Chapter 158: His Motives Are Indeed Not Straightforward

Translator: _Min_

After Zheng Ming pa.s.sed on Gu Dais instructions, the employees looked at her with even stronger admiration.

Ms. Gu is the guiding light of my life.

I thought Id spend my life drifting aimlessly, just earning a meager salary. But now, it feels like becoming wealthy isnt just a dream as long as I work hard.

Ms. Gu is as beautiful as she is kind; shes the only G.o.ddess in my heart!

Zheng Ming reported these employee sentiments to Gu Dai one by one.

Listening, Gu Dai could only offer a resigned smile.

Catching sight of her grin, Zheng Ming looked down, his heart pounding erratically. The employees hadnt been wrong; Ms. Gu was indeed stunning.

Gu Dai, oblivious to Zheng Mings internal turmoil, spoke in her usual tone, Ask a.s.sistant Lin to come to my office when hes free.

Snapping back to reality, Zheng Ming nodded, Alright!

Not long after Zheng Ming left her office, Lin Sheng entered.

Standing up, Gu Dai greeted him with a smile, Uncle Lin.

Lin Sheng bowed slightly, responding, Miss.

An inner sense of resignation washed over Gu Dai. Shed told Uncle Lin countless times that he didnt need to be so formal with her. Each time, hed agree verbally, but the next time they met, hed revert to his usual respectful demeanor.

Gu Dai pulled out a chair for Lin Sheng, expressing her concern, Uncle Lin, please sit. The weather has been quite unpredictable lately; please take care to keep warm.

Lin Sheng nodded with a smile, Dont worry, Miss, 1 will take care of myself.

Pleased by his response, Gu Dai poured tea for both of them before stating her reason for seeing him, Uncle Lin, about the embroidery project we discussed a while agoIve found a partner for it. Do you think its a good time to proceed with this project?

Lin Sheng looked a bit surprised, Embroidery project?

Gu Dai nodded, Yes.

After sipping his tea contemplatively, Lin Sheng finally looked up at Gu Dai and said, Miss, 111 be honest with you. When you first proposed this project, 1 wasnt fully on board. Embroidery, although intricate and beautiful, is not common in the current market. People may not readily accept this new industry, and theres a high chance itll result in a loss.

Gu Dais eyes softened with a touch of nostalgia as she spoke, I understand your concerns, Uncle Lin. The embroidery project was something my parents wanted to establish but couldnt due to unforeseen circ.u.mstances. Thats why Im so keen on pursuing it now. As for making a loss, Im not overly concerned.

Lin thought about Gu Dais late parents and their remarkable business ac.u.men.

He looked at Gu Dai, who closely resembled them and had successfully introduced a myriad of innovative projects within the company, exhibiting not only inherited skills but also promising signs of surpa.s.sing her parents.

Suddenly, he found himself believing that maybe, just maybe, Gu Dai could make the embroidery project work.

Upon realizing this, Lin Sheng smiled and replied, Miss, 1 think its a good time to proceed with the embroidery project. Ill do my best to a.s.sist you with any issues.

With Lin Shengs support, Gu Dai felt more a.s.sured.

It was then that Lin Sheng remembered a crucial detail he had overlooked. He looked at Gu Dai and asked, Young Mistress, who is collaborating with us on this embroidery project?

After all, it was a risky venture. Lin Sheng was concerned that someone might be setting a trap for Gu Dai.

Under Lin Shengs wary gaze, Gu Dai softly revealed the name of the investor, Zhou Ci.

Lin frowned as he repeated, Zhou Ci?

Being a special a.s.sistant in the Gu Group, Lin Sheng was fairly knowledgeable about social circles and quickly recalled Zhou Cis face.

His worry intensified, Miss, Zhou Ci is close to Song Ling. Is he investing in this project to stand up for his friend?

Lin Sheng hadnt forgotten that Gu Dai had previously declined to collaborate with Song Ling, the President of Song Corporation. He felt Zhou Cis intent must be far from simple.

Gu Dai didnt deny it, nodding in agreement, His motives are indeed not straightforward..
