Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 478 - 479: Furious! It’s this little bastard!
"Not a word about this to anyone else." King Jingyao’s voice was low and heavy.
As his chief secretary and close aide, the man understood his meaning immediately and spoke cautiously, "If that’s the case, Mr. King, you..."
King Jingyao spoke coldly, "What could I possibly do? What can I do to that little bastard?"
The secretary remained silent, sensing his boss’s bad mood.
Being in this position and feeling manipulated certainly wasn’t pleasant. Especially for someone like Mr. King, who had shown few weaknesses over the years and was now being troubled by this newcomer.
After venting his anger, King Jingyao felt a little better. He closed his eyes and said, "I don’t want to see that brat around me for the next few days."
Although he had dispatched Anna for the day, he knew she would not back down that easily.
The value of that confidential contract was immeasurable.
Moreover, who knew what other secrets it held?
Having said his piece, King Jingyao ended the discussion and returned to his office in his car.
Working late into the night was commonplace for a man of his status.
No sooner had he settled down than a young secretary delivered a file, saying, "This document just arrived this evening."
The Chief Secretary complained, "Such indiscretion!"
The young secretary fell silent.
King Jingyao, whose mood wasn’t good, still said calmly, "Bring it over."
The Chief Secretary immediately delivered the document to King Jingyao and asked the young secretary to leave.
King Jingyao nonchalantly opened the document, but then his gaze froze for a moment. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
The document was in French, a language King Jingyao wasn’t very familiar with. However, the Chief Secretary recognized French, and upon one look—he froze completely!
This was the very document the Frenchman had lost!
This must be a copy!
The Chief Secretary translated the document, his voice trembling, and then looked at his superior.
King Jingyao lit a cigarette and looked up. "What do you think the sender means by this?"
The Chief Secretary spoke softly, "Naturally, it’s a gesture of goodwill."
"Goodwill my ass!" King Jingyao spoke coldly, "This is a clear attempt to drag me into this!"
He scoffed. "I wondered why she was so quick to respond and even put on a show of investigating together. She’s earned the money, but now it seems I’m supposed to take the fall with her."
The Chief Secretary was a smart man and understood King Jingyao’s words immediately. For a moment, he was speechless.
King Jingyao continued coldly, "Otherwise, given how devilishly cunning she is, would she really let me find such an obvious flaw?"
The Chief Secretary’s voice trembled as he replied, "Miss Gu is certain she has you completely figured out, sir."
"Arrest her and bring her here immediately!" King Jingyao slammed his hand on the desk and stood up, his face furious.
The Chief Secretary didn’t move. King Jingyao’s voice grew even angrier. "I told you to arrest her and bring her here!"
Only then did the Chief Secretary make a move. "Really? In that case, I’ll gather the men. Given her skills, I’ll probably need to take 50 elite personnel."
With that, he headed for the door.
But King Jingyao called him back. "Wait."
The Chief Secretary halted.
After reflecting for a moment, King Jingyao said, "Forget it. It’s late."
Sensing the shift, the Chief Secretary quickly leaned in and whispered, "Look, she sent the document to us. Miss Gu considers you like an older brother. Besides, if we really did something to her, what about the Bo Family? And how would we explain it to the Old Master and Old Madam?"
King Jingyao snorted coldly. "She is threatening me! She’s got some nerve!"
The Chief Secretary continued to coax him, and after much effort, finally managed to calm King Jingyao down.
The magnate, however, was seething with anger!
He didn’t sleep all night.
The matter reached a stalemate. King Jingyao assigned it to Chen Ming to handle, including dealing with Anna.
Despite his anger, the document was still carefully studied and indeed proved to be highly valuable...
While he was furious, Gu Anxi, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened.
One day, Bo Xichen had a document requiring King Jingyao’s signature. Being too busy to deliver it himself, he asked Gu Anxi to do it on his behalf.
Gu Anxi felt her uncle was being too permissive, and she left with a pout, clearly displeased.
Bo Xichen understood her discontent, smiled, and returned to his work.
Gu Anxi made a face, then ran out, went downstairs, got into a car, and drove to King Jingyao’s office. Most of the people there knew her and tacitly assumed she was a favorite of Mr. King.
The Chief Secretary’s face lit up when he saw her. "Miss Gu, you’re here!"
"Mhm, I’m here to get a document stamped for my uncle." Gu Anxi said, holding up the document pouch in her hand. She was about to go in but was stopped by the Chief Secretary...
