Chapter 976: Chapter 980 Fifth Lord of Gu Is Very Satisfied Chapter 976: Chapter 980 Fifth Lord of Gu Is Very Satisfied “He was frad,” Gu Junzhu said, “His na is Han Zuo, the Vice President of Gu Group, whom I recruited at a high salary. He earns ten million a year, plus bonuses and dividends at the end of the year.”
Ye Xingbei asked with interest, “Is he very capable?”
“Of course,” Gu Junzhu said with a chuckle, “His experience was very unfortunate for him, but for , I struck gold.”
The door was knocked again, and Gu Chi brought in a cup of coffee and a glass of juice.
Ye Xingbei took the juice and thanked him with a smile.
Gu Chi chuckled, “You’re welco, Young Madam. If you need anything, just let know.”
After Gu Chi left, Ye Xingbei asked Gu Junzhu curiously, “Why do you say that?”
Gu Junzhu answered, “He’s a genius, like Xiao Yue and Xiao Shu, with a very high IQ and a photographic mory. However, he has one flaw: he’s too trusting of others and lacks a sense of caution.”
Ye Xingbei frowned, “So he got deceived by soone?”
“More or less,” Gu Junzhu sipped his coffee, “He ca from a poor background; when he was a child, his family was so poor that they clanged. He attended school thanks to donations from philanthropists. After he achieved success and fa, he felt that education changed his fate, so he set up a scholarship fund to help students in poverty who needed his support.”
“Isn’t that great?” Ye Xingbei saw him take another sip of coffee, snatched it away, and handed him her juice, “Drink less coffee.”
Gu Junzhu chuckled, didn’t argue with her, took a sip of the juice, and continued, “It’s a good deed, but unfortunately, his luck wasn’t good, and he didn’t et good people.”
Ye Xingbei looked at him, listening attentively.
Gu Junzhu continued, “Among the people he sponsored, there was a female college student who looked especially alike his sister. His parents divorced when he was a child, and his mother remarried with his sister, with no further news. He suspected for a while that the girl might be his sister, so he sent people to investigate.”
“As it turned out, the investigation showed that she was not his sister, but a wealthy heiress. Her family’s business had fallen on hard tis, the company went bankrupt, and her parents died from the stress of debts, leaving her alone. Their assets were frozen, the company was auctioned off, and the wealthy heiress turned into a destitute orphan overnight, unable to even afford her education.”
Ye Xingbei asked, “So Han Zuo sponsored this girl?”
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu nodded, “Not only did he sponsor her, but he also brought her to intern with him and made her his secretary, personally teaching her. He worked in the beauty industry, and it is said that his ancestors were Imperial Physicians in the palace. Although the dical knowledge wasn’t passed down, there’s a beauty formula that did survive in the family.”
“He made it to the top ten in the dostic beauty industry within a few years of graduating from university, earning a high position at a young age, and his career was flourishing.”
“Then, he fell in love with the girl.”
Ye Xingbei’s heart tensed, “Did that girl steal his formula and betray him?”
Gu Junzhu chuckled and brushed her nose tip, “You’re so clever, you’re going to make the storyteller feel unaccomplished, you know?”
Ye Xingbei grabbed his hand and shook it, “Is it true or not?”
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu’s eyes flashed with contempt, and the curve of his lips was sowhat cold, “That woman not only stole Han Zuo’s formula but also added excessive amounts of banned substances to his new product. Overnight, it turned him into the target of public criticism. Han Zuo himself was taken away for investigation, and in the end, he was sentenced to three years in prison.”
“Why?” Ye Xingbei frowned and asked, “Han Zuo was her benefactor! Why would she repay kindness with malice?”
