Night Fire Lingering

He was completely out of control with his facial expressions.

Wait, how did Wen Yan's phone end up in President Gu's office?!

Even a place like an office desk!

Gu Yanci tapped the tabletop casually with his fingertips, making no sound, but it made Sun Xingbai's heart pound with fear.

Zhou Qi felt a bit sorry for Sun Xingbo, and he reasonably suspected that his boss was doing it on purpose!

“Attorney Sun, as far as I know, interns aren’t eligible for triple pay for working overtime on weekends, right?” Gu Yanci asked.

Sun Xingbo nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes! It was my fault for disturbing my colleagues' weekend rest time. I'm so sorry, so very sorry!"

Gu Yanci received a satisfactory answer and glanced at Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi opened the door to the president's office: "Thank you for your hard work, Attorney Sun. The interview is over. Let me see you out."

……

The lounge has excellent soundproofing.

Wen Yan pressed her face against the door but couldn't hear anything. As she waited, she got a little bored and thought of taking out her phone to play with.

She then realized that she had left her phone on Gu Yanci's desk and hadn't brought it in during her haste!

The lounge was about 30 square meters and contained only a bed and a clothes rack. The bed was made neatly with gray and black sheets, which Gu Yanci liked. A spare suit and a spare set of casual clothes were hanging on the clothes rack.

At first glance, there is nothing superfluous about it, just like Gu Yanci himself—boring.

Wen Yan couldn't help but wonder what Gu Yanci had said to Wen Muzhi at the Wen family villa that day that made Wen Muzhi cry and break down.

So curious!

I wanted to ask Gu Yanci, but today wasn't the right day. This was an ominous place, not a place to linger!

I don't know how much time passed before the room door was opened from the outside.

As soon as Gu Yanci opened the door, he saw the woman nervously staring with wide eyes. When she saw it was him, she breathed a sigh of relief, like a cat that had done something wrong but was trying to appear calm.

A smile flickered in Gu Yanci's eyes.

He suddenly felt that the lounge was a good place to have sex with Wen Yan; he had never tried such a place before.

"They're gone?" Wen Yan went out only after not hearing any noise outside.

She grabbed her phone and left immediately.

As for Wen Muzhi, forget it, leaving the Gu Group building is the most important thing!

"Madam, let me see you out." Zhou Qi met Wen Yan, who was walking out quickly, at the door.

Wen Yan didn't need him to escort her, but Zhou Qi dutifully followed along.

Wen Yan couldn't help but complain: "Why is Sun Xingbo doing an interview on a Sunday? Doesn't he get a day off? Don't the clients' lives matter?"

“Madam, Mr. Gu is unavailable next week and can only schedule it for the weekend. In accordance with labor law, we will pay overtime compensation.” Zhou Qi said with a smile, “But don’t worry, Madam, Mr. Gu has subtly reminded Attorney Sun that interns do not receive overtime pay and should not be exploited by working overtime on weekends.”

Wen Yan: "?"

For a moment, she didn't know whether to be shocked that Gu Yanci knew how to write the word 'tactful', or to be shocked that Gu Yanci was acting strangely and suddenly brought up the topic of interns out of the blue.

But when the elevator arrived, Wen Yan didn't want to linger, so she left immediately without asking any questions.

After leaving the Gu Group building and getting into a taxi, feeling safe, Wen Yan reopened her phone and subconsciously pulled up her call log to see the call from Jiang Huaixu.

And then I saw the result!

Why isn't Jiang Huaixu listed at the top of the recent calls list anymore?!

Why did it become "Jinhe-Sun Xingbo"?!

I even made two calls!

Wen Yan stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the person who had come just twenty minutes ago, when she was hiding in Gu Yanci's lounge, and when Sun Xingbai was interviewing Gu Yanci!

Did Sun Xingbo call Gu Yanci in front of her?

Wouldn't that mean the phone would ring right in front of Sun Xingbo?

No wonder Zhou Qi said that Gu Yanci reminded Sun Xingbai!

No, is Gu Yanci sick?

What random reminders is he giving?

Can't he say that he found the phone?

He's usually not very talkative and not very warm-hearted!

"Young lady, what's wrong?" The driver saw Wen Yan panting heavily with anger in the rearview mirror and held back his question.

Wen Yan took a deep breath, controlled her emotions, and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just ran into a lunatic on the weekend!"

The driver chuckled and said, "Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"

Wen Yan wanted to say no, but then thought better of it and decided against it.

She is tired.

so tired!

-

Wen Yan originally thought that if Sun Xingbo knew, so be it; if he suspected, so be it. It wouldn't have much of an impact, since Sun Xingbo was currently stationed at the Gu Group because of the Mingke project team and was not in the law firm's office.

Unexpectedly, I saw Sun Xingbo in the office as soon as I arrived at work on Monday!

Sun Xingbo had just finished reporting his work and came out of the partner's office when he saw Wen Yan. He was clearly taken aback for a moment, then smiled warmly.

"Xiao Wen, how have you been lately?" Sun Xingbai was still terrified when he recalled those two phone calls, fearing that Wen Yan would whisper in Gu Yanci's ear. He planned to seize the opportunity to repair his relationship with Wen Yan.

"It's fine." Wen Yan's reaction was indifferent; she didn't want to say another word to him.

The best thing to do is to pretend that the two phone calls yesterday never happened!

Wen Yan returned to her seat and turned on her computer.

Sun Xingbo caught up with him, took out the interview list, and said, "What were your considerations when you drafted this question? These two words don't seem to be English, do they? During yesterday's interview, President Gu was quite interested in this question and even asked about it specifically."

This person really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics!

Sun Xingbo is the leader. Wen Yan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "This is a German abbreviation. Because the Mintech acquisition involved German companies, we considered this issue at the time."

Sun Xingbo lowered his voice and leaned closer to ask Wen Yan, "Xiao Wen, you and President Gu..."

"It's nothing!" Wen Yan's gaze was indifferent and cold. "If you're interested, you can ask him."

This was the first time Sun Xingbai had seen such a look in the eyes of a young woman in her early twenties, and she even seemed somewhat familiar with Gu Yanci.

Sun Xingbo stiffened, then smiled and said, "No, I'm not interested. I was just asking casually."

Ye Sisi sat at the workstation next to Wen Yan, watching her boyfriend whispering with another woman who was prettier than her, her eyes burning with jealousy.

When Wen Yan got up to go to the restroom, Ye Sisi stood up and followed her.

As soon as Wen Yan came out of the cubicle, Ye Sisi blocked her way.

"Wen Yan, Sun Xingbo is my boyfriend. I ask you to stay away from my boyfriend!" Ye Sisi warned.

Wen Yan couldn't understand why she had encountered so many upsetting things and crazy people lately!

"Ye Sisi, I only said those two sentences to Sun Lu just now. Which eye of yours thinks I'm close to your boyfriend? Wake up, your precious man, I don't even want him!"

"you--!"

These words made it sound like she treasured some kind of junk. Ye Si wanted to curse, but Wen Yan actually pushed her away and left!
