On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!
Chapter 42 Work is hindered
Su Chenxi stomped her foot in anger, biting her red lips as she recalled what she had said to Xia Xiaomeng last night.
Suddenly, his face flushed. So, he heard Xia Xiaomeng say that she was pursuing Gu Heting? No wonder he was so angry when Gu Heting was mentioned last night.
Wait a minute! Why is he angry? They only have a one-year engagement.
Unable to figure it out, Su Chenxi held the burning black card and decided to go back upstairs and hide it properly. She absolutely dared not carry it on her person, otherwise, she would become the kidnappers' target.
After returning from the master bedroom on the third floor to the living room, Su Chenxi began to seriously study the wedding arrangements.
Since the old lady was willing to hold a wedding for them, she couldn't go against her wishes and had to take it seriously.
The venue and style of the wedding were finalized in a day. Su Chenxi chose blue as the main color scheme. As for the venue, the old lady made the decision: a seven-star hotel in the city center.
Finally, an auspicious and joyous date was chosen: the 15th of next month.
With just one month to prepare, the wedding planning company will cancel all other business to dedicate themselves to creating this romantic, once-in-a-lifetime wedding for them.
The old lady even declared to the wedding company that money was no object, and that they absolutely had to satisfy her granddaughter-in-law.
Su Chenxi felt the old lady's affection for her and was deeply moved. Even her mother had never loved her wholeheartedly, but the old lady gave her this feeling of being cherished and pampered.
On Monday, the old lady accompanied her to look at wedding dresses. On Tuesday, the old lady personally picked out the wedding jewelry for her from the jewelry cabinet of the Shen Foundation. On Wednesday, Su Chenxi went to work.
The meeting started at ten o'clock, and she sat in the conference room listening to the reports from various departments.
"Second Young Madam, regarding the jewelry we reported to you last time, the First Madam said she would return it before the New Year, and Mrs. Li has already returned it. We haven't been able to contact the First Madam of the Gu family, and we don't want to rush her too much, but we need to ship this set of jewelry to the M country for an exhibition next week, so we must get it back as soon as possible."
Su Chenxi asked, "Why can't we get in touch with Mrs. Gu? Have you been able to contact anyone around her?"
"Mrs. Gu and our first wife have always been on good terms, but we're probably not entirely sure why," the marketing manager said with a double entendre.
Su Chenxi understood that Zhu Ying was probably causing trouble and deliberately making things difficult for her work.
One of the female group leaders mustered up her courage and spoke up, "Second Young Madam, I heard that you have a good relationship with the eldest young master of the Gu family. Could you please ask him to help you make contact?"
Everyone else looked at Su Chenxi with anticipation, because they really couldn't find the eldest wife of the Gu family. The necklace was about to be exhibited, and they had to get it back as soon as possible.
Su Chenxi's face flushed. It seemed that Shen Yanchuan hadn't dealt with that scandal quickly enough last time; those who needed to know already knew.
"Yes, young mistress! You just need to ask Young Master Gu to tell her where the First Madam is, or just pass on a message to her."
"Given our status, we simply cannot find the whereabouts of the First Madam. Moreover, she and the First Madam of the Shen family are like sisters. Our company is truly at a loss."
Su Chenxi thought that participating in the exhibition was a big deal and could not be affected. Zhu Ying and the eldest wife of the Gu family had a good relationship. If they colluded to not return the necklace, wouldn't that hinder her work?
She promised the old lady that she would take good care of the Shen Foundation; she couldn't possibly fail at the very first important matter!
Moreover, all she had to do was contact Gu Heting to ask him to pass on a message. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try. Wait for my news!"
"That's great! With the Second Young Mistress involved, things will definitely get done."
Su Chenxi returned to her office. Looking at her phone, she hesitated for a long time before daring to dial Gu Heting's number.
Sigh! The rumors about us last time must have had a big impact on him, since he's still single.
Su Chenxi kept putting it off, from morning until afternoon. When it was almost time to leave work, she finally couldn't put it off any longer and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to dial Gu Heting's number.
"Hello! Who is this?" Gu Heting's deep voice asked from the other end.
Su Chenxi changed her phone number after returning to China, so the other party didn't know it was her.
"Ahem! Young Master Gu, it's me, Su Chenxi."
"Chenxi, it's you! Is this your new number?" Gu Heting smiled gently on the other end.
"Yes, this is the new number I got after returning to China. Are you busy? There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"No need to be so polite. Just tell me what you need, and I'll definitely help if I can," Gu Heting said readily.
Su Chenxi explained directly, "It's like this, your aunt borrowed a set of jewelry, and the return period of three months has expired. Now this set of jewelry is about to be sent to the United States for an exhibition, but I can't find her right now. Could you please let me know?"
“It concerns your work, so I’d be happy to help. How about this? Tonight, our Gu family is hosting a private dinner, and my aunt will be there too. Why don’t you come over and explain the situation to her in person?” Gu Heting said.
Su Chenxi was startled, but she realized that she had to go over and explain the situation in person. Otherwise, offending Mrs. Gu would affect the future development of the Shen Foundation. She had to speak to her politely.
"Really? That's wonderful, thank you. I'll go and explain the situation to Mrs. Gu myself." Su Chenxi agreed.
"When did you become so polite to me? You're even calling me 'you' now?" Gu Heting chuckled from the other end of the line.
Su Chenxi blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "You are my big customer. The customer is God, so it's only right that I address you like this."
"No need, let's just call each other equals! I prefer that." After saying that, Gu Heting added, "I'll pick you up at your company entrance at six o'clock."
"No need, no need. Just send me the address, and I'll drive over myself." Su Chenxi didn't dare trouble him.
“That’s fine. Given your status, you should indeed avoid suspicion.” Gu Heting understood her.
A short while later, Su Chenxi received the banquet address from Gu Heting and immediately called over the public relations manager, "Manager Wu, please come with me!"
"Yes, Second Young Mistress."
At six o'clock, Su Chenxi set off in Manager Wu's car. On the way, Manager Wu explained to her in detail Mrs. Gu's personality traits and her way of doing things.
She's definitely not a easy person to deal with.
Su Chenxi carefully noted it down. She wasn't good at negotiating, so she had to be on her guard tonight.
At the entrance of the hotel under the Gu family's name, Manager Wu went to park the car. Just then, Su Chenxi's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Shen Yanchuan calling. Her heart skipped a beat. Had he returned from his business trip?
Su Chenxi didn't dare not answer, and replied with a smile, "Hello! Have you returned to China?"
"where?"
"Oh! I...I'm having dinner with friends, I'll be home later," Su Chenxi lied, knowing she couldn't tell this guy, otherwise he'd misunderstand again.
Besides, she really only came for work, not to have a private date with Gu Heting or anything.
"What time will you be back?"
"Around nine o'clock."
"Okay!" The other end hung up.
Su Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally gotten away with it. She had to leave immediately after getting the necklace tonight.
Su Chenxi sent a message to Gu Heting, "Young Master Gu, I'm at the door."
After Manager Wu arrived, an assistant came downstairs and invited them to the banquet hall. Tonight's banquet was a private event for the Gu family. Gu Heting walked over in a handsome and elegant suit. He and Shen Yanchuan were two very different types of handsome men.
Shen Yanchuan has a cold and aloof personality, and is a very distant person. He is a cold and aloof type, while Gu Heting has a gentle and polite personality. He is a mild-mannered type.
"Chenxi, you've arrived." He greeted her with a smile.
"Young Master Gu, hello, this is Manager Wu from our Public Relations Department," Su Chenxi introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Gu." Manager Wu greeted him respectfully.
Gu Heting glanced around and saw his aunt chatting with a group of ladies. He leaned closer and said, "Chenxi, I'll ask my aunt to meet you in the lounge later. It's too crowded here to talk."
"Understood." Su Chenxi nodded, also mindful of Madam Gu's feelings.
"Have a drink first," Gu Heting said.
Su Chenxi and Manager Wu took a glass of wine and found a corner to wait.
Zhou Youchen walked in at the foundation. He had informed Su Chenxi's assistant, Momi, beforehand that he would send over a document for Su Chenxi to sign first thing tomorrow morning.
Zhou Youchen put the folder into the list of documents that Mo Mi was supposed to deliver the next morning. He instructed her, "Assistant Mo, when the second young mistress is signing this document, try to distract her and don't let her look at it carefully."
Momi nodded. "Understood."
"This is very important to the second young master, you must handle it properly," Zhou Youchen instructed.
Momi glanced at it just now, and it said "Supplementary Agreement to Divorce Contract" on it. It was indeed very important.
"Assistant Zhou, could it be that the second young master and second young mistress are having relationship problems?" Mo Mi asked, pleadingly.
“Of course there’s no problem, we get along great!” Zhou Youchen replied.
Momi thought for a moment and said, "Assistant Zhou, please have the second young master personally pick up the second young mistress later! The second young mistress went to the Gu Group's private dinner tonight to meet the Gu family's first wife, so it's best not to cause any misunderstandings."
Zhou Youchen was shocked. What? The second young mistress is so bold? She met with that young master from the Gu family again while the second young master was away on a business trip?
"Okay, thank you, Assistant Mo." Zhou Youchen said, then glanced at the document again before turning to leave.
After all, this was something Shen Yanchuan wanted Su Chenxi to sign without her knowledge.
Zhou Youchen opened the driver's side door and got in. In the back seat, an elegant and handsome figure leaned back lazily and asked casually, "Has everything been explained?"
“It’s all been explained. Tomorrow, the second young mistress will sign this contract without knowing anything,” Zhou Youchen said. Then, after thinking for a moment, he turned around and asked, “Second young master, do you know where the second young mistress is right now?”
"She went to have dinner with her friends."
“I just overheard her assistant mention that the second young mistress went to a private dinner at the Gu Group. Second young master, would you like to go and pick her up and take her home yourself?” Zhou Youchen asked.
The man, who was resting with his eyes half-closed, suddenly opened them, his gaze gleaming with cold light.
"What did you say?"
