Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 I Want to Break Up with You

Gu Wei sat at the back of the team, with everyone in front of him chatting, but he alone was bowing his head to read the documents, appearing aloof and noble, incongruous with the people beside him.

Han Ningzhen said, “So Su Meixi’s boyfriend works in research and development.”

Qi Anran hesitated for a moment, “I heard that the people who make it into this kind of team are all highly educated top talents.”

“Is that so?” asked Han Ningzhen.

“Of course, at the very least they have a graduate degree, and from top universities no less.”

“Then they must have high salaries, right?”

“I have a classmate in this team, he’s just an entry-level clerk. He started off with an annual salary of over 300,000 yuan. If he works for a few years, he could get up to over 500,000.”

Han Ningzhen clicked her tongue in wonder.

By that measure, Gu Wei’s salary must be at least 600,000 yuan. No wonder he could afford a large apartment and even buy his girlfriend a Land Rover.

She unconsciously let go of Qi Anran’s arm.

The introduction segment of the new product launch finished, and what followed was a time for exchanging visits and free activities.

This was when social interaction skills were put to the test.

Han Ningzhen, carrying a wine glass, led Qi Anran to toast some VIPs.

Qi Anran was quite reserved and couldn’t loosen up. Plus, being just an ordinary doctor not skilled in socializing, people merely greeted him and then moved on.

He felt decidedly frustrated.

Han Ningzhen, seeing him like this, felt she couldn’t hold him up.

Turning around, she saw a few foreigners surrounding Gu Wei.

The launch event had attracted many foreigners, who were heading back to resell the new life detection devices. They needed the research and development staff to answer some technical questions.

And these questions happened to be Gu Wei’s strong suit.

Han Ningzhen was stunned to hear Gu Wei switch between English, French, German, and Japanese to describe the product.

Handsome, skilled, and capable, Gu Wei easily overshadowed Qi Anran.

In every aspect, Gu Wei outperformed Qi Anran!

“Ningzhen, that director of the second hospital you introduced me to earlier, I heard he was once a god of surgery. I want to go ask him a few questions,” said Qi Anran, trying to pull on Han Ningzhen.

But Han Ningzhen shook off his hand.

Qi Anran was stunned. Why had Han Ningzhen, who was so enthusiastic when they came, suddenly turned cold?

“Anran, you’re an adult, almost 30, if you want to seek advice, just go by yourself. Do I need to lead you around? If I keep escorting you, people might think I am taking my son around.”

Han Ningzhen was unapologetically harsh.

Qi Anran’s entire face changed.

But he had his pride. Since Han Ningzhen had said that, he went on his own.

Several people surrounded the director of the second hospital, and Qi Anran had to wait a long time for a chance to speak. When he finally did, he forgot what he wanted to say. The director, seeing him struggle, turned to talk to someone else.

Qi Anran felt utterly disheartened.

He couldn’t help but want to find Han Ningzhen again. At this moment, he needed her comfort.

However, after searching around in the hall, he saw Han Ningzhen standing by Gu Wei, gazing at him with affection.

Finally, when Gu Wei finished speaking, Han Ningzhen looked up to him with girlish admiration, “Mr. Gu, you’re so amazing. Oh, and do you remember me?”

Gu Wei glanced at Han Ningzhen, recognizing her as the archenemy of Su Meixi, the one who tried to set up Su Meixi with that Mr. Ma last week.

He responded coldly, “I don’t remember.”

“I’m from the third hospital, Dr. Su’s colleague. Dr. Su really, she never brings you to the hospital activities. If I hadn’t come today, I would’ve never known you’re so impressive. You even speak four languages.” @@novelbin@@

Gu Wei didn’t respond to her.

He could speak more than just four languages—he knew a few small languages as well, plus Mandarin and Cantonese, totaling eight languages. That made him more impressive than the little boy working in the tourist area who was featured in the news.

“Mr. Gu, next week our hospital is also having a celebration event. It’s actually related to Dr. Su, who facilitated the introduction of an advanced device to our third hospital. Would you like to join us? You can bring your family.”

Gu Wei seemed to find her annoying, and now that the foreign businessmen had left, he felt his duties were complete. So he walked out.

Han Ningzhen quickly followed him, “Mr. Gu, if you don’t answer, I’ll take that as a yes. Where are you heading now?”

Qi Anran, seeing Han Ningzhen chase after Gu Wei, felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He knew better than anyone what Han Ningzhen’s actions meant.

Having worked at the hospital for so long, it was common knowledge that Han Ningzhen changed boyfriends more often than she changed clothes.

At least clothing could be worn for several months, but none of her boyfriends lasted more than three.

However, he couldn’t let go and rushed after Han Ningzhen.

“Ningzhen, where are you going?” Qi Anran grabbed Han Ningzhen’s hand.

Han Ningzhen shook him off, “Let go.”

“I won’t let you go.”

Seeing Gu Wei about to walk away, Han Ningzhen forcibly pushed Qi Anran aside and angrily declared, “Qi Anran, I am breaking up with you right now, unilaterally!”

Qi Anran stumbled backward from the push, bumping into a waiter carrying red wine. The tray wasn’t held steady, and it all fell to the ground, shattering with a crisp crackling sound, the red wine spreading everywhere.

The noise attracted everyone’s attention.

All eyes turned to them, only to see Han Ningzhen and Qi Anran struggling against each other.

Qi Anran, seeing Han Ningzhen so unfeeling, and having just been slighted inside, was incensed.

He bellowed, “Han Ningzhen, have you fallen for someone else’s boyfriend? Do you like coveting others’ boyfriends that much?”

Han Ningzhen, uncaring about others’ opinions, scoffed, “Yeah, who told you to be worse in every way? Qi Anran, keep the 100,000 yuan I lent you for the car; consider it your breakup fee!”

“You…” Qi Anran raised his hand, intending to slap Han Ningzhen.

Yet, he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Firstly, there were too many people around; secondly, no matter what, Han Ningzhen was still the hospital director’s daughter. Hitting her meant facing a bleak future in his department.

Crying, he muttered, “When you first pursued me, I gave up such a great girlfriend to be with you, but I never expected you were just playing me…”

Karma!

Han Ningzhen ignored him and rushed outside to look for Gu Wei, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Inside the venue, cleaning staff were tidying up the shattered wine bottles and the stained floor.

Qi Anran sat to one side, mumbling to himself, looking like a man who had lost his soul.

Inside, the murmurs spread, “Who is that person?”
