Gu Dai caught the coldness in Sheng Xin’s eyes and spoke lightly, “Miss Sheng Xin, you have such a good temper. After what happened before, you don’t seem to hold any grudge against me. It is as if we’ve known each other for years.”
Sheng Xin’s smile stiffened. She hadn’t expected Gu Dai to be so blunt, without even bothering to put on a facade.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and forced a smile, “That’s all in the past. I’ve already forgotten about it.”
Wary of Gu Dai bringing up her embarrassing past, Sheng Xin quickly changed the subject, “Let’s focus on our collaboration.”
Gu Dai nodded and handed the contract to Sheng Xin, candidly mentioning, “I’ve made some slight alterations to the contract. If you’re unhappy with them, we don’t have to sign.”
Sheng Xin’s smile faded as she reviewed the contract, her irritation evident, “These terms are highly unfavorable for my company!”
“That’s exactly what I modified,” Gu Dai nodded and acknowledged.
“Are you deliberately targeting me?” Sheng Xin demanded through gritted teeth.
Gu Dai didn’t reply, but her gaze said it all, as if confirming that she was indeed targeting Sheng Xin.
Enraged, Sheng Xin slammed the table, “Gu Dai, how dare you mix personal issues with business? Are you even fit to manage the Gu Group?”
Sheng Xin was so furious she almost resorted to physical confrontation.
Su Ting, sensing her intention, stepped in front of Gu Dai, coldly interjecting, “How the company is managed is none of your concern. Daidai has already made it clear – if you’re unwilling, feel free to refuse the contract. No one is forcing you.”
Sheng Xin, glancing at her slender arms and then at the robust Su Ting, gradually calmed down.
After her last misdeed, which lost her dad’s partnership, Sheng Xin had lost her allowance and was confined at home.
This contract with the Gu Group was her family’s last chance for her. If she failed, her father wouldn’t even let her through the door again.
And although Gu Dai had reduced the benefits, the projected earnings from the variety show suggested they would still make a profit.
Despite her displeasure, Sheng Xin masked her anger, smiling, “I apologize, Miss Gu, I was too impulsive. I’ll sign the contract now.”
Gu Dai responded with a polite smile.
Sheng Xin, irked by Gu Dai’s demeanor, felt like slapping her.
After signing, Sheng Xin said, “Let’s hope for a pleasant collaboration.”
Once Sheng Xin left, Su Ting asked, puzzled, “Daidai, she seemed quite resentful. Why collaborate with her?”
Gu Dai glanced at the file, “I might not care about the company’s losses, but there’s no reason to turn away easy money.”
Su Ting nodded in understanding, offering Gu Dai a bag of chips.
After a few bites, Gu Dai sighed, “After your constant feeding these past days, I feel like I’ve gained weight. If I eat more, I’m going to turn into a ball.”
Su Ting, since his return from work abroad, have stuck by her side even during work.
He had been indulging her with various treats, causing a noticeable increase in her weight.
In the three years of her amnesia, she had missed out on many delicacies. The sight of these snacks now made it hard for her to resist.
Hearing Gu Dai’s comment, Su Ting gazed at her intently.
Feeling his stare, Gu Dai asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Ting earnestly replied, “I’m checking if Daidai has gained weight. You look the same as before, no noticeable change.”
“I don’t believe it. The scale tells me I’ve gained weight,” Gu Dai countered.
“The scale must be broken,” Su Ting said, unflinchingly.
Gu Dai, looking at Su Ting’s serious face, began to doubt the scale herself.
Relaxing, she unwittingly finished the bag of chips. When Su Ting offered her another snack, she snapped back to reality and quickly changed the subject, “I should check on how Fu Nan’s training is going..”
