Everyone was quite surprised by this piece of gossip.

“Is Director still hung up on President Gu, considering she’s going to all this trouble to make herself up?”

“I doubt it, the Director is already married after all. Besides, the Network Head is her father-in-law. I think the Director just can’t let go; she wants President Gu to see her at her best. It’s the same as wanting to look good in front of your ex-boyfriend.”

“I really want to meet President Gu’s ex-wife; she is so badass she can show the Director her true colors. I heard the former First Lady of Shengyuan was a wealthy daughter of the Xia Family, a big star. But after her divorce from President Gu, all her previous reports just evaporated from the face of the earth.”

Suddenly, someone turned to Xia Yangyang who was still buried in her draft, “Yangyang, your last name is Xia too. Could President Gu’s ex-wife be a distant relative of yours?”

She could clearly hear the discussion going on.

...

She had originally intended to deliberately avoid the topic, so she hadn’t participated, just sitting there quietly writing her draft.

But why had the focus suddenly shifted to her?

Xia Yangyang deliberately chuckled, “Let me tell you a secret, that person is actually me.”

Everyone laughed, “Yangyang, you can’t joke like this. Everyone knows you studied abroad. If you were President Gu’s ex-wife, I would be President Gu’s number one mistress.”

Another one agreed, “And I would be the number two mistress.”

“You are quite ‘idiotic’ (a play on words: ‘er’ in Chinese can mean two or an idiot).”

Everyone was joking around as they gossiped.

Xia Yangyang sighed in relief.

She had said this on purpose.

When she said she was Gu Qichen’s ex-wife, they would not believe her.

But she felt she might not be able to keep this secret forever.

When the truth comes out later, at least there will be a way out.

But what Xia Yangyang didn’t understand was,

How did Gu Qichen suddenly end up at the television station?

Had the afternoon’s survey raised some suspicion?

Xia Yangyang sighed in her heart.

Not long after, Lin Yuanyuan came out of the office.

At the same time, Gu Qichen and the Network Head walked into the newsroom.

Lin Yuanyuan flicked her hair and walked over with a serious face.

Upon reaching there, she called, “Dad.”

“Yuanyuan, since you haven’t finished your work yet, it’s fitting, let me introduce you. This is President Gu of Shengyuan Group. We are going to shoot Shengyuan Group’s promotional video this time. I want to hand this task to you, let’s get to know each other.”

Lin Yuanyuan appeared very generous, “Dad, President Gu and I are old acquaintances. No need for introductions.”

After saying this, Lin Yuanyuan turned to Gu Qichen, “President Gu, don’t you agree?”

Gu Qichen’s eyes fell on Lin Yuanyuan. He seemed to be sizing her up.

No wonder Fang Zhengdong said Xia Yangyang was acting so evasive.

Turns out she had bumped into such an “old friend” of a superior.

Gu Qichen smiled, “Miss Lin, of course, I recognize you.”

The Network Head was pleased.

It’s easier to deal with people you know. Shengyuan has its own PR department.

This time giving the video to their station was like a huge windfall.

Lin Yuanyuan said, “President Gu, let me show you our news department. We have the most professional talent and the best equipment. It’s a wise choice entrusting the promotional video to us.”

Gu Qichen seemed as if he had heard but not listened, no response. His gaze swept around the room, finally resting on Xia Yangyang who was sitting down focusing on her draft.
