Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Don’t Want People to Know We Have a Relationship
Gu Yan’s name was flooding the group chat.
You Shuyang nodded at the screen, "Exactly right! So, our Tang Family isn’t mistreating employees; it’s just that the boss has fallen in love, and his lifestyle has changed."
It’s obviously just torturing single people like him, who have to eat takeout alone.
Lu Fusheng was the first to speak, "Oh, Young Master Tang has fallen in love."
Xue Jiarui, "He’s actually going to the company with a lunchbox himself. Gu Yan has quite an influence on him."
Xiang Linghao, "More than quite! Before, even if you pointed a gun to his head, he wouldn’t pay you any attention."
Lu Yiyun questioned, "Is a woman’s charm really that big?"
Lu Fusheng seemed to ponder for a moment, and then unceremoniously typed a line, "Sister, trust me, you’ll never have that kind of charm, so are you admitting you’re not a woman, or admitting that as a woman, you have no charm?"
Lu Yiyun responded angrily, "I’m not choosing either! Don’t annoy me, or I’ll go find the pretty lady to hang out with."
Lu Fusheng, "You say that as if you two have great feelings for each other, huh."
Lu Yiyun, "Of course. I told her you’re my brother and that we’re rivals in the family. She’s thrilled and now video chats with me almost every week."
Lu Fusheng, "..." Damn, when did their relationship become so good? And she even used him to get it!
Tang Mubei couldn’t hold back and surfaced, "You siblings can settle your love-hate issues later. For now, the main focus is Young Master’s love history. You Shuyang, report the latest updates promptly."
You Shuyang was speechless. Second Young Master, you’re trying to exploit my remaining labor force just like your big brother, huh.
And it’s free!
Then, everyone below also followed suit, flooding the chat, "Report promptly!"
You Shuyang, "You’re all so eager; aren’t you afraid Young Master will come back, check the records, and remember to get back at you?"
Xiang Linghao, "Assistant You, you’re joking. You’re the one who leaked the news; we’re just following the gossip. Everyone likes gossip; there’s nothing wrong with that, but as the informer, you’re Young Master Tang’s primary target for revenge."
You Shuyang, "... Do you still want more gossip about Young Master Tang’s future love affairs?" They completely shifted the responsibility, making him the scapegoat.
Xue Jiarui immediately offered kind words: "Almighty Assistant You, don’t listen to his nonsense. Don’t worry, he won’t see it at work, let’s just flood the chat with info; he won’t scroll through that much."
Lu Yiyun, "Do you guys have a lot of nonsense to say?"
"Haha, even if you chat a thousand lines, I will go through each one."
A sudden comment left everyone in front of the screen stunned.
Damn! Tang Yuxiu, what about your promised workaholic compulsiveness, being all business-focused without playing on the phone?
Why did you suddenly show up?
Could it be that love has really changed him and even these ordinary small habits are emerging?
Oh, Gu Yan’s charm is truly immense, causing such a significant change in Young Master Tang.
But right now, that’s not the main point.
The main point is that they got caught gossiping about Young Master Tang’s romance by the main subject himself.
You Shuyang almost broke into a cold sweat, sneaking a glance outside the office, fearing Tang Yuxiu would appear in his office to settle the score.
Tang Yuxiu made that comment, and for a while, no one responded, as if they had all vanished...
You Shuyang was on the verge of tears, these unreliable folks, where’s that unbeatable gossip enthusiasm from before? Has it all been doused with cold water?
They’ve all laid low, with the sky high and the emperor far away, and Tang Yuxiu can’t do anything to them for a while, but he’s right under Tang Yuxiu’s nose; one slip and he’ll be in deep trouble!
You Shuyang felt his life was miserable, vowing never to leak Young Master Tang’s gossip again, each time almost getting caught red-handed.
Why is he so unlucky!
Assistant You secretly resolved not to have a next time, yet when the next time came, he still instinctively gossiped...
For them, as long as it’s not their own gossip, they’re keenly interested in others’ affairs, especially witnessing their transformations and embarrassments, they’re exceedingly entertained.
Young Master Tang sat in the office, working while glancing at his phone. Since he sent out that message, no one made a peep in the group chat. Young Master Tang snorted coldly, serves them right; they know I’m not to be messed with.
But with no one commenting back, there’s no chance for verbal sparring. As for mental torment, there’ll be plenty of opportunities in the future!
Young Master Tang always said he’s very vengeful; he plans to take revenge on each of them one by one, without leaving any feelings!
After throwing their phones aside, everyone shivered suddenly, then pretended to go about their business as if they hadn’t touched their phones or accessed the chat.
Never believe that a man nurtured by a woman would have a broader mind; in Young Master Tang’s case, it’s impossible in this life or the next.
If anything, he’ll probably get more frustrated and torment anyone who crosses him even more.
No doubt about it, Young Master Tang is such a sinister, dark, and petty man.
The group chat resumed its quietude; Young Master Tang no longer paid it any mind and focused on work.
Meanwhile, Gu Yan went upstairs to the office. Lin Fei had arrived slightly earlier and, upon seeing her, still looked at her without kindness, but also without malice, coldly glancing before bowing her head to her work.
Gu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, it seems that Wang Qi’s words yesterday really worked on her, she wasn’t giving her any attitude now, this feeling was inexplicably good!
Imagine being inexplicably resented by someone every day, always getting stabbed with a few words, and being belittled, even the most good-tempered person would find it unbearable.
Gu Yan thought she was being quite generous.
Now that Lin Fei wasn’t bothering her anymore, she couldn’t be happier!
After Yao Xue and Qin Juan from that model group, another trouble was gone.
The office life would probably be a lot more comfortable in the future.
Wang Qi came not long after, and just as Gu Yan had finished organizing the piano scores and was heading to the piano room, they greeted each other.
"Recovered from the cold?" Wang Qi asked.
Gu Yan wasn’t wearing a mask, and from this look, there was no sign of anything unusual on her face.
Gu Yan nodded, "Yeah, almost recovered."
"That’s good, probably won’t be long until we hear your piano assessment then."
"It depends on when Leader Yang schedules it, I’m ready anytime."
"Good luck!"
Gu Yan smiled, waved the music score in her hand, indicating she was going to the piano room, Wang Qi nodded.
She took a few steps, remembered something, and turned back to Wang Qi, "Wang Qi, don’t invite me to lunch at noon, I have an appointment."
Wang Qi turned and raised an eyebrow, "Male or female?"
"Not telling you." Gu Yan winked at her and walked away with the piano score.
Wang Qi curled her lips into a smile and muttered to herself, "Look at that beaming face, it looks like she’s in love."
Very curious about who it is.
Qin Junnan?
Wang Qi touched her chin, planning to catch her next time to ask properly.
At noon, Wang Qi went to the staff cafeteria with other colleagues, while Gu Yan lingered in the piano room for a while and then secretly took the elevator to the president’s office.
No one was outside the office, the secretary promptly left during lunch break.
You Shuyang had reheated the meal and delivered it to Tang Yuxiu’s office, initially thinking he would mention something about the gossip from the morning, say something in revenge, but he didn’t say anything, just waved him off.
You Shuyang couldn’t be happier, and immediately ran off as if he were on oil-slicked feet.
Gu Yan knocked directly on the office door.
Tang Yuxiu was already sitting at the only dining table in the office, waiting for her.
The meals on the table were already set, presumably by You Shuyang.
It would be impossible for Young Master Tang to cook such things.
Gu Yan knew this very well.
As she sat down, Tang Yuxiu coldly asked, "Why did you come up so late?"
Gu Yan took her lunch box and answered, "There were a lot of people just getting off work, so I waited until they left to come up."
"Why?" Tang Yuxiu asked again, still not intending to move his chopsticks.
"I don’t want people to know about our relationship right now."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Tang’s expression turned even colder, exuding an "I’m very displeased" aura.
"Do you feel that it’s shameful to be with me?"
Gu Yan paused and said, "No, I just feel that it’s not suitable for people to know about our relationship right now. After all, you just announced your engagement to Miss Nie. If we’re seen together so quickly, even if I don’t mind being talked about, you might also have people gossiping behind your back."
Tang Yuxiu frowned slightly, "Are you telling me to quickly resolve things with Nie Rong?"
"I don’t mean that, I just don’t want people to know because once our relationship is discovered, even if you’re not yet engaged to Nie Rong, I’ll still be called a third party. You’re a man, these rumors don’t affect you much, but I still need to face the world. Do you really want to see me with such a title over my head?"
Gu Yan frowned tightly, the more she spoke, the more uncomfortable she felt inside.
Tang Yuxiu didn’t mean it that way, he just couldn’t express it, what he meant was, was she blaming him for not having handled things with Nie Rong yet.
But he indeed didn’t realize that being with him now would cause her so much distress and harm.
After a long silence, Tang Yuxiu spoke, "Gu Yan, rest assured, I will handle it quickly. My woman needs to stand openly by my side, not allowing anyone to speak nonsense."
Gu Yan slightly lowered her eyes and sighed, "I’m not deliberately speaking like this, it’s just that I feel uncomfortable inside, and our relationship being exposed would affect your reputation and career, so we should be cautious now."
Tang Yuxiu took a deep breath, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
