When Gu Chen received a call from Mrs. Xu, he was surprised. Since the last incident, the two families had limited their interactions to basic business cooperation.

When Mrs. Xu explained her intention to collaborate, Gu Chen didn’t immediately agree. “Mrs. Xu, since the jewelry brand isn’t solely owned by Gu Corporation, I need to discuss it with my partners.”

“Are you going to discuss it with Song Fan? I didn’t know that President Gu had to consult a woman for everything,” Mrs. Xu said, her tone filled with displeasure. But remembering her daughter’s plea, she quickly added, “Sorry, that was a slip of the tongue. Given the three-way partnership, it makes sense to discuss it. I’ll await your good news.”

Gu Chen didn’t argue with her and, after hanging up, headed straight to Song Corporation.

When Meng Xia saw Gu Chen enter the office, she felt a bit excited. She thought her new status would give her the opportunity to speak with him, but Gu Chen didn’t even glance at her.

Lan Yue and Li Na stood in front of Meng Xia, with Lan Yue stepping forward. “President Gu, it’s perfect timing. President Song is available now. Let me take you to her.”

Watching Gu Chen leave, Li Na snorted. “Some people should just focus on their pregnancy. Not everyone wants to be a stepfather.”

Before Meng Xia could retort, Li Na quickly walked away, not wanting to spend another minute around her.

When Gu Chen arrived at Song Fan’s office, she was struggling with the new designs. Kevin’s proposals were good, but something still felt off to her.

“What brings you here?” Song Fan stood up, stretching her neck wearily.

Gu Chen walked over and began to massage her shoulders, but she quickly dodged. “If you have something to say, just say it. No need for physical contact.”

Amused by her reaction, Gu Chen’s mood improved. “I wanted to discuss the jewelry launch event. Have you considered holding it in the capital?”

“The capital?” Song Fan pondered. “It’s definitely a better location. It’s the national center, and there’s plenty of media coverage. But the venue…”

Not familiar with the capital, she looked at Gu Chen. “Do you have any ideas?”

“It’s actually Mrs. Xu’s idea.” Gu Chen explained Mrs. Xu’s proposal.

Though Song Fan sensed some potential scheming, she couldn’t deny the logic. She quickly looked up information about the Xu family’s mall on her computer. It was a newly opened mall this year, seemingly wanting to leverage Gu Corporation and Brown Group’s reputation for promotion. It seemed reasonable enough. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If you think it’s unsuitable, Gu Corporation has plenty of other malls to choose from,” Gu Chen said, noticing her frown.

With Gu Corporation’s capabilities, not collaborating with the Xu family wouldn’t be an issue. It was just about finding a suitable mall for promotion.

Song Fan shook her head. “It’s not unsuitable. The store she gave me is on the first floor. Since it’s my own store, I feel more secure using it. Using someone else’s store for the first launch wouldn’t feel as safe.”

“Gu Corporation has two excellent malls with high foot traffic.” Gu Chen pulled out his phone and sent Song Fan the prepared information. “And you can choose any location you like. What’s mine is yours.”

Song Fan, absorbed in reviewing the mall details, nearly choked on his words. She didn’t dare look up, knowing her face was already red.

“Why waste money when there’s a free option?” She paused before continuing, “Besides, aren’t store leases renewed at the beginning of the year? Reclaiming them now would require hefty compensation. It’s unnecessary. Xu’s mall will do fine.”

Gu Chen didn’t respond immediately, just watching her. He knew her reaction had changed because of his earlier comment.

Song Fan coughed awkwardly. “Do you think it’s unsuitable? Or do you have other plans?”

“I said, what’s mine is yours,” Gu Chen began, slowly leaning over her desk.

“Song Fan! Are you kidding me?” Kevin burst in, halting at the sight of them.

“What did I do?” Song Fan almost jumped from her chair, her face reddening as she hurried over.

Kevin glanced between Gu Chen and the blushing Song Fan, a knowing look on his face. He was witnessing the blossoming of a rare relationship.
