"Mommy! Mommy, where are you?"
A child's voice, filled with anxiety and unease, broke the delicate atmosphere.
Gu Anran then realized that she was lying on top of the man in a very ungraceful position. She hurriedly got up and bowed to the man to apologize.
"Sir, I'm so sorry, are you alright?"
Immediately afterwards, a small figure rushed over and threw itself into Gu Anran's arms.
"Mommy, are you okay? Were you scared?"
The little guy checked Gu Anran over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright. He then turned to look at Ye Lichuan standing to the side.
"Thank you for saving my mother."
Ye Lichuan's eyebrows twitched slightly.
In the dim light, Ye Lichuan could not see Gu Xiaotian's face clearly, only his general outline.
He had never liked children, but he didn't dislike the little boy in front of him at all.
"You're welcome."
Ye Lichuan responded calmly, without a trace of emotion.
After a series of hurried footsteps, the assistant rushed over, trembling as he said, "President... it was my fault for not handling things properly; someone managed to slip up and pull the power switch..."
"Did you unplug the power?"
"Yes... According to feedback, this power outage caused serious losses; a lot of important data was lost."
The assistant was sweating profusely and didn't dare to breathe, fearing that Ye Lichuan would fly into a rage.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out who is behind this and deal with them seriously. This will never happen again!"
Gu Xiaotian, who was standing to the side, frowned when he heard that the person who turned off the power would be severely punished. What if they found out that it was Aunt Huihui...
"I did it!"
Gu Xiaotian said firmly, "A young man should protect the people around him!"
"Besides, I cut the power because I was thinking about your company." He rolled his big, bright eyes, crossed his arms, and said in a mature tone.
"oh?"
Ye Lichuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the frost on his face melted a little.
Seeing that the man's expression had softened, Gu Xiaotian shook his head and continued speaking.
"If someone in the company dies unexpectedly, the media will report it extensively, which will affect your company's reputation and cause your stock to drop. The losses will be much more than just those!"
Listening to the child's seemingly plausible sophistry, Ye Lichuan felt a little amused: "But, when you do something wrong, you always have to take responsibility, don't you?"
Seeing the man's dangerous gaze, Gu Anran quickly pulled Gu Xiaotian behind her.
"Sir, if Xiaotian should take responsibility, then your company should take even more responsibility! I came here for an interview, but someone pushed me into the power distribution room and locked me up. It was clearly your company's security that was inadequate, and I almost died inside. This should be your responsibility."
Looking at the woman who had just been desperately begging him for help, now appearing fiercely protective of her own, a hint of amusement flashed deep in Ye Lichuan's eyes.
This mother and son are interesting!
Upon hearing the word "interview," the assistant realized that the Miss Gu whom they had been unable to find earlier was none other than her!
Seeing that Ye Lichuan seemed to be in a good mood, the assistant cautiously spoke up again.
"Mr. Ye, you're not satisfied with any of today's interviewees. Since Miss Gu is also being interviewed, why don't you take a look at her design..."
Nightclub?
Gu Anran then took a closer look at the man in front of her. His Italian handmade suit and powerful aura clearly indicated that he was no ordinary person. She had thought he was just a branch president, but she never expected him to be Ye Lichuan!
"Mr. Ye... Hello, I'm the interviewee." Thinking about how she had just acted so aggressively, she felt a little guilty, but she still managed to get herself into the best possible state.
"Although I was a little surprised just now, I hope you can take a look at my design portfolio. I am confident that I can do well for the position in your company. Please give me a chance!"
Gu Anran is just that kind of person; when it comes to work, she never misses an opportunity, even if the current situation is somewhat awkward.
"You've already missed the interview." Ye Lichuan frowned, and the temperature around him dropped even further.
Gu Anran felt the powerful aura emanating from the man, and a sense of pressure arose inexplicably in her heart, yet she was still unwilling to give up easily.
"This was an accident. I was locked inside. I didn't mean to be late. I hope you can give me a chance."
"No matter what, being late is being late."
Gu Anran was somewhat frustrated, not expecting Ye Lichuan to be so rigid and inflexible, leaving no room for compromise whatsoever.
The assistant stood to the side, wanting to speak up for Gu Anran, but seeing Ye Lichuan's furrowed brows, she gave up.
Yu Huihui, it's not that I didn't want to help her, I've done my best, you can't blame me!
Gu Anran lowered her head, originally intending to use this opportunity to enter the design industry, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Seeing that his mother was unhappy, Gu Xiaotian stood on tiptoe, frowned, and said to Ye Lichuan, "Missing one opportunity doesn't mean there won't be another, right? Uncle, I can help you recover the lost data in exchange for my mother's interview opportunity."
"you?"
"Yes, I can help you recover all the company's data from before the power outage, but I won't do it for free. In exchange, you have to let my mom interview you, how about that?"
