Summer Kiss

Chapter 24 Caught Red-Handed, Utterly Disgraced

Gu Yan pushed Yu Xiran away without any mercy, and then took out a bank card from his wallet.

He planned to cut ties with her completely, saying, "There's 100,000 yuan inside. From now on, we'll pretend we don't know each other."

Yu Xiran smiled charmingly. How could she care about a mere bank card with 100,000 yuan? The other party had given her a check for a full 500,000 yuan.

As long as she comes here today, we can delay the time until 9:30.

She wasn't annoyed. She hooked her arm around Gu Yan's neck and breathed into his ear, "Last night you called me 'baby,' saying you liked my voice and my body. How come you've turned your back on me after just one night?"

Gu Yan's voice turned completely cold, as if the passionate man from last night wasn't him at all.

"Ms. Yu, this is the company."

"I know, but don't you think this is more exciting? Mr. Gu, I don't want your money, I like you."

Gu Yan suddenly became interested and laughed heartily, "What do you like about me?"

Yu Xiran bent down slightly, revealing the beautiful scenery of her chest to the man.

She poked the man's chest and smiled faintly, "I love everything about you. There's no one else here. Are you sure you don't want to try it here?"

Gu Yan loosened his tie, recalling the long-standing questioning, and irritably pressed the woman in front of him onto the table, demanding a kiss.

Yu Xiran pointed to the doorway, "Mr. Gu, are you sure you don't want to lock the door?"

Gu Yan ripped off Yu Xiran's clothes. "Scared? Isn't this more exciting?"

Yu Xiran's hands were also busy; she hooked her arm around Gu Yan's neck and unbuttoned his shirt.

……

Downstairs at Shijiu Group.

Shi Zijing, president of Shijiu Group, received the visitors from Huangtian Group.

Lu Zhiqian went on a business trip to another city, and his assistant Lin and Fu Xicheng drove to Shijiu Group.

Fu Xicheng was dressed in a suit and tie, tall and slender, with a black mask covering his handsome face.

Shi Zijing looked the man up and down, then asked in confusion, "Assistant Lin, who is this...?"

Fu Xicheng coughed twice unconsciously, pretending to be unwell.

"I recently caught a cold, please forgive me, Mr. Shi. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Fu, and I am one of the shareholders of Huangtian Group. Mr. Lu is busy today, so he specially asked me to come and inspect Shijiu Group."

"For the sake of our future cooperation, you have taken the time to receive me and Assistant Lin today."

Shi Zijing nodded, then smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. Let me show you around the entire group first."

Fu Xicheng, Assistant Lin, and Shi Zijing walked into the company side by side, followed by a group of senior executives from Shijiu Group. They led Fu Xicheng and his group on a tour of each department, starting from the first floor.

After a tour lasting about ten minutes, Fu Xicheng cleared his throat and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I've heard that your company's design director is exceptionally talented and has secured many collaborations for the company."

"Where is he now? I'd like to take this opportunity to get to know him. Could you please introduce us?"

Mentioning Gu Yan made Shi Zijing feel very proud, after all, he was the person his daughter liked.

Recently, many business partners have asked him where he found Gu Yan, praising his good reputation, good interpersonal skills, and ability to get things done.

Shi Zijing was secretly pleased with himself. "Director Gu is indeed very talented. I'll have my assistant call him over now." Fu Xicheng immediately stopped him. If he notified Gu Yan to come over now, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
Fu Xicheng suggested, "There's no need to call him over. Just go to his office and find him yourself. It's like a leader making a surprise inspection to see if his employees are working diligently."

Shi Zijing nodded in agreement. Gu Yan had always been regarded as a model worker in the company, so he must be working hard today as well.

He made an inviting gesture, "Chairman Fu is absolutely right, this way please."

Meanwhile, in the office of the design director.

After Gu Yan finished his strenuous exercise, Yu Xiran helped him straighten his shirt. She tugged at his sleeve and said, "Mr. Gu, shall we do it one last time?"

Gu Yan glanced at the time and declined, saying, "I'll come find you another day when I have time."

He stuffed the bank card in his hand into her ample bosom, and Yu Xiran hooked her arms around his neck and wouldn't let go.

"Kiss me one more time, and I'll leave."

Helpless, Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed the woman in front of him deeply.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

Gu Yan's gaze was deep. Hadn't he warned his assistant in advance not to come in and disturb him?

How dare he push the door open and come in without knocking?

Gu Yan was about to get angry when he looked up and saw a large group of people standing at the door.

He hurriedly pushed Yu Xiran away, then stood up. Just as he was about to explain, Shi Zijing rushed in and slapped him hard twice.

"Gu Yan, you actually brought another woman to the company to fool around. How are you going to explain this to A Jiu? You've completely disgraced me."

Gu Yan's face was grim. If Yu Xiran hadn't been pestering him for a kiss, they wouldn't have run into him like that.

Gu Yan wanted to save face, "President Shi, please let me explain."

"Explain what? Explain how you embarrassed me in front of me and the entire company's top management? Gu Yan, pack your things right now, I don't want to see you again."

Fu Xicheng stood at the door, laughing gloatingly, "President Shi, is this your company's talented and capable design director?"

"Indeed, he is outstanding. With such a person serving as the design director, I feel uneasy about cooperating with your company."

Assistant Lin stood aside and, upon seeing this scene, he recalled that he seemed to have witnessed a similar scene many years ago.

He had watched it with great interest for a long time back then, and now, reliving that scene, he seemed to understand why President Lu had asked him to come here.

He wanted him to watch a free show with Fu Xicheng.

Shi Zijing had no time to deal with Gu Yan at this moment. He went to Fu Xicheng's side and explained, "Chairman Fu, don't dismiss Shijiu Group because of one person. Shijiu Group has strong financial resources and can definitely achieve a win-win situation with Huangtian Group."

Fu Xicheng didn't want to hear his explanation, so he immediately changed his attitude, "President Shi, please take care of your family matters first, and we can discuss cooperation another day when you have time."

After saying this, Fu Xicheng left Shijiu Group with his assistant Lin.

While Shi Zijing and Gu Yan were arguing, Yu Xiran quietly took her things and left Shijiu Group amidst the chaos.

Inside a black sedan in the underground parking garage of Shijiu Group, Xu Yansheng handed an envelope to Yu Xiran.

"The boss is very satisfied with your performance and has given you an extra 200,000 yuan. Ms. Yu, your mother has been transferred to the First Hospital of Gangcheng. We will continue to pay for the subsequent surgery for another year. Also, there is a plane ticket to Gangcheng in the envelope. You can leave Haicheng this afternoon."
