Shen Beitang, whom Gu Zhun described as "vicious-hearted," struggled to his feet, supporting his back.
As usual, Gu Zhun covered the bottle of water inside his clothes, while Bai Ling leaned shyly against him, the two of them being very affectionate.
It seems I really have become the villainous female supporting character who ruins relationships and interferes in others' lives.
"where are you going?"
Gu Zhun grabbed Shen Beitang, who was walking out, and asked in an unfriendly tone.
Shen Beitang was baffled. Wouldn't it be better to leave and give the two of them room to do their thing?
"Why can't I leave? Do you have some kind of special fetish that you need someone to watch you when you're being affectionate?"
Gu Zhun threw a pile of documents in front of her, like a superior giving orders.
"You're still my secretary, aren't you? You haven't done anything and you want to leave?"
Shen Beitang originally wanted to just leave, but then she remembered that her graduation certificate still needed Gu Zhun's internship signature.
Anyway, it's only the time it takes to have three periods, so I can just grit my teeth and get through it.
She picked up the documents on the table and glanced at them briefly; they were all minor matters concerning the branch offices and the group.
Logically speaking, these are trivial matters that shouldn't be handled by the president's secretary; they should be directly distributed to various departments below.
Now all of this is piling up in my hands, clearly a case of them setting me up.
"Okay, I'll get it for you tomorrow after I've finished processing it."
"today."
Gu Zhun pointed to the clock on the wall, "And I have to see it before I leave work."
Ha, it seems they really are after me.
Even if the work is distributed to various departments and would take a whole day to complete, they are required to finish it in 6 hours.
"Brother Zhun, let me help Sister Tangtang with this."
Bai Ling said she would help, but she didn't move away from Gu Zhun's side at all.
Gu Zhun scoffed, "Some people are just born to be busy. Let her do it."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Tangtang."
Bai Ling took the flower tea from Gu Zhun's arms, took a small sip, and closed her eyes in blissful contentment.
"Brother Zhun is really amazing, hot flower tea tastes even better."
Shen Beitang had no interest in watching Bai Ling's tea ceremony performance and turned to look at Gu Zhun.
"If I finish processing the documents before I leave work today, please stamp my internship certificate with the school's seal."
Gu Zhun raised an eyebrow. "We'll see."
...
For the first time, Shen Beitang directly experienced how wicked Gu Zhun's character was in the original book.
The document covers a wide range of areas, and the data alone requires the cooperation of multiple departments.
Fortunately, Nanxi had a good impression of her and sent someone to give her all the data she needed, which saved her a lot of time.
"Brother Zhun, let's go eat, I'm hungry."
Bai Ling is always good at being clever; every move she makes is carefully designed.
Shen Beitang even suspected that Bai Ling had taken a training course on her bangs, as she exuded acting skills.
Gu Zhun looked at the obedient girl in front of him, feeling physically inclined to get close to her, but his heart remained completely unmoved.
Her hand, which was about to stroke her hair, froze in mid-air.
Following the direction of the glass door, one could see Shen Beitang's figure with his head down.
Her long hair was casually tied back with a pen, leaving only a few strands fluttering around her cheeks.
Gu Zhun was itching to help her by the arm around her arm; it seemed this was one of Shen Beitang's usual methods for seducing men.
"Huh? Brother Zhun, what are you looking at?"
Bai Ling followed Gu Zhun's gaze and saw Shen Beitang's office.
"Brother Zhun, let's go quickly."
Bai Ling turned around and stood in front of Gu Zhun, making him change direction so that he was facing away from the office.
Gu Zhun hummed in agreement and let Bai Ling pull him along.
Shen Beitang's mind was full of work. The fewer things he could be held back by, the more freedom he would have.
Linda couldn't stand it anymore, and taking advantage of Gu Zhun's absence, she asked, "Miss Chen, let me help you. Mr. Gu has really gone too far this time."
Shen Beitang looked up from the document. "Thank you, Linda. I'm almost finished."
Given Gu Zhun's shrewd nature, how could he not have discovered who had done the work?
To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to work harder yourself.
"I really don't know what's wrong with President Gu today. He was so doting on me before..."
Linda noticed that Shen Beitang's expression was off and quickly covered her mouth.
Shen Beitang didn't blame him; he just smiled and continued with his work.
The system explained it very clearly yesterday.
It turns out that what Gu Zhun said and did was because of a bug in the system.
The Gu Zhun of today is the real Gu Zhun.
Shen Beitang laughed self-deprecatingly, so...
The person who got himself into this mess wasn't Gu Zhun at all; it was just a facade disguised as Gu Zhun.
If I know it's an illusion, then why does my heart hurt so much, as if it's being squeezed tightly, and even my breathing feels bitter?
It seems I really should find my place.
...
"Brother Zhun, you have excellent taste."
Bai Ling carried her newly bought rare leather bag in her hand, making sure the logo side faced outwards.
"I'm glad you like it; it's just a bag."
Gu Zhun said calmly, but his eyes couldn't help but look towards the glass room.
Linda served as Gu Zhun's secretary for five years, and she could understand him with just a glance.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Shen didn't eat anything at noon, and she looks unwell."
Gu Zhun frowned slightly and subtly withdrew his gaze.
"Really? What does that have to do with me?"
"Brother Zhun, I didn't expect your secretary to have to worry about Sister Tangtang's affairs. It must be exhausting."
Bai Ling walked over and pushed Linda aside, her tone full of warning.
"Mr. Gu, I just..."
Bai Ling's reputation was well-known; even Linda had heard of it. It's hard to understand what President Gu liked about her.
"Stop talking, Linda, you're definitely meddling a bit too much."
Gu Zhun's warning tone made Linda's hair stand on end.
He withdrew from the room amidst Bai Ling's smug gaze.
You haven't eaten? You don't look well...
Linda's casual words took root in Gu Zhun's heart.
"Is the work finished?"
Gu Zhun walked into the glass room as if possessed.
"Almost there, but almost there." Shen Beitang looked up.
"Don't forget what you promised me in the first place."
What did you promise?
So Shen Beitang obediently completed the work in order to get the stamp so he could leave his company as soon as possible?
Gu Zhun noticed that her eyes no longer held the initial expectation for him, and had become somewhat cold.
This made Gu Zhun very unhappy. It was like a puppy that used to fawn over him suddenly having a new owner.
"Ha, what did I promise you? I don't remember."
"You're going back on your word."
Gu Zhun originally had some principles, but now he's been wiped out by the system.
Not only did she become love-struck, but her moral standards also plummeted to the East African Rift Valley.
