"A friend's... Right, darling, you're going to be busy again in a few days," Lin Xiao suddenly said.
"What?"
Luó Qīnghán was taken aback by Lin Xiao's words. She immediately asked, "What have you done now? My company is already swamped with work, and I can barely manage it."
"It's nothing. I'm just having you take over a few companies. My friend just told me he's too busy to handle some of his businesses and wants to hand them over to me directly. When he said that, I thought, 'How could I possibly manage them?' So I told him I'd have you handle them," Lin Xiao said nonchalantly.
"No, that's..."
Luó Qīnghán immediately objected, "How can that be! I already have so much on my plate. I won't be able to manage your friend's companies too!"
"It's fine, it's fine. You'll have a CEO who comes with them, so it'll be alright," Lin Xiao quickly reassured her.
"Oh..."
Luó Qīnghán found this puzzling. She couldn't understand why a company with its own CEO would be transferred to her. It was like a handout.
Could it be related to the Lin family's old businesses?
Two days later, as Luó Qīnghán looked at the contracts before her, she opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
Were these the companies her "friend" Lin Xiao had mentioned?
These were all the businesses of the Gu family!
And the man sitting in front of her was Gu Tingyún, the head of the Gu family!
"Mr. Gu, what is this..." she asked with a bewildered expression. She genuinely hadn't expected this. She knew people from the Gu family, mainly because of Gu Ming.
"As per Doctor Ming's instructions, all of the Gu family's businesses are here... This is all of the Gu family's liquid assets, and here is a resume for a job application," Gu Tingyún said to Luó Qīnghán without any arrogance, placing all the documents he had prepared on the table.
The Gu family's assets were all ready to be transferred to Luó Qīnghán's name.
"Additionally, here is a lease agreement that I drafted. My elders are getting old and don't want to move, so I hope they can continue living in their current home. I will pay market-rate rent," Gu Tingyún had meticulously planned everything.
Luó Qīnghán blinked and looked at the contracts. She quickly said, "Mr. Gu, I don't know what you discussed with Doctor Ming, but there's no need to go this far. I don't want these houses, cars, or anything else..."
Even though she was accustomed to being a cold-faced CEO, she had never encountered anything like this. She felt a bit flustered.
"This is an agreement, for my daughter."
Gu Tingyún did not accept Luó Qīnghán's kindness.
"..."
Luó Qīnghán had heard that Gu Ming was hospitalized and in critical condition. She had only recently recovered from the danger. Was it Doctor Ming who had treated her?
She had also heard of Doctor Ming.
However, Doctor Ming had always been a wanderer. Earlier, she had heard that Doctor Ming had arrived in Shashi.
"Ms. Luo, please sign the contract... If possible, I would like to request an advance on one month's salary," Gu Tingyún, having relinquished everything according to the agreement, was now penniless and naturally needed an advance.
"Yes, of course," Luó Qīnghán quickly nodded.
