Mr. Gu, who is never late even on holidays, is unusually absent today.

The atmosphere at the Gu family home instantly became warm and welcoming, with everyone wearing smiles, a stark contrast to the serious and earnest demeanor when Gu Jing was present.

The department directors were used to it.

"Director Zhao, what are you doing? Ordering takeout is not allowed in the office."

"Director Li, I saw you sneaking a spicy snack in your office this morning."

"We're both equally bad, so neither of us should criticize the other."

"Look at these employees, so energetic and youthful. Seeing them makes me want to discuss another project."

"Okay, then this project is yours." Director Li handed Director Zhao a thick stack of documents.

"I was just kidding, take your time eating." With that, he dashed off.

City B Police Department.

"Gu Ze, do you still remember the disappearance case from two years ago?"

A middle-aged man sat in the police station office, his expression serious.

"I remember it caused quite a stir at the time. All the missing people disappeared at night without leaving any trace."

Gu Ze recalled that at that time he was a newcomer who had just joined the company, and he was not capable enough to handle such a big case.

"What's wrong? Have you made a new discovery?"

Gu Ze was secretly delighted. In the past two years, Gu Ze had come into contact with a lot and grown a lot. He urgently needed experience to hone himself.

He became a policeman simply because he loved it. He had loved the profession since he was a child, and combined with his physical abilities and personality, he was admitted to the military academy he liked.

His parents initially disagreed, but they couldn't resist Gu Ze's stubbornness and his insistence on becoming a policeman, so they let him have his way.

Therefore, the two handed over full control of the company to Gu Jing, but left a portion of the shares for Gu Ze.

"There is still no progress. The investigation team has found nothing, and nothing was left at the scene. It's just that this case has recently been dug up online, and a bunch of netizens are analyzing the truth."

"They say we failed in our duties, that we haven't uncovered the truth after all these years, and that we're covering it up."

"They've been pressuring us a lot these past few days." He looked exhausted and sighed.

"Pay close attention to cases like this in the next few days and see if there are any similar ones."

"Okay, Director, you should also take more rest."

Gu Ze came out and happened to see Fu Qing, who had come to pick him up.

"Oh, Captain Gu has finally come out. The little girl has been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Xiao Wang, stop teasing me. I'm leaving now."

"Alright, alright, go keep your girlfriend company."

"Shall I take you home?" Gu Zexian asked.

We've been together for over a month, but he's still a little shy and doesn't know what to say.

"I want to go get some barbecue, do you want to come?"

"Okay, then I'll go with you for barbecue." Gu Ze grabbed Fu Qing's hand and ran towards the famous night market stall.

Do you want to eat this?

"eat."

"Auntie, give me two skewers of this, and two skewers of that too, and two skewers of this and that as well."

"Okay, young man, Auntie will give you another skewer of these to make it exactly 100 yuan."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Gu Ze acts like a primary school student when buying things, calling the auntie "Auntie" repeatedly, which makes the auntie very happy.

They even gave us two wraps as a last resort.

"I wonder how these taste? Why don't you try them and see if you like them?"

Fu Qing took the lamb skewer, took a bite, and then nodded, "It's alright, you should try some too."

"it is good."

Perhaps Gu Ze was too naive. When Fu Qing first brought him here, he looked completely bewildered, as if he had never seen these things before.

This is the second time I've come here. I brought him to try different flavors. Having a boyfriend is like raising a son. When we first met, I dared to ask him if he had a boyfriend. Only after we got together did I realize that he knew nothing about relationships.

She spoils her own boyfriend and is happy to teach him.

"elder brother?"

Shen Qingqing was biting the meat in Gu Jing's hand when she heard a familiar voice.

"Gu Ze?"

"Hello, Sister-in-law Shen."

Shen Qingqing ignored him and continued eating by herself.

Fu Qing knew about his relationship with Shen Qingqing. Gu Ze talked to her a lot about Shen Qingqing on the first day they got together. However, as a woman, she could still immediately see through Shen Qingqing's feelings.

Feelings can't be forced. She thought that Shen Qingqing would make things difficult for her if Gu Ze brought him home, but she didn't expect that she was just being petty and judging him by her own standards.

Gu Ze said that Shen Qingqing seemed to have changed, and in his opinion, she must have let go.

The only thing she didn't expect was that her boyfriend's family was so rich.

"Brother, why are you here too?"

"Qingqing is hungry, I brought her here to get something to eat."

"Brother, don't you never eat these things?"

Having grown up together, Gu Ze was well aware of his older brother's exacting standards when it came to food.

His family had gone through several chefs for his older brother. Because of this, his parents even invited a large group of people to participate in a cooking competition. In the end, his older brother agreed to stay and become the family chef.

He was greatly shocked by his brother's eating at a food stall.

"Qingqing loves to eat."

Upon hearing Shen Qingqing's name, Gu Ze glanced at her again.

"What are you looking at? This is mine."

"..."

He always felt that Shen Qingqing had become a different person ever since she came to the Gu family.

Who could understand that for Shen Qingqing, a college student at that time, her only joy was going on a shopping spree at the food street at 11 p.m.?

Some people didn't understand her behavior before, saying that eating carbohydrates in the middle of the night would make her fat, but Shen Qingqing has a constitution that prevents her from gaining weight.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Gu Jing." Fu Qing greeted the two politely.

Shen Qingqing nodded, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"We'll be leaving now, so we won't disturb your time together."

Shen Qingqing pulled Gu Jing into the next food street.

For the past year, Shen Qingqing has always suddenly wanted to eat something in the middle of the night, so Gu Jing has always accompanied her. She can't remember the way, but she is very familiar with the snack streets near her home.

"You see? My brother, I still don't know why my brother fell in love with Shen Qingqing. Logically speaking, they've hardly ever met."

"Could it be love at first sight?"

“My brother has seen all kinds of people, there are plenty of people prettier than her, I just don’t believe in love at first sight.”

“I always felt that she had some ulterior motive for getting close to my brother.”

"Alright, stop thinking about it. You're out having fun, why are you being so suspicious?" Fu Qing tapped his head twice.

"Okay, what else would you like to eat? I'll take you there."

I'm happier with my girlfriend than with Shen Qingqing.

Fu Group.

"Mr. Fu, Mr. Gu is currently strolling through the food street with his wife."

"Our dignified CEO Gu is actually strolling through a food street, isn't that interesting?" Fu Zheng gripped his wine glass tightly.

Crack – The wine glass shattered.

The person next to him immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped away the bright red wine stains.

"President Gu really isn't afraid at all. He's taken so many of our projects, yet he can still come out and have fun in his spare time."

The people beside him stood motionless, and none of them spoke.

"I couldn't do anything about it before, since everyone knows that President Gu is crazy, but now..."

Fu Zheng took a photo out of his pocket and threw it on the table.

"Hire some reckless people, and find a smart one to help you come up with a solution. We'll play along with President Gu."

They picked up the photos from the table, bowed, and left.

"Oh, by the way, don't hurt Madam Gu. I only care about the results. If you fail, don't come back."

Fu Zheng smiled, stood up, picked up another glass of red wine, and walked to the French windows.

"I'm really looking forward to this show."

Outside, the bustling metropolis, the crowds, and the rows of well-arranged high-rise buildings—this is the life of the wealthy.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and Shen Qingqing got out of bed at around eight o'clock.

The sun must have risen in the west today, you're up so early!

If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all.

[By the way, host, you've been here for so long, haven't you considered doing any missions?]

I don't want to kill him, I won't do this mission.

【why? 】

There's no reason why.

Shen Qingqing sat up in bed, got up and went to the bathroom, picked up her toothbrush and looked at herself in the mirror.

"My lip is sore again, Gu Jing!"

[Host, you haven't fallen for him, have you?]

Shen Qingqing, who had just been angry, suddenly lost her composure.

No, I don't like him at all.

【Yeah? 】

You seem to be having a good time lately.

It wasn't so much that he disliked her, but rather that he didn't know her. The two of them belonged to different worlds and different times. Gu Jing had never even seen what she really looked like.

Besides, Gu Jing doesn't like her.

I am a good student; I do not kill.

Okay, good students sleep in every day, only getting up once a year.

Xiao Lan didn't pressure Shen Qingqing, because someone else would naturally pressure her.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Qingqing sat in the living room waiting for Gu Jing to return. It seemed that the two of them had reached a consensus: one would wait for the other to come back.

"Madam, are you waiting for the master?" If the maid in the Gu family can't even tell this, she should have quit long ago.

"I do not have."

The lady is proud and aloof, and they all know that she doesn't mean what she says.

"When the master left this morning, he said that if he didn't come back by 11 a.m. today, he wouldn't be coming back at all, and told his wife to eat first."

"Oh." Shen Qingqing's face showed a disappointment that she herself did not realize.

Lazybones: You still say you don't like it? I don't believe you.

Seeing Shen Qingqing's expression, the maid smiled secretly. Sure enough, the madam liked the master.

"The gentleman said that if you miss him, you can send him food; the kitchen has already packed it up for the lady."

“I didn’t say I was going.”

Shen Qingqing is rebellious by nature. If I say I'm going or ask her to go, then I won't go.

"Madam, the driver of the silver car you rode in today is already downstairs."

Shen Qingqing felt helpless; she was now sitting in the car heading to the Gu family's company.

She now strongly suspects that this was all arranged by Gu Jing. Just because she is kind and embarrassed to refuse, is it a bit too much to treat her like this?

Lazybones: You're kind? I think you're just too lazy to say no and too lazy to socialize.

Don't you think things are different at the company today?

"How come it's different?"

"President Gu seems to be in a very good mood today."

"Sister, how did you figure that out?"

"Otherwise, why wasn't our whispered conversation reported?"

"..."

"You could say the company's testing system is broken, that would be more believable."

"You know what, I saw President Gu staring blankly when I was delivering documents today."

"Little Li, it's you again."

"I think Mr. Gu's temper has improved a lot since he got married."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li retorted, "Actually, President Gu has never been angry before; he just has a rather cold expression."

"What you say is true, but President Gu's cold face is truly terrifying."

"Now when I watch a horror movie and take out President Gu's picture, I immediately remember that I still have a lot of work to do, so I'm not afraid anymore."

"That's outrageous! I always put Mr. Gu's photo on..."

As they were talking, a silver Maybach pulled up in front of the door.

"What's going on? There are two rows of people standing at the door."

"Hey you guys, come over here right now, is some important person coming to our company?"

"What kind of important person needs to be welcomed when they come to our company? Our General Manager Gu is the most important person in City B."

"Then you are right."

One bodyguard opened the car door, while another immediately opened an umbrella to shield himself from the sun.

"Madam, please give me this, I'll hold it for you."

Shen Qingqing handed him the things from the car, "Where is Gu Jing?"

"Mr. Gu is waiting for you upstairs. I'll take you there now."

The group led Shen Qingqing into the president's private elevator, and the receptionist didn't say a word.

Receptionist: What a joke! Who would dare stop the president's wife?

Anyone with eyes could tell from this display of power that Shen Qingqing was someone important, since not many women could get into their company.

Besides, everyone knows that silver-white Maybach belongs to President Gu.

"Did you see that?"

Xiao Li shook his head.

"What about you?"

The other person also shook their head.

"What do you think the CEO's wife looks like?"

"What Mr. Gu likes so much is definitely not something that ordinary people like us can easily see."

"Don't talk about Little Li, I just think you're lucky, you're bound to meet the president's wife."

"Don't say that. I just luckily avoided President Gu's criticism."

The more they talked, the closer they got to each other.

"What are you guys doing? Don't take advantage of being new here to slack off!" Director Zhao felt a heart attack just looking at the group of young people slacking off.

If you never study properly and only know how to slack off, you'll lose your job sooner or later.
