Chapter 1436: What I like to eat the most at No. 1440
“Be good, don’t get mad, don’t get mad!” Gu Junzhu smiled as he gently stroked her back, like smoothing the fur of a bristling cat. “Lowly people will et their own reckoning. Look at them now, aren’t they already facing karma?”
“Exactly!”
Thinking about how Father Yu said that scumbag had his money swept away, his assets frozen by the bank, and was about to be left with nothing, Ye Xingbei felt particularly vindicated. “Did Yu Mo intentionally avoid their family of three?”
“No,” Gu Junzhu said, “Yu Mo went overseas for a business trip. But even if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t et with them. Yu Mo might seem like a pushover, but he’s actually quite sharp. After I got him out of prison, I arranged for him to study under a renowned ntor. This guy has an IQ of 140— a bona fide genius. His brain works exceptionally well.”
Ye Xingbei was speechless. “Ever since I t you, I feel like geniuses are a di a dozen.”
Gu Junzhu chuckled, “Geniuses are still very valuable. A thousand soldiers are easy to find, but a single great general is hard to co by.”
Ye Xingbei shook her head. “That line really lacks conviction, because you have way too many geniuses around you!”
“That’s because I can spot talent, and I have the ability to bring them under my wing,” Gu Junzhu smiled slyly and looked at her. “Who wouldn’t like geniuses? But most geniuses are arrogant. You need to be soone they respect and admire before they’ll willingly bow their heads and serve.”
“Eww…” Ye Xingbei made a disgusted sound. “Fifth Lord of Gu, you’re praising yourself again!”
“I’m just telling the truth,” Gu Junzhu said with a smile. “After putting Yu Mo through a fast-track program for a while, I placed him as a secretary in the secretarial team. After observing him for so ti, I found him very capable and promoted him to assistant manager, then manager, and then vice president. That guy climbed ranks pretty quickly— he’s the youngest executive in the Gu Group.”
“That’s impressive!” Ye Xingbei propped her chin on her hand, marveling. “But earlier, when you told his parents that he has to work for you for free for fifty years and doesn’t get paid, you were lying to them, weren’t you? What his parents said about his multimillion annual salary and year-end bonuses, that’s the truth, isn’t it?”
Ye Xingbei raised an eyebrow at him, teasing with a half-smile, “Fifth Lord of Gu, you’re so good at lying— so calm, so composed. Looks like I better stay vigilant in case you trick soday!”
“When I first signed the contract with him, it was indeed for fifty years of unpaid work,” Gu Junzhu said. “Later, the multimillion annual salary and the bonuses were rewards I gave him, not formal wages. If one day he displeases , I can still make him work without pay. So strictly speaking, I wasn’t lying.”
Ye Xingbei pouted. “Fine, actually, for dealing with people like Yu Mo’s parents, your approach works pretty well. Saying Yu Mo works for free and doesn’t make any money— let’s see how they’ll try to get money out of him now!”
Gu Junzhu shook his head and laughed softly. “Shaless people will always test the limits of your understanding of humanity. They won’t leave Yu Mo alone. They’ll definitely look for him again.”
“I know,” Ye Xingbei snorted. “They’re just hoping to leech off Yu Mo now that he’s doing well! They don’t even think about how they treated him before. Why on earth should Yu Mo help them?”
“Don’t worry,” Gu Junzhu gave her a reassuring pat. “Yu Mo is very clever, and he’s completely severed ties with that family. He won’t suffer any losses. Rest assured.”
“Mm,” Ye Xingbei tilted her face up to look at him, her finger poking lightly at his chest. “With soone like you as his boss, what do I have to worry about? Our Fifth Master Gu eats anything— just not losses, right?”
“You know that well?” Gu Junzhu chuckled lowly, pressing her beneath him and planting a kiss. “Then, my darling, tell — what’s my favorite thing to eat?”
