Chapter 8 – Chapter 8 Returning to the Scene of Fire_1
I fell silent after hearing that.
Why on earth would he still want to commemorate me?
Isn’t the death of an enemy supposed to be enjoyable?
Could it be that he intends to use my death to attack Zhenyi Company, to strike against Gu Yuanzhou?
After all, this is the ideal opportunity for him to take over Zhenyi Company.
However, I currently don’t have the energy to think too much about it, as Gu Yuanzhou has just returned from a business trip.
Inside the office.
The man who’s just returned from his trip is still covered in the dust of the road.
Rubbing his reddened eyes, he lowered his head to look at my proposal.
At this point, I handed him a bottle of eye drops…
He suffers from dry eyes, and staying up late would cause his eyes to become bloodshot, causing him discomfort.
The brand of eye drops I bought for him, Sea-Lu, does not contain any preservatives and is well-suited for him.
“Mr. President, perhaps you could use some eye drops and rest for a bit?”
He didn’t say anything but finished reading my letter of recommendation.
“You write well, the logic is clear, and your views on the market are unique… but why have I never noticed you before?”
As expected, he’s a calculating individual.
In a single glance, Gu Yuanzhou understood my situation.
But I had already prepared a countermeasure.
“I used to be too engrossed in dating, but now that I’ve broken up with my boyfriend, I want to achieve something to prove him wrong about me!”
“That intern?”
It took me a while to realize he was talking about Shen Yishu.
Actually, I did help Shen Yishu out once and never thought Gu Yuanzhou would’ve noticed.
The thought of him possibly observing everything with those hawk-like eyes from atop this skyscraper sent chills down my spine.
Upon thinking it over, however, I realized there had been no intimate interaction between Shen Yishu and me. So I replied,
“No, it’s not him!”
“It’s not?”
“We’re not close. It’s just that when I saw him being pushed by the security, I was afraid he would badmouth our company. So I went forward to help him up and help him once. I persuaded him not to create negative news about our company.”
As I smoothly responded, Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes gradually softened.
“I’m giving you this opportunity! But remember, I don’t like incompetency. Don’t mess up at work.”
Gu Yuanzhou agreed indeed.
I knew this man was a workaholic and had high demands on his subordinates.
However, he cherished his staff, and if I performed well, he would place a high level of trust in me.
Just as I was secretly jubilant about gaining Gu Yuanzhou’s trust,
I didn’t expect that the first task he gave me would prove to be so challenging…
He handed me a file.
“Starting from today, you’re to keep an eye on this lawsuit. Coordinate everything clearly with Mr. Zhou.”
As I flipped the file open for a quick peek,
it was a scene of a room charred beyond recognition. It was like stabbing a visceral wound in my heart.
I didn’t dare to look again and quickly shut the file.
“Mr. President, this is a personal affair… Is it really appropriate for you to have me handle it?”
Gu Yuanzhou was silent as a rock.
He silently walked over to the full-length glass window and lit a cigarette.
After a long while, he returned to his chair and looked at me with a frosty gaze.
“Remember, I have to win!”
Gu Yuanzhou seemed deeply reticent about this issue.
I didn’t know if it was because I was present, making him act mysterious to show the depth of his pain, or it was out of guilt, unable to face his wife and children.
Either way, he didn’t say much.
After assigning me the task, he quickly left.
