LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 100: Revisiting Galaxy Media
"Gu Heng!"
Lin Jiayun was the first to react, her face alight with excitement as she ran over and, in the amazed gazes of everyone present, threw herself into Gu Heng's arms...
Although she hardly interacted with this group of colleagues in the past, at the end of the day, they had spent more than two years together every day. Gu Heng had resigned less than a month ago, so of course, they couldn't possibly have forgotten about Gu Heng...
Seeing Lin Jiayun hug Gu Heng like that, the hearts of many male colleagues at the company who had a fondness for Lin Jiayun shattered, their hope vanishing into thin air...
And the female colleagues were filled with a fervent desire to gossip...
The company's leading lady, getting together with a recently departed nobody?
If there wasn't any behind-the-scenes manoeuvring involved, they would never believe it...
"What exactly is going on?"
In the face of Lin Jiayun's excitement, Gu Heng remained calm and asked again.
"This old guy, before the New Year, sent Jingjing over 300,000 yuan worth of gifts. However, he didn't have good intentions and kept asking Jingjing to go out with him.
Then when Jingjing disagreed, he brought people to make trouble at the company."
This so-called "Mr. Bao" actually sent gifts to Lin Jiayun, He Jing, and also Xiao Lan.
But unfortunately...
Xiao Lan was still a student and only had food on her mind. She didn't understand Ning Baojun's hints at all, so after he spent a few thousand yuan, he gave up on her...
As for Lin Jiayun, well...
If it had been before she met Gu Heng, she might have continued to lead Ning Baojun on, thinking of scraping off some benefits from him...
But now, with a solid support like Gu Heng, she lost all interest in Ning Baojun, who was notorious in the live streaming circle. If it weren't for the live streaming hour requirements in her contract, she would have followed He Jing's approach and given up altogether...
After all, isn't coaxing Gu Heng much nicer than pandering to a streaming room full of freeloaders and the occasional big spender?
What surprised her the most was that He Jing, who had always been uninterested in live streaming, dramatically increased her streaming hours during the New Year and even began actively asking for gifts...
Such behavior was unimaginable for the old Lin Jiayun...
She even wondered if He Jing had been possessed...
It was precisely because of this that Ning Baojun set his sights on her...
After dumping over 300,000 yuan into her streaming room, he then invited her out for a meal...
Although he said it was just for a meal, pretty much everyone knew what he really had in mind...
He Jing knew as well, which was why she resolutely rejected Ning Baojun...
He Jing, who rarely streamed and didn't understand the ins and outs of the live streaming circle, thought at worst she would lose a big spender who gave her money. However, she didn't expect that soon after the New Year, Ning Baojun would come all the way from the Northeast to confront her...
...
Although Lin Jiayun really didn't want Gu Heng and He Jing to meet...
But since Gu Heng had asked twice already, she could only relay the general situation to him...
After listening to Lin Jiayun's words, Gu Heng glanced towards He Jing, who stood pale and without a trace of her former liveliness, and he had a rough idea of what was going on...
It was simple.
A streamer baiting a "big brother" had overplayed her hand and got burned.
He had spent more than two years in Galaxy Media, and he had seen plenty of drama like this.
But what he didn't expect was for this kind of thing to happen to He Jing...
No way...
With He Jing's previous uncompetitive demeanor, this sort of situation would never have arisen...
He vividly remembered the last time when he furiously dumped a hundred thousand yuan in her stream and He Jing, frustrated, returned every penny to him, leaving him taking a financial hit...
Could it be that in the half-month since he went home, He Jing had completely changed?
The thought made Gu Heng's gaze fix intently on He Jing's face...
Feeling Gu Heng's stare, He Jing's eyes darted about, completely unable to meet his gaze...
"Jingjing, let's go, it's time to eat."
Gu Heng had no interest in dealing with this so-called Mr. Bao, but instead called out to He Jing.
After saying that, he gave Lin Jiayun a knowing look.
Lin Jiayun caught on in an instant and then, taking He Jing's hand, said, "Let's go eat first, let this old man make his fuss."
Lin Jiayun was naturally forthright. Without Gu Heng, she dared to stand up and directly confront Ning Baojun. Now, with Gu Heng as her backer, she felt even bolder, disparagingly referring to him as "old man," aggravating Ning Baojun to the point of twitching eyes...
He Jing knew that Gu Heng was giving her a way out...
She was ready to leave with Lin Jiayun...
But Ning Baojun, who had been holding back his anger, couldn't stand to see He Jing leave. He suddenly objected.
Accompanied by a few men who had come with him, he blocked their way, saying, "Leave? Where do you think you're going? You think you can just walk away before this matter is settled?"
Surveying these burly men, Gu Heng weighed his options internally...
Although he had some [Basic Fighting] skills and could probably take on two or three men his size, Ning Baojun's men from the Northeast...
They might not be covered in muscle, but they were certainly strapping lads...
If a real fight broke out, it would be too disadvantageous for him, especially since it was for someone else's problem. Getting injured and landing in the hospital, that would be even less worthwhile.
His bank account numbers were already catching up with the length of his phone number; to enjoy life or to risk it over some trivial squabble with these fools? That would be downright foolish.
"Let's call the police first."
With this thought, Gu Heng commanded Lin Jiayun in an indifferent tone.
Lin Jiayun wasn't sluggish; she immediately took out her phone and started calling the police.
Zhang Yang hadn't expected the situation to circle back to calling the police. He hastily interjected again, "Don't call, don't call the police!"
After speaking, he pointed at Gu Heng's nose, "Gu Heng, you're no longer an employee of our company. Get out now and stop stirring up trouble!"
