Chapter 141: As Long As You’re Good-looking And Obedient
Without waiting for Shen Ying to answer, he asked, “Have you partic.i.p.ated in the International Real-time Translation Compet.i.tion? How were your results? What about your graduation results? Were any of your works during university nominated for awards?”
Shen Ying’s body trembled.
Gu Zheng asked, “What was the original fashion concept proposed by Gu Corporation? Did you partic.i.p.ate in the previous Paris Design Compet.i.tion? Do you think you can win the Paris Design Compet.i.tion with your ability?”
With every word Gu Zheng said, Shen Ying’s body trembled and her face turned pale.
She had never heard of many of the things he said. She had also bought her diploma… Other than dating in university, she did nothing else!
The n.o.blewoman was anxious. “Gu Zheng, why are you asking about this? Do you really want to use Shen Ying as your a.s.sistant? That’s too much of a waste of resources. She’s just your personal a.s.sistant who’ll be handling your personal matters. It’s fine even if she doesn’t understand what you’re saying. All she needs to do is look good and listen to you.”
She was just short of telling Gu Zheng that she had sent this woman to him for him to sleep with.
As Gu Zheng’s partner in bed, she did not need to be too talented or capable. She just needed to be good-looking, beautiful, easygoing, gentle, and considerate.
Gu Zheng looked at her with a faint smile. “Deal with my personal matters? It’s not like I don’t have arms and legs. Do I need her to help me deal with personal matters? Is she even worthy?!”
“Let’s forget about her being an a.s.sistant. I don’t think she’s even suitable to be someone else’s a.s.sistant. Any one of Gu Corporation’s a.s.sistants is a graduate of a famous university. They’re the cream of the crop after winning many major awards. It’s better if you don’t send trash like Miss Shen Ying to me as it’ll only disgust me.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
This man was either silent or furious. However, she did not know if she should say it. It felt really good to hear Gu Zheng scold them!
Gu Zheng slowly said, “Miss Shen Ying, you should put more effort into improving your ability. Without good looks, you have no ability to fall back on. Someone like you will be eliminated by society sooner or later. Alright, everything is settled now. Let’s go.”
The final sentence was directed at Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi instantly put away her focused expression of watching a show and was obediently led away by Gu Zheng.
However—
This bunch of people had waited for such a long time for a chance. How could they let it go so easily? If Shen Ying did not climb into Gu Zheng’s bed today, all their efforts would be wasted!
The n.o.blewoman rushed forward without a care in the world, disregarding all dignity. “Gu Zheng, wait. You might not understand what I just said. Although Shen Ying isn’t qualified as an a.s.sistant, she’s especially outstanding in other aspects. She can serve you well and guarantee that you’ll have a different experience. As long as you nod, I’ll get Shen Ying to go to your house to serve you. If you’re in a rush, you can also stay in the old residence.
“Please consider it. Shen Ying is different from some people. She’s thousands of times better than the person you married. She’ll be very obedient to you and won’t disobey any of your orders…”
The living room instantly fell silent.
Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes. It was fine to deliver women to Gu Zheng. As long as one had the ability, then go ahead and do as one pleased. However, wouldn’t it be too inappropriate to trample on her in front of her?
Gu Zheng stopped in his tracks. “Madam w.a.n.g, are you insulting my wife?” He glanced at Shen Ying and said in an undisguised tone of mockery, “You’re comparing this woman to my wife? Is she worthy?”
Ads by PubFuture Madam w.a.n.g was Gu Zheng’s father’s fourth sister. She married into the w.a.n.g family a few years ago and became the mistress of the w.a.n.g family. The w.a.n.g family was quite powerful. Although they could not compare to the Gu family, it was still enough for Madam w.a.n.g to hold her chin up high. The Gu family was polite to her and would call her ‘Fourth Madam’ every time she returned to the Gu family, indicating that she was still a member of the Gu family.
However, the way Gu Zheng addressed her as ‘Madam w.a.n.g’ instantly widened the gap between her and the Gu family. Unfortunately, Madam w.a.n.g was used to being flattered by others all these years and did not notice the anger in Gu Zheng’s voice.
She even replied smugly, “Gu Zheng, that’s not what I meant. I didn’t deliberately insult Miss Qiao. It’s just that our Shen Ying was raised to be a rich young lady since she was young. She’s different from some ignorant people who grew up in the countryside. Gu Zheng, although you’re the head of the Gu family now, I still have to say something. You can’t just mess around with your marriage. This isn’t just being irresponsible to you but also the Gu family.
“Your wife, the mistress of the Gu family, should be a n.o.ble daughter like Shen Ying. She should be as gentle and virtuous as her. You shouldn’t get a country b.u.mpkin to be your wife.”
