Chapter 8, Lu Yao, you make me feel happy

"You have provoked Lu Yao more than once, haven't you?" Lin Feng wore a face that said "I am a good person," "You clearly know how Si Ming feels about Lu Yao, yet you still dare to act this way? Tsk tsk, I truly admire your courage..."

"Is the phone not going through?" Lin Feng took out his mobile phone and directly dialed Lu Yao's number. Two seconds later, Lu Yao's voice came through on the other end of the line

"I am busy, please leave." Gu Siming refused very decisively

What is your reason for rejection? Gu Siming slightly straightened his body, his pair of cold, emotionless eyes fell upon Mu Rong'er, causing her to feel a sense of trepidation. "I have no reason to refuse you; as long as it is a meal with you, I am too busy."

For a moment, the office became extremely quiet. Lu Yao anxiously looked at Gu Siming, who seemed to have no reaction, feeling restless.

At that time, her expression was so resolute, just as the words he is saying now: "Lu Yao, you make me feel happy, isn't that enough?"

He was still lamenting when he heard the person roar: "Go tell your president! I am Lu Yao's sister! If he still refuses to see me, I will leave!"

Oh, I see. Gu Siming remained unperturbed, "Hello, Lu Yao, thank you very much for your trouble."

Upon hearing this, Mu Rong'er’s smile immediately froze on her face

Lu Yao aspires to reach the level of Assistant Zhou, who is adept at navigating various situations with ease... It seems there are still some challenges ahead... However...

Lin Feng felt increasingly helpless: "Do you not know what the situation at Lu Yao's home is? Do you not think that her choice to reject you is simply because she feels inferior?"

The one encountered at the amusement park, " Gu Siming replied succinctly.

Resigning oneself to a lesser option, Mu Rong'er sat down opposite Gu Siming and said with a pleasant expression: "Do you have time now, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Siming was taken aback, and his smile deepened a bit: "Starting tomorrow, you can learn how to simply receive clients and communicate with them naturally. Remember, the language should not be too straightforward; you must understand how to read between the lines."

Furthermore, I have also taken note of your threats today. Gu Siming revealed a smile filled with danger, stating, "If the Mu Group encounters any trouble in the future, do not doubt that it is certainly related to me. At that time, please do not come looking for me, as I do not wish to see you at all"

Lin Feng and Gu Siming have known each other for a long time, and they are quite familiar with each other. Although Gu Siming has an astonishingly high IQ, when it comes to emotional intelligence... he is just too far behind Lin Feng!

However, He Zheng on the other end of the phone had not yet responded, when a deep voice sounded behind Lu Yao: "It was me who did it, you can hang up the phone now"

She looked up in some surprise, just in time to meet the resentful and disdainful gaze of Mu Rong'er, who was standing in front of Gu Siming's office.

Lu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Sweet..." After thinking for a while, she still stared wide-eyed and asked, "What does this have to do with you going to the amusement park?"

Gu Siming remained very calm, completely ignoring Xu Xiaoyan, and instead walked straight up to Lu Yao, gently asking: "Have you finished packing up?"

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he smiled and said, "It's alright, leave it to me."

In the air, there seems to be a sweet scent reminiscent of candy floating and spreading, filling every corner

The voice that clearly did not belong to Lu Yao slightly diverted Gu Siming's attention from the process report, but he merely cast a cold glance at Mu Rong'er before lowering his head to continue reviewing the materials in his hand

In fact, no matter how harsh the words Mu Rong'er said to herself that day were, they contained a certain truth. She did not heed Mu Rong'er's warnings and advice, and still chose to stay by Gu Siming's side, which left her feeling somewhat guilty... However...

Although she believes that every word Gu Siming said to her is the truth, Mu Rong'er’s doubts are not without reason

At this moment, to intrude would surely incur divine retribution upon him, wouldn't it? No, it would be the wrath of Gu Siming. A good deed should be carried through to the end; one should escort the Buddha all the way to the West. Since he has nothing better to do, he might as well investigate what exactly is going on with Chen Xiaorui.

Having finished speaking, Gu Siming picked up the microphone beside him and said, "Assistant Zhou, see the guests out"

After a long time, the coldness in Gu Siming's eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only a sense of dim helplessness: "But what can I do? She does not like me, and I will not force her."

With a smile, Lu Yaoping nodded peacefully at Mu Rong'er and said, "Miss Mu, hello"

Is she already a member of Group G? Or did Gu Siming personally intervene to recruit her?

"Alright." He seemed to relax completely, with a spirited gleam in his pitch-black eyes. "As a reward, I will grant you one wish."

"It's nothing, are you in Siming's office?" Lin Feng asked casually, while his eyes glanced at the pale-faced Chen Xiaorui

As Mu Rong'er stepped out of the office, her footsteps remained weak and unsteady. When she looked up, she unexpectedly collided with Lin Feng, who was walking towards her, but she no longer had the slightest inclination for pleasantries.

Xu Xiaoyan ground his teeth, making a creaking sound: "Me? I am Lu Yao's ... ... " At this point, he couldn't help but pause for a moment before saying, "Good buddy!"

Lin Feng was certain that this girl named Chen Xiaorui must have some ulterior motive

"Why are you still here?" Gu Siming's voice was like the winter ice, gradually freezing Mu Rong'er’s last bargaining chip. "Oh, you mean cooperation? The G Group does not care about this cooperation; you may leave now.

Lin Feng strode with an exceptionally flamboyant gait, the car key in his hand nearly making a full circle. He whistled at Assistant Zhou: "Xiao Zhou! Is Si Ming here?"

Finally, the day of discharge arrived. As Lu Yao packed her belongings, she felt in high spirits, even stopping halfway to gaze at the scenery outside the window

Before her, Lin Feng's handsome face still appeared amiable, yet she inexplicably felt a chill. It was as if he were a calm yet fierce leopard, having firmly locked onto her weaknesses, merely waiting for the opportune moment to pounce and tear at her throat

Lin Feng was taken aback, helplessly pouted, gentlemanly withdrew his hand, and stood to the side

But why does she have to do this? Gu Siming rarely showed a look of confusion.

In the bustling park, amidst the cacophony of voices and the deafening music, she stood beside him with a sunlit smile, speaking word by word:

A glimmer of hope in a desperate situation ... ? ... Isn't this the moment ! ? She always knew that this day would come !

Lu Yao instantly became invigorated: "Alright! I will definitely not let you down! At the very least, I will strive to be on par with Assistant Zhou!"

If it were not for his planning and strategy this time, suggesting that he bring Lu Yao over from the brokerage company, taking advantage of the proximity to gain the first opportunity, would he have such a good chance?

At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan was rendered speechless, unable to utter a single word, and could only watch helplessly as Lu Yao, with a face full of guilt, walked out of the hospital room side by side with that detestable man

Mu Rong'er seemed to have anticipated his indifferent attitude, so she boldly approached him, wanting to sit close by his side. However, this was merely a thought, as the aura of resistance and indifference emanating from Gu Siming was too evident.

The security guard's will was as hard as iron, unmoved by the situation. Just as he was about to refuse again, Lin Feng approached from behind.

Opposite him, Chen Xiaorui trembled all over, feeling utterly humiliated in that moment

Ah! Xu Xiaoyan! He is not my boyfriend, he is my good friend! President, have you ever tasted the dishes made by Xiaoyan? They are truly unparalleled! Especially the curry chicken... At this point, Lu Yao seemed to suddenly remember something and asked loudly, "By the way, President, what were you doing at the amusement park that day? You were wearing so many clothes, it was so strange..."

Lu Yao quickly reached out to wipe her tears, nodding with a choked voice: "Yes, it is tomorrow..."

Mu Rong'er nearly bit her lower lip until it bled, yet she could only watch helplessly as Lu Yaoming boldly sat down beside Gu Siming, and Gu Siming actually... took her hand in turn

Mu Rong'er was startled, her face turning pale. She staggered back a few steps, her lips trembling violently as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately, nothing came out. To maintain her last semblance of dignity, she left Gu Siming's office in a daze before Assistant Zhou arrived

Since Lu Yao was hospitalized... Assistant Zhou lowered his voice cautiously

Lin Feng let out a disdainful snort, unwilling to explain further to her. He simply left behind a remark: "It seems you truly deserve this." and strode away, leaving Mu Rong'er standing alone in place, her face filled with unease and resentment

Lu Yao hurriedly nodded: "Then I will go and make the changes first, you chat with Miss Mu." As she spoke, she stood up as if to escape from his side, but he pulled her back to her original position with a firm grip.

Xu Xiaoyan's mind was racing, still contemplating how to retaliate, when she heard Gu Siming casually ask Lu Yao: "What do you want to eat? Curry chicken cutlet? Double-layer cheese blueberry cake? Mango milkshake? Durian pizza?"

It has been a few days since we last met, how has this girl become smarter than before?

"Usury... not a single day can be delayed." Lu Yao anxiously bit on a lollipop. After a period of rest and recuperation, her complexion had returned to its usual rosy hue. "Xiaorui, do we have a clear understanding of the other party's background?"

The air in the office suddenly became thick and scorching, as if even breathing carried a searing and fervent essence

Lu Yao had no mood to pay attention to these matters; just the gaze of Mu Rong'er was enough to make her feel uncomfortable. Mu Rong'er's current gaze was like two knives, seemingly intent on piercing her until she was utterly devastated.

Isn't this the president of Group G? We, Lu Yao, are just a small employee. Do I really need you to come and pick me up after being discharged from the hospital? Xu Xiaoyan spoke in a sarcastic tone, making Lu Yao feel a chill run down her spine

From birth until now, she has always lived in luxury and privilege, commanding respect and power. When has she ever experienced such humiliation? How could this blind Gu Siming ignore her existence? Instead, he develops feelings for Lu Yao, a mere assistant who only possesses a pretty face but is lacking in every other aspect? ... Such an outcome ...! ... She absolutely cannot tolerate it!

As long as she can stay by his side, he is willing to wait no matter how long it takes her to learn. It seems that this time, he truly owes that guy Lin Feng a big favor!

Do you think I can't see that you like Lu Yao, which is why you have repeatedly tried to obstruct her from associating with Gu Siming?

Lu Yao stared at Gu Siming with tear-filled eyes, as tears like pearls fell one after another, and the smile on her face could not be concealed: "I understand! I will definitely work hard!"

The security personnel and staff of Group G are all selected through a rigorous process and have undergone relevant training before taking up their positions, so there is no need to worry even if a serious situation arises. However, Lin Feng is somewhat curious: how could a girl who appears quite decent think in such a way? It's simply like that of a shrew.

Gu Siming coughed twice and explained in a very perfunctory manner: "It was a coincidence"

Gu Siming's recent unusual emotions are all related to Lu Yao, could it be that... he has really developed feelings for Lu Yao

"Lu Yao." Gu Siming gently interrupted her, "The value of a person is not something she can judge herself, nor is it something that others can easily determine. What matters is the kind of impact this person can have on others."

My name is Chen Xiaorui, and I really have a very good relationship with Lu Yao! We even live together! One could say we are closer than sisters!" Chen Xiaorui explained anxiously, "Could you please help me find President Gu? I really have something to discuss..."

The apples were placed in the fruit bowl on the table, and Gu Siming wiped his hands clean, raising his head to ask: "I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, right?"

Only those who persevere have the opportunity to find a way out of desperate situations

As she inhaled the aroma of the coffee, Lu Yao felt increasingly invigorated, but at that moment, she suddenly sensed a chilling gaze fixed upon her.

Chen Xiaorui bit her teeth in anger, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and resentment, and she turned away without saying another word

Is it really for this reason? Gu Siming felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart. He understood Lu Yao; if she truly rejected him for this reason, then no matter what he did, he would never be able to change her mind!

It seemed as if a savior had appeared, and Assistant Zhou nodded repeatedly at him with tears in his eyes, saying: "President Lin! You have finally arrived!"

Originally, she was a barely noticeable presence in the company, only able to find some sporadic part-time jobs to barely make ends meet. If even Boss He chose to give up on her, what was she to do?

The woman was blocked by the security guard, making it difficult for Lin Feng to see her appearance. However, just by listening to her tone and manner of speaking, he could roughly conclude that she was probably a crazy troublemaker

Gu Siming is definitely infatuated with Lu Yao

Although Gu Siming appeared calm and unruffled, his grip was quite strong, causing Lu Yao's fingers to ache. Just as Lu Yao was about to speak up to remind him, he preempted her: "I have already marked the areas that need to be revised; you must be careful not to make such mistakes next time, do you understand?" The words sounded like a reprimand, yet the tone was exceedingly gentle

Mu Rong'er coldly maintained a stern expression: "What is so good about me? Why are you still here? Haven't I made myself clear to you? Or..." She deliberately emphasized her tone, "Is the price I offered not enough?"

Gu Siming: "... ..."

It turns out he did not dislike her, and it turns out I could still look at him like this

Since they have already said so, he certainly cannot become the culprit hindering the commercial exchange between the two companies

Saying this, he fearlessly pushed the door open, and in his heart, he even harbored a hint of anticipation

Although Gu Siming had explicitly prohibited it a long time ago, stating that employees were not allowed to spread rumors within the company, seeing Lu Yao still completely unaware, and... ? ... what they are saying doesn't really seem to be rumors, does it? Isn't the current situation indicating that everyone has further acknowledged the relationship between him and Lu Yao?

Having lost her mother at a young age, she relied solely on her father, who spent his days drinking and gambling

Gu Siming's lips curved slightly, and this heartfelt smile made his stern face appear much softer. He then sat down beside Lu Yao and personally peeled an apple for her. Although his movements were somewhat clumsy, they were very earnest and gentle

This sentence had surged to Lu Yao's lips countless times, but every time she looked at Assistant Zhou's gentle yet distant smile, she swallowed it back down. Perhaps, by the time her injuries had fully healed, she would no longer be a member of Group G

For some reason, Xu Xiaoyan seems to have a significant issue with Gu Siming, as even the way she looks at him carries a sense of ...? ... annoyance?

Adhering to the unwavering belief of bringing up topics that are best left untouched, Lin Feng recklessly sat down beside Gu Siming and bluntly asked: "Why haven't you gone to see Lu Yao? Don't you know that she has been getting quite close to that childhood friend of hers these days?" He deliberately adopted an extremely ambiguous tone, "I heard she even fed him by hand! Tsk tsk ..."

Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Siming unexpectedly ran into each other

In the office, Gu Siming is sitting on the sofa, dressed in a deep gray suit and wearing a dark blue striped tie, his overall demeanor appearing increasingly aloof.

Lu Yao, this fellow, to put it bluntly, can sometimes be quite naive, but perhaps due to the overwhelming darkness in reality, her innocence tends to unconsciously affect others. And someone like Gu Siming, this 'cold-hearted' CEO, might actually be quite suitable for her. At the very least, with Gu Siming around, he doesn't have to worry about that fool Lu Yao being deceived by others. And he can finally feel at ease.

With a loud thud, the phone fell onto the hospital bed and rolled a few times. On the other end, He Zheng also heard Gu Siming's voice and was so frightened that he dared not say anything, voluntarily hanging up the phone. For a moment, the room was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard

Lu Yao chewed the apple with great interest: "Who? Where did I get a supposed boyfriend?"

In place, although Lin Feng's smile was elegant and polite, it gave a subtle sense of chill. He assessed the young lady before him—approximately the same age as Lu Yao, with a model-like figure, wearing a pair of high heels that were at least 8 cm tall. Her clothing, accessories, and backpack were all this year's luxury fashion trends. She had a fair, palm-sized face, adorned with fashionable yet somewhat heavy makeup.

She cast a nervous glance at the soon-to-erupt Mu Rong'er, straining to pull her hand free from Gu Siming's grip, but unfortunately... she could not break free

Lin Feng silently watched Gu Siming, who was lost in thought, observing his dejected yet resolute expression. Finally, he retracted his carefree smile and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, saying, "Brother, your emotional intelligence is truly alarmingly low." Before Gu Siming could respond, Lin Feng continued, "Tell me, if Lu Yao didn't like you, would she risk her own safety to save you?"

I do not wish to see her, that is all. Gu Siming's lips curved slightly; when facing Lu Yao, he could instantly transform into another persona.

This is a rare good weather, the sun is not as scorching as usual, but rather carries a gentle and just right warmth. A gentle breeze sweeps by, bringing waves of coolness, and faintly, she can smell the fragrance of flowers and grass. However, the only thing that makes one feel uncomfortable is—

She secretly clenched her fists, turned around and glared at Lu Yao, and when she turned back, she once again put on a bright smile: "President Gu, it is I."

Indeed, a cold glint flashed in Gu Siming's eyes as he turned his head and stared directly at Lin Feng: "Are you seeking death?"

"It is indeed your almost-boyfriend who has been coming to take care of you frequently these days." Gu Siming's indifferent words clearly carried a hint of bitterness

Well, in some respects, this is also a good outcome

Once again, her proposal was rejected, and Chen Xiaorui's expression grew increasingly unpleasant

Lu Yao was somewhat bewildered by the situation before her and instinctively nodded. At that moment, Gu Siming seemed to have just noticed the presence of Xu Xiaoyan in the ward, turned around, and gave her a few glances before asking, "Who are you?"

Mu Rong'er looked at Lin Feng with trembling confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gu Siming, upon hearing this, raised his head thoughtfully and looked at him, suddenly breaking into a smile

The wounds on her body had healed. Lu Yao shook her head, casting aside all negative emotions, and then stretched her body widely.

Gu Siming has not appeared for three consecutive days, while Assistant Zhou arrives punctually at Lu Yao's hospital room every day, bringing her specially prepared "nutritional products." Although those items are still far from enough to satisfy Lu Yao's hunger, she is already very grateful to see Assistant Zhou so busy every day

She quietly closed the office door and happened to see Lin Feng walking over from a distance with a proud expression on his face

So light, yet so close

No...! ... It definitely won't be...! Although Group G's reputation and capabilities are above those of the Mu Group, the Mu Group will certainly not be so fragile. Even my father has said that this is a very important collaboration...

Lu Yao firmly pressed her lips together

Oh... I am currently preparing coffee for the president and am not by his side. Are you looking for him?" The sound of cups clinking could be heard from over there

What impact? She was puzzled and confused

Hello, boss, this is Lu Yao. I lost my job again. " After dialing the phone number of the agency's boss, He Zheng, Lu Yao felt somewhat lacking in confidence.

Time flies, and in just one more day, Lu Yao will be discharged from the hospital. Since that day, Gu Siming has indeed not appeared again. Apart from Xu Xiaoyan and Chen Xiaorui, the only person left to visit Lu Yao is Assistant Zhou

Seeing Mu Rong'er leave in anger, Lin Feng quickly took out his phone and sent a text message to Gu Siming: "Mu Rong'er has arrived, be careful"

It seems she is going to look for a new job! ... However, the first thing she needs to do at the moment ...

Tears are scalding, and when they fall onto the back of the hand, they become even more burning. At this moment, Lu Yao's mind was blank, and it took her a long time to barely utter a sentence: "But I am not worthy of you, you are so outstanding, I... I am just..."

The relationship between Lin Feng and Gu Siming is well-known within Group G, and the security guard naturally did not hesitate; after handing the person over to Lin Feng, he returned to his post.

"I will not force you to accept me right now; you only need to do what you enjoy." Gu Siming smiled slightly, "As for your father's debt, you need not worry. I will temporarily help you pay off all the debts, but—" He leaned slightly forward, coming a bit closer to her, "This is only temporary. The repayments will be deducted little by little from your monthly salary, so the harder you work, the higher your rewards will be, and the sooner the debts will be cleared."

Lin Feng approached with a smile, seeing through Mu Rong'er’s thoughts at a glance: "Miss Mu, how is it that you do not understand what can be done and what cannot be done?"

"It's nothing, I'll go by myself." Lin Feng casually responded a few words before hanging up the phone

Lu Yao seemed to be under a spell, gazing at Gu Siming's sharply defined face, her heart instinctively feeling as if it had been drenched in a bowl of sour lemon juice, and the tears she had been holding back for a long time finally fell.

Lu Yao's situation ... ... Gu Siming thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "That's it, I investigated her before."

Gu Siming watched as Lu Yao shed tears of joy, and did not continue to offer comfort; instead, he picked up the fruit knife from the table and sliced the apple into piece after piece

This is indeed a rare occurrence

He Zheng remained quiet for a long time before asking in confusion, "Why do you still call me boss?"

Humiliated to this extent, Mu Rong'er could no longer contain herself. She suddenly stood up from the sofa, glaring fiercely at Lu Yao, and sneered a few times: "What are you doing here pretending to be a good person? It's truly disgusting to watch! Hey... Gu Siming." She simply abandoned her gentle and elegant facade, and condescendingly said, "Have you thought it over? Are you really not going to have dinner with me? Don't forget, there is a very important collaboration between the G Group and our Mu Group. If you don't go..."

While Lu Yao and others were left bewildered by Chen Xiaorui's usury incident, Gu Siming, who had not seen her for a few days, sat in the office with a gloomy expression, irritably flipping through the materials sent by his assistant

In the silent office, Gu Siming furrowed his brows slightly, dark clouds gathering in his black eyes. Upon seeing Lin Feng arrive, he merely lifted his chin, offering no further reaction. Observing this, Lin Feng became even more certain of his suspicions.

The news of Lu Yao's return was like an unstoppable hurricane, sweeping through the entire G Group. Except for Assistant Zhou, who pretended to be oblivious on the surface but had already seen through everything in his heart, almost everyone was discussing how this little assistant, who had just arrived not long ago, had used some unknown special means to gradually win the long-frozen heart of the president

With a graceful smile on his face, Lin Feng spoke: "Leave this guest to me."

Gu Siming made it clear that he was indifferent to Mu Rong'er, yet he continued to hold Lu Yao's hand tightly, this time being observed by Mu Rong'er: "What do you want from me?"

He Zheng felt somewhat baffled, yet patiently explained: "A few days ago, the president of Group G, Gu Siming, personally called me and said that you are already part of their group. As for your contract with the company, he has also helped you resolve it." At this point, He Zheng smiled somewhat lewdly, "Lu Yao, why is Gu Siming being so nice to you?"

Upon mentioning Lu Yao, Mu Rong'er seemed to ignite like a firecracker, her expression twisting in response: "She is not worthy! A mere assistant!"

It is akin to a clichéd idol drama, where the prince falls in love with the beautiful Cinderella. However, he is not a prince, but rather the grown-up ugly duckling, and Lu Yao is not Cinderella, but a foolish girl.

Gu Siming, unwilling to dampen her enthusiasm, merely nodded lightly and let his thoughts drift towards the window.

She feels that her current life is fulfilling and joyful, and she is also making efforts to qualify to stand beside Gu Siming, so... she will no longer retreat

Both Lu Yao and Mu Rong'er displayed expressions of disbelief on their faces

Moreover, the most pressing issue that needs to be addressed is the high-interest loan burdening Chen Xiaorui

After leaving, Lin Feng leisurely made his way to Gu Siming's office. After greeting Assistant Zhou, he was about to push open the office door. However, just as his hand rested on the doorknob, he suddenly came to a halt.

Of course, Gu Siming is not the only one who enjoys this ambiguous atmosphere; Lin Feng, who has been silently directing and contributing to the plan from beginning to end, is also very satisfied with his arrangements this time

It seems that Gu Siming still has not forgotten Lu Yao these days, which indicates that ...! ... she still has a chance!

Lin Feng smiled indifferently, indicating that it was nothing, retracted his hand, and turned to leave

Has Gu Siming thought of her these days

"Mr. Lin, what is the matter?" Assistant Zhou asked in a low voice

Uncertain of how long she had been standing still, Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have come to a realization, revealing a slightly bitter smile, yet at the same time, a sense of comfort arose within her heart

"Then tomorrow night, or you can decide the time." Mu Rong'er let out a sigh, "Do not use 'no time' as your reason to refuse me."

Xu Xiaoyan interrupted her with a loud sigh: "You are truly too confused! Forget it! Just send me the limited information they have. I also have some savings here; let me talk to them and see if I can delay things a bit."

"Lin Feng, what happened?"

Assistant Zhou left at almost a fleeing speed after throwing down the documents, as the president's emotions have been very unstable recently, and she certainly does not want to step into a minefield

This lively and innocent girl is like a sudden yet sweet dream. At first, he truly only wanted to obtain her "slimming secrets." However, through increasing interactions, he gradually discovered the shining qualities within this girl. Those are precisely what he lacks and longs for

Xiaorui, I advise you to abandon such thoughts. In response to Chen Xiaorui's opinion, Xu Xiaoyan firmly rejected it, saying, "Let’s not even discuss whether Xiaoyao and that Gu Siming are truly compatible. Even if they were together, asking him to help you repay those usurious loans is unreasonable both emotionally and logically.

Lu Yao thought that from now on, she and Gu Siming might truly no longer have any relationship.

When calling the name Lu Yao, his voice distinctly carried a rare tenderness and indulgence

Although she is adorned with expensive luxury items, they create a sense of incongruity when worn by her

Chen Xiaorui shook her head sadly: "At that time, I didn't think too much, I just felt that they were very straightforward in lending money, so..."

Gu Siming's slender fingers, clutching the documents, suddenly stiffened, as if he were nailed in place, unable to move. Lin Feng, however, remained patient, gazing at him with a teasing smile.

I have also experienced the darkest moments, but I believe that there will always be light waiting for me ahead, and that kind of light is even more worth looking forward to

In recent days, with the assistance of Assistant Zhou and Gu Siming, she has learned many things that she could not acquire in university or at her previous agency. For instance, she is now able to independently create a schedule for company events without relying on others.

A moment of silence

Mu Rong'er was infuriated by the intimate actions of the two, her vision swirling with stars, yet she struggled to contain her anger in front of Gu Siming and had to suppress it. However, her tone was no longer as eager as it had been just moments ago: "Gu Siming, let's have dinner together tonight"

Gu Siming was taken aback, then held his breath: "She said this is her job responsibility..."

"Aunt, you are now Gu Siming's person, how could I dare to joke with you?"

At this moment, the sound of two people conversing once again echoed in the ward, but their tone was noticeably much more cheerful than before

In the spacious and bright hospital room, Lu Yao, Xu Xiaoyan, and Chen Xiaorui sat in a circle with serious expressions, while the table in the center was piled high with various delicacies to replenish the energy they had lost due to excessive thinking

"When you hand a bowl of rice to a thirsty person lost in the desert, is it salvation or torment?" Gu Siming's eyes were deep and cold, "Perhaps to others, it is exceedingly ordinary, even worthless. Yet to me, it is incredibly precious"

Thinking this way, for some reason, Lin Feng felt a sense of glee. He was somewhat eager to try and did not want to miss this splendid drama, so he contemplated whether to ask Assistant Zhou to pull up the surveillance footage from Gu Siming's office to take a look, but then he heard a noisy commotion behind him. Such a clamor was completely at odds with the serious and tense atmosphere of Group G.

Upon hearing these words, it felt as if a high-voltage current of 100,000 volts coursed through Lu Yao's body, rendering her thoughts sluggish.

"Miss, you just said... you are Lu Yao's sister?" Lin Feng asked gently, "What is your name?"

Indeed, Chen Xiaorui's expression suddenly became very unpleasant. After stammering for a while, she finally said in a hesitant manner: "I... actually, I couldn't get through to Lu Yao's phone, so I came to her workplace..."

"You are a friend of Lu Yao, but why are you looking for President Gu?" Lin Feng pointed out.

No. Gu Siming was succinct in his speech, seemingly finding it troublesome to say even one more word. He flipped a page of the materials, made a note on it, and suddenly said, "Lu Yao, come here."

Lu Yao could hardly believe it: "Did Gu Siming really call you personally to say that?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows and looked over, but could only vaguely see a slender figure jumping around in a fit of agitation

"There is no remedy!" Lin Feng glared at him, "No one, no matter how foolish, would risk their life for a job like this; it is merely a justification she has concocted for herself!"

After making up her mind, Lu Yao began to count on her fingers to recall what skills she had learned during her university years. Dancing or yoga? Is it possible to shed tears in ten seconds?

Lin Feng pretended to be terrified as he clutched his chest: "Are you really angry?" After saying this, he cast a playful glance at him and added, "I think you are the one seeking death—torturing yourself to the point of exhaustion.

In addition, she should also set a goal for herself to strive for, right? As the saying goes, a life without ideals is no different from that of a salted fish

He lowered his head and carefully annotated the activity flow report just completed by Lu Yao, his brows occasionally relaxing and then slightly furrowing. Even when he heard the sound of the door opening, he did not look up, merely saying淡淡: "Just put the coffee aside."

But that is just too coincidental. Lu Yao persisted, "And it just so happened to run into me and Xiao Yan, what could it possibly be for..."

The burly security guard said expressionlessly: "Please present your identification and the documents regarding your appointment with the president. I will assist you in contacting the president's assistant"

Lu Yao was taken aback: "I... what else could I call you if not boss? Could it be... could it be that you are also firing me?"

It seems that ... ? ... is completely different from Lu Yao, right ?

As Gu Siming fell into deep thought once again, Lin Feng's lips curled into a satisfied arc as he softly said: "President Gu, if you wish to resolve your current predicament, I have a solution. Would you like to hear it?"

Such cruel and direct words, not to mention Mu Rong'er, even Lu Yao felt a twinge of compassion. She softly advised, "It's just a matter of eating..."

"What could there possibly be to do with him! He is such a boring person. How about I take you out for a stroll?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, "It is my honor to spend time with a beautiful woman."

Chen Xiaorui sat there dejectedly, remaining silent for a long time. She reluctantly agreed with her words, but her eyes were fixed on the lunchbox on the table, which bore the logo of Group G

"President, what do you think I should learn?" Lu Yao took this question very seriously, "Anyone can do things like making coffee or organizing materials. Can you tell me what other essential knowledge or skills I must master as your assistant?"

Lu Yao did not mind such blatant sarcasm; she politely opened the office door and asked, "Is Miss Mu here to see the president today"

That was the voice of a young woman, repeatedly questioning: "Why won't you let me in? I want to see your president! President Gu! Gu Siming! Don't you all know Gu Siming?"

Lu Yao clearly did not expect Gu Siming to take such action. Her cheeks immediately turned bright red

At the same time, there was a question that had been buried in her heart. She wanted to ask, but lacked the courage to voice it.

She is a ray of sunshine that illuminates the dark corners of his life, warm and beautiful, making him nostalgic and reluctant to part with her. Therefore, if she truly finds someone more suitable, he will absolutely not interfere

Compared to her, Gu Siming seemed to be completely oblivious to Mu Rong'er’s threat, as he continued to focus intently on the report on the computer, not releasing his grip on Lu Yao's hand

While deep in thought, Lin Feng suddenly heard the hurried sound of high heels striking the ground behind him. He casually turned around and saw Mu Rong'er, dressed in a beige long dress, storming towards Gu Siming's office with a face full of anger

Upon hearing this, Mu Rong'er’s smile suddenly turned cold and distant: "I am looking for him to discuss matters regarding the company's collaboration, so I must decline President Lin's kind offer."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao let out a chuckle and immediately burst into laughter

Having spoken, she arrogantly lifted her head, seemingly unwilling to engage in any further communication with Lu Yao, and walked straight into the office

Paying off? Let's not even mention how much Lu Yao earns each month, or how much the president has helped her pay off. Just her astonishing daily food consumption must be equivalent to a month's salary, right? Alas! It seems that Lu Yao will never be able to pay it off in this lifetime! ... President ...! ... Truly worthy of being the president!

With her head bowed in silence, Lu Yao's smile was both helpless and bitter

A long time passed like this, and Mu Rong'er’s patience finally reached its limit. She exclaimed loudly: "Gu Siming, do you or do you not..."

A few people discussed for a while and concluded that this was the best solution at present

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Feng's steps into Group G became increasingly bold, and he couldn't help but ponder what kind of conditions he should propose to Gu Siming so that he would not be at a disadvantage... Money? He certainly did not lack it! Women...? He had little faith in Gu Siming's judgment...

Brother, I can only assist you up to this point

Lin Feng felt a tremor in his heart, and with a harmless smile, he reached out to stop her: "Isn't this the beautiful Mu? What brings you here today?"

Gu Siming, who was quietly sitting nearby, was drawn in by Lu Yao's troubled expression and couldn't help but curve the corners of his lips: "What are you thinking about?"

Do you have anything else to attend to now? Lin Feng's smile gradually faded away.

Suddenly blocked in her path, Mu Rong'er nearly erupted with anger, but when she saw that the person blocking her was Lin Feng, she could only force a smile and say: "I have some matters to discuss with President Gu."

Faced with her indifference, Mu Rong'er was somewhat surprised, but she quickly regained her composure, and at the same time, the look of disdain in her eyes intensified: "It seems you have learned quite a bit in just these few days."

If she has no outstanding qualities, what right does she have to stand beside Gu Siming? Do not tell her the story of the prince and Cinderella; the interactions between people are not fairy tales. Moreover, the reason Cinderella was able to meet the prince was precisely because of the fairy's assistance

I... I forgot to bring it, is that not acceptable! That voice was relentless.

On the other hand, the carefree Lu Yao was naturally oblivious to Xu Xiaoyan's feelings, and at this moment, she was racking her brain to think of an important matter—how to improve her own work capabilities

His smile suddenly became somewhat sly

"What’s wrong? Is he still in a bad mood?" Lin Feng was somewhat surprised

She always easily believes others, yet she consistently upholds her own principles. Her life is clearly filled with hardships and difficulties, but she always displays a sunny and pure smile

This is a time of crisis, and Xu Xiaoyan's savings are absolutely insufficient. If she could secretly approach Gu Siming under the pretext of Lu Yao, embellishing the situation and making the crisis sound more severe... she does not believe that Gu Siming would stand idly by

After putting down the phone, Lu Yao happily walked towards Gu Siming's office with a coffee pot filled to the brim

Hmm," Gu Siming smiled, "Do you still want to return to work at Group G?" Before Lu Yao could respond, he mischievously continued, "Even if you don't want to, you are already an employee of Group G.

"Is the apple sweet?" Gu Siming once again awkwardly shifted the topic.

Until now, Mu Rong'er is still unclear whether her feelings for Gu Siming are affection or resentment, but...! ... she believes that anyone who makes her, Mu Rong'er, feel embarrassed must pay the price! With this extremely important collaboration at stake, she does not believe that Gu Siming will not compromise

He actually did not refuse himself

Boss, are you not joking? Lu Yao's voice was trembling.

Why? Lu Yao desperately suppressed the overwhelming emotions surging within her, her eyes reddening again and again, "I am clearly a person of no use at all, I even make mistakes in the simplest tasks, my mind is simple, I am both foolish and stupid, and I have a big appetite..."

This ...? ... Is this not the food list that Lu Yao, whom Xu Xiaoyan takes pride in, likes the most?! Where did this guy find it?! However, recalling Gu Siming's personality, Xu Xiaoyan probably already knows the answer: as long as he wants to, what is there that he cannot find?

Assistant Zhou, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, wiped away tears with emotion while marveling at Lu Yao's good fortune

After the two exchanged glances, Lu Yao was taken aback, and a sense of guilt gradually enveloped her.
