Chapter 677: Boohoo, She Had Offered Her Body In Exchange For This
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xue Yang thought of Lu Yunshi. Then, he looked at Abby again. Whether it was Abby or Lu Yunshi, they lived very different lives from him. However, he wondered how he had unexpectedly encountered them.
He found it very amazing when he thought about it.
However, Xue Yang had already understood from his experience with Lu Yunshi that they definitely lived in different worlds. The gap between them was too large.
As a result, although others were probably slightly more cautious towards Abby, only Xue Yang felt that it was totally unnecessary. Anyway, she did not need any more people bowing down to her. If he did the same, he would be tired too. It was better for him not to do anything.
Abby continued following him. “Hey, what are you going to do now?”
“I’m looking for a place to practice…”
“Why? Am I distracting you a lot by being here?” Abby asked.
Xue Yang looked at her. “What do you think?”
“Uh. Alright. Hey, you can’t say that either. There are so many people watching you when you act. I’ve seen how shoots go. The studio may be full of people around you during the shoot but you must still continue acting. You can’t stop acting just because I’m here, right? And I’m the only one here too.”
Xue Yang frowned. She was right when he thought about it. His only excuse was that he subconsciously did not want her to look at him because her presence was too strong.
Abby blinked. “I’m so bored. Let me practice together with you. Which part do you want to practice? I’ll do it with you?”
“…”
Xue Yang had an expression of helplessness on his face. Abby continued blinking and attempting to persuade him, “Look, if you can continue acting even with me here, it will prove that you’re a good actor. Don’t you think so?”
Although she made sense…
“Come on, come on. This is the script, right? Let me look at it.” However, Abby had already taken out the script and started reading it.
There was nothing Xue Yang could do but calm himself down and watch her while she did this.

When Lin Che arrived at Gu Jingze’s company, she saw that the entrance was completely surrounded by people. She quickly covered her face and turned away whenever someone looked at her. Then, she went to the side to wait for him.
People went in and out of the entrance and she was afraid that someone would recognize her.
Fortunately, Qin Hao came out soon after to bring her in. Upon seeing Lin Che hiding there, he quickly walked towards her. “Madam, you’re here. Sir is upstairs.”
“Ok, ok. It’s great that you’re here. Let’s go.”
The two of them entered the company from the back entrance. By the time they arrived at Gu Jingze’s office, the people outside seemed to think nothing of it. They merely glanced at Lin Che curiously.
Inside his office, Gu Jingze seemed extremely busy at the moment. He looked at Lin Che and cupped his hands in greeting. Then, he said, “Come. What do you not understand?”
Lin Che took the documents out of her bag. “Just these things. Look at them. There are some figures that I don’t understand at all. I’ve returned all the math I know to my former teachers.”
Gu Jingze took the documents from her and glanced at them. Then, he said grudgingly, “This has nothing to do with math. You only need to swap the columns a bit and the results will appear. The numbers will immediately be clear. They’re all there: the balance for this month, the number of employees and the categories of expenditure… But there are some problems with this table. They probably didn’t use the correct formulas in the calculations. The design of the table isn’t simple enough. With your level of intelligence… you definitely wouldn’t understand it.”
“How mean. I don’t understand any part of what you just said… Of course, we don’t learn these things at our drama academy. For our cultural modules, we only learned English and university Math. Each major has its specialization. These things contaminate our art. Of course, we won’t learn them…”
“Enough. Move aside.” Gu Jingze shook his head helplessly. He felt like he could not do anything about this woman who only knew to look for excuses.
He picked up the phone on the table and made an internal call for the secretary to come in.
“Take this table to the finance department and ask them to make up a new one.”
“Ah… yes, President Gu.” The secretary was about to bring it out.
Lin Che hastily asked, “Ah. Can you re-do it?”
“Of course. But this is confidential information. Are you comfortable with letting my subordinates handle it?” Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che with his eyebrows raised.
Lin Che thought, What was there to be worried about? There was really nothing to be worried about. To an organization as huge as the Gu Industries, this small table was basically nothing…
“It’s fine. If you took over our company, I would be under the banner of your company. That would sound so impressive.”
“…” Gu Jingze smiled and looked up to tell his secretary, “Go ahead.”
The secretary looked at Gu Jingze’s mysterious smile and was truly stunned. His bashful expression really made her doubt if this person was Gu Jingze…
After going out, she quickly took a look at the table and realized that it was just a typical financial table.
Qin Hao approached her and she said to him in disbelief, “Our President Gu is seriously… he has even started helping such a small company with their financial tables. I feel like our President Gu’s worth… has plummeted to an all-time low…”
Qin Hao looked at it and shook his head with his hands clasped behind his back. “What worth does President Gu have here…”
“Then, what should I do with this table? Who from the finance department should I assign this task?”
“Of course, Deputy Head Chen should be the one to do it.”
“Ah… asking a person who calculates more than a hundred million in fund circulation a day to calculate this…”
“Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you still want a promotion and a pay raise? If you don’t want to do it, I’ll do it. It’s just that President Gu thinks nothing of my shitty work. You’re so tactless. You don’t have any sense at all.” Qin Hao glared at her.
The secretary could only hastily respond, “Alright, alright, alright. I understand. I’ll get someone on it immediately.”
At this, Qin Hao nodded his head in satisfaction. He looked inside and started thinking to himself. It seemed that President Gu would not have much time for a meeting today. The meeting was about to begin but Madam was still inside. It was better for him to inform everybody to await further notice about the meeting.
Meanwhile, inside…
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze skeptically. “If you told someone else to do it, then you…”
Didn’t he say that he would help her take a look at it?
Gu Jingze’s eyes crinkled in a smile. “If I tell someone else to do it, we can use our time to…”
Lin Che was immediately pushed down, sending her into a state of shock…
How mean. She had not come looking for him because of this…

Lin Che kept feeling like she was the one who suffered a loss. She had clearly only asked Gu Jingze to take a look at the documents but in the end…
Instead, she ended up having to offer her body to him.
Was a table worth that much?!
Was she selling her body by doing this?
She returned to the company with the document in hand. When she looked at the table, she did indeed find it much easier to understand and quickly got someone to start working on it.
The staff in the company looked at the new table and bowed down one by one to Lin Che. They asked her, “This looks like it’s of such high quality. Sister Che, did you get a professional to do this?”
“I think so…” Lin Che said, her entire body aching. Of course, it had to be done by a professional. She had sold her body in exchange for it.
The staff in the company said, “Sister Che is truly a professional. She even asked a professional to help her out with a table.”
She thought to herself that this was not what she wanted either…
