Gu Chu came to the front desk and said to the receptionist, “Hello, I want to see CEO Wang.”

The receptionist asked politely, “Do you have an appointment?”

“No.” Gu Chu shook his head and asked her, “Can I make one now?”

“And you are?”

“Gu Chu, head of operations of the GU Group.”

The front desk lady suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her meaningfully, then she lowered her eyes and said, “I’ll make an appointment for you, but CEO Wang’s schedule is tight for the next month. I’m afraid he won’t be able to see you anytime soon. Please leave your contact information. I’ll contact you again when CEO Wang is free to see you.”

Gu Chu’s secretary immediately widened her eyes. “A month?”

Gu Chu’s face was very calm. “Okay, thank you.”

After leaving her phone number, Gu Chu pulled the secretary away and left the building.

“Director Gu, if we go back now, wouldn’t we have wasted our trip?” The secretary asked in annoyance.

“We’re not leaving.” She took out her cell phone and showed it to the secretary. “Here, August 19th, Qianke Hotel.”

“What’s this?” The secretary asked curiously.

“Today is August 19th. It’s his birthday. He’ll be having dinner there.”

“I see.”

“Yes, let’s go and meet him tonight.”

“But, why did you leave your number just now?”

Gu Chu snorted. “Think about it. As soon as we reported our names, she immediately told us that CEO Wang was not free for a month. What does that mean?”

The secretary was a little confused. “Why?”

“She just works the front desk. How would she know the boss’ schedule? Since she said that, it means that CEO Wang had instructed her in advance. That’s why she rejected us so tactfully.”

The secretary was stunned when she heard that. “Is that so?”

“Let’s go. We still have a tough battle to fight tonight.”

On the way to the hotel, she kept getting Wechat messages. She picked her phone up and saw that they were all sent to her by Lin Yin.

“Damn.”

“Hahahahahaha.”

“I’m dying of laughter.”

“I’m dead.”

“…”

Gu Chu replied, “Are you crazy?”

Lin Yin quickly replied, “It’s very lively today. Everyone is talking about what happened between you and Feng Jia last night.”

“What?”

“They say that young people like you are so passionate. Once you meet, you’re like a raging fire. You can’t help but… exercise intensely.” Lin Yin even added a blush emoji.

Gu Chu: “…”

Gu Chu: “That’s it?” She thought there’s more.

Lin Yin replied with a laughing emoji. “This is awesome. Those people who spread the rumors about your canceled engagement have now been slapped in the face! They won’t dare to spread rumors anymore!”

Gu Chu did not expect that.

Fine. Who asked them to make up stories about her? This should teach them a lesson!

The temperature in Yangcheng City was higher than that of Haicheng City. In the hot weather, Gu Chu wore a long dress with a revealing back with two thin straps. She wore a white jade pendant around her neck.

She gave her secretary the day off as she was suffering from menstrual cramps.

She was tall and slim, and looked exquisite. When she walked into the hotel, she attracted a lot of people’s attention.

However, unlike everyone else, there was a man who got out of a Maybach. His eyes were indifferent and aloof, and he looked dignified and cool.

The secretary behind him looked at Gu Chu’s back and said, “CEO Feng, that seems to be Miss Gu.”

He didn’t know that Gu Chu had also come to Yangcheng City, but on second thought, she probably came for the Yangchang project.

The secretary whispered, “Should we go and say hello to her?”

Feng Jia glanced at his watch. It was time for his appointment so he said, “Go and see who she’s going to see.”

“Okay.”

Feng Jia first went to the road opposite, to an unknown small shop.

Gu Chu didn’t notice that he was here. She was focused on looking for CEO Wang.

She glanced around and soon saw him in a private seat. There were seven or eight men and women around him. They were eating and drinking, looking very lively.

Gu Chu found a seat and sat down. The waiter walked over and handed the menu to her. “Hello, miss. This is our menu.”

“Give me a bottle of wine,” She said.

Soon, the waiter brought a bottle over. She poured a glass and walked over to CEO Wang with it.

Those people were flattering him. “CEO Wang, it’s not fun to eat like this. Do you want a private room to play mahjong?”
