On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

After the meeting, several veteran shareholders who had been on the sidelines or even looked down on Gu Wan stopped for a moment, took the initiative to exchange a few words with her, and their tone was obviously approving.

"Mr. Gu is young and promising. If Mr. Nangong knew about this, he would definitely be pleased." "I think the follow-up plan has great potential. As for the details, we can arrange another time to discuss it in detail."

Even Director Zhao, who had obviously had a close relationship with Liang Heng before, smiled and nodded to Gu Wan. Although he didn't say much, his attitude was different.

These subtle changes, like sharp thorns, pierced into the heart of Liang Heng, who was sitting nearby and trying hard to maintain a gentle smile.

He watched Gu Wan handle those old foxes with ease, watched the balance of power gradually tilt among the shareholders who had once pledged their support for him, and watched the always mysterious major shareholder. Even though he hadn't publicly stated his position, his very presence was a powerful deterrent. The faint cough he made when others deliberately gave Gu Wan trouble...

A cold panic instantly gripped Liang Heng's heart.

He had originally hoped that Gu Wan, a woman who had never been involved in core business, would give up under the numerous difficulties, or at least make a mess, giving him an opportunity to take advantage. But he never expected that she would gain a foothold so quickly and even win people's hearts!

If this continues, everything he has carefully planned for so many years will really come to nothing! He can't let go of the Nangong family's property and Gu Wan!

Absolutely not!

The smile on Liang Heng's face was almost frozen and shattered. He tried to hide the sinister look in his eyes by straightening his suit.

marry.

Must get married as soon as possible!

Only by tying her firmly to his side through marriage, and as her husband, could he legitimately intervene and even take over all this. Otherwise, he would really lose both his wife and his money, and lose everything!

The meeting ended and the crowd thinned out. Liang Heng took a deep breath, put on his gentle and affectionate mask again, and walked towards Gu Wan, who was sorting documents.

"Wanwan, let's have dinner together tonight? It's time for us to have a good talk about our future." His voice was as gentle as ever, but with a hint of imperceptible urgency.

"Okay." Gu Wan accepted Liang Heng's dinner invitation.

This was not out of anticipation for a romantic night, but rather stemmed from the suspicion and vigilance that had been growing in her heart recently and could not be ignored.

She has gradually discovered and secretly collected some clues, suggesting that Liang Heng, her mentor and friend, is secretly shorting the company and damaging the interests of the group.

Although Gu Wan was extremely resistant to this idea in her heart - Liang Heng was not only her master who had taught her everything he knew in the six years since she entered the construction industry, but also her mother Nangong Xuan's most respected and proud student - but the cold chain of evidence gradually emerged, and she had no choice but to believe it.

She discovered that the most crucial evidence was locked in Liang Heng's personal safe. The only way to get the crucial documents was to get close to him and deepen their relationship.

That night, Liang Heng booked a large restaurant in the Pearl Hotel and arranged a candlelight dinner. The melodious band music added to the luxurious atmosphere. His intentions were self-evident. As Gu Wan was mechanically savoring the steak on the plate, Liang Heng suddenly knelt on one knee and pulled out a dazzling engagement diamond ring.

"Wanwan, marry me." He looked at her affectionately.

Gu Wan's heart trembled, and he subconsciously picked up the red wine glass, using the action of sipping to hide the shock and discomfort in his heart.

His eyes swept across the ring, then quickly passed over Liang Heng's expectant face. In a flash, a thought took over: this was the best opportunity to get close to the safe.

She suppressed her surging emotions, forced herself to smile a little hastily, and reached out to take the velvet ring box.

"Okay." She heard her own voice say, calm and strange.

Liang Heng's eyes suddenly flashed with ecstasy: "Wanwan!" He stood up suddenly and couldn't wait to hug Gu Wan tightly in his arms, with such strength that she almost suffocated.

This scene fell precisely into the eyes of the people in the distant corner who were sent by Si Yehan to monitor Liang Heng.

Just when Liang Heng excitedly wanted to kiss the person in his arms, Gu Wan cleverly turned her head away and made an excuse: "Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable and need to go to the bathroom." She gently pushed him away and turned to escape from the suffocating embrace.

When she came back from the bathroom, Liang Heng couldn't wait to start planning: "Great! Then I'll accompany you to choose a wedding dress tomorrow..."

"I have a very important meeting tomorrow," Gu Wan interrupted him, her tone uncompromising, "Just go and choose." She had to control the pace and minimize unnecessary contact, especially in such a public occasion that could easily arouse people's imagination.

A look of obvious disappointment crossed Liang Heng's face. Gu Wan calmly cut into the steak and casually suggested, "I'll come to your house tomorrow night as soon as I finish my work at the company."

This sentence truly ignited Liang Heng's excitement. All his disappointment vanished, replaced by endless reverie. "Okay!" He agreed hastily, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Gu Wan could only respond with an extremely short, almost stiff smile.

And every word of their conversation was clearly captured by the person in the dark, and transmitted back to Si Yehan's ears in real time without any loss.

The next day, the night was as dark as ink, and the lights in the company building had long since faded. Gu Wan rubbed her sore neck, pressed her fingertips against her stiff shoulder blades, and let out a long sigh. The numbers in the lower right corner of the computer screen jumped to 21:43, and she had finally finished reviewing the last report.

Just as she stretched her arms, trying to dispel her fatigue, her cell phone suddenly vibrated, and the name that she was both familiar with and resisted appeared on the screen - Liang Heng.

She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Master." There was an imperceptible hesitation in his voice.

Liang Heng's smiling and scolding voice came from the other end of the phone: "Why are you still calling me Master? We are getting married tomorrow, you should change your words by now, right?" His voice was gentle, but like an invisible rope, quietly tightening.

Gu Wan felt a little dry in her throat. After a pause, she squeezed out two words in a low voice: "...Husband!"

This sound seemed to please Liang Heng. He was instantly overjoyed and his voice became excited: "Are you done? I'll pick you up when you're done..."

"I'm done," Gu Wan interrupted him, speaking a little faster, "I drove and will be there in a while." She needed this time to be alone on the road, this brief gap where no one would notice her.

"Okay," Liang Heng's voice was filled with anticipation and satisfaction, "Then I'll wait for you at home."
