Long Time No See (GL) - Chapter 7

The office was on the third floor, and Yun Shu’s smile could be clearly seen from the window. She stood beneath the sycamore tree, her figure blending in with the autumn scenery. Time seemed to stand still, and the way she paused to gaze at Gu Weiran was frozen in a still, beautiful image, like an autumn wallpaper.

“Would you like to come up and take a look? I’ll go down to greet you?”

Gu Weiran didn’t know why she had extended such an invitation. Someone in Yun Shu’s position wouldn’t come to Party B in person.

Could it be that she consciously wanted Yun Shu to see her work environment? Or to see the half-dead company she had just taken over?

It was a bit ridiculous.

“No, you can just push the remaining work forward with the Planning Department. I have an appointment tonight, so I have to leave first.”

“Oh…you’re not coming up again, why are you standing downstairs?” He felt a strange sense of anticipation in his heart.

Yun Shu still had her head tilted back, and the angle from which she looked up made her even more beautiful than her usual face.

“Just passing by.”

The bland words made Gu Weiran uncomfortable. “That’s fine, you can go.” He

‘d been deluded, thinking she’d come all the way to see him. She was so busy, so what was he?

Was she hinting that it was time to discuss kickbacks?

“Then when are you free? I’ll talk business with you.”

The “business” Gu Weiran meant was kickbacks. Until that moment, she’d assumed Yun Shu cared about the money. If they couldn’t reach an agreement, she’d feel like she owed Yun Shu something.

Yun Shu chuckled, “Don’t worry about repaying the favor. I’ll ask for it myself when I need it.” Sure enough,

she remembered this and might have already figured out the kickback amount. Clients are so greedy these days.

Gu Weiran couldn’t help but wonder: Yun Shu was not only the Executive Vice President of Mingde Group, but also the General Manager of the entire East China region. With such a high position and an annual salary of at least four or five million, how would she view such a small amount of money?

Or rather, would she even consider such a small amount?

Gu Weiran pondered this, falling silent.

Seeing her silence, Yun Shu took a nasty interest.

“What? Can’t afford it?” Feng Qi knew all too well what was going on

. While the house payment was enough for Gu Weiran to make ends meet, as the new boss, he had to consider the company’s bottom line. Furthermore, Mingde’s project wasn’t easy to tackle; not everyone could handle it. With the workload and demanding requirements, Feng Qi’s future wouldn’t be easy.

How would Gu Weiran respond? Yun Shu was genuinely looking forward to it.

“We’ll discuss it sometime. It’s not about what I can afford; it just depends on whether I can satisfy your appetite.”

“I’ll definitely satisfy you. It just depends on whether you want to do it.”

Yun Shu smiled and hung up. Gu Weiran had no idea what she wanted. She had no hidden agenda, and yet Yun Shu seemed to have it all figured out.

“So annoying!”

She just liked to be inscrutable, impassive? To take advantage of her?

Gu Weiran hung up frustrated. She wouldn’t rest until this matter was resolved.

Yun Shu looked up at her, her smile undimmed, and didn’t leave until the bodyguards pulled over.

“Always like this, suddenly appearing and then leaving,” Gu Weiran muttered to herself, gazing at the car.

Mingde’s investigation of Fengqi went smoothly. The people in the planning department did not give them any trouble and were even very respectful to Gu Weiran.

Although Yunshu did not remind her, she tried her best to ensure Fengqi’s success and showed special care for Gu Weiran. Everyone could see that they had a close relationship.

The project was successfully taken over and Uncle Da also announced that he would “abdicate”. Until today, many people knew that the boss had changed and the legal person of the company had been changed. It was

a world of sadness and joy, just like graduation season in school days, with a sense of sadness of separation.

In order to celebrate the acquisition of Mingde and to see Uncle Da off, Gu Weiran paid for everyone to go to a high-end club to have fun at night.

Gu Weiran was as agile as a rabbit and as quiet as a virgin. She could let go and have fun. Singing, playing dice, taking risks, she could do it all.

The vitality of young people was fully displayed at this moment.

“This time, it’s all thanks to Weiran’s public relations with President Yun, otherwise we wouldn’t have had this opportunity. We should toast her a glass.” Yang Ou was holding the glass, a little tipsy. At this moment, he could no longer see anyone else except Gu Weiran.

“By the way, did Weiran and President Yun already know each other?” Wang Ya had always been puzzled. She was Yang Ou’s apprentice and the company’s happy fruit. Although she had just graduated, she was very talented in design.

Gu Weiran swirled her glass. The cocktail was bright in color and she seemed to be a little drunk.

What was her relationship with Yun Shu?

She really couldn’t say it.

“Yes, Weiran, President Yun also said to you at that time, it’s been a long time since we last met.” Yang Ou witnessed the process of Yun Shu and Gu Weiran exchanging pleasantries. The tone was like that of old acquaintances.

When Yun Shu was mentioned, Gu Weiran put away her smile and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

“She is my mother’s student.” She replied lightly, which seemed to be the best answer.

The alcohol stung her throat, numbing her nerves somewhat. She put down her glass, Yun Shu’s smile flashing back to her mind. In the early days, when they were just this relationship, their relationship had been so pure.

Yet… until now, she still had no idea what Yun Shu was after.

She couldn’t pretend those things hadn’t happened, but everything that was happening now seemed contradictory and ridiculous.

Yang Ou saw Gu Weiran’s expression. He had always felt that Gu Weiran’s emotions had become strange since meeting Yun Shu.

The more he tried to understand, the more Gu Weiran resisted, the tighter she wrapped herself around him. After three years of working together, Yang Ou’s affection for her was an open secret. He didn’t need to express it, nor did he need to pursue it in any way, which Gu Weiran hated most.

He could only take his place and silently show his concern.

“More?” Yang Ou raised the bottle cautiously.

Gu Weiran nodded.

“Wow, hold onto Mr. Yun’s thighs, we’ll definitely have meat!”

“No, no, no, we should hold onto Weiran’s thighs.”

Everyone chattered happily.

Uncle Da only drank and didn’t talk. No wonder Yun Shu insisted on transferring the company to Wei Ran. So there was this connection.

Gu Wei Ran seemed to lose interest, her high spirits suddenly subsiding.

“Keep playing, keep playing. Let’s play dice. If you lose, we’ll play truth or dare.”

Not wanting to spoil the fun, Gu Wei Ran threw herself into the fun. Guessing numbers wasn’t her forte; she preferred playing big or small, which was simple and straightforward.

After one round, her score was the lowest. Not wanting to be asked truth or dare, she opted for dare. The requirement for this dare was to go to the VIP room and say a few words. There were no restrictions on what to say, and she had to leave quickly and take a photo as proof.

Gu Wei Ran was comfortable with the game; if she lost, she’d just admit it. It was no big deal. She didn’t care about her face at a time like this; she was in the service industry.

This club was quite high-end; they usually didn’t spend money there, but today they were enjoying themselves. At the end of the corridor was the VIP area, supposedly reserved for VIPs.

What’s so noble about being a VIP? Gu Weiran felt a little dizzy when she walked out of the box. It turned out that she had been a little drunk

without realizing it. It was a rare opportunity to relax and indulge herself. She was happy and sad.

After today, she must take on the main responsibility. She must learn how to run a company well, and she must also know how to guess people’s hearts and retain this team.

Was she showing off? She should have a carefree life, but she had to find a job. Wouldn’t it be better to be an ordinary worker?

But Su Qing worked so hard, and everyone around her worked so hard. If there was no hope in life, it would seem too monotonous.

Gu Weiran still liked challenging things. After all, she had no ties and could give it a try.

Thinking of this, she felt much more comfortable.

Gu Weiran stumbled a little when walking the distance of more than ten meters. Anyway, it was enough to complete the task. She stood at the door of the box, took a deep breath, and it was okay to be embarrassed, but she would escape immediately after the embarrassment.

She pushed the door open with force and was about to speak when she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

She didn’t see how many people were inside, but she saw Yun Shu being put on the shoulder by a very handsome “young master”. He was holding a wine glass, as if he was going to feed Yun Shu some wine, and the two were very close.

The moment she saw Gu Weiran, Yun Shu’s face was filled with shock and surprise.

Gu Weiran’s head felt like it was about to explode, and she suddenly had a splitting headache. The corners of her lips twitched, and she grabbed her hair and pulled hard, trying to sober herself up.

Her heart felt like it was being carried on a sea of ​​fire and cold, and after the alternating hot and cold, it still hurt a little, which was stronger than the aftereffects of all the alcohol.

Yun Shu pushed the man away, stood up, and looked at her

, wanting to say something but stopping herself. The scene before her made Gu Weiran feel sick, but she still calmed herself and forced a smile: “I’m sorry, Mr. Yun, to disturb your pleasure.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and ran out, trying to escape this inexplicable emotional vortex.

“Gu Weiran!” “Weiran!”

Yun Shu’s voice came from behind, but Gu Weiran was oblivious. She had forgotten even to return to the private room, instead sprinting towards the outside of the clubhouse.

“Gu Weiran!”

Yun Shu hurried after him. Passing a crowded private room, she noticed a familiar face. She entered. Inside, the people were rolling dice and singing. The door opened, and Yang Ou, assuming it was Gu Weiran, shouted into the microphone, “Why are you so…” The words were barely out, but the words were swallowed back in shock.

“Mr. Yun?!!” Yang Ou quickly muted his voice, gazing at Yun Shu’s sullen expression. He sensed something was amiss. Why was this Party A’s grandmother here?

Yun Shu’s aura was cold, even more so than on the day of the bidding.

“Where’s Gu Weiran?” she asked.

“No, he’s not back…” Yang Ou replied timidly. Yun Shu glanced at the wall hook and immediately recognized Gu Weiran’s coat. She grabbed it and, without a word, left the private room, leaving the others staring at each other in bewilderment.

Yun Shu hurried to the door, looking both ways, and spotted a thin figure in the distance.

“Gu Weiran!” She tried to raise her voice, but the night wind easily drowned her out. Gu Weiran hurried forward, as if in a hurry.

Why didn’t she cherish herself? Why was she so self-deprecating? Did socializing have to be like this? Men favored “princesses,” but why did she, a woman, have to surround herself with men?

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Gu Weiran would never have believed Yun Shu was like that.

Ha… The little goodwill she had worked so hard to build up for Yun Shu through the project was instantly shattered.

How ridiculous, truly ridiculous. She was just that kind of person, wasn’t she?

What was Gu Weiran angry about? More than just angry,

she was furious. She felt nauseous, and the cold night wind made it even worse.

She thought she simply couldn’t accept Yun Shu’s private life, never considering the real reason.

“Gu Weiran, stop!”

Yun Shu’s voice rang out again, but Gu Weiran didn’t listen! She didn’t want to see Yun Shu and continued to walk quickly.

“Weiran!”

Seeing that she was still ignoring her, Yun Shu glanced at the blind path next to her. She suddenly had an idea and stepped over and deliberately fell.

“Hey~”

Gu Weiran heard her voice, stopped and looked back. Her body seemed to be driven by instinct, making her run quickly towards Yun Shu. She hated this feeling of being out of control and didn’t understand why she was like this. She felt that before she had time to think about anything, her foot had already taken a step forward.
