Tong Yao smiled subtly, "Hongwei is a man of great ambition. Even without Ahchen and me, he would have achieved something. We can say that we have accomplished each other. Without him, I might still be running a little milk tea shop."
Of course, even running a milk tea shop, her life would be much better than most people, but it wouldn’t match her current achievements.
Tong Yao knew that her weak point was managing operations. She wouldn’t be good at managing a large company like the transportation company.
Instead, Gu Hongwei was quite good at these areas. Their relationship is one of mutual accomplishments.
Of course, without them, Gu Hongwei’s path wouldn’t have been so smooth. He would have taken many detours.
Fortunately, Gu Hongwei is reserved and doesn’t vainly pride himself on his accomplishments.
In this regard, Tong Yao did not misjudge him.
In Zhou Lei’s ears, Tong Yao was just being humble.
The car soon arrived at the company building. Tong Yao intentionally called Guo Jinnian, who was still choosing candy at the supermarket.
"I’m still choosing candy. I don’t know what flavors they like. I guess I’ll just buy some of each," he said.
Tong Yao teased, "Alright, you can choose at your leisure. After all, whatever flavor you buy, even if it doesn’t taste good, everyone will still say it’s delicious because the future boss paid for it."
Guo Jinnian laughed, "Yaoyao, you’re teasing me."
After a few more casual words, Tong Yao found an excuse to hang up the phone and told everyone, "Jinnian hasn’t arrived yet, let’s go up first."
Deng Wenwen and Guo Miaomiao were more nervous than the actual person involved, Guo Jinnian.
"Yes, let’s hurry up and go. We don’t want to bump into my sister."
They quickly entered the company, where Hu Haiyun had already arrived and was helping the staff decorate the place.
Gu Hongwei’s office was decorated with colorful decorations. It looked so festive that Tong Yao couldn’t help but laugh.
Gu Hongwei asked hesitantly, "What do you think of these decorations? Will Jinnian like them?"
Tong Yao laughed lightly, "What Jinnian cares about is not the scene, but your intentions. Seeing you so sincere is already better than anything else."
Guo Miaomiao nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Brother Hongwei, my sister will surely be touched. She’ll remember this day for the rest of her life."
Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun also agreed. Seeing everyone speak this way, Gu Hongwei finally felt relieved.
Tong Yao noticed that he hadn’t noticed the presence of Zhou Lei and reminded him, "Hongwei, you’re so excited that you haven’t even noticed than an extra person is here."
Reminded by Tong Yao, Gu Hongwei looked around and finally noticed Zhou Lei standing behind Tong Yaohui.
Seeing his gaze on him, Zhou Lei stepped out from behind Tong Yaohui, "Hongwei, it’s been a long time."
Despite Zhou Lei’s drastic changes over the years, Gu Hongwei recognized him immediately, given that they had lived together for one or two years and Zhou Lei had always been good to him.
Seeing Zhou Lei made him very happy, "Lei, it’s indeed been a long time. I heard about you from Wenwen. I was thinking of inviting you out for dinner after wrapping up the proposal situation. I didn’t expect you to be one step ahead."
Zhou Lei had been worried that Gu Hongwei might look down on him, but hearing Gu Hongwei say that made him feel his worries were unnecessary.
Gu Hongwei was simply not that type of person.
"I heard about your proposal, so I thought I would come over to join in the fun. You don’t mind, do you?"
