Chapter 176: Chapter 176: That Scumbag is a Hidden Heir? What a Huge Northern Hemisphere

What the hell?

The President of Tidal Group?

"Er...(⊙o⊙)..."

’I just rejected a friend request from my own boss?’

Gu Yizhou was completely dumbfounded.

"Yan... Yan Luoxi..."

he muttered under his breath.

Honestly, he really couldn’t remember that his company’s president had this name.

All this time, the company employees had mostly referred to her as the "ice mountain beauty." Basically no one called the president by her name, so you really couldn’t blame him!

But!

The thought that he had mistaken her for a "tea scammer" earlier made Gu Yizhou cringe with embarrassment.

But then Gu Yizhou had another thought.

’Wait a minute!’

’Why would this ice queen want to add me on WeChat?’

’I’m just a tiny, insignificant employee. We have nothing to do with each other, right?’

’Oh, except for handing her a tissue that one time.’

’But... didn’t she already reward me with two thousand yuan?’

’So why is she suddenly trying to add me now?’

’Could she really be a scammer?’

After all, the telecom scams in this world were on par with those from his previous life on Earth.

Plus, he had made a decent amount of money on the stock market recently. Relatively speaking, he was a little well-off now.

’And my current profile still shows me as a dumb, bright-eyed college student. People like that are the easiest damn targets to scam!’

’Maybe I should just... ignore her? Pretend I didn’t see the friend request?’

’But... I already rejected her once...’

’No, wait!’

’The first time, she didn’t add a note saying she was the President of Tidal Group. I can totally say I didn’t know who it was and thought it was some random spam account, and that’s why I rejected it.’

’Hmm...’

’That’s the plan.’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

Having settled on this, Gu Yizhou put the matter aside.

He started his lunch break on the rest sofa next to his workstation.

Tidal Group provided a rest sofa for every employee’s workstation.

Of course, you could choose not to sleep; it wasn’t mandatory.

It had to be said, this was a rather humane policy.

Gu Yizhou put on his eye mask, closed his eyes, and began his nap.

...

「2:30 PM.」

It was time for the afternoon work session, and everyone began to gradually get up and get back to work.

But anyone who’s ever had an office job knows that you can’t just dive right back into work after a lunch nap.

Going to the bathroom, washing your face, getting hot water for tea, making coffee... after completing this whole series of rituals, the afternoon work routine wouldn’t truly begin until around three o’clock.

Gu Yizhou was, of course, no exception.

After all, everyone else was doing it. He couldn’t look like he wasn’t a team player, could he?

Fine!

The truth was, he just wanted to slack off.

Experiencing office life was one thing, but when it was time to slack off, you had to slack off.

A workday without slacking off was an incomplete workday.

After folding his blanket and putting it in the sofa’s storage compartment, Gu Yizhou rubbed his eyes and walked toward the pantry with his mug.

The pantry was quite crowded at this time.

If it weren’t for the fact that Tidal Group’s pantries were large and plentiful, there’s no way this many people could have fit.

Well.

Most of them were female employees.

At this time of day, the pantry was the ladies’ domain.

The ladies were chatting casually about gossip while making coffee, and at first glance, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The moment Gu Yizhou walked in, he immediately drew everyone’s attention.

It couldn’t be helped!

As the finance department’s "hottie," it was only natural for Gu Yizhou to get some extra attention from the women.

And Gu Yizhou, long used to this situation, greeted the numerous ladies openly before walking in to get hot water for his tea.

"Hey, Yizhou, I heard from my supervisor that you’re a permanent employee now. Congratulations!"

Chen Wanyu, the matriarch of the finance department’s Group One, dressed in black fishnet stockings, said to Gu Yizhou.

As a divorcée, Chen Wanyu was much more open... er, much more generous than the other unmarried ladies.

Despite the rather cold weather, her northern hemisphere was still generously exposed, not minding the audience’s appreciation in the slightest.

In the finance department, she was the one who often led the teasing of Gu Yizhou.

Her enthusiasm was so intense that Gu Yizhou often found it overwhelming.

Hearing her words, everyone present looked astonished.

This was especially true for the few other interns who, like Gu Yizhou, hadn’t graduated from university yet. They were all staring at him in shock.

Never mind that Gu Yizhou didn’t have his graduation certificate yet.

If they remembered correctly, this year’s intern-to-permanent performance review hadn’t even officially started, had it?

How did he get converted to a permanent employee ahead of schedule?

Could it be that this handsome guy in front of them had connections?

Or was he the youngest son of a high-level executive just here to experience life?

In an instant, everyone’s thoughts began to race, and the way they looked at Gu Yizhou changed.

If before they were just drooling over... er, ptooey, just admiring Gu Yizhou’s looks, now there was another reason: if they got on his good side, they might just be able to marry into wealth!

Seeing everyone staring at him, Gu Yizhou felt a little awkward.

He gave a small laugh and said, "Sister Wayu, you’re really well-informed. Yes, I was converted a while ago, hahaha..."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s confirmation, the women present became even more determined in their idea to get on "good" terms with him.

"Yizhou, that’s really great!"

Chen Wanyu made a fist pump at Gu Yizhou and said with a wide smile, "Keep up the good work! I’ve got high hopes for you!"

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wayu!"

Gu Yizhou replied with a smile as well.

Perhaps because the women were all so shocked by the fact that Gu Yizhou, not even a graduate yet, had become a permanent employee, for once, they didn’t tease him verbally.

Instead, they turned to gossiping among themselves.

"Oh, by the way, sisters, have you guys been watching that recent costume drama on Mango TV called *Guan Mountain One Thought*?"

"Whoa, you’re watching that show too?"

"Yeah, yeah! I watch it every night after I get home from work!"

"The main actress played by Liu Sisi is so cool, I love her!"

"I know, right! Her look really fits my ideal image of a wuxia costume drama!"

"Totally!"

"She really is one of the ’Three Beauties of Chinese Paladin’! So many years have passed, and she’s still so beautiful!"

"Honestly, while the current Xiaohua are pretty, they really can’t compare to them."

"Yeah, out of the ’Three Beauties of Chinese Paladin,’ besides Tang Yan, Da Mimi is also doing amazing right now!"

...

Having found common ground, the group of women started chattering away.

Some liked Da Mimi, some liked Liu Sisi, and others liked Tang Yan, and they started to debate.

The scene was quite intense and "turbulent," and Gu Yizhou didn’t know where to look.

Suddenly, the fishnet-stocking-clad Chen Wanyu turned to Gu Yizhou and asked, "Hey, Yizhou, of the ’Three Beauties of Chinese Paladin,’ which one do you like the most?"

...
