Chapter 60: Group 3’s Strongest "Fastest Gun" — Gu Yizhou

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Group 3’s Strongest "Fastest Gun" — Gu Yizhou

"You two are so in sync, you even talk at the same time. Old Gu, why don’t you just give in and go for it with Sisi!"

When he saw they weren’t talking, He Mingyi continued.

"..."

Gu Yizhou was speechless once again, but this time, Song Sisi wasn’t.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she stole a glance at Gu Yizhou. Seeing that he wasn’t angry, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, Mingyi, you punk, stop talking nonsense!"

Gu Yizhou said with a helpless look, "Be careful, or Sisi’s brother might actually come and beat you up!"

He really couldn’t figure it out. Why was this damn He Mingyi always trying to play matchmaker for him?

’This guy probably got into the wrong line of work!’

’If he went into the matchmaking business, with that mouth of his, he’d probably be a huge success!’

Gu Yizhou thought irritably.

When He Mingyi heard Gu Yizhou’s words, the thought of that 200-kilogram muscleman made him shiver uncontrollably.

’Oh, right!’

’I keep forgetting about that!’

"Ahem..."

He faked a couple of coughs and said awkwardly, "Um... just kidding, just kidding. Don’t take it seriously, hehehe..."

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly, didn’t say anything more, and turned to get back to his own work.

At that, Song Sisi couldn’t help but shoot He Mingyi a "vicious" glare before walking away as well.

Chen Yuqi, who was standing nearby, didn’t say anything either and turned back to her work.

Leaving only He Mingyi standing there, looking awkward.

"It was just a joke, was it really that serious..."

He muttered to himself before returning to his workstation to start his tasks.

For a moment, the office fell silent again, with only the CLACK CLACK CLACK of fingers on keyboards.

Everyone was busy with their own work. They had no choice, because after today’s meeting, everyone’s workload was several times larger than usual.

Although in Gu Yizhou’s opinion, a lot of the work was just pointless busywork, the higher-ups had demanded it, so those at the bottom could only obediently comply.

This is why people often say: one word from the top sends those at the bottom scrambling.

「In the CEO’s office.」

Yan Luoxi was sitting in her executive chair reviewing documents. Without looking up, she spoke to her assistant, Bai Jie, who was standing before her. "Assistant Bai, have you looked into the matter I asked you about?"

Her tone was flat, yet it carried a coldness that kept people at a distance.

Bai Jie had been with her for several years and was already used to her attitude and tone.

She stood before Yan Luoxi and spoke respectfully, "President Yan, I’ve finished the investigation. There is indeed a major event at Modu University of Finance and Economics recently. Their 70th anniversary celebration will be held next Friday evening."

"Hm?"

Hearing this, the movement of Yan Luoxi’s hands paused slightly.

"Continue,"

she said faintly.

"Modu University of Finance and Economics is placing great importance on this 70th anniversary gala. They’ve invited elites from all sectors and alumni to attend. Our company received an invitation from the university some time ago, but because you usually don’t care for such events, President Yan, the staff below didn’t report it."

Bai Jie said slowly.

"Mm."

Yan Luoxi nodded, her tone flat. "Is the invitation still here?"

"Yes, President Yan."

Bai Jie said respectfully, "This is the invitation sent by Modu University of Finance and Economics."

As she spoke, she placed an exquisite invitation on Yan Luoxi’s desk.

"Alright, I understand,"

Yan Luoxi said after glancing at the invitation.

After speaking, she went back to reviewing her documents.

Bai Jie didn’t speak. She stood in place for another moment before asking softly, "President Yan, do you have any other instructions?"

"No, you can get back to your work."

Yan Luoxi waved her hand at her.

"Understood, President Yan!"

Bai Jie nodded respectfully.

With that, she turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Just then, Yan Luoxi seemed to think of something and called her back.

Bai Jie, who had already turned, paused. She quickly turned back to face her president and asked respectfully, "President Yan, do you have any other instructions?"

"Yes."

Yan Luoxi pondered for a moment before speaking, "On behalf of Tidal Group, donate one million in funds to Modu University of Finance and Economics for their anniversary celebration."

Bai Jie was slightly taken aback but didn’t overthink it.

She nodded and said, "Understood, President Yan. I’ll handle it right away."

"Mm... go on."

Yan Luoxi waved her hand again.

Seeing this, Bai Jie said no more and immediately turned to get busy.

After she left, Yan Luoxi finally stopped what she was doing. After a moment’s thought, she picked up the invitation on her desk and glanced at it.

She muttered to herself, "No wonder that damn man was talking about rehearsal last weekend. So this is why..."

...

「Afternoon, six o’clock.」

"Phew..."

Gu Yizhou stopped typing, leaned back in his chair, and let out a deep breath.

He glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of his computer screen and muttered to himself, "Safe and sound, another day done. Six o’clock, 200 in the bag! Er... wait, no, it’s 300 in the bag now!"

The workload today was indeed quite large. A task he could usually finish in a single morning took him until just before quitting time today.

But at least he still managed to finish it!

And he was already considered fast!

After all, He Mingyi and Song Sisi hadn’t even finished two-thirds of their work yet!

Ctrl+S. After saving the file and sending it to Leader Chen Dong’s email, Gu Yizhou prepared to clock out and leave.

If you’re not eager to clock out, you’ve got a screw loose!

"Uh... Old Gu, you finished your report?"

He Mingyi, seeing Gu Yizhou packing up and shutting down his computer, asked in surprise.

The moment he said this, Song Sisi, Chen Yuqi, and the others in the office couldn’t help but turn to look in Gu Yizhou’s direction.

"Yep!"

Gu Yizhou nodded. "Just finished. I already sent it to Leader Chen’s email."

"*Hiss...*"

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

They had barely finished two-thirds of their work, yet Gu Yizhou had already completed all of it!

This...

There was simply no comparison!

"Old Gu, you really live up to your name as Group Three’s best ’quickdraw’!

Holy crap, you’re seriously fast!!!" He Mingyi said with a look of mock despair.

Gu Yizhou was utterly speechless.

His face darkened. He shot He Mingyi a glare and snapped, "Old He, you punk, don’t think I don’t realize you’re taking a jab at me!"

The women nearby finally caught on, and their faces couldn’t help but flush slightly.

"*Pfft!*"

"Pervert!"

Gu Yizhou’s number one fan, Song Sisi, couldn’t help but glare at He Mingyi and snap irritably.
