Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: You Are Such a Hypocrite Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: You Are Such a Hypocrite Yuanshan immediately answered, “Guotai Group just issued a document yesterday. Because Gu Ranxuan has shown exceptional performance, she has been promoted to Vice President of the group, in charge of property management affairs.”

Only then did Lu Lingche raise his head; he glanced at Qiao Yin subconsciously, saw that she seemed to have no reaction, and then said, “Let her in.”

Yuanshan complied, and quickly brought Gu Ranxuan in.

After Gu Ranxuan entered, she saw Qiao Yin but showed no surprise: “I heard this morning that President Lu has a new beautiful assistant, and everyone said it didn’t fit your style. But I didn’t expect that President Lu’s beautiful assistant would be my Third Sister.”

Qiao Yin stood quietly by Lu Lingche’s side, glanced faintly at Gu Ranxuan, and said nothing.

After all, she was an assistant now; there were things President Lu, the CEO, could handle, so there was no need for her to speak.

Yuanshan also stood quietly on the other side of Lu Lingche. At times like these, it should be left to the boss to take the lead.

True enough, Lu Lingche spoke directly in a way that put people in an awkward position: “Vice President Gu cares so much about a trivial matter like my hiring an assistant, and even made a special trip to verify it. Could it be that you truly think of me as your fiance? You are so insincere, saying one thing and doing another; does your family know about this?”

Gu Ranxuan’s expression stiffened.

She was usually very stable in her dealings, but somehow, when it came to matters involving Lu Lingche, she couldn’t maintain her composure and always felt the urge to pry.

It was probably because Lu Lingche was the best man she had ever met. He was different from other men, his cold and ascetic aura made it easy for women to be attracted to him.

If there hadn’t been an accident, this man should originally have been hers.

“Why does President Lu have to speak so unpleasantly? I wasn’t especially concerned that you have a new assistant. It’s just that everyone around me was talking about it, and it was impossible not to hear.”

Gu Ranxuan’s expression quickly returned to normal: “Moreover, my visit to President Lu isn’t to verify your assistant, but to talk about the Golden Beach project. I don’t care who your assistant is; I’m only concerned with whether this project can continue and whether the funds our group has invested will be gone in smoke.”

“This project is one your group insisted on participating in, I’ve warned about the risks long ago, and, moreover, it was decided in previous meetings that your group will be the leading party in the project. And you’re asking me now if it can continue?”

Lu Lingche’s voice was cold, his tone very detached: “If there are problems with the project, your group is the first to bear the responsibility. You don’t have the right to question me.”

“Furthermore, Shengling Group no longer has any say in the Golden Beach project because our investment quota was taken away by Eastern Empire Group at the outset. Now, Guotai Group is the primary actual holder, and Eastern Empire is the second. Combining the shares of your two groups, you own over ninety percent.”

“In the future, if there are issues with the project, please go to Eastern Empire for discussions; there’s no need to come to our group.”

Of course, Gu Ranxuan knew that Eastern Empire had deliberately taken Shengling Group’s investment quota to become the major shareholder in the Golden Beach project. Her visit today was also just an excuse to see Lu Lingche.

Her goal wasn’t the Golden Beach project, but Lu Lingche himself.

She actually knew beforehand that Lu Lingche’s new assistant was Qiao Yin, and that was why she made the trip today.

“President Lu, you led the project from the start, and our two families were about to enter a marriage alliance. You were already recognized by both parents as a son-in-law of the Gu Family. It was because of this trust that our group invested tens of billions in this project. Now, you declined the marriage alliance, and the project has encountered problems. I have reason to suspect that you are deliberately playing our group and the Gu Family.”

“If you suspect something, present evidence; without it, don’t slander me.”

Lu Lingche was very indifferent: “Also, I don’t want to hear you mention the marriage alliance again. Whoever proposed the alliance should be the one you talk to about it, it has absolutely nothing to do with me. I never agreed to it from the beginning to the end.”
