In the morning, I would find a secluded spot outside the school and keep doing my homework.
Therefore, Cheng Qicai felt that Gu Rongqi's situation was not a big problem.
"Haha..." Cheng Qicai laughed awkwardly, "Then it seems your parents have it pretty easy."
Who wouldn't want a son who's been obedient since childhood?
But Gu Rongqi said, "Probably not."
"Huh? How could that not be? You're not..."
"People's desires are getting bigger and bigger. I can't guarantee that I will always make things easy for them. Maybe I will disagree with them in the future and they will even break off relations with me."
Gu Rongqi suddenly turned his head and looked at Cheng Qicai seriously.
Staring at her with that kind of gaze, Cheng Qicai suddenly felt a prickling sensation on her face, and she couldn't help but touch it.
But I was still surprised by the seriousness of his words. "Huh? Didn't you say you didn't care about their arrangements?"
"Yes, but I have something I want, and even if they disagree, I will stick to my own ideas." Gu Rongqi said this with absolute certainty and seriousness.
It's like making a promise or guarantee.
"Really..." Cheng Qicai was startled by his tone and unconsciously gave a weak smile.
"Do you think what I said was a bit too much?" Gu Rongqi asked her again.
Cheng Qicai always felt that there was an unspeakable meaning in Gu Rongqi's eyes.
She carefully considered her words and thought for a moment before saying, "It's alright, um... it's just that you've been obedient to your parents for so long, and this is the only thing you want, and they still won't let you have it. That's a bit unreasonable."
Cheng Qicai concluded: "At least live for yourself once."
"That's good." Gu Rongqi said softly without looking at her.
What's so good about it? Cheng Qicai was completely confused.
As she was pondering, Ren Baiping turned around and called out to her, "Seven Colors!"
This interrupted Cheng Qicai's thoughts. She looked up and replied, "What?"
"Wang Mai has some questions for you," Ren Baiping said, pointing to the short-haired girl in front of him.
She stopped and waited for Cheng Qicai and the others to come up. Standing next to Cheng Qicai, she asked, "I heard from Ren Baiping that you're already at work?"
Cheng Qicai nodded, "Yes, I've been working here for almost a year now."
"So this handsome guy is working too?" Wang Mai looked at Gu Rongqi. "Are you colleagues?"
Cheng Qicai didn't know how to answer this question, so she looked at Gu Rongqi.
"Yes!" Gu Rong nodded.
"Oh..." Wang Mai drawled, "I'll be starting my internship soon too. I wanted to ask how your company is? Are you still hiring?"
Gu Rongqi looked at Cheng Qicai, who was unsure about the question and answered honestly, "Not at the moment, but there might be campus recruitment during the summer vacation."
"Is that so!" Wang Mai's voice was somewhat excited. "Will they come to our school to recruit people?"
"I don't know, I'm not familiar with the recruitment process."
"Oh," Wang Mai said casually, then asked, "So what do you do at the company?"
“I’m more like a secretary,” Cheng Qicai glanced at Gu Rongqi, “and Gu Rongqi is more like a manager.”
Gu Rongqi didn't want to admit that he was the boss, and she didn't want to expose him.
Wang Mai's voice suddenly became excited, "Since you're in management, will you be involved in this area? Can I add you on WeChat? You can let me know when your company is hiring."
Wang Mai blinked her eyes, as if she were about to create a gentle breeze.
Cheng Qicai looked at her suspiciously, thinking that she had ulterior motives.
Gu Rongqi smiled politely at her, "I'm sorry, recruiting people is not my responsibility, so I can't help you with the notification."
"Alright then." Wang Mai put away her phone dejectedly, then asked, "I heard Ren Baiping came to see you guys at five o'clock. Your company's benefits must be pretty good, right?"
"Yes, it's pretty good."
"What about the company atmosphere?"
"That's fine too."
"I'm a little curious about the secretary position. I heard that you can know a lot of gossip about the boss, is that true?" Wang Mai asked excitedly. "Is it true that in TV dramas, big bosses have many lovers?"
Cheng Qicai: "..."
Cheng Qicai glanced at Gu Rongqi before looking away. "No, our boss is fine."
Even if she did, with the boss right there, she couldn't possibly tell the truth, could she? She still has professional ethics.
"That……"
“Wang Mai, Zhou Feng just called you.” Ren Baiping turned around and interrupted her.
"Oh, okay." Wang Mai nodded. "Do you want us to go to the front and chat? We feel a bit embarrassed that you've been staying in the back."
Cheng Qicai smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Although the girl kept saying "you guys," her eyes were always fixed on Gu Rongqi.
Cheng Qicai was now absolutely certain of her earlier thought: handsome men really do have no shortage of suitors!
After walking for so long, the eight of them had become quite separated; the faster ones were in the front group, and the slower ones were in the back group.
They were counted in the group that walked the slowest.
Ren Baiping stopped and apologized to Gu Rongqi and Cheng Qicai, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Wang Mai meant that."
"It's nothing." Cheng Qicai laughed and joked with Gu Rongqi, "This just shows that Gu Rongqi is too charming."
Cheng Qicai thought to herself, "It seems that changing into a more youthful outfit makes me much more approachable. If I had been dressed in that serious outfit before, I doubt any girl would have dared to approach me."
"Is that what you think?" Gu Rongqi asked, looking into Cheng Qicai's eyes.
Cheng Qicai paused for a moment, looked away from Gu Rongqi's eyes, and raised her voice, saying, "Of course!"
