Chapter 158: Who Can Land It?

Gu Mianmian turning cowardly at the critical moment like this struck Gu Wenyan as somewhat laughable. If it had been before… Gu Wenyan certainly wouldn't have minded continuing to make trouble for Gu Mianmian at this time.

But now, Gu Wenyan still had some of her own matters to attend to, because Gu Mianmian felt that her inability to sign the cooperation agreement until now was due to her own lack of ability, not knowing…

It wasn't that Gu Wenyan had no opportunity, but that she wanted to give everyone a tremendous surprise.

Bao Sihan arrived downstairs at the company to pick Gu Wenyan up when she got off work, coincidentally just as some employees from the Marketing Department were also finishing their day.

They all saw at the company entrance the intimate manner in which Bao Sihan picked up Gu Wenyan, and recalling the things Gu Mianmian had said…

Their gazes at Gu Wenyan gained a certain something extra.

Gu Wenyan was well aware of their thoughts, but paid them no mind, getting directly into the car with Bao Sihan.

She had not intended to bring up the matter, but Bao Sihan was even more perceptive than she had imagined.

The man touched her face, his voice deep: "What happened? Why would you have such an unhappy expression?"

Gu Wenyan bit her lip: "How did you tell?"

She thought she had hidden it well enough, that not the slightest anomaly would be detected by Bao Sihan, but the truth was…

All the natural behavior she had assumed she was displaying was laid completely bare before Bao Sihan's eyes.

Bao Sihan gently drew her shoulder in, pulling her into his embrace, and gazed intently into her eyes: "Remember what I told you? Whatever it is, you can tell me."

"…Mm, it's just some things at the company, but the impact isn't really that big. I can handle it myself, don't worry about me."

"As long as you can resolve it, that's fine."

Bao Sihan could sense an unprecedented sense of surprise from Gu Wenyan. At first, her behavior had been rash and impulsive, but everything changed dramatically on the day she fled the wedding.

He saw a different side of Gu Wenyan—the shrewdness and cleverness she had hidden in the shadows, never discovered by anyone else…

And the many secrets she kept all filled him with pleasant surprise, as if he had discovered a treasure.

With only a few days left until the wedding, after taking her to eat, Bao Sihan went to confirm the wedding gown and other preparations once more.

From start to finish, Gu Wenyan had never busied herself with these matters; it was basically all arranged by Bao Sihan.

But everything Bao Sihan did left Gu Wenyan completely satisfied.

When trying on the wedding gown, Gu Wenyan did not let Bao Sihan see her.

She hoped… that Bao Sihan would only see her in her most beautiful state at the wedding venue.

While he was loving her, she too was very much in love with him.

No longer the resistance of when they had married before.

After Gu Wenyan changed into the wedding gown, the stylist could not help exclaiming: "Miss Gu, you are truly too beautiful. When the Head of the Bo Family sees you in your wedding gown, he is sure to be wonderfully surprised!"

Gu Wenyan gave a charming, coquettish smile at herself in the mirror.

Mm, he probably would be… she too was very much looking forward to that day arriving.

As the wedding drew closer and closer, Gu Wenyan's feelings had also undergone a tremendous change.

Across two lifetimes, she was finally going to marry him again.

When Gu Wenyan returned home, Gu Mianmian was chatting with their parents about work at the company. Discussing these matters, she now finally had some confidence and believed she possessed the qualifications.

Gu Wenyan greeted her parents, exchanged a few brief pleasantries, and went upstairs.

She vaguely heard downstairs Gu Mianmian acting coquettishly toward their father: "Sigh, big sister probably still has some bias against me and dislikes me, but it doesn't matter… things are already quite good as they are now."

Gu Wenyan closed her bedroom door, so she did not hear how her parents were comforting Gu Mianmian.

She only knew that Gu Mianmian was, as always, adept at disguise and concealment in this household.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't be of use for much longer.

The next day, Gu Mianmian was once again in a commanding, all-powerful state at the company. With the contract she had signed, if commissions were taken into account, the relevant employees in charge should each be able to receive a bonus of around thirty thousand.

For ordinary people, this sum was already quite generous, by no means small.

After all, their annual salary might only be a hundred or two hundred thousand, which was a considerable amount for ordinary people.

So the people gathering around Gu Mianmian grew even more numerous; they were hoping that next time, when Gu Mianmian negotiated a similar cooperation, she would also give them a chance to participate.

Around Gu Wenyan, by contrast, things were noticeably much quieter. Those employees who had previously kept crowding around Gu Wenyan, chatting her up, today seemed to have vanished, no longer appearing in her vicinity.

Gu Wenyan was in no rush, still busy at her own pace. She did not care whether these changes in the people around her would actually have a significant impact on her.

Whether it was indifference or warmth, flattery and fawning, or disdain toward her.

Gu Wenyan would not be so easily affected.

In her view, she only needed to do her own job well, and that was enough.

During the lunch break, many people were eating in the restaurant provided by Gu Group, and Gu Wenyan was there as well.

The surroundings were filled with other employees from the Marketing Department, but most of them were at Gu Mianmian's table, while Gu Wenyan's side was deserted and rather quiet.

Of course, there were still a few employees here, but compared with the previous lively scene, the change could be described as an earth-shattering, tremendous difference.

The topic they were discussing concerned a certain multinational company, which was looking for a partner in the Greater China region to cooperate with.

The multinational company's headquarters was in New York, its scale extremely vast, with over a hundred thousand employees worldwide; it could be said to be one of the top ten giant conglomerates globally.

They were looking for a cooperating institution domestically this time, so many companies were very eager for such an opportunity and were all trying to reach out to the relevant people in charge to get some information in advance.

"You must have all heard, our company also wants to take part in this competition… but it probably won't fall to our department to handle it, right?"

"Who knows, our department has never had this kind of experience before, so the company wouldn't feel reassured handing it to us."

"Mianmian! You're the president's sister, you must have some inside information. Does President Gu really want to land this opportunity?"

Gu Mianmian smiled: "Since you all already know, yes, big brother does have this idea. After all, the value of this cooperation is at least two hundred million US dollars…"

Upon hearing the figure of two hundred million US dollars, everyone involuntarily drew a sharp breath.

"Wow, that's so much, this company of theirs is way too loaded!"

"Right, this company has accumulated tremendous capital, so I think we should also make an effort to take part in the competition."

"Sigh, if anyone could land this case, how much commission would they get? Just thinking about it is envious…"

Hearing this, the corner of Gu Wenyan's mouth curved upward.
