After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 153 Talking about Love

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down: "Okay, let's stop arguing, it's pointless. Did you even ask for my opinion when you said you were doing this for my own good?"

"Old Mo, what do you think? Is this project worth a try?" I felt that Jiang Yichen and I had different opinions, and there was no point in arguing any further.

Old Mo looked at me, then at Jiang Yichen, and finally spoke slowly: "I think this project is indeed worth a try, but we also need to make thorough preparations and risk assessments. We can develop a detailed plan first, and then decide whether to officially invest."

Jiang Yichen's expression softened slightly after hearing Lao Mo's words, but he still insisted on his opinion: "Even if we are to try, Xiaoyu should not be in charge. This project is too risky, and she lacks experience, making it difficult for her to handle any potential problems."

Hearing this, I became even more determined to do this project: "It's precisely because there are risks that I want to try. I believe in my abilities, and I believe our team can overcome the difficulties together. Jiang Yichen, you can't stop me from pursuing opportunities for growth just because you're afraid of failure!"

Jiang Yichen's attitude was firm, interrupting me: "Just because you're a streamer in my company, I say no and that's final. There's no room for discussion on this decision."

I was enraged by his overbearing attitude: "Jiang Yichen, you're being completely unreasonable! This is clearly a golden opportunity to attract viewers and improve our live stream content."

Old Mo chimed in, "Yes, President Jiang, I think Gu Mo has grown a lot over this period of time. Why not give her a chance and let her try? After all, new experiences can bring new growth."

Jiang Yichen ignored Lao Mo and directly ordered me: "You, come into my office and we'll talk."

I stormed into Jiang Yichen's office, ready to launch into a passionate speech to persuade him to change his mind.

However, Jiang Yichen suddenly threw a phone in front of me, and the screen showed a photo of me and Zhao Ning discussing a problem in the classroom.

I was stunned, looking at Jiang Yichen with confusion: "What do you mean by this? Where did you get these photos?"

Jiang Yichen coldly replied, "You don't need to know where I got it from. You just need to explain what this photo is all about."

A surge of anger welled up inside me: "Jiang Yichen, did you have someone spying on me? This is an invasion of my privacy!"

Jiang Yichen denied it, saying, "I'm not that bored. But, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. I sent you to school so that you could study hard, not so that you could go and date."

I was so angry at his words that my face turned red: "What makes you think I was talking about love? That photo was just me explaining a problem to Zhao Ning!"

Jiang Yichen persisted: "Explaining a problem? Does explaining a problem require standing so close? Does it require smiling so happily? Don't think I can't see through your little schemes."

I was speechless: "Jiang Yichen, are you being reasonable?! Our relationship isn't what you think at all! Besides, what does this have to do with you trying to stop my live-streaming project?"

Jiang Yichen, however, remained adamant: "It is related. I don't want you to let personal matters distract you from your work. That live-streaming project is too risky; you're not suitable to participate."

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down: "Jiang Yichen, you can't judge me based on just one photo. Besides, this live-streaming project is very important to me, and I'm confident I can do it well. I hope you can respect my decision."

Jiang Yichen looked at me, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but in the end he didn't budge: "I've made up my mind about this, there's no room for discussion. You can leave now."

I realized that arguing any further would be pointless, so I decided to get straight to the point: "Jiang Yichen, can we stop talking about these irrelevant things and get back to the cooperation with the Entrepreneurship Association?"

Jiang Yichen frowned slightly and asked, "Was it with that Zhao Ning too?"

"First of all, Zhao Ning is my partner; secondly, what happened yesterday was an accident."

I paused for a moment, then continued, "Finally, this collaboration is mainly carried out with some members of the school; Zhao Ning is just my assistant."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen refused without hesitation: "I disagree."

I frowned, staring at Jiang Yichen, a strange sense of irritation rising within me. Suddenly, I leaned closer to him and said, half-jokingly, "Are you jealous?"

Jiang Yichen's face instantly darkened. He stood up abruptly and said in a low but firm voice, "Don't make such pointless jokes. I'm opposing this project because of your work, not because of Zhao Ning."

Seeing his reaction, I realized that I might have touched a nerve.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down: "I know you may have your own considerations, but this collaboration is really important to me. I promise that I will handle my relationship with Zhao Ning properly and will not let personal feelings affect my work."

Jiang Yichen looked at me, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Gu Mo, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just worried that you'll get into unnecessary trouble because of this collaboration. You know, relationships in this industry are complicated, and I don't want to see you make the wrong decision because of a moment of impulse."

I nodded seriously: "I understand your concerns, but I trust my judgment. This collaboration will not only bring new highlights to our live streaming content, but also provide valuable exposure opportunities for startups. I believe that as long as we put our hearts into it, we will definitely achieve good results."

Looking into my determined eyes, Jiang Yichen seemed to have been persuaded by me.

He frowned and said coldly, "If you want to participate, you can. I'll give you five minutes to convince me."

I breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay. Thank you for your understanding and support."

Faced with Jiang Yichen's ridicule, I tried my best to remain calm and replied, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I really don't understand why you're targeting Zhao Ning like this. We're all just working hard."

Jiang Yichen's expression turned serious: "Since it's for work, then tell me what your specific plans are."

I immediately took out the draft of the plan that I hadn't had time to print out from my bag and began to explain it to Jiang Yichen in detail.

I spoke in a very organized and logical manner, from the background analysis of the project and the positioning of the target audience, to the specific cooperation plan and implementation steps, and even the possible challenges and coping strategies were considered very thoroughly.
