After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

While the outside world was buzzing with discussion, the general manager's office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Gu Yannian leaned back in her chair, her fingers interlaced.

"Isn't Minister Cui usually very talkative? Why is he silent now?"

Cui Xiu'e gritted her teeth secretly, forcing out a smile.

"General Manager, I was just rambling, please don't take it to heart."

"You're not making this up; everything you said is true."

Gu Yannian did not try to argue; she readily admitted it.

Cui Xiu'e looked surprised, but the contempt in her eyes was even stronger.

"Minister Cui, I've heard about your case."

"Your husband divorced you when your daughter was sick and ran off with a rich woman, so you deeply resent being kept by a sugar daddy and therefore look down on me from the bottom of your heart."

"General Manager... I didn't..."

Whether it's true or not, you know in your heart, and I don't want to convince you to understand me.

Upon hearing this, Cui Xiu'e's face fell completely.

She took off her employee ID card and slammed it onto the table.

"I get it, you just want to kick me out, right? I'm done!"

"Minister Cui."

Gu Yannian stopped Cui Xiue, who was turning away in a huff, and said slowly, "Your daughter takes medication year-round. How will you pay for her medical expenses if you lose your job?"

Cui Xiu'e's shoulders trembled, and her expression turned pained.

"what on earth do you want?"

Gu Yannian tossed the employee badge back and said slowly, "At the end of this month, I will take a portion of the company's profits as employee welfare funds and put it into your card. Work hard from now on and don't gossip."

Cui Xiu'e caught the employee badge, her face showing disbelief.

Why is Gu Yannian not only not firing her, but also giving her subsidies?

At that moment, Cui Xiu'e looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Minister Cui, I'm a rotten person, so it doesn't matter if my reputation is ruined."

"But the chairman is a good person. She went to such lengths to help me, even resorting to such an awkward method as keeping a mistress. I can't let her be criticized, you understand?"

"understand!"

Cui Xiu'e suddenly realized that the young man had been beating around the bush for so long in order to protect Su Yanxi's reputation.

Although he said he was a bad person, Cui Xiu'e changed her opinion of him.

A man who can protect a woman is not a bad person.

"I'll tell the HR department to keep quiet. If any rumors get out, just come to me, General Manager."

"very good."

Gu Yannian smiled slightly and waved her hand, saying, "Go do your work."

Cui Xiu'e smiled broadly and even closed the door quietly.

Humans are animals that seek advantage and avoid harm.

Give them a little nudge, create a sense of crisis, and then offer them some benefits. They will not only be loyal but also very obedient.

Gu Yannian turned on her computer and reviewed the company's various data.

Setting up a foreign trade company isn't actually that difficult.

After all, it's about using foreign resources to produce our own results.

As long as prices are kept low and product quality remains stable, there's no need to worry about orders; it's just a matter of how much profit you make.

Gu Yannian spent the afternoon standardizing company rules, enabling departments to coordinate with each other, and incidentally preventing the problem of anyone abusing their power to bully subordinates.

At 6 PM, the company employees left work on time.

This delighted the employees who had been working overtime for several years, and they all shouted "Long live the general manager!" in the group chat.

See? This shows how people are united.

After taking a taxi back to her apartment building, Gu Yannian first went to the repair shop to retrieve her electric scooter.

Having transformed from a corporate slave into a general manager, it seems there's no need to continue this designated driver job.

I casually listed my electric scooter on a second-hand website, and soon someone placed an order to pick it up.

With the thousand yuan she earned from trading her electric scooter, Gu Yannian bought flowers, snacks, and various ingredients.

Women appreciate a certain ambiance, so their rooms naturally need to be carefully arranged and decorated.

Bouquets, candlelight, red wine.

Gu Yannian personally cooked several dishes, which were delicious and visually appealing.

Back when I was in college, Su Yanxi was the one who prepared all these things.

Now they've reversed the Heavenly Gang.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Gu Yannian saw Su Yanxi's car parked downstairs and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sometimes fate is like a boomerang; once you throw it, it will inevitably pierce your forehead.

"coming."

Upon opening the door, Gu Yannian took Su Yanxi's bag and hung it behind the door.

Su Yanxi crossed her arms and looked around the room, a charming smile on her face.

"Not bad, you put a lot of effort into it."

"If you're a kept man, you should at least put in some effort."

As she spoke, Gu Yannian pulled out a chair. "Let's eat."

Su Yanxi smiled, very satisfied with his meticulous care.

While the two were eating, they heard a woman hitting and scolding her child coming from upstairs.

The sound of glass beads hitting the ground is inexplicably irritating.

"This environment is terrible."

Su Yanxi frowned slightly, "Why don't you move to the villa and live with me?"

Thinking of that villa, Gu Yannian felt complicated emotions.

After his family went bankrupt, his parents passed away there one after the other.

For him, that place was a place of sorrow.

"Don't go."

Su Yanxi put down her chopsticks, her face showing displeasure. "You have no right to refuse me now."

Gu Yannian raised her eyes, her expression indifferent.

"I didn't ask you to keep me as a sugar daddy. If you're not satisfied, the door is right there."

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi snorted and stood up.

Good intentions are wasted!

Bang!

The door was slammed shut, and the sound of high heels gradually faded into the distance.

Gu Yannian leaned back in her chair and smoked a cigarette, fully understanding Su Yanxi's thoughts.

But he couldn't live with Su Yanxi, nor could he wallow in the absurd days of the past.

After going bankrupt, he left the country and originally had no intention of returning.

However, during his review of the company's bankruptcy proceedings, he discovered numerous suspicious points.

Gujia, as an energy company, was able to achieve a market value of tens of billions in China because it mastered a new method for producing renewable energy.

With its energy resources at its disposal, Gujia has become a new energy supplier for the military.

According to the agreement, the Gu family is not allowed to sell energy to external parties without authorization.

But later, the Gu family not only sold energy abroad without authorization, but their formula was also leaked.

As a result, the Gu family paid an exorbitant compensation, and the company was reduced to ashes.

Although the culprit on the surface was a veteran in the company, Gu Yannian discovered that a large amount of money had been transferred into his children's accounts.

These transfers were all anonymous and originated from overseas.

Therefore, Gu Yannian strongly suspected that the company elder who confessed and accepted punishment was just a pawn!

The real mastermind remains at large.
