Ye Lichuan has been unable to eat or sleep lately. Ever since he saw Gu Anran's refreshing side that day, he has been unable to forget it.
Gu Anran sensed something was off as soon as she arrived at the company. Just as she sat down, she heard her manager call her, "Gu Anran, come to my office."
She was unaware that someone had begun to scheming against her.
Gu Anran knocked on the office door, puzzled, and heard, "Come in."
The manager adjusted his glasses and said seriously, "Xiao Gu, please sit down."
"You've been doing quite well lately, but there's a problem with this design you've given."
"Take a look here, is the size wrong?"
Gu Anran picked up the manuscript in disbelief and looked at it, saying in confusion, "This shouldn't be the case. I wouldn't make such a basic mistake."
The manager patiently explained, "It's because you made the most basic mistake that I got a scolding from the CEO, and he asked you to come to his office after you came to work."
The manager's "you'd better watch yourself" expression made Gu Anran feel guilty.
She tried hard to recall the design process, but even with a headache, she couldn't remember it. She'd been quite busy lately; could it be that she hadn't paid attention?
Gu Anran apologized sheepishly, "Manager, I'm so sorry, I made a mistake and dragged you into this."
The manager smiled sheepishly and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'll be more careful next time."
He silently wiped the sweat from his brow and said to her, "You'd better go to the CEO's office right away."
Gu Anran gave a stiff smile and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand."
Gu Anran went out, and the manager stood up, pulled back the barrier to look outside, patted his chest guiltily, and muttered to himself, "One really shouldn't have a guilty conscience."
Even now, I still feel completely bewildered.
He received a call from the CEO early in the morning.
He needed to come up with a reason to get Gu Anran to go to his office to find him.
What's going on here...?
Could it be... that he just thought of something? He immediately cut off the call.
He wanted to live a few more years; in short, he just needed to treat Gu Anran better in the future.
Gu Anran returned to her seat and thought about it repeatedly, but she couldn't remember what it was like at the time.
She was uneasy, unsure whether to approach that icy figure in the office; even from two meters away, she felt a chill.
She walked toward the office looking utterly hopeless.
The assistant greeted him politely, saying, "Ms. Gu, you can go straight in."
Gu Anran was instantly stunned. Did the whole company know about his small mistake? Surely not?
She opened the door and went in, and saw Ye Lichuan sitting handsomely at his desk, looking at documents, wearing a well-tailored suit.
Ye Lichuan looked up slightly at Gu Anran and asked unhappily, "Why are you standing so far away?"
"Do you mean I eat people?"
Gu Anran smiled awkwardly and said, "President, you've misunderstood."
She's prepared to adopt an ostrich-like approach, letting this iceberg vent its accusations.
Ye Lichuan looked at this hateful little woman speechlessly. She was so gentle to others, but she treated him with complete indifference.
He wished he could strangle this snarling little thing.
He feigned displeasure: "You can get even the most basic things wrong? What are you thinking about all day at work?"
Gu Anran glanced down and muttered, "I knew it, this iceberg is such a shrew, is it really worth it for such a small thing?"
Ye Lichuan frowned as he listened to her muttering.
"What did you say? Speak louder! Haven't you eaten?"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Gu Anran forced a smile and looked at Ye Lichuan with a wronged expression, saying, "President, I'm sorry, I've had too many things going on at home lately, which is why I..."
"Is that a reason?"
Gu Anran lowered her head, looking aggrieved, and said, "No."
"Good to know."
Taking the opportunity, Ye Lichuan cut to the chase, saying, "Because of your mistake, the other party thinks we have professional problems. I have a social engagement tonight, you'll have to come with me."
Gu Anran pointed to her nose and asked incredulously, "Me?"
"President, I'm not suitable. Isn't this the assistant's job?"
Ye Lichuan said coldly and displeasedly, "You mean, you want someone else to take responsibility for your mistakes?"
"No, that's not what I meant." She felt increasingly unable to explain herself.
Ye Lichuan stared at Gu Anran without saying a word, making Gu Anran want to bury her head in the ground like an ostrich.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Okay."
Ye Lichuan was overjoyed to see that she agreed, but his face remained as cold as an iceberg.
Around 8 p.m., Ye Lichuan and Gu Anran got out of his van, and the people around them greeted Ye Lichuan warmly.
After getting out of the car, Ye Lichuan stretched out his arm and looked at Gu Anran, saying, "Hold on."
Gu Anran wanted nothing more than to beat him up, cursing him inwardly, but had to force a smile on her face: "Okay."
As the two of them walked into the venue, the people around them felt like they were watching celebrities walk the runway.
Ye Lichuan rarely attends such gatherings; today's event is purely to trick Gu Anran.
Business people wouldn't let go of such an opportunity when they saw Ye Lichuan; they were eager to get close to him.
They all came over to say hello and offer drinks. Ye Lichuan looked at Gu Anran and smiled slightly, "Designer Gu, the drinks for today are yours. I'll take care of delivering them back to you."
Gu Anran rolled her eyes. She finally understood that this shrew was using her to fend off the drinking.
Gu Anran blinked her innocent big eyes and pretended to be pitiful, saying, "President, look at me, a little woman, how can I possibly stop them?"
Ye Lichuan suddenly smiled, and everything around him fell silent as shouts erupted: "So handsome!"
Nightshade laughed; Nightshade actually laughed.
Liu Xinrou finally managed to find out that Ye Lichuan was here.
As soon as she entered the venue, she saw Ye Lichuan smiling at Gu Anran.
Liu Xinrou stomped her foot angrily, her face contorted with rage, and thought fiercely, "You bitch, I will never let you get away with this. This time, I will not let you be so lucky."
She turned and walked away in anger.
Ye Lichuan smiled faintly at Gu Anran and whispered in her ear, "I remember last time someone was at Soho Bar..."
Before Ye Lichuan could finish speaking, Gu Anran interrupted him, twitching her lips and saying, "Fine, I'll drink it, I'll drink it, okay?"
She looked at Ye Lichuan with dissatisfaction and said, "Don't you know that you shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings or hit them in the face?"
People came and went, offering drinks and exchanging pleasantries.
Gu Anran had no idea how much she had drunk; all she knew was that the roof was spinning.
Holding the wine glass, she kept wanting to drink, and Ye Lichuan, speechless, pulled her back, saying, "You must have been an alcoholic in your past life."
This woman can really drink.
Ye Lichuan told the driver to go get the car, and he helped Gu Anran walk out. As they walked, Gu Anran suddenly pushed Ye Lichuan away and ran towards the bathroom.
Ye Lichuan looked at Gu Anran with heartache: "Wasn't that too cruel?"
