C7 A Different President

"Mr. Gu." Jane took two steps back and cleared her throat in embarrassment. "I know you don't lack this money, but it seems to me it's a lifesaver, and I'll keep it in mind. As for the orders, I was prepared when I came."

These words caused Gu Chen to be stunned for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know if I've misunderstood you …"

She was actually very ashamed. At this moment, she could not help but beat her retreat, "Mr. Gu, you should continue working. I … I will leave first."

"Halt." Gu Chen was clearly unhappy. He understood that Jane had come to him with thoughts of sacrifice. Was she looking at him as a mere target for carnal desires and exchanges of benefits? This knowledge made him unable to maintain his poise and continue teasing her. He returned to his seat and said, "Sit there and wait for me to get off work."

Jane pursed her lips and obediently sat back on the sofa, holding the glass of milk and quietly drinking it.

Jane didn't dare to run out the door, but she couldn't sit still.

She sat on the other side of the sofa, and the man's exquisite face was right in front of her, seriously tapping the keyboard. His brows were furrowed very nicely, but his aura was really strong, making it impossible for her to look at him directly, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if she could see his movements no matter how she looked at him.

Calming himself down, Jane gathered her courage and took a few steps forward, "Mr. Gu, my mother's clothes must be taken from home. I …"

She wanted to say that she wouldn't run away, but Gu Chen already said, "I'll call you at five, don't make sure I can't find you."

It was only then that Jane remembered that her phone had been given to her by Gu Chen. He must have saved her phone number, so she nodded her head vigorously. After giving it some thought, she bent down to say goodbye and left.

Whatever he asked of her, his willingness to help was worth her gratitude.

There were a few women gathered in the tea room when they saw that she didn't seem to care and sized her up. Then, they lowered their heads and whispered, "Look at her, it can't be the CEO's girlfriend, right?"

"Impossible, just who does the CEO like."

"Hey, Little Peach, come over here and tell us how was it going when you went in?"

The little girl, Xiaotao, smiled shyly before raising her head to look at the pretty girl who was about to enter the elevator. "I think maybe the CEO is chasing her. She's pretty and gentle. If only I had her for so long …"

The beautiful female lead, who was being envied and criticized by others, was currently rushing back to the rented apartment in a tired state. She packed her stuff and was just about to leave when the landlady stopped her at the door with a sneer.

"Where have you been these past few days?" The landlord had just burned his curly red hair, his eyebrows were raised and his eyes were closed. His loud voice made Jane flinch.

"Auntie Fang, I …"

"Alright, I don't want to hear your explanation. In the next few days, I'm going to increase the rent and everything else, so I want you to pay me a mortgage of three months!" The landlord really didn't like this little girl, because every time her husband came here to collect rent, he would smile at her like a flower to curry favor with her, causing her to feel disgusted.

Jane opened her mouth, her throat was a little tight. She finally squeezed out a few words out of embarrassment, "Auntie Fang, I'm a little tight right now. Can you spare me a few more days?"

"I don't want to make things difficult for a little girl like you, but don't even think about bullying me. Today, I'll make an exception to everyone's rules. I said that if I wanted to give it to you, I'd have to give it to you today."

"But I …"

"What 'but'? Don't count on someone helping you. I've been in this area for a long time, how can I have someone like you who gives me a thousand yuan or so? Let's go find the police."

"I …"

"Nonsense, hurry up and give me the money, don't make me …" The landlord impatiently pushed her around for a while, but Jane was carefully supported by his shoulder. When she turned around, she saw Gu Chen, his face full of anger and a cold aura of displeasure spreading around him. It even caused Auntie Dongfang to roll her eyes, speechless.

Secretary Li, who was standing beside him, gave Jane a polite smile.

The landlord impatiently shouted, "Who are you? Just tell the man she's hooked up with that he doesn't look like any good stuff at all. If you're her lover, then pay her!"

Secretary Li's expression did not change. He looked at the landlord and took out a handful of money, "Auntie, we have already contacted our customers to buy the property. I think you can go back and ask your husband."

"Ah, ah. "I …" Auntie Fang stammered for a moment with her mouth wide open in disbelief. However, she had no choice but to believe it. She held her cellphone and glared at Jane as she walked to the corner to make a phone call.

"Let's go." Gu Chen put his arm around her shoulders and walked out. He was used to being aloof and aloof, so even if he was angry, he did not want to say anything useless to this kind of person. Jane could not help but turn her head to look at Auntie Fang.

"Miss Jane, after you."

Secretary Li had long since opened the back door, and Gu Chen sat beside her. He seemed to be in a better mood, his originally indifferent face suddenly filled with an evil spirit. He was proud and handsome.

Jane was initially addicted to beauty, but when Rolls-Royce started up, she realized, "Mr. Gu, where are we going?"

Gu Chen shot a glance at her, the corners of his mouth curving into a faint smile as he coldly said, "Eat." Seeing that Jane was relieved, he added expressionlessly, "Maybe you want to do something else."

This sentence was so successful that it caused Jane to be worried again. Although Secretary Li, who was driving, maintained the stability of the car, but the accelerator felt like it was like floating clouds. For the sake of Miss Jane, not only was the CEO fast enough to buy this old building, but he was even going to joke about it.

To Jane's relief, the car finally stopped at a western restaurant. Gu Chen's tastes and requirements were naturally not ordinary hotels. He had only been to this restaurant twice before, even when Jane was living a life free of food and clothing.
