Gu Zi found herself reflecting on certain matters. She shared her thoughts with Su Shen, "I must say, your old comrade doesn't seem to be quite the gentleman. His younger brother is far more open and honest. You mentioned your intention to take over this project, and he sold it to you without a second thought. He probably thinks he's made a great deal, but he doesn't realize that his lack of integrity might cost him future opportunities for appreciation."
Su Shen, toying with her long hair, was clearly not focused on business matters, but he responded nonetheless, "A comrade is a comrade, business is business. It's hard for a businessman to go far if he's too concerned with being a gentleman. Gu Zi, don't worry about these things."
Gu Zi grumbled discontentedly, "All men are the same, thinking women shouldn't interfere with their work. But they never consider that your success or failure directly affects the standard of living for us at home. Now you're finding me annoying."
