Chapter 33 The Gathering



Lately, for some reason, Gu Liji seems to be acting like a good boss, coming to the company every day to handle work diligently.

This made it difficult for Cheng Qicai to openly slack off.

Cheng Qicai had just returned from delivering documents to the purchasing department on the second floor when someone grabbed her shoulder from behind.

Cheng Qicai was startled and turned around to see that it was Gu Liji.

"Mr. Gu, why did you scare me? My heart almost stopped." Cheng Qicai patted her chest, still shaken.

"You're just taking it too seriously," Gu Liji tilted his head innocently. "Interested in playing together tonight?"

"Mr. Gu, I'm a respectable person!" Cheng Qicai placed the folder in front of her as if facing a formidable enemy, looking at Gu Liji warily.

"What are you thinking? I'm a decent person too, okay?"

Gu Liji retorted, but seeing Cheng Qicai's clearly distrustful look, he awkwardly touched his nose, "It's a gathering of friends, they all brought female companions."

"So?!" What does this have to do with her?

"Why don't you come with me? It would be so awkward if I didn't have a female companion."

"Brother Gu, are you kidding? It's easy for you to want a female companion." Cheng Qicai didn't understand. "Besides, I don't understand the ways of your social circles."

"Hey! You can't talk bad about me like that in front of your sister! I promised your sister I would take relationships seriously and study company affairs." Gu Liji smiled, his eyes looking very determined.

Cheng Qicai finally understood why Gu Liji had been so diligent lately.

The power of love is amazing! If it weren't for the need to steal someone else's partner.

Seeing that Cheng Qicai was still hesitating, Gu Liji raised his stakes, "I'll treat it as overtime pay, okay?"

“Okay,” Cheng Qicai nodded immediately, afraid that Gu Liji would change his mind, “I’ll go wherever you say, Brother Gu.”

Gu Liji was amused by her, "No, I mean, Qicai, are you not even pretending anymore? Your personality is completely different from Su Ni's."

Cheng Qicai nodded and honestly admitted, "I'm rather superficial."

The heroine's kindness and beauty have absolutely nothing to do with a vulgar person like her, okay? It's a fool not to make money when you can.

The benefit of agreeing to Gu Liji's request was that she would not only receive extra pay, but also be able to leave work early.

Under Lin Fengjie's envious, jealous, and hateful gaze, Cheng Qicai proudly packed her belongings, looking smug.

Gu Liji frowned as he looked at her, who was wrapped up like a bear, and casually threw a designer bag in front of her. "Pack yourself up, don't embarrass me."

Cheng Qicai took a look and found some cosmetics, a white rose-print long dress, and a pair of high heels in the same color.

After changing her clothes, Cheng Qicai went to the parking lot, found Gu Liji's car, and quickly climbed into the passenger seat.

Gu Liji turned his head and asked, "Why are you still wearing this outfit?"

Cheng Qicai complained, "Brother Gu, don't you even look at the weather? Will the clothes you gave me last until we reach our destination?"

Damn it, it's late autumn now!

She went to the restroom and unfolded her skirt to find that it was actually a tank top. She rummaged through the bag for a long time before finally pulling out a cardigan.

Before I could even finish feeling smug, I put it on and went outside. A gust of cold wind hit me, and the sweater I was wearing looked like a sieve at home—it looked dense, but it leaked everywhere.

She was so cold that her teeth were chattering, so she quickly took out her coat from the bag and put it on, which made her feel a little better.

Gu Liji touched his nose and muttered under his breath, "The girls were dressed like this before, and they said they weren't cold!"

Cheng Qicai: "..."

Upon arrival at their destination, a clubhouse, the staff at the entrance led them to their room.

There were a lot of men and women in the room, roughly seven or eight.

There was a beautiful woman in a red miniskirt singing a song while holding up a microphone in front of her.

Cheng Qicai looked around the room. Although the beauties were dressed in different styles, they were all dressed rather lightly.

No wonder Guliji said those things in the car.

"Hey, Young Master Gu is here! What a rare treat!" A man with hair trimmed like a lawn was casually crossing his legs as he watched them enter.

Another man with a black gemstone in his ear slapped his thigh. "Bai Bo, is it easy for you to see Young Master Gu now? He's reformed and is going to turn over a new leaf."

"Ha ha……"

His words drew laughter from the others.

"Luo Quan, you have the worst mouth!" Gu Liji pretended to hit him.

One of them, a blond guy, was eating grapes that a pretty girl next to him had peeled. He nudged another girl next to him and said, "Go, keep Gu Shao company."

"No, Zhou Bi, you should keep the beauty for yourself." Gu Liji waved his hand and put his arm around Cheng Qicai's shoulder. "I have a female companion."

"Come on, be punished for being late with a cup of wine."

"Exactly, he should be punished with three cups."

...

Gu Liji didn't hesitate, picked up the wine glass on the table, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The crowd cheered.

Looking at the wine bottle in the middle of the table, Gu Liji asked, "Are you guys playing Truth or Dare?"

“Yeah, it’s so busy, Gu Shao…” Bai Bo complained.

Cheng Qicai silently watched Gu Liji play a few rounds. She was having bad luck today, and it was her turn to win several times.

She stared at the spinning bottle, watching it slowly come to a stop, and her heart jumped.

Help! She didn't want to be chosen, because if she chose Truth or Dare, she would not only have to answer provocative questions but also drink a glass of wine, while choosing Truth or Dare would result in an intimate punishment.

Both sides are shit, only the truth is a slightly better pile of shit.

Money is hard to earn, and life is hard to swallow; right now, I'm in a situation no worse than eating shit.

Her face was slightly flushed from drinking several glasses of wine.

The wine bottle stopped on the beautiful woman next to her, and Cheng Qicai breathed a sigh of relief.

"A grand adventure..."

"A grand adventure..."

Everyone shouted in unison, and the beautiful woman, not wanting to spoil the fun, immediately chose dare.

"Let's have a long French kiss with Young Master Luo, 3 minutes only~"

Upon hearing the details of the dare, the beautiful woman leveled up immediately. She tossed her long, wavy hair, straddled Luo Quan's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned down.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

That's why Cheng Qicai never chooses dares or truths; they're not on the same wavelength, not on the same wavelength at all...

Just as the beautiful woman and Luo Quan were getting intimate, the door to the room was opened.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the room fell silent instantly, and Luo Quan quickly pushed away the woman on top of him.

After a moment of silence, shouts of "Brother Gu" rang out one after another. The once unrestrained and arrogant playboys now became as quiet as chickens, like students being inspected by their homeroom teacher.

Gu Rongqi was different from the rest of them. Everyone had been compared to him by their parents. He was obedient, smart, and capable—the perfect child for everyone else.

After growing up, he took over the family business and took it to the next level.

Although he appears gentle and polite, Gu Rongqi's personality and demeanor are more like those of his parents or elders at home.
