Gao Zhoulei said, "Today, those people are even more gloating."
"Why?" Shen Mianyin really didn't understand. "He's already clarified the rumors of a marriage alliance with the Hong Kong tycoon's daughter. Why are those people still waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"
"But, President Gu did say he has someone he likes," Gao Zhoulei shook his head. "Although I think the person President Gu is talking about is you, they don't think so."
Shen Mianyin said awkwardly, "Don't speculate."
"Alright!" Gao Zhoulei nodded in agreement, and then continued, "Anyway, they think that even if it's not the Hong Kong tycoon's daughter, the person President Gu likes is probably some wealthy young lady from around here."
"In short, it has nothing to do with me," Shen Mianyin said with a forced laugh.
Gao Zhoulei nodded.
He really hoped that Gu Huaizhi and Shen Mianyin would go public soon and shut those people up.
Although Shen Mianyin didn't say it outright, she couldn't help but feel some anticipation in her heart.
However, she waited all day at the company without receiving any news from Gu Huaizhi.
When she got off work, she happened to meet Lin Jinshan and Xu Huaixiang in the elevator.
However, with so many colleagues present, Lin Jinshan couldn't say anything.
Xu Huaixiang, on the other hand, couldn't suppress the cold, gloating smile at the corner of her mouth.
She really thought Shen Mianyin had found a backer. But what was the result?
Wasn't she just used and then discarded?
After exiting the elevator, Shen Mianyin was heading for the subway station.
Her rent was quite expensive, but her salary plus the commissions from the deals she closed were substantial.
She had originally decided to buy a car.
But now, she had to bear the cost of her mother's medical treatment, so the car purchase plan was put on hold.
She continued to take the crowded subway.
"Mianyin!" Lin Jinshan drove alongside Shen Mianyin on the side of the road. In order to match Shen Mianyin's walking speed, he had to drive very slowly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mianyin asked in surprise.
"Get in, I'll give you a ride home," Lin Jinshan said.
"Is there something you want to say to me?" Otherwise, why would he suddenly offer her a ride?
Lin Jinshan was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Yes."
Shen Mianyin's intuition told her it was about Gu Huaizhi, so she was reluctant to get in the car.
She didn't want to talk about her and Gu Huaizhi with Lin Jinshan or anyone else.
But Lin Jinshan insisted on waiting for her, which was already affecting the cars behind them.
The cars behind began honking their horns incessantly.
Shen Mianyin had no choice but to get in the car.
As she fastened her seatbelt, Lin Jinshan drove off.
Shen Mianyin didn't plan to ask anything.
If Lin Jinshan felt awkward, it would be best if he didn't ask.
But the silence only made things more awkward.
Finally, after more than ten minutes of awkward silence, Lin Jinshan spoke: "I've seen the trending searches from the past two days."
"What trending searches?" Shen Mianyin decided to play dumb.
Lin Jinshan smiled slightly: "Mianyin, you can't play dumb. You're not good at it."
Shen Mianyin remained silent.
"How much do you know about Gu Huaizhi?" Lin Jinshan asked again.
"What do you mean?" Shen Mianyin retorted. "He's just my client. My understanding of him is limited to work matters."
"I think, in terms of work, my understanding of him is as thorough as it needs to be," Shen Mianyin said.
"Is it really just about work?" Lin Jinshan asked.
"I know you care about me," Shen Mianyin said, "but it's really just about work. You don't need to worry."
