Chapter 20: Yangyang and President Gu… A Deep Relationship
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All at once, every gaze fell on Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know what Gong Xue’er’s purpose was, but she knew for sure that Gong Xue’er was up to no good.
Before Xia Yangyang could speak, Gong Xue’er added, “Yangyang and President Gu… have a not so simple relationship.”
Gong Xue’er deliberately made it sound ambiguous, causing the crowd to look at Xia Yangyang with a hint of strangeness.
Xu Li asked, “Yangyang, do you know Gu Qichen?”
Everyone knew about Xia Yangyang’s family background, her father was a media mogul.
Considering her family background, it was not impossible for Xia Yangyang to be acquainted with a big shot like Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang glanced at Gong Xue’er and said, “I did an internship at Shengyuan Group during winter break, so yes, I do know him. But considering Gu Qichen’s busy schedule, I don’t think he would accept our interview.”
Everyone had the same thought as Xia Yangyang, only Gong Xue’er insisted.
Gong Xue’er said, “How can we know the result if we don’t give it a try? And since we have an inside access, why not give it our best shot. I am applying for the first person-to-person interview, and with Yangyang’s help, I believe it can be a success.”
Xu Li thought for a moment and said, “Okay, the first interview will be given to you two. Do your best. I am about to graduate, and if you can really land an exclusive interview with Gu Qichen, the president’s position will definitely be yours.”
After the meeting ended, Xia Yangyang walked out of the lecture hall, but Gong Xue’er followed her.
“Yangyang, wait for me.”
Xia Yangyang stopped, turned around, and asked coldly, “What is it?”
Gong Xue’er completely changed her attitude and said pitifully, “Yangyang, I apologize for what happened with Haotian. I don’t want to lose you as a good friend. Can you forgive me once, just once? Can’t we go back to how things were?”
While speaking, she even grabbed Xia Yangyang’s arm, shaking it with a coquettish smile.
Xia Yangyang felt really foolish. In the past, she was always blinded by Gong Xue’er’s innocent act, always doing her best to fulfill her requests.
Just like when they both ran for the deputy club president, Gong Xue’er begged her to give up the position for her.
But this matter was different.
Xia Yangyang took a step back, brushed off Gong Xue’er’s hand, and said, “If you want me to forgive you, it’s possible. Terminate your pregnancy with Lu Haotian’s child and then break up with Lu Haotian. Then we would be the same as before, exactly the same. How does that sound?”
Gong Xue’er had never expected the usually obedient and fool-headed Xia Yangyang to utter such words.
Gong Xue’er immediately changed her face, “Xia Yangyang, how can you be so cruel? You actually want to kill me and Haotian’s child!”
Xia Yangyang responded, “Since you can’t do it, don’t bring up the past to me. Gong Xue’er, let’s pretend we never knew each other. I just want to ask one question now, why must you interview Gu Qichen? What’s your real motive?”
Gong Xue’er’s facial expression changed, her face showing a hint of mockery. “I’m thinking for the club’s sake. Besides, isn’t Gu Qichen your boyfriend? He should have no reason to reject this little favor!”
Xia Yangyang calmly looked at Gong Xue’er.
Gong Xue’er laughed, “Or, is he not your boyfriend? Was the drama in the meeting room last time just a show staged by you two?”
Gong Xue’er had suspected this for quite some time.
It was too coincidental the last time, and she had noticed that Xia Yangyang’s reaction was clearly unnatural at the time, perhaps it was just a hero-saving-the-damsel drama initiated by President Gu on a whim.
More importantly, she subtly inquired from Lin Yuanyuan, who interned with her in Shengyuan’s secretariat.
Lin Yuanyuan said that among the interns, Xia Yangyang was the least favored by the president and had suffered a lot during her internship at Shengyuan.
If Gu Qichen was really Xia Yangyang’s boyfriend, there would have been some rumors.
So Gong Xue’er was convinced that Gu Qichen’s appearance at the meeting room last time was purely accidental!
