Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Gu Yizhou: My Bitter Fate, a Day of Working Overtime with the CEO

Actually, Yan Luoxi had wanted to call him a scumbag.

But she was afraid Gu Yizhou would beat her up.

After all, they were the only two people in the entire office.

’If I piss off that scumbag, I won’t be able to win a fight against him.’

’If he gets angry and comes at me with a knife, ready for a bloody massacre, I’ll be in real trouble.’

While Yan Luoxi’s imagination was running wild,

Gu Yizhou had already walked up to her.

"President Yan, you called for me?"

"Yes."

Yan Luoxi snapped back to reality and pointed a finger at a stock on her computer screen. "Come take a look at this stock."

"Oh."

Gu Yizhou nodded, then walked around to her side and leaned in to look at the computer screen.

The two of them were now very close.

Their faces were only a few centimeters apart.

Yan Luoxi could even smell that unique ’scumbag scent’ on Gu Yizhou.

"Huh?"

Upon noticing this, Yan Luoxi’s body stiffened slightly.

Her long, beautiful legs under the desk were now twisted together in nervousness.

But Gu Yizhou didn’t seem to notice. His eyes remained fixed on the stock on the screen, which was named "Celestial Pool Creatures."

’Celestial Pool Creatures?’

Gu Yizhou froze for a moment.

’Why does this stock’s name look so familiar?’

He frowned, unable to stop himself from thinking.

When he saw that Celestial Pool Creatures’ main business was in the selective breeding of livestock,

his eyes suddenly lit up.

’That’s it!’

’Isn’t this that monster stock from my past life?’

’A Growth Enterprise Market stock.’

’Its daily price limit was 20%.’

’In one month, its price had skyrocketed from 4 yuan to 35 yuan per share.’

Its unstoppable momentum drove everyone crazy.

It was even hailed as the bull stock of the year.

If the relevant authorities hadn’t urgently halted it back then, it probably would have gotten even crazier.

Later, in less than two years, the stock had been flagged as problematic and was at risk of being delisted.

’What a pity!’

’But!’

’Even up until the time of my accident, its price had remained around 10 yuan.’

No wonder it looked a little familiar when he first saw it.

Back in the day, Gu Yizhou had made a lot of money on this stock!

’I just don’t know if the ’Celestial Pool Creatures’ of this world will be as ferocious as the one on Earth in my past life.’

Gu Yizhou took a look. The stock’s current price was just over 4 yuan...

’Is it really such a coincidence?!’

He couldn’t help but frown.

While he was lost in thought, Yan Luoxi was secretly watching him.

’Seriously.’

’This scumbag is really handsome!’

’Even the way he frowns is so attractive.’

’No wonder he’s always attracting admirers wherever he goes.’

Yan Luoxi pouted, thinking to herself.

"You want to invest in this?"

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment before turning to President Yan Luoxi and asking.

"Mhm."

Hearing his voice, Yan Luoxi quickly retracted her gaze. She nodded and said, "I’d like to hear your opinion."

At her words, Gu Yizhou frowned. After some thought, he looked at Yan Luoxi again and said, "The stock’s current price isn’t too high. If you want to invest, you can give it a try, but I wouldn’t recommend investing too large a sum for now."

"Oh."

Yan Luoxi nodded, then continued to ask, "Then when can I increase the investment?"

"I’m not sure yet."

"Not sure yet?"

Yan Luoxi asked, confused.

"That’s right."

"Right now, all we have is a name. I haven’t looked up any specific information on this stock, and I haven’t done an analysis report. It would be reckless of me to say anything without data to back it up."

Gu Yizhou said very bluntly.

"Uh..."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi’s mind went blank before she finally came to her senses.

’Oh, right!’

’I’m a professional too, how could I have forgotten that for a moment?!’

Yan Luoxi looked embarrassed.

’I must look so stupid in front of this scumbag!’

’So humiliating!’

Gu Yizhou didn’t know what Yan Luoxi was thinking at that moment.

He thought for a moment and added, "I’ll make a note of this stock and observe it more closely."

"Oh, okay. Thank you for your hard work."

Yan Luoxi said.

Gu Yizhou turned to glance at her but said nothing.

’So you *do* know I’m working hard?’

’Then why’d you make me come in for overtime on a weekend?’

’You unscrupulous capitalist!’

he grumbled silently to himself.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to writing the analysis report."

Gu Yizhou said.

Yan Luoxi had wanted to give him a hard time, but she didn’t expect to be rendered speechless by just a few words from him.

She could only nod obediently and say, "Mhm, go ahead."

Gu Yizhou turned and went back to his desk to continue working.

He wanted to finish the analysis report quickly so he could get off work and go home early.

Although President Yan Luoxi was very easy on the eyes, his thoughts were with his cat at home.

He wondered if the little fellow had snuck out to play again while he was away.

Yan Luoxi saw that Gu Yizhou was working diligently.

As the boss, she couldn’t very well slack off herself.

Sigh~

’Time to work.’

Pulling back her gaze, Yan Luoxi also started to work.

...

「Time flew by, and soon it was four in the afternoon.」

Yan Luoxi checked the time. It was about time for her to leave.

She had to get back to the district one step ahead of Gu Yizhou.

Otherwise, he would discover she was missing.

’Although she really wanted to have dinner with the scumbag again...’

’...she was also afraid something unexpected might happen along the way.’

’It was a risk she couldn’t afford to take just yet.’

’Forget it.’

’There’s always tomorrow.’

’I’ll take it slow.’

After some thought, she stood up and said to the still-busy Gu Yizhou, "Um... how much is left on the analysis report?"

Gu Yizhou stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, and said, "Just a little more. About an hour, I think."

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi said, "Thank you for your hard work today. When you’re done with the analysis report in a bit, email it to me, and then you can head home."

"I have something else to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first."

"Oh, okay."

Gu Yizhou didn’t think much of it and nodded. "Alright, President Yan. Take care."

"Mhm."

’Scumbag.’

’See you at home.’

Yan Luoxi nodded, thinking to herself.

Then, she picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Gu Yizhou watched her retreating figure, shook his head, and went back to work.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Yan Luoxi was back at the Binjiang No.1 Mansion District.

She hadn’t turned into a cat yet and was still in her human form.

She first returned to apartment 306, next door.

BZZT— BZZT— BZZT—

She had just sat down and was drinking a glass of warm water when her phone started vibrating.

She picked up her phone and saw it was a message from her mom, asking her to come home for dinner.

It was too late for Yan Luoxi to go back, of course.

So, she called her mom and said she was busy with work today and would go back tomorrow if she had time.

...

「Meanwhile.」

In the top-floor president’s office at Tidal Group,

Gu Yizhou’s phone also started to ring...
