Chapter 1700 - Easily Replaced

“It’s evil capitalism!” Hao Ran said.

The car stopped outside the gate of the grand office building, then they got out of it.

“Nice to see you, Chairman Gu.” A security guard greeted Gu Ning with great respect once he saw her.

Gu Ning then gave the car key to him and asked him to park it in the parking lot, otherwise it would block the entrance.

As Gu Ning walked inside with her friends, all the staff greeted her with respect. “Nice to see you, Chairman Gu.”

After they entered an elevator, Hao Ran said with excitement, “Wow, boss, it’s so cool! I’ll tell my staff to call me Chairman Hao once I walk into the company in the future.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You can, but you must study hard first. You need to prove that you have the ability to take over your family business. Business is like a battlefield without smoke. If you don’t have abilities, you’ll be easily replaced,” said Gu Ning to encourage Hao Ran.

Although Hao Ran had made a big change during this year, he still couldn’t focus on his studies.

If Hao Ran was determined to become a successful businessman, she wouldn’t hesitate to help him. However, if he refused to work for his own future, it would be useless even if she wanted to help him. Although Hao Ran was her friend, she wouldn’t help a lazy man.

“Boss, you don’t need to be worried about that. You’re my idol, and I’ll learn from you,” said Hao Ran with a serious expression.

Gu Ning brought them straight to the 18th floor, where her office was.

Although they came to her company for a tour, it wasn’t appropriate for them to walk around casually, because it would affect the staff. If they wanted to go to other floors, they had to wait till the staff left at 6 pm.

“Boss, is this whole floor your office?” asked Hao Ran.

“Yes,” Gu Ning answered.

“It’s big!” said Hao Ran. His father’s office was much smaller than Gu Ning’s. The floor of Gu Ning’s office was about a thousand square meters.

“Um, I only use several of the rooms on this floor, and most of the other rooms are empty,” said Gu Ning. It was impossible for her to use the whole floor by herself, but it was the chairman’s office after all, and should be separated from the other offices.

“The teahouse is the next room. There is tea, fruit juice, water, and coffee. You can have whatever you want,” said Gu Ning.

“Great!” The others didn’t think it was inappropriate, because they were good friends.

“Yu Mixi, what do you want?” Mu Ke asked Yu Mixi.

“Juice please,” said Yu Mixi.

Afterwards, Mu Ke went to make a glass of juice for Yu Mixi.

“Hao Ran, a cup of coffee please,” Chu Peihan said to Hao Ran.

“No problem.” Hao Ran didn’t mind it at all, and went to make a cup of coffee for Chu Peihan.

At this time, Gu Ning received a message from Chen Cangyi. Chen Cangyi heard that she came with her friends today and asked her whether they needed an attendant. Gu Ning replied that they didn’t need an attendant, and that they could do everything on their own.

Since she said that, Chen Cangyi didn’t say anything further about it. He didn’t go upstairs to bother Gu Ning either. He had nothing important to talk about with Gu Ning anyway.

“You can do your homework on the Internet to see where you want to have fun in the capital. We can go to have fun together tomorrow. It’ll be late when we finish dinner tonight, so we won’t hang out today,” Gu Ning said to Chu Peihan and her other friends. Although she had stayed in the capital for a long time, she seldom had fun outside, so she wasn’t familiar with that.

Gu Ning would listen to them wherever they wanted to go.

“Um, we have actually already reached an agreement. We’ll visit the palace tomorrow and Hengdian World Studios the day after tomorrow, and...” said Chu Peihan and she suddenly squinted at Gu Ning. It seemed that she had an evil idea in her mind.

Chu Peihan continued, “Boss, if it’s possible, can you let us play some roles in An Empress of Military Blood? We don’t need many lines; we simply want to show our faces. You don’t need to pay us either, we just want to experience what it feels like when we all put on clothes from the ancient time.”

“It’s easy, but I can’t get important roles for you, because the shooting is about to end. You can get some unimportant roles,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t think it was difficult.

If she was able to satisfy her friends’ needs, she would. Moreover, they just wanted unimportant roles, and all the important roles were settled earlier.

Chu Peihan knew the rules too. All the important roles were settled in contracts and actors couldn’t end the agreement as they wanted or they would have to pay a lot of money for it and their reputation would be damaged too. Therefore, Chu Peihan only wanted to play an unimportant role to experience it. There were many extras at the set after all, and nobody cared about them.

With Gu Ning’s agreement, Chu Peihan smiled with satisfaction.

Although Hao Ran and the others had no interest in acting, they thought that filming was fun, and they wouldn’t mind joining the crew for a few days. However, if they had to do that every day, they would go crazy.

...

When it was about 6 pm, they went to Shengshi Hotel.

Because everything was arranged well, Gu Ning directly went to see the manager. She called the manager once they walked into the hall of Shengshi Hotel, and the manager walked out to serve them without delay. His leader told him to serve them well, so he didn’t dare to be late.

“Nice to see you, Miss Gu. I’m the manager here, my name is Wu Chuan.” Wu Chuan greeted Gu Ning politely.

“Nice to meet you, Manager Wu,” said Gu Ning.

After that, Manager Wu took out a room keycard and gave it to Gu Ning. “Miss Gu, this is the room keycard.”

“Thanks.” Gu Ning handed the card to Mu Ke and told him to place their luggage in their room while they went to order some food in the private room at the dining hall.

Yu Mixi’s and Chu Peihan’s luggage was put in Gu Ning’s car, because they would be staying in Gu Ning’s house.

Manager Wu then guided Gu Ning and the others to the private room at the dining hall. They had prepared the best room for Gu Ning.

Mu Ke soon came down and joined them.

When they finished dinner, it was nearly 8:30 pm, and they separated at 9 pm.

Mu Ke and the other boys went to their room, while Chu Peihan and Yu Mixi followed Gu Ning to Century City.
