Chapter 975 - 975 979 Thank You Madam Gu for the Compliment

Chapter 975: Chapter 979 Thank You Madam Gu for the Compliment Chapter 975: Chapter 979 Thank You Madam Gu for the Compliment Gu Junzhu opened the door and gestured to Ye Xingbei with a welcoming hand, “Madam Gu, please.”

Ye Xingbei smiled and pinched him lightly at the waist as she walked into his office.

The office before her was the most spacious, grandest, and most luxurious one Ye Xingbei had ever seen.

Standing at the doorway, Ye Xingbei looked around and clicked her tongue, “You really know how to live it up.”

“Of course,” Gu Junzhu closed the door and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, “If you have the means to live well, why make yourself suffer?”

He kissed her behind the ear, “Ye Xiaobei, this young master allows you to bask in my glory from now on and enjoy the finer things in life with me.”

“Show-off!” Ye Xingbei turned and playfully scolded him with a smile, then pushed him away and walked towards the window.

The view outside the window was also very pleasing, with a boundless ocean in the distance.

The sky was as clear as a washed blue, the sea water clean and crystal clear; numerous seagulls soared by the sea, and occasionally, the cry of a sea bird could be heard.

There was a park nearby downstairs with lush trees and blossoming flowers.

The roadsides were also lined with verdant shrubs and brightly colored flowers.

Ye Xingbei exclaimed, “It’s no wonder this is an aristocratic area, it’s so beautiful! No wonder people die for money; money really is a wonderful thing.”

Without money, one couldn’t afford a house here or enjoy such a high-class, sophisticated lifestyle.

Every year, countless people go to prison mainly for reasons connected to love, hate, passion, and more often than not, for the sake of “money.”

Though it is just one short word, the temptation it represents is simply too great.

Seeing Gu Junzhu’s office building and the surrounding scenery even made her, who usually wasn’t greedy, agree that money was a wonderful thing.

“Money certainly is a wonderful thing,” Gu Junzhu wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her to sit on the bay window, “Haven’t people said that money makes the world go round? Money isn’t everything, but without it, you’re nothing. Any problem that can be solved with money isn’t a problem, and ninety-nine percent of the world’s problems can be solved with money.”

Ye Xingbei: “…Well said!”

Gu Junzhu slightly bent forward in a gentlemanly manner, “Thank you for the compliment, Madam Gu.”

Ye Xingbei chuckled, pushed him lightly, and said, “Oh, go away.”

Gu Junzhu pulled her into his arms and bent his head to press a kiss on her lips, murmuring as their lips touched, “You have a strong adhesive on you; I can’t leave.”

Ye Xingbei couldn’t stop laughing and kept pushing him, “You’re so silly, I should record this and show it to your employees!”

Gu Junzhu was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.

Without letting go of Ye Xingbei, Gu Junzhu straightened up and called out, “Come in.”

A tall, very handsome young man entered, stopped at the door, and slightly bowed to both of them, “Sorry to disturb you, Young Master, Young Madam.”

Ye Xingbei pushed Gu Junzhu vigorously, stood up, and said with a smile, “I’m the one who’s intruding.”

The young man gave her a polite smile before turning to Gu Junzhu, “Young Master, there’s an urgent document that requires your signature now.”

Gu Junzhu gestured him over with a flick of his finger.

The young man immediately stepped forward and handed the document to Gu Junzhu.

Gu Junzhu picked up the document, carefully read it through, and then signed his name on the last page.

The young man again bowed to both of them, took the document, and left the room.

Ye Xingbei noticed that the man had a scar at the corner of his eye.

The scar, in terms of both size and location, was strikingly similar to the one by Lingyue’s eye.

Ye Xingbei tapped at the corner of her own eye and asked Gu Junzhu, “Is this here…”

Gu Junzhu, still pondering the contents of the document he had just signed, responded absently, “He got it in prison.”

Ye Xingbei: “… You hire ex-convicts?”

Her surprised inquiry snapped Gu Junzhu out of his thoughts.

Gu Junzhu came to his senses, pinched her cheek, and grinned, “What’s so strange about that? The man has served his time; shouldn’t he be allowed to start over?”

“It’s not that,” Ye Xingbei felt she might have overreacted slightly and said apologetically, “It’s just that he seems to have such a good demeanor and capable appearance, and he’s so young too. What did he go to prison for?”
