Chapter 70: Throwing Him to Africa to Watch Lions

~8 min read 1,524 words

After Bai Shuruo returned to her room, Han Yangting made a phone call to Ali.

"That person named Dazhu, find him a job at a zoo in Africa!" Han Yangting said.

At this moment, Ali was not at the construction site; he was on the rooftop of a villa having a BBQ with a busty, curvaceous rich woman, and the shrimp in his hand was only half-cooked.

Upon receiving the boss's call, Ali immediately sat up straight. "Alright, Boss, I understand."

But Ali became puzzled again: "Boss, didn't you say... that throwing people into Africa is something only CEOs in novels do? You aren't that type of person."

Han Yangting said: "It depends on the target; just do as I say."

That Dazhu was a hoodlum; if he couldn't stir up trouble today, he would likely come to stir up trouble in the future. He wanted to clear away all dangerous hidden threats for Bai Shuruo.

Besides, although Dazhu had elderly parents above and young children below, he was a parasite to his elders, a bully to his young, beat his wife, and couldn't earn money, currently relying on his wife to support him. Some time ago, his wife wanted to add a 3,000-yuan refrigerator to their home, but he insisted on adding one for 17,000 yuan; he was very vain. Throwing such a person to Africa was the best thing to do.

Ali understood and had no choice but to go handle the matter first.

Seeing that Ali had suddenly neglected her, the busty rich woman clung to him, teasing the back of his neck with her hand: "Ali, isn't your boss a bit too heartless? It's already this late, why is he still assigning you work?"

Ali was currently contacting the Africa office, saying he wanted to stuff a park guard into the wildlife park.

After finishing the contact, he said to the busty rich woman: "Sigh, when one drifts in the workplace, how can one avoid getting stabbed?"

The rich woman said: "Then quit your job, and I'll support you?"

Ali revealed a polite smile; he was a Special Assistant by the CEO's side. If he were to reveal his annual salary, it would definitely scare the rich woman to death.

Besides, the rich woman only had her eyes on his body and didn't love him as a person at all; he understood that.

Bai Shunan, who was also a CEO's Special Assistant, had just returned to her apartment when she received a call from Gu Yunting.

Gu Yunting said over the phone: "Shunan, you organize a birthday party for Wanqing."

Bai Shunan paused, then asked: "What scale of birthday party does CEO Gu want to hold? Who should be invited?"

Gu Yunting said: "You figure it out. The main thing is that Wanqing wants to show off our affection and highlight that I am a romantic and wealthy boyfriend."

Bai Shunan couldn't help but smile: "Since it's to highlight that CEO Gu dotes on her, then CEO Gu should at least put in some effort, right?"

Gu Yunting's tone was somewhat impatient: "You figure it out, as long as it's romantic."

"Then what kind of gift is CEO Gu planning to give her?"

"You decide. You're a woman; women understand women best."

"There are millions of women. Some like bags, some like houses, some like airplanes, and some like pets. I don't know which one Miss Wanqing likes?"

"... She should like pets. Send her a dog." Gu Yunting remembered that Mo Wanqing used to frequently post about her dog on her social media, and that dog later met with an accident and was gone.

"Alright, I've noted that down," Bai Shunan recorded them one by one. "Then what is Miss Wanqing's specific birthday?"

"January 1st."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Shunan glanced at the calendar on the table; there were only three days left until January 2nd.

Time was urgent; she needed to arrange the venue and the flow immediately.

She immediately contacted a public relations planning company. These companies would have venue recommendations and flow arrangements, and they had many themes and styles; as long as there was money, they could provide any theme one wanted.

But because the time was too tight, the venues she could contact now were limited, and the prices were very high.

After much persuasion, Bai Shunan finally managed to cut the price down a bit. Although the Gu family had money, opening sources and reducing expenditures was still necessary.

Finally, they settled on a beach birthday party theme.

Pretending that Gu Yunting and Mo Wanqing were playing on the beach, a band would suddenly appear to perform for them, followed by romantic fireworks. It turned out that most of the people on the beach were extras, and they would wish Mo Wanqing a happy birthday together.

Finally, Gu Yunting would present the birthday gift: a Samoyed puppy.

Bai Shunan felt this plan was good, so she confirmed it.

After finishing her work, she glanced at the time; it was already two o'clock in the morning.

She went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then lying on the bed, she was surprised to find that she had actually been able to discuss work with a focused mind just now.

That's right, she was discussing it entirely as a task. Even though she could imagine how romantic this birthday party would be, she didn't feel the heartache she had felt before.

This was probably immunity.

Bai Shunan felt that after another period of time, she would be able to completely give up on Gu Yunting.

CG Group.

Bai Shuruo hadn't worked in the office for almost a month. If it were in the past, she might have become even more distant from the people in the office.

They weren't close to begin with, and after leaving for a month, she was basically a stranger.

But because of that very popular post on the forum before, many people greeted her after she returned this time, which made her feel flattered. Even when she went to the restroom, people greeted her and said the photos of her in Xijiang were really beautiful.

After praising the photos, they would add: Your photos are even better-looking than you are in person.

This left Bai Shuruo not knowing how to respond.

The male colleagues in the company seemed to no longer deliberately keep their distance from her. Sometimes when she went to the cafeteria, as long as there was an empty seat nearby, someone would sit next to her. They felt proud to be able to eat with the company's little celebrity.

There were also people who would gossip about her marriage, probing and asking if her husband was an old man or something similar.

Bai Shuruo was too lazy to explain. Thinking of the photo she had taken with Han Yangting in a daze when she first returned to Fengcheng Hospital, she simply printed out the group photo, put it in a frame, and placed it on her desk.

The first person to discover the photo was Xiang Feifei, so she shouted: "Hey, who is this person? He's too handsome, right? I've never seen such a good-looking man."

Bai Shuruo pretended to be indifferent and said: "This... is my husband."

"Your husband is this handsome?" Xiang Feifei was stunned. She had a loud voice, and everyone nearby heard her.

Finally able to see Bai Shuruo's husband, the people nearby, even if they had work on hand, had to come over to gossip.

First were Li Jie and Wang Jie; they ran over quickly: "What does Shuruo's husband look like? Let me see."

Then there were the male colleagues in the front who liked to join in the fun. They had always thought Bai Shuruo's marriage was a fresh flower stuck in cow dung and wanted to see what this "cow dung" looked like.

Before long, Bai Shuruo was surrounded by people.

They took turns grabbing the photo frame to look at it, but the atmosphere was not as enthusiastic as imagined.

They even all fell silent.

Bai Shuruo thought to herself that they must be stunned, not expecting Han Yangting to be so handsome; she had said it long ago, Han Yangting was more handsome than the Four Heavenly Kings.

But, what was going on with Li Jie and Wang Jie silently returning to their seats?

The few male colleagues in front finished looking, then put the photo frame back, saying they had a lot to do and needed to start getting busy.

Bai Shuruo felt bad inside, thinking it must be because Han Yangting was too handsome, provoking their jealousy and inferiority.

Sigh, it is truly hard to be a person; if there is no photo, they spread rumors that she is with an old man, and if there is a photo, it hurts them.

He Yu was the last one to leave; He Yu was the type of person who could not keep things to himself, and he said, "Bai Shuruo, you actually don't need to be this vain."

"???" What did that mean?
