The butler's status is inherently higher than the driver's; there's no comparison. It's only natural that the host would treat the butler better than the driver, just like a boss would definitely favor executives and give them better treatment than ordinary employees.
It's just that Feng Qi is getting old and his mind isn't as sharp anymore. He feels that he has the highest seniority in the Gu family and has served them his whole life, but he is not as good as someone who has only served for seven or eight years, so he suddenly felt resentful.
However, if her son doesn't become a villain, then no one would try to turn him against his side, and naturally, the subsequent assumptions would be invalid. Could it be that even without her son, a second or third villain, who would also try to turn their driver against his side, would take his place?
Qiao Wanqing facepalmed. This was a really tough question.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Yanqing asked, holding Koukou and seeing Qiao Wanqing lost in thought.
He held Koukou, who was sleeping, but it was clearly not as good as Feng Qi's. Koukou squirmed unhappily in his arms several times, as if it was about to wake up. He quickly adjusted his sitting position, put its feet flat, and let Koukou lie on its side.
She Koukou once before stopping her fuss.
What a little emperor!
"Nothing."
Qiao Wanqing snapped out of her reverie and was amused by her own thoughts. Unless Gu Yanqing stopped taking cars altogether, the potential risks would always remain.
"Oh, right," Qiao Wanqing suddenly remembered something, "Don't let Mrs. Gu know about Koukou's existence. I'm worried that after what happened, she'll investigate me."
Miss Tan will probably not say anything for the sake of her own position, but she is afraid that Mrs. Gu will find out by investigating her herself.
Gu Yanqing nodded.
Qiao Wanqing sighed as she recalled the melodramatic encounter she had just witnessed, and said, "Do you think Mrs. Gu will come looking for me tomorrow and offer me 1 million to leave her son?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanqing chuckled, "What are you thinking?"
"That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas."
"Well, but 1 million won't be enough to settle this now, it has to be 10 million."
Qiao Wanqing: "..."
She suddenly felt a little sorry for the original owner of this body who was only given 200,000 yuan.
Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Qiao Wanqing knew that Gu Yanqing still had to go back to deal with Mrs. Gu Miss Tan's matters, so she didn't want to delay him any longer. She picked up her bag, hugged Koukou, and said, "I brought some dried fruit and vegetables for Yuan Yuan, which I left in your car. Thank you for today."
Gu Yanqing didn't say anything and let her go back.
But just as Qiao Wanqing put Koukou to bed and fell asleep, took off the high heels that had made her feet hurt, and removed her slightly smudged makeup, she received a call from Gu Yanqing, asking her to come downstairs.
Qiao Wanqing had no idea what he was up to, so she went downstairs in her slippers and without makeup.
Gu Yanqing was standing under a tree in the green belt at the hotel entrance. Qiao Wanqing walked over and asked, "Is there anything else, President Gu?"
Gu Yanqing looked up at her.
Although Qiao Wanqing didn't look as good without makeup, she was still very beautiful in President Gu's eyes. She lacked the glamorous beauty that makeup could create, but gained a touch of innocence.
"Here, take this," Gu Yanqing handed over the bag, "Ointment for frostbite and hand cream."
Qiao Wanqing: "..."
Is it really necessary to be this considerate...?
Qiao Wanqing instinctively wanted to refuse, Gu Yanqing, as if expecting this, politely replied, "Take it, consider it a thank-you gift to Koukou Fruit and Vegetable Dried Fruit."
Since things have been said to this extent, it would be impolite for Qiao Wanqing not to accept it.
"Then I..." Qiao Wanqing pointed to the door, "... will I go upstairs first?"
Gu Yanqing nodded.
But just as Qiao Wanqing turned to leave, Gu Yanqing suddenly called out to her, " Qiao Wanqing, why don't we give it a try?"
"???" Qiao Wanqing looked completely bewildered, wondering if she had misheard. "Try... try what?"
"Let's give it a try."
"Are you kidding me? It's not funny at all."
Gu Yanqing didn't speak, but merely lifted his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently, his true feelings obvious.
Qiao Wanqing: "..."
Holy crap, they're serious?
And then, with a sudden, direct approach, Qiao Wanqing froze on the spot.
She could vaguely sense that Gu Yanqing's attitude and opinion of her had been changing, but she never imagined it would turn into... love?
Actually, it wasn't unexpected. Gu Yanqing's attitude towards her was too obvious. the Luos today clearly didn't need to schedule a time in the evening, but Gu Yanqing insisted on scheduling it for the evening, obviously to make her stay overnight.
But this can be loosely interpreted as him just finding a reason to get her to bring Koukou over.
Pretending to be husband and wife is an open secret.
Qiao Wanqing always felt that she was just an ordinary woman, without any special abilities or attractive features. Apart from having a pretty face, she had nothing outstanding.
However, Gu Yanqing was never short of beautiful women.
Furthermore, influenced by the original book, Gu Yanqing's attitude towards Qiao Wanqing in the book can be described as terrible, which is already quite polite. He was disgusted by Qiao Wanqing.
Therefore, every time Qiao Wanqing thought this way, she felt that she was just being delusional.
Thinking of this, Qiao Wanqing gave an awkward laugh, "The moonlight is really beautiful tonight."
Gu Yanqing: "..."
" Wanqing." Gu Yanqing called her name, omitting her surname, and said in a low voice, "I'm serious."
Seeing that she couldn't get away with it by laughing it off, Qiao Wanqing stopped smiling and said, "I'm serious, Mr. Gu, we're not a good match."
"What's wrong with it?" Gu Yanqing wasn't fooled.
"Putting aside the issue of whether we're a good match, the fact that I'm definitely not leaving this place for the next five years unless something major happens is a major turning point. President Gu has his own career and wouldn't give it up for me, so we'd be in a long-distance relationship. That's so painful, isn't it?"
