Chapter 285 No Moral Character to Speak Of

"I would never betray you after using you, I guarantee it with my integrity." Gu Shixi met Jiang Ruan's gaze and spoke quickly.

“Those two have no morals whatsoever.” Mo Mo’s face was expressionless, and his tone was flat and emotionless. “I just overheard them talking badly about you behind your back.”

Jiang Ruan looked over.

Mo Mo then said, "For your safety, we will return to Haicheng."

"It's not that serious." Jiang Ruan walked towards them, her voice softer than usual. "I've already talked to President Gu, so you don't need to worry."

Mo Mo persisted, "But..."

“If you’re really worried, then go and draft a contract.” Jiang Ruan said very calmly, “I will take care of Huo Zhizhou here for a week, and President Gu will give me one percent of the shares of Gu’s Group as compensation.”

Gu Shixi: "???"

Assistant Jiang: "?"

Both of them were stunned.

Gu Shixi recalled what he had said earlier: "Did I say that?"

"No." Jiang Ruan wouldn't let herself take care of Huo Zhizhou unconditionally here. She would set conditions to avoid a lot of trouble after Huo Zhizhou woke up. "I can't just include an invalid clause in the contract that says I kill someone and you hand me a knife."

Gu Shixi fell silent.

Jiang Ruan asked calmly, "If you have any good suggestions, you can speak up."

“I have it,” Mo Mo said.

The three of them looked over in unison.

Gu Shixi and Jiang's assistant had a feeling that he wouldn't say anything nice.

“We can sign a one-year employment contract with President Gu.” Mo Mo was a loyal follower and ruthless towards others. “You can fill in the job details yourself, as long as it’s legal.”

"No..." Gu Shixi's mind went blank. "Didn't we just agree on something?"

Mo Mo spoke up for Jiang Ruan: "Did you sign a contract with my boss?"

Gu Shixi shook his head: "No."

Mo Mo was very direct: "Anything that isn't clearly written down in black and white is fake. If you go back on your word later, we won't have any evidence."

Gu Shixi: "?"

Gu Shixi pointed to himself: "Is my character trustworthy?"

"Before you conspired with Huo Zhizhou to trick me into selling the ring, I was certain of your abilities," Jiang Ruan said bluntly. "Now, I can't believe it."

Gu Shixi's head was buzzing.

Mo Mo didn't give him a chance to think and continued, "If you don't agree, we won't force you. These things are all about mutual consent."

"If you don't agree, will you stay?" Gu Shixi asked Jiang Ruan.

“If you don’t want to keep her, I will take her away without hesitation.” Mo Mo knew that as an assistant, she had to make sure her boss wasn’t held responsible and take the blame herself without hesitation. “If she doesn’t want to, I’ll knock her out and take her away.”

Gu Shixi: "?"

Assistant Jiang: "?"

The two men stared at Jiang Ruan, as if to say, "You dare to use such a dangerous bodyguard?"

Mo Mo urged him, "You have thirty seconds to make a decision. If you don't sign the contract, we're leaving."

Gu Shixi's mind was filled with a series of question marks.

Why should he be the one to sign this contract?

He's just a friend!!!

"Just sign it," Assistant Jiang said, not wanting to miss out on the drama. "The boss will make sure you suffer any losses."

impossible.

Huo Er was already being kind enough not to blame him for telling Jiang Ruan what happened back then, so how could he possibly go out of his way to make up for it?

Mo Mo: "Twenty seconds."

Gu Shixi glanced at Jiang Ruan: "Can you bear to see Sui Sui lose her father at such a young age?"

"He..." Jiang Ruan only managed to utter one word before Mo Mo interrupted her.

“Young Master will not be without a father.” Mo Mo’s tone was like a robot. “As long as Miss Jiang is alive, Miss Jiang can find him as many fathers as he wants.”

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Mo Mo: "Mm."

Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

It's good to leave such an impression, regarding the division of interests.

"Ten seconds." Mo Mo looked at Gu Shixi.

"Let me ask first, what do I need to do under this employment contract?" Gu Shixi didn't want to be fooled, so he asked in advance, "You can't expect me to work for a million-dollar annual salary while I'm only earning 1,500 yuan."

Mo Mo looked at Jiang Ruan.

It's clear that the final interpretation right belongs to my boss.

“I won’t actually make you work; it’s just to create a safety net for each other,” Jiang Ruan said rationally. “For the next year, if Huo Zhizhou causes me trouble, you have to stand by my side and help me resolve it.”

Gu Shixi: "He won't cause you any trouble."

He wants to make up now, so why would he cause trouble?

This is not how you can be so stupid.

"I'll define what trouble is." Jiang Ruan knew this wasn't a good idea, but she really didn't want to go through that kind of life again.

Gu Shixi hesitated.

Assistant Jiang spoke up, "We both know what kind of person Miss Jiang is. We invited her here to take care of the BOSS, so we should show some sincerity. Don't forget that she could have just ignored everything."

"Okay." Gu Shixi gritted his teeth and agreed. At worst, he could ask Si Ning for help if something went wrong. "Where's the contract? I'll sign it."

"I'll give it to you tonight." Mo Mo immediately switched to a more respectful address, but his face remained expressionless. "I still need to discuss the specific details with the boss."

Gu Shixi: "Not thirty seconds?"

Mo Mo: "That's to give you time to think."

Gu Shixi: "..."

"If there's nothing else, please leave now," Mo Mo said politely, her gaze unchanging. "I still have work to report to my boss."

Gu Shixi and Assistant Jiang exchanged a glance, communicating with each other through their eyes.

Gu Shixi: If I remember correctly, this is our territory.

Jiang Special Assistant: Yes.

Gu Shixi: Isn't this kid a bit too arrogant?

Jiang Special Assistant: Normal.

Gu Shixi frowned slightly. Something was definitely wrong!

I've never seen a mere bodyguard dare to threaten him like this before.

Assistant Jiang glanced towards the door, his eyes reminding him: After all, the two of us combined are no match for him.

"You two can speak freely." Mo Mo noticed their exchange of glances. "My boss and I are both reasonable people, and we will adopt reasonable opinions."

Gu Shixi: "No."

Mo Mo, with her keen observation skills, asked: "Are you afraid of me?"

Gu Shixi: "???"

Gu Shixi: "!!!"

Gu Shixi immediately straightened his clothes with an air of authority, looking at Mo Mo at eye level, who was also 1.85 meters tall: "I am the president of Gu's Group."

Mo Mo: "And then?"

Gu Shixi: "He has countless bodyguards under his command."

Mo Mo: "?"

Gu Shixi: "Why would I be afraid of you?"

“Because your bodyguards aren’t here, even if you and this Assistant Jiang are together, you won’t be able to withstand a single blow from me.” Mo Mo stated the facts word by word, yet his face remained expressionless. “If I wanted to, I could beat you both down in an instant.”

Gu Shixi gritted his teeth, wanting to punch someone.

But they just couldn't beat them.

Seeing this childish conversation and exchange, Jiang Ruan turned and walked towards the hospital bed, no longer participating in their struggle.

Noticing this, Assistant Jiang followed closely behind and called out to her as she sat down, "Miss Jiang."
