“Oh come on, Deputy Secretary Gu, why are you even more old-fashioned than me? This is a new society now, dance halls are just places for singing and dancing. What’s improper about that? That tigress from Workshop One, Xuan Hongxia, she and several other women all went there. They said it’s really fun, aside from being expensive, there’s nothing wrong with it. Deputy Secretary Gu, you should go check it out next time too! The owner there is good friends with your uncle. Xiao Chu said if you mention Director Gu’s name, you can even get a 20% discount!”  

The man kept talking endlessly, not noticing that Gu Jianshe’s expression was growing darker and darker. 

He even asked, “Deputy Secretary Gu, do you know what kind of company your aunt is starting? Honestly, your aunt is really impressive, just her looks aside, she’s even better at making money. She can earn one or two thousand a month. No wonder she can afford to start a company, she’s definitely going to make big money in the future.”

Gu Jianshe clenched his teeth, cursing inwardly. 

Not a single word was what he wanted to hear. He couldn’t understand where things had gone wrong, how had the situation turned out like this?

In the past, if any woman in the factory dressed even a little more attractively, there would be all sorts of gossip behind her back. 

Chu Qiao had even gone to work at a dance hall, so why were these people speaking up for her instead?

Has the times really changed? 

“Not sure, I’ll ask later.” 

Gu Jianshe forced a smile, no longer wanting to continue talking with this fool. 

The publicity must not have been strong enough, he would find a few more people to spread the word harder. 

He refused to believe he couldn’t ruin Chu Qiao’s reputation.

Just as Gu Jianshe turned to leave, he heard the gossiping worker shout loudly, “Director Gu, let me ask you something!”

Startled, Gu Jianshe quickened his pace. He didn’t want to run into Gu Ye, but after only a few steps, Gu Ye appeared and slung an arm over his shoulder, leaving him unable to move.

“What is it?”

With a joyful smile, Gu Ye embraced Gu Jianshe. However, the hand behind his back gave him a sharp pinch.

He was already aware of all the rumors circulating around the workshop over the past few days, which had all been sparked by his beloved nephew.

Luckily, his wife was smart and had handled the matter discreetly. However, this score would undoubtedly be settled.

“What kind of business is your wife Xiao Chu starting?” The employee asked in a casual tone while grinning. 

Gu Ye had a good relationship with the people in the workshop, so everyone spoke freely with him.

“She’s just starting something for fun with a friend, it seems like a jewelry company.” 

Gu Ye said, deliberately making it sound more impressive. 

And he wasn’t wrong, pearls were jewelry, after all.

By now, quite a few people had gathered around. Hearing this, they immediately looked at him with newfound respect. 

“That’s incredible, Director Gu, you’re really blessed to have married such a beautiful and capable wife.”

Gu Ye’s eyes crinkled as he smiled. 

“Exactly, I’ve got the best luck in the whole factory. Jianshe, don’t you think so?”

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Jianshe’s forehead, and he sucked in sharp breaths from the pain, yet he didn’t dare make a sound. 

He cared about his dignity, not like Gu Ye, who was shameless and thick-skinned.

“Yes, Uncle… I’ll head back to the office.”

Gu Jianshe struggled a little, but Gu Ye didn’t let go. 

He pinched him hard a few more times before finally releasing his nephew. 

As if granted a pardon, Gu Jianshe hurried away like he was escaping, his heart filled with anger and bitterness. 

That wretched woman Chu Qiao was actually starting a jewelry company, did she even deserve it?

But earning one hundred and fifty a night meant four to five thousand a month, and tens of thousands a year, she really could afford to start a company. 

Damn it, if he had known Chu Qiao was a golden goose, he would never have let her go, as now all the benefits had gone to Gu Ye!
