The next day, when she opened her eyes, Gu Shen had already gone to the office. Yan Xi carried the pillow back to her room and casually washed up.

It was the second time she slept with Gu Shen yesterday. She did not think it was weird. Instead, she was very at ease, as if it was meant to be this way.

After breakfast, Yan Xi dived into medical books, looking for a way to treat Gu Shen’s leg. After finishing a book, she took a break. Just as she turned on her phone, she saw the news from the Financial News.

The content happened to be related to Gu Shen.

Gu Shen was going to replace Gu Zhong and become the new chairman of the Gu family’s hotel.

It sounded like good news, but Yan Xi knew that the Gu family’s hotel was now like a big ship full of holes.

Moreover, Gu Zhong was headstrong and unscrupulous in the past. Just this quarter alone, the hotel had lost 300 million yuan. Their reputation was ruined, and there were countless complaints every day. It was unknown how much time and effort it would take to restore the hotel’s reputation.

Hence, Gu Shen didn’t take over the hotel to reap its benefits but rather to clean up the mess his good-for-nothing uncle caused.

Yan Xi pouted. Old Master Gu was really biased. No matter how useless Gu Zhong was, he still handed over the management rights of the hotel and part of the financial industry to him. On the other hand, Gu Shen was obviously very capable, but he was also asked to clean up the mess. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Yan Xi turned off the news and opened the search engine. She entered a semiconductor on it.

As a traditional company, the Gu family had been pursuing the footsteps of the times for the past few years. They wanted to change the internal problems of the Gu family through innovation. Over the last few years, the Gu family had invested in the internet and electronics industries. However, the results were minimal and did not promote internal innovation.

Last year, Gu Shen also established the Gu Electronics company. However, because it was not valued by the family, there was a shortage of funding and talent. The project now remained stagnant.

People didn’t think highly of Gu Electronics because they were shortsighted. Only Yan Xi knew that in a few years, the Gu Electronics would become the core industry of the Gu Group, injecting new vitality into the Gu Group.

In this era, people valued technology and high-end technology, such as chip semiconductors. She didn’t know if Gu Shen could foresee this.

Yan Xi felt that she could give him a hint, so she turned on the computer and created a document—”Business Plan”.

…

At night, Gu Shen returned home and sat in the living room for a long time, but Yan Xi did not come looking for him.

“Liar.” Gu Shen thought unhappily. Yesterday, she insisted on saying that she would only be at ease if she was with him. Today, she was nowhere to be seen.

After sitting for a while longer, he couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Madam?”

“Madam is still in the study room. I don’t know what she’s busy with, but she didn’t eat anything today.”

“She didn’t eat anything?”

Xiaoyue replied, “Madam only ate some breakfast and never came out of the study after that. She left the food we sent her untouched.”

Frowning, Gu Shen said, “Heat up the food. I’ll go take a look.”

The study room door was closed tightly. As Gu Shen pushed it open, Yan Xi said, “Leave the food here. I’ll eat when I’m hungry.”

Yan Xi thought it was Xiaoyue, so she continued tapping on the computer without looking up.

“Eat now. What is keeping you so busy?”

Yan Xi looked up. “Why are you back so early?”

“Am I not supposed to come back? Do you know what time it is now?”

Yan Xi glanced at the time on the computer and realized that it was already eight in the evening. Her stomach, which was neglected by Gu Xi for the entire day, started to rumble, urging Yan Xi to feed it.

“Hurry up.” Gu Shen pushed the wheelchair. “The food is getting heated up.”

Yan Xi saved the document. “Coming!” She quickly went up and pushed the wheelchair into the elevator.

“Will you eat with me?”

Gu Shen glanced at her and asked, “Why? Are you not gonna eat anything when I’m not around?”

“No, I was just too busy to check the time. I saw the news and knew you would be back a bit late today.”

Gu Shen did not reply, but there was a hint of irritation in his eyes. He did not look happy.

Yan Xi interpreted it as he was dissatisfied with taking over the hotel, so she comforted him. “Although the Gu family’s hotel doesn’t have a good reputation, is in deep water, and doesn’t have much money, if you can restore it to its former glory, people will definitely see your ability. Come on, I believe you can do it.”

“…Is this how you comfort people?”
