Chapter 113: Chapter 113: The CEO and Gu Yizhou Are a Really Good Match

"Huh?"

Bai Jie realized she’d lost her composure. However, she could tell from Yan Luoxi’s tone that her boss wasn’t going to hold it against her. A wave of relief washed over her, and she quickly said, "Oh, oh... Right. I’ll go now."

But as she reached the office door, on some strange impulse, she turned back and said, "President Yan, that employee in the elevator just now... do you know him?"

The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted it!

But words, once spoken, can’t be taken back!

’It’s over!’

’I’m so screwed!’

’This time I’m really going to get fired!’

’Bai Jie, why did you have to run your mouth like that!’

SOB SOB SOB...

"Hm?"

As for Yan Luoxi, she faltered for a moment when she heard her assistant’s question.

’What does she mean?’

She looked at her young assistant, Bai Jie, not quite understanding.

Seeing her president looking at her in confusion, Bai Jie braced herself and said in a small voice, "President Yan, just now... you looked at that employee no less than ten times..."

Yan Luoxi: "..."

Her heart skipped a beat!

’No way... Was I that obvious?’

On the surface, however, her expression remained blank.

’Ten times...’

’This... It’s all that damn Gu Yizhou’s fault!’

’Yes, it’s all that damn Gu Yizhou’s fault!’

’If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have lost my composure!’

Yan Luoxi thought irritably.

"Er..."

Seeing her president staring into space and seemingly not angry, Bai Jie quickly said, "President Yan, um... I’ll get back to work now!"

"Oh, go on then."

Yan Luoxi, still distracted, replied automatically.

Having gotten the approval, Bai Jie didn’t hesitate. She left the president’s office and bolted!

"Phew..."

After running all the way to the corner, Bai Jie quietly let out a sigh of relief.

"Good thing I ran fast, or my job would’ve really been on the line!"

"But who was that employee in the elevator today? Why was President Yan paying so much attention to him?"

"That’s not right. I’ve been with President Yan for so long, but I’ve never seen that guy before!"

"Could it be because that guy was so handsome that President Yan couldn’t help but stare?"

"But to be fair, even though that handsome guy seemed a bit arrogant, you can’t deny he’s seriously good-looking!"

"And you know, he and President Yan would actually make a good match!"

Bai Jie stood at the corner, muttering quietly to herself.

"Assistant Xiaobai, what are you muttering to yourself about?"

Just then, a voice drifted by her ear.

"Gah!"

Bai Jie jumped in fright!

She whipped her head around to see Vice President Roy standing in front of her, looking at her suspiciously.

"Such a big reaction, Assistant Xiaobai. Do you have a guilty conscience?"

Roy said, looking at her with a knowing smile.

"Huh?"

Bai Jie’s face flushed slightly. She shook her head frantically and said, "N-no... No, I don’t!"

Just after she said that, she suddenly remembered her task and added, "President Luo, President Yan just asked me to come and get you for a meeting in her office."

"Mm, I know about that."

Roy nodded and said, "That can wait. First, let’s talk about what you just said... who was it that would be a good match for President Yan?"

"Er..."

Panic seized Bai Jie’s heart!

’I’m so screwed!’

’Don’t tell me President Luo heard everything I just said?’

’If... If my president finds out about this, I’m really done for!’

Her eyes darted back and forth. She absolutely could not admit to it!

’Right!’

’I can’t admit it, even if it kills me! Otherwise, I’m toast!’

So, Bai Jie feigned a calm expression and said, "No, no, I didn’t say anything!"

"Mmm-hmm?"

Roy raised an eyebrow, her expression full of disbelief. "Is that so?"

"Yes!"

"President Luo, you must have misheard. I never said that!"

Bai Jie nodded vigorously, then said, "Um... President Luo, President Yan gave me other work to do, so I... I’ll get back to it."

With that, she turned and ran off on her short little legs!

Yes!

You saw that right. She ran...

"Er..."

Watching Assistant Bai Jie’s hasty retreat, Roy looked helpless.

But she was certain she hadn’t misheard.

’So, who would be a good match for that girl Xixi?’

’Looks like Auntie and I weren’t wrong. That girl Xixi really is dating someone!’

’Mmm... I’ll have to find some time to quietly sound out Assistant Xiaobai again...’

「Finance Department, Team Three Office.」

Gu Yizhou stared dumbfoundedly at his desk. It was covered in a breakfast spread spanning both Eastern and Western cuisine: steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, milk, bread, and tofu pudding.

"Brother Yizhou, why are you so late today? You haven’t eaten breakfast, have you?"

"I brought you some bread and milk. Here, have a little something to tide you over."

Song Sisi suddenly popped her head up next to Gu Yizhou and said with a wide smile.

"Er... Sisi, did you bring all this?"

Gu Yizhou asked, gesturing at the huge pile of breakfast in front of him.

Song Sisi glanced at the desk, first nodding, then shaking her head.

This left Gu Yizhou even more confused.

’Wait, so is it a yes or a no?’

Sensing the question in Gu Yizhou’s eyes, Song Sisi pointed at the milk and bread on the desk and explained, "I brought the milk and bread. As for the rest... I don’t know."

’Actually, I do know!’

’But I’m deliberately not saying!’

’Hmph!’

’They’re all here to steal Brother Yizhou from me. Why should I speak up for them!’

’Brother Yizhou can only be mine!’

’All of you, get out of my way!’

Song Sisi grumbled to herself.

After hearing Song Sisi’s explanation, Gu Yizhou pretty much understood.

He could also guess who had sent the other breakfast items.

Sigh~

’The kindness of a beauty is the hardest to accept.’

Gu Yizhou thought with a sense of helplessness.

"Brother Yizhou, hurry up and eat something."

Seeing Gu Yizhou lost in thought, Song Sisi urged him.

"Uh, Sisi... The thing is, I’ve already eaten breakfast, so I really can’t eat another bite. Why don’t you take this bread and milk back? You can have it this afternoon."

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment before saying to Song Sisi, a bit sheepishly.

"Huh?"

Song Sisi froze for a second when she heard Gu Yizhou’s words.

Then, a moment later, it hit her.

’Brother Yizhou is... rejecting my breakfast?’

"Brother Yizhou, you..."

She trailed off, her voice filled with grievance.

"Sisi, I don’t mean anything by it. I really have already eaten."

Gu Yizhou said helplessly, "All this other stuff on the desk, I’m going to return it to the others in a bit. Since I’ve already eaten, we can’t let it go to waste, right?"

"Oh, oh."

’So Brother Yizhou isn’t just rejecting my breakfast, he’s going to reject Sister Xiaomeng’s and the others’ too!’

Hearing his explanation, Song Sisi felt a little better...
