Chapter 172: Each With Their Own Thoughts
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Cheng casually clicked on a popular television drama which had a business theme.
The female lead in the drama was a country bumpkin. After being framed and accused of many things, she finally stabilized her footing and won the male lead’s appreciation and love. In the end, she dominated the workplace.
Among the setbacks suffered by the female lead were workplace bullying and Pick-up Artist.
Gu Cheng thought for a moment and suddenly felt that this method could also be used on Mo Yu.
After all, at the jewelry exihibition, Mo Yu had received too much praise. Gu Cheng clearly felt that Mo Yu had confidence when facing him, unlike the obsequiousness when they first met.
If this continued, Mo Yu might one day complain to Gu Lian before him and cry that everything she did was driven by him.
Gu Cheng thought of the outcome that he might get and could not help but shiver.
He could not let her develop like this. He had to think of a way to deal a blow to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu, who was shopping, suddenly sneezed. Su Mei immediately pulled her back with concern and asked, “Xiao Yu, are you alright? Did you wear too little yesterday and catch a cold? Why don’t we go home?”
Mo Yu rubbed her nose and muttered to herself, who was scolding her? She comforted Su Mei, “It’s fine. My nose is just itchy. Mom, I’ll buy you some clothes later. Don’t just focus on me. Let’s dress up beautifully together.”
Mo Yu and Su Mei chatted and laughed. Unknowingly, they arrived at a jade shop.
Su Mei smiled and let Mo Yu take a look. If she liked it, she could find someone to carve that jade raw material and make it into various jewelry.
The manager, who was sitting at the counter and playing with his phone, heard the conversation between the two of them. He was about to mock them when he looked up and realized that it was Mo Yu and Su Mei. He immediately stood up.
It was true that he rarely came into contact with such wealthy people, but after watching three days of live-streams, he could naturally recognize that they were Su Mei and Mo Yu.
He hurriedly put on a smile and welcomed them warmly. “The two of you can take a look at whatever you like. You can try it. Our family also has a jade carving master. If you like it, you can contact us for custom-made ones.”
The jade that Mo Yu opened at that time caused a huge commotion. The trending topics were all jade. Some experts even directly valued it at hundreds of millions.
The store manager was already happily calculating how much he could embezzle if he could really use that jade material to make jewelry.
The store manager looked at Mo Yu, who was seriously looking at the styles, and could not help but envy her. After all, not everyone from the countryside had the chance to become a phoenix and marry into a rich family.
Not only was Mo Yu looking at the jade jewelry, but Gu Lian was also looking.
After he ended the meeting, a few senior shareholders and higher-ups came over to ask how he planned to deal with the two jade stones.
Gu Lian was extremely annoyed. In the end, he found a few jade jewelry designs on the computer and displayed them. Whenever someone came to ask, he would say, “I’m thinking of what kind of jewelry to make for my Madam.” When the few people who came to ask around received this reply, they naturally did not have any improper thoughts about the jade material. They could only say a few flattering words like ‘President Gu really loves his Madam’ and leave.
Secretary Wen, who had been helping Gu Lian with the documents, smiled strangely when she heard this answer.
Alright, she believed in love again. Indeed, the President and Madam were truly in love!
Gu Lian did not know what they were thinking. He only sighed that Mo Yu, the shield, was really very useful.
Now that everyone thought that he loved Mo Yu very much, it was much more convenient for him to socialize.
Mo Yu became a reason for him to reject things.
For example, for dinner invitations, he could answer, “I have to go back early to accompany my Madam tonight. Next time.”
When the other party heard his words, they could only express their regret.
Moreover, he had established a persona of Mo Yu being highly favored by him to numb those who had designs on him.
If a person stayed in a high position for too long, it was inevitable that there would be some disloyal people around him. If a person did not have any weaknesses or things that could threaten him, many dangerous things would fall on them.
Gu Lian was well aware of this logic, so he used Mo Yu to establish a weakness for himself. When someone wanted to do something big, they would naturally not find trouble with him personally. Instead, they would choose to use Mo Yu as a threat.
Gu Lian did not think that he would develop feelings for Mo Yu in the future, so he used this shield very smoothly..
