Gu Xicheng had no intention of attending the meeting at all. If it weren't for his obligation to be there, he would have already flown back to the office to see his beloved.

"In a week, I'll see the results!"

“If we don’t meet expectations, pack up and leave!” Although that’s what I was thinking, I didn’t miss a word of the meeting.

"Yes, Mr. President."

Ji Chuan and everyone else still thought they were continuing the discussion when their CEO casually left a sentence, "You preside," He spoke in a light tone, without a hint of extra emotion. After saying that, he left.

Ji Chuan was filled with despair.

.....

"Mr. Gu?" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As soon as he pushed open the door and saw that no one was at the desk, his heart sank.

From the floor-to-ceiling window, a gentle voice came: “Mr. Gu,” and his mood lifted again.

Gu Xicheng smirked. "Miss Xu!"

"Long time no see!" Gu Xi Cheng's thin lips curled into a faint smile, not deep, but it spread to his eyes, reaching the bottom of them. "Interning at Sheng Yu?"

His gaze fell back on that tiny head, with hair as smooth and cascading as a waterfall, like a waterfall of night...

She slightly lifted her head, revealing a pair of crystal-clear eyes that met his downcast gaze. Immediately, she retracted like an ostrich, "Yes."

The dignified and cold handsome face spread with a smile... That smile, was something he himself hadn't noticed, overflowing with tenderness.

"Well, I understand."

Xu Yi Xue: "...."

What do you mean? He doesn't get it!

Do you think she's a wealthy young lady here to experience the hardships of life?

Gu Xi's intelligent eyes darkened suddenly, a mischievous smile playing on his lips...

"Be my secretary?"

"No," Xu Yixue quickly refused, seeing that his face wasn't looking too good, she immediately softened her tone and sweetly said, "I majored in economics. Interning at the Ministry of Economy is very suitable for me."

Gu Xicheng remained silent, only bowing his head to look at her for a long time.

This face, even if it wasn't the first time seeing it, Xu Yixue was still amazed. Looking at a man more alluring than a woman, how could a man be more pleasing and captivating to the eye than a woman?

"Be my secretary, you can be late." Gu Xicheng said calmly, hearing her refusal, he was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Xu Yixue raised an eyebrow and looked at him in surprise. Could a CEO possibly say something like that?

"I was taken aback for a moment and nodded, "Mr. Gu, I'm really sorry, I just haven't gotten used to going to work yet. Please rest assured that there won't be a next time, if there is another time I'll resign."

But I heard him say, "I really need a secretary to help me manage my reputation. I know Ms. Xu's abilities. I rarely come to Shengyu's side, so the secretary can be late, as long as she gets me the information I need on time."

"Chen Toutou isn't your relative? You can ask him for help." She said this, then immediately covered her mouth with her hand. Oh my, how did she say something she shouldn't have? How did it become that she was fumbling and stammering when speaking to his face?

He composed himself and said.

"No."

Let me know when you've decided!

"Get out!"

A flicker of complex emotion crossed Gu Xichen's face as he muttered three short phrases. Xu Yixue didn't notice.

"Mr. Gu, I'm going out first."
