Chapter 2283: Chapter 2085: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing
His mouth opened and closed again, finally he couldn’t help but ask, “Xixi, how do you know Mr. Kang?”
It’s not that he’s overthinking; in a society full of material desires, he’s not worried about anything else, just afraid Xixi might stray into the wrong path, like being involved with KangJi in that kind of relationship.
Even though KangJi is young and promising, he’s almost forty, and if Mr. Gu were alive, he certainly wouldn’t allow the young miss to find a boyfriend around his age… let alone the fact that KangJi is already married, with a child in elementary school!
The young miss would be considered a mistress.
Gu Linxi didn’t know what he was thinking, if she did, she would surely find it amusing yet frustrating. She was browsing her phone while replying without looking up, “I helped him once.”
“?”
“Is it really that simple?”
“?”
Otherwise, how complicated should it be?
Back then, before KangJi had started the Jikang Group and was just the boss of a small company, he found her through connections to help him solve a problem. Someone attempted a hostile takeover of his company, failed, and then used surveillance to steal their confidential data and even secretly filmed his wife taking a bath. They threatened to post the video online if KangJi didn’t comply, and even had people tail his child.
Because their actions were truly disgusting, she took on the job.
After interacting with KangJi, she found him to be a good person, and they became like siblings. When KangJi was re-establishing his company, he invited her to join as a shareholder, and she invested a sum of money without further involvement.
KangJi understood her personality; every year, he simply deposited dividends into her account, and occasionally brought his child and wife to Capital City for a meal with her.
Neither of them were showy or flamboyant people, so when friends gathered for a meal, they didn’t pick expensive restaurants — usually either a tasty place or they bought ingredients to cook at home. As a result, not many people knew about the relationship between them.
Even many Jikang Group shareholders didn’t know if the second-largest shareholder was a man or a woman, fat or thin, simply assuming from her name that she was a foreigner. Over time, ‘seven’ turned into the moniker of a mysterious foreign man.
“Xixi, you better not lie to me.”
Upon noticing his off tone, Gu Linxi looked up at him, realizing what he was thinking, and laughed, “Bo, I have a boyfriend!”
He’s a fool.
Yet the only one who showed her there’s still light in this world!
A miraculously silly person, and yet for this fool she opened her heart.
While she spoke, she found KangJi’s number, walked towards the window, and took the time to say to him, “I’ll talk to him about the project. You go notify the others outside. Tell them to muster their strength and work on the plan; we’ll secure the project based on both relationships and competence!”
The young girl’s face still had the innocence that comes with age, but her eyes contained maturity and steadiness, devoid of any of a same-aged girl’s restlessness — tranquil like a deep lake, or perhaps concealing a universe of stars, inspiring trust!
Moreover, he heard her call the person on the other end of the phone by name — KangJi! So now he had no choice but to believe it.
The daughter of Mr. Gu had grown up, emerging stronger than he had imagined. Liu Hengbo felt like laughing and crying, holding back his tears and wiping his face as he left.
He had to quickly share the news with others, urging everyone to work overtime and deliver the plan. They needed to capture the Jikang Group’s project based on solid skill! Let Gu Qinian and them see! They had to make a statement for the young miss!
