Chapter 177: Ice Xi and the Jerk’s First Official Clash

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Ice Xi and the Jerk’s First Official Clash

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou, who had just filled his cup with hot water and was about to leave, was suddenly called out. He froze for a moment.

He turned his head and met the alluring gaze of the young woman in black stockings and fishnets.

"The Three Beauties of Chinese Paladin? What’s that?"

Gu Yizhou blurted out subconsciously.

Hearing this, Chen Wanyu couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

Then she explained, "I’m talking about Liu Sisi, Da Mimi, and Tang Yan. From a man’s perspective, which of the three do you think is prettier?"

"Which one is prettier?"

Gu Yizhou replied with a straight face, "Only children make choices!"

"?????"

Chen Wanyu stared at him, completely baffled.

She had no idea what he was talking about.

It wasn’t just her; the other women didn’t understand what Gu Yizhou said either.

Seeing everyone’s dumbfounded expressions, Gu Yizhou finally realized.

’Right.’

’This world doesn’t have that Stephen Chow movie.’

"Um... Actually, I think they all look about the same,"

Gu Yizhou said after a moment of thought.

Everyone: "..."

It was like he hadn’t said anything at all.

’What a hopelessly straight guy!’

Chen Wanyu rolled her eyes at him again and said irritably, "Just pick one of the three, seriously!"

"Er..."

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "Da Mimi, then."

"Da Mimi?"

The others asked, a little confused, "Why her?"

Just then, Assistant Bai Jie suddenly appeared in the breakroom.

"Hello, Assistant Bai."

Several people greeted her.

She nodded at the crowd, then called into the room, "Is Gu Yizhou here?"

As soon as she said this, everyone froze for a second.

’The president’s assistant is looking for Gu Yizhou?’

Just a moment ago, everyone was wondering if Gu Yizhou was a secret second-generation heir, and now the president’s assistant was here looking for him!

This just confirmed their suspicions!

You have to understand, this was the president’s personal assistant. She normally wouldn’t be sent out on errands.

Besides, Gu Yizhou was just a regular employee. What business could the president possibly have with him?

Even if the president did have something to discuss, she wouldn’t need to send her personal assistant to fetch him in person!

Therefore, Gu Yizhou had to be either the son of a high-level executive or a secret second-generation heir!

’It’s confirmed!’

The group all looked at Gu Yizhou, their eyes glinting.

However, Gu Yizhou himself was also completely dumbfounded.

’What the hell?’

’Why is the president’s assistant looking for me?’

Suddenly, he remembered the friend request!

’Oh, crap!’

’Is she here to chew me out?!’

’No way!’

’I don’t even know the president!’

At that moment, Bai Jie also saw Gu Yizhou.

It couldn’t be helped.

Among a group of women, Gu Yizhou stood out so much.

With his exceptional looks, it would be hard not to recognize him.

’To quote a line from a Stephen Chow movie: "You are such a magnificent man, so distinct, so outstanding."’

’"That melancholy look in your eyes, that rugged stubble, your god-like knife skills, and that cup of dry martini, have all completely captivated me."’

’"However, even though you are so outstanding, there are rules of the trade. No matter what, you still have to pay for last night’s stay..."’

’Er... this is getting off-topic!’

"You must be Gu Yizhou, right?"

Bai Jie asked, looking at Gu Yizhou.

As she spoke, she sized up Gu Yizhou’s ridiculously handsome face.

’Tsk!’

’To be honest, with a face like that, he could make a living in the entertainment industry for the rest of his life!’

’Oh, right.’

’I heard the reporters and paparazzi downstairs last time were all here for him.’

’President Yan was angry about that.’

’But I did see that video of Gu Yizhou singing.’

’And to be honest, it was really good.’

’What a shame.’

’He actually managed to piss off President Yan.’

’Otherwise, it would’ve been nice to see this handsome face around the office from time to time. It’s easy on the eyes.’

Bai Jie thought to herself.

"Um, that’s me. Hello, is there something you need from me?"

Gu Yizhou forced himself to ask.

"Oh, President Yan is looking for you. Please come with me to her office."

Bai Jie said.

But her eyes, as she looked at Gu Yizhou, were filled with sympathy.

At these words, the looks the others gave Gu Yizhou became even more suggestive!

’Just as we thought!’

’He really is a hidden big shot!’

Gu Yizhou: "..."

The others might not have noticed the look in her eyes, but Gu Yizhou saw it as clear as day!

’Damn it!’

’She really is here to chew me out!’

For a moment, Gu Yizhou didn’t want to speak.

"Oh, okay. Let’s go then."

Gu Yizhou knew the president was summoning him because of the friend request, so he couldn’t be bothered to struggle.

’Since I can’t fight it, I might as well accept my fate!’

’Damn.’

Watched by a crowd of chattering women, Gu Yizhou followed President Yan’s assistant, Bai Jie.

「Inside the elevator.」

The atmosphere was a bit tense.

Bai Jie kept sneaking glances at Gu Yizhou, her heart filled with pity.

Gu Yizhou, meanwhile, was preoccupied with why the president would add him as a friend and how he was going to explain rejecting her request. He didn’t notice Bai Jie’s gaze.

As the elevator ascended rapidly, it soon reached the top floor where the executive offices were located.

"DING~"

The elevator doors opened.

"We’re here."

Bai Jie said, then stepped out first.

Gu Yizhou glanced at her without a word and braced himself as he followed her out.

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—"

Bai Jie knocked on the door to the president’s office.

"Come in."

Yan Luoxi’s cool voice came from inside the office.

Gu Yizhou then followed Bai Jie into the office.

"President Yan, Gu Yizhou from the finance department is here."

Bai Jie stood before the desk and spoke very respectfully.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s hands paused for a fraction of a second, but she quickly returned to normal.

Without looking up, she said, "Alright, I know. Assistant Bai, you can go back to your work now."

"Yes, President Yan."

Bai Jie nodded, glanced at Gu Yizhou, and turned to leave.

"BANG~"

As the office door closed, only Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi were left in the room.

Gu Yizhou secretly sized up his boss.

Having lived two lives, there wasn’t any type of woman Gu Yizhou hadn’t seen.

But to be honest, aside from her slightly cold appearance, the woman before him was undeniably beautiful.

Her jet-black, silky hair cascaded over her shoulders, shimmering with a captivating luster. She wore a black suit jacket, which, combined with her cool, delicate face, made her seem incredibly glamorous and aloof.

’She really lives up to her title as Modu’s most beautiful iceberg president!’

Sensing the damn man was secretly looking at her, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

’This damn man!’

If any other man had looked at her like that, Yan Luoxi would have thrown him out long ago.

But when this damn man looked at her, she felt incredibly nervous instead.

"You... have a seat first. I’ll be with you after I finish this."

Yan Luoxi tried her best to make her voice sound calm.
