At last, Li Xiao left with a stack of files, muttering the name of the milk tea Gu Zhiqi had mentioned in a daze.
He had never heard of the name before, and he was genuinely afraid that he might forget it accidentally.
After Li Xiao left, Gu Mengyang took Gu Zhiqi to the reception room next to the office.
The two of them entered the reception room one after the other.
On the sofa in the reception room sat a young man who appeared to be around twenty years old.
The young man was exceptionally handsome, his features exuding a tender youthfulness, laced with a lingering sense of adolescence, a prime example of a fresh young face.
Hearing the noise from the doorway, the young man turned his head for a glance, and upon seeing the figures at the door, he immediately stood up from the sofa, bowing respectfully to Gu Mengyang, "President Gu."
"Mhm," Gu Mengyang responded indifferently, then looked to Sun Yuyang and said, "Take a seat."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yuyang certainly did not dare to sit down just like that. Only after Gu Mengyang and Gu Zhiqi had taken their seats did he sit down somewhat stiffly, his hands resting on his knees, clenching and then relaxing, relaxing and then clenching.
"No need to be nervous, I asked you here just for a casual chat," Gu Mengyang said, noticing his constrained demeanor.
Gu Mengyang’s speech was slow and deliberate, his demeanor elegant and scholarly, yet it also easily created a sense of distance.
Even though his words seemed comforting, Sun Yuyang didn’t feel at ease; on the contrary, he became even more tense.
Seeing this, Gu Mengyang didn’t say anything further but instead tilted his head slightly to glance at Gu Zhiqi, "Want to ask anything?"
Sun Yuyang was truly taken aback upon hearing this, the switch in tone was just too abrupt.
While speaking to him felt distant, the tone changed to one of gentleness when addressing the young lady beside him.
Sun Yuyang glanced curiously at the young lady next to him.
With that look, Sun Yuyang was stunned on the spot.
This beauty... does it even exist in the real world?
A newly joined artist in the company?
Thinking of the way Gu Mengyang spoke to her, another guess surged in his mind—could she be the future Mrs. President of the company?
But then, she looked a bit too young.
For a moment, Sun Yuyang had various guesses in his mind and ultimately thought it was more likely that she was a newly signed artist.
While Sun Yuyang’s thoughts were soaring, a lazy and cool voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Divination? Five million per reading, no charge if not accurate."
Sun Yuyang’s first reaction: With such a pleasant voice, she must be aiming for a music career.
Second reaction: ?!!!
Five million per reading?!
Do I look like someone who has five million?
Sun Yuyang was once again dumbfounded, while Gu Mengyang, hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, fell completely silent.
The speechlessness in his eyes almost spilled over.
"I see your destiny is clear and smooth, but this stage name and your facial features really don’t match, five million, I’ll help you pick a new one."
From the moment he saw Sun Yuyang, Gu Zhiqi knew that this person had nothing to do with the loss of destiny suffered by Gu Mengyang.
But his facial features and name were absolutely incompatible—not just incompatible, but actually clashing.
With these features paired with that name, even if he were to become famous or popular, he would spend all his earnings on various matters, doomed to be a poor sod.
Gu Zhiqi planned to make some money by choosing a name for Sun Yuyang, but Sun Yuyang himself was utterly bewildered.
"No, miss, do I look like I have five million?"
Selling him would be more like it.
Gu Mengyang frowned almost imperceptibly upon hearing Sun Yuyang’s address to Gu Zhiqi.
However, Sun Yuyang’s poverty was well-known throughout the company; five million for divination was, for him, akin to betting his life on fortune-telling.
But the young lady wouldn’t be pleased until she made a sum, and after some thought, Gu Mengyang opened his mouth, "You pick one for him, I’ll pay."
President Gu actually believes in this?!
