ABCFWGR Chapter 69 Clear Distinction Between Public and Private Affairs
Chen Yuwei trembled with anger.
Not long ago, her own uncle suggested she sacrifice her charm, and now she encountered a receptionist who called her a gold digger.
Was this meant to drive her insane?
"Ms. Chen, maybe you should personally call Mr. Gu?"
A senior executive behind her whispered.
Chen Yuwei glanced back at him, controlling her emotions, "Business is business, and personal matters are personal. Don't mix them up. And listen carefully, my relationship with Gu Chen is very pure, not what you all think."
The last sentence was also directed at the receptionist.
However.
The receptionist's expression became even more disdainful upon hearing this, "Tsk tsk, acting out the whole performance, huh? Hurry up and leave, or I'll have security kick you out!"
"You..."
Chen Yuwei didn't know what to say.
It felt like being a scholar facing soldiers, unable to explain oneself.
Arguing with her would seem beneath her dignity, but not arguing would seem guilty.
In any case, arguing or not arguing had become a problem, something Chen Yuwei had never expected.
"Yuwei?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the direction of the elevator.
Chen Yuwei looked over and saw Wu Anqi walking towards her with a happy face.
"It's really you! I thought I had the wrong person. I was planning to come to your house for dinner tonight." Wu Anqi smiled, linking arms with Chen Yuwei.
"You and Gu Chen..."
Chen Yuwei thought of something, feeling a hint of bitterness in her heart, but she stopped herself midway through the sentence.
"It's not what you think."
Wu Anqi instinctively explained, then remembered she had already come clean to her, feeling a bit guilty. She quickly added, "But there has been significant progress, I won't say more, you understand."
Once again, asking if she understood!
Chen Yuwei really didn't want to understand. She forced a smile and asked, "Is Gu Chen here? I have something to discuss with him."
Only then did Wu Anqi notice that Chen Yuwei had brought executives from Chen's Pharmaceuticals. She said, "Gu Chen rarely comes to the company. If it's something important, you can tell me, and I can relay the message to him."
"Just as good?"
Chen Yuwei caught on to a key point, questioning.
"Well..."
Wu Anqi still felt a bit guilty and frustrated as she came clean, "To tell you the truth, I am now Gu Chen's personal secretary. If you have any work-related matters, you can tell me, and it's the same as telling him."
Just last night, she begged all night before finally persuading Gu Chen to agree.
Of course, the crying was an act, but the current happiness was real.
After all, the first step was taken, somewhat outshining Liu Hanyan.
Until now, Liu Hanyan was still in the dark. If she found out, she'd probably have a hard time.
Miss Liu was not as harmless as she seemed on the surface; she had a scheming side.
"You're Gu Chen's secretary?!"
Chen Yuwei was so surprised she almost blurted it out, "What about your family's building materials company? Are you just abandoning it? What are you after?"
"Don't shout!"
Wu Anqi's face turned red in embarrassment as she whispered, "Didn't I tell you last time? I'm after him."
She must be crazy!
She must be crazy!

While Chen Yuwei felt surprised, she ignored the pang of pain that flashed through her heart.
Or perhaps she intentionally pretended not to notice, numbing herself, unwilling to face reality.
"Wu's father agreed to you doing this?" Chen Yuwei sighed.
Wu Anqi shrugged, "Don't you know my dad? He's a pushover."
Chen Yuwei knew that Wu's father was easily influenced, and the Wu family was mostly controlled by Wu Anqi. Still, she found it difficult to accept.
It felt like... it felt like her best friend had picked up toys she didn't want.
"Sorry, my head's a bit muddled right now. Let's talk about work another day." Chen Yuwei shook her head, preparing to leave.
Behind her were executives from Chen's Pharmaceuticals, and it wasn't appropriate to keep chatting.
Plus, she had acted on impulse and hadn't prepared a decent proposal, so there was no specific work to discuss.
"Alright, let me walk you out."
Wu Anqi accompanied her to the door, reminding her, "I'll come to your house for dinner tonight. Remember to come back early."
Chen Yuwei nodded in acknowledgment.
Turning around.
Wu Anqi approached the receptionist with a serious expression on her face.
The receptionist couldn't sit still anymore, immediately standing up and cautiously saying, "Ms. Wu, please... please don't stare at me like that, it makes me feel uneasy."
Although it was Wu Anqi's first day at work, she was Gu Chen's personal secretary.
This alone was enough to intimidate most people in the company.
"Do you know what you did wrong?" Wu Anqi said coldly.
The receptionist broke out in a cold sweat, her voice trembling, "Ms. Wu, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance."
"Don't think that just because Mr. Gu is lenient and doesn't care about trivial matters, you can do whatever you want. From now on, I will keep an eye on all of you on his behalf." Wu Anqi showed her ruthless side.
She had previously managed the Wu Building Materials Company, so she had no shortage of authority.
The receptionist immediately nodded repeatedly, scared out of her wits.
Before leaving, Wu Anqi added, "The person who just came, Ms. Chen, is my best friend. If you dare to make things difficult for her again, I will definitely get to the bottom of it."
"However, if she comes again, remember to inform me immediately."
Leaving behind her business card, Wu Anqi left satisfied.
To be honest, seeing Chen Yuwei come over, her mood was quite complicated.
She wanted to help her best friend, but she was also afraid that she would compete with her for men. Dealing with one Miss Liu was enough headache, but if Chen Yuwei was added to the mix, she would truly despair.
Especially since Chen Yuwei had both the time, place, and people on her side. Not to mention their cooperation, even if Aunt Jiang intervened, Gu Chen would definitely give face.
That was what worried her the most.
Meanwhile.
In the luxurious mansion, Gu Chen had just cooked noodles, placed them on the table, and hadn't even picked up his chopsticks when he heard a noise by the window.
"Swoosh!"
Without hesitation, Gu Chen flung the chopsticks over.
Ordinary chopsticks in his hand, but they flew like sharp arrows, piercing through the glass and embedding themselves almost entirely into the ground.
"Those who act under the guise of autumn should always be upright and forthright. There's no need for subterfuge."
Gu Chen spoke calmly.
The next moment, a woman's voice came from outside the window, "You're not worthy to mention her, nor are you worthy to call her name."
"And, I'm originally an assassin. You don't need to provoke me with words!"
"I know you're angry about last night's incident, wishing you could personally kill me, but there's no way. Who let you accept my red leaf, and who let me not be able to beat you?"
"Without finding another way, I'm afraid I'll never be able to complete my task of killing you!"
Using one chopstick, Gu Chen picked up a noodle and brought it to his mouth, savoring it with a satisfied expression before saying, "Why are you so persistent in wanting to kill me? What's your relationship with Zhiqiu?"
