I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 56 - : Is Mi Chen Going to Have a CEO’s Wife?

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Is Mi Chen Going to Have a CEO’s Wife?

Huo Shiyuan dropped off Yuan Xi at the entrance to Michen Building. Because Xiao Shihuo had to go to school, Yuan Xi arrived a good half an hour early, and the two receptionists in the lobby had just arrived.

“President Yuan, President Yuan!”

Yuan Xi heard the receptionist’s voice and approached, “What’s the matter?”

While watering the fortune tree on the desk, the receptionist said, “President Yuan, Mr. Gu made it to the trending searches again. Paparazzi caught him leaving Jiangye last night with a girl. The girl was sitting in Mr. Gu’s passenger seat, smiling so wide she couldn’t close her mouth, looking very happy. Does that mean we’re about to have a CEO’s wife soon?”

Yuan Xi leaned in to look at the trending searches on the receptionist’s phone. Wasn’t that Liang Suisui, who was smiling so wide even her back teeth were showing?

The paparazzi had originally gone to get a shot of a top male celebrity’s scandal, but instead caught Gu Hanchen and posted it online.

As the CEO of Michen, Gu Hanchen was no stranger to online attention.

Yuan Xi said, “No, that’s a friend of mine in the photo.”

“I thought we were about to have a CEO’s wife.”

Yuan Xi then went to the fifty-eighth floor. In the secretary’s office, several had arrived early to work and were quizzing her about the gossip concerning Gu Hanchen.

Sitting in the corner, Ren Tian was all ears. She was coming to work the next day, and if Gu Hanchen really had a girlfriend, wouldn’t her effort to go to work early be in vain?

Yuan Xi’s gaze shifted toward Ren Tian, noting her shirt’s top three buttons undone and frowned slightly, but said nothing after all, as Michen had always practiced a policy of freedom in attire.

Yuan Xi returned to her own office where the gossip group was buzzing about Liang Suisui trending.

Liang Suisui had stayed up all night and was now fast asleep.

“President Yuan.”

Yuan Xi looked up at the door to see Zhong Xiaoyi knocking, “What’s going on?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “President Yuan, I’m having trouble understanding some of the data on these forms… Could you give me some guidance?”

Yuan Xi chuckled, “Come on over.”

As Zhong Xiaoyi approached, Yuan Xi smelled a strong scent of alcohol on her. Already plagued by severe morning sickness, she threw up straight into the trash can and took a while to rinse her mouth before she felt better.

“Xiao Yi, the work at Michen is actually quite busy, especially now that you are Mr. Gu’s secretary, and in many cases, you have to be available 24/7. This is the nature of your job. Even if it’s not during your working hours, it’s best if you don’t indulge in heavy drinking. If you must, having a few light drinks is alright, but after all, alcohol isn’t something to mess with…”

Zhong Xiaoyi said quietly, “President Yuan, the smell of alcohol on me is from taking care of Mr. Gu early this morning, I should have taken a shower before coming to work, I’m sorry.”

Yuan Xi remembered that Zhong Xiaoyi’s mother was Gu Hanchen’s housekeeper, and Zhong Xiaoyi lived with her mother at Gu Hanchen’s place. It was inevitable that she would have to look after him when he got drunk.

Yuan Xi had seen Zhong Xiaoyi helping her mother take care of Gu Hanchen when she was his secretary.

“Did he drink after sending Liang Suisui home last night?”

Zhong Xiaoyi nodded, “Yes, he drank at home with Junior President Chu, both of them got very drunk.”

Yuan Xi thought no wonder Chu Lin had sent her that strange message in the morning, he was probably drunk.

Today, Michen received numerous calls from the media, most of which were inquiring whether Gu Hanchen was nearing a happy event.

It was not only the media. After ten, Mrs. Gu also came to Michen Building.

The Gu Family didn’t think much of the game company Gu Hanchen had created, and the elders from the Gu Family seldom visited Michen.

Mrs. Gu asked, “Yuan Xi, where’s Gu Hanchen?”

Yuan Xi responded with a light smile, “Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu usually arrives at work around eleven or twelve at noon. I heard he was drinking late last night. He might come to the office after one.”

Mrs. Gu patted Yuan Xi’s hand and said, “It’s really thanks to you that Michen has reached its current scale. Do you know where he lives now?”

“He lives over there at Jiangjing No.1, not far from here.”

Mrs. Gu asked Yuan Xi, “Is it convenient for you? If it is, can you take me there?”

Yuan Xi nodded and led Mrs. Gu to Jiangjing No.1. When they arrived at Gu Hanchen’s house, Yuan Xi skillfully entered the password.

Once inside the house, Mrs. Zhong was cleaning up the living room, with wine bottles scattered all over the floor and the expensive leather sofa stained with red wine. “Miss Yuan, Mrs. Gu.”

Seeing the scattered wine bottles, Mrs. Gu got so angry she felt a throbbing pain in her temples. “His Michen going public? It’s really thanks to my annual temple visits to burn incense and pray.”

Yuan Xi: “…”

Mrs. Gu walked to the bedroom door, saw that it was unlocked, and opened it, only to be greeted by the stench of alcohol. She disdainfully pulled open the curtains and opened the windows.

Yuan Xi held back her nausea as she looked towards Gu Hanchen’s bed, and it was obvious there was someone in Gu Hanchen’s bed.

Mrs. Gu also saw and what was once disdain turned into a light laugh, “Wow, this boy is something else, telling us he’s too young and too busy with work, in no rush to find a girlfriend and get married, even claiming that having a girlfriend would only slow down his money-making, but here he is, sharing a bed with someone.”

Yuan Xi felt it was not good to pry into others’ privacy and was about to persuade Mrs. Gu to leave so as not to embarrass the girl, when she then saw the face of the person holding Gu Hanchen in sleep…

Mrs. Gu saw the handsome, attractive face too and felt a surge of emotion, so much that she felt dizzy and collapsed onto a small sofa nearby.

“Aiyo, aiyo! My head is spinning! Yang Ying is still in the hospital, what should I do now?”

As she spoke, Mrs. Gu didn’t forget to take out her phone to snap a photo, “Aiyo, aiyo, I need to go to the hospital too.”

Their commotion woke the two people in the bed.

Chu Lin opened his eyes to see Yuan Xi before him, his brows slightly furrowed.

Gu Hanchen noticed Yuan Xi and gently touched his temple, “Nothing’s gone wrong with Michen again, has it? You’re here so early to get me.”

Mrs. Gu sharply said, “A big deal? What could be more important than you and Chu Lin being together? When did you two start? No wonder, a beauty like Yuan Xi has been around you for five years and you’ve shown no interest, it turns out you fancy Chu Lin!”

Mrs. Gu clutched her head, “In this day and age, I can accept it if it’s true love… but can your father and Uncle Chu accept this kind of true love? Oh, my head feels so dizzy…”

Eventually, Gu Hanchen noticed Chu Lin beside him and exclaimed, “What the hell, how did you end up on my bed?”

“Chu Lin, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!” Gu Hanchen moved away on the bed.

Chu Lin explained, “I was drunk last night, and I vaguely remember your maid helping me here. Aunt Gu, please don’t misunderstand; Chu Lin and I are nothing but clean brothers.”

Gu Hanchen also hurried to clarify, “Yes, Mom, it’s a misunderstanding. Don’t overthink it; I like women.”

Mrs. Gu took out her phone and opened the photo sent to her in a trending search.

“Gu Hanchen, what’s going on with you and this girl? It’s the first time you’ve been caught leaving Jiangye with another girl, her reputation could be affected by your actions, and if you really like women, then you should settle down and marry her.”

Gu Hanchen responded, “Mom, how does playing cards together threaten anyone’s reputation? The girl in this picture is Yuan Xi’s friend, Liang Suisui. She said last night that her family has only one daughter and only accepts sons-in-law, I surely can’t go and be a son-in-law in her family, can I?”

Mrs. Gu replied, “That’s not necessarily a bad thing, I’m not some antique who insists on carrying on the Gu family name. The girl’s surname is Liang, and I think it sounds quite nice to have a grandson with the last name Liang.”

Gu Hanchen: “…”

Mrs. Gu turned to Yuan Xi and said, “Since she’s your friend, I trust her character. Anyone who can be friends with you can’t be bad. Can you help set this up?”

Chu Lin frowned slightly upon hearing Mrs. Gu’s words and for some reason felt a pang of discomfort, glancing at Yuan Xi with a look that suggested she should not agree.

Yuan Xi saw Chu Lin’s furrowed brow; he probably thought that a girl from a village like hers wouldn’t be a match for Gu Hanchen.

Out of courtesy, Yuan Xi replied to Mrs. Gu, “Okay, I’ll try.”
