nScheming as Always

nWhen Song Ling came out of the hospital room, his face could hardly conceal his exhaustion.

nWhen he was with Gu Dai, she had always taken care of him. Sometimes, even without speaking, just a glance from him, and Gu Dai would hand over exactly what he wanted.

nJust now, in the hospital room, he felt a headache, but no one was there to massage it for him. Moreover, he had to take care of Jiang Yue. The more Song Ling thought about this, the more his head hurt.

nRealizing what he was thinking, Song Ling quickly shook his head, trying to shake the thoughts out of his mind!

nHe didn’t understand why he thought of Gu Dai, that woman, again? Moreover, he even compared her with Jiang Yue, the most dazzling person in his heart!

nIs someone born in a slum worthy of comparison?

nZhao Xuan was startled when he saw Song Ling’s movement and hesitated, not sure whether he should approach him now.

nIn the end, due to the importance of the matter, he mustered up his courage and walked over, speaking softly, “President Song.”

n“What’s the matter, Assistant Zhao?” Seeing Zhao Xuan, Song Ling’s movements stiffened for a moment, then he collected his emotions and returned to his usual cold demeanor.

nZhao Xuan said, “President Song, I just received the news that the young lady of the Gu family, who was involved in the cruise ship accident three years ago, has returned alive.”

nThe cruise ship explosion three years ago was widely known, and it was even more so for the young lady of the Gu family from the Gu Group, who was also on the cruise ship. But now, she had unexpectedly come back.

n“Resurrected from the dead, huh? Quite interesting.” Song Ling said as he raised his head, looking at the pitch-black sky, and murmured, “It seems that there will be a change in the Gu family.”

n“President Song, should we continue our cooperation with the Gu Group?” Zhao Xuan asked, handing over the documents related to the cooperation with the Gu Group to Song Ling.

nThere were almost a hundred collaborations between the Song and Gu groups, but they were all signed when the old president of the Gu Group, the father of the young lady of the Gu family, was still alive. At that time, the prospects were very promising.

nHowever, since their accident and the company being taken over by Gu Ming a few years later, although it seemed to be still prosperous on the surface, its internal affairs were not doing well. Song Ling had originally planned to stop the cooperation once this term ended, but now the situation had changed.

nAfter pondering for a moment, Song Ling spoke, “Let’s wait for a few more days and see what happens next.”

nZhao Xuan replied, “Yes.”

nSong Ling glanced through the documents, then suddenly thought of something and turned to Zhao Xuan to ask, “Did we get a response to the email inviting XY for the tech project collaboration?”

n“Not yet.” Zhao Xuan was familiar with the answer to this question since President Song asked him about it almost every month.

nSong Ling nodded and said, “Send it again. Maybe they were too busy and received too many emails, and ours got buried.”

nPausing for a moment, Song Ling continued, “Do you have anything else to report to me?”

nZhao Xuan was taken aback by Song Ling’s sudden inquiry, as he had nothing else to say.

nHowever, just as he was about to say that, he saw Song Ling’s cold gaze and had a sudden inspiration.

nZhao Xuan hurriedly reported, “There is one more thing, it’s about the madam…”

nBefore Zhao Xuan could finish, Song Ling interrupted, “Did that woman change her mind after signing the papers and refuse to give them to Li Ming? I knew she was just pretending to be carefree in front of me!”

nAs Song Ling spoke, Zhao Xuan’s face turned paler and paler.

nHe was afraid that what he was about to say would make President Song hold a grudge against him…

nEven though Zhao Xuan didn’t want to say it, he had to force himself, “No, President Song. Lawyer Li Ming said that Madam handed the documents to him very readily. If everything goes well, you can divorce Madam tomorrow.”

nAs Zhao Xuan spoke, his voice became lower and lower, because he saw Song Ling’s face getting gloomier and gloomier.

nSong Ling was extremely upset. He didn’t expect Gu Dai to have no lingering feelings for him at all.

nImpossible! She must be trying to attract my attention through this tactic of her!

nHaha, Gu Dai is as scheming as ever.

nAfter he convinced himself of this point, he said, in a cold voice, “I hope she can still be so resolute when we are divorcing tomorrow.”

nAt this moment, Zhao Xuan wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. After all, knowing such a big private matter of President Song, he was afraid that he might be fired tomorrow for stepping into the company with his left foot first.
