_1 Editor: webnoveltest13 “Did she really say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen had a somewhat surprised expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had this woman gone crazy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s good about taking all responsibility if she fails, but not getting credit if she succeeds?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng sighed, “Yes, she made a military order in front of all the shareholders, and now the whole company knows about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen frowned, “Who spread the news?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng shook his head, “I don’t know that, but now almost everyone knows about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “What’s your take on this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng thought for a moment and said, “It’s well known throughout the company that Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian has always been at odds with General Manager Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think the acquisition will probably not go smoothly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen sighed, “And you see, even we, ordinary employees, can think of this, why can’t she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng smiled, “Maybe General Manager Chu has her own ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this kind of thing is like a battle of wits and everyone has their own trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result can only be known at the end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen smiled, “You’ve got a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think the company would be better off with General Manager Chu in charge, or with Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng laughed, “Brother Chen, you’d make the best team leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know General Manager Chu and have connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, naturally, I’d prefer her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “You’re quite candid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng grinned, “Actually, General Manager Chu is really a good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seems very energetic and cares about the lower-level employees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian and his people, maybe they’ve been leaders for too long and got used to being above everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this perspective, I actually hope General Manager Chu can lead the company forward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gao Feng left, Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, wondering whether or not to give Chu Jiaxue some advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just half a day, the news from the shareholders’ meeting had spread throughout the entire company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absolutely impossible for it to have happened without someone pushing things from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no second possibility other than Qian Bueyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to shape the public opinion within the company first, and when Chu Jiaxue failed, he could then rightfully kick her out of her position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, Lin Chen decided to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiaxue was so smart that she couldn’t be unaware of what she was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe she had a trump card, or maybe she was going all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in any case, she had her own reasons and there was no need for him to be involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was not really her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, their relationship couldn’t even be considered friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, they were partners in some sort of collaboration?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let her be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman carrying such a burden was truly exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she failed and was ousted, it might not be a bad thing—it might even be a liberation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After work, Lin Chen drove to the Gu Family’s house to give acupuncture treatment to the old man as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he came downstairs after finishing the acupuncture, Bai Qian enthusiastically handed him some water, “You’ve worked hard, Xiao Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s almost meal time now, just have dinner with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen declined politely, “Auntie, maybe next time, I still have something to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Qian playfully said, “The incident during the camping trip last week, if not for you, Xiaoxi might have lost her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have no idea how frightened I was when I heard about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, you have to stay and have a meal so I can express my gratitude.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked for help at Gu Yuexi, who said with a smile, “It’s after work now, what do you have to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just eat and then leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was speechless; so much for helping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re supposed to be on my side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the conversation already at this point, Lin Chen could only agree, “Alright, Auntie, I’ll take you up on your offer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Qian happily scolded, “You’re such a child, why be so polite?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, treat this place like your own home and come over whenever you have time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll cook you something delicious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Qian went into the kitchen to cook, and Lin Chen turned to stare at Gu Yuexi without saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi felt slightly embarrassed being stared at and naturally sat down next to Lin Chen, pushing his arm, “Hey, just show some gratitude!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You still have to eat anyway; just eat and go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked, “How did your mom find out about the camping incident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you tell her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi shook her head, “Gao Xiaomin told her family, and her mom told my mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, I got scolded for not informing my parents about such a big incident.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen suddenly realized, “Does your dad know too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi got a little closer and asked with a grin, “Do you want to know if my dad still disapproves of us being together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s thoughts were laid bare, and he felt slightly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to hold Gu Yuexi’s head and pushed her away a little, “Just say what you want to say, why are you getting so close?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi laughed, “Right on the money, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, in fact, just asked out of habit and didn’t really plan to develop anything with Gu Yuexi, but he did think that way at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why should I feel guilty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you believe I’ll tell your mom the truth right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi grabbed Lin Chen’s arm and threatened him in a low voice, “You dare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you say it, I’ll tell everyone that you looked at my chest, twice, and that you slept with me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, there was a sound at the entrance, and Gu Hongtao walked in with a few invitations in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Chen, Gu Hongtao hesitated for a moment with a slightly complex expression, “Lin Chen, you’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Yes, I came to give the old man acupuncture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s recovering very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, the frequency of acupuncture treatment can be reduced to once a week.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi made a face and changed the subject, “Dad, what are you holding?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Hongtao held up the invitations in his hand, looking somewhat excited, “Liu Zhen Hao is coming to Pingjiang, and he’s organizing a banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent me an invitation, so we’ll all go together at that time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi asked in surprise, “Liu Zhen Hao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Real Estate King from Linhai City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Hongtao nodded, “Yes, it’s him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi blinked and suddenly grabbed Lin Chen’s arm, “Can Lin Chen come with us?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-06T01:51:31.865Z",1,"novelbin.me","982a75b96fb02d70824be048f5492efa1df070fb0a2a8f128e615a02b6de389a","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-35","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-33",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
