Chapter 8: Wanting to Avoid Him

  "It's just that you're too unsociable, not going out or having fun," Zhang Sha and Zhang Ling couldn't help but nag, "Besides, since the boss is paying for this dinner, we mustn't miss this chance to take advantage of him!"

  A 40-year-old manager walked in with his hands behind his back, "Well, you few girls are always so enthusiastic when it comes to food, how about now? Are you plotting against me behind my back?"

  Everyone in the office burst out laughing, a few girls stuck out their tongues and continued working with their heads down.

  The boss is a kind person, everyone also knows he is all bark and no bite, just joking.

  Wen Tong had just come up with a few designs and was about to start drafting when the supervisor turned around with a smile and said, "Wen Tong, you've done a great job this time. The company has decided to give you a personal commendation. HR just called to ask you to go upstairs to sign."

  "Have you finished processing your eyes? Congratulations!!"

  "Really? You must treat me then..."

  A burst of cheers erupted around again.

  Wen Tong nodded slightly and gently furrowed his brow, Personnel, 28th floor.

  Thinking of that place, Wen's eyes flashed with a hint of unnaturalness. After taking the elevator up, because the personnel department and the president's office were adjacent, she lowered her head and quickly passed by the president's office to arrive at the personnel department.

  Everything went smoothly, she just needed to sign her name and check the documents before she could leave.

  Little did she know, as soon as she stepped into the elevator and closed the door, it opened again. Wen Cai raised her head to see a familiar figure outside, with an upright and slender physique, extraordinary demeanor, and a single sleeve in his suit pocket - just from this one side view, she knew who it was.

  Gu Xicheng and Secretary Qin were standing at the door, with a woman still clinging to his arm!

  "...", seeing each other slightly stunned.

  Finally, Wen Gong lowered his head and stood in the corner at the back, this world is so wonderful, the people you don't want to meet are always the ones you run into.

  Gu Xi Cheng walked in with a calm and composed demeanor, her gaze icy cold, her elegant and haughty posture making it seem as if she didn't exist at all. The woman clinging to his arm was wearing a fiery red dress that hugged her curves, tall and beautiful, seemingly the new face of Gu's jewelry brand this season - supermodel Fu Anni...

  Wen Tong lowered his head and thought silently to himself.

  Fu Annie followed him into the elevator and muttered softly, "Strange, why is the other elevator broken?"

  "Miss Fu, this is Maintenance Department's routine inspection."

  Qin secretary corrected, Bian pressed the button.

  Suddenly a figure like a gust of wind rushed over, "Wait wait——" and then one foot stretched in.

  After the door opened, a young man stood at the elevator entrance.

  The young man outside was startled when he saw the majestic figure inside and hastily said, "Good morning, General Gu... Good morning, Secretary Qin."

  Tall and slender, with a handsome face, Secretary Qin nodded, "Good morning."

  The young man didn't expect to bump into the president in the employee elevator, and he originally wanted to retreat, but when he glanced at the figure behind them, his scalp tightened, and he walked back in.

  The elevator slowly descended downwards.

  Gu Xi Cheng stood right in front of her, and across the air, she could still smell the fragrance on his clean suit. Wen Tong turned her face away, being in the same space as him made her feel suffocated, her chest felt tight and uncomfortable.

  The familiar yet strange aura, every step closer made her breathing difficult.

  The young man was a member of the European group in the design department. He saw Wen Tong seemed uncomfortable, and whispered to her ear, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

  Gu Xicheng gazed at the two people embracing from the mirror wall, a hint of disdain flashing across his eyes, before he looked away.
