Chapter 96: Who is Taking Advantage of Whom?

~7 min read 1,383 words

"Brother Han, don't..."

"Brother Han, that's enough, that's enough!"

She was flipped back and forth by him, one moment having her legs pulled, the next having her waist stretched.

Not until her entire body had been stretched from head to toe did he finally let her go: "Go take a shower."

Bai Shuruo hurriedly escaped back to her room.

It was truly magical; she had been exhausted from exercising, but after being stretched by him, she felt incredibly relaxed all over, as if she had been reborn.

So she couldn't figure it out—was it him taking advantage of her, or her taking advantage of him?

She had heard that a private training session at a gym outside cost three or four hundred.

At the end of February, "Doudou New Energy Automobile Company" began production of the company's first new car.

The production line was imported from Beishi, and the workers and technical masters were all experienced; coupled with the personnel brought in by the investors, the production line ran very smoothly, and presumably, the new car would be visible by March.

Bai Shunan was so busy she barely had a moment to rest, practically eating and living at the company.

One day in early March, Gu Yunting sent her several WeChat messages, asking if she could come out for a meal; she was working at the time, took a glance, and did not reply.

As it turned out, that afternoon, Gu Yunting actually came to the company.

After he arrived, he looked left and right, and seeing that Bai Shunan's company was beginning to take shape, his heart could not help but feel a complex mix of emotions.

Why hadn't he realized her excellence before?

Bits and pieces of their time together since they met surfaced in his mind: at first, she was just a front-desk Secretary at the company, and it was because he saw she was beautiful and happened to be short a Secretary that he had transferred her over.

Originally, he hadn't expected her to be capable; he just thought to keep her by his side and bring her along when meeting clients to serve as a facade, but he hadn't expected her to have such strong learning ability and to progress so rapidly, soon becoming capable of handling things on her own at the company, truly adept at dealing with all sides.

Later on, he got drunk, and somehow the two of them got involved, and from then on, it was unstoppable.

She had never asked him to take responsibility, and as for him, he never wanted to take responsibility either; it seemed that being together was just about providing each other warmth.

Now, seeing her manage the new company in such an orderly fashion, he felt that his former self had been blinded by her appearance and those matters in bed; she was ten thousand times stronger than he had imagined.

It was precisely at this moment that he understood why his parents wanted him to marry her.

Only by marrying such a woman could one make the family flourish.

"Gu Yunting? Why are you here?" Bai Shunan returned from the production line and saw Gu Yunting standing at the entrance of her office, lost in thought.

Gu Yunting turned around and saw Bai Shunan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

She had lost some weight, her attire was not as exquisite as before, and she was dressed casually, the whole person exuding capability.

"Came to see... your new company." In front of her, Gu Yunting was actually a bit nervous.

Bai Shunan smiled: "President Gu, feel free to look around, but I'm a bit busy right now and can't accompany you."

"I can accompany President Gu." Ling Feng appeared from who knows where, and he said nonchalantly.

Bai Shunan glanced at Ling Feng, then at Gu Yunting, and said: "Fine, then I'll trouble Vice President Ling."

Having said that, she went into the General Manager's office herself.

Gu Yunting turned around and looked at Ling Feng.

When Ling Feng wasn't working, there was a sense of casualness and playboy charm about him; with both hands in his trouser pockets, his demeanor was clearly that of a wealthy scion who had seen the world, and in front of Gu Yunting, he was not at all inferior.

Their gazes met, and there seemed to be an invisible spark.

"Doesn't President Gu want to tour the company? Follow me." Ling Feng spoke up.

Gu Yunting glanced at Bai Shunan's office.

Ling Feng couldn't help but say: "President Bai is very busy right now; everything in the company requires her approval. There was a small problem in the production workshop today, and she is dealing with it now, so you had best not disturb her."

Gu Yunting followed Ling Feng and said indifferently: "What is your position in this company? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Me? I suppose I'm a partner. I'm from Beishi, and my name is Ling Feng. I look forward to your guidance in the future, President Gu." Ling Feng said he looked forward to guidance, but his hands remained in his pockets and he didn't take them out at all.

Gu Yunting looked at Ling Feng with disdain, earnestly maintaining his own arrogance: "Let's look forward to each other's guidance. I am a person who has always liked to ask questions without shame."

Ling Feng turned back and laughed: "President Gu is still so concerned about face on someone else's turf; be careful or I won't take you on the tour. But I suppose your purpose in coming here isn't for a tour anyway, is it? It's for Bai Shunan, right?"

Gu Yunting had no choice but to lower his posture and say: "It's her company, so naturally I must tour it. Please lead the way, Vice President Ling."

The production line was in another location, which had been rented later.

Upon arriving, Ling Feng introduced to Gu Yunting: "These are our production lines, President Gu, take your time looking."

Having brought him here, Ling Feng turned and left.

This made Gu Yunting angry: "You brought me here for a tour, and you're leaving first?"

Ling Feng said indifferently: "Our factory is only this big, it's clear at a glance, and there are workers here; if there's anything you don't understand, just ask them directly."

Gu Yunting sneered: "I initially thought Bai Shunan had hired some talent, but I didn't expect them to be so unrefined, not even knowing the etiquette of receiving guests."

"Goodbye, President Gu." Regardless of what he said, Ling Feng walked straight out of the workshop.

Gu Yunting had no choice but to wander around inside by himself.

It had to be said that Bai Shunan managed this aspect very well; the factory was very standardized, and the craftsmanship was also advanced.

But he didn't look for long before he went outside.

Once outside, he called Bai Shunan again.

This time, Bai Shunan answered.

"What guidance does President Gu have?" Bai Shunan's tone was very cold and very busy.

Gu Yunting got straight to the point: "Nannan... when are you free? I want to meet with you."

"President Gu, please just state your business; I am really very busy."

"I'll just wait until you get off work to talk in person; I'll wait for you."

"It's only 5 o'clock now; I won't be able to leave until at least eleven tonight."

"Then I'll wait for you until eleven." Gu Yunting hung up the phone.

Bai Shunan was stunned.

At this moment, Ling Feng came in, and she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you take President Gu to tour the company? Why are you back so soon?"

Ling Feng plopped down onto Bai Shunan's desk and said, "He didn't come here to tour the company; you know what his purpose is."

"I know, he came wanting to see me," Bai Shunan said.

"So, are you going to see him or not?" Ling Feng's eyes held a look of scrutiny.

Bai Shunan said while organizing her documents, "Depends on my mood, mainly because I don't have the time."

Ling Feng took the cup from Bai Shunan's desk and said, "Your hot water is gone, I'll go brew you a cup of coffee."
