Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Yan Luoxi Wants to Advance Her Relationship with That Scumbag

After some thought, Yan Luoxi logged into her main account.

...

In the office of Finance Department III, Gu Yizhou was humming a little tune while his hands flew across the keyboard.

He was clearly in a good mood today.

Of course he was!

His cat had been lost and was now found; it was only natural for him to be happy.

"Hey, why is Old Gu so happy today?"

"Did you find some money on the ground?"

He Mingyi, who was nearby, chimed in with a joke.

Gu Yizhou turned to glance at him and said coolly, "Did you drop some money?"

"Huh?"

He Mingyi didn’t get it at first.

"If you didn’t drop any money, how could I have found some?"

Gu Yizhou said in a calm tone.

’This damn dog. I never noticed how annoying he was before. Lately, he’s just getting on my nerves more and more.’

’Damn it, last time this son of a bitch tricked me into paying for hot pot!’

’A gentleman always gets his revenge.’

’I need to find a chance to make this guy bleed a little!’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

He Mingyi: "..."

Seeing that Gu Yizhou was ignoring him, he could only turn back to his work sheepishly.

「Thirty minutes later.」

"Phew..."

"Finally done with this damn analysis report."

Gu Yizhou stopped what he was doing and stretched.

He glanced at the time in the bottom-right corner of his computer screen. It was already 11:50 AM.

’Almost time for lunch again!’

’I’ll grab lunch, take a nap, and then I just need to compile the reports when I wake up this afternoon.’

’I can get off work on time today and go home to Xiaobai.’

’I wonder how that little guy Xiaobai is doing at home by himself. Is his cold getting any better...’

’Maybe I should install a camera at home?’

’That way, I can check on Xiaobai anytime while I’m at work and prevent him from running away for days again.’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

But after thinking about it, Gu Yizhou shook his head.

’Putting a camera in my own home just feels a little weird.’

’It would feel like I was being watched.’

’Don’t say it won’t happen. It’s totally possible. I ran into it plenty of times in my past life.’

’Forget it!’

’I’ll think about it later.’

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ—

Just then, his phone, which was on the desk, started vibrating.

Gu Yizhou, snapping out of his thoughts, glanced over. It was a WeChat message.

He frowned slightly. ’This... couldn’t be more of that "toxic chicken soup" from my mom, pushing me to get married, could it?’

Shaking his head, Gu Yizhou picked up his phone and opened WeChat.

But he found it was a friend request.

?

He clicked on it and froze.

The friend request simply said: "I am Yan Luoxi."

’Yan Luoxi?’

’Why does that name look so familiar?’

For a moment, Gu Yizhou didn’t realize it was his boss’s name.

’Couldn’t be one of those tea-selling girls, could it?’

’First, you accept the friend request. Then they say they added the wrong person, start complaining about how hard life is, and then mention a grandfather who grows tea in the countryside...’

The thought of the "tea-selling girl" saga that was all the rage in his past life made Gu Yizhou not know whether to laugh or cry.

While Gu Yizhou was letting his imagination run wild, up in the CEO’s office on the top floor of the Tidal Group building, Yan Luoxi was staring nervously at her phone screen, her heart pounding with anxiety.

That’s right.

She was indeed the one who had sent Gu Yizhou the friend request.

Yan Luoxi had decided to start interacting with Gu Yizhou as herself.

When she was a cat, they had the relationship of a pet and its poop-scooping officer, but in reality, apart from being his superior, they had no other connection.

Yan Luoxi didn’t want things to stay this way.

She planned to get in touch with that dog man in real life and get to know him on a deeper level.

She also wanted to see how things would go if she interacted with the dog man in her human form. After all, she had already boasted to her parents that she was going to pursue him.

’But why hasn’t this dog man accepted my request yet?’

Yan Luoxi furrowed her delicate, pretty brows.

She waited a little longer.

Gu Yizhou still hadn’t accepted her friend request.

’Is he busy and didn’t notice?’

DING-DONG~

Just then, her phone chimed.

She quickly lifted her phone to look.

?????

But one glance was all it took for her eyes to widen in disbelief.

"He... rejected it?"

"That dog man actually rejected my friend request?"

Yan Luoxi stared in disbelief at the "Friend Request Declined" notification on her phone screen.

’Seriously!’

’Why?’

’Didn’t I put my name in the note?’

’Could it be that the dog man didn’t know it was me and thought I was some random person, so he rejected it?’

’Dog man!’

’You’ve really done it now!’

The more Yan Luoxi thought about it, the angrier she got.

She sent Gu Yizhou another friend request!

This time, she even added the words "CEO of Tidal Group."

"Dog man, you’d better accept it this time!"

Yan Luoxi muttered, extremely annoyed.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou and a few of his colleagues were heading downstairs.

Time to go get some grub!

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ—

Just as he stepped into the elevator, the phone in his pocket started vibrating again.

He pulled out his phone and glanced at it.

He paused for a second.

’Another friend request?’

"Is this tea-selling girl always this persistent?"

he muttered subconsciously.

Although his voice was quiet, the elevator was small, so the colleagues standing nearby all heard him.

"What tea-selling girl?"

someone asked curiously.

Song Sisi and the other women, in particular, looked at him with curiosity.

"Brother Yizhou, what’s wrong?"

Song Sisi looked at him, the very picture of curiosity.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou was taken aback for a moment.

He shook his head and said, "It’s nothing. Just some scammer who keeps trying to add me."

’It wasn’t that he didn’t want to explain, but the "tea-selling girl" meme didn’t exist in this world. Even if he told them, they wouldn’t get it.’

’So he just decided not to say anything.’

After speaking, he couldn’t be bothered to even look at the friend request and shoved his phone back into his pocket.

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that Gu Yizhou didn’t want to talk about it, Song Sisi and the others didn’t ask any more questions.

He might have stopped looking at his friend requests, but back in the office, Yan Luoxi was clutching her phone, waiting for him to accept.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Two and a half minutes...

Time ticked by, second by second.

And the expression on Yan Luoxi’s face grew darker and darker!

’He’s doing it on purpose!’

’He’s definitely doing it on purpose!’

Yan Luoxi seethed, gritting her teeth.

’Yes!’

’In my eyes, that dog Gu Yizhou is absolutely, intentionally not accepting my friend request.’

’Because I had already made my note so detailed!’

’Dog man.’

’You’re so done for!’

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK— KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

Just then, there was a knock at the office door.

Yan Luoxi frowned, but she collected herself and said in a calm voice, "Come in."

CLICK~

The door opened.

Her young assistant, Bai Jie, walked in, carrying a lunch box.

When she saw the awful expression on Yan Luoxi’s face, she froze for a moment.
