Chapter 7

Before I met Gu Xiaoyan, I had actually heard Nie Feng mention her a few times.

Her name first appeared on his lips, if I remember correctly, about seven years ago.

At that time, his company had just finished its Series A funding. One night when he came home, he was very excited and told me that he had recruited an exceptionally talented person.

A graduate from a prestigious university overseas, professionally skilled, capable, with her own insights-and most importantly, his tone was uncontrollably enthusiastic-he said, “Erhuai, you have no idea, she understands my entrepreneurial vision. She told me I would definitely succeed. She already had offers from several Fortune Global 500 companies, but in the end, she still chose to come to my company.”

He truly looked happy then. He said, “She will definitely become my right-hand assistant.”

I just smiled and watched him quietly, without saying anything.

I think he must have forgotten that when he first started his business, when everyone called him a fraud, I was the one who stayed by his side and encouraged him.

I believed he would succeed, even when he occasionally doubted himself-I never once questioned him.

I never imagined that from then on, the name Gu Xiaoyan would linger in both Nie Feng’s and my life for such a long time, becoming a nightmare I didn’t even dare to dream about.
