Gu Yannian was quite disappointed after being rebuffed by Professor Qin. However, he decided to end his vacation early and go back to work.

He left suddenly and hasn't contacted Su Yanxi since. Su Yanxi must be very worried.

Furthermore, after hearing what Li Wei said, he also wanted to apologize to Su Yanxi.

Although this apology comes a little too late.

Gu Yannian drove all night and finally returned to F City in the early hours of the morning. After driving for several hours straight, Gu Yannian was exhausted, so she found a 24-hour convenience store, got out of the car to buy a bottle of water, and took a break.

Suddenly, a noise came from inside the convenience store.

Gu Yannian turned around at the sound and saw bread scattered all over the ground, with an employee squatting on the ground frantically cleaning it up.

Upon seeing this, the cashier quickly stepped forward to help.

Gu Yannian glanced at it, then looked away, threw the empty water bottle into the trash can, got into her car, and drove away.

In a convenience store.

Zhang Hong, the cashier, kept muttering, "You keep making mistakes on the night shift, Li Xiang. You can't keep going like this. I've told you before, you can't fight city hall. I told you to apologize to the manager, but you wouldn't. If this keeps up, I don't think you'll keep your job."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang stopped picking up the bread, his expression filled with resentment.

The reason he knocked over the bread basket was because he saw Gu Yannian when he came out of the warehouse.

He didn't want Gu Yannian to see him, so he tried to hide back in the warehouse. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he bumped into a basket, knocking over the bread that was about to be put on the shelf.

"Luckily, the bread was all in bags, otherwise you would have had to pay for the whole basket of bread yourself."

After picking up all the bread, Zhang Hong spoke again.

Li Xiang, who had been silent all along, suddenly erupted in anger: "Can you fucking shut up!"

Then, Li Xiang stood up, walked out of the convenience store without looking back, and went outside to smoke.

Seeing this, Zhang Hong muttered a couple of irritating words, got up, went back to the cashier, and started playing on his phone.

Standing outside smoking, Li Xiang gritted his teeth with hatred as he thought of Gu Yannian driving that luxury car earlier.

After causing such a scene at China Telecom, news of their actions spread to other companies even before they left the company. He went for job interviews at other companies but was repeatedly rejected. Eventually, he had no choice but to seek help from his uncle.

Unexpectedly, his uncle, who had previously used connections to get him a job, stopped paying attention to him. He visited several times, but not only did he not get to see him, he wasn't even offered a glass of water.

He thought being unable to find a job was bad enough, but his wife found out about his harassment of a female colleague. She made a huge fuss and divorced him, then took their child and went back to her hometown.

He finally found a job at a convenience store, but because he offended the store manager, he was targeted by the manager and was assigned to the night shift every day.

The disparity between his life and work had already plunged Li Xiang into daily despair and pain. Gu Yannian, with her glamorous attire and luxury car, only exacerbated his feelings of loss and suffering!

His miserable life today is all thanks to Gu Yannian!

Why is he living such a miserable life while Gu Yannian is living such a comfortable one?

Li Xiang threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it a few times, and stared at the street corner where Gu Yannian had left, gritting his teeth inwardly.

He will make Gu Yannian pay the price!

……

The next day.

After washing up, Gu Yannian changed into a clean suit and went to the company.

Upon receiving Gu Yannian's message, Cui Xiu'e rushed to the office. Seeing that Gu Yannian had indeed returned, she breathed a sigh of relief: "President Gu, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, we would have called the police."

"Why are you calling the police? Didn't I tell you I was going to ask for leave?"

"But we haven't been able to get in touch with you."

"My phone is broken, and I'm too lazy to fix it. Is there anything I need from the company?"

"Everything's fine at the company, nothing's wrong. It's just that Changfeng Group has been looking for you several times!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yannian knew that Su Yanxi was looking for her and wanted Cui Xiu'e to help her cancel her leave. After sending Cui Xiu'e away, Gu Yannian called Su Yanxi.

The call was quickly answered, and Gu Yannian's heart tightened. She took the initiative to speak: "Yanxi, I'm sorry, I'm back."

There was complete silence on the other end of the phone; not a sound could be heard.

"Yan Xi, Yan Xi?"

"It's me, Shen Shi'an."

Upon hearing Shen Shi'an's voice, Gu Yannian frowned slightly: "Why is it you? Where is Yan Xi?"

"The stream is resting, is there something you need?"

"Since Yanxi is resting, I'll call back later."

Gu Yannian had no interest in chatting with Shen Shi'an and was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait a moment."

Shen Shi'an called out to Gu Yannian: "Gu Yannian, I have something to say to you."

"what do you want to say?"

"Gu Yannian, can't you be a little more mature? You're an adult now, can you stop disappearing all the time?" Shen Shi'an's tone was cold, completely lacking his usual gentleness.

"It's none of your business how I conduct myself."

"You think I want to interfere in your affairs? I just don't want to see Xiaoxi worrying because of you. Gu Yannian, don't you think what you're doing is despicable?"

"What happens between Yan Xi and me is none of your business. Shen Shi'an, if you just want to lecture me, then I advise you to save your breath. I don't have time to listen to your long-winded rant."

Gu Yannian hung up the phone after speaking, deciding to go find Su Yanxi after get off work. He refused to believe that Shen Shi'an could stop him.

Shen Shi'an stared at the disconnected phone, gritted his teeth, deleted the call log, and then put the phone back on his desk.

Gu Yannian is back.

It won't be long before Su Yanxi finds out about this.

He could intercept the call while Su Yanxi was in a meeting, but if Gu Yannian came over later, could he still stop Su Yanxi from seeing him?

No, he needs to come up with a plan!

Shen Shi'an's first thought was Wang Jiaojiao. Since they were business partners, Wang Jiaojiao should also offer advice and suggestions.

Wang Jiaojiao received a call from Shen Shi'an, and after hearing his demands, she hung up the phone in anger.

She was overjoyed when Gu Yannian returned. However, she keenly sensed that Gu Yannian seemed to know something and had an unusually strong urge to see Su Yanxi.

Shen Shi'an asked her to find a way to stop it. What methods could she come up with?

Just as Wang Jiaojiao was about to get into the car, she caught a glimpse of a furtive figure in the parking lot out of the corner of her eye.

The figure kept staring at Gu Yannian until Gu Yannian left, and the figure remained standing there for a long time.

Wang Jiaojiao got into the car with doubts in her mind. When she passed that figure, she kept an eye on him and took another look.

Why does this person look so familiar to her?
