Ever since he first met Song Qiao back in college, he already felt the need to look into Song Qiao’s identity, not out of suspicion, but because he wanted to understand the person he liked.
After that, he always wanted Song Qiao to open up to him, but perhaps due to seating arrangements or something else, every time they met, Song Qiao seemed very happy or at the very least in a good mood—they had never seen Song Qiao unhappy.
Even though they knew that sometimes the young woman was forcing a smile and didn’t want to worry them, after all, Song Qiao said they were all friends.
When it came time for Song Qiao to do an internship, he proposed that Song Qiao join his company.
The first reason was naturally because he liked Song Qiao; selfishly speaking, he wanted to be closer to Song Qiao.
The second reason was entirely due to when he saw her stubborn, relentless spirit in their university student council. It seemed no matter what, she would keep trying until she succeeded.
This reminded him of himself when he first started his business, and if he properly cultivated Song Qiao, she would certainly become a very successful agent, with only profits and no losses. That was also why he invited Song Qiao. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel⸺fire.net
When he mentioned her joining his company, Song Qiao hesitated at first, then refused, and when he asked her why,
This young woman directly revealed to them that she was the daughter of the Song Family, and an unfavored one at that.
He had once checked with Lin Musen about Song Qiao’s background, which was indeed somewhat awkward but it didn’t really matter.
The person who had initially smeared Song Qiao finally, under an unspoken pressure, saw her face turning pale. After Shen Yi finished speaking, she stood up and sincerely said, "I’m sorry, Song Qiao, I misunderstood you!"
Song Qiao looked up at that person, her face still sporting that polite smile, very subdued, and she lightly said, "It’s okay!"
After this incident, the people around Li Xin became fewer, and from that day on, many people in the department started talking to Song Qiao, asking her out for meals, and to all such requests, Song Qiao did not refuse, after all, they were colleagues.
Lu An’an could not help but sigh that day, saying Song Qiao must really have the favour of the goddess of luck, even big boss Shen Yi helped Song Qiao, whereas Li Xin seemed to be cursed. People in the department had begun to isolate her, but she, with thick skin, continued to work just as before despite the isolation.
Her grandfather’s surgery date was getting closer, but Song Qiao herself had not even raised half of 500,000 yet.
Her mind was in turmoil, and just when it was finally time to get off work, she was thinking of visiting a famous entertainment venue in An City, but as soon as she stepped out of the company, she saw a very familiar sports car parked there.
"Song Qiao!" Gu Linyuan got out of the car and stood in front of Song Qiao, his eyes stubborn as he straightforwardly said, "I heard your grandpa needs 500,000 for surgery. I’ll give you 500,000, but leave that man!"
