Chapter 368: Plan to Drug

Early the next morning, Gu Dai headed to the company, dealing with matters concerning Suzhou embroidery.
Since the fashion show a few days ago, Suzhou embroidery had garnered significant fame, and many projects had started to come in.
Gu Dai glanced over them and finally made a decision, handing several contracts to Zheng Ming. “We can collaborate on these,” she declared.
Zheng Ming acknowledged, “Understood, Chairwoman Gu.”
The designs of Wei Jia and Mao Ni stood out at the fashion show, winning the hearts of many. Consequently, several fashion brands approached them.
This was an opportunity for these novice designers. If they could harness this chance and create a unique style based on their current foundations, they would secure a firm standing in the industry.
However, both Wei Jia and Mao Ni still had room for improvement.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Dai started creating educational videos on Suzhou embroidery to facilitate their learning.
She worked tirelessly until the evening to complete the videos, after which she received a call from Song Ling.
Song Ling inquired, “Yang Huai wants to discuss the Suzhou embroidery collaboration. Do you have time to come over?”
Yang Huai was a new collaborator on the Suzhou embroidery project.
Not wanting to delay the partnership further, Gu Dai agreed to meet upon hearing Song Ling’s request.
Moments after ending the call, Song Ling sent Gu Dai the address for the meeting.
Yang Huai, deeply engaged in conversation with Song Ling in the private room, was momentarily startled upon seeing Gu Dai enter. He quickly rose to his feet and warmly invited, “Chairwoman Gu, please take a seat.”
Initially dismissive upon learning that the young, twenty-something Gu Dai was the new Chairwoman of Gu Corporation, Yang Huai had since been won over by her capabilities.
Puzzled, Yang Huai asked, “Chairwoman Gu, what brings you here?”
Gu Dai didn’t respond but turned her gaze to Song Ling.
Song Ling explained indifferently, “Gu Group is the real stakeholder here. If you want to discuss Suzhou embroidery, you should be talking to her. So, I arranged this meeting.”
Yang Huai’s smile turned stiff, but he had no choice but to continue discussing Suzhou embroidery matters.
Seizing the opportunity to go to the restroom, he sent a message to Jiang Lin.
Yang Huai: Song Ling has called Gu Dai here. What should we do now?”
Jiang Lin’s voice, sweet and syrupy, came through a voice message: Don’t worry, President Yang. Just continue with the plan.
Frowning, Yang Huai dialed Jiang Lin’s number.
Yang Huai said, “Miss Gu is no simple character. What if she discovers my plan?”
Jiang Lin soothed him, a.s.suring him that they wouldn’t be found out. She pleaded, her voice tinged with distress, “President Yang, please help me. Without your aid, I have no one else to turn to. You’re my only support.”
Unmoved, Yang Huai remained internally conflicted.
Jiang Lin bit her lip, her coquettish tone mixed with seduction, “President Yang, after you help me, let’s getaway for a week. During that time, I’m all yours to command. Whatever you ask, I’ll do. My ma.s.sage skills have improved too. Aren’t you tempted to try?”
Yang Huai’s clear gaze gradually clouded. He smirked, his voice hoa.r.s.e, “You’re truly bewitching. Rest a.s.sured, I’ll introduce your niece to President Song. Just wait obediently for me.”
As a businessman, he couldn’t help but add, “I must warn you, President Song has no interest in women. Someone once tried to seduce him with a woman, and he outright rejected her. If this fails, our agreement still stands.”
Jiang Lin cursed inwardly but maintained her sweet demeanor, “I would never go back on my word. Thank you, President Yang. You’re the kindest to me!”
Jiang Yue, watching Jiang Lin’s interaction with the middle-aged man, twitched her brow and gave a thumbs-up, “Auntie, you’re incredible, dealing with such a man.”
She had her share of relationships with various men, including middle-aged ones, but it was always they who pampered her.
Jiang Lin glanced at Jiang Yue, her voice calm, “Men enjoy the feeling of conquest. If it brings benefits, what’s wrong with lowering one’s pride? You should learn this too. It might come in handy with Song Ling.”
Jiang Yue nodded vigorously in agreement, “Okay.”
Picking up her bag from the bed, Jiang Lin prepared to leave, but not before reminding, “Don’t forget to visit Song Ling’s room later. Just in case he loses control after taking his medicine, don’t let someone else get there first..”
