Chapter 11: Male model document

Meanwhile, Gu Zhaoye was completely unaware of everything happening on the other side.

Seeing his assistant’s reply, he turned off his phone screen, his gaze lowering with an almost instinctive sense of disgust.

Of course, she hadn’t come.

There was no need to even think about it.

Gu Zhaoye tossed his phone aside, picked up the landline on his desk, and issued an order.

“Contact my parents. If Gu Zhaoping goes home to complain, tell them she has repeatedly missed important company meetings, causing significant disruptions. Today, even after the attendance deadline, she still hasn’t shown up. This is completely unacceptable.”

“That reality show Elite Seasons is about to start filming. If she keeps acting so recklessly, the consequences won’t just stay within the company.”

“Freeze her bank accounts for now. Let her stay home for a while and calm down.”

Gu Zhaoye spoke in a detached tone, but when he mentioned Gu Zhaoping’s name, he still gritted his teeth.

The movement pulled on the injuries on his face, and the memory of last night made his chest heave with anger.

Gu Zhaoping!

Just thinking about how she had dared to hit him made his fury surge again.

Gu Zhaoping might be his biological sister, but he had never liked her he might even say he resented her.

She was utterly useless .

She had no patience to master anything, wasting the best educational resources without ever improving herself.

She had every opportunity to excel but never committed to anything .

The only thing she had ever mastered was playing around with male models she could name every top-tier escort in multiple cities.

She was reckless and impulsive, had no sense of priorities, and despite being older than him, had a mind that never seemed to mature.

Shen Yifeng’s dislike for her was completely justified.

Men like them, raised in elite circles, might indulge in beauty and warmth, but they admired women who lived with purpose.

Especially a wife she was supposed to represent the face of a prestigious family.

Even though Gu Zhaoping came from an excellent background as the Gu family’s eldest daughter, her personality and demeanor were utterly embarrassing .

She made Shen Yifeng look bad.

Although Gu Zhaoye didn’t like Shen Yifeng either, he believed their similar upbringings as top-tier heirs meant they would have similar preferences in women.

Especially considering that Shen Yifeng was more academically inclined Gu Zhaoye could easily imagine what kind of wife he would want.

Whether or not she had a good family background, she had to be smart , socially adept , and emotionally intelligent .

Ideally, she should share his interests.

Oh, and most importantly, she couldn’t be the jealous type no nagging about his social life, no demanding explanations for every interaction he had.

A bad wife could ruin a man’s career.

Even the most outstanding man would struggle if he had no support system and constant domestic chaos.

There were countless social events where his wife would need to make an appearance, countless media eyes watching.

Even the slightest slip-up could become a public joke .

Gu Zhaoping was completely unfit to be a proper fiancée.

Gu Zhaoye could already predict how much she would be despised after marriage.

She was clueless , lacked any redeeming qualities, indulged in pleasure without restraint, had a terrible temper, and was completely unfaithful .

She’d probably even insist on staying at the Gu family’s estate after getting married, running back in tears to their parents every time she fought with Shen Yifeng, begging them to take her side.

So if Shen Yifeng did kick her out or had another woman handling his affairs, Gu Zhaoye would fully understand.

He should have dumped her a long time ago.

Otherwise, she might actually believe she was wanted .

After finishing his instructions, Gu Zhaoye dialed Shen Yifeng’s number.

As his future brother-in-law, Shen Yifeng usually avoided interacting with him.

Seeing the call, he was surprised.

After a brief hesitation, he figured it was probably about Gu Zhaoping.

Was Gu Zhaoye about to explain her recent behavior?

Or had she done something again, forcing him to check on her?

Anticipating this, Shen Yifeng sighed and answered.

“Zhaoye, what is it?”

“It’s about Gu Zhaoping.”

As expected.

Hearing the cold tone, Shen Yifeng could already guess what had happened.

The mess had finally escalated to this point.

The exhaustion he had suppressed when dealing with Gu Zhaoping resurfaced, and once again, the idea of calling off the engagement lingered on his tongue.

He paused, considering the best way to bring it up while preserving dignity for both families.

“Do you know what she did yesterday?”

Gu Zhaoye let out a cold laugh, his voice filled with disgust.

Had she thrown a hysterical fit at the Gu estate?

Gone on a hunger strike to prove a point?

Shen Yifeng already felt drained.

“I don’t want to know what she did ”

“She beat me up. Twice .”

Gu Zhaoye interrupted him furiously, practically shouting,

“ Twice! ”

Shen Yifeng froze.

“…What?”

“You have any idea how she did it? She marched down and punched me straight in the face ! MY FACE! And she had the audacity to say it was because I didn’t call her ‘sister’!”

“As if I’d ever call her ‘sister’! Since when have I ever called her that? Gu Zhaoping? Does she even deserve it?”

“She’s only two years older than me. What else qualifies her to be my sister?”

Gu Zhaoye’s voice grew more agitated.

At this point, Shen Yifeng realized something strange

He was actually listening.

And he hadn’t stopped him.

His eyelashes fluttered slightly before he quickly spoke to cover up his momentary lapse.

“…She hit you?”

It was obvious.

Both of them found it incomprehensible .

Just as Gu Kaichang had said, in the past, Gu Zhaoping had always desperately sought their approval.

There was never a situation where they disliked her, but she didn’t care about them .

The deeper layer of Gu Zhaoye’s anger one even he hadn’t acknowledged was that for the first time , she didn’t care what he thought.

For so long, he had viewed himself, his brothers, and even his future brother-in-law, Shen Yifeng, as judges evaluating her .

But now

She was the one judging him .

And he couldn’t stand it .

“She hit me. And not just once ! Do you know how she looked last night? Like some raging lunatic!”

“And she had the nerve to say it was for my own good ! Her ?! She even claimed she was disciplining me for Grandfather’s sake!”

At this point, Gu Zhaoye realized he had let his emotions slip too far

It almost sounded like he had been completely unraveled by her .

He abruptly forced himself to rein it in, gripping his waist as he held the phone with bitter frustration.

“Shen Yifeng, control your fiancée .”

Of course, he didn’t actually expect Shen Yifeng to discipline Gu Zhaoping.

He just wanted him to know how outrageous she had been

To stab her where it hurt the most.

The call ended.

For the first time, Shen Yifeng found himself utterly frozen .

His thoughts

Were suddenly a little messy .

Gu Zhaoping had indeed gone crazy.

But this was the first time she had done it in a way that he never expected never even considered she dared to.

It was one thing for her to hit Ruan Nian.

But where did she get the audacity to hit him her younger brother, who was already inheriting the family business?

She had always been reckless and impulsive.

But now, she was actually using Grandfather as an excuse to discipline others?

Shen Yifeng couldn’t even describe the strange feeling rising in his chest.

He realized

He didn’t quite understand Gu Zhaoping anymore.

And that realization

That she was suddenly unpredictable

Made him feel even stranger .

If the opportunity presented itself, Gu Zhaoping could beat many people.

Of course, it was only because they didn’t know about her illustrious track record.

She wasn’t someone who had secured her place through peaceful means.

As the eldest daughter of a powerful family, ruthlessness was one of her strengths.

At the company, the assistant nearly dropped his phone the moment he saw her arrive.

The surrounding employees turned to look, surprised, and even greeted her.

The assistant, however, had no time to worry about formalities.

He hurried after her, trying to stop her.

Holy shit, she actually came?!

Who let her come to work?!

But he was a step too late.

The elevator had already gone up.

Since no one dared to ride with her, she had the elevator all to herself.

It moved fast .

The assistant frantically slammed the elevator button.

But this was a skyscraper , and she was heading to the 40th floor .

High-level elevators weren’t exactly quick to arrive.

The others watched as the assistant panicked his fingers flying across his phone screen, making rapid calls, repeatedly pressing his phone to his ear.

But whoever he was calling wasn’t answering.

His face grew increasingly desperate .

No way who could have predicted that after beating up President Gu yesterday, she’d casually show up to work today?!

Did she already foresee that President Gu would try to screw her over today?

And now

Now that President Gu had likely already contacted the bank to freeze her accounts and informed Old Master Gu and Madam Hua…

The assistant felt an even deeper sense of doom .

This was definitely going to turn into a disaster.

If they had known this would happen, they should’ve used a different excuse to suspend her!

Why did they have to claim she hadn’t come to work today?!

Meanwhile, Gu Zhaoping walked into her office at a steady pace, completely ignoring the shocked, ghost-sighting expressions thrown her way.

Blocking out external noise and distractions was a very useful skill one she happened to excel at.

Her job title was

“Honorary Financial Advisor.”

She knew this was just a placeholder position.

Whoever came up with this title had clearly racked their brains

Something that sounded important but was entirely useless.

But that was fine.

As long as she was in the workplace, she would redefine the rules.

She tossed her bag aside, took a seat at her desk, and opened her computer.

Her desktop displayed

A solitaire game .

And a poker game .

Her gaze lingered for a moment before shifting to the only other notable icon

A single folder.

She clicked on it.

The ultimate Russian nesting doll of folders unfolded before her.

One hidden within another, each containing several decoy layers.

When she opened the first folder

It was completely empty.

Another folder inside.

Open it

Another folder.

What the hell is so important in here?

Had Miss Gu planned for this all along?

Her brows arched slightly.

Her workaholic instincts tingled with interest

This was suspicious .

And interesting .

After unlocking more than ten layers , she finally reached the last encrypted folder.

She took out her ID card and tried a passcode.

It failed.

Without hesitation, she messaged the person she was currently most familiar with Fang Yining.

What’s my fiancé’s birthday?

Fang Yining: [?]

What’s this?

Fiancé?

Since when did she start calling Shen Yifeng that?

Has she turned into some poetic romantic after fighting with him?

Wait, how does she not know his birthday?!

Despite her confusion, Fang Yining dutifully sent the date over.

Gu Zhaoping entered it.

The folder unlocked .

Her expression remained unreadable.

Miss Gu, good thing I know you well.

A slight smirk was about to form on her lips

Until she saw the contents of the folder.

Gu Zhaoping: “…”

Wait.

Miss Gu

I guess I don’t actually know you that well after all.
