Chapter 743: We Are Partners
When Mu Yiliang walked up to him, Gu Qingqian was staring up at the large building in front of him, lost in thought.
"What are you looking at?" she asked, breaking his reverie.
Gu Qingqian shook his head, "Just thinking about the past... I was so overbearing and arrogant back then. You must have really disliked me, right?"
"I wouldn’t say I disliked you, but I did think about resigning quite a few times," Mu Yiliang laughed, "I didn’t expect that in the end, the reason I quit was also because of you."
Gu Qingqian parted his lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitated.
"What’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing." He smiled, relieved, "Don’t worry, I won’t waste your talent."
"No, go ahead and waste it," Mu Yiliang waved her hand, "I don’t want to be exploited by you."
Gu Qingqian responded with irritation, "I know you still have to take care of Xiaoze! Rest assured, I won’t make you work overtime anymore!"
"I resigned to become my own boss," Mu Yiliang glanced sideways at him, "You need to understand, we are partners, not just me working for you alone!"
Gu Qingqian was momentarily stunned, and a spark seemed to light up in his eyes!
His throat tightened a bit, and he gave a low "Mm": "Of course."
If she were just working for him, she could leave whenever she wanted, but if she’s an investor, it means something entirely different.
Does this mean, no matter what, she wouldn’t just leave him to fend for himself?

Although the Gu Family had fallen, Gu Benhong’s resources and connections were still intact, and some people valued old ties and were willing to give face to Gu Qingqian, so the first step after he founded the company was not too difficult.
Mu Yiliang could only marvel, after all, he used to be a second-generation rich kid; it’s much easier for him to start a business compared to ordinary people.
In the first month, Gu Qingqian was busy to the point of flying. Mu Yiliang, except for technical matters, didn’t concern herself with anything else, so most of the company work fell on Gu Qingqian, but he had no complaints. It was obvious he already had a clear plan for his direction.
Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but admire him.
Gu Qingqian rented an apartment in the area where he lived as an office. The company was still small, less than ten people, besides the two of them as bosses, the rest were young people who had just graduated from university.
Young people, although they have various shortcomings, are laudable for having ideas and daring to try new things, and they have the stamina to endure overtime. Every time Mu Yiliang saw the young people in the company being exploited by Gu Qingqian yet still blissfully smiling, she could only sigh that youth is indeed wonderful.
And she was always the one to leave the earliest.
But sometimes when Mu Yiliang was in the mood, she’d make some late-night snacks to reward their hard work.
At around eight in the evening, Mu Yiliang packed the stewed rib soup and went downstairs, ready to take it to the company.
Since the office wasn’t far from where she lived, she always walked there.
Today, the road lights in the area inexplicably went out again, and with only the hazy moonlight, she walked very slowly.
Suddenly, Mu Yiliang sensed something was wrong.
She stopped, looking around. It was pitch dark, and just when she thought she was being too sensitive, two lights suddenly turned on in the distance, illuminating the car and... that tall figure.
She felt her heart pounding wildly!
Step by step, she walked over, and gradually, the man’s face became clearly visible before her eyes. Mu Yiliang looked at his dark brows and his lips curved in a smile, her throat involuntarily choked up.
