Gu Ranran was out of her mind. After she yelled, she turned and ran.
Madam Gu stood there stunned for a moment, then tears fell.
Her daughter, whom she had doted on for so long, spoke to her like this. She just didn't want Ranran to be harmed by that Yang Hao!
Gu Ranran ran all the way out of the Gu family's old residence, her throat hoarse from the earlier shouting. She wiped away her tears.
Standing on the street, she suddenly didn't know where to go.
She had been abandoned by the whole world; she only had Brother Hao.
Gu Ranran hurried to the apartment on Tingqing Road. At this moment, all she wanted was to see Brother Hao and be held by him.
In a coffee shop on Tingqing Road.
Yang Hao woke up early and sat in a chair, leaning back, revealing the dragon tattoo on his arm.
"After a night of heavy drinking, you drag me here first thing in the morning. What exactly do you want?"
Yang Hao stared at the woman opposite him with a rascally grin.
He had been woken up that morning. After answering the phone, he first cursed at the caller. He didn't expect the other party to be a woman, and she spoke gently, saying she had something to tell him.
The meeting place was a coffee shop. When Yang Hao saw the woman opposite him, he was instantly stunned.
Beautiful, gentle, and large-breasted.
She was exactly to his liking.
However, why was this strange woman looking for him so suddenly?
It was possible that the Gu family had deliberately hired her to seduce him into cheating!
Yang Hao watched the woman warily.
Song Nuan smiled at Yang Hao, "You don't need to be so scared. Since I'm looking for you, I'll definitely help you."
"What can you help me with?" Yang Hao's gaze kept lingering on Song Nuan's chest.
Song Nuan's coffee arrived. She took a sip and smiled, "I'm here to remind you that Gu Ranran's importance in the Gu family is far greater than you think."
"What do you mean?" Yang Hao narrowed his eyes.
Song Nuan smiled, "I know you're from a rural background, and your family has always favored sons. You have an older brother and an older sister, and later your sister was traded for your brother, right?"
Yang Hao rolled up his sleeves, "You investigated me?"
Song Nuan pointed outside the door, "My bodyguards are outside. I advise you not to make a move."
Yang Hao looked towards the entrance. Two men in black suits and dark glasses were standing there.
His expression turned awkward, but now he believed that the woman in front of him wasn't sent by the Gu family.
"What do you want?"
Song Nuan smiled, "I told you I'm here to help you. I have some grievances with the Gu family, so I'm happy to see Gu Ranran marry you."
"Gu Ranran is the apple of the Gu family's eye. The main branch of the Gu family only has Gu Qichen and Gu Ranran in this generation. The whole family dotes on her. You can rest assured and talk to her slowly. The Gu family will never give up on her."
Yang Hao sneered, "So what? What does it have to do with me that you have grievances with the Gu family?"
He then stood up, intending to leave.
Song Nuan chuckled, "Are you short of money recently?"
Yang Hao paused and turned to look at Song Nuan.
Song Nuan placed her bag on the table and took out two stacks of money.
Two hundred thousand.
Yang Hao's eyes widened. Gu Ranran hadn't been able to provide money lately, and he hadn't met up with his friends for several days.
Since getting together with Gu Ranran, Yang Hao had fallen in love with the thrill of spending money lavishly and being the center of attention.
"This is for you." Song Nuan stood up. "I told you I'm here to help you. Just keep Gu Ranran happy. If you can really marry her, your wealth will be beyond your imagination."
Seeing that Yang Hao didn't dare to touch the money on the table, Song Nuan chuckled and left first.
Yang Hao stared at the two hundred thousand on the table, then looked up to see the strange woman had left with her two bodyguards.
He narrowed his eyes and picked up the two hundred thousand from the table.
What a strange woman.
Grievances with the Gu family?
Perhaps what she said earlier was also a lie, but regardless, having money to spend was always good.
Yang Hao walked out of the coffee shop in a good mood.
...
On the seventeenth floor of Gu Corporation, in the Qing Sui Perfume Department, today was the day of the product launch.
Li Ai's tense face was drawn tight, and the other perfumers were also looking nervous.
When Qin He came out of the office, seeing everyone looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's going on? Why do you all look like that?"
Li Ai walked up to Qin He, "Sister Qin He, the launch event will begin soon. We're a little nervous."
Qin He raised an eyebrow, "This series has already gone viral online. As soon as the launch event is over, it will be available for purchase. You don't need to be nervous; it's just a formality. You just need to read a speech."
Li Ai nodded numbly with nervousness, "En—En? Isn't reading the speech your job?"
Qin He laughed, "Yes, but I don't plan to attend the launch event. Today's event will be hosted by you, the deputy director."
Li Ai's eyes widened, "I—I can't do it, Sister Qin He. Please go, I'm scared."
At this moment, Li Ai seemed to have returned to how she was on the pink beach.
Qin He said helplessly, "Li Ai, calm down. You are now the deputy director of Qing Sui. You have to shoulder some responsibility."
Qin He spoke boldly, ignoring her own responsibilities as director.
Li Ai stood there nervously.
Qin He reassured her, "The speech is already written, and you know all the procedures. What else are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid I won't do a good job—"
Qin He's expression turned serious, "Li Ai, although Qing Sui is a perfume brand I co-established with Gu Corporation, you also know I have many other things to attend to.
In the future, I will likely only provide some perfume and spice formulas to Qing Sui periodically and will not be heavily involved in management. Qing Sui will still need you to lead it. If you truly feel you can't do it, then there's no need for us to hold this launch event. It was meant to be a formality anyway."
Li Ai lowered her head and thought for a few seconds.
Her previously somewhat helpless little face became a little firmer, "We'll hold it. Sister Qin He, I'll do it!"
"That's the spirit. People need to grow. Relying on anyone is not as good as being able to stand on your own." Qin He smiled and patted Li Ai's shoulder.
"Good luck. Even if you misread the speech during the event, it's not a big deal. Just stay calm."
After encouraging Li Ai, Qin He went to the top floor to slack off with Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen had just returned from a meeting. Seeing Qin He arrive, he raised an eyebrow.
"Not attending the launch event?"
"No, I'm letting Li Ai gain some experience. So she doesn't always get bullied by her stupid cousin," Qin He said with a smile.
She had heard about what happened last time from Li Ai. Li Ai had always felt it was her fault and had asked to resign afterward.
She felt she had failed the department, and it was only after a lot of psychological counseling from Qin He that Li Ai stayed.
However, that incident also served as a wake-up call. Li Ai was too soft-natured and needed to become more independent.
Otherwise, Zhang Caiyu might find other ways to trick her in the future.
