At the Gu Corporation.
The company's employees had never seen Gu Hecheng personally bring a woman to work. Thus, when they saw the pitiful Lin Jinya with exquisite makeup, they looked at each other, and their eyes were full of gossip.
"Jinyang, you can just be my assistant." Gu Hecheng spoke to Lin Jinya in a gentle manner that he had never shown in front of the employees. Then, he turned to the employees and said, "This is your new colleague, Lin Jinya. Get to know her."
As soon as Lin Jinya left with Gu Hecheng, many women in the company gathered in groups of twos and threes.
"Wow, she must be one of President Gu's connections."
"Yeah, maybe she's Mrs. President."
"Looks like we have to be more careful in the future and suck up to him more often."
Gu Hecheng briefly introduced the company to Lin Jinya, but Lin Jinya's attention was focused on the discussions behind her.
Lin Jinya was very satisfied with the flattering words that she heard clearly. She smiled smugly and looked at Gu Hecheng's calm and arrogant side profile.
It seemed that she had chosen this man well!
The news that Gu Hecheng personally brought a woman to the company and arranged for her to be by his side quickly spread throughout the company. Almost everyone was talking about it during their lunch break.
However, as the news spread, someone would eventually find a loophole.
A female employee who was fetching water at the water dispenser looked at the photo handed to her and frowned. She was deep in thought.
"Something doesn't feel right." The woman took a sip of water and her eyes suddenly lit up. She patted her forehead and said, "That's not right. I know that President Gu is married. I met them by chance in the past. President Gu's wife is not this woman. She's much prettier."
"Are you sure?" The woman's companion looked at her in surprise. "I heard from someone who saw them that there was something going on between them. Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" The woman stared at her with bright eyes. "Could she be a lover? A mistress? "
"Wow, this is too explosive." The other woman quickly covered her mouth and said carefully. However, the gossipy look in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
Gossip always spread faster than serious news. In the afternoon, when Lin Jinya passed by the corner of the office, she heard three women secretly talking about her.
She originally thought that they were envious and praising her, but she didn't expect that they were actually mocking her.
"I didn't expect that mistresses nowadays are so powerful. They actually openly joined the company."
"Yeah, I wonder if he'll still be so flamboyant in front of the president's first wife."
"Pa!" Lin Jinya threw the thin stack of things in her hands onto the desk and pointed at them. "You gossipy women. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongues?!"
Among the female colleagues who were gossiping, one of them was straightforward. She didn't know what was going on and just thought that Lin Jinya was no different from other mistresses. Therefore, she said sarcastically, "Wow, you haven't even been promoted yet and you're already so arrogant. If you really become the president's first wife, who knows how arrogant you'll be!"
"You …" Lin Jinya's finger almost poked the other woman's eyes. "If I really become the president's first wife, the first thing I'll do is fire you …"
Before she could finish speaking, the other woman laughed. "Then don't even think about it. I don't think you can become the president's first wife."
"You …" Lin Jinya raised her hand and was about to slap her. However, the other woman was quite strong. Not only did she catch her hand, but she also pried her hand away.
Seeing that it was three against one, Lin Jinya had no chance of winning. She glared at the woman fiercely, grabbed the stack of documents, and rushed straight to Gu Hecheng's office.
Gu Hecheng, who was buried in the documents, saw Lin Jinya's sullen face. He put down the contract in his hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Hmph," Lin Jinya pursed her lips deliberately, stomped her feet, and looked at Gu Hecheng reproachfully.
Gu Hecheng stood up from his desk. "Are you not used to the work on your first day in the company?"
"No!" Lin Jinya pursed her lips, sniffed, and said with grievance, "I brought this stack of documents for you just now, but I ran into three women who gathered together to humiliate me and deliberately embarrass me!"
"Huh?" Gu Hecheng frowned. He did not expect such a small group of people to have bad habits in his company. "What did they say?"
Lin Jinya deliberately added fuel to the fire. As she spoke, she secretly looked at Gu Hecheng's expression. "What else could they say? They said that I am your mistress, that I am your mistress, that I am your mistress, that I have seen your wife, and that I should stop dreaming of being the president's wife!"
"Hecheng!" Seeing that Gu Hecheng's eyes darkened, Lin Jinya stepped forward and grabbed Gu Hecheng's arm. "Actually, I don't care whether I can be the president's wife or not, but if I choose you, you can't let me be humiliated like this. If you really want to give me a status, you should divorce Shen Qianqian as soon as possible! "
"…" Gu Hecheng did not understand why he hesitated for a moment after hearing Lin Jinya's words.
"Hecheng, it seems that you still care about Shen Qianqian. I'd better leave then. I won't be an eyesore in front of you."
Lin Jinya had already made up her mind to force Gu Hecheng.
As expected, when Lin Jinya turned around, Gu Hecheng pulled her into his arms.
"Okay, I got it. I will go back and tell Shen Qianqian." Gu Hecheng patted Lin Jinya's back comfortingly. Lin Jinya buried her face in his chest, a sly look in her eyes.
"I won't be going to your place today." Lin Jinya put away her anger and said to Gu Hecheng in a pitiful tone, "It's only the first day and people are already gossiping. I don't want people to misunderstand. Let's keep a distance."
Lin Jinya knew that distance made the heart grow fonder. She wanted to take this opportunity to see how much Gu Hecheng liked her. The more desperate he was, the sooner he would divorce Shen Qianqian.
"Okay." Gu Hecheng relaxed his tense shoulders and actually felt a sense of relief in his heart.
The evening wind blew gently. The iron gate of the garden villa opened slowly. Gu Hecheng saw that the room upstairs was dark, so he unconsciously quickened his steps.
"Where is Shen Qianqian?" Gu Hecheng came downstairs and questioned Mother Liu sternly.
Mother Liu, who was busy with her work, lowered her head. A look of panic flashed across her eyes. After a while, she looked up and said to Gu Hecheng calmly, "Madam … went to the temple to pray."
"Pray?" Gu Hecheng frowned. He did not know that Shen Qianqian had this habit. "Which temple did she go to?"
