The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 54 You're surrendering and betraying the enemy.

"Did she really say that?"

Lin Chen looked somewhat surprised. Had this woman gone mad?
If you succeed, all the good things happen, but if you fail, you have to shoulder all the responsibility?
Gao Feng sighed, "That's right, the pledge he made in front of all the shareholders has now spread throughout the entire company."

Lin Chen frowned: "Who spread the message?"

Gao Feng shook his head: "I don't know about that. Anyway, almost everyone knows about it now."

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Gao Feng thought for a moment and said, "President Qian has always been at odds with President Chu, which is common knowledge in the company. I think the acquisition will probably not go so smoothly."

Lin Chen sighed: "Look, even ordinary employees like us can think of these things, how come she can't?"

Gao Feng laughed and said, "Perhaps President Chu has her own methods. After all, this kind of thing is like a battle of wits. Everyone has their own trump cards, and the outcome will only be known at the end."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. Which do you think is better, Manager Chu's company or Manager Qian's company?"

Gao Feng chuckled: "Brother Chen, it would be best if you were the team leader. Brother Chen, you know President Chu and you have a relationship. So, naturally, I hope it's President Chu."

Lin Chen laughed: "You're quite frank."

Gao Feng chuckled: "Actually, President Chu is a really good person. He seems very driven and cares about the lower-level employees. People like President Qian have probably been leaders for too long and are used to being high and mighty. In that respect, I actually hope that President Chu can lead the company forward."

After Gao Feng left, Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, wondering whether he should try to persuade Chu Jiaxue.

Within half a day, the events of the shareholders' meeting had spread throughout the entire company. It would be absolutely impossible to say that no one was stirring things up behind the scenes.

There's no other possibility besides the difficulty of making money.

His intention was to first create public opinion within the company so that when Chu Jiaxue failed, he could then conveniently remove her from office.

After thinking for a while, Lin Chen decided to give up.

Chu Jiaxue is so smart, she couldn't possibly not know what she was doing. Perhaps she had a trump card, or perhaps she was going all in. In any case, she had her own reasons, and there was no need for me to interfere.

Ultimately, he wasn't her real husband.

Our current relationship isn't even that of friends; at most, it's more like a partnership in some kind of collaboration.

Let her be.

It must be incredibly difficult for a woman to bear such a heavy burden. Even if she fails and is eliminated, it might be a relief for her.

After getting off work, Lin Chen drove to the Gu family home to give the old man acupuncture as usual.

After finishing his acupuncture and coming downstairs, Bai Qian warmly brought Lin Chen some water: "You've worked hard, Lin. It's almost dinnertime, so have dinner here."

Lin Chen politely declined, saying, "Auntie, maybe next time. I have something to do."

Bai Qian said reproachfully, "Last week you went camping and encountered a pack of wolves. If it weren't for you, Xiao Xi would probably be dead. You have no idea how scared I was when I heard about it. You have to stay for a meal today so that Auntie can express her gratitude." Lin Chen looked to Gu Yuexi for help, and Gu Yuexi said with a smile, "Everyone's off work. What could possibly happen? Have a meal before you leave."

Lin Chen was speechless. "I asked you to help, and you've made things worse."

Surrender and betray the enemy!
Since things had come to this point, Lin Chen could only agree: "Alright, Auntie, then I'll take my leave."

Bai Qian scolded him happily, "You silly child, why are you being so formal? From now on, just treat this place as your own home. Come over whenever you have time, and Auntie will cook you something delicious."

Bai Qian went into the kitchen to cook, and Lin Chen turned to stare at Gu Yuexi without saying a word.

Gu Yuexi felt a little embarrassed by the stares, so she naturally sat down next to Lin Chen and nudged his arm, saying, "Hey, just to show your gratitude. You still have to eat, so eat before you leave."

Lin Chen asked, "How did your mother know about the wolf pack? Did you tell her?"

Gu Yuexi shook her head: "Gao Xiaomin told her family, and her mother told my mother. I was scolded for it, for not telling them about such a big thing that happened."

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "Your dad knows too?"

Gu Yuexi leaned closer and asked with a smile, "Are you trying to ask me if my dad still objects to you being with me?"

Lin Chen was slightly embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed. He reached out and pushed Gu Yuexi's head away a little, saying, "Speak up if you have something to say. Why are you so close?"

Gu Yuexi chuckled: "You guessed right, didn't you? Feeling guilty, haha!"

Lin Chen was just asking subconsciously; he didn't really want to develop anything with Gu Yuexi, but that was indeed what he was thinking at the time.

"Why would I feel guilty? Do you believe I'll tell Auntie the truth right now?"

Gu Yuexi grabbed Lin Chen's arm and threatened in a fierce low voice, "You dare! If you dare to say it, I'll say you looked at my chest twice, and that you slept while holding me..."

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, there was a noise at the door, and Gu Hongtao walked in, holding several invitation cards in his hand.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Gu Hongtao paused, his gaze slightly complicated: "Lin Chen, you're here."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, the old man recovered very well after acupuncture. The frequency of acupuncture can be reduced to once a week."

Gu Yuexi pouted and changed the subject: "Dad, what are you holding?"

Gu Hongtao held up the invitation in his hand, his eyes shining with excitement: "Liu Zhenhao is in Pingjiang. He's hosting a banquet and sent me an invitation. Our whole family will go together."

Gu Yuexi asked in surprise, "Liu Zhenhao? Is he the real estate tycoon from Linhai City?"

Gu Hongtao nodded: "Yes, that's him."

Gu Yuexi blinked, then suddenly reached out and took Lin Chen's arm: "Lin Chen, can you come with us?"
