After the two had dinner, they returned to the company. Gu Yanxin and Du Lei hesitated for a while at the elevator entrance. They saw women coming and going who were extremely hostile to her, as if they were just waiting to bully her, so she decided not to give in.
This is their chance.
"Take the stairs to the 22nd floor. Do you want to come with me?" Gu Yanxin looked at Du Lei, "Exercise your body. Don't tell me that you, a 23-year-old boy, can't do it."
"How is it possible? Come on." Du Lei said without hesitation, his sunny smile made Gu Yanxin feel warm in his heart. Fortunately, he met such a stupid young man, and he subconsciously grabbed Gu Yanxin's heart.
With his arm, he pulled her out towards the stairs of the safe passage, "Would you like to have a try? You are only one year older than me."
"Not today. I'm wearing high heels. I can try it tomorrow." Gu Yanxin also smiled, and the two of them entered the stairs together. "I'll bring a pair of sneakers and then compete, but you have to make me five floors up."
OK."
"Why should I let you? It's not fair." Du Lei said dissatisfied as he went up the stairs.
"You are younger than me, and you are a boy. This is what you should do." Gu Yanxin said with a smile, "It is necessary to let me, otherwise you will not be able to win even if you win."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you the third floor, no negotiation." Du Lei curled his lips and said, the greenness on his face was particularly heartwarming, "But if I win, you have to treat me to dinner."
"Okay. It's a deal." Gu Yanxin said in a good mood. After a pause, he suddenly said seriously, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be very depressed and low now, and I wouldn't be as happy as I am now.
.I don’t know if it will bring you any trouble if you treat me like this, or if someone will make irresponsible remarks behind my back."
"It doesn't matter what others say, just go your own way and let others have their say." Du Lei said nonchalantly, "Sister Gu, I quite admire you, at least since you were bullied and looked down upon in the morning.
, you don’t even look depressed, you should still smile, eat, and have fun. Most girls would have cried to death long ago, and they might have resigned."
"They just want me to resign, but I refuse to resign." Gu Yan smiled heartily, this Du Lei is really so lovable, "Don't worry, I will always be here and be myself.
If I don’t want to lose my position, I won’t let Xiao Li make mistakes, and I will never give him a chance to fire me. This is my battle, and I will not admit defeat.”
"Xiao Li...Sister Gu, Mr. Xiao treats you..." Although Du Lei looked relatively young, he was not stupid either. He immediately heard Gu Yanxin's dissatisfaction with Xiao Li's tone, "You guys
Is it... I don’t believe the rumors, but I think Mr. Xiao must have something wrong with you to be in this situation. In fact, I admire Mr. Xiao very much, and I always feel that he will not treat someone specially.
He treats people differently and will not go out of his way to cause trouble for someone. He said that he would not touch company employees, but I heard that yesterday he... kissed you in the lobby, took you to a cocktail party in the evening, and now he is indulging in company employees.
People treat you like this, I don’t know Mr. Xiao..."
"Yeah, that's what I thought originally." Gu Yanxin rudely ruined Xiao Li's reputation, "I don't know why, but he pushed me out like this. I heard it was because I looked like him.
It seemed that the two of them had a feud with someone I had met before, so Mr. Xiao took out his anger on me."
"There must be some misunderstanding in this." Du Lei said softly, frowning, "But regardless of whether there is any misunderstanding, the current situation must be changed, otherwise Sister Gu, your life will be very difficult."
"I know, but I've only been here for two days, and it's very difficult to do anything." Gu Yan sighed, "Now we can only wait and see what happens, see if we can find any breakthrough, at least find a way to make sure everyone
I have nothing to do with Mr. Xiao, so the hostility will be greatly reduced."
"Well, this is indeed a problem..."
While the two were discussing, they went upstairs. Although it took a lot of time to be out of breath, it was better for two people than to climb the stairs alone. Gu Yanxin was in a better mood under Du Lei's influence and encouragement.
, the two of them had been discussing how to resolve the situation at hand, but in the end Xu said they could only get through this week.
"There's still one more floor to go, hold on." Du Lei was young and a boy after all, and his condition was much better than Gu Yanxin's. He stood on the stairs and cheered Gu Yanxin, "Don't give up."
"There's only one floor, which is good." Gu Yanxin gritted her teeth and asked, "What exactly does the external project cooperation department do? Who does it cooperate with? What is your position in it?"
"I am the assistant minister." Du Lei introduced, "Specifically, our department is engaged in cooperative transaction projects with other companies. For example, the cooperation with Jinlong Group has been very frequent recently, but the two companies seem to be only in the name of cooperation.
To spy on the other party’s strength and strategy, at least according to our minister’s wishes, we have no intention of cooperating with the Golden Dragon Group.”
"Golden Dragon Group..." Gu Yanxin's eyes flickered. It seemed that in addition to being close and fond of each other, from another perspective, she also had to have a good relationship with Du Lei, so that she could get more information about the Golden Dragon Group.
However, there is no rush yet. Du Lei cannot let him feel that she is interfering in his work. "I heard that it is also a group with strong backstage forces. Yesterday's cocktail party was held by the president of Jinlong Group. Mr. Xiao is really not very
like him."
"Right now, I'm just following orders." Du Lei pursed his lips, opened the door, grabbed Gu Yanxin's hand, and dragged her in, who was so tired that she almost fell down, "We're here!"
"Huhu, this is too much exercise. Okay, you can go back to the office." Gu Yanxin was bent over and panting, so much so that he didn't even see the person walking towards him in the corridor.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao." Du Lei's excitement and trembling voice made Gu Yanxin stand upright suddenly. Yes, Xiao Li was now standing two meters in front of them, looking at them with squinted eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao." Gu Yanxin followed.
Xiao Li nodded, walked over two steps, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, then his eyes fell on Du Lei's hand holding Gu Yanxin, and said slowly: "You two have a good relationship?"
Du Lei and Gu Yanxin let go of each other's hands at the same time as if they were electrocuted. Du Lei quickly explained: "Mr. Xiao, Sister Gu and I are not in love. We just climbed up the stairs. Sister Gu was a little tired, so I pulled
Give him a hand."
Sure enough, Xiao Li had a great influence on Du Lei and was the object of his admiration. Just now he was talking like he was pouring beans, but now he was stuttering, as if he couldn't speak clearly.
"No?" Xiao Li asked, this time looking at Gu Yanxin.
"No, Mr. Xiao, you misunderstood. Du Lei and I have only known each other for a day. He has given me a lot of help. It is normal for friends to hold hands, isn't it?" Gu Yan said calmly, "Mr. Xiao, isn't it?
Do you mind too much?"
Xiao Li was choked and looked at Gu Yanxin with raised eyebrows.
"Besides, I read the company's rules and regulations carefully before joining the company. The company does not restrict employees from falling in love." Gu Yanxin continued, her tone very calm, just stating a normal thing.
, "So, even if Du Lei and I have something, it doesn't matter, right?"
"Of course." Xiao Li smiled and said playfully, "I just asked if you two have a good relationship. Do you want to explain so much? Who is too nervous?"
Okay, I'm back after being choked. I should have known that Xiao Li was not a good person. Every time he seemed to have the upper hand, he would overtake her every time. But no matter what, he couldn't hide his special attention to her.
Could he stop paying so much attention to himself?
"Mr. Xiao..."
"Really Xiao Du? Don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually. You can go back to work." Xiao Li said, waving his hand for Du Lei to leave first. Du Lei looked at Gu Yanxin worriedly, walked over slowly, and listened.
Let’s talk until Xiao Li, “Accompany me tonight to meet Nathan Field, and of course his son, your old acquaintance Mr. Mo Yan.”
"Sister Ting is more suitable. I'd better not go." Du Lei heard Gu Yanxin's refusal without any hesitation and sighed. It seems that Mr. Xiao really came to Gu Yanxin. How should he help her?
"Don't go? Do you have the final say?" Xiao Li asked, "I am your boss, and you must carry out my orders. You have to go even if you don't want to go. You have to think carefully about it. Otherwise, if you want to create a place where you can go to work in just two days, you will have to go."
Is there a history of being fired? The Shaw Group has never had such an employee record.”
"Okay." Gu Yanxin suppressed his anger, "You can go if you say so, okay, no problem."
"Well, what the company wants is absolute obedience to orders." Xiao Li nodded with satisfaction.
"So, will my clothes be reimbursed by the company? I only have business clothes, and I don't have that many clothes for meeting guests." Gu Yanxin said without any limit, "Will Mr. Xiao still buy it for me?"
"Of course, I like to accompany beautiful women to buy clothes." Xiao Li said extremely frivolously, "But I have to deal with some things in the office this afternoon."
"Yes." Gu Yanxin followed Xiao Li to the secretary's office and once again accepted the attention of everyone who saw him. After Du Lei finally adjusted his mood, he suddenly became very depressed again.
"Du Lei is one year younger than you." Xiao Li suddenly said at the door of the company, "Do you want an old cow to eat young grass?"
For a moment, Gu Yanxin really wanted to scream. She took a deep breath several times before she managed to hold it back. She looked directly into Xiao Li's eyes and said, "Yes, I like young grass. It's best to be like Du."
Lei, a college student who has just graduated. It’s not like you don’t know, Mr. Xiao, that when you were in the club, you would see those arrogant bosses and CEOs every day and it would be very disgusting."
"What a venomous little mouth." Xiao Li turned around and gently pinched Gu Yanxin's chin, "But it's still very tempting. I like it very much."
Go to hell, Gu Yanxin turned his head fiercely, broke away from Xiao Li's hand, and made a gesture: "Mr. Xiao, please."
