Chapter 13 The Bird Flies Away
Gu Chenzhou's gaze froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He raised his chin slightly to signal Special Assistant Chen to put down the contract.
There was no mention of that strange glowing sphere.
With just a moment's thought, he knew that it was something created by a time traveler.
So he continued working as usual.
1551 had no idea that he had been discovered.
Even though he knew that others couldn't see or hear him, he still stayed quietly beside Special Assistant Chen out of courtesy while he started reporting on his work.
After saying everything that needed to be said, Special Assistant Chen nodded decisively and turned away.
Gu Chenzhou glanced upwards, and the veins on the hand holding the pen became more obvious.
The ball of light did not leave with his special assistant, but stayed in his office.
Gu Chenzhou: “…”
After a moment of silence, the man continued to sign.
1551 floated around curiously and began to walk around this office dominated by black and white.
But this office is too monotonous. The only places with different colors are an abstract painting hanging on the wall and the green plants for decoration.
1551 tried to see some life in this office, but couldn't even find a soft pillow.
It was even colder than the male protagonist's room he had seen before.
Although he did not stop working, Gu Chenzhou was actually observing the ball of light with his peripheral vision.
Soon, some of his stupid and clumsy behavior was discovered.
For example, he would bump around everywhere and then slowly fall onto the sofa to rest when he got dizzy, or he would try to squeeze himself into the gap under the cabinet.
Unfortunately, he was not a cat and could not change his round body. He tried for a long time but failed.
There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Gu Chenzhou put down his pen without changing his expression, making a slight noise.
Sure enough, it successfully attracted the small thing that was sticking to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party "can't see", 1551 floated beside Gu Chenzhou almost sticking to his body.
After looking at the obscure form for a while, he dizzily shifted his gaze to the small cake placed aside.
1551 moved closer to the small cake and sniffed it secretly. The sweet aroma of cream mixed with the unique smell of cocoa powder hit me in the face.
He couldn't help but slurp.
In the somewhat empty office, this sound was very hard to ignore.
Now the familiarity turned into certainty.
Gu Chenzhou's eyebrows twitched, and the muscle lines under his haute couture suit tensed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
This ball of light...is actually that small system?
1551 didn't realize he was being recognized. He stared at the small cake and muttered, "Why isn't the male lead eating it yet?"
A smile suddenly appeared in Gu Chenzhou's eyes.
The hidden resentment in my heart disappeared without a trace because of this familiar clear voice.
Little bird, fly back.
1551 turned around to look at the male protagonist, and after discovering that he really "couldn't hear", he became braver again.
He flew in front of Gu Chenzhou and got very close to his face: "Just take a bite, take a bite."
There is an unconscious soft ending tone, which sounds like she is acting coquettishly.
In fact, he was just greedy and too curious about the taste of the cake.
Gu Chenzhou refused to touch the cake. He picked up the black coffee on the table and took a sip. He looked calm and composed, completely unaffected by the temptation.
In fact, I have been observing the little guy's next move.
He looked at the ball of light and found it adorable, but at the same time, a trace of regret flashed through his mind.
This is what the system looks like.
Listening to the lively and energetic voice of the boy, he once thought that if 1551 had a physical body, it might look similar to humans, and he couldn't help but be curious about what he looked like.
I didn't expect it to be a round ball.
This slight regret was quickly forgotten by him. Gu Chenzhou stood up with a hint of teasing, raised his wrist to check his watch and said, "It's time to go to the meeting."
He picked up his phone and clicked on the voicemail: "Send someone to clean up the office and just throw away the cake on the table."
1551 was shocked: "Lost it??"
He looked at the delicious little cake and then at the man.
"But it looks really delicious..." 1551's voice sounded aggrieved.
Gu Chenzhou raised the corners of his lips slightly, then walked out with his long legs, deliberately leaving the door a crack.
Thinking it was left for the cleanup staff, 1551 had no doubt at all. He followed it a few steps forward, then rushed back, staring at the small cake without taking his eyes off it.
"Poor little cake, you're going to be thrown away before you even take a bite." 1551 showed a very distressed expression, "But I can't touch you yet."
He lowered his voice, trying to imitate the tone of some domineering CEOs he had seen before.
1551 looked at the little cake with a "deeply affectionate" gaze: "I'm leaving, goodbye."
He took two steps forward again, then retreated at lightning speed.
Just take a bite, he'll take a bite!
Just wanted to try and see if the cream is really that sweet!
You won't be noticed if you lick it.
The semi-physical entity he finally possessed.
Fifteen minutes later...
Gu Chenzhou, who was holding a meeting with others, noticed 1551 who came back happily.
1551 rubbed against him and floated obediently.
Like a cub with no bad intentions at all.
Although he looked unchanged, Gu Chenzhou could sense his satisfaction, and his originally serious expression softened a little.
A supervisor who was reporting on his work was a little scared at first, but he relaxed a lot after seeing this.
I didn't expect that when I relaxed, I slipped up and said the wrong thing.
The supervisor shuddered: "That's not what I meant..."
1551 couldn't help but: "Burp."
After reacting, the whole ball suddenly felt embarrassed, and the warm light on its body actually turned slightly pink.
In order to avoid suspicion, he relied on his strong willpower to eat only half of the cake, but he didn't expect that he ate too fast and still burped.
He eats secretly and burps.
1551I want to find a gap for myself.
"Oh."
A light sigh was heard, and the conference room fell silent.
Several supervisors who had a good relationship with each other looked at each other in surprise and exchanged glances.
[Mr. Gu is in a good mood today?]
[Is there something good happening?]
[Old Zhu got off easy. The data he reported today was a mess... and no one mentioned this.]
Their eyes almost took off, everyone was shocked.
You really can't blame them for making a fuss.
You should know that Gu Chenzhou is famous for his stable and low-key emotions, and he always maintains a calm and composed attitude when discussing things.
I won't show them whether I'm in a good mood or a bad mood.
Now it was obvious to everyone that he was in a particularly good mood today.
Gu Chenzhou raised his eyebrows and tapped the table with his fingers: "Continue."
Manager Zhu quickly took advantage of this opportunity to report all the terrible projects under his command.
Gu Chenzhou gave advice, and his expression could even be described as warm.
The atmosphere was very good until the end of the meeting.
The gossipy spirits of the supervisors were almost burning fiercely.
But no one dared to show it, and they could only exchange glances until they left the meeting room.
1551 finally stopped looking pink, and he stuck to Gu Chenzhou like a little tail.
Seeing him get up and leave, I quickly followed him.
No matter where the male protagonist goes, he follows.
Gu Chenzhou's mood became better.
This good mood lasted until the moment I saw Su He.
Su He came over with a document in his hand and a flawless smile: "Mr. Gu, this is the plan sent by the advertising department on the second floor."
As soon as 1551 saw his host, he immediately became nervous.
He lingered and left Gu Chenzhou's side, floating to Su He's side: "Host."
Su He naturally ignored him and smiled even more brightly at Gu Chenzhou.
Watching his little tail leave and return to this disgusting time traveler, Gu Chenzhou's eyes seemed to flash with coldness, and he took the documents handed to him by Su He with a slightly frown.
Su He: "I wonder if today's cake suits your taste?"
He seemed to have finally mustered up the courage, and his face turned red as he finished speaking.
Little do they know that such hypocritical behavior is very clumsy in the eyes of men.
Gu Chenzhou: "Anything else?"
He didn't give a direct answer.
On the contrary, 1551 couldn't help but savor it and wanted to say for him that the cake was very delicious.
However, if the host knew that he had eaten the cake, he would definitely be the target of anger, so he shrank back and decided not to speak.
Su He: "If you don't mind, I can bring you some homemade dessert tomorrow."
Manager Zhu, who happened to be passing by at this time, accidentally heard these words. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, compressed his presence to the minimum, and pricked up his ears wildly.
What is even more unbelievable is that Gu Chenzhou did not refuse, but chose to nod.
The two people did not continue to communicate. Gu Chenzhou nodded and left.
But when he thought about the man's good mood during the meeting, Manager Zhu felt as if he had discovered some incredible news.
After the man walked away, he suddenly walked over and forced a smile at Su He with a wrinkled face: "Hello, are you the new assistant?"
Su He felt proud inside.
He really enjoyed the admiring gazes from others.
"Yes, I am Mr. Gu's new assistant." He deliberately emphasized the three words "Mr. Gu".
Manager Zhu: "Have you and Mr. Gu known each other before?"
The only previous encounter was the not-so-pleasant kidnapping.
In order to satisfy his vanity, Su He immediately pretended to be embarrassed: "Boss Gu and I did know each other before, but now it's just... a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates."
The more you deny, the more it seems like you are trying to cover up but reveal yourself.
Manager Zhu immediately showed an understanding expression and took out his phone: "Let's add WeChat so that we can communicate in the future."
Su He: "Okay."
…
Inside the office.
Gu Chenzhou's mood was not as happy as they thought. Instead, he frowned, raised his hand to look at his watch from time to time, frequently looked towards the door, and tapped the table with his fingers.
His little tail didn't follow.
After seeing Su He, 1551 followed him.
The little bird flew away again.
