"I wasn’t in the mood yesterday." Gu Lili asked, "Why did you call me yesterday?"
"Actually, it was nothing important. I just signed two new boys and wanted you to check them out."
"If you decided to sign them, they must be promising. Just handle it yourself." Gu Lili sat down and casually grabbed some fried peanuts from the table. "When are you going home for New Year next month?"
"Not decided yet, we’ll see how things go. Isn’t it always quick to go home?" Antonio sat down and scrutinized her, "Are you not eating properly? Why do you seem thinner?"
"Thinner?" She touched her face, "I think I look the same as before."
"You look in the mirror every day, naturally, you wouldn’t notice."
Gu Lili said lazily, "This company is indeed lucky to have you managing it, it’s so easy for me to be a hands-off boss. Neo, you’ve worked hard."
Antonio squinted, "Why are you suddenly so conscientious today?"
"I’ve always been conscientious."
"Yeah right, your conscience is open to everyone else. When it comes to me, it’s nonexistent, you heartless woman."
Gu Lili found his words particularly amusing, "How am I heartless?"
"You ignore my sincerity completely, not giving me even the slightest chance, isn’t that being heartless?"
"If I really gave you a chance, that would be truly heartless." Gu Lili patted his head lightly, "Understand?"
"I’m utterly heartbroken over you now." Antonio looked despondent, "I feel like I can never love again."
"Wait till you meet a girl who makes your heart skip a beat, then you’ll realize what you just said is nonsense."
"I wonder in whose belly my future wife is now."
Hearing this made Gu Lili want to hit him.
"By the way." Antonio looked at her, "Did you watch the national news last night?"
"No, what happened?" For origınal chapters go to novel※fire.net
"Your country is about to start selecting a new President soon, the whole country will begin voting."
Gu Lili was not interested at all, "It doesn’t matter to me who becomes President. Why are you, a foreigner, so interested in S country’s affairs?"
"Well, S country is like my second homeland. I love living here. Our T country is a democratic country, and your country follows a hereditary system with power concentrated in the Yin Family. In fact, I think your system is better because it prevents unrest."
Gu Lili had no interest in the matters of the country, "Every system has its pros and cons. In the end, winning the hearts of the people is crucial. Whatever the system, it revolves around this theme. Losing the people’s support means losing power. But since your country is democratic, it means anyone could become President, right?"
"It seems so on the surface..."
"Antonio, your Anton Family is also influential in T country. Keep up the effort, who knows, one day you might really become the President of your country."
Antonio played along, "Gu Lili, seeing this President, shouldn’t you kneel quickly?"
Gu Lili punched him, "Get lost, you brighten up at the slightest bit of sunlight, don’t you?"
She felt a bit better. These past few days had been really suffocating.
She returned home at six in the evening.
After dinner, she went upstairs to rest.
The psychological therapy books that Long Yubei had been reading came in handy.
Now it was her turn to read them.
And they were indeed useful, as expected from the works of a renowned medical professor.
Once Gu Lili started reading, she couldn’t stop.
She read continuously for five or six hours until late into the night.
