Everyone noticed that Mr. Gu’s mood today was rather peculiar.
It wasn’t dangerous, but rather, it was life-threatening…
The morning meeting had already been a headache, and after a temporary pause, they thought the resumed meeting would go more smoothly.
Little did they know, the Mr. Gu who appeared afterwards was the one who truly initiated hell mode.
Life-threatening, truly life-threatening!
Almost everyone’s suggestions were thoroughly rejected during the meeting. Mr. Gu ordered all departments to present feasible suggestions at the next meeting before the end of the workday.
As the end of the workday approached, everyone was on pins and needles, not daring to breathe.
They were afraid the secretariat would announce a meeting in the conference room for final discussions.
Was the discussion about the project?
No, the discussion was about their pitiful lives, crushed from all angles.
Life-threatening, truly life-threatening!
The old hands who had been at the company for a long time were more cautious and knew to team up to sound out Assistant Lin beforehand.
But even Assistant Lin couldn’t say for sure at this time.
He merely pointed towards the office and said, "It all depends on whether that celestial being can calm Mr. Gu down."
"Celestial being? What celestial being?" Everyone looked at each other. Had someone entered the office just now?
It seemed like it?
Who was it?
Assistant Lin looked at the bewildered crowd and shook his head helplessly.
Fend for yourselves.
Meanwhile, in the president’s office, the hellish Mr. Gu’s expression was extremely grim.
When Assistant Lin mentioned that Xia Qing Tian had arrived, he was quite happy, thinking that although things hadn’t gone smoothly before, it was good to see her now.
Who would have thought that Xia Qing Tian would go straight to Wen Yao without even greeting him?
The two had been chattering away until now, without so much as a glance his way!
What did they think this place was!
"Cough cough." Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Yao Yang coughed lightly and said, "Wen Yao, go pour me a cup of coffee, and refill that plate of snacks."
"Such a small matter could be done by just calling anyone," Wen Yao, who was happily chatting with Xia Qing Tian, twitched her lips. Why did this Gu Yao Yang like to cause trouble!
Before, getting him to eat lunch was like coaxing a spoiled child, and now he wanted snacks.
What a picky, bratty child he was!
Despite his verbal and inner disdain, Wen Yao still gestured for Xia Qing Tian to wait, then swayed her slender waist as she walked out to prepare the coffee and snacks.
Gu Yao Yang, who had been sitting behind the desk, clicked the intercom after Wen Yao left and said, "Assistant Lin, assign more work to Secretary Wen. I don't want to see her for a while."
This Wen Yao only caused trouble for him without attending to important matters!
"Yes." Assistant Lin responded, then hesitated, "What about the meeting later..."
Gu Yao Yang glanced at Xia Qing Tian and replied, "Cancel it."
"Yes." Assistant Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief and made an OK gesture to the waiting crowd around him.
Everyone then collectively relaxed.
After the intercom call ended completely, Assistant Lin spoke, "Don't celebrate too soon. You all still have to come to work tomorrow."
"Ah..." Everyone's shoulders sagged again. "Ai..."
"But if you want to live today, then keep Secretary Wen busy and don't let her return to Mr. Gu's office." Assistant Lin said seriously.
"Okay!" Everyone eagerly rubbed their fists, fully prepared.
Wen Yao, who was opening the refrigerator to get snacks, shivered inexplicably. There was killing intent!
As soon as she turned around, Wen Yao saw Assistant Lin. Before she could even speak, she heard Assistant Lin say, "Wen Yao, I finally found you. The secretariat is very busy, go help them."
"But I have to deliver snacks and coffee..." Wen Yao was interrupted before she could finish.
"I can handle these small matters. You go help first, they can't do without you there!" Assistant Lin said.
"Is that so? You guys really are something else." Wen Yao tossed her long hair and headed towards the secretariat.
Watching Wen Yao's retreating back, Assistant Lin let out a long sigh of relief. After finishing with the secretariat, there was still the advertising department, the planning department, the creative department, the information department...
Well, this would definitely create more opportunities for Mr. Gu to have private time.
"Xia Qing Tian... Our lives are in your hands..." Assistant Lin, a firm materialist, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and sincerely prayed, "Please don't get angry with Mr. Gu... Please, please..."
Meanwhile, Wen Yao vaguely realized that her status at Gu's Entertainment today seemed to have increased significantly. It seemed like... every department needed her.
How strange...
On the other side, Xia Qing Tian felt it was absurd when she heard Gu Yao Yang order Wen Yao not to return.
If Wen Yao didn't come back, how would her hidden reward be triggered?
Why was this Gu Yao Yang always causing trouble!
"You've been talking non-stop to Wen Yao. Who exactly are you here to see? Hmm?" Gu Yao Yang looked at Xia Qing Tian impatiently, his eyes filled with a hint of resentment.
"I came to see Wen Yao." Xia Qing Tian replied matter-of-factly.
"..." Gu Yao Yang felt a tightness in his chest, unable to exhale or swallow the breath.
"Let Wen Yao come back, I have important business here," Xia Qing Tian said to Gu Yao Yang, "Don't delay my business."
But strangely, after chatting with Wen Yao for so long, she hadn't seemed to trigger any reward notification sounds.
The last time, she heard it only after Wen Yao left. This time, Wen Yao had also left, so where was the reward?
Could it be that Wen Yao alone wasn't enough, and Wen Ning had to be present too?
As Xia Qing Tian was wondering, she looked up and found Gu Yao Yang striding towards her. He grabbed her wrist with one hand, pulled her forward, and said coldly, "How have I not seen any important business between you two!"
From skincare to split ends, from Wen Yao's work to Xia Qing Tian's horoscope.
Was any of this important business?
"You! You're too close..." Xia Qing Tian looked at Gu Yao Yang's face, which was just inches away, feeling a bit nervous. "You're hurting my hand! Let go!"
Gu Yao Yang opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then felt that anything he said would be futile. He closed his mouth again, released Xia Qing Tian's hand, took a step back, and lowered his gaze.
Xia Qing Tian massaged her aching wrist, her brows furrowed, wondering what Gu Yao Yang was acting up about this time.
Just then, an excited child's voice came from within her skull: "Congratulations Host for triggering the hidden reward! Ten points have been credited! Hope the Host continues to strive! Oh ho~"
"!" Xia Qing Tian was stunned and immediately recalled that before Gu Yao Yang and Wen Yao left that day, he had also suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her arm...
Perhaps Wen Yao wasn't the key to the hidden reward; Gu Yao Yang was!
"I'll have Wen Yao come back. If you don't want to be with me that much, there's no need to force it." Gu Yao Yang turned and walked towards the desk, preparing to call the intercom to have Assistant Lin call Wen Yao back.
After all, his thoughts had never been important to Xia Qing Tian.
Just as he was about to lift his hand, it was suddenly held tightly. Gu Yao Yang froze, turned his head, and met Xia Qing Tian's bright, sparkling eyes, filled with eager joy.
Gu Yao Yang couldn't help but think in his heart: Does this joy in her eyes have anything to do with me...
And Xia Qing Tian finally found the answer she was looking for.
"Congratulations Host for triggering the hidden reward again! Ten points have been credited! Host, you're amazing~ Oh ho~"
