Chapter 818 — You Have the Right to Complain
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Among the employees of the Gu Group, very few actually knew Gu Mengyao in person, for she had little inclination to appear in public, and rarely flaunted her status as the eldest daughter across the group's subsidiary businesses.
Yet those who had heard the name "Gu Mengyao" were legion. Almost every worker who had been with the Gu Group for more than half a year had caught wind of it! It was one of those subjects that, in idle chatter among colleagues, invariably came up on its own.
Everyone knew that Gu Pengzhan had a beautiful daughter named Gu Mengyao, but precious few had ever laid eyes on her. And the more elusive she was, the more curious people became — which only seared the name all the deeper into their memories.
A parking lot guard occupied one of the lowest rungs within the Gu Group, but over tea and after meals he had swapped plenty of gossip about Gu Mengyao with his colleagues. So the instant he read the name on the membership card, he understood exactly who she was!
She was actually the eldest daughter of the whole group! No wonder every single person in her company held a diamond membership card! It was hardly surprising now, was it? What sort of people would accompany the eldest daughter? Surely none but the wealthy and the powerful — it went without saying they would carry Gu Group membership cards.
"Miss Gu, thank you for your cooperation. Please keep your membership card safe..." The guard returned the card to Gu Mengyao with barely contained excitement. Gu Mengyao, for her part, said nothing, clearly not wishing to reveal her identity. Even knowing the truth, the guard kept his mouth shut.
Gu Mengyao gave a slight nod and a faint smile, and tucked her membership card away.
The sight of Gu Mengyao's smile set the guard's heart racing. The eldest daughter was so approachable — she had actually smiled at him! From now on he would have a fine tale to boast about to his colleagues over after-hours tea. Still, he knew perfectly well that her smile carried no special warmth behind it. He was happy all the same, for in the minds of people like him, the eldest daughter was a figure set impossibly high above.
"Please, go right in, Miss Gu, esteemed diamond card member." The guard raised the barrier and gestured invitingly, allowing Wei Zhao to drive into the parking lot...
"Impossible! How could they possibly have membership cards? They must be fake!" For a moment, Gou Huli simply could not accept the fact. In her mind, how could these nobodies possess membership cards for Pengzhan Department Store? And to produce three of them at once — it defied all logic! She turned on the guard and shouted, "Hey, are you sure you read it right? Or maybe you're playing favorites — that little tramp smiled at you, with her pretty little face, and you just waved them through, didn't you? I'm going to file a complaint against you!"
The guard's brow furrowed. You're calling the eldest daughter a tramp? You have a death wish! But the guard was well trained. No matter how profoundly he disliked the woman before him, he kept his smile and explained: "Ma'am, you certainly have the right to file a complaint. However, the parking lot is under surveillance at all times, and I would never do anything so improper as to play favorites."
"Hmph!" Gou Huli glanced up at the security camera above the lot, let out a cold snort of displeasure, climbed back into her car, and drove off to hunt for a parking space.
Events having come to this, however reluctant she was to believe it, she had no choice but to accept that the membership cards Wei Zhao and the others had produced were the real thing. It seemed utterly incredible, yet the proof lay before her eyes, brooking no disbelief.
