Sure, here is the English translation:

Old Brother said this, and the secretary general laughed: "How could that be, you are in your prime, just at the time in a man’s life when he’s most charismatic. Your status is unparalleled, it’s perfectly normal for women to admire you."

Old Brother Bo gave him a sideways glance: "Jingchuan, your working ability has been consistently high for a decade, but your ability to flatter people has improved significantly in such a short time."

The secretary general immediately said: "I learned it all from you."

Old Brother Bo gave a faint smile: "I remember I haven’t been flattering anyone lately."

"Yes, well, Little Gu." Secretary Wang said quickly, regretting it as soon as the words left his mouth. Sure enough, not long after, Old Brother Bo, who has a short temper, flung a toothbrush over.

The secretary general ran off, holding his head.

After a moment, King Jingyao emerged from the restroom, looking much better, and the secretary general thought internally, that’s right, Little Gu is King Sir’s source of happiness, just won’t admit it, what he says doesn’t match what he does.

King Jingyao sat directly on the couch this time, looked at his phone, and raised his head: "Don’t make a big deal about tomorrow’s discharge, it’s better to be low-key, no need to notify anyone outside of our circle."

Wang Jingchuan nodded: "Alright, then let’s arrange it earlier, around seven in the morning, no one will know, we’ll slip out quietly." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He thought for a bit and asked, "Are you heading back to the villa or going to the office?"

King Jingyao put down what he was holding and spoke calmly: "To the office, I haven’t been around lately, and Min Xin is under pressure. If I don’t go, they’ll be causing chaos."

Wang Jingchuan’s expression grew slightly solemn, he nodded: "Alright, I’ll arrange it."

King Jingyao then said no more, and the secretary general asked: "And about the banquet tomorrow night, your plan is..."

The superior lifted his head: "I’ll attend for a while, sit briefly."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Wang’s smile turned peculiar, "You might not be able to escape, an opening dance is necessary, right? At that time, Dr. Jiang will certainly want you to act as half the male host, what will you do?"

King Jingyao fiddled with his hands: "Is she going to eat me?"

The secretary general laughed again: "Dr. Jiang wouldn’t eat you, but she’s invited the four big families, and more... Miss Lin Hua and her fiancé. Dr. Jiang plans to ascend to the elite circle with this banquet, and you are her guide. Whether you like it or not, everyone sees you and Dr. Jiang as tied together, unless you don’t want that project."

Old Brother Bo frowned: "Is it really that serious? Also, what did you say, Lin Hua is going too?"

Isn’t this a mess?

The secretary general chuckled: "Yes, Miss Lin is also coming, and her fiancé Feng Sheng, the lawyer, will be there too. I see Dr. Jiang greatly wishes for you to give up, hence such arrangements."

Old Brother Bo grumbled discontentedly: "What thoughts would I have? If I had any thoughts, could they be influenced by Feng Sheng? But wait, is that Little Bastard going? Isn’t she always at odds with Jiang Chaoge, how could she be willing to give face?"

The secretary general smiled: "No matter the time and place, Little Gu won’t ever let others steal the spotlight."

Old Brother Bo was speechless for a while, then suddenly nodded: ’You do have a point.’

...

Meanwhile, Gu Anxi sat in the office of Cloud He Group, as Old Ma and Old Wang, the day shift employees, reported their work, their eyes gleamed as they looked at their boss, especially Manager Ma, who swallowed his saliva: "Little Gu, you’re going to attend the Jiang Family banquet tomorrow night?"

Gu Anxi put down the invitation card, and said with indifference: "Yes, is there a problem?"

Manager Ma showed a longing face: "I heard this banquet will be grand beyond comparison, and the Jiang Family has spent a lot of money, nearly all Beicheng elites will be attending, and Mr. Wang will be discharged tomorrow to support this event too."

He lowered his voice again, "Is the gossip about Mr. Wang and Dr. Jiang real?"

"It is real, Dr. Jiang has visited Mr. Wang’s home to be filial to the parents. The marriage is near." Gu Anxi calmly replied, with her eyes subtly scanning around.

Manager Ma was even more excited: "A childhood friend from the newspaper has been wanting to ask me if this is true. If it is, he dares to write. With Little Gu’s word, I will boldly release the scoop."

At this point, Manager Wang looked surprised.

Then he sighed, thinking Old Ma is truly muddled; Little Gu is usually so clever and mischievous, how would she casually leak information? Getting you to leak is knowing what you’re about, it’s about using you as a mouthpiece, and once the story of Dr. Jiang and Mr. Wang spreads everywhere, when Mr. Wang doesn’t want to marry, for sure he will find someone to vent...

However, seeing Manager Ma’s excitement, he found it both amusing and pitiful.

Wanting to play mind games with Little Gu, it’s still too early for that.

Manager Wang clearly saw through it, yet Manager Ma was overly excited, and as soon as he left the office, he called his old classmate: "Okay, got accurate info, it’s true... I’ll disclose more, it’s already at the meeting the parents stage, and Dr. Jiang now stays at the elderly’s house, very considerate in daily living."

Manager Wang pressed the elevator button, and upon hearing this was startled: "Old Ma, your embellishing is too much, Little Gu didn’t exactly say this."

Manager Ma put away his phone, smiling and patting Manager Wang’s shoulder, "Old Wang, you don’t know this, do you? That’s how media always works, especially about rumors, write them exaggeratedly, otherwise readers wouldn’t like nor generate heat?"

Manager Wang hesitated to reveal the truth.

At that moment, the elevator door opened, and Manager Ma patted Manager Wang’s shoulder again; "Come on, let’s have a drink! Every time Little Gu calls us out, I feel immense pressure, need to relax a bit."

Manager Wang agreed, as that’s certainly true. Little Gu doesn’t often come to the company, but each time she does, they both feel like they’ve lost a layer of skin. The bonuses are high, but frankly... can’t relax for a moment.

In the office, Gu Anxi picked up the invitation card again, and laughed.

Jiang Chaoge wants prestige, and she’ll give it to her, give her attention, and at the same time push the marriage, when that old man doesn’t want to marry yet finds it hard to refuse, it must be quite exciting.

She drove back to Si Garden, and upon returning, received a message.

It’s not from others, it was sent by King Jingyao.

Only a few words —

I’m being discharged tomorrow.

Gu Anxi quietly looked at those words, blinked lightly, with a bit of water in her eyes.

After all this commotion, nobody is feeling good.

King Jingyao has his stance, she has hers, and her uncle has his.

She is very clear, her uncle got this project mostly to maintain the Bo Family’s status, a good part of it for academic reasons, whereas academically, her uncle could take his time...
