BXBX NOVEL Chapter 225: 225 Confront Him_1
They were both from impoverished families and had very poor living conditions; the notes on them stated that they were excellent in their studies but very poor.
I was very conflicted at that time, not knowing who to choose!
Because giving an opportunity to one meant depriving the other of one.
I hesitated at the time, so I gave the decision-making power to Gu Yuanzhou who was with me.
Gu Yuanzhou took a glance and pointed to Ye Mengyan, I still remember what he said then.
“This girl, she looks skinny and small, very pitiful!”
Indeed, Ye Mengyan at the time looked very pitiful in her photo.
Or perhaps, it was this pitiful appearance that provoked Gu Yuanzhou’s protective instincts.
I didn’t feel anything unusual at the time, only now when I think back, possibly Gu Yuanzhou had taken a fancy to Ye Mengyan back then, and I just didn’t know.
I silently laughed at myself for being such an idiot!
At this time, Jia Yuyan still didn’t understand what I was saying,
“Miss Song, what do you mean by you made the wrong choice?”
“Oh, it’s nothing! Just add me on WeChat, you can contact me anytime if you need to.”
Jia Yuyan was still a bit worried, Ye Mengyan had made her feel quite inferior and she dared not to expose her hands in front of me.
“Miss Song, are you sure you really want me? My hands are not very nice-looking…”
Seeing this, I took out her hands and looked at them, and said at the sight of her slightly rough hands,
“These hands are proof of your diligence, I think they are fine! Don’t overthink things, come to work at the office tomorrow!”
As soon as I finished my sentence.
The figure of Gu Yuanzhou appeared before my eyes.
A top-tier black suit, a diamond-studded RM luxury watch on his wrist, his shoes so shiny they were reflective.
This extravagant and luxurious outfit was somewhat out of place in the simple campus setting.
Coupled with his inherently domineering and cold aura, and his outstanding appearance, his appearance instantly drew the attention of many young girls nearby.
From afar, there were groups of girls already pointing and whispering about him.
These young girls simply could not resist such a handsome and wealthy man.
I looked at Jia Yuyan with a glance, she seemed calm, poised, and did not even give Gu Yuanzhou a second look. Truly a very mature woman. Why didn’t I choose her in the first place?
If I had chose her, there would never have been an issue with Ye Mengyan.
Would Gu Yuanzhou have possibly not betrayed me then?
“Why did you choose her?”
The domineering look on Gu Yuanzhou’s face.
I suspect he might have seen the argument between Jia Yuyan and Ye Mengyan earlier.
He couldn’t bear to see Ye Mengyan wronged, and probably came over to make trouble for us.
I didn’t respond to him. Instead, I mockingly retorted,
“Gu Yuanzhou, you really have no shame! In order to smear us, you even falsely accused us of infringing on your product!”
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t feel ashamed at all, but rather smirked.
“Making a buzz, and getting your company on the hot search. Didn’t I save you some advertising costs? You really are an ungrateful woman! Mentioning Zhenyi’s old stories to smear us, isn’t that also shameless?”
“You!”
I was silenced by his retort.
“Forget it, I can’t be bothered arguing with you, let’s go!”
I didn’t want to talk to him anymore, I took Jia Yuyan’s hand and was just about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanzhou took a step forward and blocked me.
“Why did you choose her?”
“Because, selecting Ye Mengyan was a mistake!”
Gu Yuanzhou stared at me for a few seconds,
“Why do you say that?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Ye Mengyan is simply a waste of the tuition fees investors paid for her for four years! Compared to Jia Yuyan, she is insignificant! It’s laughable, Gu Yuanzhou, what do you see in her? Is it her face?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze eventually fell on Jia Yuyan’s face, he only took one look and shook his head, “She’s not suited to be in this profession!”
“So, is President Gu implying that he is looking to intimidate on behalf of Ye Mengyan, cutting off Jia Yuyan’s path?”
“Just about!”
“Alright then, we’ll see, let’s see who trains the better person in the future! Oh right, you finally put Ye Mengyan in Zhenyi in the end, let me tell you, it’s definitely a decision you will regret for the rest of your life, because, she will ruin Zhenyi.”
“So what?”
The look in Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes was completely unconcerned.
It seemed to him that the Zhenyi company was nothing more than a toy.
It was only when seeing Gu Yuanzhou’s indifferent gaze that I made up my mind to walk down this path of dissolving Zhenyi.
“Little Jiang, let’s go!”
I took Jia Yuyan’s arm and left.
Behind me, came the coquettish voice of Ye Mengyan,
“Brother Gu, Song Xiaoyun bullied me again just now!”
I didn’t even bother to turn around.
I knew, Ye Mengyan was just bitter.
I would prove to Gu Yuanzhou that the woman he had chosen, was nothing more than a fool.
The fact proves that my choice was not wrong.
The next morning, after Jia Yuyan came to the company to report, I immediately took her into my workspace.
What shocked me was that she had an astonishing similarity to myself in traditional costumes, her specialty was actually designing and making Hanfu.
Right in front of me, she directly made a Hanfu, complete with pleated skirt, out of a piece of cloth.
She was extremely proficient at making all kinds of button designs and waistbands.
I couldn’t help but ask her, “Have you worked in this industry before?”
Jia Yuyan blushed slightly, “My family didn’t have much money, so to earn tuition fees, I sometimes worked as a summer job in drama groups. I didn’t know how to act, so I helped them make costumes!”
“Hmm, that’s good, our company is planning to launch a high-end line of Hanfu. Do you have the confidence to design it?”
“Okay, I’m confident!”
In order to allow Jia Yuyan to create better works, I gave her a separate workshop space and named this system of Hanfu she designed under her name, calling it Yu Yan Hanfu.
In the afternoon, I went to the hospital once again.
I went to see Ding Yinuo’s mother.
When I saw Madam Ding, I was completely shocked.
The originally gentle and reserved middle-aged lady now had white hair and appeared frail. She laid on the bed listlessly, as if her soul had already left along with Mr. Ding’s departure.
What was left in the world was nothing more than an empty shell.
At the door of the ward, Ding Yinuo quietly warned me,
“My mom’s health is very poor right now, try not to upset her when you talk later. She might not hold on and may die at any time”
“I understand! I’ll be careful!”
“Okay, go in!”
When we entered the room, Ding Yinuo was still holding my hand. Only when we reached Madam Ding’s bedside did he bend down and whisper,
“Mom, Ayun came to see you!”
I then also called out, “Auntie, I came to see you!”
Upon hearing our voices, Madam Ding slowly raised her head. When she saw me, her originally blank expression suddenly brightened.
She grabbed my hand, “Xiaosong! Your timing is perfect! I was just about to go find you!”
I moved a bit closer to the bed, “Auntie, what did you need me for?”
