Dr. Su, let's have a love affair

Chapter 97 Sorry, I didn’t keep my position as CEO

Two days after Su Xiaoxiao left Haicheng with the medical team, it was also the day when Gu Jingzhou handed in the military order to the shareholders of Gu Group.

During this month, the Gu Group was frequently embroiled in scandals. Even though Gu Jingzhou had considerable business capabilities, he was unable to turn the tide and recover all of the losses suffered by the Gu Group.

In front of Gu Bodao and all the shareholders, he kept his word and voluntarily resigned from the position of president.

Gu Bodao actually wanted to protect him.

But he was unwilling to accept his father's favor, which made Gu Bodao very angry. He had to temporarily appoint an acting president and let his son leave the company for a while.

Xia Xueer had been waiting anxiously in the corridor outside the meeting room.

Seeing Gu Jingzhou come out alone, she hurried forward, grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Jingzhou, how did the shareholders' meeting go? With Uncle Gu here, you should be okay, right?"

"No arms or legs are broken, what else could happen?" Gu Jingzhou shook off Xia Xueer's hand indifferently, speaking nonchalantly.

"Then... your position as CEO is secured, right?"

It is said that true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, but what Gu Jingzhou saw on Xia Xueer's face was that snobbery is revealed in times of adversity.

The woman kept saying that she had liked him for more than ten years and had always wanted to marry him.

In fact, what he cares about most is his glamorous identity as the president of Gu Corporation.

Looking at her nervous and snobbish face, Gu Jingzhou felt that it was such a relief that he had lost his identity as the president of Gu Corporation today.

He couldn't help but sneer, "I'm sorry, I didn't keep my position as CEO. I wonder if Miss Xia still wants me to marry you?"

"What? Your dad was in there too, how could he not be saved? Jing Zhou, are you kidding me?"

"I'm going back to the office to pack up and leave the company. Do you think I still need to joke with you?" Gu Jingzhou said coldly and walked towards the president's office.

Xia Xueer followed in panicked, "Jingzhou, I don't believe it, how could this happen?"

"Xia Xue'er, let me tell you, ever since I walked out of the conference room, I'm no longer the CEO of Gu Corporation. I'm just a jobless pauper."

"Also, I don't plan to work for any company in the next few months. I just want to be a useless person who eats and waits for death."

"So, you'd better think carefully. Do you still want to be engaged to someone like me? If not, please don't bother me again in the future. I'm not in the mood for you."

"As for those photos, you can do whatever you want with them. They have no effect on me now!"

After saying this coldly to Xia Xueer, Gu Jingzhou began to pack up his personal belongings.

In fact, he didn't have anything to clean up.

Because apart from the pink nap pillow that he had asked He Bin to buy for Su Xiaoxiao, nothing else was important to him.

He put the nap pillow into the box, put a few personal belongings in it, and then carried the box to leave the office.

Xia Xueer stood there blankly watching him pack his things.

It was really hard for her to accept that Gu Jingzhou's position as president was lost just like that, and her position as the president's wife was gone just like that.

When Gu Jingzhou was about to reach the door, she grabbed his arm.

Still with a glimmer of hope, he asked with trembling lips: "Jingzhou, you will return to Gu's, right?"

Gu Jingzhou stopped and was silent for a moment before he replied calmly, "Maybe, but that will be five, ten, or twenty years from now. Who can say for sure?"

Five years, ten years, or twenty years?

She would be in her thirties or forties by then. Xia Xueer suddenly felt her heart sink and her body soften.

His hand involuntarily let go of Gu Jingzhou's arm.

Gu Jingzhou curled the corner of his lips sarcastically, then walked out of the office without looking back.

"Mr. Gu, are you really going to leave the company?"

As the president's assistant, He Bin's position would be in jeopardy if the president left. Moreover, although Gu Jingzhou looked stern, he had actually been very kind to him, so he really didn't want him to leave.

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Just keep working hard here."

After replying to He Bin lightly, Gu Jingzhou left Gu Group calmly but with a hint of tragedy under the gaze of He Bin and the staff of the President's Office.

After walking out of the group's gate, he looked back with complicated eyes, then drove back to Dongcheng Mansion.

Gu Jingyue told him two days ago that Su Xiaoxiao went to Yun Province with the medical team of Gu's Hospital and would not return to Haicheng for half a year.

She and the guy named Ji had just gotten married, but she was willing to be separated from him for half a year. Gu Jingzhou suspected that their marriage was probably a fake one.

Even if they really get married, their feelings will definitely not be deep.

He decided to go to Yunnan Province to teach for half a year and win back Su Xiaoxiao's heart.

He didn't believe that their childhood sweetheart relationship of more than ten years and being each other's first love could not compare to a man he had just met this year.

After going to Gu's Hospital to inquire about the name of the township hospital where the medical team would be going, and after contacting the teaching arrangements, Gu Jingzhou packed his luggage and resolutely set off for Yunnan Province.

In his carry-on luggage, in addition to a change of clothes, he also brought the pink nap pillow.

It was the only thing he had now that belonged to her.

Sitting on the train, looking at the scenery along the way, every moment of his time with Su Xiaoxiao over the past ten years came to his mind like scenes from a movie.

When Su Xiaoxiao was ten years old, she followed Su Aizhen to the Gu family. She was like a timid little rabbit at that time.

With her head lowered, her hands nervously clutching the corners of her clothes, she timidly called out his parents, uncle, and aunt, and then timidly called out his and Jingyue's names.

At that time, he just thought she was rustic and weak and didn't take her seriously.

However, the moment she raised her eyes, his gaze met hers clearly. Her eyes were so beautiful.

He had never seen such beautiful eyes.

And there is that teardrop mole, which seems to be born there, making her look like she has many stories hidden at such a young age, and making her look even more pitiful.

At that time, he had reached the age of falling in love for the first time, and he knew what love was.

He was sure that he had fallen in love with the little orphan girl and he wanted to protect her.

During the years when she was in school, there were actually boys in the school who liked her, but after he found out, he warned or beat them away behind her back.

From then on, no one dared to write her love letters or pursue her, and of course, no one dared to bully her.

He has been silently protecting her and waiting for her to grow up.

When she came of age, he couldn't wait to take her first kiss, wanting to officially mark her as his woman.

He thought that she would always be his obedient woman and enjoy their relationship as much as he did.

But I didn't expect that she had really grown up and had her own opinions.

Deep down, she is actually a girl with strong personality and dignity.

It was the inertia of him being stronger than her in their past relationships that made him ignore her feelings and her psychological changes, thus pushing her to someone else.

Thinking back on all these sad things, Gu Jingzhou was filled with regret.

I silently gazed at the scenery passing by outside the car window, and a layer of sadness filled my eyes.
