MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 12 Episode 17

He scoffed and immediately went to give the bureau chief a call.

After some time.

The bureau chief arrived.

“Chief, they’re inside. Look.”

The bureau chief scoffed at him with an extremely displeased expression.

No one knew what happened inside either. They only saw the bureau chief come out not long after and say to Gu Jingze, “Have a good rest. We won’t disturb you any longer. We will definitely put that problematic restaurant in order. Similar incidents do happen in the tourist areas, but there aren’t many of them. Don’t worry. We will definitely form a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate such scams in one go. Rest well, rest well.”

No one knew what exactly was going on. They merely saw the bureau chief hastily leave from the room. The moment he came out, he immediately waved his hand and said, “What do you do all the time? I can’t believe such restaurants that rip people off still exist. All of you, go and bring them under control. You don’t have to do anything else this month. Regulate every single restaurant that does this. I’ll carry out an inspection after a month. If such restaurants are still around, each one of you will be fired.”

The row of people left hurriedly.

Inside, Gu Jingze asked Lin Che, “Do you still want to stay here tonight?”

“Yes. Isn’t this place quite nice?”

Gu Jingze said, “Alright. I’ll get someone to go in and tidy the place up.”

He instructed some people to go in and disinfect the area. He felt that there was a lot of human traffic in a hotel like this that was located in such tourist areas. Their sterilization process was possibly not very thorough.

Gu Jingze took Lin Che inside only after everything was done.

That night, there was also an appealing song and dance performance being held in the hotel. Because Lin Che had nothing to do either, she went down to watch it with Gu Jingze accompanying her. During the performance, the female boss also personally took to the stage. According to the people here, she was a very well-loved and fairly famous singer. She had used the money she had earned from singing to open this pretty pleasant inn, which had attracted numerous people. It was so expensive precisely because she was famous.

They watched from where they were as the woman walked around and sang to each person in the audience down below. When she reached Gu Jingze, she smiled and looked at Gu Jingze with a flirtatious gaze. She also placed the flower garland around his neck nicely.

Gu Jingze said, “Thank you.” He took off the flower garland and gave it to Lin Che beside him.

The female boss was slightly disappointed. She glanced at him quietly before walking away.

Lin Che thought to herself in disbelief. Seriously, he attracted women no matter where he went.

Gu Jingze was really not suited to go outside.

Lin Che and Gu Jingze returned after they finished watching the performance.

She looked at the flower garland while walking and said, “Here. She gave this to you.”

Gu Jingze said, “What’s mine is yours. It’s for you too.”

Lin Che giggled and said, “Dear me. Traveling is quite tiring too. I’m so sleepy.”

Gu Jingze said, “Then go and sleep.”

In reality, this was not considered traveling at all. She had not really explored the place.

But her body began to feel a little heavy. She had experienced many things today and felt a bit tired.

In no time, she lay down to rest. She looked at Gu Jingze. “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Gu Jingze said, “I’ll sleep a little later. I still have to go out and settle some work matters.”

Lin Che asked, “Did you toss aside a lot of work in coming here so suddenly?”

“Not really.”

However, just then.

Gu Jingze suddenly heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

“Sir, Secretary Lan is here.”

Lin Che froze.

Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes. “Just tell her to go and work alone.”

His subordinate replied, “Secretary Lan says that she will keep waiting for you until she sees you.”

Gu Jingze scowled.

Lin Che said, “In that case, go and meet her. It’s bad to make her wait.”

Gu Jingze drew in a breath and glanced at Lin Che. “Alright. In any case, she has been in Gu Industries for so many years.”

“…”

Was he actually going?

Lin Che watched as Gu Jingze left. Sitting on her bed, she cursed, “What a pig brain.”

Since Gu Jingze had actually gone, Lin Che was getting angry again.

In actual fact, Gu Jingze merely wanted to make himself clear. But he did not tell Lin Che that.

Upon seeing Gu Jingze, Secretary Lan immediately said, “President Gu, I know that I made a mistake. I’ve lived in S City for so many years. I’ve seen this branch grow too. I don’t want to go to Austria. I want to stay here and strive.”

Secretary Lan knew that Gu Jingze still cherished old relationships. After so many years, the people closest to him had not changed at all. If not for the incident involving her, she would probably stay here for a very long time too.

Gu Jingze looked at Secretary Lan. “If you don’t go to Austria, I’ll choose another place for you. How about Dubai?”

“I… I won’t go, President Gu…”

“In that case, South Africa.”

“President Gu…” Two streams of clear tears rolled down Secretary Lan’s face. “I was truly wrong. Because I’ve been with you for so many years, give me a chance.”

Gu Jingze scoffed. “Leave, Secretary Lan. It looks like your relationship with Gu Industries has come to an end. Since you don’t want to stay, you can leave.”

Gu Jingze waved his hand. “Take her away. I don’t want to see her anywhere in Gu Industries.”

“I… I… President Gu, I beg you…”

Nevertheless, Secretary Lan was chased out. She genuinely had not expected Gu Jingze to expel her directly because of this incident.

At the very least, she had been with him for eight years. Why did he have to treat her like this over such a trivial matter?

For the sole reason that she had made Lin Che angry?

—

Meanwhile, Lin Che sat on the bed and continued listening to the sounds outside.

It seemed that Gu Jingze had not returned yet.

She wondered why Secretary Lan had come.

It was definitely to plead for mercy.

What about Gu Jingze? Was he going to let Secretary Lan continue staying here because she had taken the initiative to come?

She thought that even if Secretary Lan remained here, she probably would not have the guts anymore.

But she was unlikable, so Lin Che felt loathing the moment she thought of her.

Just then, she heard someone knocking on the door.

Thinking it was Gu Jingze, Lin Che jumped off the bed and opened the door.

The person at the door was none other than the female boss of the in.

Lin Che could tell that the female boss was slightly disappointed that Lin Che had opened the door. She smiled sheepishly and said, “You haven’t gone to bed yet? I came to bring you some incense. There are many mosquitos here.”

The boss had came personally to bring incense for them.

They sure had very few staff in such a huge inn.

The female boss looked around the room in great disappointment. She felt slightly unhappy at the fact that she did not see Gu Jingze. She could only sigh and think to herself that she had come at an inopportune time.

She said, “Hey, where is that man from your family?”

Lin Che thought to herself, You came late. Another woman has already summoned him.

Lin Che said, “Hehe. He had something on outside. Just put it here. I’ll pass on the message.”

“Oh, alright then. Come out and have some tea when you’re free.” The boss had no choice but to leave after she finished speaking.

After watching her leave, Lin Che said in disbelief inside the room, “Terrible, terrible. Why do so many people like Gu Jingze? It’s so annoying.”
