Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

The next morning, Gu Yan saw Jiang Qitian off. Before leaving, Jiang Qitian took out a New Year's gift that he had prepared long ago from his backpack.

"Sister Gu Yan, this is a gift I bought for you with the first money I earned with my own hands. It's very cheap, only 800 yuan. I hope you don't mind it."

Jiang Qitian was not wandering around during these days in Jinghai. It was only after coming to this place that he realized what it meant to look at the world from a narrow perspective. Fortunately, he was still young and had plenty of time to work hard for his future. The Jiang family would surely grow stronger in his hands.

Looking at the gift Jiang Qitian handed over, Gu Yan took it calmly. When she opened it, she saw a silver bracelet lying quietly there.

It is a very elegant shape, with the bamboo joints rising high, symbolizing that everything will go well.

"Xiaotian, thank you. You said you wouldn't contact me before the college entrance examination is over. So I promise you that I will wait for you when you come out of the examination room."

There is still a year and a half before the college entrance examination. By that time, perhaps both of them will have different mindsets and situations.

It was not until Jiang Qitian entered the terminal that Gu Yan calmed down and took a taxi back to the manor.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived, someone was already waiting for her in the manor.

"Madam, where have you been? I sent you a WeChat message, why didn't you reply?" It was An An. Why did she come back so early?

"Aren't you taking care of your aunt back home?"

Shen Anan took off her apron at this time: "My mother is much better now, and my family has returned to take care of her. I was thinking about you and my husband, and thought that you guys couldn't do without them, so I came back without stopping. Madam, how come you have lost so much weight in just a week!"

Facing An An who truly cared about her, Gu Yan felt a warm current flowing through her heart, and no one could refuse warmth.

"An'an, thank you."

"Ma'am, you're too polite. By the way, please sit down and try the mushroom soup I just made. This is a local specialty from my hometown, and you may not be able to buy it in Jinghai."

Because An An was there, Gu Yan did not spend this Spring Festival alone. However, every late night, she would still habitually open WeChat and look at He Li's profile picture in silence, wondering what had happened to him.

The New Year atmosphere continued until the Lantern Festival. Gu Yan and Shen Anan were making dumplings in the kitchen. After spending these days together, Shen Anan felt that she understood Gu Yan a little better.

Gu Yan’s favorite place to go these days is the library in Jinghai. Jinghai is a city with a strong economic, cultural and entertainment atmosphere. Gu Yan went to the largest library in Jinghai and read a lot of information about Jinghai’s history.

In modern society, more people get information through the Internet and social media, but Gu Yan prefers to explore the past of this city through books.

It has been more than a month since she came to Jinghai. During this period, Heli has always let her do what she wants.

He Li did not tell her anything about Haisheng Group, but Gu Yan could not sit idly by. If she wanted to take the initiative, she had to have enough knowledge.

Shen Anan was not bored hanging out in the library with Gu Yan. She was writing her novel skillfully on the first floor, while Gu Yan was shuttling back and forth on other floors.

There is not much information about Haisheng, but there is a lot of information about the He family.

The He Group has had a presence in Jinghai for at least a hundred years. The founder of the He family was one of the first pioneers to obtain foreign exchange. With courage and ambition, the He family took root and thrived in Jinghai.

By this generation, the four major families in Jinghai controlled the economic lifeline of the imperial capital. They were the He, Ye, Wu, and Xie families. They stood on equal footing and competed with each other, forming a situation of mutual checks and balances and mutual restraints.

However, Haisheng Group has emerged as a dark horse in recent years, growing rapidly and taking a lot of the cake from the four companies. Now Haisheng Group has become the newly emerging fifth largest force.

The information available in the library is limited. Gu Yan has collected and sorted a lot of information in the past few days, and finally has a preliminary understanding of the land under his feet.

As soon as the two left the library, An An received a WeChat message.

"Madam, Ah Da just sent me a WeChat message saying that Mr. He is on his way back to the manor."

Gu Yan was stunned, "Who is Ah Da?"

Shen Anan asked doubtfully, "Madam, don't you know? They are the three bodyguards who are usually responsible for the security of the manor, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San."

Why do these names sound so much like those of ordinary people?

"Is that really their name?"

Shen Anan nodded: "Yes, they are all orphans. After they entered society, it was Mr. He who gave them jobs."

So that's how it is. In Gu Yan's memory, those three people were the ones who stopped her from seeing He Li in Qingcheng. She always thought they were just ordinary bodyguards, but she didn't expect them to be a bunch of pitiful people.

"What about you? Why did you follow He Li?" In terms of age, Shen Anan is indeed too young to be a nanny. In fact, she can choose a more decent white-collar job.

"Actually, I met Mr. He together with them. We originally came to Jinghai because we thought there were more opportunities in big cities. But when we actually got here, we found it difficult to make a living. I only have a high school diploma and no skills. Apart from the most basic manual labor, I could only do some low-level jobs. At that time, my father was in poor health, so I could only work in bars because that was where the money was quick."

Gu Yan didn't expect that Shen Anan, who seemed optimistic and cheerful, actually had unknown pain.

"An An, I'm sorry, you don't have to say it."

Gu Yan doesn't like exposing other people's scars. No one is obligated to expose their pain to others.

Shen Anan smiled and shook her head: "Madam, you think too much. I didn't sell myself out. I work as a waiter. The reason I make money quickly is because I have a wine fee."

Gu Yan was speechless for a moment, but Shen Anan continued talking to herself.

"I remember it was about five years ago. I had been working as a waiter at a bar for about half a year. One day when I was taking out the trash, I met Mr. Crane."
