Although Lu Yao and Gu Siming had only been in contact for less than a night, Lu Yao had a very ominous premonition: this President Gu, in addition to being cunning, must have more potentially dangerous attributes.
Although Lu Yao was always very courageous, she also cherished her life very much, so she had no interest in and would never risk her life to continue to explore Gu Siming's other attributes. The only thing she had to do her best at the moment was to make sure that tonight's work went well.
The assistant's earnest advice vaguely emerged in my mind: The president is allergic to alcohol!
She took a deep breath and stared intently at Gu Siming's every move. She first found a glass of "fake wine" filled with a drink, pretended to follow Gu Siming as if nothing had happened, and then handed the glass to him while he was talking to other customers.
What was rare was that Lu Yao, who was usually a bit careless, was able to change the wine in one go with a dignified and elegant smile on her face, leaving no clues. Only her slightly trembling hands betrayed her nervousness.
Seeing Gu Siming's wine glass brought to his lips, he first smiled at his friend and then drank it all in one gulp. Lu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief and planned to prepare a second glass of "fake wine"... Suddenly, she found that Gu Siming's sharp brows frowned, and then his cold eyes scraped towards her like a knife.
Buzz! Lu Yao heard a buzzing sound in his head. Perhaps the string was stretched too tight, and it finally broke at this moment.
She straightened her back, feeling uneasy, but she also knew it was not appropriate to go up and ask at this time. She could only wait anxiously, sweating profusely, for Gu Siming to politely say goodbye to the friend he was talking to.
Although the farewell only lasted a few seconds, Lu Yao could also notice that Gu Siming's face was getting paler and paler.
Finally, when his friend left, Lu Yao trembled as he stepped forward and asked cautiously, "President Gu, is there any problem?"
Gu Siming pulled out a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly. He glanced at her indifferently, and his voice became a little hoarse for some reason: "What did you give me?"
"Drink, drink!" Lu Yao started to stutter.
"Oh? A drink?" He sneered and pressed the cup into her hand. "Look for yourself, what this is."
After he finished speaking, his slender figure became a little shaky, and he held his forehead and walked away without knowing which direction he was heading. Lu Yao was worried, so he followed him carefully and sniffed the cup quietly.
This pungent smell of alcohol...
Lu Yao felt as if he was nailed to the ice and snow, and he couldn't help but shiver again.
She actually handed a real glass of wine to this alcohol-allergic CEO? It seems that not making any mistakes is really not her style!
"Um... President... are you okay?" Lu Yao followed Gu Siming in distress, and at the same time, she couldn't help but look him up and down with worry, "Alcohol allergy is a serious matter, right?"
Gu Siming pretended not to hear and walked away quickly.
"Boss!" Lu Yao's voice became anxious, "If anything happens to you, I will..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Yao suddenly felt a warm and large hand covering her left shoulder. The hand was as hot as a flame, wrapping her whole body in it.
Lu Yao raised his head in a daze and almost bumped into the face of the owner of the palm.
The owner of this palm is none other than Gu Siming.
At this moment, his handsome facial features seemed to be stained with a touch of bright red morning glow, adding a hint of softness, but his eyes were still cold, reflecting Lu Yao's helpless face.
"Are you okay..." Lu Yao's face was almost completely red, and his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, vague and unclear.
A trace of doubt and struggle flashed across Gu Siming's eyes, and then he exhaled softly into Lu Yao's ear: "Me? What can happen to me? Haha..."
His deep laughter, with the intoxicating smell of alcohol, fell upon my ears.
Lu Yao shuddered all over, but found that Gu Siming seemed to be too close to her.
She could almost see his thick eyelashes, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.
Could this be a sign of an alcohol allergy?
Lu Yao was puzzled.
While she was carrying Gu Siming, who was staggering as if he had lost his bones, she was thinking about whether to help him back to the room. Not far away, Lin Feng ran over like a gust of wind, secretly supported Gu Siming, and asked in surprise: "What is he doing? Being so close to you in public? Doesn't he care about his image?" Before Lu Yao could answer, his nose moved and he smelled the smell of alcohol, and his brows frowned again, "Is he drinking?"
Lu Yao knew that he had done something wrong, and nodded nervously: "I accidentally took the wrong one..."
Lin Feng sighed and looked around: "This is not a solution. Siming gets a little... crazy when he drinks. How much did he drink?"
Lu Yao pointed hesitantly at the long table not far away: "That kind of wine, one cup."
Lin Feng took a deep breath: "The CEO of Mu Group just said that he wanted to talk to Siming! How can he do that in his current state? I think you should take him back first..."
Before Lin Feng finished his hasty instructions, a sweet voice rang out from not far away: "Is this President Gu? I've heard of your name for a long time!"
Several people subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a girl in a dark purple halter dress walking towards them gracefully with an inquiring smile on her face.
Her charming eyes looked at Gu Siming, who was already a little tipsy, without any scruples, and introduced herself: "Hello, I'm Mu Rong'er."
Gu Siming's eyes rolled around blankly, but he didn't answer.
You know, anyone who can attend this party and talk to him face to face is not an "unknown person", and President Gu certainly won't be so disrespectful to others. Could it be because of the effect of alcohol?
Lu Yao became even more panicked.
Behind Mu Rong'er, a middle-aged man who looked vaguely similar to her slowly walked over, his eyes all focused on Gu Siming.
Lu Yao secretly guessed: Could this be the CEO of the Mu Group?
Sure enough, Lin Feng immediately put away his usual playful expression, extended his hand gracefully and said: "Hello, Mr. Mu, long time no see. I would like to say hello to you on behalf of my father!" At the same time, he did not forget to secretly wink at Lu Yao.
President Mu laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly: "It's been a long time since I saw you, kid!"
While the two were chatting happily, Lu Yao silently gathered her strength and gave Lin Feng a look that reassured him. She was about to help Gu Siming, who had his heavy arm on her shoulders, leave, but she saw Mu Rong'er holding her head high, taking two steps at a time to block in front of her, and asked arrogantly, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Lu Yao was startled by her queen-like aura and was speechless for a moment, but she didn't expect Gu Siming, who was "sticking" to her, to suddenly speak coldly and impatiently: "What are you doing blocking there?"
His expression was already stern, and his tone at this moment made people feel even colder.
Mu Rong'er subconsciously took a step back, but soon regained her bright smile: "I have just introduced myself, I am Mr. Mu's daughter. Mr. Gu..." The corners of her lips hooked up a hint of ambiguity, "How about we dance together?"
Khan Lu Yao, even the dumbest person can see Mu Ronger’s feelings, and she is probably like a shining light bulb now!
In fact, Mu Rong'er is also a beauty. Lu Yao thought that even if Gu Siming was reluctant, he would agree to it for the sake of President Mu's face.
But Gu Siming just glanced at her lazily and replied, "Not very good."
Hearing this, Mu Rong'er's pretty face instantly turned blue and purple, as if something was stuck in her throat.
The atmosphere was too awkward to resolve, and Lu Yao, who was usually stubborn, didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Lin Feng, like a savior, came down from the sky. He took Mu Rong'er's arm with a smile on his face and took the initiative to say, "Dancing? I like it the most! Shall we dance together?"
Mu Rong'er hadn't reacted yet, her eyes still lingering on Gu Siming, but fortunately she was coaxed and taken away by Lin Feng.
Seeing the two of them walking away, Lu Yao let out a long sigh, gritted his teeth, grabbed Gu Siming and ran towards the lounge!
If you don't run now, when will you run?
In the quiet VIP lounge, Lu Yao struggled to throw the still drunk Gu Siming onto the soft bed. After the incident, she felt as if there was a fire burning in her throat. She only recovered a little after drinking a large glass of ice water like a cow.
Although it was extremely impolite to throw the sponsor on the bed so rudely, it was very difficult for her to do this considering Gu Siming's stature was obviously a head and a half taller than her!
After thinking about it, Lu Yao looked at Gu Siming with some concern.
Although most of what happened today was her fault, now that things have come to this point, she seems to have no other choice but to wait for Gu Siming to wake up and apologize to him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao gritted her teeth, went back to the locker room and changed back into the relatively comfortable and convenient skirt she had worn before. She planned to display her selfless and great spirit of dedication tonight and act as an extra babysitter for Gu Siming.
"Is there any water?" Gu Siming's weak voice sounded.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao did not dare to neglect it at all. He quickly found a new cup, filled it with warm water, and hurried over, repeatedly comforting her: "Here it is, here it is..."
But just as she walked to Gu Siming's side, she saw him leaning on the bed, looking quite energetic. He suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, then reached out and grabbed her arm in the blink of an eye.
At first, Lu Yao was just stunned by his fatal smile, but she didn't expect that he still had so much strength even though he was drunk. She only had time to let out a low cry, and the warm water in her hand was naturally not spared, and spilled onto the carpet along with the poor cup.
Lu Yao ran headfirst into Gu Siming's arms. The scent of expensive perfume mixed with a hint of alcohol slowed her brain's reaction. She fluttered around a few times in a panic, and just as she raised her head and said "President Gu", she suddenly felt her eyes darken.
Gu Siming's handsome features were infinitely magnified, blocking out the luxurious light of the crystal chandelier. His pupils seemed to have lost focus, but the corners of his mouth still had a gentle smile, and he approached Lu Yao as if in slow motion.
This... is it possible that I am dreaming?
Lu Yao was so shocked that she dared not move. At the same time, she felt that it was really awkward for the two of them to maintain this position. She barely pulled out one hand to support herself on the bed, trying to find a chance to escape. But she was caught off guard and felt a soft warmth on her lips.
Although it was just a fleeting touch, she widened her eyes in horror. However, the instigator, Gu Siming, smiled contentedly and still stared at her from an extremely ambiguous distance.
Lu Yao saw golden and silver stars flying in front of her eyes. She swallowed and finally reacted.
My first kiss was gone just like that?
Although Gu Siming was drunk, but...
She gritted her teeth, and suddenly became furious. Without saying a word, she slapped Gu Siming hard with her backhand.
Harassment is harassment! No reason can be forgiven!
Lu Yao was naturally very strong, and she had grown up under the influence of Taekwondo, so the power of this slap must not be underestimated. She also clearly felt that her entire wrist was numb.
Gu Siming seemed to be stunned by the slap, and his dark eyes stared deeply at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao felt a little guilty, but still spoke up: "I, I was right to hit you! Don't forget what you just did!"
Gu Siming's head tilted, his lips trembled slightly, but he said nothing. Then he seemed to be pushed hard by a pair of invisible hands, and with a bang, he fell on the bed and didn't move.
Lu Yao looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "President Gu? What's wrong with you?"
Could it be that she used too much force and accidentally gave him a concussion? Or the consequences were even more serious. President Gu had already...
She held her breath, and felt cold sweat all over her body. She wanted to get closer but didn't dare to, for fear that something irreversible accident would really happen. After hesitating for several times, she finally made up her mind and reached out to feel Gu Siming's breath.
The warm and slightly moist breath sprayed on Lu Yao's cold fingertips.
The speed is steady and the chest rises and falls normally.
So he... just fell asleep?
Lu Yao touched her still hot lips and thought about it, and felt that she had to stay and take care of him.
The assistant had repeatedly told her that Gu Siming was allergic to alcohol, but she still handed him a glass of wine without knowing the consequences, and then slapped him without knowing the consequences...
Lu Yao sighed and sat back on the large sofa, his heart gradually calming down.
This job was highly valued by Boss He. If she messed up and didn't know how to deal with it, it would be totally un-Lu's style. So, no matter how bad it was, she had to stay and apologize properly after the other person woke up!
Thinking of this, Lu Yao stood up and picked up the cup on the ground - fortunately the carpet was thick and the cup did not break, and then he simply cleaned up the dirt on the carpet.
Isn't it just taking care of a drunk person? This is a piece of cake for her!
However, what Lu Yao never expected was that, for the whole night, Gu Siming fell asleep on the bed and woke up late at night to ask for water. Lu Yao had originally planned to be busy all night, but now she was left sitting on the sofa with boredom, looking at Gu Siming's slightly swollen but still handsome and noble face.
She supported her chin with both hands and sighed again: I never thought men could be so handsome.
Not long after, she felt sleepy, and since Gu Siming was still quite quiet, Lu Yao rubbed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep...
The next day, Gu Siming was awakened by a familiar yet extremely unpleasant voice.
This "gurgling, gurgling" sound, wave after wave, rhythmically and tirelessly rang in his ears, like a fly that could not be driven away.
He opened his eyes irritably and raised his hand to rub his aching temple.
This feeling of being drunk... He hadn't felt it for a long time. Also, what happened last night? Why did he feel his left face was sore and swollen? It was as if he had been hit hard...
After taking a quick look at the surroundings, Gu Siming confirmed that he was in the Nebula Club. He also remembered that there was a business party last night, and his assistant had a car accident, and then...
Gu Siming's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly remembered something. He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sofa.
Sure enough, an "unknown object" was lying there without caring about its image and sleeping soundly.
The "unknown object" was wearing the most ordinary skirt, with her long hair spread out in a mess, a few strands stuck to her fair face, her petal-like lips trembled slightly with her breathing, and she pursed them childishly from time to time.
Gu Siming watched coldly as his lost memories came back little by little.
Was it she who handed him the glass of liquor? How could he sleep here without a care after making such a big mistake?
He stood up without any hesitation, and put one hand on his forehead where veins were faintly protruding, intending to wake her up and scold her. Suddenly, the "gurgling" sound rang out again.
Gu Siming's feet froze, and then he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, but this time it made his red and swollen cheeks hurt.
Lu Yao was sleeping soundly, unaware of the danger she was about to face. She turned over carelessly and rubbed her belly with one hand. At the same time, another "gurgling" sound came from her belly.
So you're hungry?
For some reason, looking at Lu Yao's rather funny appearance, the anger in Gu Siming's heart diminished a little, and was replaced by a mischievous mentality.
He took a step forward, stepped on the soft carpet and moved closer to her again, and then pretended to cough a few times. As a result, in less than a second, Lu Yao opened her eyes and sat up.
She subconsciously asked loudly: "Do you want more water?"
Hearing this, Gu Siming immediately stopped smiling and put on his usual icy face, looking down at her without saying a word.
Unable to immediately adapt to the fact of waking up from a dream, Lu Yao, with her hair as messy as grass, looked around in confusion, and finally her eyes fixed on Gu Siming.
At that moment, it was as if several pairs of large hands were tightly grasping her throat. She even found it extremely difficult to speak. She could only smile dryly and said, "Gu, President Gu...good morning..."
Gu Siming said coldly: "You still know it's morning now?"
Lu Yao hurriedly fixed her hair, and suddenly glanced at Gu Siming's still swollen cheeks. Her heart skipped a beat, and she simply lowered her head and apologized in a low voice: "President Gu, it was all my fault yesterday. If you want to punish me, just punish me, don't blame our boss..."
The corners of Gu Siming's lips twitched, but soon returned to normal, and he asked coldly, "What did you do wrong?"
Lu Yao felt that he had done a lot of things wrong, but he didn't know how to answer, so he just acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and just admitted: "Anyway, all the mistakes are my fault!"
Gu Siming choked, which was rare, and his face became a little ugly.
Although he had always explained to others that he was "allergic to alcohol" and had never revealed anything under the "cover" of his assistant, the actual situation was... every time he drank, his behavior was out of control. He would always randomly pull someone around him to hug and kiss them. Even Lin Feng had been forcibly held in his arms...
But Lu Yao in front of him looked like a blockhead, so he had no idea what he had done last night.
Thinking of this, Gu Siming raised his hand helplessly and touched his red and swollen cheek, and he understood something in his heart.
It seems that he must have done something he shouldn't have done, leaving such traces.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Yao again, only to see her huddled in the corner of the sofa. Although she tried her best to show a look of fear and terror, her bright eyes were restlessly secretly observing his reaction.
Gu Siming knew very well that he could not get any useful information from her. Just as he was thinking of letting her go, he heard Lu Yao's stomach making a very loud "gurgling" sound.
This time, when Lu Yao was awake, his face finally turned as red as a monkey's butt.
All the embarrassment seemed to be resolved at this moment, and the cold look in Gu Siming's eyes also dissipated slightly. Fortunately, he turned around quickly and concealed his emotions perfectly.
"Eat first." Gu Siming's voice sounded flat and as light as water, but it also had a chill in it. "We'll talk slowly after we finish eating."
The last breakfast—this was Lu Yao’s accurate definition of this sumptuous meal.
Even if she didn't understand the ways of the world, she should have understood that handing the wrong glass of wine to her alcohol-allergic sponsor and slapping him was no small matter. It was a question whether she could walk out of here alive, so there was no need for her to guess why he "rewarded" her with such an impeccable and exquisite breakfast, because -
Isn’t this the same principle as why a death row inmate should have a good last meal?
Gu Siming, who was sitting on the sofa fiddling with his computer, seemed to have no appetite. He just said "eat whatever you want" and started to get busy. Lu Yao hesitated for a while, rubbed his hungry stomach, and gave up the last struggle.
If she had to choose between dying of starvation and dying of fullness, she would definitely choose the latter!
On the dining table, the golden, soft bread and fragrant ham seemed to be covered with a layer of sacred golden light. The remaining desserts and meat products nakedly tempted Lu Yao's already wavering will. Her hands began to become uncontrollable, and she trembled as she grabbed the spotless silver knife and fork...
While fiddling with the computer, Gu Siming occasionally raised his head and glanced in Lu Yao's direction.
He has always been very accurate in controlling time. In ten minutes, he was distracted to observe Lu Yao's movements only twice, and the third time was in the fifteenth minute.
But when he raised his head for the third time, he felt that his sight was pressed on Lu Yao like nails, and he couldn't move away no matter what.
Where did the breakfast that was full on the table not long ago and enough for three or four people go?
Gu Siming's pupils trembled violently. He couldn't help but look around. After repeating it several times, the incredible answer finally rang loudly in his mind: Lu Yao ate everything by himself.
After finishing breakfast, the satisfied Lu Yao didn't notice Gu Siming's horrified look at all. She seemed to have grown bolder after eating. She walked up to Gu Siming with her chest held high and said word by word, "Can we continue the conversation now?"
The "fed" Lu Yao is no ordinary Lu Yao! She is not afraid even if the sky falls!
Gu Siming suspected that he was dreaming. He rubbed his brows gently, but couldn't help asking, "Did you eat all those things?"
Lu Yao's cheeks flushed slightly, but she answered frankly, "Yes."
Gu Siming's fingers froze and he fell into deep thought again.
At this moment, what emerged in his mind were three perfect healthy diet and exercise plans that were flawless. He had to read the contents every day and strictly abide by them in order to barely maintain his current body shape.
Yes, although he really doesn't want to admit it, he is indeed a person who is prone to obesity and will gain fat easily even if he drinks water.
The girl in front of him was slim and slender, with a slender waist, long limbs, and even muscles. No matter how you looked at her, she had the rare golden ratio. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that she had eaten all those things!
"You eat so much... won't you get fat?" Gu Siming asked tentatively.
Lu Yao shook her head: "I am exercising!"
Gu Siming, who always handled things in an orderly and flawless manner, narrowed his eyes, clearly showing disbelief.
Just exercise? How is that possible! How long would it take to burn off so many calories? He has also been exercising to lose weight.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, put the computer aside, and smiled kindly: "What other work do you have next?"
"Ah?" Lu Yao was stunned by his sudden smile and responded blankly.
"I mean..." Gu Siming tapped the corner of the sofa armrest thoughtfully, and said in a low voice, "Besides being my temporary assistant, do you have any other job?" He looked at Lu Yao's increasingly confused expression, gritted his teeth and continued to explain, "I mean, if not, you can consider being my long-term assistant."
Time seemed to stop for a few seconds.
Lu Yao blinked her eyes and finally understood what Gu Siming was saying, but she chuckled a few times: "President Gu, please stop joking. You haven't settled your previous accounts with me yet, right?"
After experiencing the incident of dancing with Lin Feng, she finally realized how vindictive Gu Siming was, so she had to be careful.
Gu Siming looked away and said nonsense in a serious tone, "Oh, settle accounts? There's nothing to settle. Although you brought me wine yesterday, your emergency response ability was very good. You didn't let anyone see my ugly drunken appearance. You deserve praise." He paused and racked his brains to think about it, "Besides, everyone makes mistakes. Your little mistake is nothing."
Lu Yao's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it: "I...was that a small mistake?"
Gu Siming nodded calmly, despite his conscience: "Of course."
Lu Yao was so surprised that she almost jumped up, but suddenly she seemed to think of something and became a little hesitant: "But my company..."
Gu Siming interrupted her directly: "I will solve it."
After a few seconds of silence, a colorful mushroom cloud seemed to explode in Lu Yao's brain. She grinned uncontrollably, giggled a few times, and sincerely thanked Gu Siming: "President Gu! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"
Although she had worked in various jobs, each of them ended in tragedy. No one had ever accepted her so tolerantly, forgiven her mistakes, or given her another chance...
Lu Yao's eyes were filled with sincere emotion, and it seemed as if two hot flames were burning in her eyes, making Gu Siming feel a little guilty.
If this simple girl knew that I kept her just to find out the secret of why she had a big appetite but didn't get fat, would she be disappointed and sad?
But when his eyes fell on the clean dishes that had been "cleaned up" not far away, and Lu Yao's perfectly proportioned figure, such thoughts disappeared without a trace .
Well! As long as he doesn't treat her badly, there shouldn't be any problem.
President Gu has always done things in an aboveboard way, even when he cheated someone. This was the first time he made such a "don't have any intention" decision, and he was still a little embarrassed, which softened his tone a little bit: "Someone will take you to complete the entry procedures, and you can also take the clothes and jewelry from last night."
Lu Yao was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes and she nodded desperately.
The salary is so good right after joining? It's really a big company!
Lu Yao's increasingly grateful expression made Gu Siming a little upset. He didn't know how to treat her for a moment, so he simply turned around and continued to pick up the computer to concentrate on his work, then raised his chin towards the exit: "I will officially start work tomorrow, just wait for the news, goodbye."
Although they had only been together for one night, Lu Yao had already gotten used to Gu Siming's indifference, so she tried her best to suppress her inner joy, as if she was afraid of disturbing his thoughts. She held back her smile and tiptoed away quietly, but when she pushed the door open and took a step forward, she almost bumped into a familiar figure.
The beautiful assistant I met in the hospital last night limped back a few steps, and a hurried smile appeared on her delicately made-up face: "Huh? You're still here? Did your work go well yesterday? I was afraid that the president would not be used to it, so I left the hospital early to come to work." With that, the beautiful assistant walked straight into the room.
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed her arm and said, "No! Actually, that..."
Damn it! How could she forget about this beautiful assistant? She had already accepted Gu Siming's job invitation. How should she explain it to the beautiful assistant now?
The beautiful assistant glanced at Lu Yao suspiciously, and said in a slightly impatient tone, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Lu Yao bit her lips with a red face, countless words surging in her mind, but she didn't know how to say them. At the same time, because of her guilty conscience, she gradually loosened her grip on the beautiful assistant's hand.
The beautiful assistant walked into the house again, but a cold voice sounded in time, dispelling all the uneasiness in Lu Yao's heart: "Gao Lei, go back and recuperate. My new assistant is Lu Yao now."
Accompanied by a sound of very light footsteps, Gu Siming's slender figure came in front of Lu Yao.
Gao Lei's face turned red and white when she heard this. She forced a smile and asked weakly, "President, did I do something wrong? If it was the car accident yesterday, it was something I couldn't control."
Gu Siming simply replied: "It's not your fault, I just think Lu Yao is more suitable now."
Gao Lei's face became even uglier.
Lu Yao, who was standing behind Gu Siming, was in a dilemma. She pinched the corner of her clothes anxiously, unable to make up her mind.
What should she do? She didn't want to take Gao Lei's job, but she also didn't want to give up the opportunity that could belong to her...
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt Gao Lei's sharp and resentful gaze scraping her body like a knife.
"How could things turn upside down in just one night?" Gao Lei said in a cold tone, "What dirty tricks did you use? Could it be that you relied on your pretty face?"
Lu Yao's heart seemed to be hit hard by a hammer, and she hurriedly replied: "It's not what you think..."
"What does that look like?" Gao Lei's face was a little distorted. "Don't tell me that you are so outstanding that you can replace me after only being the president's assistant for one night!"
Gao Lei pressed on step by step, and each word she said became more and more unpleasant.
The corners of Lu Yao's clothes had been twisted into deep wrinkles by her fingers, but her throat was extremely dry, as if someone had sprinkled a handful of hot sand on it. She couldn't say anything, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.
She was afraid to see Gao Lei's resentful eyes, so she could only whisper intermittently: "I'm sorry..."
Hearing Lu Yao's words, Gu Siming trembled.
She only said three short words, but her attitude was as humble as a jerk. This attitude was completely different from the girl who had just stared at him and promised that "everything was her fault" not long ago.
For some reason, he didn't want to see Lu Yao like this.
As if driven by some kind of magic, the coldness in Gu Siming's eyes deepened. He stared at Gao Lei, who was still full of resentment, with a hint of interrogation, and asked with a half-smile, "Do I need you to check when I select employees?"
Gu Siming's words frightened Gao Lei's heart. Thinking of her own complacency, her legs softened and she almost fell to the ground. She stammered, "No, no..."
"No?" Gu Siming's tone became even more impatient, "If it's not you, what are you doing here?"
Gao Lei felt extremely wronged and pleaded in a tearful voice, "President, I..."
Gu Siming raised his hand and made an interrupting gesture, and was about to order her to leave immediately, but his eyes inadvertently caught Lu Yao's uneasy and frightened face.
Her face at this moment looked like a ripe tomato.
Gu Siming couldn't help but think, if he fired Gao Lei like this, this girl would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life, right?
Gu Siming, who always did his own thing, seemed to have met his nemesis. He sighed helplessly and said, "I will arrange other work for you. Go back and wait for news."
For Gao Lei, although she still wanted to continue to work as Gu Siming's assistant, she didn't dare to say anything more when she thought of Gu Siming's cold expression not long ago. She could only secretly glare at Lu Yao, then responded in a low voice and staggered away.
Just like that, Lu Yao and Gu Siming were the only ones left in the room again.
Lu Yao secretly loosened her hands that were twisting the corners of her clothes, took small steps towards Gu Siming, and didn't dare to speak for a long time. Finally, Gu Siming asked without even raising his head: "What's wrong?"
Lu Yao asked timidly, "President...will you really help her arrange other work?"
Hearing this, Gu Siming felt a little unhappy and asked, "What do you think?"
This little girl actually questioned whether the president of a large group would go back on his word. Businessmen value the word "integrity". Gu Siming either refused to agree, or if he agreed, he would definitely do it. Besides, it was just a simple job for someone.
Lu Yao stared at Gu Siming seriously for a few seconds, as if trying to tell whether his words were true or false. After a long silence, she straightened up, smiled brightly, and said happily: "CEO, I believe you! Because you are the first person who recognizes my work ability! Thank you! I will definitely not let you down!"
After saying that, Lu Yao bowed deeply three times in an exaggerated manner, then said goodbye to Gu Siming and left, leaving Gu Siming behind as if he had been punched hard on the head.
Honestly speaking, this was the first time that Gu Siming felt "out of control". He felt that some things seemed to have gradually deviated from his original plan. And the key point of this "out of control" was Lu Yao.
She seems... not to play by the rules at all...
Frowning slightly, Gu Siming couldn't help but raise his hand to press his still red and swollen cheek.
As expected... anyone who dares to slap him... is different!
