Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 519 - 520: Under my control, there’s no such cheap deal.
The dozens of people in the development department had toiled for half a year, yet she accomplished it in a single afternoon. No wonder the Bo family cherished her so much, from top to bottom.
Manager Ma was not a pretentious man, nor was he unkind. He had always respected capable and talented people. He used to think Little Gu wasn’t up to the task, but now that she had proven herself, he refused to leave, even if chased away with a broom.
Manager Ma was genuinely sincere this time when he said, "Next quarter, the Yunxi daily chemical department will surely take off."
Bo Nianyao smiled. "As long as you think it’s going well."
He beckoned, "Come here, Kiddo."
Gu Anxi came over, leaned against the conference table near him, and greeted, "Dad Bo."
Bo Nianyao looked at her and smiled faintly. "I heard you just won a big award yesterday, and you still have to follow up on the COMO Building project."
Gu Anxi nodded. "Yes, I need to follow up, but it won’t affect my work here at Yunxi."
Bo Nianyao was particularly gratified. Looking at Manager Ma, he asked, "Is that acceptable?"
Manager Ma adopted a very humble attitude this time. "When Manager Gu has other matters, Old Wang and I will be here at the company. You can rest assured, Manager Gu." After finishing his statement, he sniffed at the perfume again. He really wanted to take it home.
Seeing his reaction, Gu Anxi chuckled. "Alright, this one is Secretary Tang’s. I’ll blend a few more later and give them to you and Manager Wang."
Manager Ma felt as if he’d been struck by a windfall, so happy he was about to faint. Not only would he get perfume, but he’d also be able to crush those bastards from the Gu family in the next quarter. Just thinking about it made him ecstatic. Feeling cheerful, he pulled Manager Wang along and proactively plunged into work.
After they left, Bo Nianyao smiled. "Kiddo, your earth-shattering performance really put them in their place."
Gu Anxi crossed her hands in front of her. "Managers Ma and Wang have just been too comfortable at Cloud He Group for too long and don’t want to work. That’s why Aunt Bo Jin had to work so hard before." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
She clenched her small fist. "Under me, there will be no such easy rides."
Secretary Tang immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, Manager Gu is absolutely right. Vice President Bo really had to work very hard before, often working overtime every day."
Bo Nianyao, after all, cared deeply for his younger sister. Hearing this, he fell silent.
After a moment, he spoke, "Kiddo, handle this with your usual discretion."
Gu Anxi hummed in agreement, then remembered something. "By the way, Dad Bo, I plan to paint a picture for Mr. Wang as a gift. What do you think I should paint? How about a longevity peach?"
Secretary Tang started to laugh.
Bo Nianyao feigned annoyance. "If you really paint that, won’t your old brother be furious? He’s only in his early forties and doesn’t even have a wife yet, and you’re giving him a longevity peach?"
His comment seemed natural, but Secretary Tang was stunned. What? Mr. Wang is Manager Gu’s ’old brother’? That sounds incredibly impressive! But Mr. Bo seemed quite calm.
Gu Anxi spoke a little mischievously, "Alright, then I’ll paint something else."
Bo Nianyao stared straight at her. "Kiddo, aren’t you forgetting something?"
Gu Anxi feigned ignorance. "What?"
Bo Nianyao tapped her playfully. "You naughty kid! My painting!"
Gu Anxi nodded in understanding. "I’ll paint one for Dad Bo. It will definitely be bigger and more beautiful than my old brother’s."
Hearing this, Bo Nianyao felt extremely pleased. He checked the time. "Alright, let’s go. I’ll take you out for a meal."
He had made plans with friends but now decided to bring Kiddo along.
Gu Anxi didn’t object and followed Bo Nianyao out to dine and socialize. Lately, Bo Nianyao had developed a quirk, just like Mrs. Bo—whenever he got the chance, he would take Kiddo out, proudly showing her off. ’Look, this is our Kiddo! See how outstanding she is!’
Gu Anxi was always willing to indulge him. It was her high emotional intelligence that made her so well-received; everyone treasured her like a gem. Most importantly, despite all the adoration, she remained grounded and worked incredibly hard.
Seeing them leave together, their close bond reminding him of a true father and daughter, Secretary Tang shook his head. If it were me, I would dote on her just the same. She’s truly captivating, like a perfect character designed by God. And on top of that, she has a boyfriend like Professor Bo.
The second secretary was also green with envy. Secretary Tang instructed, "As for Mr. Wang, let’s avoid discussing it in the office. It seems no one outside knows."
The second secretary nodded to indicate her understanding.
「Meanwhile」
Gu Anxi and Bo Nianyao went out to dinner. Among those present were prominent figures of Beicheng, including Chen Ming. Seeing Gu Anxi arrive, he shifted to the side to make room for her.
Those around were somewhat surprised. Chen Ming was known for his pride, so why was he being so accommodating?
Bo Nianyao smiled. "They’ve known each other for a while. They go shooting together."
He then gestured for Gu Anxi to go chat with Chen Ming. He was a very enlightened patriarch. Kiddo and Xichen’s relationship was incredibly stable. Besides, Kiddo wasn’t an ordinary girl; the people she knew were all exceptionally formidable. The Bo family, from top to bottom, wouldn’t interfere. The rest of the people present were astonished.
This young girl can go shooting with Chen Ming?
Chen Ming smiled. "Anxi’s marksmanship is better than mine."
He made a gesture. "She can dual-wield pistols."
Everyone present gasped in amazement! Indeed, there were few people who could earn Chen Ming’s genuine admiration.
Dad Bo was utterly delighted. After dinner, the group of gentlemen had their own activities, so Gu Anxi took a car back to Cloud He Group and dived back into the lab.
When she returned home that evening, her bag contained a 50ml bottle of perfume, the packaging also personally designed by her.
This was a gift for her young uncle—a unique men’s fragrance.
Just as she was about to leave, Managers Ma and Wang were waiting for her on the first floor. "Manager Gu!"
Gu Anxi stopped. "What’s up?"
Manager Ma scratched his head. "Manager Gu, I’m completely convinced today. From now on, I’m willing to be on duty every day. Just give us your orders."
Gu Anxi wasn’t particularly concerned. "That’s not necessary. However, if work is done efficiently, overtime isn’t needed. You should also put some pressure on your subordinates!"
Managers Ma and Wang were instantly enlightened. Manager Gu is incredible!
At this point, Manager Wang cautiously asked, "I heard you spent the entire afternoon in the laboratory today. Could it be that..."
After all, they were all in the same line of work and were quite curious. Had Manager Gu developed another perfume?
Gu Anxi immediately understood his meaning. She took a small bottle out of her pocket. "Are you talking about this?"
Manager Wang’s eyes widened, his voice trembling. "May I... take a sniff?"
Gu Anxi wrinkled her small nose but generously said, "Alright, just a sniff. This is a gift for my young uncle and won’t be launched on the market."
Manager Wang gave an obsequious smile. "A sniff is all I want."
He was an expert, so after taking one sniff, he was captivated. He asked repeatedly, "Manager Gu, are you really not considering launching this?"
