The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 964 - 363: Gu Qing Has a Girlish Heart Too

Although Gu Qing held the largest shares in RQ Group at the time, even as the granddaughter of the former chairman, the other minor shareholders looked down on her because her expertise didn’t match the company’s needs. Some individuals with ulterior motives went to great lengths to trouble Gu Qing, hoping to make her retreat in the face of difficulties.

One shareholder went to an extreme by kidnapping Gu Qing’s sister, Gu Xiyan, in an attempt to force Gu Qing to hand over her shares.

Gu Qing dearly loved her half-sister. When their parents passed away, leaving the sisters and their elderly grandfather to depend on each other, they endured hardship. Despite this, Gu Qing willingly suffered herself to give the best to Gu Xiyan, ensuring she attended the best schools and avoiding any discomfort or suffering for her.

When that shareholder kidnapped Gu Xiyan, Gu Qing almost relinquished her shares. Luckily, the place where Gu Xiyan was held was next door to the villa where Song Qiao stayed after having her baby, arranged by Chu Munan.

One morning, Song Qiao noticed something unusual next door while out for a run. She faintly heard cries for help, and out of curiosity, sneaked in after people left the villa, and accidentally rescued Gu Xiyan.

Song Qiao was utterly shocked at the time. Initially, she only wanted to investigate the situation and planned to call the cops if someone truly needed help. Surprisingly, the shareholder seemed inexperienced with kidnapping, leaving Gu Xiyan tied up in the backyard under the guard of a big wolfhound. Since Song Qiao had fed the wolfhound before, it didn’t bark when it saw her, allowing her to effortlessly rescue Gu Xiyan...

Subsequent events unfolded at a pace that overwhelmed her.

Upon learning Song Qiao saved Gu Xiyan, Gu Qing thanked her personally. Somehow, they inexplicably became best friends. Initially, Song Qiao thought little of it, but Gu Qing etchingly remembered her in her heart.

After settling Gu Xiyan, Gu Qing launched a major overhaul within RQ Group. Song Qiao then summoned Ji Sifan to help Gu Qing reclaim most shares from the minor shareholders. Though all those shares were supposed to go to Gu Qing, she gifted them directly to Song Qiao.

Once again, mysteriously, Song Qiao became the Vice President of RQ Group.

Yet who would’ve thought that despite being the Vice President of RQ Group, Song Qiao was completely hands-off, not managing its affairs. Instead, she resumed her old role, becoming an agent within the company.

Her artist currently is Gu Xiyan.

While Gu Qing didn’t oppose Gu Xiyan becoming an artist, she didn’t pull strings to elevate her status, as she desired her sister to be self-sufficient and independent.

Gu Xiyan, not letting anyone down, steadily climbed up the ladder. After five years of cultivation and training under Song Qiao’s guidance, she eventually blossomed into an international actress.

She’s only twenty-two years old now. Everyone says her capabilities surpass even Zuo Yuqing’s from back then and Song Xi’s from three years ago. Given time, as long as she continues progressing steadily, she will certainly become the world’s most spotlighted idol.

As for Zuo Yuqing and Song Xi, Song Qiao occasionally heard news about the former, such as which movie she acted in, how she achieved a remarkable score in Hollywood, or gossip about romance with some man, or like appearing at the United States Oscar Festival alongside Lu Jingchen.

Regarding the latter, Song Xi would occasionally call her. Song Qiao had long let go of past grievances with her half-sister, and their sisterly relationship was fairly decent.

Through Song Xi’s words, Song Qiao learned her father had already recovered and resumed managing Song Group three years ago. She also learned her father divorced Song Xi’s mother two years ago.

She even knows that the child she had Ning Wan deliver to Lu Jingchen five years ago has been cared for by him all along, although Song Xi hadn’t met the little one since Lu Jingchen guarded them well.

Gu Qing had already set aside her work, opened the dessert box before her, releasing a tantalizing aroma that filled the office air, making one drool uncontrollably.

She glanced up to see Song Qiao deep in thought, seemingly lost in another world. Gu Qing popped a cake into her mouth and after finishing, seeing Song Qiao still daydreaming, finally asked, "Song Qiao, what are you thinking about?"

Song Qiao snapped back to reality, looked at Gu Qing, and smiled while teasingly saying, "I was just thinking about how the employees would react if they knew their stern-looking female boss surprisingly loves cakes, especially pink ones."

Gu Qing indeed had an affinity for pink, as if she still possessed a pinkish youthful heart.

Gu Qing didn’t mind, took a sip from her water cup, popped another cake into her mouth, and laughed, "Because I’m still a girl, what’s strange about it? Besides, they wouldn’t know, right?"

Apart from some senior executives and those in the presidential secretary office, Gu Qing rarely met outsiders, so few truly knew her real self.

Moreover, she always presented a stern facade to outsiders, akin to a strong woman, never revealing girlish traits.

Gazing at Gu Qing, Song Qiao felt an indescribable ache, for she understood better than anyone that Gu Qing bears pressures and burdens that ordinary people can’t fathom. Her responsibilities far exceeded general expectations.

No one in this lifetime may fully grasp the hardships Gu Qing braved through over the years. Numerous joys others experience are struggles she tirelessly attained.

Noticing Song Qiao’s sudden silence, Gu Qing glanced at her once before shifting the topic, directly saying, "Song Qiao, Xiyan’s heading to An City for a film shoot; why don’t you accompany her?"

An City...

Upon hearing Gu Qing’s words, Song Qiao’s body stiffened immediately. Her face became expressionless, as if immobilized. Regaining composure, she asked again, "Are you saying Xiyan has a film to shoot in An City, and you want me to accompany her?"
