Chapter 22 He has plenty of money; he'll squeeze as much as he can out of it.
Gu Ye took the documents from Yang Yang without saying a word.
After handing the documents to Gu Ye, Yang Yang quickly returned to her workstation.
Chu Xinglan had no way to refute me, and I consciously returned to my work post.
“Lan…” Gu Ye paused for a moment. After all, they were in the company and there were so many people present. It was not appropriate to be too intimate with Chu Xinglan. Moreover, keeping his distance from her was also a way to protect her. Gu Ye changed the subject and said, “Secretary Chu, come with me to meet the client.”
"Me?" Chu Xinglan was stunned. It was her first day at work, and she was already entrusted with such an important task? Shouldn't Yang Yang be accompanying him?
Was it because of her hidden relationship with Gu Ye? Or because of her beautiful appearance?
"What? You don't want to do this anymore?" Gu Ye raised an eyebrow coldly.
That bastard Gu Ye actually used his status to pressure her.
Chu Xinglan angrily clenched her small hands. She suddenly missed Gu Ye, who had spoken gently to her and cared for her deeply. It was a pity that they would never have that day again.
"Secretary Chu?" Xue Bai waved his hand in front of Chu Xinglan's eyes.
Finding herself somewhat distracted, Chu Xinglan met Gu Ye's cold gaze and noticed that her other colleagues were looking at her with strange expressions.
This new female secretary is fierce! She actually dared to defy President Gu on the very first day? Everyone knows that the decisive and ruthless President Gu hates disobeying him the most.
Chu Xinglan was naturally not that bold. She immediately smiled and said, "Yes, of course I'll do it. No problem. President Gu, I'll go with you right away."
Gu Ye was having a really tough time. He was deeply in love with Chu Xinglan, but on the surface he had to pretend to be cold to her and speak to her in a harsh tone.
"Let's go then!" Gu Ye said in a hoarse voice.
She originally thought that Gu Ye would try every means to exploit her value, but she didn't expect that she was just a mascot following Gu Ye. Xue Bai did all the work, and she just stayed by Gu Ye's side, eating and drinking well and being taken care of. So it is not an exaggeration to call her a mascot.
"Gu Ye, do I look like a pretty vase?" Chu Xinglan asked seriously, bringing her face close to Gu Ye's.
Gu Ye stared at her face again and again. Her face was delicate and pointed, with a pretty nose and big eyes. Such a face was enough to make many men fall for her, yet she didn't seem to realize it at all.
"Don't you like being a pretty face?" Gu Ye asked seriously.
"nonsense,
Before Chu Xinglan could finish her sentence, she heard Gu Ye calmly say, "Not every pretty face earns a monthly salary of 30, right?"
"Three, three hundred thousand? Are you sure you mean three hundred thousand per month, and not thirty thousand?"
Chu Xinglan clicked her tongue, thinking she had misheard.
Seeing Chu Xinglan's greedy look, Gu Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
As long as she loves money, that's fine. That way, he'll have a way to keep her by his side. However, the sudden transformation of the dignified eldest daughter of the Chu family into a gold digger is quite unexpected for him.
But at this moment, Chu Xinglan was thinking about something else entirely.
With 300,000 a month, that's 900,000 in three months. That's enough for her to live a comfortable life and have peace of mind while preparing for childbirth. After her postpartum period, she can even hire a postpartum nanny to take care of the baby.
Therefore, she must do her best to find the murderer within these three months.
"Mommy, don't give the baby to someone else." The little baby hugged Chu Xinglan's neck and cried, as if he were a poor child who had been abandoned.
Chu Xinglan quickly comforted the baby, "Baby, that's just what Mommy was thinking. You'll still be several months away from being born. We'll see how things go then, okay?"
Spoiling a child is one thing, but she is a living person, and living people have to consider many things. So she can't guarantee that she won't leave the child with a nanny while she goes out to earn money. After all, raising a child is not a simple matter, especially for someone living alone, which requires considering many things.
The little baby was different from ordinary people, and she knew how hard her mother worked, so she stopped crying.
"Our dad has plenty of money, so why not squeeze more out of him?"
As expected of her son, his thoughts are remarkably similar to hers.
"I'd actually be happy to be this vase," Chu Xinglan chuckled, then started bargaining, "Since we're already 'vases,' can we raise the price a bit more?"
"If we raise the price any further, it won't be the price of a vase anymore. Are you sure you want to raise it?"
Gu Ye pinched Chu Xinglan's delicate chin with his well-defined fingers, his tone laced with ambiguity.
Chu Xinglan was startled, quickly shook off Gu Ye's hand, and took a step back.
Gu Ye appears to be a gentleman in public, but in private he transforms into a beast.
"Well... let's not talk about it then. I think this price is pretty good." Chu Xinglan chuckled.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at their hotel room.
Chu Xinglan suddenly stopped, feeling a little flustered as she thought about Gu Ye's appearance just now. However, as Gu Ye's personal secretary, she could only reach out and open the guest room door.
After Gu Ye went inside, she remained standing outside the door without moving.
"Aren't you coming in?" Gu Ye turned around and glanced at her.
"I'll wait for Assistant Xue here," Chu Xinglan said with a forced smile.
"Afraid I'll eat you up?" Gu Ye's deep voice was now even more gentle and captivating, and the expression on his face was inscrutable.
"No, no!" Chu Xinglan felt guilty.
Just then, Xue Bai came over carrying the newly bought desserts.
"Why haven't they gone in yet?" Xue Bai stared at Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan, puzzled.
After Xue Bai arrived, Chu Xinglan saw that the little baby's eyes were shining.
Chu Xinglan quickly snatched the dessert from Xue Bai's hand and waved it in front of Gu Ye, saying, "I've been waiting for this."
She would never let him know that she was afraid of being alone with him in a room.
This dessert was bought by Xue Bai for Chu Xinglan. Of course, he wouldn't buy her dessert for no reason, nor did he know she liked desserts. The idea came from Gu Ye who suddenly asked her: "What do you want to eat?"
Without thinking, Chu Xinglan said she wanted to eat sweets. The reason she had such a fondness for sweets was because the baby wanted to eat them, and she ate them to feed the baby.
But others didn't know, and neither did Gu Ye. Seeing that she had suddenly changed her taste and developed a sweet tooth, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"You love sweets so much, be careful not to gain weight," Gu Ye said as he continued walking forward.
"What does it matter to you if I gain weight?" Chu Xinglan muttered to herself.
Because Xue Bai was there, Chu Xinglan followed him into the room.
"Assistant Xue, didn't President Gu have a secretary named Shirley before? Why has she suddenly disappeared?"
Chu Xinglan asked curiously as she forked small pieces of cake into her mouth.
Chu Xinglan was unaware that Gu Ye paused slightly, but quickly resumed walking as if nothing had happened.
When asked, Xue Bai's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He turned to look at Chu Xinglan and deliberately changed the subject: "The boss is right. You won't be pretty if you gain weight. You should eat less sweets."
