After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

Because the head office suddenly came to audit the accounts, all sorts of rumors circulated within the company, causing widespread panic.

When Gu Yannian arrived at the cafeteria, the once bustling place instantly fell silent, as if the previous chatter had been a hallucination. Gu Yannian knew perfectly well what had happened. Unless the audit was over and the company's operations returned to normal, anything he said would be useless.

After getting his food, Gu Yannian chose a corner to sit down and began to eat. Wang Jiaojiao also sat down opposite Gu Yannian with her tray. Watching Gu Yannian engrossed in his food, Wang Jiaojiao sighed softly, "Brother Yannian, have I caused you any trouble?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Is it because of me that Su Yanxi came to Tianyi to check the accounts?"

Meeting Gu Yannian's gaze, Wang Jiaojiao said sadly, "At first, I didn't think that way. Later, when I went to the personnel department to submit some documents, I overheard them talking and saying that today's audit was completely sudden."

So I'm wondering if Su Yanxi doesn't want me at Tianyi, and is using the pretext of auditing the accounts to deliberately target me? If that's really the case, I can resign.

If this situation had happened back then, Wang Jiaojiao would have already spoken ill of Su Yanxi to Gu Yannian. But so many years have passed, and Wang Jiaojiao has changed. Taking a step back to advance is the best approach!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gu Yannian put down her chopsticks: "That's not how it is, don't overthink it. Even if it really is because of you, it has nothing to do with you. I was the one who approved your entry into the company, so I'll take full responsibility for any mistakes!"

"That's true, but I'm worried about your plans. You've put so much effort into the company, and now that it's been delayed like this, I'm afraid all your hard work will be wasted."

It's said that the beginning is always the hardest, and Gu Yannian has had a good start in the energy sector, so striking while the iron is hot is the best course of action. Now, due to the audit, all company accounts are frozen, and projects that were originally scheduled to proceed must naturally be put on hold. Although the audit shouldn't take long, at this critical juncture, every day of delay adds another layer of uncertainty.

Once the audit is over, the project might very well fall through!

"I'll handle these things, so don't worry about it. Alright, I'm full. You can continue eating by yourself." Gu Yannian lost her appetite, cleared her plate, and left the cafeteria.

Watching Gu Yannian's departing figure, Wang Jiaojiao leisurely began to eat. She intended to gradually erode Su Yanxi's standing in Gu Yannian's heart until their relationship completely crumbled!

into the night.

Su Yanxi sat downstairs for a long time. She came to Tianyu after get off work, but hadn't gone upstairs yet. But Gu Yannian still hadn't returned.

Where did Gu Yannian go? Is she with Wang Jiaojiao?

This was the first time Su Yanxi felt lost.

She hated Gu Yannian's heartlessness and departure without saying goodbye back then, but it was precisely because of Gu Yannian's departure that she realized how much Gu Yannian meant to her. She searched for Gu Yannian for a long time and finally found her, and managed to keep her by her side.

Although keeping her by her side in this way wasn't quite right, she couldn't think of any other way. Because she didn't know what Gu Yannian really thought of her.

But now, Su Yanxi really didn't know how to continue. In front of Gu Yannian, she was always the weaker one!

Is it time to give up?

Su Yanxi sighed and stood up to leave. But as soon as she turned around, she froze. Gu Yannian was standing under a streetlamp, carrying a takeout bag.

Upon seeing Gu Yannian, Su Yanxi felt a moment of panic, but she quickly regained her composure.

However, this composure quickly dissipated as Gu Yannian approached. Just as Su Yanxi was feeling nervous, Gu Yannian took her hand and led her into the apartment building.

It wasn't until she entered the house with Gu Yannian that Su Yanxi came to her senses. Gu Yannian wasn't angry with her anymore?

After entering the house, Gu Yannian released Su Yanxi and went straight to the kitchen. She put the packed food on a plate and then invited Su Yanxi to eat: "I went to the supermarket late today, and the vegetables weren't very fresh, so I didn't buy any. I got some takeout from the restaurant on the way back, so let's make do with this for tonight."

Su Yanxi sat down at the table, pursing her lips. She stared at Gu Yannian, who had already started eating, for a long time before finally speaking up: "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

"Yes, I have a lot to say. But on the way back, I thought about a lot more. Jiaojiao's situation was indeed my fault, and I should have told you immediately. If I had told you immediately, you might not be so angry."

However, I hope that in the future, no matter what happens between us, we can be more open and honest, and not keep everything bottled up inside. I hope that things like what happened today will never happen again.

Gu Yannian spoke earnestly. His relationship with Su Yanxi had always been tense, but they both intentionally ignored it. However, if this tension wasn't eliminated, it would hurt them both if anything happened.

"Are you so sure I deliberately caused this mess because I was angry?"

"If you're not angry, then you're jealous!" Gu Yannian pretended to be relaxed: "But I can understand. After all, I'm so handsome and popular, it's understandable that you're worried. Don't worry, you're my sugar daddy now, and no one can compare to your importance in my heart."

In the end, Gu Yannian even stood up and, imitating the heroines in European and American movies, lifted her non-existent skirt and bowed to Su Yanxi.

This scene successfully amused Su Yanxi, and the confusion she had felt earlier vanished.

She recalled the past, the days when she was kept by Gu Yannian. Gu Yannian would always make her angry, but after making her angry, he would try his best to make her laugh.

"How old are you? Still so childish!"

Su Yanxi smiled as she spoke. After Gu Yannian sat down again, Su Yanxi continued, "The audit was indeed the board's decision."

I admit I deliberately didn't tell you about Wang Jiaojiao's situation. But don't worry, I'll speak with the auditing department and have them complete the audit as quickly as possible. Afterwards, if there are any problems with your project, the head office will do its best to help.

"it is good."

Gu Yannian also breathed a sigh of relief; he was satisfied that he hadn't fallen out with Su Yanxi.

After dinner, Gu Yannian went to wash up first, while Su Yanxi went to the balcony to call Zhao Xu.

"Mr. Su, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Go and find out where Wang Jiaojiao has been all these years abroad."
