Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

The two slept very well at night. As for how Lian Qingyang ended up in Gu Quechen's arms in the morning, and how Gu Quechen's hand ended up on Lian Qingyang's waist, the two tacitly ignored the question, got up, washed, ate, and went to work.

Because Lian Qingyang was here today, Gu Quechen made a more sumptuous breakfast than usual, with both Chinese and Western styles. He then carefully observed which one Lian Qingyang preferred, so as to understand his preferences.

Secretly remembering that he liked soup dumplings and sweet porridge, Lian Qingyang had almost finished his breakfast. He touched his somewhat bloated stomach, tilted his head back to look at Gu Quechen who was cleaning the kitchen, and said slowly: "I haven't been to the company so early for several days. Alas, it's really hard to go from extravagance to frugality. I can still take a nap at this time."

Gu Quechen took out a tissue and wiped the remaining water stains on his hands, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can. He walked a few steps to Lian Qingyang, pinched his soft earlobe, and said something rather ruthless with a faint smile on his lips: "Pack up and go. I have a mission for you to do when you get there."

"Wow! Are you so brazen about depriving me of my free time now?" Lian Qingyang sat up straight and slapped his hand off his ear. "Although we're friends privately, we're still a superior-subordinate relationship at work. You can't confuse work and personal life and exploit an intern's labor during work hours!"

Gu Quechen had already walked to the entrance and changed his shoes after he finished speaking. Hearing this, he looked up at him with amusement while tying his tie and said casually, "Then I'll make you a regular employee in advance. This way I can exploit you openly."

After getting up so early, the two of them didn't feel sleepy or tired at all when they went out. They were full of energy as if they were going on a trip. They arrived at the company smoothly. The others didn't come as usual, so Lian Qingyang followed Gu Quechen to the office to look at the documents.

As soon as the alarm on his phone rang at 8:30, Lian Qingyang closed the document and waved to Gu Quechen: "Manager Gu, I'm going out first. Feel free to message me if you have anything else!"

Lian Qingyang opened the door yawning, and was startled when he saw the figure outside. His jaw almost dislocated. He raised his hand to rub it, grinning and said, "Brother Xu, you're here so early? Are you looking for Manager Gu? He's in there."

The employee named Xu gave him an awkward smile, said "thank you" and walked past him. Lian Qingyang glanced inside and happened to meet Gu Quechen's gaze. He raised the corners of his mouth and then lowered them, closing the door from the outside.

If I remember correctly, that employee was the first one to ask him to send Gu Quechen off last night. He was probably shocked by his own heroic behavior this morning and came to apologize to Gu Quechen this morning.

He shrugged and returned to his seat, propping up his head and continuing to flip through the documents. He saw Xia Xunyang coming over. Xia Xunyang patted him on the shoulder and asked with concern, "How were you last night? Was Manager Gu taking good care of you? Did he do anything to you?"

Lian Qingyang remained motionless, looking sideways at him, and spoke weakly, "It's okay, he's just drunk, that's all, nothing serious."

"Oh, that's fine. I was worried that your small body couldn't support Manager Gu." Xia Xunyang sat back in his chair and said casually.

Lian Qingyang widened his eyes and lowered his head to look at himself. In this world, he was at least over 1.8 meters tall, had abdominal muscles, long legs, a narrow waist and broad shoulders. How could he be considered small?

Xia Xunyang also glanced at Lian Qingyang and added, "Compared to Manager Gu."

After that day, the two of them communicated more frequently on the phone. The ambiguity between them, which they knew each other well but did not make it clear, lasted for almost half a year. However, Lian Qingyang never went to Gu Quechen's apartment during this period. The only time they spent alone together was more than half an hour before and after get off work.

At work, the two of them only assigned and received tasks, and got along normally like ordinary superiors and subordinates. However, this had already attracted the attention of many employees, and most of them believed that Lian Qingyang's regularization was a foregone conclusion. After all, it was Manager Gu who gave Lian Qingyang the task directly, bypassing Supervisor Zhou, and Lian Qingyang was rarely scolded out of the office.

As a result, the competition for the other spot is inevitably more intense, especially in the last month of the assessment. Every intern is very focused and does not need Zhou Paopi to urge them to do anything.

The only one who was relatively relaxed was Xiao Zhang. He pretended to be very serious on the surface and actively took on work tasks. Not only did he drag his feet on a task for a whole day, but the content he submitted was also very perfunctory. Sometimes he even tried hard to please other employees, but secretly cursed them for looking down on him.

Xiao Zhang said that even though there was only one spot left, Manager Zhou had already said the position was 100% his, so why bother doing such thankless work that would get him scolded? He could just do it for the sake of it. Once he became a full-time employee, he could even kick out the greasy and arrogant Manager Zhou. That wasn't a good idea either. He'd taken the bait with a few casual hints. He wasn't even that good-looking. If it weren't for the spot, he wouldn't have looked down on that person.

He secretly planned that the next step after becoming an employee would be to use the convenience of his job to get close to Manager Gu. He had heard that Manager Gu's family was actually very wealthy, and this company was most likely part of the Gu family. If he could get close to Manager Gu, he might even be able to work for the Gu Group. As for Manager Gu, he looked very boring and probably not very capable.

Xiao Zhang not only used his brain to think about these things, he also created a special document to plan these things and saved it on his computer. This was a serious matter, as Xiao Jiu, who came to monitor Zhou Paopi and Xiao Zhang's electronic devices, discovered it as soon as he scanned it.

At 8:30 in the evening, Lian Qingyang, who had just finished showering, leaned his head against his computer and stared at it for a long time. He didn't even have time to reply to the message Gu Quechen sent him. Then he pointed at the document on the screen and said to Xiaojiu in disbelief, "You mean he didn't want to mess with me, but wanted to mess with my girlfriend?"

Xiaojiu thought carefully and realized that the two identical words had different meanings. He jumped onto the table and nodded to Lian Qingyang.

Lian Qingyang, who had been accumulating good stuff about Zhou Paopi and Xiao Zhang for half a year, was ready to fight. He rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists and said firmly: "If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone tries to steal my corner, I will definitely give him apples, pineapples and cantaloupes!"

Lian Qingyang's father, who was passing by his room, happened to hear the shouts for fruit. He went into the bedroom and lay on the bed, then told Lian's mother, "Remember, when we go to the supermarket tomorrow, we'll buy some apples, pineapples, and cantaloupes. Our son wants to eat them."

"Okay." Lian's mother turned around and casually replied while looking at her phone, "It's your turn to cook tomorrow morning. Remember to set the alarm."
