Chapter 67: Bad Luck

Translator: _Min_

Upon seeing Gu Dais state, sympathy flooded the hearts of those around. Suddenly, the realization hit them, as they exchanged words with the people around them?

Did we just get played?

So this woman moves into someones house, gets kicked out and plays the victim? Shes guilt-tripping this poor girl. Am 1 getting it wrong?

No, youre right! This girl is too nice for her own good. Despite how theyve treated her, she still helped them out. If it were me, 1 wouldnt give them a second glance, much less pay their medical bills!

Word after word reached Gu Dai, each comment making her smile grow wider and her steps lighter.

Meanwhile, Liu Mins face was as long as a rainy day. She had hoped Gu Dai would be berated for being unfilial, but instead found herself the target of everyones scorn. To avoid further embarra.s.sment, she slipped away to Gu Mings ward.

Waking up late the next morning, Gu Dai was in a foul mood. She wouldnt have overslept if Gu Ming hadnt chosen to act at night, which made her late for work!

To top it off, upon arriving at the office, she saw Song Ling.

He looked her up and down and said coldly, with a frown, You said you didnt like me yesterday, and youre following me here today.

Confused, Gu Dai shot back, as she thought he might be hallucinating, Mr. Song, youre still half asleep if you think Im following you.

He smirked and retorted, Am 1 half asleep, or are you just playing hard to get? Look, Gu Dai, for the last time, its never going to happen. And about the rumors youve been spreading about me, Ill let them go for now

Just as he was about to say more, Gu Dai interrupted, Im here to work at Gu Group, whats your excuse for being here?

Song Ling thought Gu Dai was lying, he raised an eyebrow and sneered, Last time 1 checked, Gu Group required a bachelors degree even for the front desk job. How did you, as someone who was born into the slums, without a proper degree, of all people, land a job here?

He paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly turned more icy as he added, Oh, 1 remember. Su Ting just partnered with Gu Group, didnt he? He got you this job, didnt he?

Youre nuts! Gu Dai muttered as she turned to leave. She wanted nothing to do with him.

As she entered the elevator, Song Ling and Zhao Xuan stepped in with her.

Taken aback, she asked, What are you doing here?

As Song Ling was silent, Zhao Xuan stepped in nervously, Mr. Song has a meeting about a partners.h.i.+p with Chairwoman Gu.

Discussing a partners.h.i.+p? Gu Dai carefully reviewed her schedule in her mind, certain that there was nothing involving the Song Corporation, How come Im not aware that I our Chairwoman Gu is supposed to discuss a partners.h.i.+p with the Song Corporation? After all, Im her secretary, Im the one who arranges her schedule!

Song Ling responded indifferently, That just proves that youre merely imagining that youve been favored.

Gu Dai looked at Song Ling, her eyes blazing with anger. She responded coldly, Our Chairwoman would never agree to see you. After all, the kind of person she dislikes the most in her life is playboys like you!

Song Ling snorted, You, a little secretary, seem to think too highly of yourself. How could business matters be influenced by personal feelings!

Zhao Xuan, glancing back and forth, quickly stepped in to mediate, Seer Secretary Gu, we did make an appointment with Chairwoman Gu a while back. Perhaps you hadnt joined the company at that time, so youre not too clear on this matter.

Gu Dai still firmly denied it, Impossible. Chairwoman Gu would never agree to discuss a partners.h.i.+p with the Song Corporation!

After a moments thought, Zhao Xuan softly suggested, How about Secretary Gu, you call Chairwoman Gu, and we can confirm with her directly?
