Meisi Group was in love with the boss spread like a flame in some work groups that evening.

Later, Meisi Group employees quickly created a small group without the parties involved and kept asking questions in the group.

[Mr. Cheng and Miss Xu are in love? It doesn’t seem like it!]

[Don’t you have eyes? Every time Mr. Cheng looks at Miss Xu, his eyes are so sweet.]

[Last time Miss Xu went on a business trip, she asked Mr. Cheng to help take care of two kittens, and he even went to the river to catch fish for the cats.]

[Now that you put it like that, I really feel it. Oh my, what kind of mythical love is this? I love it.]

[If the two of them can really make a couple, Meisi Group’s performance will definitely reach new heights. Mr. Cheng can rest assured in his grave.]

...

Xinlan Group, the gossip about their love affair was also discussed. Their focus was on whether Xu Yan had been dating Cheng Ji before coming to Meisi Group, or whether she only fell in love with Cheng Ji after coming.

Considering Xu Yan’s position in Meisi Group, it is very likely that the deal had already been discussed before she arrived at Meisi Group.

When Qian Kun got the news, he immediately called Jiang Han to confirm, “Mr. Jiang, is Cheng Ji really in love with Xu Yan?”

After the social gathering, Jiang Han took Sima Ye to the bar to drink. Sima Ye was reluctant at first, but he dragged her along.

After listening to Qian Kun’s words, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the watch on his wrist, “Old Qian, staying up late is not good, and staying up late to gossip about young people is even worse.”

Qian Kun laughed, “Gossiping occasionally is good for your health. Is that true?”

“Whether it’s true or not, you should ask Cheng Ji.” Jiang Han took a sip of wine, and the sound sounded like scraping off a piece of metal, which was creepy.

“How can I ask him about this? I saw rumors flying around in the peer group, saying that Xu Yan came to work at Meisi Group because he was in a relationship with Cheng Ji.”

“Old Qian, you should go to bed.” Jiang Han said this almost with his back teeth clenched, and without waiting for Qian Kun to respond, he immediately hung up the phone.

I was already in a bad mood, and after this phone call, I felt even worse.

He drank a large can of beer in one gulp and crushed the can.

“Why are you so angry?” Sima Ye came up and asked.

Jiang Han glanced at him, the tip of his tongue against his back teeth, and asked stiffly, “Is there?”

Sima Ye nodded, “Yes. Your eyes can kill a cow.”

He made an excuse, “My foot was almost broken tonight.”

“Hahaha!” Sima Ye laughed. “That Xu Yan, she looks like a lady from a noble family, but she can’t dance. Oh my God! I dare say that her dancing is the most clumsy in the whole audience! How can she not dance?”

“Is it funny that you can’t dance?” Jiang Han stared at him.

Sima Ye shuddered with fear and stammered, “No…yes.”

Jiang Han received a message from Qian Kun on WeChat, [I feel like you are not very happy, is it because you still have feelings for Xu Yan?]

“Bullshit!” He cursed in a low voice, did not reply to the message, turned the phone screen upside down, and opened another can of wine.

Sima Ye comforted him, “I heard that the Gu family is interested in marrying your family? Gu Shiyi is pretty good, my mother has praised him. If your two families marry, you will be the eldest brother of Canghai City in the future.”

Jiang Han poured the newly opened wine into his mouth, “Talking too much makes you thirsty.”

...

On Monday, Xu Yan went to work and saw her colleagues looking at her with loving eyes, which puzzled her. “Why do they all look so happy? What’s going on?”

Someone winked at her, “It must be good news for Sister Yan.”

Xu Yan glanced at himself, “What good news is there? How come I don’t know it?”

They covered their mouths and laughed, “Sister Yan is so cute.”

“Cute?” Xu Yan questioned their choice of words, “I’m already 28 years old, and you still call me cute?”

“You are always the cutest in someone’s eyes.”

Xu Yan wanted to continue speaking when someone shouted, “Mr. Cheng is here.”

She turned around to greet Cheng Ji, and the person next to her covered her mouth and said “Oh oh”.

Cheng Ji also cast a curious look, “Why do you look like you have bad intentions?”

Everyone dispersed.

“What’s wrong with these people?” he asked Xu Yan.

Xu Yan curled his lips, “I want to know too! But you won’t tell me even after I asked.”

The two of them went back to their respective offices. Cheng Xu heard the noise outside die down, so he opened the door and went to look for Cheng Ji.

“Something?” Cheng Ji hadn’t sat down on the chair yet.

“Brother, are you serious?” Cheng Xu asked anxiously.

He frowned and said, “Vice President Cheng, it’s working hours now, please be careful with your address.”

Cheng Xu smiled awkwardly, but did not take his reprimand to heart. He received the news yesterday morning, and although it was within his expectations, it came too suddenly and he was not ready to accept it.

If the two of them were really dating, his position in the Meisi Group would be in jeopardy.

He probed, “There are rumors that you are dating Miss Xu.”

Cheng Ji raised his eyebrows, “Who is spreading it?”

“Oh, it doesn’t matter who spread it. I just want to know if it’s true?” he said anxiously.

Cheng Ji sat down on the chair and asked with interest, “So what if it’s true?”

Cheng Xu swung his hands excitedly, “It’s not good for the company if the boss is in love with his subordinate. Besides, I heard some news about Xu Yan. Her family conditions are quite poor.”

“What did you find out?” Cheng Ji asked seriously.

“Her father used to run a food factory, but it went bankrupt. I heard he was in debt.” At this point, he pursed his lips and whispered, “I heard he sold his daughter to pay off his debts.”

“That’s all you heard?”

“Isn’t this important?” Cheng Xu almost jumped up, “Don’t be confused. Although our Cheng family is not well-known in Canghai City, not just anyone can be ours. Don’t be impulsive.”

Cheng Ji chuckled, “I know all the information you have found out. I know what should and should not be done. Go back to work, and don’t come to my office to discuss personal matters during working hours.”

“I’m doing this for your own good! She’s not qualified to marry into our Cheng family.” Cheng Xu said gritting his teeth.

Cheng Ji sat up straight and said to him seriously, “Brother, you are the vice president of Meisi Group, don’t say such cheap words, and don’t gossip with employees.”

“But...” Cheng Xu was about to say something, but his secretary called Cheng Ji and reported, “Mr. Cheng, there’s a Ms. Gu from an investment bank at the front desk who wants to meet you. Do you want to meet her?”

“Investment bank?” He immediately thought of Gu Shiyi and said, “Let her come up.”

Seeing his cousin was about to receive guests, Cheng Xu felt uncomfortable staying in the office any longer and said angrily, “I hope Mr. Cheng will put the overall situation first.”

Cheng Ji ignored him and told his secretary to bring in some coffee.

Gu Shiyi stood in the lobby on the first floor, looking around. The office building of Meisi Group had not been renovated for several years, and it had an old-fashioned feel that could not be compared with the exquisite style of Xinlan Group.

I visited you today with some very selfish thoughts because I heard about the scandal between Cheng Ji and Xu Yan.

She hoped this was true.

The receptionist said to her, “Ms. Gu, Mr. Cheng, please go up.”

Gu Shiyi thanked her and walked towards the elevator.

Cheng Ji saw her and greeted her warmly, “You are finally here.”

“I’m sorry to bother you so much, Mr. Cheng.” Gu Shiyi said humbly.

“How could that be?” Cheng Ji said self-deprecatingly, “It ‘s been a long time since we had investment bankers come to Meisi Group. I’m honored that you don’t mind. I remember your family is also a business in Canghai City, right?”

Gu Shiyi nodded, “Yes, my family also runs a small business.”

“A small business? If I wasn’t a little familiar with Canghai City, I would have almost believed it. Your Gu family is on an equal footing with the Jiang family.”

Gu Shiyi didn’t want to talk about this topic with him, so he drank a cup of coffee and asked, “Mr. Cheng, Meisi Group’s performance has improved. Have you considered going public?”

Cheng Ji asked, “Does going public bring more benefits than disadvantages to the company, or more disadvantages than benefits?”

“The listing financing can solve the problem of the lack of funds for Meisi Group to expand its business scope in the future, enhance the company’s brand, reduce dependence on bank loans, and has low risks,” said Gu Shiyi .

Cheng Ji smiled and said, “I haven’t thought about this question yet. You are close to Jiang Han. Does Xinlan Group have any plans to go public?”

Gu Shiyi shook his head, “I haven’t discussed it with him.”

“This is a big deal. I will hold a meeting with other shareholders to discuss it. If there is indeed a plan for listing, I will inform you as soon as possible.” Cheng Ji said politely.

Gu Shiyi took two more sips of coffee and said with a smile in his eyes, “If we want to go public, Mr. Cheng’s married status will make it easier to win the trust of shareholders.”

“I think your visit today is fake, but you are really here to get some gossip, right?” Cheng Ji said half-jokingly.

“That’s not the case. Finding potential clients is my job, and considering clients carefully is the professional ethics of an investment banker.” Gu Shiyi replied with a smile.

Cheng Ji stared at her and smiled, which made her feel a little guilty, so she asked, “Want to go to other places in the company?”

“I’m not interested in your office. I want to talk to Miss Xu,” she replied.

“I’ll ask him if he’s busy. If he’s not, you can go over.” Cheng Ji said as he picked up the phone.

After receiving Xu Yan’s affirmative reply, he said to Gu Shiyi , “Go find her. Her office is at the other end of the hall.”

Gu Shiyi stood up, said goodbye to him, and went to Xu Yan’s office.

Hearing that Gu Shiyi was coming, Xu Yan’s temples began to throb. Her intuition told her that Gu Shiyi’s coming was not a good thing.

After she entered the office, she refused the offer of coffee. After the two of them had finished praising each other, Xu Yan smiled at her, “Miss Gu, you are not here to praise me, are you? If you have anything else to say, just say it.”

“I know that you were the one who posted the video of Jiang Han online.” Gu Shiyi is a straightforward person.

“So? You’re here to seek justice for Jiang Han?” Xu Yan said with a smile.

“Not really.”

“Then why bring it up?”

“You don’t really think Jiang Han has no ability to fight back?” Gu Shiyi took a step forward, trying to put pressure on Xu Yan.

“Since he has the ability, why doesn’t he fight back?” Xu Yan still had the same expression as before.

“Maybe it’s because of our old relationship.” Gu Shiyi said reluctantly.

“So Miss Gu is here today to talk about my old relationship with Jiang Han? If you really want to know, I don’t mind calling Jiang Han over to talk together.” Xu Yan said coldly.

Gu Shiyi waved her hands, “No, no, we can’t call him over. He’ll hate me if he knows.”

She looked so capable, but she was so cautious and humble when talking about Jiang Han. Xu Yan thought of her past self.

It is often the one who is in love who invests the most and is also the most vulnerable.

She reminded Gu Shiyi , “Ms. Gu, I think you need to distinguish between work and emotions. Don’t let emotions affect your work. You are an elite in investment banking, and you should be able to figure out the pros and cons.”

“There’s a rumor out there that you and Cheng Ji are dating. I called him but he didn’t answer. I guess he still has you in his heart.” Gu Shiyi said somewhat disappointedly.

“Is that what’s being said outside?” Xu Yan was surprised. No wonder her colleagues looked at her with strange expressions today. So that’s how it is.

Gu Shiyi bit her lip and said, “I really hope that you and Cheng Ji get along well and that he stops thinking about you.”

Xu Yan laughed, “ Are there no men in Canghai City? Do you have to hang yourself on a tree? Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Miss Gu, don’t let me look down on you.”
