Sorry, the cellphone you are trying to reach has been switched off. Please try your call again later.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Secretary Zhou had been quietly waiting for Gu Mochen’s phone to vibrate, and when it indeed did, he felt an immense joy.

Damn, I really am too clever.

He actually got Miss Jian to reply to Boss Gu’s text message.

Only...

Why does Boss Gu’s handsome face look so full of smog...

Seeming to be a sign of anger, Secretary Zhou immediately felt guilty.

"Cough cough, Boss Gu, how was the effect?"

"Secretary Zhou, you dare to discuss non-work-related matters with me during working hours, half of your bonus for this month will be deducted."

Secretary Zhou: "..."

Miss Jian did reply after all.

Thinking of this, Secretary Zhou couldn’t help but say with a sense of grievance.

"Boss Gu, Miss Jian did reply to you... My method worked."

Gu Mochen: "..."

Indeed, Secretary Zhou only guaranteed that Jian Ran would reply to the message, not what she would reply with.

Gu Mochen’s lips twitched in disapproval as he spoke word by word.

"What I just said was an example about a friend, I wasn’t talking about myself..."

Secretary Zhou: "..."

It’s over.

I seem to have... let something slip.

"Your bonus for this month is completely forfeited, for whimsically speculating about your superior’s thoughts."

Secretary Zhou: "..."

Boss Gu is being tsundere.

What on earth did Miss Jian text Boss Gu to make him so angry?

...

The next day:

Jian Ran woke up basked in sunlight, in a fantastic mood.

Hmm, the air in Italy is so fresh, the sunlight exceptionally bright...

Being woken up by the sun every morning is indeed a very fortunate thing.

Jian Ran couldn’t help but stretch lazily, then picked up her cellphone from the bedside to power it on, and sure enough, there was a missed call notification from Gu Mochen.

After replying to the man’s text message yesterday, she had turned off her phone.

She had expected that Gu Mochen would definitely call.

As expected.

Jian Ran curved her lips into a smile, then headed to the bathroom to wash up.

After freshening up, Jian Ran chose a professional suit from the clothes Gu Mochen had prepared, looking effortlessly elegant without losing decorum.

Once Jian Ran was ready, she heard knocking at her door.

As Jian Ran opened the door, she saw a female secretary standing there, offering her respects.

"Miss Jian, please join me downstairs for a meal, and then we will set off for the Bon headquarters."

"Sure."

Jian Ran packed up the documents she had prepared the day before, along with the sketches she had drawn, and headed downstairs.

...

At the company, only Jian Ran was dispatched from the design department, while each of the other departments had arranged one to two people.

As Jian Ran and the female secretary went downstairs, the other employees thought that Jian Ran was living together with the secretary and didn’t suspect much; they had no idea that Jian Ran was staying in Gu Mochen’s presidential suite.

Jian Ran greeted each staff member with a light smile, while everyone else was highly tense.

You see, the Bon case was one of the bigger cases for the Gu Family this year.

And... it even involved the Carlo Group.

Although everyone was curious about why the Gu Family was linked to the Carlo Group, even if the Gu Family was very powerful in Yuncheng City and even throughout the country.

Compared to Carlo, they were still the minnow to the shark.
