Chapter 67 - Don't Be Jealous

Last night, he was probably really drunk. When did he take a shower? When did he return to bed? She had no recollection.

She had already turned into a puddle of mud.

The next day, Gu Chu woke up and saw the crumpled bed sheet. If the aunty saw this, what would she think?

It was all Feng Jia’s fault! She wasn’t the only one who was embarrassed!

After breakfast, Gu Chu remembered something and asked Feng Jia, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to investigate Shen Shan? Did you make any progress?”

“I haven’t found out your connection with him yet,” Feng Jia replied.

“Oh.”

Feng Jia also remembered something and asked, “Did you go to the hospital for a check-up yesterday afternoon?”

“No,” Gu Chu answered honestly.

Feng Jia frowned. “Did you forget about the pain after you recovered? Why didn’t you go?”

“Let’s talk about it when I come back from the capital. My mind is filled with the Sky Garden Project. I even dreamed about it last night.”

Feng Jia was expressionless. “Do you really care about this project that much?”

“Of course,” Gu Chu explained slowly. “Lin Yu went against the pressure of the board of directors to assign this project to me. I have the responsibility to do it well…”

Feeling that something was wrong with his expression, she hurriedly added, “Oh, don’t be jealous. Lin Yu and I know each other very well. It’s just a sibling relationship. If we really wanted to, we wouldn’t have to wait until now!”

Feng Jia:” …”

After Gu Chu finished her last bite of dinner, she wiped her lips and said, “I’m going to the capital tomorrow. If I’m free, I’ll go to my grandfather’s house and ask him to help me check Shen Shan’s background.”

“Going to the capital? With Lin Yu?”

“Yeah, didn’t you ask before?” Gu Chu rolled her eyes at him.

Then, she said, “Take your time. I’m going to the company.”

After Feng Jia arrived at the company, he found a few projects that were pending approval on his desk.

The secretary brought him a cup of coffee and said to him, “These are all the companies that hope to get the Feng Corporation’s investment. The evaluation team has reviewed them and they think it’s okay. Please take a look.”

When Feng Jia heard this, he flipped through each and every one of them. He stopped at one of them and said, “Ask the person in charge of this project to come and see me.”

The secretary glanced at it. It was Hurricane Manufacturing. She nodded. “Okay.”

The plane ticket to the capital was booked for tomorrow afternoon.

Gu Chu thought that she should finish her work earlier today so that she could go back and pack her luggage.

She was busy until noon, and she was a little hungry. Just as she was thinking about where to go for lunch, her secretary knocked on the door and came in. “Director, President Xu from Hurricane Manufacturing wants to see you. He’s in the conference room right now.”

Hurricane Manufacturing?

It was already 12:30 pm. wasn’t it not a good time for him to come now?

Gu Corporation owned a chain of resort hotels. Among them, the most famous one was the man-made hot springs. The one who made the hot springs was Hurricane Manufacturing, an important partner of Gu Corporation.

However, why was President Xu looking for her at this time for no reason?

As soon as President Xu entered the office, Gu Chu stood up and shook his hand. “President Xu, why are you here at this time? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Have you had lunch? Come with me.”

President Xu, however, showed a guilty expression and said, “Director Gu, You’re too polite. Actually, I’m here to apologize to you.”

“Apologize?” Gu Chu’s smile disappeared.

President Xu said, “I’m afraid that we can’t fulfill the contract we signed with your company. I’m really sorry.”

Gu Chu’s expression turned cold. “Why?”

“Our company received an export order three months ago. It was originally scheduled to be completed this month, but there was a problem with our production line and we’re still waiting for it to be fixed. We tried to negotiate with the foreign company, and they agreed that we could postpone it to next month. Even so, we still don’t have enough time, and your company’s order is due next month. We really can’t make it..”

He paused for a moment, then said, “So, I’m afraid that your company’s order can not be completed.”

Gu Chu said with a dark face, “So, you gave our order to the foreign company?”

He did not say anything, but he did not deny it.

The hot spring machine was a large machine, and the construction period was at least half a year. They had originally set the delivery date for next month. Logically speaking, it should have been almost completed by now. But now, he said that the order had to be given to another company?

Gu Chu took a deep breath. “This is a breach of contract!”

President Xu hurriedly said, “Director Gu, don’t worry. Our company will pay the penalty according to the contract.”
