Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Is Yan Luoxi Jealous? That Scumbag, Flirting Around Everywhere

"Holy shit!"

Just then, He Mingyi seemed to remember something. He slapped his thigh and swore.

Seeing his erratic behavior, many of them couldn’t help but frown slightly.

But he paid them no mind, muttering to himself as he spoke to the group, "You guys think that Yizhou guy is just playing dumb this whole time, that he’s secretly a rich kid?"

Hearing this, many of them grew thoughtful.

This was especially true for Leader Chen of Team Three. He muttered under his breath, "No wonder he became a full-time employee before even getting his diploma."

"Hm?"

Since they were all standing close together, quite a few people heard him, even though he’d spoken quietly.

"Leader Chen, did you just say Brother Yizhou already became a full-time employee?"

Song Sisi asked in surprise.

As she spoke, everyone’s eyes involuntarily turned to Leader Chen.

"Uh... that’s right!"

Chen Dong nodded. "That kid, Gu Yizhou, got his full-time status a while ago."

"This..."

The group was utterly shocked.

Before this, none of them had known Gu Yizhou was already a full-time employee.

Gu Yizhou hadn’t gone around announcing it, so it was normal that they didn’t know.

Chen Dong saw that Gu Yizhou hadn’t said anything, so he hadn’t either.

After all, there were still a few other interns in the team who, like Gu Yizhou, hadn’t graduated yet. He was afraid it would affect their morale.

"Holy crap!"

"Leader, are you serious?"

"That Yizhou guy became a full-timer a while ago? So you’re saying he’s an official employee of the group now?!"

Before anyone else could speak, He Mingyi, who was standing to the side, couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Yes, Gu Yizhou is an official employee of the group now. Last month, he was paid a full-time employee’s salary."

Chen Dong no longer hid the fact.

Everyone: "..."

"We’re all interns, and he secretly got promoted early?!"

"What the fuck!"

"What right does that son of a bitch have?"

He Mingyi said sourly.

"..."

Chen Dong glanced at him, then said flatly, "The notice supposedly came directly from the President’s Office. If you have a problem with it, you can take it up with President Yan."

He Mingyi: "..."

Meanwhile, Song Sisi seized on the key point. She furrowed her little brow, having suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Leader Chen, are you saying President Yan was the one who arranged for Brother Yizhou’s promotion?"

"That’s right!"

"That’s what Supervisor Lin told me."

"That’s why I asked that kid, Gu Yizhou, if he was related to President Yan’s family. He said no at the time."

"And now, today, he’s going to lunch with President Yan!"

"Seriously... No, I have to get that kid Gu Yizhou to fess up later!"

Chen Dong said with a smile.

To be honest, he never would have guessed that Gu Yizhou knew President Yan.

’Thankfully, I haven’t had any conflicts with him recently,’ he thought to himself.

When the others present heard what Chen Dong said, their eyes all lit up.

’It’s true!’

’If what our leader says is true...’

’Then Gu Yizhou really might be a hidden rich kid!’

’To think a big shot was hiding right here among us.’

’I guess I’ll have to get closer to Gu Yizhou from now on!’

...

Of course, Gu Yizhou was oblivious to his colleagues’ thoughts.

He was currently leading President Yan Luoxi to a small bucket rice shop where he often ate with his colleagues.

Since the lunch rush was already over, there were only a few people left in the shop.

The proprietress was clearing the tables.

Just as the two of them stepped into the shop, the proprietress heard the door and called out, "Welcome."

She looked up as she spoke, and her eyes fell upon Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi.

She froze for a second.

The proprietress asked, a little puzzled, "Xiaogu, it’s almost one-thirty. Why are you only just now coming to eat?"

Gu Yizhou and his colleagues came here often, so the owner and his wife knew them.

Especially Gu Yizhou—he was so handsome, it was hard to forget him.

But this was the first time she had seen Yan Luoxi, the woman beside him.

’What a beautiful young woman! Her aura is just a bit too cold, though,’ the proprietress thought to herself.

While she was sizing up Yan Luoxi, Yan Luoxi was sizing her up as well.

The proprietress looked to be in her thirties or forties and was still quite charming.

’She’s so familiar with that damn man?’

’That damn man.’

’Flirting with women everywhere!’

Yan Luoxi felt a pang of jealousy.

Hearing the proprietress’s question, Gu Yizhou instinctively glanced at Yan Luoxi, who was standing beside him.

Noticing his gaze, Yan Luoxi glanced back.

Their eyes met.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

When it came to sheer presence, if Yan Luoxi claimed to be second, no one would dare claim first!

Naturally, Gu Yizhou was the one who lost this round.

The proprietress, standing off to the side, secretly sized them up. Seeing that their relationship seemed a little odd, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Ahem~"

Gu Yizhou faked a cough, pulled his gaze away, and turned to the proprietress with an awkward smile. "Oh, Sister Hong, it’s like this. I got held up with some work, so I’m a little late."

"Oh, I see."

The proprietress, whom he called Sister Hong, was still a bit puzzled but didn’t press the matter.

Having run a restaurant and seen so many people every day, she could naturally tell that the relationship between Gu Yizhou and this cold, aloof girl was a bit delicate.

So, she didn’t interfere. "Alright then, Xiaogu and you, young lady, why don’t you two sit down first and see what you’d like to eat today?"

"Okay, Sister Hong. You can go back to what you were doing. I’ll call you when we’ve decided," Gu Yizhou said.

"Alrighty!"

The proprietress, Sister Hong, nodded.

With that, she carried the dishes from the previous customers back to the kitchen.

After she left, Gu Yizhou looked at Yan Luoxi and said, "President Yan, let’s sit over there. Is that okay with you?"

Gu Yizhou was pointing to a clean table in the front on the left.

"Mm."

Yan Luoxi glanced at it without a word, just giving a slight nod.

She then walked over and was the first to sit down.

After they sat down facing each other, Gu Yizhou said, "President Yan, the menu’s on the wall. See what you’d like to eat."

After Gu Yizhou finished speaking, Yan Luoxi looked up at the large menu on the wall.

There was fish-fragrant shredded pork bucket rice, braised chicken bucket rice, salted fish with pork belly bucket rice, green pepper with shredded pork bucket rice, and farmhouse stir-fried pork bucket rice... and so on!

There seemed to be quite a variety, and it even came with pictures.

The prices weren’t expensive either; the most expensive dish didn’t even exceed 35 yuan.

Seeing Yan Luoxi staring blankly at the menu on the wall, Gu Yizhou assumed she was worried about hygiene.

This was actually quite normal.

After all, in her entire life, Yan Luoxi had probably never eaten at a place like this.

After a moment of thought, Gu Yizhou spoke...
