Chapter 439: Didn’t Spend Your Money

Sheng Xin angrily declared on the phone, “I’m telling you, you’re fired!”

The assistant, bewildered by the scolding and sudden dismissal, suppressed his anger and asked, “Why?”

Sheng Xin sneered, “I asked you to get a fake, but who told you to directly copy the signature from the internet? Do you realize how much face I’ve lost? Do you understand the impact your actions have had on the company?”

Now that he was fired, the assistant held back no longer, “It was you who didn’t want to give to the impoverished areas and insisted on finding a fake. Now we’re in this mess! Besides, this doomed company has no future anyway. I’m telling you, I don’t want to work here anymore.”

Sheng Xin, fuming, threw her phone to the ground after the call ended.

Sheng Xin vowed, “How dare a mere employee lecture me? I swear you won’t find a job anywhere in the country!”

The recent drama also made people realize how precious Master He Zhi’s calligraphy works were, resulting in the final auction price doubling.

Su Ci looked at Gu Dai in amazement, “Daidai, you actually know about this, and you could tell the real from the fake at a glance. That’s incredible.”

After all, such discernment was not something ordinary people possessed.

Gu Dai chuckled lightly, “I’m not that amazing. I just happen to be familiar with this calligrapher.”

Su Ci shook his head, “Even with understanding, most people can’t do it. The fake was very convincing. I looked closely and didn’t find anything amiss.”

Meng Chuan laughed, explaining, “Master He Zhi and Daidai’s father were old friends. He gave her quite a few of his works. The piece Sheng Xin brought out had been given to Daidai when she turned 18 and is still kept at home.”

Su Ci nodded in realization, “I see!”

After the auction, the trio headed out of the box to settle the payment for the items they bought.

Gu Dai stopped Meng Chuan and Su Ci’s attempt to pay for her, smiling, “I brought money today, let me pay. When I can’t afford it in the future, you guys can pay then.”

Despite Gu Dai’s words, Meng Chuan and Su Ci insisted.

Meng Chuan said, “I brought money too.”

Su Ci followed, “When we can’t pay in the future, you can pay then.”

As Song Ling emerged from the box, he saw this scene, his expression turning sour, “Gu Dai.”

Gu Dai, recognizing Song Ling’s voice, frowned irritably, not wanting to engage with him.

Song Ling, noticing Gu Dai’s changing expression, clenched his fists and said irritably, “The things you bought exceed their actual value. Even if you dislike Sheng Xin and want to outdo her, you shouldn’t spend so much in a fit of emotion.”

Gu Dai looked at Song Ling, retorting, “You and I have no relationship, barely acquaintances, so what right do you have to lecture me?”

Song Ling stiffened, finally managing to say, “We are business partners.”

Gu Dai replied, “As a business partner, you’re overstepping. How much I spend is my choice. I’m not using your money, and if I’m not mistaken, this is a charity banquet. Spending more is my way of helping the impoverished.”

Song Ling watched Gu Dai walk away, unable to find a response.

Meng Chuan looked at Song Ling, calmly stating, “Even if it wasn’t a charity banquet, I, as her older brother, would support Daidai’s spending. I wouldn’t blame her. So, you, an outsider, should mind your own business and not interfere in others’ affairs.”

Su Ci remained silent, only giving Song Ling a few seconds of her gaze before leaving.

Zhou Ci, observing Song Ling’s stunned expression, shook his head disdainfully, once again feeling that Gu Dai had been blind to have ever seen something in him.

Meng Chuan caught up with Gu Dai, seeing her silent and seemingly heartbroken, quickly comforted her, “Daidai, don’t let such people affect your mood.”

Gu Dai, lost in thought, let out a soft “Ah” and quickly clarified, “I’m just a bit hungry, thinking about what to eat later.”

As she finished speaking, her stomach growled on cue.

Su Ci and Meng Chuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

After checking his phone, Meng Chuan suggested, “There’s a new restaurant nearby that looks good.”

Gu Dai agreed, “Then let’s go there.”

Upon arriving, Gu Dai had just gotten out of the car when she suddenly heard Su Ting’s voice and saw him quickly approaching her..
