The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“Gu Juexi practices tai chi? How idle,” said the man in the dark. His voice echoed in the house, making his real voice unidentifiable.

“What do we do next?” asked the bodyguard.

“Now we wait. The show has just begun. Tell that old man that Gu Juexi already had his hands on what happened back then. Tell him to get ready for what is coming,” said the man as he toyed with a string of telescopic beads in his hand.

The bodyguard nodded and turned to leave the room. Before he left, he heard the person in the dark say to him, “the conviction itself was not the scary part. It was the suspense while waiting for death, and waiting for what you did in the past to be discovered and criticized by others.”

The room fell into silence again after the bodyguard left the house, and the distant echo of the man’s voice was the only sound.

Meanwhile at Shennongjia, Gu Juexi was in the room video conferencing PA Wen who was supposed to be on holiday.

“The tender for Xin Cheng Energy is close to its final stage, but many tenders have changed their proposed amount. Rumor has it that the tenderers have spread information that the proposed amounts would normally be higher than the market price by 30%, and any amount more than that would be a loss for Xin Cheng Energy,” PA Wen frowned. On his table were stacks and stacks of tender documents.

“What does Xiao Yaojing think about this?” Gu Juexi leaned back in his chair and asked.

“What?” PA Wen became confused. What did this have to do with Xiao Yaojing?

“Why don’t you take this chance? She works in a bank so I am sure she is better at numbers than you are. She should be able to tell if this is a profitable business,” Gu Juexi looked at PA Wen and said.

“But she doesn’t work for us,” said PA instantly.

“I think we have problems communicating,” Gu Juexi said finally and ended the video conference. He can’t believe that man dared to criticize him all the time. Just look at him!

Ye Yuwei heard them when she entered the room to tell Gu Juexi that dinner was ready.

Good lord! It was finally this man’s turn to give someone love lessons.

“Time for dinner,” said Ye Yuwei.

Gu Juexi looked at the documents that PA Wen had just emailed him and nodded without looking up. “You go ahead, I will join you after this.”

“What is it that even PA Wen couldn’t handle?” Ye Yuwei went forward and asked curiously.

“Xin Cheng Energy. The company leaked some information and the tenderers were all going mad jacking up their proposed amounts,” said Gu Juexi as he showed Ye Yuwei the documents.

“It shouldn’t be blindly relied on just because the information was from the company itself. Maybe they did it on purpose for the increase? Should everyone be knowing that gimmick already? Why would they jack up the prices blindly?” Ye Yuwei grabbed the mouse and skimmed through the numbers.

Gu Juexi leaned back in his chair and looked at the woman reading the documents.

How pleasing his woman was.

“Xin Cheng Energy will definitely be at a loss if their development worth is only eighteen billion. PA Wen should pick that up.” Ye Yuwei skimmed through all the numbers and looked up at Gu Juexi, only to see him bending over to peck her on the lips affectionately.

Ye Yuwei was speechless at Gu Juexi’s sneak attack.

“Let’s go have dinner,” Gu Juexi stood up and walked past Ye Yuwei as if he hadn’t just succeeded in stealing a kiss.
