Chapter 39: Using the boss's money for a major overhaul without a second thought.
Gu Ye's eyes shone when he looked at Chu Xinglan; who would believe they weren't a couple?
But judging from the girl's reaction, that wasn't the case at all. It was as if she could never see the good man beside her, and it seemed that she only cared about one other thing: money.
"These clothes cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. I wouldn't even buy one set, let alone several," Chu Xinglan muttered. "Why did you make me change all my clothes out of the blue?"
"Because your appearance represents the face of our company, do you think it's appropriate for a company secretary to dress so shabbily?" Gu Ye looked down at Chu Xinglan, his expression very serious.
"Oh!" Chu Xinglan pouted. Was she blaming her for disgracing the company's image?
Indeed... her outfit, from head to toe, cost less than two hundred yuan. If you told anyone, no one would believe she worked at Gu's company, otherwise she wouldn't have been humiliated like that today.
"Alright then!" Chu Xinglan had no choice but to accept the major overhaul. She raised her hand and asked, "Boss, can this be reimbursed?"
Assistant Xue's coffee expenses are reimbursed, so surely they wouldn't refuse to reimburse her for such a large expense?
Seeing Chu Xinglan's pained expression, Gu Ye couldn't help but chuckle. He covered his lips with his hand, suppressing his laughter, and said, "Okay."
When Chu Xinglan heard that she might be reimbursed, she decided not to be polite.
"Then I'll go pick out a few clothes." Chu Xinglan bit her lip and smiled happily.
She's so lucky to have such a great boss!
The female shop assistant gave Gu Ye a strange look, and then followed Chu Xinglan to choose clothes.
"Is that gentleman really just your boss?" The female shop assistant looked at Chu Xinglan, who was picking out clothes, and tried to find out about Gu Ye's situation, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yeah, what else?" Chu Xinglan answered casually, her attention focused on choosing clothes.
"I really envy you. You have such a great boss who even buys you clothes. Plus, he's so tall and handsome."
Chu Xinglan's hand suddenly paused. She turned around and saw that the female shop assistant was frequently looking at Gu Ye. Not only her, but all the other shop assistants in the store were also secretly staring at Gu Ye.
Gu Ye stood not far from her, like a beautiful sight.
Chu Xinglan felt that Gu Ye was watching her the whole time, and she became a little embarrassed.
"Does your boss have a girlfriend?" the female shop assistant asked again.
Chu Xinglan turned around in astonishment and stared at the female shop assistant.
Are all female shop assistants these days so direct? They get all smitten just by seeing an attractive man?
Regardless of whether Gu Ye has a girlfriend or not, even if he doesn't, he wouldn't just casually fall for someone he's never met!
Strange... Why is she so angry knowing that someone is eyeing Gu Ye? When Assistant Xue was noticed by a female shop assistant at the jewelry store, she wasn't angry at all, and even joked with Assistant Xue. But when it comes to Gu Ye, an inexplicable fire rises in her heart?
"How would I know if the boss has a girlfriend? If you want to know, go ask him yourself." Chu Xinglan said irritably, picked up a piece of clothing, and ran to the dressing room to try it on. All she wanted to do now was leave this place as soon as possible.
The female shop assistant's face turned blue and purple from Chu Xinglan's retort.
At this moment, Gu Ye walked over and patiently waited outside the changing room.
The female shop assistant took the opportunity to try and chat up Gu Ye.
“You are very different from other bosses. I have never seen a boss accompany his employees to buy clothes.”
Gu Ye ignored her.
The female shop assistant persisted, adding, "Your employee is very fierce!"
"Is that so?" Gu Ye said calmly.
The female shop assistant thought Gu Ye's voice was extremely pleasant, and since he had finally paid attention to her, it meant her method was working. So she continued, "Isn't that right? I just asked a casual question, and she yelled at me!"
"She looks cute when she's being fierce to you." Gu Ye's lips curled up slightly.
The female shop assistant paused for a moment.
Aren't they just boss and employee? After all, it's not uncommon for superiors to lie and offer benefits to subordinates in order to win them over. This gentleman was probably trying to curry favor with the employee in this way; otherwise, why would he personally bring an employee to try on clothes?
But this boss is so handsome, wouldn't anyone be overjoyed if they were even slightly nice to him? Why would he need to go to such lengths to please him?
When Chu Xinglan came out of the dressing room, she saw the female shop assistant staring blankly at Gu Ye, which made her even more unhappy.
She walked up to Gu Ye, deliberately blocking the waitress's view, and asked Gu Ye, "Does this dress look good?"
"Beautiful!" Gu Ye's smile widened, he saw her little gesture.
Is this girl jealous? That's definitely a good sign.
"Okay then, boss, I won't try them on, I'll just buy this one!"
Strange, why did she suddenly have the urge to hide Gu Ye away?
"Then let's do it this way!" Gu Ye nodded, then pointed to a few special-style clothes and said, "Let's settle the bill for this one, that one, and that one..." according to this size.
Gu Ye bought more than a dozen outfits in one go, leaving all the shop assistants dumbfounded.
"Buying so much?" Chu Xinglan was also taken aback. "Can it really be reimbursed?"
Chu Xinglan asked cautiously.
Gu Ye gently flicked his forehead with her finger, smiled faintly, turned around, and took out her gold card.
Several female shop assistants were confused. If they weren't in a romantic relationship, why would the boss be so generous as to buy them clothes worth over a million yuan in one go?
Moreover, this woman didn't even pretend to refuse, and kept talking about reimbursement, as if she was obsessed with money, but he didn't care at all.
Are they really just bosses and employees?
After paying, Gu Ye called Xue Bai over to help with the luggage.
"Buying so much, you're really not modest," Xue Bai whispered to Chu Xinglan as he carried various beautifully packaged items.
"The boss said that my image is the face of the company," Chu Xinglan said seriously.
Xue Bai looked at Chu Xinglan and rolled his eyes.
She actually believes that? First they gave her a house, and now they're giving her clothes. Even an idiot would know what's going on.
Back in the car, Gu Ye said to her, "Pick a nice dress for me later, and come with me to the banquet tonight."
"What kind of banquet?" Chu Xinglan asked curiously.
"A baby's one-month celebration banquet."
"Are you planning to give away the gold lock you bought this morning?" Chu Xinglan asked with a smile, then thought for a moment and felt something was off. "Wait a minute, boss, shouldn't you be bringing a secretary like me to this kind of wedding banquet?"
"Because I need a female companion, and I think you're just right." Gu Ye said in a serious tone.
While driving, Xue Bai thought to himself: There's no rule that says you have to bring a companion to a banquet!
