After a busy morning, Gu Yiming returned to his office and looked at the bracelet on the table. Feeling a bit annoyed, he decided not to give it to Jiang Hua, since Xu Xiaoxiao had already touched it.
Seeing the lunchbox on the table, his secretary came over and promptly informed Gu Yiming, "President, your driver just delivered your lunch. He said he just needed to let you know."
"Okay, I understand. You can go now." At this moment, he looked at the lunchbox on the table and the bracelet he had placed there. He felt a little irritated and didn't intend to give the bracelet to Jiang Hua anymore.
After the secretary left, Gu Yiming felt a little disappointed because he wondered why Jiang Hua hadn't brought him the lunch. He felt conflicted, thinking, "If only Jiang Hua had brought this lunch, I would have devoured it right away!"
Ultimately, it was because Jiang Hua was recently pregnant that Gu Yiming became much more lively. He often felt happy and did things that he would never normally do, just like Jiang Hua, like a big boy.
"Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I was the one who told her not to go out and 'stir things up,' so why do I still want her to come and bring me food? She's really making things complicated for me." Gu Yiming composed himself, and his previously tired mind was once again filled with passion for his work.
At this moment, Gu Yiming picked up the bracelet, looked it over, and said with little interest, "Forget it, let's just leave it here for now. There's no rush to give it as a gift."
Similarly, Gu Yiming was unaware that his actions would bring him disaster, while Jiang Hua was now happily waiting for him to send her away.
When Xu Xiaoxiao came out of Gu Yiming's private elevator that day, naturally some people saw this scene, so the comments started to appear unintentionally. When she passed by the tea room, Xu Xiaoxiao heard everything clearly.
"I wonder how far Gu Yiming and Xu Xiaoxiao have progressed. It's unbelievable that he allows her to ride in his private elevator!" The employees whispered among themselves. Xu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and even felt quite proud.
Another employee didn't answer immediately, clearly taking a sip of the tea she had poured herself first. "Looks like she's not far from being promoted. She's even managed to get Gu Yiming's special favor, allowing her to ride in his private elevator. Looks like there's going to be some good drama in the company soon."
"What do you mean? I don't understand at all. How can there be any good show to watch? Maybe they're just playing around." The person who first raised the issue found it unbelievable that there would be any good show to watch.
After hearing the sound of a cup being put down, Xu Xiaoxiao heard the person say, "Are you stupid? Which successful man these days isn't a womanizer? Which one doesn't have affairs outside? As the saying goes, the wildflowers outside are always the most tempting."
Hearing their discussion, Xu Xiaoxiao stopped her steps as she was about to go inside to get water. She wanted to listen carefully to see what they were talking about.
"Who cares? Anyway, there are plenty of mistresses around the boss these days. Maybe she's already joined that group, or maybe she's already taken over, but she's just keeping it a secret from everyone." This employee seemed to have a hint of disdain for Xu Xiaoxiao, perhaps out of jealousy.
Then a burst of laughter came from the tea room. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be very angry about talking about them. But Xu Xiaoxiao, who was hiding outside, was extremely happy to hear others gossiping about Gu Yiming and herself.
"Alright, alright, instead of wasting your time gossiping, you should get back to work. You might even get a raise and a promotion." With that, the two gossipy employees seemed to want to leave Xu Xiaoxiao and hide even further away.
Another employee chimed in, just like a gossipy woman on the street, "We're certainly not destined to be mistresses. Look at us, how could Gu Yiming possibly be interested in us?" The employee sighed helplessly, seemingly also interested in Gu Yiming.
At this moment, another voice came out, which made Xu Xiaoxiao extremely happy. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to attract attention at the company, Xu Xiaoxiao would have already cheered and declared herself the next president.
"Of course, there's also an opportunity right in front of you now: to curry favor with Xu Xiaoxiao. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll probably become Gu Yiming's favorite." At this point, the employee had already started to think about this completely unrelated matter.
One of the slightly older employees couldn't resist gossiping, "If you really want a quick promotion, then you should try to curry favor with her." The employees were still discussing it enthusiastically, but they didn't dare to spread the rumors too wildly.
The discussion in the break room made Jiang Hua very happy, and she felt that what these people were saying wasn't impossible, so she didn't mind at all. Xu Xiaoxiao had always had a slight crush on Gu Yiming, but she hadn't said it because of her status.
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel happy, silently thinking to herself, "These people usually seem like they don't like anyone at all, but they're right about one thing. If they keep talking like this and it gets out, wouldn't that be even worse?"
Relying on her status, Xu Xiaoxiao was even more certain that Gu Yiming would treat her differently. Having overheard everything while passing by, Xu Xiaoxiao, carrying the compiled documents, prepared to meet Gu Yiming.
And she cheered herself up, "Of course they're looked down on by Gu Yiming. Otherwise, they'd be delusional; they wouldn't even be worthy of carrying Gu Yiming's shoes!"
"Knock knock knock," Xu Xiaoxiao knocked on the door, concealing her excitement. Gu Yiming quickly allowed her to enter.
"President, this is the newly compiled data. I'll put it here for you." Xu Xiaoxiao said, placing the data next to Gu Yiming. Gu Yiming didn't look up, still busy with his work. "Okay, you can put it there. I'll look at it in a bit."
Xu Xiaoxiao did not leave immediately, because she inadvertently saw the original packaging box of the bracelet again and wondered why it had not been given away yet.
So, taking advantage of Gu Yiming's slightly special attitude towards her, she asked, "Isn't this the necklace you brought this morning? Why is it still here? Didn't you give it to the person you wanted to give it to? Or have you been too busy to have someone deliver it?"
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's eager inquiry, Gu Yiming felt a little uncomfortable. It was because of her touch that Gu Yiming hadn't given her the chain in time.
