I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 33 - Bo Fan Backstabs Mi Chen
Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Bo Fan Backstabs Mi Chen
Yuan Xi washed her face in a hurry and skipped breakfast to drive and find Gu Hanchen.
Gu Hanchen had three residences and generally stayed at any one of them randomly.
When Yuan Xi arrived at Jiangjing No.1, she went to the top floor and just as she exited the elevator, she received a reply from Qin Yue, hardly daring to believe it was him!
Yuan Xi entered the password and saw a young girl inside.
Both were momentarily stunned upon encountering each other.
“Secretary Yuan.”
Yuan Xi looked at the girl for a moment and asked, “Is Gu Hanchen inside?”
“Mr. Gu is inside,” Zhong Xiaoyi said as she handed Yuan Xi a pair of slippers.
After changing into the slippers, Yuan Xi went to Gu Hanchen’s bedroom.
Gu Hanchen was sleeping soundly in his bedroom while the entire PR department had stayed up all night without proper rest to rush to the company and discuss tactics. Yet, he could afford to sleep sweetly in his bedroom.
“Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu,” Yuan Xi called softly.
Gu Hanchen frowned, opened his eyes, and after rubbing them, he saw Yuan Xi in front of him, “What is it? Can’t you and Huo Shiyuan enjoy your newlywed life and sleep a little more? It’s only eight o’clock, why are you waking me up? I might as well change the password to my house.”
Yuan Xi handed her phone to Gu Hanchen.
Seeing the trending news on his phone, Gu Hanchen cursed softly, “Damn, how could they interpret it like that? I told the female driver to be cautious out of respect for women. I thought my female fans would praise how considerate their husband is!”
Yuan Xi took a deep breath, “Mr. Gu, you aren’t a celebrity and don’t need female fans. The misunderstanding and resistance towards Mi Chen on social media isn’t your fault. There is a wave of marketing accounts and bot armies leading the opinion.”
Gu Hanchen scratched his scalp, “Me, disrespecting women? The top executives at Mi Chen are mostly women! Such injustice, it’s too unfair! If I dare show any disrespect towards female drivers, would my mother and sister let me off?”
“Yuan Xi, is it snowing outside?”
“I feel more wronged than Dou E.”
Yuan Xi indeed believed that Gu Hanchen was respectful towards women, but that he wouldn’t intentionally ridicule or insult female drivers either.
Gu Hanchen got up and called, “Mrs. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong!”
Zhong Xiaoyi came in and said, “My mom went to the hospital to take care of the young lady from yesterday. What do you need, Mr. Gu?”
Gu Hanchen said, “Prepare breakfast for me. I’ll go to the office right after eating. Have you found out who’s leading the opinion? Is it Yu Xin or Mengyou?”
Yu Xin and Mengyou were also well-known game companies in the country; Mengyou was the game company where Gu Hanchen spent and then turned from a fan to a critic. Mi Chen’s customer base overlapped greatly with Mengyou’s.
And Yu Xin mostly targeted female gamers, making it very possible that Yu Xin was behind this.
Yuan Xi lowered her voice, “It’s not them. It’s…”
Yuan Xi thought of the message Qin Yue had sent earlier, slightly at a loss for words.
Gu Hanchen yawned, “Hurry up, when did you start dawdling?”
“It’s Fan Yan.”
“Fan Yan?” Gu Hanchen jumped out of bed, “Fan Yan? How is that possible? Bo Fan is my sworn brother, why would he do this? I’m going to settle this with him!”
Yuan Xi urgently said, “Wait, this was found out by Youzi Film and Television. Don’t confront Bo Fan just yet; just be aware of it. If you really go to him, he won’t admit it.”

Gu Hanchen frowned, “Why would Bo Fan do this to me? Fan Yan and our Forest Pursuit still have collaborations coming up, with the celebrity race being just a month away…”
As Gu Hanchen spoke, Yuan Xi opened a new push notification from Weibo.
#Chao Qing withdraws from Forest Pursuit celebrity race#
#Chao Qing stands up for female driver community#
Chao Qing posted a photo of herself driving, captioned “Driving skills are top-notch (already dropped out of the Forest Pursuit celebrity match)” #BoycottMiChen#
“Chao Qing sis is awesome!”
“I really didn’t support the wrong person.”
Chao Qing’s fan base was growing rapidly, and clearly, this move was very attracting to new followers.
Yuan Xi showed Gu Hanchen Chao Qing’s Weibo.
After Gu Hanchen charged his dead phone, he soon received a call from Bo Fan.
“Hello, Hanchen.”
Gu Hanchen gave Yuan Xi a gesture to keep silent, “Bo Fan.”
Bo Fan’s rich voice came through, “I didn’t know about Chao Qing quitting Forest Pursuit, sorry, she’s now the top celebrity at Fan Yan, she didn’t consult me before taking this action, I’m really sorry, um, do you need my help with the public opinions this time? Could it affect the IPO?”
Gu Hanchen said, “No need, I can handle it myself!”
Gu Hanchen hung up the phone, furrowing his brows tightly, “Even if Chao Qing is the top celebrity at Fan Yan, does she dare to boost her popularity by stepping on me without the company’s approval? She infuriates me, from now on, Mi Chen will absolutely not collaborate with any celebrities from Fan Yan, cancel all endorsements from those celebrities at Fan Yan!”
“Okay,” Yuan Xi responded.
“Mr. Gu, Secretary Yuan, breakfast is ready.”
Gu Hanchen yawned and said, “Yuan Xi has been promoted already, you should call her President Yuan from now on. Aren’t you supposed to be in school?”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’m about to graduate, currently looking for a job.”
“Time really flies, I remember it feels like just recently you were taking your college entrance exam,” Gu Hanchen said, “and now you’re graduating from college.”
Yuan Xi looked at Zhong Xiaoyi, “What was your major in college?”
“Chinese Language and Literature.”
Yuan Xi asked, “Interested in being a secretary at Mi Chen?”
Zhong Xiaoyi gently said, “President Yuan, I might not be up to the task…”
Yuan Xi looked at Zhong Xiaoyi, as if she saw herself five years ago, and said with a light smile, “You have a good temperament, you’d probably be suitable to be Mr. Gu’s secretary.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Yeah, you’d be good as my secretary, but there’s one condition, no having children within thirty years, the annual salary is up to you to decide.”
Zhong Xiaoyi: “Okay.”
Gu Hanchen: “Also, no dating shareholders of the company, no dating during work hours, and if you have children within thirty years, you’ll be a puppy.”
Zhong Xiaoyi paused, not sure why such rules were needed for a secretary, but obediently agreed, “Oh.”
After Gu Hanchen finished breakfast, Yuan Xi urged him, “Hurry up and post a Weibo apology to calm this public outcry.”
Gu Hanchen said, “What’s the rush? Let Bo Fan that sly green tea be happy for a while, wouldn’t the salaries he gives to those marketing accounts and fake supporters be wasted otherwise? See how brotherly I am.”
Yuan Xi said, “If we delay, a simple apology might not suffice later. Why not let HR recruit a few more female drivers to be Mi Chen’s company drivers, to clearly show that Mi Chen has always respected female drivers. Now that Mi Chen’s IPO is a crucial point, you better settle this matter peacefully soon.”
Gu Han: “Relax, I won’t let your husband’s assets suffer.”
Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen got off at the garage, and ran into Chu Yan.
Yuan Xi kept urging Gu Hanchen to hurry and post an apology, “Mr. Gu, stop messing around, hurry up and issue a Weibo apology to calm the storm.”
Chu Yan seeing Gu Hanchen said, “Sister, Hanchen is the young master of the Gu Family, are you having him condescend and apologize to netizens? Nowadays, female netizens just take themselves too seriously, this issue with the female driver is not a big deal. We girls aren’t as good as boys at driving anyway.
Hanchen, don’t take it to heart, the netizens’ anger will pass in a while, there’s no need to demean yourself by apologizing to them, if you need help just reach out to me and Bo Fan, Fan Yan supports plenty of marketing accounts that can help calm the public opinion.”
Yuan Xi looked at Chu Yan, seemingly unaware of Bo Fan’s betrayal.
