The CEO Wants to Flirt with You (GL) - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Gu Ying and Xiao Mo walked side-by-side in front. Chu Yanqing watched the two of them getting along so well and felt a knot of discomfort in her heart, like a lion king who had just declared his ownership of a lioness, only to have her stolen by another lion the next minute.

She glanced at Ji Yan beside her. Her eyes must be playing tricks on her! She actually saw a hint of warmth and a faint smile on the expressionless face. Oh my god, what kind of person is Gu Ying? How can she be so friendly with everyone? Even her own secretary was attracted to Gu Ying!

Chu Yanqing had flirted with all the women in this company, except for Xiao Mo and Ji Yan.

She had wanted to flirt with Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo told her directly that she had a girlfriend. She naturally treated an artist who was so honest and sincere with her differently. She had only recently found out who Xiao Mo’s girlfriend was—it was none other than the popular first-tier celebrity Gong Nan.

And Ji Yan was her dad’s person. How could a rabbit eat the grass next to its own burrow! And it was grass planted by an old rabbit! This grass must be poisonous. Eating it would either kill her or make her life worse than death!

The two women she had never flirted with were so close to Gu Ying?

Suddenly, she remembered that Ji Yan came from the group’s headquarters, and Gu Ying also came from the group’s headquarters. Both of them were from the headquarters, so they must have known each other for a long time! She knew it. How could there be so many cases of love at first sight in the world, and how could an iceberg melt in an instant!

The corners of Chu Yanqing’s mouth curled up. She smiled at Ji Yan, the smugness in her eyes enough to blind her.

Feeling President Chu’s burning gaze, Ji Yan pulled her eyes away from Gu Ying and turned to look at Chu Yanqing. She asked coldly, “President Chu, is something wrong?” Her smile was so eerie. Was she planning to make a move on her?

Chu Yanqing’s smile became even brighter. She looked at Ji Yan with an “I know everything” expression and said, “Ji Yan, how long have you and Gu Ying known each other?” Judging by Ji Yan’s attitude toward Gu Ying, they must have known each other for at least a year.

As soon as she said this, she saw Ji Yan’s eyes darken.

No way. Could it be that Ji Yan knew Gu Ying, but Gu Ying didn’t know Ji Yan? So it was unrequited love… Wait, did Ji Yan really like Gu Ying? Then Ji Yan was her love rival! But they had known each other for so many years and nothing had happened with Gu Ying. It seemed she didn’t need to worry.

Her mood fluctuated wildly, and she felt a sense of powerlessness, like a cat scratching her heart.

Seeing that Xiao Mo and Gu Ying had already entered the private room, she comforted Ji Yan and said, “It’s just a woman. If you like Gu Ying’s type, I can introduce you to a few! We can’t let unrequited love happen!” No other president would be this kind-hearted to introduce a subordinate to a date. And a same-s3x one at that!

When she heard that President Chu was going to introduce her to a date, Ji Yan gave her a cold glare. The warning in her eyes was very clear.

“Haha, just kidding. My little secretary, you like being single, right?” Teasing the expressionless face was quite interesting. Chu Yanqing smiled brightly and glanced at Ji Yan before speeding up to catch up.

As soon as she pushed open the private room door, she saw Gu Ying and Xiao Mo looking at her with astonishment. What’s wrong? Can’t she be here? Why were Gu Ying and Xiao Mo looking at her with such disgust?

Half a second later, Gu Ying spoke coldly, “President Chu, are you planning to have lunch with us?” Her conversation with Xiao Mo was cut short before it even started. She had thought that Chu Yanqing would not show up after ordering the kitchen to prepare the food… She had indeed underestimated Chu Yanqing.

It was a little awkward…

These words clearly meant for her to leave quickly! It was like visiting someone’s house. If the host asked if you wanted to stay for dinner, it meant it was time for you to leave.

But who was Chu Yanqing? Her skin was thicker than a city wall! She smiled and sat down opposite Gu Ying. “Of course, I’m having lunch with you. Since it’s Manager Gu’s first time dining in our company’s restaurant, as the president, of course, I have to accompany you.” She raised an eyebrow at Gu Ying. “What’s more, I also…” She gave Gu Ying a meaningful smile. “Right, my Manager Gu?”

My Manager Gu? Ji Yan, who had just entered the private room, immediately turned sullen when she heard President Chu’s words.

Ji Yan closed the door and walked over to Chu Yanqing with a poker face. When she saw Gu Ying’s gaze, her expression immediately softened.

She and Gu Ying joined the company in the same year. Six years had passed, and Gu Ying was already the public relations manager, while she was still just a secretary. Gu Ying’s efforts and changes were all seen by her.

A hardworking and dedicated woman is the most attractive. From her youthful and inexperienced days after graduation to her current mature and steady self, she had completely captured Ji Yan’s heart.

She liked Gu Ying. Gu Ying was sophisticated and diplomatic, maintaining warm but distant relationships with everyone she met. During work hours, you could always find Gu Ying, but after work, Gu Ying was as mysterious as a lost ancient civilization. Perhaps it was to protect herself, or perhaps it was her nature. In any case, no one had any contact with Gu Ying after work.

The company was so big, with thousands of people in the headquarters alone. She and Gu Ying didn’t have much contact at work, and having contact in their personal lives was a fantasy. Ji Yan had wanted to get closer to Gu Ying countless times but never dared to take a step.

So for so many years, she and Gu Ying had been in the same company but had never become close. It was always just her unrequited love for Gu Ying.

But even in her secret crush, Ji Yan knew that she wasn’t the only one who had a crush on Gu Ying in the company. The difference was that the other admirers were men, while she was a woman.

When Gu Ying was transferred from the group to Shengjin Company and became the public relations manager of Shengjin, Gu Ying asked her to help arrange an office. She selfishly put Gu Ying’s office next to the president’s office, hoping to have a closer relationship with Gu Ying.

But she had forgotten about a president who loved to flirt with women! It was like sending a lamb to a tiger’s mouth!

“Ji Yan, sit.” Gu Ying pulled out the chair next to her, motioning for Ji Yan to sit next to her. This action surprised both Ji Yan and Chu Yanqing.

Didn’t they say Ji Yan had an unrequited love for Gu Ying? Why was Gu Ying so warm to Ji Yan? When she came in, she looked so disgusted, but when Ji Yan arrived, she immediately motioned for her to sit down.

She even pulled out a chair for Ji Yan!

Chu Yanqing was very unhappy. She felt that Gu Ying was doing this on purpose to spite her!

Gu Ying, just you wait! Once I get you, once you love me to death, I’ll abandon you cruelly!

She thought this in her heart, but her face was smiling brightly. Chu Yanqing said with a beaming smile, “Ji Yan is my secretary. Sitting next to me is enough.” She also pulled out the chair next to her.

But Ji Yan clearly liked Gu Ying. She would willingly sit in the chair Gu Ying pulled out for her, even if it was full of steel needles and barbs.

“Thank you, Manager Gu.” The corners of Ji Yan’s mouth slightly turned up, and a faint smile was as gentle as a spring breeze.

“You don’t have to be so formal. Just call me Gu Ying.” Gu Ying returned a faint smile. “You came to Shengjin half a year ago, and before that, you were at the group headquarters. You and I are from the same place.”

Hearing what Gu Ying said, Ji Yan was so excited that she, who was always composed, stuttered, “Ma-Ma-Manager Gu, you know me?” Her eyes were even a little red.

She really didn’t expect that Gu Ying would know she existed and even know when she came to Shengjin.

“Did you think today was the first day I knew you?” Gu Ying smiled and glanced at Chu Yanqing out of the corner of her eye. “Since I’m new to Shengjin, I’ll have to rely on Secretary Ji’s help.”

Ji Yan nodded vigorously. Not to mention helping her, she would be willing to take care of her every day!

Ji Yan, be a little more reserved! You weren’t this excited when you were with Gu Ying before. How come you’re like a fan now, wanting to stick to Gu Ying?

Chu Yanqing looked at Ji Yan with disappointment. Then she looked at the calm and smiling Gu Ying. It’s over. This secretary will probably become a little spy in the future!

Then how would she play with Gu Ying?

Ji Yan was out of the question. Chu Yanqing looked at Xiao Mo. They exchanged glances. Xiao Mo turned to look at Gu Ying, then looked back at Chu Yanqing, and silently got up and moved to the side.

Good. Xiao Mo was still tactful.

Chu Yanqing got up and sat in the spot Xiao Mo had vacated. She smiled at Gu Ying and said, “Manager Gu, why don’t you talk to me more? Instead of letting Ji Yan take care of you, why don’t you let me, the president, take care of you?” She would definitely take good care of Gu Ying from now on! Hehehe…

The restaurant’s chef dared not be slow with what the president had ordered. Soon, eight dishes and two soups were delivered.

Gu Ying looked at Chu Yanqing. Her elegant and refined eating could only be seen at this time, showing her identity as the second daughter of the Chu family. At other times, she was like a hooligan son of a nouveau riche.

During the meal, Xiao Mo looked at Gu Ying several times, hesitating whether to tell her about her relationship with Gong Nan. President Chu and Secretary Ji, who were sitting there, knew about her relationship with Gong Nan, but Manager Gu didn’t. If she told Manager Gu about her relationship with Gong Nan in front of President Chu, would Manager Gu give up the idea of using this momentum for promotion?

Gu Ying was so sharp. She put her chopsticks on the white ceramic chopstick rest, took a napkin, wiped her lips, and then looked at Xiao Mo. She asked calmly, “Xiao Mo, do you have something to say?” Xiao Mo’s hesitant look clearly meant that what she wanted to say could be said in front of Chu Yanqing and Ji Yan. Gu Ying gave her an opening.

The two people beside her also put down their chopsticks and looked at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo sighed and said, “Gong Nan and I are indeed a couple.” She looked at Gu Ying’s eyes. “So, Manager Gu, I will not use Gong Nan to climb the ladder.” If she wanted to use Gong Nan to get ahead, she could have exposed her relationship with Gong Nan two years ago. Why wait until now?

“You can take your time. I’m full.” Xiao Mo nodded apologetically, got up, and left.

She would rather leave this company and never be an artist again. She could find another job. But using Gong Nan to get ahead was impossible.

As soon as Xiao Mo left, Chu Yanqing looked at Gu Ying with an “I told you so” expression and said, “See? I told you that no matter what, Xiao Mo wouldn’t agree with you. Xiao Mo values love and loyalty over fame and fortune. With that kind of personality, how could she use a scandal with her loved one to get ahead?”

The corners of Gu Ying’s mouth curled up, and she smiled. She looked at Chu Yanqing. “President Chu, do you know that many things are man-made?” Just like this Gong Nan and Xiao Mo incident, someone did it on purpose. She said confidently, “Xiao Mo will change her mind.” She picked up her chopsticks and started eating again.

Only by being strong can you protect the person you love. Only when you are of equal status can you be together. If Xiao Mo continued to be a nobody with no ability, she would eventually be separated from Gong Nan. With something like this happening, maybe she wouldn’t have to wait long before they broke up for the sake of Gong Nan’s future.

If Xiao Mo wanted to be with Gong Nan forever, she had to stand at the same height as Gong Nan.

“Then I’ll wait and see.” Chu Yanqing looked at Gu Ying and found that Gu Ying’s eating was a beautiful sight. Her body reacted before her brain did. She reached out and gently caressed the side of her face.

In an instant, the air in the entire room froze.
