Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 522 - 523: Doting!

Wang Jingchuan was well aware that his older brother was having a bout of emotionality again. He chuckled lightly and said, "That’s naturally because Miss An is remarkable."

King Jingyao smiled. "Not quite. I’ve met a fair share of exceptional women, but none as uniquely infuriating yet as understanding of me as she is."

The Secretary-General nearby felt like he was about to get goosebumps. A Mr. Wang like this was simply an irresistible charmer!

Jingyao, being a connoisseur of art and harboring a tsundere princess in his heart, was casually discussing saturation, contrast, ambiance, and his connection with her, while enjoying the painting with his secretary.

Each time he spoke, the Secretary-General would dramatically praise him, acting admirably supportive yet genuine, effectively fueling the master’s sentimentality.

After admiring the painting for quite some time, Jingyao chose to hang it in his office. His initial plan was to hang it at home, but he thought that it would be most appropriate in his office.

As the Secretary-General supervised the hanging of the painting, he instructed the workers to ensure the nails were driven deep and secure— This painting, custom-made for their Mr. Wang, had a market value of at least thirty million. It embodied so much profound understanding; any damage to it would be an irreparable offense.

After half an hour of careful work, the painting was finally hung. The older brother was very satisfied and even made a special call to express his gratitude.

Gu Anxi replied cheerfully, "As long as you like it, big brother."

"You mischievous thing! Of course, I like it." His voice was gentle. "Tell me what you want, and I’ll buy it for you!"

Gu Anxi thought for a moment. "Nothing in particular. I’ll let you know when I need something I can’t get."

This wasn’t a polite rejection. Given his influence and power, she knew he could indeed get her things she couldn’t obtain herself.

Jingyao agreed readily, "Okay."

After hanging up, he felt that he should still send something to her.

He asked Wang Jingchuan if there was something suitable to send over at the moment. Jingchuan pondered. "There is one thing. Remember you asked someone to find some ginseng recently? We found some high-quality mountain ginseng."

Jingyao waved his hand. "That child has been having nosebleeds recently from too much nourishing food. I heard Xichen say so."

The Secretary-General was astonished and murmured after a moment, "Her internal heat must be incredibly strong!"

Jingyao thought for a moment before adding, "Keep the ginseng for now; give it to her next time she comes over. For now, just have some pastries delivered to her."

The Secretary-General also thought this was an excellent idea and smiled. "Miss Gu will definitely be very touched."

The older brother gave a tsundere-like smirk. "I don’t dare expect her gratitude. As long as she doesn’t get angry with me, I’ll be content."

The Secretary-General laughed. "Alright, I’ll make arrangements now. We’ll send pastries from her favorite bakery."

Jingyao stopped him again. "Wait a minute, Jingchuan."

The Secretary-General turned back. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The magnate went over and instructed briskly, "Buy more; prepare a share for the secretariat and everyone else."

The Secretary-General said, "I was thinking the same thing. We should indeed buy extra to share. Knowing it’s from you, people will hold Miss Gu in even higher regard."

King Jingyao waved his hand. "Jingchuan, you underestimate her. With her abilities, she could win over not just a few secretaries but the entire conglomerate. She’s so young, yet full of unconventional tricks."

Saying this, he chuckled again, adding to the amusement, "Sometimes even I fall for the little rascal’s schemes, let alone others."

The Secretary-General, eager to please his boss, made a show of recalling, "Ah, that must have been the Beicheng University incident! I have to say, I witnessed that scene myself. We all thought she was physically weak, but who knew it was all an act? The next thing we knew, she was driving off in a sports car, as brazen as could be!"

Clearly, the magnate was pleased, as he also laughed. "Yeah, she’s quite the spitfire."

He glanced at the time. "Alright, you personally handle it. By the way, if she asks about the painting..."

The Secretary-General smiled. "I won’t say anything specific, just that you love it and appreciate it greatly."

King Jingyao was very satisfied.

「...」

Around noon, Gu Anxi’s entire floor received pastries sent by Mr. Wang. These weren’t snacks an ordinary person could easily obtain. It wasn’t about the expense, but their limited availability; usually, you couldn’t buy them even if you queued up with cash in hand.

When Secretary Tang saw Wang Jingchuan arrive in person, she naturally understood the high regard in which *they* held her boss. An ’older brother’ and ’younger sister’ dynamic, indeed!

Moreover, their interactions seemed very casual, devoid of stiff formalities. Miss Gu showed no fear or apprehension towards *that person*. They were completely like ordinary siblings: one doting, the other doted upon.

Gu Anxi took a bite, her eyes squinting in satisfaction. "Wang Jingchuan, where did you buy these? They’re so delicious."

The Secretary-General calmly replied, "They are from Dezhou Manji. If Miss Anxi likes them, I can arrange for them to be delivered daily."

In the time it took for him to speak, Gu Anxi had already polished off two more. She patted her little tummy contentedly. "No, better not. I’ll get fat."

The Secretary-General chuckled. "Then, whenever you’re craving them, just give me a call, and I’ll have them sent over."

Gu Anxi, her mouth full, mumbled, "Alright, you can go back now."

Wang Jingchuan smiled and only then did he leave.

Gu Anxi had eaten quite a few, and her little tummy was round and full. "Secretary Tang, I’m skipping lunch."

She had a team-building event with An Pu later that evening.

Suddenly, Gu Anxi’s gaze fell upon the group of pretty young secretaries in the secretarial office. She decided to take them all with her that evening. Doesn’t Zhang Niuniu’s team over there have a whole bunch of bachelors? And every one of them is wealthy and confident now!

Brilliant!

Gu Anxi told Secretary Tang her plan, asking her to notify the secretaries and see if they wanted to go. The secretaries had just received a benefit, and now, hearing that Miss Gu was going to take them out to have some fun, how could they possibly refuse?

Every single one of them was exceptionally excited.

However, after eating the snacks and with the evening plans set, someone couldn’t resist probing, "Secretary Tang, what do you think is the relationship between our Miss Gu and *that person*?"

She paused, then asked again, more cautiously, "Is it really just a brother-sister relationship?"

Secretary Tang tapped her lightly. "What else could it be? What kind of relationship are you imagining?"

Secretary Tang paused before speaking, "This isn’t something to spread around, but seeing as *that person* openly cares for Miss Gu, it doesn’t seem like he intends to hide this relationship at all."

One of the young secretaries excitedly asked, "Does that mean our Miss Gu is going to skyrocket to success?"

Secretary Tang chuckled. "Our Miss Gu has always been at the top, alright? Given her abilities, do you think she needs to find a backer?"

She lowered her voice. "Miss Gu’s personal assets amount to a hundred billion. Just think about that."

The young secretaries were dumbfounded.

Secretary Tang added, "And that’s a conservative estimate."

The young secretaries were incredibly envious. Secretary Tang offered them some advice: "Miss Gu has strict requirements, but she treats her subordinates extremely well. What I want to say is, no matter what, you must never betray your boss for personal gain. Understand?"

The young secretaries naturally agreed.
