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

The next day.

Gu Yannian needed to go out to discuss a collaboration and needed to bring an employee from the planning department with her. So Gu Yannian entrusted this task to Wang Jiaojiao, asking her to go and call one over.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiaojiao went to the office area and called Sun Xiaoxi.

Upon hearing that she was to go out with Gu Yannian to discuss a collaboration, Sun Xiaoxi was surprised and somewhat flustered: "Did President Gu ask me to go?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Wang Jiaojiao asked. "If you don't want to go, then I'll ask someone else."

"I wanna go!"

As if afraid that Wang Jiaojiao would change her mind, Sun Xiaoxi couldn't wait to say that she was willing to go.

"Alright, then pack your things and come with me."

"it is good."

Sun Xiaoxi responded, packed her things, and followed Wang Jiaojiao.

Upon arriving at the office, Wang Jiaojiao told Sun Xiaoxi to wait outside while she went in to speak with Gu Yannian. Sun Xiaoxi nodded and obediently waited outside.

"President Gu, we've found the person, and they're waiting for you at the office door right now," Wang Jiaojiao reported to Gu Yannian as soon as she entered the office.

"Hmm." Gu Yannian stood up and asked another question, "Who did you call from the planning department?"

"Sun Xiaoxi!"

Upon hearing the name, Gu Yannian was taken aback, then looked up at Wang Jiaojiao: "Why did you decide to call her?"

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Wang Jiaojiao pretended not to know. She actually didn't want to invite Sun Xiaoxi either, but Shen Shi'an repeatedly instructed her to give Gu Yannian and Sun Xiaoxi more time to spend together, so she had no choice but to make this arrangement.

"No, it's nothing."

Gu Yannian shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine. Perhaps it was because of what Su Yanxi had said last night that he had some reservations about Sun Xiaoxi. But now that she was already here, he couldn't ask her to go back.

"Alright, I'm going now. Remember to contact me if anything comes up at the company."

"it is good."

Wang Jiaojiao watched Gu Yannian leave the office, then walked towards the elevator with Sun Xiaoxi.

the other side.

Sun Xiaoxi secretly sized up Gu Yannian, who was driving. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he seemed, and the more her heart fluttered.

If she could bring Gu Yannian home, she would be the envy of everyone.

"You're new to the company and not familiar with the business yet. When you get there, just talk less and take good notes, okay?"

Gu Yannian was a little worried about Sun Xiaoxi, so he gave her a special reminder. But after he finished speaking, he didn't hear a reply from Sun Xiaoxi for a long time.

Gu Yannian frowned slightly and turned to look at Sun Xiaoxi, who seemed lost in thought.

"Xiaoxi, Sun Xiaoxi!"

"what?"

Sun Xiaoxi came to her senses, looking somewhat bewildered.

Didn't you hear what I just said?

Gu Yannian was somewhat displeased. How could this work attitude be so negligent?

Sensing Gu Yannian's displeasure, Sun Xiaoxi immediately explained, "President Gu, I heard everything you said. I was just feeling a little unwell, so I couldn't answer in time. I'll be more careful next time!"

"Not feeling well? What's wrong with you?"

Hearing that Sun Xiaoxi wasn't feeling well, Gu Yannian asked, "Should I take you to the hospital?"

"No need, I'm just a little dizzy, I'll be fine after a rest."

"Okay, you can rest first. I'll call you when we get there."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

After thanking him, Sun Xiaoxi leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. She could hear that Gu Yannian had deliberately closed her window, afraid that she would be exposed to the wind.

This thoughtful gesture undoubtedly earned him even more points in Sun Xiaoxi's eyes.

Upon arriving at the other company, Gu Yannian woke up Sun Xiaoxi and took her upstairs together.

In the conference room, Gu Yannian specially asked the receptionist of the other company to prepare a cup of hot water for Sun Xiaoxi, and then discussed the relevant matters of cooperation with the other company's director.

Looking at the hot water in front of her, Sun Xiaoxi felt as if her heart had been melted by the heat.

Gu Yannian is so busy, yet she still remembered that she said she felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

As Sun Xiaoxi took notes, she gazed at Gu Yannian, who was speaking eloquently, with admiration in her eyes.

If she could, she really wanted to snatch Gu Yannian away right away!

After the meeting, Gu Yannian took Sun Xiaoxi back to Tianyi.

On the way back, Sun Xiaoxi took the initiative to say, "President Gu, you were really good at negotiating cooperation."

"is it?"

Gu Yannian responded indifferently, showing no joy at Sun Xiaoxi's praise.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoxi remembered what she had overheard last night. After thinking for a while, she spoke again: "Brother Gu, do you not like me very much?"

"Why do you say that?"

Gu Yannian glanced at Sun Xiaoxi with some surprise, not understanding why Sun Xiaoxi suddenly brought up this matter.

"Because my cousin doesn't like me very much, if you like my cousin, you will naturally be the same as her."

Upon hearing Sun Xiaoxi mention Su Yanxi, Gu Yannian explained, "Don't overthink it. How could Yanxi not like you?"

"There's a reason why my cousin doesn't like me. My mom and my cousin's mom are sisters. From a young age, my mom was inferior to my aunt in every way. Although my aunt was always very good to my mom, my mom regarded her as an imaginary enemy. When my aunt was sick and passed away, my mom not only didn't visit her more than a few times, but also went to my uncle and cousin to make a scene right after my aunt passed away."

Although this is a grudge from the previous generation, my mother really went too far, and I understand why my cousin has grievances. This time, if I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come to my cousin for help.

Sun Xiaoxi heard what Su Yanxi and Gu Yannian said last night.

Her only consolation was that Su Yanxi only talked about her mother and didn't mention the bad things she had said about her behind her back.

So today, when facing Gu Yannian, Sun Xiaoxi deliberately took the initiative to confront her, and blamed all the mistakes on her mother, all in order to dispel the bad impression Gu Yannian had of her.

She didn't want Gu Yannian to think that she and her mother were people who had bullied Su Yanxi!

Sure enough, Gu Yannian's expression softened after hearing her bring it up: "Yanxi has never mentioned these things to me before. But as you said, these are all grudges from the previous generation. Since they are grudges from the previous generation, let's not bring them up now."

Don't let Yan Xi's seemingly aloof and cold exterior fool you; she's actually very soft-hearted. If you treat her with sincerity, she'll reciprocate in kind.

"Of course I want to be sincere with my cousin. It's just that we've been apart for too long, and I don't even know what she likes or dislikes anymore. Brother Gu, could you tell me more about my cousin in the future?"

Gu Yannian readily agreed to Sun Xiaoxi's request.

Su Yanxi has always been alone, so it would be a good thing if she could get closer to Sun Xiaoxi.
