Cheng Qicai was lost in thought when Wu Jieyu nudged her shoulder, raised an eyebrow at her lewdly, and grinned mischievously.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Qicai retorted forcefully, refusing to back down.
Wu Jieyu grinned and asked furtively, "Does your CEO Gu have feelings for you?"
Cheng Qicai looked at her strangely, "Where did you get this misconception from?"
"While we were eating hot pot, I saw the two of you whispering intimately to each other, but you didn't spare me a single glance."
Cheng Qicai immediately started cursing, "Wu Jieyu, have you lost your mind from dating so much? You're so love-struck that you see everyone else in a relationship."
She never even considered the possibility of them dating. Given their vastly different social statuses, Cheng Qicai knew without even thinking that it was impossible.
"No, look, you opened the window and he told you not to catch a cold. You mentioned your boyfriend in the car and his attitude instantly turned cold. If this isn't love, what is it?"
"No way..." Seeing Wu Jieyu's confident words, she couldn't help but follow her train of thought for a moment, and then realized that she had been led astray by her.
She exhaled and quickly denied it, "No, Gu Rongqi just has the air of an elder, always giving the feeling of a parent trying to control you."
Wu Jieyu didn't believe it. "How could that not be? Why doesn't he treat me like that?"
Cheng Qicai rolled her eyes at her. "Isn't that because he doesn't know you? If he treats strangers like this, he shouldn't be called a capitalist, but a philanthropist. He treats his brother, the one who came in later, the same way."
"No, based on my intuition, he's at least 70-80% interested in you, if not 100%."
Cheng Qicai didn't know how Wu Jieyu derived the probability she mentioned, but she heard her follow-up sentence, "I think that peacock who came in later and the rich heiress are probably having an affair...they were exchanging glances..."
Cheng Qicai spat out the water she had drunk with a "pfft".
"You're disgusting..." Wu Jieyu turned to the side to avoid her, looking at her with disgust.
Cheng Qicai's myriad words were reduced to just one sentence: "You... really have a vivid imagination."
She really shouldn't have believed Wu Jieyu's nonsense even a little bit. What could she expect from someone who had liked Huang Mao since childhood?
Moreover, Gu Liji and Qin Biyu weren't exchanging glances; they were clearly two wicked scoundrels who had met.
With eyesight so poor, Wu Jieyu should see an ophthalmologist.
Seeing Cheng Qicai enter the room, Wu Jieyu, unwilling to give up, chased after her and asked, "Hey, what are you thinking?"
"What do you mean, what were you thinking?" Cheng Qicai asked, folding her clothes.
"He likes you."
“It’s impossible,” Cheng Qicai said firmly, looking at her with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and then sighed, “You know, people like them are too far removed from us, it’s simply impossible.”
"And..." Cheng Qicai paused, "we can't compete with those with high IQs. From any perspective, we have no chance, understand?"
Wu Jieyu hesitated, knowing that Cheng Qicai's previous relationship had indeed hurt her, and then stopped speaking.
Cheng Qicai didn't want to talk about this topic, so she changed the subject: "By the way, what did you and Lu Yuliang talk about?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask about their school's postgraduate entrance exam," Wu Jieyu said, her voice brightening. "I told him I felt I did pretty well on the preliminary exam, and he gave me a lot of advice on things to note for the re-examination."
"Really? Then congratulations in advance on passing the exam."
Wu Jieyu, however, restrained herself and said, "Don't open the champagne halfway through. My preliminary test results haven't come out yet. If I don't pass, it will be a huge embarrassment."
"Relax, didn't you do your best? Besides, if you don't pass the exam, you can just go back to work. There are many ways to get there."
After playing for two days, Wu Jieyu said she had to go back, so Cheng Qicai took her to the station.
“Sigh, the next time we meet will be during the Chinese New Year. You’ll be coming back for the New Year, right?” Wu Jieyu said to her.
Cheng Qicai nodded, "Yes, I want to go back and see my grandparents."
"That's good." Wu Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief. "If you hadn't come back, I would have missed out on a lot of fun during the New Year."
Cheng Qicai reiterated, "They will come back. Now go in."
“Okay,” Wu Jieyu walked to the gate, as if he had thought of something, and said with certainty, “I think that President Gu probably likes you a little!”
Seeing that she was still bringing it up, Cheng Qicai couldn't bear it any longer and pushed her inside, coldly saying, "Goodbye, don't bother seeing me out."
She even analyzed that she shouldn't have failed in her own love life, liking this person today and that person tomorrow.
...
The temperature in City A suddenly plummeted, and the already cold weather became bone-chilling.
Cheng Qicai now rides her electric scooter to work dressed like a bear, so bundled up that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her, just to keep out the cold wind.
In particular, the male and female leads can often be seen driving to and from get off work affectionately every morning.
At this time of year, Cheng Qicai felt the wind blowing even colder, making this single woman feel utterly dejected.
For her, who has no one to hold her hand, hug her, or wrap her clothes tightly around herself, that's the real business for this single dog.
Since Gu Liji started working hard, her workload has also increased, with the company receiving several orders in quick succession.
"Lin Fengjie, go and contact General Manager Sun." Gu Liji turned to Cheng Qicai, "Qicai, you'll come with me to General Manager Li's place to sign the contract later."
“Okay, Mr. Gu.” Cheng Qicai nodded in response.
Cheng Qicai returned to her office, carefully placed the contracts to be signed and the stamps to be affixed into her bag.
