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

Wang Jiaojiao knocked on the office door, but after waiting for a while, she didn't hear Gu Yannian call out to her. Seeing this, Wang Jiaojiao simply opened the door and went in.

The office was empty; Gu Yannian wasn't there.

Wang Jiaojiao placed the documents that needed her signature on the desk and was about to leave. But just as she was about to go, she caught a glimpse of the trash can next to the desk and stopped in her tracks.

When Wang Jiaojiao went over to take a look, she discovered that the trash can contained the gifts that had been sent from Changfeng.

Wang Jiaojiao remembered that she was the one who gave this gift to Gu Yannian. At the time, Gu Yannian had put the gift in a drawer. Why did Gu Yannian throw it away today?

Zhang Xiao said that this was specially prepared by General Manager Shen of Changfeng.

What exactly does Gu Yannian mean by this?

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door, and a moment later, Gu Yannian walked in: "Jiaojiao, it's you?"

"Brother Yan Nian, I'm here to deliver some documents to you. There are a few documents here that need your signature."

Wang Jiaojiao snapped out of her daze and smiled at Gu Yannian.

"it is good."

Gu Yannian nodded and immediately sat back down to start processing the documents.

Wang Jiaojiao remembered the discarded gifts in the trash can and walked to Gu Yannian's side: "Brother Yannian, there's a place here that you need to take a close look at."

Wang Jiaojiao pointed to a section of the document and gave a special reminder.

"Okay, I understand. I'll look at it carefully. Put it here for now, you can go out now!"

"Ah."

Wang Jiaojiao nodded, and while Gu Yannian's attention was on the documents, she quietly took the documents from the desk to the floor as she turned around.

"Oh dear, I was so careless. I'm so sorry, Brother Yan Nian, I didn't mean to."

Seeing the document fall to the ground, Wang Jiaojiao feigned remorse and apologized.

"It's okay, you can get ready."

Gu Yannian glanced up and, seeing that it wasn't anything important, didn't pursue the matter further.

"it is good."

Wang Jiaojiao responded and began tidying up the documents on the floor. When she got to the trash can, Wang Jiaojiao pretended to be surprised, as if she was seeing the gift in the trash can for the first time, and stood up: "Brother Yan Nian, isn't this a gift from Changfeng? Why did you throw it away? Don't you like it?"

Upon hearing Wang Jiaojiao's question, Gu Yannian's expression instantly turned ugly.

He hadn't even opened the gift, and didn't know what was inside, so how could he talk about liking or disliking it?

The reason he lost the gift was because it was a gift from Shen Shi'an.

The thought of Shen Shi'an made Gu Yannian feel extremely uncomfortable. That's why he chose to throw away the gift.

However, he naturally couldn't tell Wang Jiaojiao these things.

"You probably threw it away by mistake when you were packing up."

As Gu Yannian spoke, she picked the gift out of the trash can and placed it on her desk.

"Then you'd better be careful. This gift is, after all, a token of Mr. Shen's goodwill. If the people from Changfeng find out, they'll think you're disrespecting Mr. Shen."

Wang Jiaojiao had already noticed that Gu Yannian was acting strangely, but she pretended not to know. After teasing Gu Yannian, she left the office.

When leaving, Wang Jiaojiao was extra careful and left a crack in the door when she closed it.

Sure enough, when she peeked through the crack in the door...

It was discovered that Gu Yannian had thrown the gift she had just picked up from the trash can back into the trash can. Not only that, but to prevent others from finding out, Gu Yannian also tore off a few sheets of A4 paper and threw them into the trash can to cover the gift inside.

Having witnessed this, Wang Jiaojiao quietly returned to her office.

Wang Jiaojiao had already inquired, and confirmed that all the gifts Shen Shi'an prepared were identical, differing only in gender, not in rank. Gu Yannian losing the gift couldn't be due to the gift itself. If it wasn't the gift, then it could only be because of the person who gave it!

But isn't Shen Shi'an still abroad?

Wang Jiaojiao thought for a while, then opened the company's address book and found Shen Shi'an's phone number. After hesitating for a long time, she dialed it.

The call was quickly connected, and a gentle voice came through: "Hello."

"Hello senior, I'm Wang Jiaojiao. Do you remember me?"

Upon hearing this name, Shen Shi'an, who was having dinner with Su Yanxi, was slightly taken aback.

Su Yanxi noticed Shen Shi'an's unusual behavior and gave him an inquiring look.

Shen Shi'an smiled at Su Yanxi, indicating that he was alright, and continued calmly, "Is there something you need?"

"There are some things I'd like to discuss with you, senior. Is it a convenient time for you to take the call?"

"Okay, I got it. See you at seven tonight, okay?"

How about we meet tonight?

Has Shen Shi'an returned to China?

No wonder Gu Yannian threw away the gift; she must have found out about Shen Shi'an's return to China!

Wang Jiaojiao felt a little excited, but tried her best to keep her tone calm: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the Find the Way Cafe at seven o'clock tonight. See you there!"

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Shi'an placed it on the table: "Xiaoxi, I have an appointment to meet a friend tonight, so I won't be able to have dinner with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi had no doubts whatsoever; on the contrary, she felt relieved.

After Gu Yannian left yesterday, she hadn't had a chance to look for him. Tonight, Shen Shi'an is going to see a friend, so she can go find Gu Yannian.

Thinking of this, Su Yanxi nodded: "Okay, do you need me to take you there?"

"No need, I can go by myself. Let's eat."

"Ah."

after get off work.

After saying goodbye to Gu Yannian, Wang Jiaojiao drove towards the coffee shop.

When Wang Jiaojiao arrived, Shen Shi'an hadn't arrived yet. After finding a seat, Wang Jiaojiao was about to call Shen Shi'an to ask where he was when he walked in.

Upon seeing Shen Shi'an, Wang Jiaojiao extended her hand in greeting, "Senior, I'm here."

Shen Shi'an followed the sound and sat down in front of Wang Jiaojiao.

"Senior, it's been a long time."

Wang Jiaojiao gave Shen Shi'an a bright smile.

Shen Shi'an glanced at Wang Jiaojiao's smile but didn't answer immediately. Instead, he ordered himself a coffee. After the coffee arrived, Shen Shi'an spoke slowly, "Yes, it's been a long time. Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"

During his university years, Shen Shi'an was always polite and courteous to everyone. However, he treated Gu Yannian and Wang Jiaojiao poorly. The reason was simple: Gu Yannian was the one who was keeping Su Yanxi as a mistress, and Wang Jiaojiao was the one who bullied Su Yanxi.

Wang Jiaojiao was well aware of this.

However, she didn't care about Shen Shi'an's attitude at all and got straight to the point: "Senior, shall we join forces?"
