Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Man and Jiang Zi’s gazes collided. They thought that Jiang Zi would look surprised, but who knew that he would suddenly quicken his pace and walk towards Gu Man with a fierce gaze?
Seeing this, Gu Man raised her eyebrows slightly and took a step back. She looked at the menacing Jiang Zi. She couldn’t possibly not want to do it because she had suffered here, right?
However, how could someone be so tactless as to dare to provoke Jiang Zi, who had the words “I’m not to be trifled with” written all over his head?
“Do you know how hard it was for me to stay here while you were gone? It’s been so many days, but you didn’t even look at me and left me here?” Jiang Zi’s words revealed his extreme heartache.
“But you don’t look like you’re suffering.” Gu Man sized Jiang Zi up. His face was rosy, and his footsteps were firm. She even felt that he was a little fatter than before. Jiang Zi didn’t look like he was suffering at all.
A guilty expression appeared on Jiang Zi’s face, but he quickly restrained it. “You’re so relieved to leave me here with my appearance. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be poached by others and won’t work for you?”
Gu Man ignored Jiang Zi. She saw the resentful gaze of the woman standing on the front stage behind Jiang Zi and suddenly understood that Jiang Zi’s suffering was probably because of romance. His appearance was indeed eye-catching.
“You actually ignored me. I don’t think you’re guilty at all!” Jiang Zi’s tone was aggrieved.
“No, I didn’t. What are you going downstairs for?” Gu Man cleverly changed the topic.
Sure enough, Jiang Zi followed her words and ignored what had just happened. “After being interrupted by you, I forgot that I came down to eat.”
“You can go buy me a portion. I’ll wait for you upstairs,” Gu Man said as she walked into the company.
Jiang Zi gritted his teeth in anger when he saw her carefree appearance, but he still left the company and walked out.
Gu Man walked straight to the elevator, but halfway there, she was stopped by the woman who had been standing at the front desk just now. “Miss, do you have an appointment? You’re not allowed to go upstairs without an appointment.”
Although there was no contradiction in her words, her tone revealed a tit-for-tat.
“You don’t know me?” Gu Man was a little surprised. After all, she had asked Zhang Li to gather all the employees together and they should have recognized her face. Why didn’t this employee know her?
The woman put on a fake smile. “I’m sorry, Miss. No matter who you are, you can’t go up without an appointment.”
A dark glint surged in her eyes. She stared at Gu Man’s face as if she wanted to bore a hole through it. She did not hide the jealousy in her eyes.
Jiang Zi had been in the company for so long, but she could not get Jiang Zi to look at her no matter how hard she tried. Why could this inexplicable woman still talk and laugh with Jiang Zi? She was indignant.
The woman had been recruited before Gu Man took over this company, but because she had something on, she joined a few days later and happened to miss Gu Man. Naturally, she did not know that the CEO of this company had already changed.
She only had one thought in her mind now, and that was to chase this woman out of the company. She could not let her attract Jiang Zi’s attention.
“Ha.” Gu Man crossed her arms and took out her phone to make a call.
Unexpectedly, the woman stopped her. “Miss, if you want to call, please go out and call. People who don’t have an appointment are not allowed to enter the company. Don’t make things difficult for me. This is the company’s system.”
When Gu Man heard this, the smile on her face turned even colder. “Why didn’t I know that there was such a system?”
“You’re not from this company, of course you don’t know.” The woman’s tone became impatient, and there was disgust on her face. She looked at Gu Man’s clothes without any labels and did not hide her disdain.
Any Tom, Dick, or Harry could come in. Did she really think that she could hook up with a rich husband just because she was good-looking? She even tried to hook up with Jiang Zi. She would definitely not let her in..
