"I never expected that you would break my promotion record from back then."
Nanxi carefully handed the formal employment report to Shen Beitang.
Shen Beitang opened the official employment certificate with a smile, but the smile immediately froze on her face.
"Director Nan, I'm currently a member of the Business Development Department. Shouldn't I be working in the Business Development Department after I'm officially hired? Why am I now the president's secretary?"
"This job competition is for the CEO's secretary, didn't you know?"
Seeing how hard Shen Beitang was working, Nanxi originally thought that she was trying to seize the opportunity to return to Gu Zhun's side.
Why do you look so unhappy...?
...
As everyone was celebrating Shen Beitang's promotion, a person dressed entirely in black and wearing a hat blended into the crowd.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he grabbed Shen Beitang's neck from behind and pressed a knife against it.
"Lin Xiaojun, are you crazy?"
During the struggle, the thug's hat fell off, revealing Lin Xiaojun.
Her once innocent eyes had become cloudy and murky, and Lin Xiaojun's hands trembled uncontrollably due to her tense state of mind.
The already sharp blade left a bloody mark on Shen Beitang's fair and delicate neck.
"I'm insane, I'm insane."
Lin Xiaojun looked at her colleagues, with whom she had spent five years, and now they all seemed repulsive.
He's always smiling at me, but all I did was steal a small business plan.
To negate the hard work of the previous five years shows that as long as you're good-looking, everything can be forgiven.
"Shen Beitang, I'm going to destroy the things you like right now."
As she spoke, Lin Xiaojun looked at her face with a sickly gaze, running the tip of the knife across it, finally stopping above her eyes.
"Gu Zhun, you have a crush on Gu Zhun."
Shen Beitang's confident tone made Lin Xiaojun pause.
If she had moved just 5 millimeters further forward, her eyes would have been ruined.
"Unrequited love? If it weren't for you, Gu Zhun's fiancée would definitely be mine!"
Lin Xiaojun's tone was excited, but her hand tightened around Shen Beitang's neck, making it difficult for Shen Beitang to breathe.
"With your surgically enhanced face? You think you can be Gu Zhun's fiancée? You're dreaming. You should take a look; your nose is crooked."
"My nose, my nose!"
Lin Xiaojun frantically touched her face, checking for any injuries.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Beitang snatched the knife from Lin Xiaojun's hand, bit her hard, and escaped.
"You bitch! You dare lie to me!"
Lin Xiaojun realized she had been tricked and wanted to go up and teach Shen Beitang a lesson, but she suddenly stopped when she saw what Shen Beitang was holding.
Shen Beitang was holding a wooden photo frame, the same one that Lin Xiaojun had always kept on the table.
"You don't want your photos anymore?"
Shen Beitang slowly opened the photo frame, and the photos inside fluttered and fell to the ground.
"Oops, I accidentally stepped on it."
The kick landed squarely on Gu Zhun's face.
Lin Xiaojun went completely mad when she saw it, crawling on the ground trying to pick up the photo.
"You can't treat my husband like this! Give him back my husband!"
Shen Beitang took a step back and held the photo in his hand before Lin Xiaojun arrived.
"Honey, I've never called you that before. Besides, does Gu Zhun even know you're his wife?"
This was also the first time Shen Beitang had seen the full picture of the photo.
Gu Zhun, who was standing to the side, was carefully cut out and pasted next to Lin Xiaojun.
"Furthermore, should I call you Lin Fan or Lin Xiaojun?"
Shen Beitang looked at the photo and asked a question about the face that was completely different from her current one.
Lin Xiaojun collapsed to the ground, clutching her head, muttering, "I am Lin Xiaojun, not Lin Fan, I am Lin Xiaojun..."
A colleague who was nearby saw the photo and gasped in surprise.
"Lin Xiaojun used to be so ugly, but now she looks quite pretty."
"I'm even thinking of asking her for the phone number of the plastic surgery hospital."
"Looking like that, she still has the nerve to have a crush on President Gu? I think she's crazy!"
"..."
Lin Xiaojun heard words that sounded exactly like those from her school days, all saying she was delusional and disgusting.
Suddenly looking up, she glared fiercely at Shen Beitang: "It's all your fault! You took everything from me!"
Unexpectedly, she had a hairpin in her hair, which she thrust straight at Shen Beitang.
As the object was about to reach him, Shen Beitang subconsciously closed his eyes.
A muffled groan was heard.
She felt a few drops of warm liquid fall onto her face.
"Are you alright?"
Gu Zhun looked Shen Beitang up and down, who was still stunned, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no wounds.
"Ugh, you never give me a moment's peace. Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Shen Beitang, however, disregarded everything else and nervously held Gu Zhun's hand.
He was so anxious that he became incoherent, completely losing his composure from before.
"Come on, let's go see a doctor quickly!"
"It's nothing, just a minor scrape. I'm just worried sick."
Gu Zhun still had the mind to tease her, which meant he really only had a minor scratch.
Shen Beitang pointed at Lin Xiaojun, who was already stunned, and said, "Isn't this all the trouble you caused with your romantic entanglements?"
From beginning to end, Gu Zhun never glanced at Lin Xiaojun once; his entire focus was on Shen Beitang.
"I caused this, but you're quite the smooth talker."
"Look, there are photos as proof. Don't you recognize me?"
Shen Beitang pointed to Lin Fan, who hadn't had plastic surgery yet, and said, "She was in the same class as you back then."
"This is……"
Gu Zhun saw that his image had been cut out of the photo and pasted next to someone else's.
He immediately tore the photo into tiny pieces and threw them on the ground.
"I don't want to recall those disgusting things."
After saying that, he put his arm around Shen Beitang and walked away, then instructed the security guards to prosecute Lin Fan for intentional assault.
Lin Fan picked up the torn photos from the ground and, with a silly grin, found the fragments of Gu Zhun's photo.
"Gu Zhun spoke to me! Hahaha, he spoke to me! Gu Zhun really does love me, he really loves me..."
——
In fact, Shen Beitang had already become suspicious when he saw the photos at Anhui University.
Everything could be called a coincidence, but in the end, the suspicious points were found in Professor Li Huai.
Of all the graduation photos, only in this one is Li Huai not wearing glasses.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to learn about Gu Zhun, they half-coaxed and half-tricked Li Huai into telling them what happened back then.
Lin Fan is a girl from the countryside, and Li Huai has been sponsoring her schooling since high school.
Who knew that during her postgraduate studies, she would meet Gu Zhun, and from then on, there was no stopping her.
The next purpose of the study was to collect Gu Zhun's various personal belongings.
She keeps used tissues, pens, and discarded paper cups by her bedside every day.
He was eventually captured by Gu Zhun's bodyguards and discovered when they went to his dormitory.
Lin Fan filled every corner of his dormitory with photos that Gu Zhun had secretly taken from various angles, and even made them into life-size dolls.
There was even a packet of sleeping pills hidden in a secret cabinet...
Fortunately, Li Huai pleaded for her, and Gu Zhun finally agreed to let her go.
But in the end, something happened that even Li Huai couldn't accept.
Lin Fan kept asking him for money under the pretense of buying school supplies.
But in the end, he used the money donated by Li Huai to have plastic surgery, get a new ID card, and hide in the Gu family.
Waiting, waiting, Gu Zhun discovered her.
