Chapter 490: Contract Signed
Translator: _Min_ |
Song Ling, who had hoped for a moment of satisfaction upon hearing Zhao Xuan’s agreement, found himself only more irritated.
He coldly questioned, “Agreeing to what? You’re supposed to be one of our company’s top assistants, yet you just parrot the boss’s words without any thought of your own. Forget about your bonus this month; take some time to reflect.”
Zhao Xuan, after being hung up on by Song Ling, cursed in frustration.
He thought Song Ling was acting irrationally, deliberately looking for reasons to dock his salary.
Standing in the dark, Song Ling stared out at the scenery, his thoughts growing heavier.
He couldn’t help but wonder if he had arrived earlier, could he have been the one to save Gu Dai?
Musing to the void, Song Ling softly said, “Gu Dai, you always talked about repaying kindness. And now, to repay, aren’t you also with the one who saved you?”
If Gu Dai knew of Song Ling’s wild assumptions, she would likely be unable to resist slapping some sense into him.
After Su Ting fell asleep, Gu Dai deleted the surveillance footage of her stabbing the attacker, then received a call from her subordinate.
“Boss, we’ve taught Lin Hong a lesson as you ordered, and then he was taken away by someone named Chen Bin. Do you want us to bring him back and lock him up?”
“Chen Bin…” Gu Dai mused, then decided, “Since it was Chen Bin who took Lin Hong, let’s leave it be.”
She trusted that Lin Hong’s days in Chen Bin’s hands wouldn’t be easy.
The next day, when discussing the project, Gu Dai brought Su Ting along.
Feeling uneasy, Su Ting declined, “Daidai, I’m injured. If there’s danger, I can’t protect you, and I’ll just be a burden. It’s better if I wait for you at home.”
Gu Dai fed Su Ting some cake while softly saying, “I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone in the hotel, and nothing will happen today.”
Relieved by Gu Dai’s arrangements for protection, Su Ting no longer worried.
Compared to the counterfeit Lin Hong, Chen Bin was legitimate. He first took Gu Dai to the factory, and after verifying the product, she readily signed the contract.
Seeing Gu Dai’s care for Su Ting, Chen Bin commented, “You two have a wonderful relationship. Watching you has made me miss my wife.”
Gu Dai had met Chen Bin’s elegant wife in the hospital the day before.
Chen Bin shared, “I’ve been too focused on work, neglecting my family. Seeing you two has made me realize what I’ve missed. I’ve decided to delegate my responsibilities gradually and spend more time with my family.”
After speaking, he advised Gu Dai and Su Ting, “There are many opportunities in work. Don’t neglect each other for short-term gains, lest you regret it later in life.”
Gu Dai and Su Ting exchanged glances and nodded, “We understand.”
Chen Bin, noticing a familiar car nearby, squinted, “That car looks familiar. I think I’ve seen it several times today.”
Gu Dai turned and, after a moment of thought, realized who it was: Song Ling.
Originally, Song Ling had planned to leave as soon as he woke up in the morning. To his surprise, he saw Gu Dai and Su Ting leaving the house. Instinctively, he followed behind them, trailing them for the entire morning.
Feeling the gaze of the group, Song Ling realized he had been spotted.
Chen Bin approached, knocking on his car before asking coldly, “What’s your intention in following us all morning?”
Getting out from the car, Song Ling extended his hand, “Mr. Chen, good to meet you. I’m Song Ling, President of the Song Corporation from the Capital.”
Chen Bin shook his hand, familiar with Song Ling’s reputation, but remained guarded.
Song Ling shared, “President Chen, I’ve heard about your recent project and was intrigued. I wanted to discuss a potential collaboration, which is why I followed you.”
Chen Bin nodded, understanding, then replied, “You’re too late. I’ve already signed a contract with Gu Group..”
