"That's right. You're hated by many. When your sister and Feng Jia were rumored to be having an affair, so many people laughed at you. If you were really dumped, everyone would say that your status in the Gu family is inferior to your sister's. Your parents don't care about you at all. You've already become the abandoned child of the Gu family! Moreover, no matter who marries you in the future, everyone will say that they picked up Feng Jia's secondhand. How embarrassing would that be for you!"
Gu Chu: "..."
She was right.
"I know that your parents have eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. They must also understand this principle. In the past, they pampered you so much, but now they are abusing you like this. This proves that Gu Wan is too scary. She has already bewitched your parents!"
Gu Chu pinched the space between her brows. "You can't say that. Although my mother has the intention, she hasn't really changed the engagement until now. Maybe she was angry that day."
"Not necessarily. I think that no matter how much your parents change, they won't change so quickly. They doted on you so much before. So, let's observe the situation first," Lin Yin sighed, "By the way, how is Gu Wan?"
Although Gu Chu hadn't been in Haicheng for the past two days, it didn't mean that she knew nothing about the company.
On the second day of her business trip, her father arranged for Gu Wan to work in the company as the Vice Director of the Department of Operations.
She didn't feel anything when she found out about it, but when she told Lin Yin about it, Lin Yin was on guard. "Your father raised you as his future successor. When you first joined the company, you were only a Vice Director. She just came back, and he gave her such a high position. Does she know business?"
"She graduated from Haicheng University of Finance and Economics. She really did learn this as an undergraduate." Gu Chu pinched the space between her eyebrows again.
Lin Yin squeezed some lotion and began to rub it on her legs. She said thoughtfully, "Is she that good? It seems that her adoptive parents treat her well. By the way, have you met her adoptive parents?"
"My parents may have met them." In fact, she did not know about Gu Wan's past life, and her parents had never told her about it.
Lin Yin suddenly said, "You must hold on to Feng Jia, because I can smell that you're about to fall out of favor!"
Gu Chu pursed her lips and hung up.
How could she fall out of favor?
Everyone in Haicheng City knew that her parents doted on her. The Gu family would always be her safety net.
Gu Wan had been missing for more than twenty years before she was found. Her parents would definitely dote on her more for the time being. After some time, they would get used to it and treat the two of them equally.
At this moment, Lin Yin called again.
She picked up.
"I've thought about it. If you can't marry Feng Jia in the end, then marry my brother. Look how much my family likes you. In the future, there won't be any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there won't be any conflicts between sisters-in-law. How good would that be?"
Gu Chu: "..."
She hung up the phone again.
After hanging up, she sent a message to Lin Yu. "Your sister wants me to marry you."
Ten minutes later, Lin Yu replied, "I've already told her off."
The airport was quite far from the Feng family's old mansion and Feng Jia had just arrived.
Feng Jia walked along the cobblestone path into the main house. When Old Master Feng saw him, he immediately said, "Feng Jia is back."
At the same time, another woman sitting on the sofa stood up. She said with a gentle expression, "Hello, Mr. Feng."
The next day, Gu Chu went to the company.
As soon as she entered the office, the secretary walked over with tears in her eyes. "Director Gu..."
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Gu Chu asked.
"We didn't get the project. What should we do? Will we be punished by the chairman?" The secretary said with a bitter face.
Gu Chu said unhappily, "If someone were to be punished, it would be me. What are you afraid of?"
The secretary pouted. "I feel sorry for you. By the way, isn't CEO Feng your fiancé? Can you use the back door?"
Feng Jia had won the project. With their relationship, working with the Feng Corporation was easier than working with the Wang Tai Corporation, right?
"What are you daydreaming about?" Gu Chu sneered. "CEO Feng is so cold and professional."
The man was always very rational other than when he was in bed. Don't expect him to help you through the back door.
Gu Chu picked up the thermos cup and went to get water from the pantry.
Unfortunately, she met Gu Wan.
Gu Wan was standing at the door of the pantry, unwilling to go in.
What happened? Gu Chu walked over and looked inside as well.
Oh, so it was two colleagues gossiping in secret.
It was said that the pantry was the best place for gossip besides the bathroom, and it was true.
"Hey, have you heard? The new Vice Director is also the daughter of the chairman."
"But isn't the director an only child? Why is there another daughter?"
"I'm not sure. She looks a few years older than Director Gu. Do you think she's an adopted daughter or an illegitimate daughter?"
Gu Chu glanced at Gu Wan. Seeing her dazed expression, she stood at the door, somewhat at a loss.
"It can't be an adopted daughter, right? She was the Vice Director the moment she came in. Her status is almost on par with Director Gu. She should be an illegitimate daughter, right?"
"Yes, yes, she should be an illegitimate daughter!"
Gu Chu chuckled and walked in. "Gu Wan is my biological sister."
The two female colleagues were startled. When they turned around, they saw the person they were discussing just now, and they were both shocked.
Gu Chu nonchalantly took the water and said, "We lost her when we were young, and we only found her recently. Do you guys have so much free time? Why analyze these things that have nothing to do with your job?"
"No, no." The two of them immediately shook their heads and walked out of the pantry.
When Gu Chu walked out, he glanced at Gu Wan. "The next time you hear these words, you can explain yourself. It's not true. Do you have to stand outside and suffer?"
Gu Wan pursed her lips. "Thank you, Chuchu."
"I'm not helping you. I just don't want to see them make up a story about mom and dad."
"Yeah, I know. You're the kind of person who talks tough but has a soft heart. We're biological sisters." Then, she added, "Chuchu, don't be sad that you didn't get the project. Dad won't be angry with you. Besides, I'll protect you."
Gu Chu felt a bit bitter when she heard this. She really didn't want her protection.
She was too lazy to say anything else and walked out.
Just as she returned to her office, the secretary looked at her sympathetically. "The chairman is looking for you."
Is that necessary?
Mr. Gu was the chairman of the Gu Corporation. His office was on the top floor of the building.
Gu Chu knocked on the door and entered. "Dad."
Mr. Gu looked up at her. It wasn't a dark expression, but a smile.
"Chuchu, I've seen the document you sent me this morning. I've thought about the Sky Garden project before, but the Lin Corporation wants 70%. I didn't think it was worth it so I didn't cooperate. I didn't expect you to be able to convince them to do 40-60% ."
The project that Lin Yu gave her yesterday was the Sky Garden project.
Gu Chu smiled. "I'm making up for failing to take down Yangchang project. Are you not punishing me?"
"I won't punish you. Besides, this project has been returned to our hands," Mr. Gu said with a smile.
"Ah?" Gu Chu was shocked.
At this moment, Mr Gu's secretary called from the inner line. "Chairman, CEO Feng is here."
Gu Chu frowned. What was Feng Jia doing here?
Mr. Gu looked very happy. He patted her shoulder and said, "Come, let's go to the meeting room. I asked him to come."
Gu Chu followed him to the meeting room, not knowing what was going on. Sure enough, she saw Feng Jia sitting on the chair. Mr. Gu called out, "Feng Jia."
Feng Jia stood up and called out politely, "Uncle Gu."
Father Gu patted his shoulder and said, "I wanted to send someone to your place to sign the contract, but the more I thought about it, the happier I became. So, I called you over to have a meal. I'm not disturbing you, right?"
"Not at all, but it should be my treat instead," Feng Jia said with a smile.
Mr. Gu's eyes were full of admiration. "Our two families are in-laws, so we have to work together more in the future. You're handling things more and more steadily now. It's good that you invested in Wang Tai Group and protect the rights of the three families."
Gu Chu didn't quite understand what they meant. What did they mean by protecting the three families? She couldn't help but interject, "Invest in the Wang Tai Group?"
Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Chuchu doesn't know yet, right? The Feng family invested in the Wang Tai Group, and now it's the majority shareholder of the. Feng Jia is in charge, so he wants us to join the Yangchang project as well."
Gu Chu had just sorted it out when another person walked into the office. It was Gu Wan. She held a document in her hand and said, "Dad, CEO Feng, the contract has been drafted. Take a look."
Gu Chu took the contract first. After skimming through the terms and conditions, she finally saw the signature at the bottom. She looked up and asked, "This project was negotiated by Gu Wan?"
Gu Wan nodded. "Yes, last night."
Didn't Feng Jia have dinner at the Feng family's old mansion last night? Why did he see Gu Wan? Gu Chu glanced at Feng Jia and put down the contract expressionlessly.
Feng Jia had already seen the electronic version of the contract, so he signed it directly.
Mr. Gu said with great satisfaction, "Together with the Sky Garden Project, today is a double celebration. Let's have lunch together as a family to celebrate."
