Chapter 245 - Is Boss in Love?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

All the saleswomen called Gu Ning, Miss Gu when she appeared in the store. Gu Ning had told them to do so in order to hide her real connection with Jade Beauty Jewelry.

Gu Ning gave them a smile as response before she went straight to the office.

“Boss, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming earlier? I could have picked you up!” Zhou Zhenghong said the minute he saw Gu Ning.

“I’m not a kid, and I can take a taxi myself. I didn’t want to bother you,” Gu Ning smiled.

Although Zhou Zhenghong didn’t think of it as bothering him, he listened to Gu Ning.

“Oh, these are the accounts of these days. Please have a look,” Zhou Zhenghong handed the accounts to Gu Ning.

Although Gu Ning was able to scan them within seconds, with Zhou Zhenghong’s presence, she intentionally slowed down her reading pace, but in Zhou Zhenghong’s eyes, she still finished checking quickly enough. By now Zhou Zhenghong completely believed that Gu Ning wasn’t an ordinary girl, so he was used to it already.

Jade Beauty Jewelry made huge profits till now.

After checking the accounts, Gu Ning suddenly thought of Shao Ping and she asked Zhou Zhenghong, “Uncle Zhou, what has been going on with Shao Ping recently?”

Speaking of Shao Ping, Zhou Zhenghong seemed cheerful. “After what happened last time, I hired someone in his company and exposed a scandal that they were secretly replacing jade of high quality with jade of low quality to deceive consumers. Thus less people are willing to buy their jewelry now, and they started losing money. I think they’ll close their stores in the near future.”

“We haven’t done anything yet, and he already fails!” Gu Ning couldn’t help laughing out loud. Indeed, Gu Ning didn’t have time to deal with Shao Ping yet, and he already failed after Zhou Zhenghong had exposed his dirty secrets.

Reputation and honesty were highly important for a business. Shao Ping was notorious for his bad behavior and he even secretly sold customers low quality jewelry at a high price. He was doomed to fail.

“You need be careful these days. If Shao Ping feels that he’s cornered, he will probably try to get revenge on you. Please let all the staff be aware of that. We all should be more careful,” Gu Ning said.

She wasn’t worried that Shao Ping would damage Jade Beauty Jewelry, but was concerned that he would probably try to hurt Zhou Zhenghong and his staff. Nothing was more important than lives.

“Sure, I will,” Zhou Zhenghong replied.

Gu Ning went back to Clean Water Blue Sky later.

On the way, Gu Ning suddenly remembered that she hadn’t checked on what was happening to Li Zhenzhen for a long time.

After she arrived at Clean Water Blue Sky, Gu Ning went to Yuan Sen’s villa to see whether there was any new situations. In the villa, both Yuan Sen and Lin Wencong were inside, but Li Zhenzhen and Su Jing were absent.

Although it was only 7 pm, it got dark quickly in the winter, so Gu Ning easily slid into the living room, hiding in a corner.

“Li Zhenzhen said that she has an appointment with Meng from the Qing Gang, so she can’t come here,” Lin Wencong said to Yuan Sen when he hung up.

“Gee, Li Zhenzhen and Su Jing really know how to play. They’re pretty close with the Qing Gang now. Do they think they can get rid of us in that way?” Yuan Sen said with apparent displeasure.

“Meng has drugs. They can get free drugs from them every time,” Lin Wencong said.

Drugs?

Gu Ning realized that Li Zhenzhen had already abandoned herself completely.

“So what? We have their videos and pictures! It’s impossible for them to get rid of us,” Yuan Sen said airily.

“Yuan Sen, even so, we should be aware that we can never mess up with the Qing Gang. Meng is a man of some power in the Qing Gang. If Li Zhenzhen is close to Meng, we will probably lose control of her,” Lin Wencong said.

“I know, but I don’t want to admit it!” Yuan Sen said angrily.

After hearing what happened to Li Zhenzhen, Gu Ning left.

When she was back in her own apartment, it was only 8 pm. She had nothing to do, so she sent a message to Leng Shaoting. Gu Ning wanted to call him, but was afraid to bother him. If he was free now, he would message her back once he read the message.

Leng Shaoting was busier at the end of the year, and he was in the middle of meeting now. Thus he missed Gu Ning’s message.

An hour later, when the meeting was over Leng Shaoting checked his phone. Noticing Gu Ning’s message, he immediately called her back while walking out.

“What’s going on? Why did boss walk out in a hurry to make the call?” Si Ming asked Xu Jinchen worriedly.

“Well, I think he must have missed a call from a girl, and he’s eager to call her back now,” Xu Jinchen said. He was green with envy. However, he wasn’t sure about it actually. He didn’t know how close Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning were now, but he knew that they had to be closer than before. Otherwise, Leng Shaoting wouldn’t have gone to City F and stayed there for so long to visit Gu Ning.

“What?”

Everyone was shocked by the news. They immediately surrounded Xu Jinchen asking for more details.

“Is it true? Is our boss in love?”

“You must know something! Tell us now!”

“Exactly, we’re all worried about him.”

“Come on! Tell us what you know.”

...

“I’m just guessing. If you want to know, why don’t you ask him yourself?” Xu Jinchen didn’t dare to tell them his boss’s secret, because he would be punished.

Everyone felt disappointed, but none of them dared to ask Leng Shaoting in person.

In fact, Xu Jinchen guessed correctly, but Gu Ning had only sent Leng Shaoting a message instead of calling him.

“I was in a meeting, and missed your message,” Leng Shaoting explained the minute that Gu Ning answered his call. Gu Ning could sense that he was nervous.

Gu Ning didn’t know what to say. Leng Shaoting was too cautious in love. “I knew that you were probably busy, so I didn’t call you directly.”

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was relieved. He indeed was too cautious in love with Gu Ning, because he hadn’t been in love before and he cared about Gu Ning so much.
