Mr. Gu?

Is it the one she's thinking of?

Lu Huan had only met Gu Zhendong's driver before, and had never met Kong Xun. She frowned and remained skeptical.

Kong Xun introduced himself, dialed Gu Zhendong's number, exchanged a few words with the person on the other end of the line, and solemnly handed the phone to Lu Huan.

"Ms. Lu, Mr. Gu would like to say a few words to you."

Lu Huan had a question in her mind: what did Mr. Gu's illness have to do with her?

Instead of going to a doctor, he came to her, even though she didn't know how to treat patients.

Hesitantly, he took the phone and said "hello," to which came a low cough from the other end.

The man on the other end sounded unwell; his voice was weak and hoarse.

Lu Huan asked uncertainly, "Mr. Gu?"

"It's me."

"Um, what can I do for you?"

I want to see you.

"??!!"

If Lu Huan had a tail now, it would definitely be all puffed up and sticking up high.

What's wrong with this man?!

He started off with such a sweet and seductive tone, saying he wanted to see her, making it seem like they were lovers who hadn't seen each other for a month or two.

The man's voice, both cool and husky with a hint of asceticism, slowly drifted into her ears, causing her ears, hidden beneath her hair, to turn a deep, almost blood-red.

What kind of outrageous and lewd words are these?

The woman's heart pounded wildly at the man's unspoken words, her eyes sparkled, and her cheeks flushed.

After a second or two of silence, Gu Zhendong realized that his words had been ambiguous.

Fearing that Lu Huan might misunderstand him, he repeated, "I have something important to discuss with you, so I need to see you."

Oh, something happened. I gave her a fright.

Lu Huan awkwardly uttered two "oh" sounds, her smile stiff.

She was just being delusional!

She thought to herself, "We've only met a few times, how could this man say something like that to me?"

She clearly misunderstood!

Lu Huan, Lu Huan, you need to calm down and control yourself. Don't lose control of yourself just because you meet a handsome man.

After silently repeating it to myself, my excited emotions gradually calmed down.

Wait, what was she trying to ask again?

Before answering the phone, her question was perfectly clear, but the man's flirtatious words stirred her heart, causing her mind to go blank for a few seconds. She completely forgot what she was going to ask.

I scratched my head, completely unable to remember what question I wanted to ask.

After a few seconds of silence, she had no choice but to follow Gu Zhendong's lead and ask, "Mr. Gu, is there something important you want to tell me? Can't we talk on the phone?"

They even added each other on WeChat, so they can definitely contact each other via WeChat if needed.

This man even sent his secretary to personally pick her up in his car.

“No, we must talk in person,” Gu Zhendong said decisively.

Lu Huan: ...

Since I don't have classes this afternoon, I might as well go.

I've been busy reading these past few days, and occasionally glancing at handsome men is a treat for both my eyes and my soul.

Lu Huan changed his ways and started studying like a top student, attending classes on time every day and checking in at the library, attracting a lot of attention.

Sure enough, she got into a luxury car and was quickly photographed by a classmate next to her, and the photo was posted on the school forum.

Even though the photo was blurred, some people still recognized her, and it quickly became a trending topic.

Meanwhile, Lu Huan was completely unaware of what was happening. She was sitting in her car texting Yan Shi that she wasn't going to the pet store anymore.

Yan replied to the message quickly, asking her where she was going.

Lu Huan had just typed a word when she suddenly remembered what question she had wanted to ask Gu Zhendong but hadn't asked.

Frustrated, he slapped his thigh, then immediately looked up at Kong Xun and asked curiously, "Is your CEO Gu feeling unwell?"

"Headache." Kong Xun stepped on the gas pedal, paused, and sighed, "This is a recurring problem for President Gu!"

"The same old problem?" Lu Huan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's been many years!"

Lu Huan was even more confused: "Since it's a chronic headache that's lasted for many years, shouldn't you see a doctor? Why did you come to me?"

She's not a doctor, she doesn't know how to treat illnesses.

Kong Xun shook his head: "I don't know either. President Gu instructed me to pick you up."

He was momentarily stunned when he received Gu Zhendong's instructions.

I thought about it all the way, but I still couldn't figure out what my boss's illness had to do with seeing Lu Huan.

Perhaps it's because President Gu has a crush on Lu Huan?

Kong Xun glanced at the woman sitting behind him, thinking that his boss had quite good taste; Miss Lu was not only beautiful, but also very young.

The two of them would look very well-matched if they stood together.

Kong Xun secretly guessed that his boss could distract himself from his headache by looking at Miss Lu, whom he secretly admired.

If Gu Zhendong knew he had such a free-thinking secretary, he would definitely send him to the planning department without hesitation.

Lu Huan looked completely bewildered: "What if I don't want to go?"

Kong Xun was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lu Huan to be unwilling. He remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "This... President Gu only said he would take you to see him."

The implication was that no matter what forceful means were used, Lu Huan had to be brought there.

However, Lu Huan had already boarded the bus, and it was too late to back out now.

Gu Zhendong sat in his office, staring at a mountain of unread emails, his head throbbing even more.

He checked again; listening to Lu Huan's recording didn't work, and neither did speaking over the phone.

Only hearing Lu Huan's voice face-to-face could help alleviate his headache.

Gu Zhendong was not afraid of death. Doctors predicted that he would not live past the age of thirty when he was very young.

His so-called indifference to life and death is more accurately described as his acceptance of his fate.

Dragging this frail body through every day in pain, I'd rather die sooner.

All the doctors concluded that he was suffering from a strange and incurable disease, but Lu Huan's appearance brought him hope.

No one wants to die, and he was no exception.

Gu Zhendong certainly wanted to survive, so how could he not grasp at this lifeline to stay alive?

A sudden, sharp pain surged in my brain, and it felt like there was a wad of cotton stuck in my chest, making it hard to breathe and extremely uncomfortable.

The man's face was slightly pale, and his brow was furrowed.

I tried to talk to Xiao Hao in my mind, so I called out, but there was no response.

After a moment's pause, he remembered that ever since he returned to his body, that damn system had said he had to disappear for a while to upgrade the system.

This upgrade took seven or eight days and I still haven't returned.

Gu Zhendong has not completed his mission in the past few days, and his health has been deteriorating.

I wonder when this broken system will finally be upgraded!

He'd be long dead by now if he relied on this broken system to save his life.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the entrance of the Gu's Building.

Inside the car, Lu Huan glanced at the magnificent building in front of him and asked, "Where is this?"

"This is Mr. Gu's company."

Lu Huan exclaimed in surprise, "...Could this entire building belong to Mr. Gu's company?"

Kong Xun nodded. It turned out that Miss Lu was unaware of her boss's businesses.

He added calmly, "Most of the buildings in this downtown area belong to Mr. Gu."

"What?!"

Most of the high-rise buildings in this area belong to Mr. Gu.

Lu Huan could tell to some extent that the buildings in this area were towering into the clouds, and it was located in the city center, so it was S City's CBD.

Mr. Gu owns half of the businesses here, so he must be incredibly wealthy!

Lu Huan was numb.

We're all human, so why are some people so rich while I'm so poor?

Upon first meeting Mr. Gu, Lu Huan guessed that this man was no ordinary person.

She is good-looking and has great taste in clothing; all the suits she wears are custom-made.

She just hadn't expected Mr. Gu's identity to be so exaggerated, far exceeding her imagination.

Staring wide-eyed at the towering skyscrapers that seemed to stretch endlessly, he swallowed hard in disbelief: "You're not kidding, are you?"

Kong Xun smiled politely: "You'll see later!"

Lu Huan clicked his tongue in amazement. Just who is Mr. Gu?

The parking lot has a private elevator for the president, which goes directly to the top floor.

As the elevator ascended rapidly, Lu Huan stared helplessly at herself in the mirror, her heart pounding noticeably faster.

strangeness!

Why is she so nervous about meeting a handsome and rich man?

He pinched his palms hard with his fingers hanging by his side, repeatedly telling himself that there was no need to be nervous.

All I could hear was the pounding of my own heart, which was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

His gaze was undoubtedly wandering aimlessly, and his mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts.

Let her think about who else in the book is as rich as Chu Jun?

A wealthy person surnamed Gu?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lu Huan's mind, and she looked up in disbelief. "Wait, Mr. Kong, I want to ask you a question."

"Miss Lu, please feel free to ask."

Thinking that Lu Huan's future identity might be extraordinary, Kong Xun's attitude was extremely respectful, and he spoke freely without reservation.

"What's your CEO Gu's name?"

She still doesn't know Mr. Gu's full name!

His surname is Gu, and he's so rich—he's the only one like that in the entire book.

Could it be him?

Lu Huan secretly shook her head in denial, staring at Kong Xun with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Kong Xun looked surprised: "Miss Lu, don't you know President Gu's name?"

"..."

Lu Huan's face darkened. If she knew, would she even need to ask?

Kong Xun rarely used Gu Zhendong's full name in private. He lowered his voice and whispered, "President Gu's name is Gu Zhendong."

"What? His name is Gu Zhendong?!"

With a snap, the taut nerve in my head broke, leaving my mind blank.

It really is him!

Gu Zhendong is the biggest villain in the whole book. He inherited the Gu family business at a young age. He is ruthless and sinister, and many people are quite afraid of him.

His talent and ability far surpassed those of the male protagonist, Chu Jun. Unfortunately, no matter how outstanding a man is, he is destined to be a villain.

This villain was physically weak from childhood and doctors predicted he wouldn't live past thirty.

As Gu Zhendong grew older, his personality became increasingly sinister and perverse.

She despises people who are physically stronger than herself, constantly opposes Chu Jun, and even tries to suppress Ye Sangsang.

The villains were no match for Chu Jun's protagonist aura. Before Zhen Dong could even make a few moves, he was suddenly diagnosed with brain cancer after falling into a coma and urgently needed surgery before the cancer spread.

With a success rate of less than 20%, the Gu family was determined to take a gamble.

Unfortunately, Gu Zhendong died on the operating table during the surgery.

He died a month before his thirtieth birthday.

Lu Huan reviewed everything about this villain in the original book, looking bewildered.

After learning Mr. Gu's true identity, Lu Huan became even more nervous.

I've met Mr. Gu a few times. He always has a cold and aloof demeanor, exuding an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

Looking back now, it's not surprising. He was the main villain in the book, and who knows what terrible things he might do.

The elevator reached the top floor without any obstruction. With a ding-dong, the elevator doors opened before Lu Huan could even react.

Kong Xun stepped out of the elevator first, then turned around and saw that Lu Huan hadn't followed. He raised an eyebrow and reminded her, "Miss Lu?"

Since transmigrating into the book, Lu Huan has never intended to have any entanglements with any of the characters, especially the villains.

Although Gu Zhendong is a villain, he has always maintained a mysterious and low profile due to his poor health and has never appeared in any public occasions.

When describing Gu Zhendong's dealings with Chu Jun, the author only used a few strokes to outline the man's behind-the-scenes tactics.

Gu Zhendong is arguably the most mysterious villain she has ever read in a novel, appearing very rarely.

Not only that, Gu Zhendong in the original book has no romantic storyline. While all the male supporting characters are attracted by the protagonist's halo, Gu Zhendong is the only one who is not.

Logically speaking, the original owner of this body shouldn't have had the chance to meet Gu Zhendong.

Why is it different when it comes to her?

ah!

A flash of inspiration struck her: she must have lost the bet and stopped Gu Zhendong, which triggered a series of butterfly effects.

Lu Huan was filled with regret. She should have known better than to have been tempted by Gu Zhendong's good looks back at the Heaven on Earth and hadn't been so blinded by greed as to confess her feelings and ask for his contact information.

Her first reaction was to run away, as far away as possible.

Villains are all dangerous people, so staying alive is the most important thing.

Standing in the elevator, unable to move, Lu Huan chuckled dryly and looked at Kong Xun: "Um... I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to, I have to go now!"

Kong Xun was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that Lu Huan would come up with such a lame excuse to slip away when they were almost at the door.

He quickly pressed the close button, his mind only focused on escaping as fast as possible.

Kong Xun is a shrewd man; how could he let Lu Huan get away?

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand squeezed in and reopened the doors.

Kong Xun smiled gently: "Miss Lu, since you're already at the door, why don't you meet our CEO Gu first?"

Once she's seen President Gu, my mission is complete. Whether she stays or leaves is none of my business.

On the contrary, if President Gu knew that the person had run away from the door, he would definitely think that the person's work ability was too poor and would just let him pack his bags and leave.

To see Gu Zhendong?

Lu Huan shook her head vigorously: "I really don't have time right now, let's do it another time..."

"Miss Lu, please understand me. If Mr. Gu doesn't see you today, I can forget about keeping my job."

Kong Xun's expression was sincere, and what he said was not an exaggeration at all; now his entire career was in Lu Huan's hands.

"Mr. Gu really has a terrible headache. Miss Lu, could you please do a good deed and help him out?"

"I'm not a doctor. If he has a terrible headache, he should go to the hospital. Why is he coming to me?"

"Maybe Mr. Gu will listen to your advice and go to the hospital?"

"How could that be? I've only met your CEO Gu a few times. How could he possibly listen to what I say!"

Lu Huan shook her head vigorously, and no matter how Kong Xun tried to persuade her, she remained defiant.

Her light brown eyes were filled with wariness towards Kong Xun, fearing that he might suddenly resort to drastic measures.

Kong Xun had his own tough methods, but he dared not use them on Lu Huan.

If Miss Lu holds a significant place in President Gu's heart, and they might even get married in the future, then offending Lu Huan now would be tantamount to offending the future boss's wife.

Lu Huan reached out and grabbed at the elevator door, refusing to come out.

As the two stood at the door, neither willing to back down, the office door suddenly opened.

Gu Zhendong stood at the doorway, his back to the light, making it difficult to see his handsome face clearly for a moment.

Only his eyes, dark and deep, stared coldly at the woman in the elevator.

Lu Huan's heart raced as he stared at her, her nerves tensed even more, and she stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

She unconsciously bit her lower lip; why did he have to appear at this moment?

She didn't even have time to run!

The air was silent for a few seconds. Lu Huan met the man's deep eyes and couldn't help but speak, "Um, I really have something to say..."

Before she could finish her excuse, the man's cold aura swept over her, making her shut her mouth.

Gu Zhendong's gaze fell on Lu Huan's fair face, which was free of makeup. Suddenly, he was reminded of the two days a few days ago when he transformed into the little kitten that Lu Huan had picked up.

For those two days, they were practically inseparable.

Lu Huan would seize any opportunity to pet him, kiss and hug him without any restraint.

His breathing became heavy, and he slowly said, "Come in."

Just those two words extinguished Lu Huan's desire to run away.

The man's voice was slightly low and carried a hint of coldness.

Lu Huan is a voice actor and is quite sensitive to sound.

She has worked with many male voice actors, and each of them has their own unique voice characteristics, Gu Zhendong's being no exception.

By the time Lu Huan realized what was happening, it was too late.

She was already sitting on the sofa in Gu Zhendong's office.

The man's voice was so seductive; he only said two words, and she obediently followed him.

I was so frustrated I could have turned green with anger, my ten fingers tangled together helplessly.

Kong Xun smiled and poured a glass of warm water, saying, "Miss Lu, please enjoy your drink," before leaving the office.

Lu Huan glared resentfully at Kong Xun's retreating figure, secretly thinking that if he hadn't been clinging to the elevator door and preventing her from leaving, she would have left long ago.

In the huge office, only Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong remained.

At this moment, Lu Huan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, holding her water glass but unable to drink a single drop.

Secretly observing the office, just like Gu Zhendong's aloof demeanor, the office exuded a cold atmosphere.

Gu Zhendong sat silently on the opposite sofa, his handsome face expressionless and indifferent.

Lu Huan looked up, secretly glancing at the handsome man in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

Gu Zhendong had poor health since childhood, often stayed in bed to recuperate, and did not often exercise outdoors or get any sun.

He was slightly thin, and his skin had a sickly pale appearance.

However, this does not detract from his good looks. Both his face and the aura he exudes a sense of asceticism.

The author never describes Gu Zhendong's appearance, so readers only know what bad things the villain did, and everything else about Gu Zhendong is blank.

Gu Zhendong is really handsome, the kind of handsome that becomes more and more addictive the more you look at him.

Lu Huan loves beauty, and also likes beautiful things and... people.

As the saying goes, if a villain has good looks, their values ​​will follow suit.

At first, Lu Huan only secretly observed the man's appearance, but the more she looked, the more addicted she became, and she started to openly stare at Gu Zhendong, unable to extricate herself from the man's beauty.

Lu Huan's gaze was so intense that Gu Zhendong couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

Her eyes were now sparkling, which reminded Gu Zhendong of the way she looked at the cat, a gaze that was both intense and passionate.

This made Gu Zhendong somewhat uncomfortable.

She covered her mouth with her hand and coughed twice, reminding Lu Huan not to stare at her too much.

Unfortunately, the person was so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't hear a thing.

She's read the novel, and all her fans are fans of the male and female leads. Whenever the villains cause trouble, they get torn to shreds by the fans.

However, if these readers saw Gu Zhendong's astonished appearance, they would probably feel the same way as I do.

Gu Zhendong frowned, unable to bear Lu Huan's bright, sparkling gaze, which looked at him like she was looking at a cat. He spoke up to remind her, "Have you looked enough?"

Gu Zhendong's voice is so alluring!

Lu Huan admired the man's good looks. His voice was deep and warm, like a gentle breeze caressing her ears, making her feel restless and aroused.

Wait, what did he just say?

Lu Huan snapped back to her senses and met the man's aloof and deep eyes. Realizing she had been caught peeking at him, a blush spread across her fair face, and her cheeks burned.

He hurriedly sat up straight like a primary school student and apologized earnestly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

I just couldn't control myself and glanced at it a few more times.

Gu Zhendong pursed his lips. The woman apologized, but her burning gaze showed no sign of abating; her eyes never left his face.

There's absolutely no sincerity involved.

Gu Zhendong rarely interacted with women, and naturally had never experienced such a direct gaze from a woman before.

This woman practically wanted to glue her eyes to his face; she was still as unreserved as before!

If another man were sitting on her, would she keep staring at him?

The thought of that scene made the man feel somewhat gloomy.

In the past, Gu Zhendong would have kicked the woman who was staring at him out long ago.

Then she thought that Lu Huan was different, and she forcefully suppressed the words in her heart.

After the apology was made, the air was quiet for a few seconds.

Gu Zhendong looked at her strangely, and Lu Huan became restless again, unsure of what to do with her hands. She asked awkwardly, "Um, Mr. Gu, is there something you need from me?"

Sitting like this all the time is just too awkward.

What do you want with Lu Huan?

It was only because his headache was so severe that even medicine wasn't very effective that he thought of her as a good remedy.

Gu Zhendong slowly began to speak, "I would like to ask Miss Lu for a favor."

"Hmm? What kind of help is it that I can offer?"

Lu Huan blinked in confusion, recalling what Kong Xun had said: Gu Zhendong had come to see her because he had a headache and felt unwell.

"Mr. Gu, you don't mean you want me to treat your headache, do you?" Lu Huan quickly waved her hand, looking as if she couldn't do it. She looked up at Gu Zhendong and said sincerely, "I'm just an ordinary student, not a medical student. I can't help you with anything. Mr. Gu, if your headache is really that bad, I suggest you go to the hospital. A doctor's advice is the most professional..."

Lu Huan started talking non-stop, rattling off a long string of words in one breath.

After Lu Huan finished speaking, she realized that Gu Zhendong seemed to have been staring at her the whole time.

She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face. Was there something dirty on her face?

Wait, she doesn't seem to be wearing makeup today!

She stayed up late last night watching a TV series, which caused her to miss her alarm and wake up late this morning. In order not to be late for school, she simply put on some sunscreen and went out.

Does she look less attractive now? Are those dark circles under her eyes from staying up late?

Women all love beauty, and she certainly doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of a handsome man.

Little did he know that every word Lu Huan spoke was a relief for Gu Zhendong.

Listening to her speak at length made my breathing much easier, and even my headache lessened.

This really is his best medicine.

"I don't want to go to the hospital."

well!

She said that Gu Zhendong would never listen to her advice, but Kong Xun didn't believe her!

"But this pain can't go on forever!"

We already have this excellent remedy.

Gu Zhendong pinched the bridge of his nose, and listening to her melodious and clear voice, the pent-up frustration in his chest dissipated. "It's just a slight headache, nothing serious."

"Really?" Lu Huan stared at him with a hint of disbelief. "Then why did Secretary Kong tell me that you had a terrible headache, Mr. Gu?"

"He's exaggerating."

Gu Zhendong's complexion did look much better now, not at all as pale and weak as before.

Lu Huan had experienced headaches before, a side effect of working late into the night. Her head would feel like it was exploding all day, which was really unpleasant.

Lu Huan bit her lip. "Mr. Gu, what brings you here?"

Surely he doesn't actually want to see her?

Thinking of that phone call earlier, Lu Huan's ears burned slightly, and her light-colored eyes glistened with tears.

Gu Zhendong raised his hand to rub his temples, swallowing back what he was about to say.

His original plan was to make a deal with Lu Huan.

I investigated Lu Huan's background and learned that she had been madly in love with Chu Jun for many years, and her biggest dream was to marry Chu Jun.

It's purely a mutually beneficial arrangement; he can ensure Lu Huan's smooth marriage to Chu Jun.

But now, gazing into Lu Huan's watery eyes, he swallowed hard and changed his mind.

With his thin lips slightly parted, the man slowly said, "I want to make a deal with you."

After hearing this, Lu Huan was stunned for a moment, then pointed at him with a blank look in her eyes.

"A deal, between us?"

What can they possibly trade?

Businessmen are always successful, and capitalists like Gu Zhendong are no exception.

Lu Huan really couldn't imagine what benefits Gu Zhendong could gain from her.

Gu Zhendong hummed in agreement, his throat slightly sore. He loosened his tie, met Lu Huan's puzzled gaze, and said, "I'd like to hire you as my secretary."

"..."

She must have heard right, she was Gu Zhendong's secretary.

Lu Huan remained silent for a while, then gave a dry laugh: "Mr. Gu, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"No, I'm serious." Gu Zhendong's expression was extremely earnest.

"But I haven't graduated yet, and besides, my major isn't in public administration, so it's not suitable for this job..."

Lu Huan frowned and rationally analyzed the situation with Gu Zhendong. The man could tell that she was unwilling, so he added, "You can name your salary, any amount is fine."

"..."

Wow, are they really determined to hire her as their secretary?

As expected of someone who owns most of the CBD business, that's how they speak so boldly.

He can just casually offer her a salary. If she wants a million a month, will he give it to her?

Despite the thought, Lu Huan had no intention of becoming Gu Zhendong's secretary. She politely declined, saying, "I have no work experience and cannot be your secretary. I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."

Gu Zhendong's purpose was not that; he just wanted to keep Lu Huan under his watchful eye at all times.

Gu Zhendong said, "If you have any other requests, you can mention them all at once. As long as they're not too unreasonable, I can fulfill them for you."

"..."

To be Gu Zhendong's secretary, even without a high level of education, one must be shrewd, adept at social interaction, and able to calmly handle urgent and important matters independently, etc.

She felt she didn't have the skills and couldn't be a secretary.

Lu Huan found Gu Zhendong strange. There are so many capable people in the world, why did he choose her?

"Mr. Gu, may I ask you a question?"

The man looked at her, his phoenix eyes dark and deep. After he nodded slightly, Lu Huan asked, "Mr. Gu, you are so insistent on having me as your secretary. May I ask, what is your reason?"

Without any reason, this is simply too strange.

Gu Zhendong pursed his lips and remained silent, seemingly unwilling to answer the question.

The fact that Lu Huan's voice could cure his strange illness was known only to him and his attending physician.

Lu Huan didn't press the matter. "If you don't want to say, that's fine. But I'm sorry, I'm not very interested in being your secretary."

Although being a secretary pays well, it's not her hobby; she still wants to continue voice acting.

Gu Zhendong's dark eyes deepened. "Your voice is very pleasant to hear."

"What?"

The man spoke so softly that Lu Huan almost thought she had misheard.

Gu Zhendong actually said her voice was nice. Was he complimenting her?

While Lu Huan looked on in astonishment, Gu Zhendong said clearly, word by word, "I really like your voice."

He couldn't even live without her voice.

As a voice actor, the greatest joy is when others like my voice.

Lu Huan was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that Gu Zhendong in the original book had no romantic storyline. She had thought that he was a heartless and indifferent person.

Unexpectedly, the villainous boss said he liked her voice.

Lu Huan used to have many fans who would say to her face with admiration that they liked her voice.

But never before has it stirred such a surge of excitement within me.

Lu Huan stared at Gu Zhendong's beautiful face; it must be because of his face.

It's all because he's too beautiful. He came right off the bat saying he liked her voice. That's just too much!

Lu Huan secretly pinched her fingers, repeatedly telling herself to stay calm and not to let Gu Zhendong's good looks cloud her judgment.

Gu Zhendong said he likes your voice, not you as a person. Don't get excited, stay calm and composed!

Her brain was thinking this, but her little heart was completely out of control.

At this moment, Lu Huan wished she could recite a calming mantra to soothe her emotions.

What this man said was absolutely outrageous.

Lu Huan shyly tossed her long hair, her eyes slightly upturned, and said, "Thank you."

"So, would you like to be my secretary?"

"..."

The man gazed intently at her, and her unwavering focus almost made her give a reluctant "yes."

Fortunately, she still retained a sliver of rationality. She secretly pinched her thigh again, and the pain traveled from the nerve endings to her brain, making her consciousness a little clearer.

Lu Huan politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry."

Admittedly, the conditions offered by Gu Zhendong were very tempting, and many people would probably be willing to be her secretary.

But she really didn't have that idea.

The man's eyes dimmed, a hint of disappointment flashing across them.

Lu Huan sincerely suggested to him, "Mr. Gu, your requirements are very high. I believe there are other people with even better voices who would be willing to be your secretary."

Gu Zhendong stared at Lu Huan with a meaningful look in his eyes.

There are indeed many people with pleasant voices. He has met all sorts of people, but only her voice has a therapeutic effect on him.

Gu Zhendong didn't force her, after all, Lu Huan was his best medicine, and if he used coercive methods, it would only make the girl want to run away.

Lowering his eyes, his thick black eyelashes concealing the gloom in his eyes, Gu Zhendong said calmly, "It's alright. If you change your mind, you're always welcome here."

The fact that the villainous boss didn't insist surprised Lu Huan somewhat.

In the novel, he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

It seems he's not as scary as I imagined.

Lu Huan's fear subsided, and she gave Gu Zhendong a bright smile.

"Then I..."

"Can you do me a favor?"

Just because the man is good-looking, she would do anything for him, not just one favor, but a hundred!

"Mr. Gu, please just say the word. As long as it's within my power."

Gu Zhendong picked up an agreement from his desk and handed it to her: "Read this agreement to me."

"..."

Another agreement!

Lu Huan's face darkened. He glanced at the dense black text on the document and felt a sharp pain in his head. "This... isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, this is your company's confidential document. How can an outsider like me look at it? Mr. Gu, you should look at it yourself."

This person really treats her like an emotionless reading tool!

Last time I read the agreement to him in the car, my throat felt so sore and painful.

Gu Zhendong seemed to be thinking about something, and then made an excuse, "I have a bit of a headache, so I can't read the article."

? ? ?

Is there any necessary connection between having a headache and reading an agreement?

Could it be that your head is hurting so badly that it's pressing on your optic nerve, causing your eyes to be in poor condition?

Gu Zhendong said, "I won't let you study for free; I can give you money."

Lu Huan is currently a penniless man with only seven hundred yuan to his name, but his eyes light up at the mention of money.

"Mr. Gu, how much are you offering?"

"I'll give you ten thousand after you finish reading this one."

Ten thousand yuan?

Lu Huan's eyes lit up even more.

In the early stages of her voice acting career, she was paid very little. She only earned two or three thousand yuan for a script that was nearly 10,000 words long. She also had to split the earnings 50/50 with the studio, so she received even less money.

Lu Huan flipped through the agreement; it was a page and a half long, totaling less than three thousand words.

No wonder he's a man who owns most of the CBD building; he's so generous.

"Then you've made a promise, no backing out!"

Lu Huan: I'm so happy! I earned 10,000 yuan from my husband today. I'm a little rich now!

Author's Note: I've written 12,000 words today, and I'm completely exhausted. Goodnight everyone!
