After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

I peeked through the crack in the door. Lin Nan had her back to the door, so I couldn't see the emotions on her face.

All I heard was her impatient voice: "Yichen, why do you insist on keeping Gu Mo at the company? She won't let you continue anything; she'll only hold you back."

Knowing that Lin Nan had always looked down on me, I felt no emotion upon hearing these words.

Jiang Yichen said in a serious voice, "I have my own plans, you don't need to interfere in these matters."

Actually, I also want to know why Jiang Yichen keeps me at the company.

Lin Nan became increasingly dissatisfied upon hearing Jiang Yichen's refusal.

"Why? She's a complete waste of space. Can't you tell what's important? Do you really want her to affect so many of the company's interests? I think you're completely confused."

Jiang Yichen's expression remained unchanged despite Lin Nan's complaints.

He lowered his eyes, his pupils dark.

After a long pause, he said softly, "Lin Nan."

"I bear some responsibility for the Gu family's bankruptcy."

Lin Nan fell silent instantly.

Upon hearing that sound, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, and my body began to tremble uncontrollably.

I never expected to hear Jiang Yichen admit that it was related to the Gu family's bankruptcy under such a coincidence.

Was the Gu family's bankruptcy really his doing?

Thinking back on everything that had happened, I couldn't control my emotions.

I stood there, took a deep breath, and placed my hand on the doorknob.

I want to confront him face to face!

But the next second, Lao Mo suddenly appeared and pulled me over.

Seeing him surprised me, but I still wanted to barge into the office.

Perhaps sensing my intention, Lao Mo pulled me away without a second thought.

After walking a little further away, he frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you to deliver the reports? Why did you end up in President Jiang's office?"

Not wanting Lao Mo to know my true intentions, I made up a reason: "I heard them discussing my punishment inside, so I stopped and listened for a while."

After hearing my explanation, Lao Mo simply comforted me, "Don't worry too much. You didn't break the contract, so even if there is a punishment, it won't be too severe."

He then added, "Now that you have a fan base and popularity, you can try to get other underwear endorsements in Tongcheng as well, so you can earn more money."

Hearing this, I was even more pleasantly surprised.

If that's the case, paying off the Gu family's debts will be just around the corner.

But the next second, the photos she took with the male model suddenly popped into her mind.

The issue of underwear endorsements hasn't been resolved yet, and I'm blindly accepting endorsements, not knowing I might get scammed again.

The current situation doesn't allow me to take another gamble.

After hesitating for a while, I slowly voiced my concerns: "Are those endorsements all legitimate? I'm afraid I'll be set up again, just like before."

Old Mo suddenly patted my shoulder and assured me, "Don't worry, I'll help you filter out the bad ones and make sure that all the endorsements you get are for civilized companies. There won't be any more shady dealings."

Looking at his serious face, I was somewhat moved.

Perhaps seeing that I was still hesitant, he added a few more words: "The lingerie brands that are coming to you now are choosing to cooperate because they see your current popularity."

I was still a little hesitant: "But a lot of people are criticizing me right now, can I really boost sales?"

Lao Mo explained, "As long as you gain recognition, it doesn't matter whether people praise or criticize you, people will still buy your products."

After thinking for a moment, I decided to accept the endorsement: "Okay, I'll trouble you to help me select the partners."

Just like Lao Mo said, being infamous is still being famous, and if I become famous, I can make money.

People can't be so concerned with saving face and dignity that they don't even care about money.

This is better than doing a live stream in your underwear.

Old Mo patted his chest and assured me, "With me here, you can rest assured."

Lao Mo immediately did background checks on my business partners.

Among many potential partners, he helped me choose an established brand with a good reputation.

So, I went to work as usual during the day, and then took time out at night to shoot lingerie photos for endorsements.

Unlike last time, Lao Mo personally accompanied me to the filming location.

I don't know if it was because he was there, but the filming went very smoothly and no one on set gave me any trouble.

After I finished taking lingerie photos, Lao Mo and I parted ways.

I'm waiting for the bus to go home at the bus stop outside.

However, not long after, a car suddenly stopped in front of me.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing two familiar faces.

It's them again?

It's like it was all preordained; I can never escape the two of them.

Lin Nan looked me up and down at the bus stop, then said, “Gu Mo, you really are a leopard that can’t change its spots. You’re doing this lingerie endorsement again.”

I was somewhat shocked.

Lin Nan actually knew what I was doing.

She smiled dismissively: "Don't be surprised. As a company employee, I know everything you do and say."

I don't intend to argue with her; I'll just pretend I didn't hear it.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Lin Nan frowned slightly, somewhat displeased: "Don't expect us to clean up your mess..."

Hearing her insults and sarcasm, I couldn't help but look up at the man in the driver's seat.

Jiang Yichen's expression was indifferent, clearly indicating that he had no intention of interfering.

When Lin Nan saw my gaze fall on Jiang Yichen, her words became even harsher.

I was so angry, this was the last straw!

I put my hands on my hips and snapped at her, "Lin Nan, I don't think it's wrong to earn money through your own abilities."

She lives a carefree and simple life, so naturally she can't understand what kind of life I'm living now.

Seeing that I spoke up, Lin Nan's sarcasm became even more forceful: "Nobody cares how low you stoop, but before you do these things, think about whether they will cause trouble for others."

Her words shut me down, leaving me speechless.

In fact, I did cause Jiang Yichen a lot of trouble.

The next day.

The company suddenly called a routine meeting, and the meeting was chaired by Lin Nan.

"President Jiang is busy today, so I will chair the meeting."

As she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to me and deliberately pointed out: "Recently, the company has discovered that some of our streamers aren't really focused on streaming; instead, they've started doing side hustles."

Even though Lin Nan didn't name names, I knew she was talking about me.

Lin Nan slowly withdrew her gaze, her tone becoming increasingly sarcastic: "The company doesn't stop you from having side jobs, but we also hope that you won't do anything shameful or extremely humiliating."

Lin Nan's gaze fell on me, and she raised an eyebrow, nodding, "Gu Mo, don't you think so?"

I knew exactly what she meant, and thinking about what happened yesterday, I stood up immediately.

Faced with my actions, Lin Nan showed a fleeting surprise, but more than that, disdain: "What? Do you think it's wrong?"

I didn't intend to engage with her and stated directly, "It hasn't affected my work. I'm just doing a side job after work. There's no explicit prohibition in the contract, so whatever I do has nothing to do with the company."

Seeing my rebuttal, Lin Nan gave a cold laugh and said, "What you do is none of the company's business, but because your company's reputation has been damaged, you should bear the responsibility."

I am aware that I am in the wrong on this matter.

Lin Nan seized on my momentary hesitation and directly mocked me, "Gu Mo, although your live stream traffic is good, your monetization ability is really poor, and you can't bring any effective benefits to the company at all."

Upon hearing this, I retorted directly: "My monetization ability is indeed not as good as other streamers, but I am also working hard to achieve it."
