Chapter 227: A Bro’s Assist? Your President Definitely Likes You

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: A Bro’s Assist? Your President Definitely Likes You

"Holding a blue-porcelain keepsake, a promise I must keep... goodbyes are always steeped in sorrow..."

A cell phone rang.

Gu Yizhou froze for a moment.

’When did I turn off silent mode?’

’I must have bumped it by accident today.’

Gu Yizhou didn’t overthink it. He picked up his phone and glanced at the screen, seeing a call from his best bro, Chen Dongyuan.

’What’s this guy want?’

Frowning, Gu Yizhou tapped the answer button.

"Hey~"

"Old Chen, what’s up?"

Gu Yizhou put the phone on speaker and tossed it onto the table. "Spit it out, I’m busy!"

Huh?

Isn’t it the weekend? What are you busy with?

Chen Dongyuan was a bit baffled by Gu Yizhou’s words.

He spoke into the phone, "Well, uh, I’m treating the development department to pork stomach and chicken soup tonight. Wanna come?"

"Pork stomach and chicken soup?"

Gu Yizhou paused.

"Yeah!"

Chen Dongyuan said from the other end of the line, "The weather’s getting cold, right? Gotta get something nourishing."

"I’ll pass. You guys go ahead."

Gu Yizhou said, "I just had some today."

"Damn, you had pork stomach and chicken soup today?"

Hearing this, Chen Dongyuan was speechless. "You prick, you went and had it all for yourself without inviting me?!"

"I was with someone else. It wasn’t convenient to bring you along."

Gu Yizhou said, exasperated.

"Hm?"

"With someone else, and it wasn’t convenient to bring me?"

Chen Dongyuan asked curiously, "A girl?"

"Yeah."

Gu Yizhou replied casually.

"Holy shit!"

"No wonder you rejected my cousin Sisi!"

"So you’ve been secretly dating someone all this time!"

"Is it the Su School Beauty?"

"Were you on a date with the Su School Beauty today?"

Chen Dongyuan blurted out.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Gu Yizhou was rendered speechless by Chen Dongyuan’s words.

’What the hell is going through that bastard’s head?!’

"No."

"Dating my ass!"

"I ate with my boss!"

"I got dragged in for overtime today and spent the whole day writing an analysis report!"

Gu Yizhou said irritably.

"Overtime?"

"You ate with your boss?"

On the other end of the line, Chen Dongyuan paused for a second after hearing what Gu Yizhou said.

"If I remember correctly, your boss is that ice queen, Yan Luoxi, the most beautiful female president in Modu, right?"

Chen Dongyuan asked tentatively.

"Right!"

"That’s her!"

Speaking of which, Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered the bill for the pork stomach and chicken soup. Yan Luoxi had forgotten to reimburse him!

FUCK!!

’I worked overtime all day, and I even ended up losing a few hundred yuan!’

’No way!’

’I have to get that woman to reimburse me later!’

"Damn it, I’m the one who paid for lunch today. I’ll have to hit her up on WeChat later for the reimbursement!"

Gu Yizhou grumbled.

"Uh..."

Chen Dongyuan immediately latched onto the key point. He asked in surprise, "Old Gu, are you that close with your boss? You even have her WeChat!"

"It’s alright."

Gu Yizhou said casually, "Yeah, I have her WeChat! She’s the one who added me, actually!"

Chen Dongyuan: "..."

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

And he finally understood why this bastard Gu Yizhou refused to quit and insisted on keeping this damn job.

He also finally understood why this bastard Gu Yizhou wouldn’t accept the Su School Beauty and had rejected his own cousin’s confession.

Holy shit!

’So he’s getting all chummy with the female president of a hundred-billion-yuan corporation!’

To be honest, although Chen Dongyuan had never met Yan Luoxi in person, he had seen her plenty of times on TV and in the newspapers!

Her looks, her figure, her aura... they were truly impeccable.

If he had to choose, he’d definitely choose the beautiful president too!

So!

He didn’t blame Gu Yizhou.

"Old Gu!"

Chen Dongyuan said mysteriously, "I’m suddenly feeling like a prophet!"

"What the hell?"

"You looking to get stabbed?"

Gu Yizhou frowned, not quite understanding what his friend was saying.

"No!"

"Stabbed my ass!"

"Remember last time we went back to school? Didn’t I tell you to get your president and save yourself fifty years of hard work!"

"And you, you bastard, you actually did it!"

Chen Dongyuan said irritably.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

"Did it my ass!"

"She just asked me to come in for overtime!"

Gu Yizhou snapped, "Overtime, and we happened to have lunch together, that’s all. Got it?!"

"Alright, Old Gu, stop playing dumb!"

Chen Dongyuan said dismissively, "You’re just a lowly intern. What makes you think you’re qualified for the president of the entire corporation to personally call you in for overtime?"

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou froze when he heard his friend’s words.

’He’s right!’

’I’d been overlooking that point the whole time.’

’With the confidence from my past life experience and the system, I never really thought of myself as just a regular employee.’

’But other people don’t know any of that!’

’In everyone else’s eyes, I’m just a lowly intern about to graduate... Pfft, I’m already a full-time employee, okay?!’

’That’s right!’

’Speaking of becoming full-time, it seems it was President Yan Luoxi who notified the finance department to make an exception and convert me ahead of schedule...’

’And then there was President Yan Luoxi suddenly giving me a car worth several million...’

’Also... Yan Luoxi’s attitude after that awkward incident in the car at noon today.’

’We were alone together all day, and her attitude toward me really did seem a bit... subtle!’

’Especially the way her gaze would occasionally sweep over me.’

’Yes!’

’Yan Luoxi thought Gu Yizhou didn’t know she was sneaking glances at him!’

’But little did she know, Gu Yizhou was aware of it all.’

’He just hadn’t thought much of it at the time and hadn’t paid it any mind...’

Now!

With this reminder from Chen Dongyuan...

Gu Yizhou wasn’t an idiot. It all clicked into place.

’Uh...’

’I can’t believe this ice queen actually seems to like me.’

’But that doesn’t make sense!’

’Before she added me on WeChat, we barely interacted, right?’

’Why would she like me?’

’Could it be... she was captivated by my good looks?’

Gu Yizhou couldn’t figure it out.

"Hey, Old Gu, are you still there?"

"Don’t play dead, you bastard!"

"Damn it! You son of a bitch actually found a sugar mommy, so why the hell are we working so hard to start a business?!"

"I’m quitting this company! Old Gu, go get some money from your sugar mommy girlfriend, and let’s go travel the world!!"

Listening to Chen Dongyuan’s rambling on the other end of the line, Gu Yizhou finally snapped back to his senses.

"Piss off!"

"Don’t talk nonsense, you motherfucker! I’m still a proud, single man, alright?!"

Gu Yizhou snapped, "If you keep spreading these damn rumors and I can’t find a girlfriend because of it, are you going to compensate me?!"

Chen Dongyuan: "..."

"You bastard, just keep pretending!"

"Damn it!"

"I’m telling you, your president definitely likes you. No doubt about it!"

Gu Yizhou: "...-_-||"

"Alright, I don’t have time for this crap!"

"I haven’t even finished my work yet!"

"Gotta go!"

Gu Yizhou said irritably.

Without waiting for Chen Dongyuan to reply, he hung up the phone...
