"Haha, too bad that I've already taken you, my precious cabbage." Cheng Qicai laughed and mocked herself.
Gu Rongqi said in a low voice, "Don't describe it randomly."
He didn't think either of them was more noble.
"Hehe, this is just me joking. I shouldn't call you by your name, I should call you Dad Gu... no, even my dad isn't as serious as you sometimes."
Gu Rongqi looked at her helplessly and picked up a piece of roast goose for her, saying, "Don't say anything more."
Seeing his speechless expression every time, Cheng Qicai felt like she was going to die laughing at him.
I feel so accomplished!
Cheng Qicai wasn't going to let him off the hook. "So what? If you don't want me to call you 'Dad,' what should I call you, little brother?"
She called out "little brother" in a charming and seductive voice.
Gu Rongqi paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still, his eyes filled with indulgence, "Seven colors..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a ringing bell.
Cheng Qicai saw the video call on his desktop; it was from Gu Liji.
She watched as Gu Rongqi answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Gu Liji's plaintive voice rang out, "Brother, where are you?"
Gu Rongqi's voice turned cold. "What is it?"
"I can't take it anymore..."
Hearing his weak voice, Cheng Qicai curiously sat down next to Gu Rongqi and leaned against him to watch Gu Liji in the video. "Brother Gu, why do you look like you've been drained of your life force by a ghost? Your face is so pale."
Looking at the culprit, the source of his pain, Gu Liji gritted his teeth in hatred. "You, Cheng Qicai, I used to treat you so well, but you stole my brother away, and now I have to work at Ouqi every day. I'm exhausted."
Looking at his background, Cheng Qicai realized that he did indeed appear to be in an office.
She said with a hint of schadenfreude, "But Gu Rongqi used to go to work like this every day, and he never felt tired. What does that mean? It means that you're too incompetent, Brother Gu, and you need to practice more."
"..." Upon hearing Cheng Qicai's words, Gu Liji's eyes turned like poisonous thorns, wishing he could poison her to death in the next second.
Cheng Qicai lazily leaned against Gu Rongqi; she was no longer the same person she used to be.
Gu Liji's little threat was nothing to her; she had powerful backers.
Seeing the two people cuddling together, and the restaurant behind them, Gu Liji felt even more resentful.
While he toiled like a slave at the company, the two of them enjoyed a candlelight dinner at a restaurant.
When has this ever been my own life?
He couldn't understand how he had fallen to this state...
After Gu Rongqi and Gu Lubo had a fight last time, he left gracefully. During the argument, his words "I can train Liji" easily pushed him into a fire pit.
After Gu Rongqi left, Gu Lubo angrily swept everything on the table onto the floor. The things fell to the ground with a clatter, and he wished he were invisible or a cloud of air.
He deeply regretted following Gu Rongqi in.
If he hadn't been so gossipy, he probably wouldn't have acted that way.
Regret was useless; he had already cowered like a quail, and the furious Gu Lubo directly ordered him, "Liji, come to Ouqi tomorrow and assist me in handling company affairs."
Upon hearing this, his eyes went black and black again, and he almost fainted on the spot.
He was already afraid of them and didn't like working. Now he had to stay with them in Ouqi every day. What could be more desperate than this?
Even though he was extremely unwilling, he didn't want to provoke Gulubo at this moment.
This has led to the current situation where I go to work at Ouqi every day, get yelled at by Gu Lubo, and then have to work overtime to handle the work.
He was fed up with this cycle of life, which is why he called Gu Rongqi.
As a result, he received a barrage of ridicule from Cheng Qicai.
She used to call him "Brother Gu" so obsequiously, but now that she's risen in status, she's started to mock him.
She's heartless; she doesn't even consider who's bearing the burden for them.
He ignored Cheng Qicai and just looked at Gu Rongqi, "Brother, think of something! If this keeps up, I'm going to die..."
Gu Rongqi looked at him and said slowly, "You have the ability. My dad will train you for a while, and you'll gradually get the hang of it. It won't be so tiring later on."
"..." Gu Liji's face turned ashen after hearing this. Gu Rongqi's meaning was very clear: he simply didn't care about his life or death.
"Hehe..." Cheng Qicai couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.
How dare she laugh at me! It's all her fault!!! Gu Liji is now extremely resentful of Cheng Qicai. If looks could kill Cheng Qicai, she would probably be ashes by now.
Cheng Qicai glared back defiantly.
"Alright," Gu Rongqi said, putting his arm around Cheng Qicai. "We're still eating. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
His hand was on the hang-up button.
"Brother Gu looks terrible!" Despite the joke earlier, Cheng Qicai was still a little worried when she saw Gu Liji's condition.
Gu Rongqi looked down into her eyes, "But I was like that when I first joined the company."
"Was it very tough for you back then?"
Cheng Qicai wondered if Gu Rongqi, who was about her age, would also be as overworked as Gu Liji is now, since he was already handling company affairs.
