Gu Lin, who sees everything
He tilted his head, and a strand of his wig fell to his cheek, making him look both playful and serious.
"First of all, let me hug you! Feeling used and treated like a tool must be incredibly uncomfortable and frustrating! If it were me, I'd be furious too!"
He first gave strong emotional recognition, making the "anonymous friend" feel understood.
A barrage of comments floated by: [Little Cat understands me! ].
"But," Lin Yu'an changed the subject, folded his hands on the table, and leaned forward slightly.
His eyes became especially sincere and bright. "Let's think about this from another perspective, okay? What does it mean that I'm being used as a sounding board by my boss, as a 'bridge' between him and the person he... uh, cares about?"
He paused deliberately to give the audience room to think.
Then he said in a powerful and encouraging tone: "This shows that the boss trusts you very much!
In his mind, you must be a person with super ability, super tight-lipped, and super reliable! That's why he entrusted such an important matter to you!
Isn't this the greatest affirmation of your ability and character? Being trusted and relied upon by your boss is a truly valuable intangible asset in the workplace! Even if the method used might be a bit ridiculous..."
In front of the screen, Chen Feng, with a cold face, heard the words "I trust you very much", "super capable", "super strict", "super reliable", and "precious intangible asset".
The corners of his tightly pursed lips relaxed slightly, barely perceptible.
Although I know it's just comforting words, but... it seems to make some sense?
Gu Lin has a suspicious personality, so being able to entrust this kind of thing to him is indeed a kind of trust...
"As for you feeling used..."
Lin Yu'an's voice became softer, carrying a soothing power.
"I understand your grievance. But perhaps, the boss didn't mean to take advantage of you? Perhaps he's just... um... not very good at handling this kind of... uh... rather special relationship? So, clumsily, unable to find a better way, he can only rely on his trusted subordinates?"
It's like a child who wants to give candy to someone they like, but is too embarrassed to do so and has to ask a good friend to pass it to them? Although the method is a bit clumsy, the starting point... maybe it's not that bad?
He tried hard to make amends for the "boss" and tried to resolve the resentment of the "anonymous friend".
Chen Feng's mind flashed back to Gu Lin's seemingly calm profile as he issued those instructions, his jaw tense, and the subtle awkwardness and nervousness in his deep eyes. It seemed like he was a little "clumsy"?
"Finally, regarding the 'both are men' thing..."
When Lin Yu'an said this, an extremely warm and tolerant smile appeared on his face.
"My friend, what I want to say is that sincerity is the most precious thing!"
His voice came through the microphone clearly and powerfully:
"Liking someone is a beautiful thing in itself. This feeling, no matter whether the other person is a man or a woman, no matter what the final outcome is, its value will not change. It is like a sparkling gem, worthy of respect and cherishment.
We may not understand, or find it strange, but please don't look at it with strange eyes. People who are brave enough to face their feelings are amazing! Of course, the premise is not to hurt others!
He winked playfully and added, "So, this super important, super reliable bridge friend, try to be more open-minded? Think of this experience as a badge of recognition from your boss about your abilities. As for the boss and his secretary... just leave it to them! I believe sincerity will find its own way!"
These words were gentle, sincere, full of positive energy, and a little playful.
It elevates topics that might have been filled with resentment and gossip to a level of understanding and respect.
The comments were instantly flooded with comments like "An An's values are so positive!", "That was so well said!", "Sincerity is the most precious!", and "My tears are flowing!"

President's Office.
A huge curved screen occupied the entire wall, and at this moment it was clearly broadcasting the live broadcast of "An Xiao Miao".
There was no light on, only the light from the screen illuminated Gu Lin's deep outline.
When that anonymous, highly targeted comment appeared, Gu Lin's hand holding the coffee cup suddenly stopped.
His eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.
A male secretary? A tool? Two men? This description… He almost instantly identified the identity of the "anonymous friend"—Chen Feng!
A cold anger suddenly surged in my heart.
Chen Feng, you're so brave! How dare you come here to complain? And anonymously?
However, when Lin Yu'an began to counsel him in a gentle voice, saying "I trust you very much", "You are very capable", and "You are a precious intangible asset", the anger that was surging in Gu Lin's eyes froze slightly.
He listened to those words and looked at the sincere and shining eyes of the "girl" on the screen.
The offended anger in my heart was strangely replaced by a more complex emotion.
These words...are they Lin Yu'an's evaluation of Chen Feng?
Is this how he views Chen Feng? Trust, ability, reliability...
Although it was meant to comfort him, those words still made Gu Lin feel a very subtle discomfort in his heart.
Then, Lin Yu'an began to defend his "boss" - "I didn't take advantage of him on purpose," "I was just clumsy," "I couldn't find a better way," "It was like handing candy to a child"...
Gu Lin's eyebrows moved almost imperceptibly.
Clumsy? Kid?
He Gu Lin? Ridiculous!
He subconsciously wanted to refute, but looking at the face on the screen that was explaining seriously and trying to excuse the "boss", it was glowing with a warm glow.
The awkward depression in my heart dissipated quietly.
So... in Lin Yu'an's eyes, his actions... were "clumsy"?
Finally, when Lin Yu'an said with a smile and tone that seemed to carry a holy light, "Sincerity is the most precious thing!"
Gu Lin's heart seemed to be hit hard by something.
The voice came through the expensive sound system, clear and firm.
Full of unquestionable strength and warm tolerance.
The words "Sincerity is the most precious" were like a stone thrown into a deep pool, stirring up circles of ripples that could not be calmed down in the long-frozen lake of his heart.
The light from the screen reflected in his bottomless eyes, which were filled with cold calculation and desire for control.
At this moment it is covered by a purer, more burning light.
He looked at the "girl" on the screen who had curved eyebrows and exuded a warm and healing aura.
It was as if I saw Lin Yu'an, the one who was sometimes stubborn under high pressure, sometimes sunny, and whose eyes would light up with joy just for a cup of coffee and an umbrella.
The most authentic and moving core.
So what if I'm clumsy?
So what if the means are not sophisticated enough?
This is what he wants.
It is this pure and untainted reverence and cherishment for "sincerity".
Gu Lin slowly put down the coffee cup, leaned forward slightly, and gently slid his slender fingers across the control panel.
The live broadcast screen was enlarged again and again.
Finally, the picture stopped at "An Xiao Miao"'s face with a warm smile and eyes as bright as stars.
He stretched out his hand, and his cold fingertips, through the void, gently, almost reverently, brushed across the glowing outline of the smiling face on the screen.
His movements were extremely gentle, carrying a kind of cherishment and... obsession that even he himself was not aware of.
In the dimly lit office, only the light from the screen was dancing.
It turns out that when you like someone and hear him talk about "sincerity", your heart will really become soft and warm.
Lin Yuan...
He silently repeated the name in his heart.
