Chapter 1499: I... I Can Be a Vase
Shen Lingfeng smiled wryly.
He even thought about whether something had happened to the Gu Family, only to find out nothing was wrong.
Now hearing her words, he wasn’t surprised.
Only she would dare speak to the BOSS so bluntly.
Usually, which of their company’s employees would want to see him after work? They all avoid him.
Only someone who has never truly worked in society like her would so obviously ask the company’s big BOSS to treat her to a meal.
If Gu Zimo knew his sister was having such a tough time in Hai City...
"I mean, if the occasion permits." Gu Ziyou put down her chopsticks and explained to him, "I’m your personal assistant, so it’s natural for me to follow you outside of work time, right? And, and, when you talk business, I can go with you too."
He said calmly, "What use would you be if you came along for business talks?"
"I... I can be eye candy!" Gu Ziyou said without a hint of embarrassment, "And don’t worry, I definitely won’t waste your money on outfits. I have plenty of clothes, definitely ones that are suitable for formal occasions, and I just lack places to wear them..."
As she spoke, she paused again.
Damn it, talking too much always leads to mistakes.
What if he asks her why she has so many clothes that aren’t convenient to wear usually?
She absolutely can’t let him know she’s not short of money.
"Actually, those clothes..."
"Okay, you can come along next time as eye candy." Shen Lingfeng didn’t ask about the issues worrying Gu Ziyou.
"You agreed? But let me just state upfront, I won’t drink with anyone." Gu Ziyou pointed out a matter of principle, "And I’m not doing that other thing either..."
"That other thing?" he said with an amused look, raising his head.
"It’s just, you know when you guys talk business, sometimes..." Gu Ziyou racked her brain, "Like don’t you often call for escorts or something?"
Shen Lingfeng’s face instantly turned dark.
What, does the Gu Group call for escorts when talking business?
Who on earth fed her such lowbrow ideas?
"I just heard about it, but I think even if you do call escorts, it would be in certain specific scenarios, nothing to do with me." She mused to herself.
She had heard this from Xue Mengmeng, and found it so novel at the time.
But she wasn’t surprised when thinking about those big-bellied bosses.
But as for the BOSS, she couldn’t quite picture it.
"Did I say something wrong?" Seeing Shen’s face looking off, "Or is it that you can’t talk about such things casually? I can keep a secret!"
Shen Lingfeng gave her a glare, "Nothing like that happens, we are a legitimate company."
"That’s good then."
His look soured even more, did she think they weren’t a legitimate company?
He wondered what on earth was going on in her head.
Gu Ziyou, on the other hand, was in a great mood, solving the problem of many future meals in just one meal’s time.
Ever since coming to Hai City, intending to live independently for a while, she felt her biggest challenges were not having money to buy clothes and finding no good food to eat.
Luckily, her brother had prepared accommodation for her, or else she wouldn’t know if she could adjust to living in a typical rented house for office workers.
At home, she never felt eating was a problem, but now she knows how serious it is.
Street food stalls, small restaurants, initially they were novel, but after a while, she started to miss the chefs at home.
But going to Michelin-starred restaurants every day was simply unaffordable for her.
Cook for herself? Kill her first!
