"Yes, who can compare to you, Young Master Gu? So what if I stay in a hotel like this? I still sleep soundly." Li Zhiyi's words revealed another surprise: she was staying in a hotel with another man, but she was happy and content.
He spoke as if he had heard something utterly absurd, his words laced with a hint of gritted teeth: "Who is he?"
"What do you mean?" Li Zhiyi didn't understand what he meant at all. Her hair was still dripping wet. She was afraid of catching a cold later, so she just wanted to dry her hair first. So she ignored him and went to the bathroom to blow-dry her hair.
Gu Siye snatched the hairdryer from her hand and then started drying her hair.
The man's hands were large and warm, moving through her hair and occasionally touching her scalp, making her very uncomfortable. Li Zhiyi didn't know what was wrong with him. "I don't need your help, I can do it myself."
"Don't move."
Li Zhiyi tried several times to take back the hair dryer, but Gu Siye held her shoulders and dried her hair, making Li Zhiyi feel like she was being tortured.
Gu Siye couldn't help but sniff. The fragrance of her hair mixed with the girl's unique body scent wafted into Gu Siye's nostrils, and he found it somewhat intoxicating.
As soon as Li Zhiyi put down the hairdryer, he turned around and was tightly hugged by Gu Siye.
"Let me go! What do you want?"
"Let me hold you for a while." His tone softened considerably.
However, Li Zhiyi struggled fiercely. Gu Siye was enraged and braced himself against the wall with one hand. He was very tall, a full 1.86 meters, while Li Zhiyi was only 1.65 meters. Li Zhiyi did not dare to look up at him and felt a sense of oppression.
Gu Siye didn't understand when she had become somewhat afraid of him. He knew he was acting impulsively, but for some reason, his self-control was getting weaker and weaker. Especially when faced with her indifferent attitude, he felt extremely annoyed!
He snorted and slammed the door shut as he stormed off, still angry about her attitude the whole way. But when he got back to the company, something even more infuriating happened.
A woman dressed up in a flamboyant manner, who refused to use the company elevator and insisted on calling it her private elevator, is clearly a scheming woman!
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
Su Wanrou's voice was soft. Today, she was wearing a gray business suit, paired with black stockings and stilettos, and carrying a small bright red handbag. She looked incredibly charming.
However, Gu Siye saw it and sensed a hint of worldliness in it.
"Who gave you permission to use my private elevator? Where did you come from?"
Su Wanrou was overjoyed, thinking that Gu Siyue was interested in her. She proudly puffed out her chest and said, "President Gu, I am Zheng Mei's niece. My name is Su Wanrou, and I work here."
"Who gave you permission to work here?"
He gets angry whenever he mentions Zheng Mei. He doesn't know what tricks that woman used to bewitch his father, making him listen to her in everything. He's always known his father is useless, but he'd turned a blind eye before because he didn't bother him.
Now that they've turned their attention to him, he immediately retorted angrily, "Go and submit your resignation right now."
The elevator doors opened, and Gu Siye stepped out. Su Wanrou wanted to ask him why, so she chased after him: "Mr. Gu, why should I submit my resignation? I'm very happy working here!"
"Did Zheng Mei send you? Tell her that her methods are useless against me, and tell her to stop with her tricks, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"No, it wasn't my aunt who sent me here. I applied for the job myself." At this moment, even Su Wanrou, who was usually naive, could sense his hostility towards Zheng Mei.
It's all her aunt's fault. She always boasted in the family group chat about how well she was doing in the Gu family and how much the eldest son of the Gu family respected her, so she believed it to be true.
That's why she would speak up for her aunt. If she knew that he and her aunt were irreconcilable enemies, she wouldn't be foolish enough to bring it up on purpose.
Su Wanrou was stopped by her assistant because not just anyone could enter the president's office.
Su Wanrou stormed downstairs. As soon as she reached the bottom and turned on her computer, someone from the HR department came to her office and said, "Ms. Su, you're being fired. Please pack your things and leave."
"Why should I? I work diligently and conscientiously, and you fire me just like that? You have to give me a reason today, or I'm going to sue you."
"Go ahead!" The HR person looked at her shrewish behavior and felt even more contemptuous. He had always thought this woman was improper.
Enraged, Su Wanrou stood there and berated the HR department staff. None of her colleagues dared to respond, as they had just had dinner with her yesterday. As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him."
"Tell me, does this company not treat people like human beings? I'm not leaving this time unless they give me a reason."
Because she had already posted about joining this company on her WeChat Moments, many of her friends knew about it, and she felt quite proud.
Everyone who works here is exceptionally capable, especially considering how good her position is. She wouldn't want to start from a lower-level job at another company.
Even if she couldn't marry Gu Siye, she wanted to keep this job. After all, she had always dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family, and this respectable job was a plus.
The assistant, having learned of the situation downstairs, reported it to Gu Siyue. "Okay, then let her handle the most difficult client. If she meets the sales target, she can stay; if not, she can leave."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." The assistant knew that the president wanted to force the girl to leave the company. After all, he couldn't even handle the most difficult clients, let alone this pretty but useless woman.
In the afternoon, Li Zhiyi returned to the Gu family home. She had just bought a new phone and changed the SIM card when she received a call from her grandfather, who asked her to come back because of Gu Nianzhi.
“Girl, I think Nianzhi is a strange child. She’s someone who never likes to travel alone, so why has she been living by the sea alone for so long without coming back?”
When Li Zhi thought of the seaside, he thought of the fish-man prince. Could it be...?
“Grandpa, this matter is indeed strange. How about this, I will go and find Nianzhi myself in the next few days to see what she is doing at the beach.”
"Yes, you're the only person Grandpa can trust."
Old Master Gu knew that his son was hoping for his death so that he could get a larger share of the company.
But he had already decided that when Ya Tou and Si Ye got married, he would transfer all the shares to Ya Tou's name, so those people could have their eyes on them!
