A single word sums it all up.

Gu Bai hadn't misheard, but he wished he were deaf; his head was spinning.

For the sake of his good brother, he contradicted Jing Tailan for the first time in his life, though he dared not say anything too harsh.

After all, compared to his doting parents, Jing Tailan really beat people up!

When he was little, he was disobedient and Jing Tailan spanked him, making him cry for three days and three nights.

Gu Bai closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and said, "President Jing, isn't this a bit too exploitative of you?"

"I'm exploiting you?" Jing Tailan said as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Gu Bai, did your parents really send you here not just to cause me trouble?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Momo only dared to shrink to the side like a quail.

She thought Gu Bai didn't recognize her abilities and wanted to prove something.

The next second, Gu Bai said, "This young girl just started working at the company, and you're already making her go on a business trip, and to such a far place, thousands of kilometers, not just a few dozen meters. Even Zhou Bapi wouldn't exploit people like this."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, as if he himself was lacking confidence.

Jing Tailan was so angry she almost laughed.

"Fine, I'll take you on." She tossed the documents in her hand. "Take these and get back to your Gu family. Let's see if you think I'm a shrew or if you're afraid of your dad's beating. If he hits you again and cuts off your card, I won't let you book a hotel."

Gu Bai: ...

How could this person do this? They're cheating!

He's talking about serious business, something that concerns his brother's lifelong happiness. Why are you causing trouble?

Although she didn't know why Gu Bai was speaking up for her, seeing that the two were about to argue and that the problem originated from her side, Jiang Momo took the initiative to mediate the situation.

"Mr. Jing, Mr. Gu, please stop arguing. It was my own decision to go."

Gu Bai took a deep breath, and even his usually good-tempered face hardened.

"Is it really your own decision to go?"

Jiang Momo nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, just as you said, I definitely want to seize every opportunity to learn as soon as I join the company, and also..."

Seemingly to make her words seem more genuine, Jiang Momo took the initiative to admit it.

"The commission for securing this deal is quite high. I'm just a pragmatic person; why wouldn't I do a business that can make money?"

Gu Bai choked.

He originally wanted to say, "Since you're so short of money, why don't you go ask Li Jiuyuan for it? After all, he's the richest man in the entire capital."

But when the words were about to come out, Gu Bai remembered Jiang Momo's stubborn nature—she wouldn't even spend a penny on Li Jiuyuan—so he had to swallow them back.

Finally, he simply waved his hand.

"Fine, I don't care about you anymore, do whatever you want."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

But this time, he didn't dare to use too much force and closed the door gently.

Watching the other person's departing figure, not only Jing Tailan, but Jiang Momo herself didn't even have time to react.

Why did this person suddenly come out and say something in her defense, and then leave on their own?

"Mr. Jing, I'll go downstairs to hand over my work now."

Jiang Momo was about to leave after she finished speaking when Jing Tailan called her back. The latter looked confused, thinking that Jiang Momo had something else to arrange.

Jing Tailan, however, said earnestly:

"I know your family situation is rather unique, but I don't want you to bring your personal or emotional issues into your work. The most important thing to do if you want to establish yourself in this industry is to be clear-headed."

"If you can't even tell the difference yourself and confuse the two, then you can't possibly make accurate judgments in the workplace."

Jiang Momo was completely baffled by what he said.

What exactly does President Jing mean?

Could it be that she knows her grandmother is sick and hopes that her grandmother's illness won't make her depressed and affect her work?

I still feel that she took too many days off recently.

Regardless of which one it was, Jiang Momo showed that she was very receptive to instruction.

"Thank you, Mr. Jing. I understand. I will be more careful in the future."

Jiang Momo left the office only after obtaining permission from the other party.

As soon as she stepped outside, she noticed that Gu Bai hadn't gone far. Instead, he was standing at the end of the corridor, typing furiously on his phone.

[Oh no! Have you two been arguing lately? Reply to my message immediately!]

Li Jiuyuan had just finished a meeting. He had stayed up too late yesterday, and he was sitting in a chair rubbing his temples.

Typing is also very concise.

【explain.】

Under normal circumstances, his word would carry a lot of implications.

Basically, they're saying that if it weren't something really important, they would definitely twist Gu Bai's head off and use it as a football.

Right now, Gu Bai had no time to guess the meaning behind Ninth Master's words. He quickly sent over everything he had just heard.

Do you remember that project I told you about last time? The one my family and my aunt did together.

She needed to arrange for someone to go on a business trip to the next town, and Jiang Momo volunteered to go!

Li Jiuyuan, who had been sitting in a relaxed posture, suddenly straightened his back and his whole figure became much stiffer.

[Business trip? Where to?]

It was actually Jiang Momo who took the initiative to go?

[It seems to be in Xiangcheng, right? You said that's so far away, thousands of kilometers. Is Jiang Momo really avoiding you because you two had a fight?]

And I heard we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning!

Xiangcheng.

Li Jiuyuan's eyes darkened slightly.

Just then, Secretary Lin knocked on the office door. The sound hit right on the edge of his temper, and Li Jiuyuan couldn't hold back his temper, shouting, "Get out!"

Those outside seemed startled, but Li Jiuyuan quickly regained his composure and composed himself.

He rubbed his temples, but his tone was still harsh.

"Alright, come in."

Secretary Lin carefully walked in and presented the documents in her hand to Li Jiuyuan.

"President Li, these are the documents we need to review today, as well as an online meeting and two in-person meetings this afternoon."

However, Li Jiuyuan couldn't hear a single word the other person was saying.

He suddenly interrupted Secretary Lin.

"I arranged for Li Yunqi to go on a business trip yesterday. Which city did he go to?"

Although she didn't understand why President Li suddenly asked this, Secretary Lin still answered truthfully: "Xiangcheng."

These two words again.

Li Jiuyuan's aura suddenly turned cold, but Secretary Lin seemed oblivious and continued to add:

[I have given the instructions as you instructed. Young Master Yunqi has agreed to go out, and the flight is scheduled for tomorrow morning.]

The same place, even the time is exactly the same.

Even though Li Jiuyuan was very unwilling to admit it, the facts were already laid out before him.

Li Yunqi made excuses to change the time, and Jiang Momo took the initiative to take on the project, all for one reason.

The two of them couldn't wait to meet.

He went to another city under the guise of a business trip, so that he wouldn't be an obstacle between them.

And all of this will lead to one result: Jiang Momo will abandon him again and run into the arms of another man.
