Chapter 1111: Madam Has Left
Water towns…
Those were very far away.
It was true that Lin Che had never gone to a water town.
She looked outside the window at the perfectly straight lanes that stretched neatly to the stockaded village ahead. They were in the throes of the tourist season and many people were there. Dongzi drove the car slightly slower until they arrived at a local inn. After going in, they made arrangements to stay there.
Many of the inns were bursting with people. This inn was a bit more expensive. But Lin Che did not care whether or not it was expensive. She merely wanted to find a relaxing place to stay. It just so happened that there were not many people staying here because it was too expensive, so it was much emptier.
After Lin Che entered, Dongzi looked at her probingly. “Don’t we need to inform Mr. Gu?”
Lin Che was still irritated at the mention of Gu Jingze.
“No need,” she said. She leaned back and thought about it. She felt that since she had never been to a small water town like this one, she preferred to tidy up a bit before going out to explore.
Thus, she tidied her appearance and prepared to go out, pushing that damned Gu Jingze to the very back of her mind.
—
Gu Jingze was currently leaning backward. But he sensed that someone was making tea beside him.
The moment he caught a whiff of that scent, he knew that it was not Lin Che.
At all times, the scent of Lin Che’s body was always faint. It was like the sweet smell of vanilla and not a fragrance like this that had the pervasive smell of cosmetic products.
After smelling the scent on Lin Che’s body for a long time, he genuinely felt that any other smell seemed very pungent.
He turned around and saw Secretary Lan making tea behind him.
“President Gu, take a break and have some tea,” she smiled and said.
Gu Jingze let out a hum of affirmation and said, “It’s alright. You can go out.”
Although he had thought that Lin Che was a little sensitive at the time, he instinctively felt uncomfortable when he looked at Secretary Lan again.
He probably felt that she had caused Lin Che’s unhappiness, which in turn made him unhappy.
Hearing this, Secretary Lan felt faintly disappointed, but turned around and walked out.
Before she had even gone out the door, a security guard walked straight in.
Secretary Lan said unhappily, “What are you doing? President Gu is taking a break. Why did you casually barge in?”
Recently, these security guards were becoming more and more unruly. They did not even knock on the door and came inside directly.
The security guard said, “It’s regarding Madam. Move aside.”
They had to report the first thing when it came to matters concerning Lin Che, regardless of when it was or what Gu Jingze was doing at the time. This was everyone’s common understanding and Gu Jingze had also implicitly permitted this.
He pushed Secretary Lan aside and walked inside directly, saying, “Sir, Madam left in a car.”
Sure enough, Gu Jingze immediately stood up. “What?”
“Madam’s subordinates drove the car. Initially, they said she was going out for a spin. But in the end, they went all the way west. Right now, they’ve made a stop at Fengqing Town.”
Fengqing Town. It was a water town that many people went to during a vacation. It was extremely well-known in the country and there were many people there.
Gu Jingze immediately said, “Send people there to watch over her.”
His eyes twitched and he planned to leave at once.
Gu Jingze was also aware that Lin Che had suddenly left this place probably because she was angry.
Secretary Lan found it strange. When she saw that Gu Jingze was about to leave just like that, she momentarily felt a little anxious too.
“President Gu, we haven’t completed our work here. We can send people to look for Madam. Abandoning the work here now…” Secretary Lan said worriedly.
Gu Jingze said, “We’ll drop everything on hand first. It’s fine for them to wait.”
Secretary Lan asked, “What? But… isn’t it better to finish things in one shot? Why should we waste even more time? Madam merely went off to relieve her boredom…”
Secretary Lan even wanted to stretch her arm out to block him.
Gu Jingze’s gaze suddenly hardened. With one arm, he shoved Secretary Lan aside directly.
Secretary Lan was stunned. Gu Jingze’s gaze met hers and became even sharper.
He suddenly felt that something was off. Secretary Lan’s gaze was frantic and she looked very anxious.
What was there to be anxious about if he was merely leaving?
Gu Jingze looked her up and down.
Out of the blue, he said, “Secretary Lan, I think that you’ve worked in S City for too long. You’ve been in this position for too long too. Perhaps it’s time for a change of environment.”
Secretary Lan froze.
Gu Jingze said, “Go report to the human resources department. You’re going to Austria.”
What…
Secretary Lan felt as if her head had been dealt a heavy blow. She immediately went into a daze.
—
Lin Che saw quite several people taking photos here. For a moment, she also felt that the exquisiteness of the water town was truly beautiful. She also wanted to take photos. But as her belly was still very big right now, it was probably not a good idea to take these photos.
After all, on this trip, she saw that the photos other people took were very artistic. She herself genuinely wanted to take photos too. Although she usually took photos casually since she a celebrity, often taking cover photos and promotional photos, those photos were for work purposes after all. Privately, she had never taken a single photo.
Lin Che was suddenly in the mood to take photos. She instructed people to ask how to take these photos.
She looked down at her protruding belly. It suddenly occurred to her that this was her second pregnancy, but she had not left any mementos at all.
Wasn’t it a trend to take pregnancy photos right now? She should take one too.
Later in the afternoon, Dongzi instructed someone to bring a photography team here.
They were a little starstruck when they came in and saw Lin Che.
This was none other than Lin Che…
Of course, they did not believe it at first and looked at Lin Che curiously.
But seeing as she was staying in such a nice place and had so many people with her, perhaps it really was Lin Che.
With this thought in mind, they looked at Lin Che but did not dare to ask because they clearly saw that Lin Che’s round belly was not fake.
“What is this lady’s name? What photos do you plan to take?” The photographer ventured.
Lin Che said, “My name is Lin Che. I’m planning to take photos.”
“Ah… Lin Che.”
“Are you really Lin Che?”
“That, that Lin Che, right?” Seeing as Lin Che had clearly identified herself, they felt that she was not planning to hide anything either.
Lin Che smiled at them with squinted eyes. Since they had seen her, it would be difficult to hide, so she said frankly, “Yes. I came here to enjoy myself. This is a personal matter. I hope that you don’t tell other people. We’re only planning to let people know about these private matters later.” She turned her head and looked at Dongzi meaningfully.
They immediately took out a wad of cash and gave it to them.
Lin Che said, “Thank you in advance for today. I’ll be in your care in the future too.”
The moment they saw a large amount of money, flowers of joy bloomed in their hearts.
They were really in luck today.
Celebrities were not lacking in money at all.
In reality, Lin Che had not started any projects recently. It was true that celebrities did not lack money. After she had become the boss of her own company, she received more dividends and her income also increased as a result.
But of course, they did not know about all this. They merely thought that it was very easy for famous celebrities to make money.
After they took the money, Lin Che spoke again. “Alright. Dongzi, lead them in.”
Dongzi brought them in. He looked at them and took a few steps. Then, he “accidentally” kicked one of the chairs at the side, smashing it immediately.
They were immediately shocked.
Behind them, Lin Che smiled faintly. “Dongzi, why were you so careless again? Be a bit more careful when you walk. Those chairs can’t withstand your strength.”
They trembled even more.
They instantly understood that this was a warning to them.
