Gu Wei is beautiful, but Yan Yu's girlfriend isn't just beautiful.

Does this woman think that just because she's pretty enough, she can get close to the second young master of the Yan family?

They really think he's a fool.

Yan Yu felt a sense of being looked down upon, which angered him. He added, "If you don't want money, then get out. There's a limit to wishful thinking."

Gu Wei wasn't embarrassed by his sarcasm; instead, she laughed and said, "What if I told you I could bring you some benefits?"

"You?" Yan Yu glanced at her disdainfully.

“I know you came here to discuss a business deal with Mr. Chen of the Liang family. You’ve put a lot of effort into this deal, but Mr. Chen just won’t budge.”

Yan Yu found it strange that a mere waitress would know these things, and his eyes immediately became wary. He stared at her without saying a word.

"I know you doubt me. You think it's strange that a lowly waiter would know these things, right?"

"But what if I told you that Mr. Chen is interested in me?"

Yan Yu raised an eyebrow. "You mean, President Chen told you all these things while he was pursuing you?"

Gu Wei admitted, "He not only told me, but also told me why he was hesitant to agree. He said, 'If you're willing to let me be your girlfriend, I'll tell you.'"

Yan Yu became somewhat interested when she heard her say that.

This woman immediately declared that she wanted to be his girlfriend, so of course he couldn't possibly think it was because she loved him.

I believe it's more about self-interest than love.

After all, he's very rich.

Although Mr. Chen is wealthy and this woman could live a comfortable life with him, the fact that she found him means she is not satisfied with Mr. Chen's money and wants more.

Yan Yu wasn't annoyed by her behavior. He was a businessman, and as long as it was beneficial to him, he could greet even the most annoying person with a smile, let alone this woman in front of him whom he didn't dislike.

Admittedly, she was very ambitious, but he liked it when others were ambitious.

Business people like them aren't afraid of others having flaws; they're afraid of others having no flaws at all.

If they have no flaws, how can Yan Yu cater to their preferences?

The requirement of being his girlfriend isn't exactly a huge one, but it's not insignificant either.

To put it bluntly, the title of "girlfriend" has neither any binding power nor any control over the relationship; he can take it back whenever he wants.

To be honest, he is still the second young master of the Yan family. If he were to find a girlfriend who is not presentable, it would inevitably become the subject of gossip.

However, the benefits of closing this deal were far more important than his reputation, so Yan Yu was already tempted by her proposal.

But while he was tempted, he couldn't give in until he figured out why this woman was so insistent on being his girlfriend.

Yan Yu smiled and asked, "My girlfriend title can't compare to President Chen's money, can it?"

Gu Wei stood up from the ground and patted her numb legs. "This title can't directly bring me wealth, but it can help me develop more wealth."

Yan Yu watched her every move. "You mean, you want my connections?"

“That’s right,” Gu Wei said frankly. “It’s really too difficult for someone like me who doesn’t belong to your social class to expand my network of contacts. But if I could become your girlfriend, there would be plenty of people who would try to curry favor with me because of you.”

Do you enjoy the thrill of being fawned over?

Gu Wei shook her head. "While I'm your girlfriend, they naturally wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me. But what if I'm no longer your girlfriend?"

Yan Yu pondered for a moment and understood what she meant.

If Gu Wei is no longer his girlfriend, then that group of people might target her, and might even look at her differently because she used to be his girlfriend.

Ultimately, this woman wanted to use him to raise her own value.

Yan Yu asked, "How long will it take?"

Gu Wei knew he had agreed. "One month."

Yan Yu was somewhat surprised by the time limit she requested; he had thought she would ask for an exorbitant amount.

After all, expanding one's network is not a goal that can be achieved in a year or two, let alone in just one month.

In a month, she could very well lose everything.

He was somewhat doubtful whether this seemingly shrewd woman was truly shrewd or just pretending. "Is a month enough?"

Gu Wei sensed his probing intent and replied, "Not enough, but I think you'll take the initiative to ask me to continue being your girlfriend in a month."

She smiled again, "I think you're not satisfied with just getting this business deal from Mr. Chen."

Yan Yu has to admit she's very smart.

If Gu Wei can truly help his business, then he will indeed, as she said, actively ask her to continue using his girlfriend's name to make money.

However, even if she can't, he only needs a month to get rid of her, so no matter how you look at it, he won't lose out.

So he agreed to the deal.

Gu Wei certainly lived up to her self-confidence; she did indeed help him complete many difficult business deals.

Yan Yu never asked her how she managed to do it.

Although they were officially a couple, they actually had no contact outside of work.

Gu Wei has her own path to walk, and he has his own path to walk.

He wouldn't interfere with her decisions, nor would he let her interfere with his.

Yan Yu never expected that she would actually reach out to Yan Su.

But he knew Yan Su wouldn't let her succeed, because Yan Su wasn't stupid either.

So he never took it to heart.

But since Gu Wei dared to lay a hand on Yan Su, Yan Yu couldn't let it go so easily.

Because they are in a cooperative relationship, cooperation means equality.

Her hitting Yan Su was tantamount to stepping on his face.

Although he made a few sarcastic remarks about Yan Su that day, he had actually already decided to part ways with Gu Wei.

It wasn't just because she stepped on his face, but also because anyone who dared to lay a hand on his brother had to pay the price.

Of course, he wouldn't go so far as to completely destroy her as Yan Mo implied in his words.

Considering how many tough challenges she had helped him overcome, he only intended to end the deal with her.

Without the title of his girlfriend, it would indeed be difficult for her to continue climbing the social ladder.

Cutting off her path to further advancement was also a form of punishment for her.

So that very evening, he drove to Gu Wei's villa, intending to confront her.

When he arrived at the villa that day, he saw Gu Wei squatting at the door, doing something.

He stopped the car, and the sound of locking it startled Gu Wei. When she turned around and saw it was him, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
