Chapter 585: Who Gave Her the Courage
Ms. Zhao was very pleased with her ability to pick up the cues and said with a smile, "No need, I can afford a meal! Your son is at that age where you need to spend money, so don’t be polite with me!"
Mu Yiliang thought it over and didn’t insist: "Then thank you."
"Let’s go quickly." Ms. Zhao chuckled.
This young woman looked so lively; it was hard to believe she already had a seven-year-old son.
"Gu Qingqian’s sudden transfer to our department actually has its reasons," Ms. Zhao said as they walked. "Fengye is probably going to have major projects this year, and the boss is being pinned down by the other directors, so he’s in a hurry to bring his son into the company to help him. That guy is only twenty-two this year and won’t get his degree until June. Can you believe it?"
Mu Yiliang nodded in agreement: "He looks like he has a bad temper. Could he be someone who seeks quick success?"
"It’s hard to say. I’ve worked at Fengye for many years and have some connections with the big boss. From what I know, though Gu Qingqian seems unreliable, he’s actually not someone without a plan. However, even if he’s not someone who chases after quick success, now everyone is watching him, so he has to produce some achievements," Ms. Zhao said with a smile, glancing at her. "Once he realizes your potential, he’s definitely going to squeeze you hard, so you better be prepared for it."
"I’m not afraid!" Mu Yiliang clung to Ms. Zhao’s arm. "You will cover for me, won’t you!"
Ms. Zhao gave her a sideways glance: "You don’t look much older than my daughter, and your son is already seven. Young girls these days..."
Mu Yiliang chuckled awkwardly. Ms. Zhao’s daughter is still in high school; there’s quite an age difference!
As they walked out of the Fengye building, Ms. Zhao wanted to go to the supermarket next door to buy something, so she asked Mu Yiliang to wait by the roadside for a few minutes.
Mu Yiliang nodded, and after Ms. Zhao left, she stood there, bored, when suddenly a sports car screeched to a stop beside her!
She took a look, surprise! It was actually a Lamborghini, such a snazzy car! And the owner who got out looked somewhat familiar.
She hesitated for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Young Master Gu?"
Gu Qingqian saw her expression and was furious!
He’s always the one who doesn’t recognize women, yet today this woman took forever to recognize him, and even then it was with a doubtful tone?
Who gave her the nerve!
His tone was firm: "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for someone." Remembering Ms. Zhao’s advice, Mu Yiliang replied honestly.
"Waiting for who?" The man raised an eyebrow, still looking displeased.
"Waiting for Ms. Zhao. She said she would invite me to dinner," Mu Yiliang smiled. "Young Master Gu, please go about your business. I have my own car and don’t need a ride."
So this woman thought he stopped the car intending to give her a ride? How shameless!
Gu Qingqian laughed in anger: "You think I’d let you in the car?"
As if she deserved it!
Mu Yiliang sighed inwardly but cooperated by showing a regretful expression: "I was being presumptuous! I’m sorry!"
Only then did Gu Qingqian feel a little better, snorted coldly, and drove off in a cloud of dust.
Mu Yiliang speechlessly wiped her sweat, but unfortunately, this sigh of relief was just caught by Gu Qingqian in the rearview mirror, immediately making him feel uneasy again.
However, if he pursued it further now, it would make him seem petty, so he had to restrain his anger and speed away with full throttle!
Mu Yiliang continued to wait aimlessly, and when she looked up, the LED screen opposite was again showing news of FIS and Yan Sijue.
Ah, it’s really annoying! How come there’s news about this man everywhere!
