Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Heart-to-Heart Connection

Madam Gu’s words left Lin Qian speechless.

She could understand the helplessness and indulgence of being a parent.

They felt indebted to Gu Yan, so they tried everything possible to make it up to her.

But with Gu Yan’s character, if she didn’t change, Lin Qian really couldn’t guarantee how long the Gu Family could protect her.

However, none of this was her concern.

After all, it was someone else’s family matter.

It was just the matter at the birthday banquet...

Lin Qian looked at Madam Gu’s face and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

"As long as Gu Yan apologizes to me, I will try to plead with Moran on behalf of Gu Group."

Regardless, Madam Gu had raised her, and the Gu Family had never mistreated her from childhood, she truly couldn’t be ungrateful and let the Gu Group be destroyed because of her.

Moreover, the uniforms ordered from Gu Group hadn’t been fully paid for yet.

That was a significant amount of money, related to her career.

So, no matter what, she couldn’t let the Gu Group get into trouble.

"What? Apologize to you? You’re dreaming!"

Gu Yan said sharply, looking at Lin Qian with a face full of mockery.

Madam Gu quickly said, "Yanyan, listen, it concerns the development of the Gu Group’s business, you can’t be willful."

"Mom, it’s not that I’m being willful. Did you hear what she said? She said, if I apologize, she’ll try to talk to Yin Moran. Just try! What if Yin Moran is just playing with her, and doesn’t take her seriously, wouldn’t my apology be in vain? Who does she think she is!"

Gu Yan glared at Lin Qian bitterly and spoke.

Lin Qian found it amusing inside, "Since that’s the case, let’s forget it. Consider I never said anything. I have other matters to attend to, I need to leave now."

If she was not even willing to say sorry, what else was there to talk about?

"Wait."

Madam Gu hurriedly held onto Lin Qian and glared fiercely at Gu Yan, "Yanyan, behave, apologize to Qianqian."

"Mom!"

Gu Yan was furious and didn’t want to lower her head.

But seeing the rare sharpness in Madam Gu’s eyes, she dared not truly defy her mother.

Begrudgingly looking at Lin Qian, she said, "Lin Qian, I’m saying sorry only out of respect for my mom; since you’ve heard it, you better hurry up and make sure the Yins stop suppressing our Gu Group. If you don’t handle it well, don’t blame me for being rude."

Brat!

She would remember the humiliation she endured today!

Gu Yan flung off Madam Gu’s hand and quickly entered the car parked at the roadside, slamming the car door shut with a bang.

That was Gu Yan’s apology!

Reluctant and begrudging, even the words "I’m sorry" were forced out.

Lin Qian exhaled, not really expecting a genuine apology from Gu Yan.

"Qianqian, Yanyan has always been like this; considering the hardships she has gone through over the years, can you please not take it to heart?"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Madam Gu’s face as she lowered her stance in front of Lin Qian.

Lin Qian’s lips slightly curved, "Mrs. Gu, I will do my best with the matter I promised you. I really need to leave now."

"Alright, then go take care of your business, I’m waiting for your good news."

Madam Gu didn’t say much else, patted Lin Qian’s hand, and walked to the Gu Family car, where the driver opened the door for her to enter.

The car finally drove away, receding into the distance.

Lin Qian rubbed her temples and took a deep breath.

Should she plead with Moran?

Originally, she wanted to cool down a bit and avoid too much interaction with him!

Shaking her head, Lin Qian feeling annoyed, was just about to use a mobile app to call a taxi, when a car stopped beside her.

The car window was down, and a handsome man’s face appeared under the blurry night lights.

Lin Qian looked up, momentarily startled.

Is that Chu Yelin?

"Manager Lin, get in the car."

Chu Yelin’s thin lips curled slightly, signaling Lin Qian to get in the car.

Lin Qian hesitated briefly, then nodded to Chu Yelin in greeting and pulled open the rear car door to get in.

"How come President Chu didn’t go directly to Meili?"

Lin Qian tucked a stray hair behind her ear, making small talk.

"Perhaps it’s telepathy—he knew Manager Lin hadn’t left, so he came over."

Chu Yelin turned his head to look at Lin Qian, his upturned peach blossom eyes twinkling with amusement.

Lin Qian was startled and her eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

That comment seemed somewhat frivolous.

However, when her gaze swept over the man, perhaps because he was handsome, his expression did not carry any frivolity.

Maybe it was a kind of joke he was used to making.

Lin Qian muttered inwardly, smiled politely at Chu Yelin, and then stopped talking, turning her head to look at the scenery outside.

Chu Yelin’s brow raised slightly, clearly sensing Lin Qian’s aloofness, the interest in his eyes growing stronger.

Recalling what he had just heard, the smile on Chu Yelin’s lips turned slightly cold.

"Manager Lin, you don’t mind chatting, do you? Coincidentally, I heard part of the conversation between you and those three people; those two were..."

"They are Mrs. Gu and her daughter Gu Yan from the Gu Group in Su City."

Lin Qian replied politely.

"Gu Group? Was Manager Lin originally the Gu Group’s heiress?"

Chu Yelin asked with a hooked lip and a smile.

"No, I was switched at birth with the Gu Family’s heiress. The Gu family has shown me kindness in raising me."

"Oh! I see!"

The glint in Chu Yelin’s eyes flickered, "So the Yins are suppressing the Gu Group, and they are using the kindness they showed you to force you to plead with Yin Moran, the president of the Yins?"

Hearing this, Lin Qian glanced at Chu Yelin.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her feeling, but Chu Yelin’s expression seemed a bit cold.

Why?

"By the way, how long does President Chu plan to stay in Su City this time? Is there any new assignment that requires assistance from the store?"

Not wanting to keep the conversation centered on herself, Lin Qian shifted the topic.

Chu Yelin looked at Lin Qian, chuckled lightly, and said, "I might stay in Su City for quite a long time this visit, since I have both business and personal matters to attend to. Speaking of business, indeed, I need your cooperation."

"Is that so? Please feel free to instruct me, President Chu; I am more than happy to serve the company."

Upon hearing that there was business to handle, Lin Qian sat up straight, her ears alert.

"Manager Lin is indeed dedicated."

Chu Yelin teased and smiled, "Two assignments. First, your store is going to host a customer appreciation event soon, and as the manager, you need to come up with a perfect planning proposal. Second, our MXL company is looking to find a new foreign trade apparel import and export agency in the country. Does Manager Lin have any recommendations?"

There were two matters, and Lin Qian thought seriously about them.

The first task wouldn’t be a problem.

As for the second task...

Lin Qian thought it through; the most substantial foreign trade apparel company she knew was the Gu Group.

But now, the Gu Group was being suppressed by the Yins; she wasn’t sure if Chu Yelin would be interested.

However, she still had to try.

If Chu Yelin decided to collaborate with the Gu Group, wouldn’t she be relieved from having to plead with Yin Moran on behalf of the Gu Family?

With this thought, Lin Qian said, "President Chu, I just returned to the country, and I don’t know many capable foreign trade companies. But as far as I remember, the biggest one is the Gu Group. Their management has always had a good reputation in the industry; I think President Chu might consider getting to know them."

"Oh? The Gu Group? Weren’t they just those two..."

Chu Yelin’s eyes flashed with a meaningful gleam, "Alright, I trust your judgment, Manager Lin. Tomorrow, take me to meet their chairman, and if there’s no problem, MXL company’s apparel import-export business in the country could be handled by the Gu Group."
