Chapter 27 Come Over

The next day, Assistant Yin waited for Gu Heng to arrive at the company at 8:30. Gu Heng was as usual, neither a minute early nor a minute late.

Assistant Yin didn't sleep well all night, her mind filled with thoughts of whether her boss was about to encounter some romantic trouble. She even dreamt that Gu Heng was on the front page of the news, the theme being that he was caught in a honey trap and had all his wealth swindled away. A once-elite business tycoon had ended up picking up trash on the street.

Assistant Yin was awakened by the nightmare, and then he tossed and turned and couldn't fall back asleep. As a result, his wife kicked him out of bed in the middle of the night and made him sleep on the sofa outside.

Assistant Yin quickly moved closer to Gu Heng and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, has your friend's problem been resolved?"

Gu Heng glanced at Assistant Yin, then stepped into the elevator, saying in a calm tone, "It's almost resolved."

Assistant Yin followed him into the elevator. He pressed the floor button, but he couldn't understand what "almost resolved" meant.

Given Gu Heng's style, shouldn't he resolutely say "no" to all kinds of demons and monsters? Or is it that Gu Heng is getting old and has really reached the point of being indiscriminate in his choices?

Otherwise, how could he not see that the scheming woman was deliberately trying to entice him?

Assistant Yin recalled the phone call Chen Wanrou had made to him not long ago, asking him to help persuade Gu Heng to go on a blind date. At the time, Assistant Yin thought that having President Gu go on a blind date was less reliable than a collision between Mars and Earth.

But now, Assistant Yin secretly glanced at Gu Heng again, and he felt that Gu Heng should probably find a girlfriend.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a girl rushed over, shouting, "Wait!"

The elevator doors reopened, and a pretty and cute girl stood at the elevator door, blocking the door from closing. Unlike her cute little face, her eyes were glaring angrily at the people inside the elevator.

Assistant Yin recognized him; this was the same person who had tripped and fallen while holding a coffee before.

Looking at Gu Heng's expression, which remained unchanged, it was likely that he had long forgotten who this woman, whom he had only met once, was.

It's rush hour, and nobody dares to arrive later than the boss. So when they saw a brave woman daring to stop the boss, the people in the lobby who weren't feeling very energetic because of work suddenly became interested.

Assistant Yin smiled politely and reminded her, "Ms. Lu, you are no longer an employee of our company."

Lu Xiaoman had received a dismissal notice before, and she came today to go through the final procedure to receive her severance pay. Since joining the company, she, an intern from a prestigious university, had only been given the job of serving tea and water.

It didn't matter if the people in the company looked down on her; even if it was just menial tasks like serving tea and water, she would do her best. She couldn't understand why she was suddenly fired. Someone had given her a tip that she had offended someone above her and was specifically named by that person to be fired.

Lu Xiaoman later looked through the company's profile and saw Gu Heng's photo. Only then did she realize that she had seen this man before. She had only almost bumped into him by accident. Did he have to hold such a grudge?

Lu Xiaoman glared at Gu Heng, her eyes revealing an unyielding stubbornness. "So what if you're the boss of this company? I got into this company through my own abilities. Just because I don't flatter like others and because I don't have any connections, does that mean you can fire me at will?"

Those around gasped. This woman was truly ethereal and unconventional, but she was simply... terribly foolish!

Isn't what she said just stating the obvious?

Gu Heng is the boss; he can fire whoever he wants!

Gu Heng frowned slightly. He was usually a reserved and taciturn person who rarely showed his emotions, but now his displeasure was palpable to almost everyone.

Despite being somewhat afraid, the woman named Lu Xiaoman still bravely said, "Perhaps in the eyes of you rich people, the fate of us ordinary people is entirely up to you. But I just want to tell you, even if I am not as rich as you, I am definitely not a puppet that you can summon and dismiss at will!"

The hall was completely silent.

The receptionist's eyes suddenly lit up. "Wait a minute, this plot seems familiar?"

She quickly took out her phone, opened a reading app, found the novel she was halfway through reading on her bookshelf, flipped through it, and sure enough, she found the plot where the innocent female lead gets fired by the domineering CEO.

Just like Lu Xiaoman, the innocent female lead stood tall and unyielding in front of the domineering CEO. The CEO was initially angry, but then gave a wicked smile, "Interesting. No woman has ever dared to speak to me like this before."

So the female lead wasn't fired; instead, she became the CEO's personal assistant, constantly enduring his "torture."

The book is titled "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me: A Billionaire's Beloved Wife - Buy One Get One Free".

Lu Xiaoman was very principled. She looked directly at Gu Heng, like a plum blossom braving the cold and frost in the snow, steadfast and unyielding.

Just as the performance was reaching its climax, a slurping sound rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Today, Chu Xiang wore her hair in a bun, a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a cat print, and denim shorts with minimal fabric, revealing her waistline. Her long, straight legs were very fair, and she wore white sneakers, looking youthful and beautiful.

She stood in the lobby, holding a nearly empty cup of milk tea. Perhaps she was too engrossed in watching the show, because she didn't realize that she was almost finished with her milk tea. The sound of biting the straw made her a little embarrassed.

Meeting Gu Heng's gaze, she stiffly forced a smile, which didn't look natural.

Gu Heng slightly lowered his gaze and finally spoke, "Assistant Yin, I don't think this Ms. Lu is qualified for any job. Please remind our company's partners that I don't think a company that allows its employees to participate in the company's development is a worthwhile business partner."

Assistant Yin nodded, "I understand."

Lu Xiaoman looked blank. It took her a while to realize that Gu Heng's words meant that it would be difficult for her to work for big companies in the future, and smaller companies would be even less willing to hire her.

She shouted angrily, "Gu Heng, you're abusing your power!"

Nobody paid any attention to her.

Assistant Yin sent someone to call security.

Gu Heng looked at Chu Xiang, softened his voice, and said, "Come here."

Some people cast curious glances at Chu Xiang, wondering what her relationship was to Gu Heng. However, most people, seeing that the young girl was pretty, guessed that she might be a relative of the boss.
