"President, the next interviewee hasn't arrived yet. Do you think I should arrange for someone else to be interviewed first?" The assistant said respectfully, bracing himself for fear of angering Ye Lichuan.
"Um."
Having received Ye Lichuan's permission, the assistant was overjoyed and hurriedly took the list to call the next person.
After arranging for the others to arrive, the assistant quickly dialed the phone number left by Yu Huihui.
"Yu Huihui, what kind of person did you find? The interview hasn't even started yet, and she's already disappeared. We can't get through to her on the phone either. You need to find her right now. You know our CEO's temper. If we don't see her soon, neither of us will be able to work!"
The phone rang, and Gu Xiaotian answered it only to hear that his mother was missing. His heart tightened, and his little face furrowed.
No one knew Mommy's personality better than him. She would never disappear for no reason, especially not in such an important occasion as a job interview. Something must have happened!
Gu Xiaotian skillfully turned on the computer, found the satellite positioning, frowned, and his two small hands typed rapidly on the keyboard. His serious expression did not resemble that of a five-year-old child at all.
"Found it!"
In less than five minutes, Gu Xiaotian located Gu Anran's location.
"Power distribution room?"
Oh no! If the power is turned on, Mom will be in danger!
Gu Xiaotian's expression changed, and he quickly dialed Yu Huihui's number. Listening to the dial tone, his flustered little hands trembled, and he forced himself to calm down.
"Aunt Huihui, it's me, Xiaotian. Listen to me, turn off your company's power right now! Hurry!"
Gu Xiaotian's anxious tone left Yu Huihui somewhat confused.
"Power switch? Xiaotian, don't joke with me, okay? I'm working, and do you know how much the company will lose if the power is turned off?"
"Aunt Huihui, I'm not joking. Mommy is locked in your company's electrical room right now. In three minutes, the switch will be turned on, and Mommy will be in danger of being in the TV! So you have to turn off the power within three minutes! Hurry!"
"In the power distribution room?"
Yu Huihui's hand trembled, and the document fell from her hand. Her expression turned serious. For some reason, her intuition told her that this little guy was not playing a prank.
"Xiao Tian, don't worry, I'm coming right now."
As soon as Yu Huihui hung up the phone, she rushed out of the office...
By the time Gu Xiaotian hung up the phone, he had already gotten into the car. The driver, seeing that Gu Xiaotian hadn't cried despite the ordeal and could still speak clearly and logically, silently wondered, "Is this really just a five-year-old child?"
Inside the power distribution room, it was pitch black all around.
She developed claustrophobia five years ago after being strapped into the dark cabin, and every moment she spent there was torture.
She frantically pounded on the door: "Is anyone home? Let me out! Let me out!"
However, no matter how much she shouted, no one answered her outside. She knew that the power would be turned on again soon, and she would be electrocuted to death there.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
The electricity meter on the wall started its countdown, and the sound of time passing was exceptionally clear in the dimly lit, enclosed space. Anxiety and fear instantly overwhelmed Gu Anran.
"No, no, don't lock me up here, let me out!"
The pain of impending death tormented Gu Anran's heart. She desperately pounded on the locked door, trying to attract attention.
"I haven't even seen Xiaotian grow up yet, I absolutely can't die like this!"
In the completely enclosed space with no fresh air, Gu Anran's energy was gradually being depleted. She endured the discomfort in her body and kept calling for help, silently praying that someone would hear her cries for help.
...
"Help……"
The faint cries for help coming from the power distribution room made Ye Lichuan stop in his tracks.
In the quiet stairwell, the voice, tinged with sobs, sounded rather desolate.
Ye Lichuan's large, well-defined hand gripped the doorknob of the power distribution room and twisted it without hesitation...
Without any warning, Gu Anran's body fell straight into a hard embrace. The embrace was warm and, inexplicably, somewhat familiar.
"hiss……"
Pressed down firmly by the woman, Ye Lichuan's dark eyes darkened, and he was about to explode in anger.
With a "snap,"
All the lights in the building went out, and the world seemed to darken. A few soft rays of natural light shone in, casting a hazy glow on the woman's beautiful face. At that moment, she seemed to be the only light illuminating the entire world.
The atmosphere subtly shifted; the woman's rapid breaths sprayed onto Ye Lichuan's body, and his proud self-control was unexpectedly broken by this unfamiliar woman...
