Chapter 30 She in Ashes

  Why did he have to follow Lu Qinghuan to this point today? How could he watch the woman he loved, yet only be able to watch.

  He loves but cannot have her, so Gu Yu, who facilitated this marriage, will also not have a good life!

  Gu Yu did not come the next day either.

  All the way until night, people kept coming to the ward, from the director of this department to the head of that bureau. Originally, he was supposed to rest, but as soon as he heard the name, Xiao Qian felt that he should meet with them, and it went on like this all the way until night, almost without a break.

  Everyone else had left, Xiao Qian was leaning alone there, turning over and over again.

  There was no news of Gu Yan for a whole day.

  He picked up his phone and flipped through her name, suddenly feeling awkward again. Why should he take the initiative to call her?

  He gritted his teeth and directly dialed her secretary Yuan Chun's phone number.

  "Director Xiao?"

  "Where is Gu Yan?"

  "Director Gu... seems to have a dinner engagement tonight. Lately, Director Gu has been busy with internet investment matters and has many engagements. Sometimes he can't inform me in time."

  "Don't know?" Gu Ye went out by himself and now he actually got an answer that was "don't know".

  Xiao Qian clenched his phone tightly and shouted into the receiver, "How do you work?! If you want a job that allows you to go home after work, I can transfer you to the library. Otherwise, at Xiao Corporation, there is no secretary who has nothing to do after work hours. You're the deputy general secretary, yet you don't even know where she is..."

  "Director Xiao... I'm sorry, I'll go check right away. These past few days, Director Gu has been busy with internet investment matters and seems to be trying to persuade investors to invest, so his schedule is a bit chaotic..."

  Xiao Qian said in a harsh tone, "You handle it yourself. Within half an hour, if I don't get the exact location of Gu Yu, you can directly report to the borrowing room tomorrow." Xiao Qian hung up the phone and threw it aside, feeling his chest ache from anger.

  Lately, Gu Yu has been acting strangely.

  Although they had been quarreling all the time, it was estimated that only when they were truly affectionate would people be shocked. However, recently, her behavior has not been right, seemingly intentionally going against him, and for no reason, she would come to test his bottom line, which made him feel really bad.

  He hated the feeling of being easily irritated and out of control by her, but she happened to have a unique talent in this aspect.

  Golden Bright Nightclub

  Gu Yu sat on the outside, while the man inside, although he couldn't be described as refined or elegant, still had a unique air about him.

  "Director Jiang, I suppose you've reviewed the materials for this internet investment? I heard that you're very interested in investing in the internet sector and have been observing related projects. This case is probably one of the most impressive ones recently. Director Jiang has also collaborated with Xiaoshou Venture Capital for several years, so you should be familiar with our capabilities. This project combining tourism and the internet will surely produce astonishing results in the future. What do you think..."

  Jiang Xiaoxun, 33 years old, is a big tycoon in City B, with plenty of money to spare, and loves to invest in one or two projects just for fun.

  He raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Yu, who didn't know in B City that she was Xiao's daughter-in-law, a married woman. Jiang Xiaoxun shook his head, but it was a pity that she had been married off too early, despite being beautiful and elegant.

  In B City, the Xiao family is absolutely a household name, with a strong foundation that has stood for many years. They have a wide reach across politics and business, with no place they can't get to. Even in the B City district, where officials are as common as sesame seeds and green beans, the Xiao family is still a force to be reckoned with. Gu Yai may have gotten some benefits from them wherever she went, but she never failed to take advantage of the Xiao family's influence.

  However, in the business world, it's not possible to be worry-free just because you have a good foundation. After all, no one can sit back and reap benefits without doing anything, so Jiang Xiaoxuan and Gu Yu are still trying to curry favor.
