Everyone else expressed a kind of infatuated admiration for Gu Liancheng.
At least even if they couldnât touch him, they could often see him. Heâs been in the spotlight a lot recently because of various events.
"Qianxun, how come I never hear you talk about Gu Liancheng? Donât you have any interest in our boss at all? Arenât you even a bit curious?"
She wasnât curious, that was for sure, Eleven thought to herself.
She had been around him for four whole years already. Sheâd seen everything she was supposed to and even the things she wasnât. Things she should have imagined and even ones she shouldnât have. He was basically transparent in front of her, why would she be curious?
Speaking of curiosity...
There was one thing she was actually curious about - what had made him so distraught once.
"Exactly! Even though our boss has been involved in a lot of scandals, theyâre just that - scandals. I believe in him! He must be a person of good character!"
Pffft...
They didnât know Gu Liancheng at all, yet they had a lot of confidence in him.
"Well, let me ask you, how much do you really know about him?"
"Well, it depends... Iâm his super fan! What do you want to know? Just ask me!"
"He took over the company when he was twenty, didnât he? He spent three years building up his own network, thoroughly revamping the company, and then renamed it Liancheng Group. I know all this. I also know lots about the power struggle in his household, the Gu Family. Do you know anything I donât?"
Everyone was a little surprised, "Eh, Qianxun... Given your usual disinterest in gossip, we didnât think you were interested at all! Youâve caught us off guard! Were you secretly keeping tabs on him all by yourself?"
"Enough with the chatter, tell me something I donât know."
Even though it was work hours, the power of gossip proved to be insurmountable.
"You really should not provoke me! Thereâs a piece of news, you absolutely donât know!"
"What is it?"
"According to reliable sources, he had a first love!"
"Pshh... everyone has a first love. Whatâs so surprising about that?"
"Do you know how they broke up?"
"We donât know, you tell us."
"I heard from my senior sister, he was dating a senior student. It was a secret relationship, but it was seen by my senior sisterâs good friendâs junior sisterâs... Ah I donât know which relation saw, but it was someone. And that senior student was from a very wealthy family who looked down upon our boss!"
"Are you kidding? No matter how rich they are, they looked down on our boss? Are they out of their minds?"
Eleven fell silent for a moment.
This information is probably true.
That senior student... must be Sister Wen Qian, right?
"What do you know! If they saw our current boss, those rich families would be anxious for their daughters to latch onto him ASAP! Weâre talking about our boss when he was young, a sprightly adolescent."
"Even if he was young back then, he was still the fourth master of the Gu Family, the Gu Family! One of the four biggest families, who was so blind?"
"I donât know about that... Donât they say that our boss doesnât get along well with his family? Maybe things were already bad then. Ah, I donât know the specifics... If I knew these personal secrets, I would either be rich or noble, why the heck would I still be working here?"
"Pshh! We thought you had some big scoop, but in the end you know nothing!"
Eleven quietly sighed.
Indeed, if they knew all this stuff, wouldnât they be able to find something online?
As for things related to the Gu Family, all anyone ever talked about was that set of unconfirmed rumors; anything else, everyone was ignorant about.
