Su Cheng was a gifted student who came back from overseas. She was smart, pretty, and proficient in many languages. She had already been a special assistant to Han Zhen for five years.
In the past, she had taken time off too, but Gao Xiaoxiao had never heard of anyone taking over her job. She wondered why this time…
Yu Yuting clapped loudly. "This is great! Xiaoxiao has been promoted. Hurry up and thank your husband!"
A dark cloud hung over Gao Xiaoxiao's head as she said hesitantly, "Young Master Han, this job… I might not be able to do it."
As a special assistant, not only did she have to be outstanding at her work, she also had to have an outstanding appearance and attend business meetings…
Gao Xiaoxiao knew her place and did not want to be embroiled in gossip because of her sudden promotion.
"I know." Han Zhen nodded.
Gao Xiaoxiao was depressed. "Does he have to be so sarcastic?" she thought.
"But… the secretary's office is very busy now. You're the only one who's available. Besides, you'll only be covering for a month. I'll raise your salary by 50%. Do you want to do it?" Han Zhen looked at her intently. He even raised his eyebrows enticingly.
50%? Gao Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. "I'll do it!"
Han Zhen smiled in satisfaction. "Alright, you can go back first. Secretary Zhou will tell you the work details."
"Thank you, Young Master Han!" Gao Xiaoxiao tried her best to suppress her smile and bowed respectfully before turning to leave.
As soon as the office door closed, Yu Yuting could not help but laugh loudly until a pen hit his chest…
"Ouch!" Yu Yuting pretended to rub his chest as he grumbled at the man behind the desk. "Why do I think that… you're getting more and more scheming?"
"He clearly wants to be good to Xiaoxiao, but he still has to come up with so many excuses. He is really rotten!" Yu Yuting thought.
Han Zhen smiled like a sly old fox. "Why do you care?"
Yu Yuting waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, alright. Cut the crap. Why did you call me over so early?"
Han Zhen stood up and lit a cigarette slowly. "Do you remember what happened at Yihao Hotel five years ago?"
Yu Yuting raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. "You mean… the time you were drugged five years ago?"
Han Zhen nodded and blew out a beautiful smoke ring.
Five years ago, he had just returned to the country and was young and impetuous. He inadvertently fell into a trap.
Although he later saw through the other party's scheme and escaped from the room, he did not expect to meet a woman in the hallway…
When he woke up, he was alone in the stairwell. He checked the surveillance cameras in the hotel but could not find any clues.
"Didn't I help you investigate? At that time, Wang Kaiwei wanted you to have sex with his daughter, but he didn't succeed. The one who really had sex with you was probably the daughter of the Gu family, Gu Liqing, who went on a blind date that day," Yu Yuting said.
It was precisely because of this that, perhaps with the mentality of compensation, the first thing Han Zhen did after joining the family's company was to allocate funds to Gu Corporation. Over the past few years, he had been collaborating with them.
It could be said that Gu Corporation's achievements in City D today were partly due to Han Zhen's secret help.
"No." Han Zhen frowned. "I met Gu Liqing two months ago and two days ago, I met her again… Her attitude didn't seem like she had slept with me at all."
He had known many women who played hard to get. Although Gu Liqing was polite and gracious, her eyes clearly showed that she was very interested in him.
Would such a woman have run away after having an affair with him five years ago?
He did not think so.
Yu Yuting thought for a moment before he said, "But I'd checked the guest list for that day. It had to be either the Wang family or the Gu family. Gu Yicheng and Gao Zhenning were twice married. Gu Yicheng has only one daughter, Gu Liqing. The son that Gao Zhenning gave birth to is only 10 years old this year. Unless…" He suddenly smiled at Han Zhen.
