Back Then, I Adored You

It seemed that Xiaowang had been choked by something and was unable to speak. After a while, he said, “Master Gu, are you serious about that?”

Gu Yusheng replied to him with a cold “Yes.”

Xiaowang could see that Gu Yusheng was very serious this time, so he didn’t say anything else.

The atmosphere in the car became quiet.

As they approached the airport, Xiaowang gained the courage to ask, “Master Gu, why did you suddenly decide that you want to purchase that company?”

“Because…” Gu Yusheng wanted to say, ‘Because I want to find a Mrs. Gu,’ but he swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue.

What if that girl student wasn’t little troublemaker?

Nothing had been clear yet.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yusheng directly ignored Xiaowang’s question. “I’ll give you three days to settle this matter, and you must finish the deal before next Monday.”

The girl student planned to apply for the job next Wednesday. He had to finalize everything before she went to the company so that he could ensure that she gets the job.

…

It would have been impossible to work for Gu Yusheng for so many years without obtaining some skills.

Gu Yusheng had given Xiaowang three days, but it only took him a day and a half to finalize the deal.

The contract was scheduled to be signed next Friday. After receiving Xiaowang’s phone call, Gu Yusheng straightforwardly said, “Book me a ticket for next Tuesday. I’m flying back to Beijing, and I want to sign the contract on Wednesday morning.”

Why was Master Gu in such a hurry to sign the contract? Xiaowang followed his order although he was muttering silently.

Gu Yusheng flew back to Beijing from Shanghai at 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening.

At 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Gu Yusheng arrived at Hui Shi Game Company on time.

By 10:30 a.m., Gu Yusheng had signed the purchase contract, which then officially came into full effect.

Except for the change of the chief executive chairman, there had been no other change within the company.

Gu Yusheng had other things to deal with that afternoon, so he had to leave. Before leaving, he told Xiaowang, “You will stay at Hui Shi Game Company this afternoon, collect a list of all the interns who applied for jobs today, and bring it to me in the hotel this evening.”

Why was this happening? Master Gu had never even paid attention to the recruiting of new staff in his own company, why should he pay attention to recruitment in this small company we just purchased?

Xiaowang felt increasingly confused about Gu Yusheng’s thoughts.

…

After the company party had ended, Gu Yusheng returned to the hotel. By then, it was already later than 10 p.m.

Before entering the hotel lobby, Gu Yusheng saw Xiaowang sitting in the waiting room through the window.

As Gu Yusheng walked through the revolving door, he gave Xiaowang a call. When Xiaowang answered, he said, “Elevator,” and quickly hung up.

Xiaowang understood, so he immediately got up, and rushed to the elevator.

After taking the elevator to the top floor, Gu Yusheng opened the door with his room card. Before entering the room, Gu Yusheng asked, “What about the files I requested?”

Xiaowang hurriedly handed them over.

Gu Yusheng took over the files, pulled off his tie with one hand and threw it on the bed casually, then unfastened two buttons of his shirt. Without even sitting down, he looked through the information Xiaowang had given him.

He quickly scanned through the files and stopped once he saw the name “Qin Zhi’ai.” Then he took out her file and read it carefully.

Name: Qin Zhi’ai

Gender: Female.

Age: 26 years old.

Gu Yusheng suddenly frowned. A 26-year-old graduate student? There seems to be something wrong with her age. Did she go to school late or did she take an extra year of classes?
