising career of her previous sponsor Yan Hui will also bring her rewards.

[Settlement completed successfully.] 006 calculated the account for Sheng Quan: [Feedback funds: 60 million]

[Host's remaining lifespan: three months and five days.]

Sheng Quan narrowed his eyes slightly: [It seems that the increase in life span mainly depends on career development. ]

The favorability of Yan Hui and Jin Jiu both exceeded 80%. Since it would not be reported after exceeding the limit, she did not know the exact amount, but the number of days of lifespan increased both times was pitifully small.

A career age of 37 only bought her three months of life.

Although their careers will surely rise with each passing month, and from the current perspective, the higher they go, the greater the multiplication of their lifespans will be, but that is all in the future.

Now just three months is not very safe.

Sheng Quan made up his mind and said to 006: [I want to do something big

】

006 immediately said: [I support! ]

After supporting, it finally remembered to ask: [How does the host want to make a big move? ]

Sheng Quan: [I am looking for someone who can quickly improve his career in a short period of time.]

Neither Yan Hui nor Jin Jiu’s professions could allow their career speed to soar to more than 80% overnight. The 46-year-old Jin Jiu might be able to do it, and the 40-something Yan Hui might be able to do so, but now, the younger versions of them still need to accumulate bit by bit.

So what kind of profession can help people quickly improve their career? Sheng Quan thought about this for several days, and 006 has already released new task funds.

This time it is not that exaggerated. After all, the last 100 million was restricted by the Internet, so this time it is just an ordinary 40 million.

However, these 40 million plus the funds contributed by Sheng Quan himself add up to 100 million, which is still a sum of money that cannot be underestimated no matter where it is obtained.

She was not in a hurry to decide on a sponsor, but instead began a large amount of job screening, and she had to select someone who had some connection to the entertainment industry. After all, this was her biggest advantage as a book traveler.

Mr. Sheng is very busy.

She thought about it while soaking in the hot spring, while eating snacks, while swimming in the private pool, while getting a massage, and even while having a spa.

On the fifth day, Sheng Quan was still thinking while eating. While he was thinking, his cell phone suddenly rang.

She saw the name: Lin Aike.

By the way, Yu Xiangwan said that she was about to finish filming, so it should be the call to greet her after she finished filming.

Then we must have a meal and go shopping together.

Sheng Quan picked up the phone in a good mood. As soon as he answered, he heard Lin Aike's anxious and tearful voice: "Mr. Sheng, I'm at Room 1195, Ronghui Hotel in Shanghai. Please help me. I can't get through to the company phone. They did it on purpose. They sold me out. I dare not call the police. Now...if I'm photographed by paparazzi, they will definitely write something wrong. I can only ask you for help, Mr. Sheng..."

The tall man who was standing guard outside suddenly heard Mr. Sheng inside swearing.

He had been with her for so long, but he had only heard her swear when she was watching a TV series and her favorite character died.

Obviously, Mr. Sheng is not watching TV series now.

Because she had already walked out with a cold face and a menacing look: "Go to Ronghui Hotel."

"Brother Jiang, do you have any colleagues who are more tight-lipped? I want to hire them to help me keep the place going."

The driver, Jiang Lu, was sitting in the driver's seat and looked back at Sheng Quan: "Ms. Sheng, fighting is illegal."

"I know, so I'm just trying to keep things going." Sheng Quan was angry, but he didn't lose his mind: "These people bully the weak and fear the strong. Once I show up, they probably won't want to do anything."

Of course, we can’t always think positively, we also have to think about the less favorable possibilities.

So she's already started recruiting people, right? It's always a good idea to be more prepared.

After Jiang Lu confirmed that Sheng Quan really wanted to call someone, he took out his phone and said, "Time is tight, I may not be able to call many people, I will try my best."

Half an hour later

Sheng Quan looked at the dozen or so strong men gathered outside the Ronghui Hotel and was silent for two seconds.

Someone even brought a bag and handed it to Jiang Lu when he saw him. Jiang Lu put it in Sheng Quan's hand and whispered, "It's a few sets of women's clothes."

Sheng Quan: "...Thank you. I will reimburse you three times the amount if the problem is solved."

She was just thinking about getting here quickly and didn't think of this. Fortunately, Jiang Lu bought it.

Driver brother, always considerate.

The hotel staff came over to inquire after seeing what happened. Before Sheng Quan could say anything, Jiang Lu stepped forward skillfully. It was unknown what he said, but the other party hesitantly made way.

After getting on the elevator, Sheng Quan asked him, "What did you tell them?"

Jiang Lu said in a deep voice: "I said we are here to catch an adulterer. This is a family matter and we will solve it internally."

"Hotels have always been a business where the principle of less trouble is worse than more. As long as the guests don't call the police or smash the hotel's things, they generally won't interfere, and at most they will gossip a little behind their backs."

As he was talking, he seemed to suddenly remember that he worked at the LaCrosse Hotel, and added, "It's just that ordinary hotels would handle it this way. You can rest assured about the privacy and security of the LaCrosse Hotel."

Sheng Quan: "Don't worry, I feel relieved when they sent you to my side."

This is not a driver at all, he is an all-round bodyguard.

Room 1195 is a suite, just as Lin Aike said on the phone.

When they arrived at the door of the room, Jiang Lu signaled them to stay at the back, and a group of people, well-trained, found a viewing angle that was out of sight of the peephole and hid there, while he went up and knocked on the door.

Someone inside asked, “Who is it?!”

The voice sounded very irritable and impatient.

Jiang Lu's voice was originally very low, but he didn't know how he managed to make his voice lighter in response: "Hello, we found Miss Lin's phone. She has been receiving calls. We brought it to you as soon as we found it."

The male voice inside paused, and after two seconds, the door opened.

As soon as he popped his head out, Jiang Lu pushed the door open with all his might. A group of people came in one after another. When Sheng Quan came in, he turned around and closed the door with his backhand.

Sheng Quan also saw the scene inside the house. There were three people in the living room, a middle-aged man, two skinny-looking bodyguards, and a camera next to them.

The two bodyguards were standing at the door of a room, and they seemed to be trying to force the door open. There were obvious signs of cracks on the door, but it didn't look like the two bodyguards had gained any advantage, as there were bloodstains on their faces.

One of them had blood still coming out of his head, and judging by the broken pieces of the vase on the ground, he must have been hit hard on the head by the vase.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had been keeping in touch with them, she could only feel at ease after seeing with her own eyes that Lin Ai was safe.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He looked at all the strong men in the room with a bit of fear. Then he quickly locked onto Sheng Quan, the only one who looked like he couldn't fight. He must have been drinking. Not only did he not recognize Sheng Quan at all, he also staggered forward under the influence of alcohol.

"What? Robbery? In broad daylight, clearly..."

As soon as his hand rested on Sheng Quan's shoulder, Sheng Quan was about to kick him to kill his descendants.

Jiang Lu directly kicked the man with his knee, knocking him to the ground with a bang, and he flew more than a meter away.

This kick miraculously cured his drunkenness, and he instantly understood the current situation.

He was on the ground, groaning in pain and begging for mercy: "I won't do it again, I won't do it again, don't hit me, I didn't do anything, I was just trying to scare them."

Sheng Quan looked at Jiang Lu, who had already put down his legs as if nothing had happened: "Isn't it illegal?"

Jiang Lu said in a deep voice: "It's not illegal." "This is a courageous act."
