Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi again and began to feel sorry for PA Wen. He was supposed to be on leave, but Gu Juexi made him work nevertheless.

“Ma Mei, Ma Zhong’s sister who was supposed to be studying quit school because her parents fell ill. I visited their parents and found out that they wish Ma Mei could continue her studies. I told them that Gu Enterprise does offer funding for students who need financial help and that I would submit the application for Ma Mei, but Ma Zhong didn’t seem too happy about it.”

Ye Yuwei heard what PA Wen said and thought that it wasn’t unexpected that Ma Zhong refused their help. After all, they had once held grudges against each other.

“He will accept it.” Gu Juexi knew his comrade. PA Wen stopped clinging to the issue after that.

“As for the job for Ma Zhong and the other retired soldiers, I figured that since Gu Enterprise has many subsidiary companies that might need employees of different talents, why don’t we give priority to retired soldiers?” PA Wen suggested.

They couldn’t guarantee that they could help all of the retired soldiers but they would do what they could.

“Retired soldiers will get paid double.”

“Noted, I will get the human resources department to prepare the necessary documents and circulate them to all our subsidiary companies. The new policies will be implemented starting tomorrow,” said PA Wen after a short pause.

PA Wen ended the call and started working on it when Gu Juexi had no further comments.

“You look like you can’t live without PA Wen! The poor guy is on leave, Juexi. Can’t you just leave him alone?” Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi who was putting away his phone and scolded, but Gu Juexi didn’t see anything wrong with what he was doing. How could he be blamed when he knew PA Wen before Xiao Yaojing did?

Not wanting to piss Ye Yuwei off, Gu Juexi did not say that out loud.

When they arrived at the SRC, the police were there to arrest Bai Xiaolian for defamation.

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi got the news as they were leaving after their meeting with the SRC.

[Yaojing: Two thumbs up for your man!]

Ye Yuwei looked at the man who had just opened the car door for her then looked back at her phone.

[Yezi: What do you mean?

Yaojing: Didn’t you watch the news? Bai Xiaolian was arrested for defamation and causing billions in losses for Gu Enterprise two hours ago.

Yezi: Are you serious?

Yezi: I had no idea, I was just leaving the SRC. No wonder they didn’t pick on me that much this time!]

Gu Juexi opened the car door for Ye Yuwei who went into the car smilingly.

Gu Juexi waited for Ye Yuwei to get into the car before he went to the other side and got in.

“Yaojing said Bai Xiaolian was arrested. Did you do it?” asked Ye Yuwei while typing on her phone.

“Why would I let her roam freely out there?” Gu Juexi scoffed. He frowned and looked at the time, as if thinking about something.

A classic Gu Juexi reply.

“The university administration must feel so troubled now. They probably would want to cancel the talk. I figure Professor Zhou might call anytime soon,” Ye Yuwei said and waved her phone in front of Gu Juexi.

“No, I have to give the talk,” said Gu Juexi. When else could he propose if not during the talk?

“Why didn’t you inform the university if you are willing to give the talk?” Surprised at Gu Juexi’s decision, Ye Yuwei looked at him in disbelief and asked, “the suspense must have bothered them.”

“They didn’t include Mrs. Gu on the first invitation, and Mr. Gu was not happy about it,” Gu Juexi said firmly and glanced at Ye Yuwei.
