Chapter 19: Business Trip Together

impatient hand, Lin Haisheng snatched the appraisal report from the nurse. He glared at the results displayed on the page and angrily flung it onto Su Yaofen's lap. "Explain this to me! What exactly...The next day, Su Keixin woke up half an hour earlier and used her laptop to draft a resignation letter.

Call her weak, call her a coward, she simply couldn't work under Gu Yichen's command.

She hadn't even had time to print out her resignation letter when she suddenly received a call from the hospital.

"Miss Su Well, this morning we noticed some activity in your mother's EEG. It seems she might be showing signs of waking up."

"What" Su Ke Xin was overjoyed, "Really Doctor Mom really can wake up"

"I can only say that it's possible, Miss Su, don't get your hopes up too high."

"As long as there's hope, Doctor. That's all Mom asks of you."

"Well, we'll certainly do our best, but..." The doctor's voice wavered a bit, "because the signs are improving, we'd be taking a different approach to treatment, and that would affect the cost..."

Su Keqin was taken aback, but quickly understood. She spoke without hesitation: "I understand, doctor, please rest assured, my mother already has medical insurance, and most of it will be covered. As for the remaining amount, no matter how much it is, I will pay it all. Please do everything you can to make my mother better."

After hanging up the phone, Su Kexin stared at the resignation letter on her computer screen, hesitated for a moment, and finally deleted it.

At this juncture, she couldn't possibly quit her job. Let alone the health insurance, just the one-month gap between jobs would mean her mother's medical expenses wouldn't be covered.

Su Keixin packed up her things with a headache and went to work.

What needs to be faced, still needs to be faced.

Gu Zhi was busy today and left very early. Su Ke Xin ate dinner alone and then took a taxi to the office.

Their magazine recently landed a big collaboration project with the editor-in-chief of a magazine in Q City. It is said that Gu Yichan will even personally go to Q City to negotiate the contract details.

To this, Su Keqin only let out a sigh of relief.

She wished Gu Yihang would go on a business trip, so she could avoid seeing him.

No sooner had Su Kexin sat down in the office than her editor, Jiang Lili, hurried over. "Su Kexin, get ready. We're leaving for Q City with the chief editor this afternoon."

"What" Su Keixin jumped to her feet. "Sister Jiang, I'm a reporter, not the editor-in-chief's personal assistant. I'm afraid that wouldn't be appropriate, right"

If you have any opinions, don't tell me, go tell the editor yourself. He specifically asked for you to come.

Su Keqin's face turned pale.

Could it be that Gu Yichen personally called out her name

She thought that since Gu Yichen was going to get married, he should let her go. But what was he playing at now

She bit her lip and turned to walk towards Gu Yichan's office.

Just as I was about to knock, the door opened on its own.

Gu Yichen saw Su Keixin standing outside the door. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned his face cold. "Su Keixin, what are you still doing here We're about to leave."

Su Ke Xin's face paled, but she still lifted her head to meet Gu Yi Han's gaze. "Editor-in-chief Gu, I don't want to go to City Q."

Seeing Su Kexin's obvious rejection, Gu Yichen inexplicably felt a surge of anger in his heart, "This is a decided matter, it's not up to you to agree or disagree. If you don't want to go, you can just resign."

Su Keixin's hands involuntarily tightened.

If she could, of course, she'd quit and stop enduring the presence of Gu Yihán. However, the hospital's mother still needed her wages and insurance.

Seeing that Su Kexin didn't speak, Gu Yichen couldn't help but sneer, "Since you're reluctant to resign, get your luggage ready for me immediately. Three o'clock flight, if you miss it, you're fired!"

Saying that, he turned and left.

Su Keqin knew she had no choice but to call Zhang Ma.

An hour later, Zhang Ma came to the office downstairs with her luggage.

"Aunt Zhang, thank you so much. Mainly because I really don't have time to go back and clean up." Su Keqin expressed her gratitude.

"Madam, you are too kind," Zhang Ma said. She liked the young master's new bride very much; she was gentle and considerate, without any airs. "But about this business trip, have you spoken to the young master"

Su Ke Xin was taken aback.

Indeed, ever since she heard about the business trip, she had been treated to Gu Cihan's cold demeanor, so much so that she forgot to even greet Gu Chi.

"I'll tell him."

Su Keixin dragged her suitcase back to the office and called Gu Chi, but he didn't answer.

He must be in a meeting.

It wasn't a big deal anyway, so Su Kexin just sent a text message and set off for the airport with Gu Yichen.

Chi Yao Group, CEO's Office.

"About that project in Q City, the other party wasn't sincere at all. Just cancel it," Gu Chi pushed his wheelchair into the office and instructed Yang Zuo beside him.

"Okay, Young Master Gu," Yang Zhao nodded and then suddenly thought of something, "By the way, during the meeting, your wife seemed to have called"

"Su Keqin" Gu Chi was stunned.

It's rare for her to call herself. Gu Chi picked up the phone and saw Su Ke Xin's WeChat message —

The magazine publisher suddenly asked me and the editor-in-chief to go on a business trip to Q city. I won't be home for the next few days.

Gu Zhi felt inexplicably annoyed. The simple, matter-of-fact statement seemed like nothing more than a task completion.

At this moment, Yang Zuo suddenly thought of something and handed a piece of material to Gu Chi. "By the way, Young Master Gu, speaking of Madam, about the matter I investigated for you, the results are out."

Gu Chi took the document, flipped it open, and when he saw the first page, his body stiffened abruptly, his black pupils fixed.

He slammed the files shut, his face as cold as ice. "Get the car ready. We're going to City Q."re's a woman who wants to see you, she's downstairs now.Gu Yichan's trusted confidante cautiously said, fearing he would displease him."Get her out of here!"Gu Yichen had a trace of anger. Apart from...
