Gu Nian looked down at the bank card and was very surprised.
This was something she didn't expect, so Gu Nian didn't reach out to take the bank card.
"Mr. Shi, why?" Gu Nian asked.
When Xiao Mo heard Gu Nian's question, he also noticed that Gu Nian looked very lonely. Having been an assistant for many years, he naturally knew how to watch people's emotions.
He realized that he had not communicated well with Miss Gu when he always asked him to take a sum of money last night.
In other words, this should be a unilateral act of Mr. Shi.
But as Mr. Shi's assistant, he understands better that he can't say too much if he shouldn't, and just do everything the boss wants.
"Mr. Shi didn't say much. He just told me that Ms. Gu may be in a tight financial situation now. There is 200,000 yuan in this card. Mr. Shi said you can use it for emergency purposes."
After hearing this, Gu Nian's heart trembled a few times.
In the past few days, Shi Ye had given her four times, the feeling that this world was worth it.
She is indeed short of money, very short of money.
The 200,000 yuan in front of her can indeed relieve her considerable financial pressure in an instant.
However, this time, Shi Ye did not give Gu Nian the feeling of experiencing the warmth of the human world for the fifth time.
Gu Nian shook his head, then took a small step back.
"Assistant Mo, please return this card to Mr. Shi."
Xiao Mo's hand holding the bank card was still frozen in mid-air. Gu Nian didn't accept the money, which was indeed beyond his expectation.
"Please tell Mr. Shi that my matter is my own business after all. Mr. Shi can't help, and I can't help him all."
"First, if he only helps with money, it means that I have transferred my plight to him. Although he is not short of money, my behavior is not moral."
"Secondly, how long can he help me? Our marriage only lasts for one year. If during this year, I rely on his help and lose my resistance to the pressure of life, that year In the end, I will only be worse off."
"Third... it's what Mr. Shi said yesterday. If he gave me the money, then he would have exceeded the rules. We should not interfere in each other's private lives."
After saying that, Gu Nian nodded politely to Xiao Mo, then lowered his head and returned to the villa.
After hearing this, Xiao Mo was stunned on the spot.
He has been with his boss Shi Ye for so long, and has met all kinds of people in the mall.
They are all people who pursue fame and fortune, and even wish that Shi Ye was like a free philanthropist, spreading money down from the high-rise buildings of Baichen Group.
Only, this time.
Shi Ye made some miscalculations.
Xiao Mo carefully repeated Gu Nian's words. As a middleman and Shi Ye's subordinate, he must give truthful feedback without adding any of his own understanding or emotion.
No matter how hard he remembered, Xiao Mo was still a little surprised...
He couldn't help but look in the direction Gu Nian left.
I just thought that maybe this girl was really different from other people.
Gu Nian returned to the house.
The text message reminder on my phone came as scheduled. Today is the last day to pay a bill.
Therefore, the reality before her was that she had to fight bloody battles on her part-time job again today.
This is indeed a very hard thing.
She had just given up a sum of 200,000 yuan that was in front of her. She didn't know where she got the courage, but she was able to say no to the word "money"!
However, she has no regrets.
She just didn't want Shi Ye to look down on her, let alone herself.
＊＊＊
In Shi Ye's office.
Xiao Mo relayed what Gu Nian said to Shi Ye word for word.
Then, he placed the 200,000 bank card that Gu Nian rejected in front of Shi Ye.
Shi Ye's eyebrows couldn't help but frown a bit. He picked up the bank card and was repeating what he just heard in his mind.
Lawyer Qin Feng on the side also listened to Xiao Mo's report.
Then he shook his head unconsciously...
Shi Ye glanced at Qin Feng angrily and asked directly: "What fart do you want to express? Just let it go!"
Qin Feng looked at Xiao Mo and smiled, then shrugged.
"It's nothing, Mr. Shi. I just want to express my feelings. Miss Gu is really a girl with a lot of personality. Even though she is already heavily in debt, she still has the confidence to refuse your help."
After hearing this, Shi Ye rolled his eyes at Qin Feng again.
"Do you only know how to repeat nonsense? Xiao Mo has just reported what you said!"
Obviously, what Shi Ye wanted to hear from his friend was not the superficial understanding and judgment of Gu Nian's rejection of him.
Qin Feng was angrily scolded by Shi Ye, but he was still not angry at all.
He knew that Shi Ye would not really be angry with him, so he said directly:
"Boss, actually... you were just turned against me by Miss Gu. She may just want to confide her private emotions to you, but you cannot accept her emotional needs."
"And the boss thinks that as long as the word 'love' is not mentioned, everything else is easy to talk about, so he would rather use the word 'money'. However, what Miss Gu does not need to get from you at all, must be dry 'money'. "
"So, now it's you, boss... It's unnecessary. If you break the contract, it will be you, boss, who breaks the contract, not Miss Gu."
Qin Feng is indeed a lawyer, and his analysis of the pros and cons is perfect.
After speaking, Qin Feng and Xiao Mo unconsciously had a strange smile on their faces.
This scene was naturally captured by Shi Ye. Of course Shi Ye understood that the expressions on the faces of his two right-hand men in front of him could only be expressed in two words -
laugh at!
"snort!"
Shi Ye took a cold breath from his nose, and deliberately said with a serious tone coming from his boss: "Why are you laughing!"
Xiao Mo quickly stopped his expression, and then pulled Qin Feng's clothes, trying to signal Qin Feng not to go too far.
But Qin Feng is Shi Ye's friend for many years after all, and he is probably the only one who dares to tell the truth in front of Shi Ye at this time.
That is...
"Boss, this is probably the first time you have experienced what is called 'a hot face against a cold butt' in your life, right?"
"Oh no! It should be 'cold face stuck to cold butt'."
After all, how could Shi Ye's face be so warm?
Shi Ye suddenly lost his composure. He had never experienced the feeling of being slapped in the face, so he said even more angrily:
"Okay, okay, get out! You're so long-winded!"
Qin Feng shrugged, then put his hands on Xiao Mo's shoulders, and led Xiao Mo away from the ice cave with a smile.
Shi Ye was left alone in the office, continuing to be immersed in the feeling of being slapped in the face.
actually.
In terms of understanding Gu Nian, Shi Ye actually didn't understand much.
After graduating from graduate school, I was working part-time here and there without a fixed job. My credit report showed that I owed several loans, and I was even being chased by creditors from time to time.
If you look at these labels on the surface, you can at least judge that Gu Nian's life is really a mess.
Shi Ye didn't have the time or mood to know more about the situation, but after spending a few days together, he still felt that Gu Nian was a very tough and unyielding girl.
If she was not such a person, she would not refuse her 200,000 like a pie from the sky.
Therefore, Shi Ye still felt that Gu Nian had something to hide.
But...what does this have to do with him?
The relationship between himself and Gu Nian can only go so far. Not only is the distance between them limited by the contract, but also——
He is Shi Ye.
Just because he is Shi Ye, he is a person who keeps his promises.
Therefore, he cannot have any relationship with women other than Du Yucheng beyond a chance encounter.
However, what made me confused was why she felt a little sad after being rejected by Gu Nian.
At this moment, Shi Ye also realized that he seemed to have entered a strange circle and could not escape.
Why is it wrong to help, but also wrong not to help?
Knowing that Gu Nian was in jail, the embarrassment that night was definitely not the first time, and naturally it would not be the last.
If he really turned a deaf ear to Gu Nian's matter and ignored it, then Ye would not be able to face his inner world.
Although, he couldn't tell why he bothered with Gu Nian's personal affairs.
Could it be that this girl also recalled what she had experienced?
Gu Nian said that the person who pestered her was her father.
If painful memories come from the word "father", then no one knows this feeling better than Shi Ye.
Therefore, Shi Ye could not turn a blind eye.
But....
..As long as he extends a helping hand to Gu Nian, he will violate the spirit of the contract he made in the past——
"There is no need to ask about the other person's private life."
This clause was originally a clause that Shi Ye made for himself.
Gu Nian was only his wife in name only. This year, Shi Ye needed Gu Nian to replace Du Yucheng in this position.
In this way, my father and his group of fools will not use Baichen Group to threaten him and force him to marry other women.
However, what he never expected was that it was Shi Ye who took the lead in violating the terms of the contract.
Shi Ye was pinned to the spot by Gu Nian. He understood that besides the contract, he didn't have to do anything else.
But the strange thing is that his mood is not fixed in place, but becomes more and more scattered.
In confusion, Shi Ye picked up the office phone and called Xiao Mo, who was sitting outside, to come in.
"Boss, are you looking for something?"
"Well, these days, I will eat at the company and not go home." Shi Ye ordered.
He was thinking that maybe it would be better for her if he didn't have to worry about her anymore these days.
Or perhaps, it will allow myself to be more thorough and quickly return to the calm and single state of the past.
Strangely, Xiao Mo froze in place after listening to Shi Ye's instructions. After a long while, he said with an expression of embarrassment:
"Well, boss, I suggest you go home and eat! When Miss Gu refused your money, she specifically asked me to convey that cooking for you is another contract between her and you, so please be sure to execute it."
"Also, Miss Gu said that she is a person of her word. I hope you are too."
After saying that, Xiao Mo quickly took a big step back, and then quickly disappeared into Shi Ye's office.
Shi Ye wasn't even given time to make a decision to refute.
"Hey, they say that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with family matters. Let you decide the matters between you and yourselves! This is more difficult than asking me to mediate with the business leaders!"
Xiao Mo sighed as he ran away.
