Chapter 101: She Is Too Sensitive

~7 min read 1,333 words

As the president of the company, Gu Yechen did not come to the office today, and the news naturally spread through the company very quickly.

Except for when Gu Yechen was occasionally ill and simply did not have enough strength to carry on, he would always put work first.

So, the fact that he did not come to the office today made the employees very curious; some were even spreading gossip that the reason Gu Yechen did not come to the office was that he was going on a blind date!

That was why he had taken a day off...

Gu Wenyan accidentally heard these rumors and found them somewhat amusing.

Everyone probably did not know that the real reason Gu Yechen did not come to work was simply that he was at home investigating who had destroyed the flowers and plants.

Gu Wenyan had not asked, so she did not know for the time being how the investigation at home was going.

But she also knew that the results probably were not good.

Otherwise, there would not still be no news by now.

Gu Wenyan had also anticipated that if it were as she suspected, then Wang Ma must have avoided all the surveillance cameras and would absolutely not be discovered to have any abnormalities.

Therefore, they would not be able to find anything, and in the end, it would just be left unsettled.

It was a pity for those flowers and plants of hers; it was destined that they would only have such a fate.

Gu Wenyan worked at her own pace; she had originally thought that the employees would still be as polite to her as before, perhaps because everyone really wanted to gossip today, and she was the only person who could gossip about their President Gu at close range...

So at this moment, they threw caution to the wind, and someone took the initiative to ask Gu Wenyan: "Um... Miss Gu, could you tell us what the situation is now?"

"President Gu isn't really going on a blind date, is he?"

"Who is President Gu's blind date?"

Gu Wenyan could not help but laugh: "Who on earth told you that he is going on a blind date?"

"We don't know, everyone was saying so, so we just assumed..."

"If he isn't going on a blind date, what would President Gu be doing?"

Gu Wenyan did not know how to tell everyone, so she could only say quite awkwardly: "It's because there is something at home, but it's not a blind date."

"Oh, okay." Everyone suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

Gu Wenyan looked at everyone's reaction and could not help but ask: "So why did you think he went on a blind date?"

An intern was particularly bold and said: "Because everyone is discussing this issue now; our President Gu is a man of talent, looks so handsome, and is also capable... If he happens to be dating or married, we won't have a target to pine for anymore!"

"Is he that popular?"

"Of course!" The intern, relying on the fact that she was just an intern and had no possibility of developing anything with Gu Yechen, spoke about this topic without restraint, "Many people in the company secretly like President Gu; after all, he is not an ordinary person."

Gu Wenyan thought about it, and it was true; no matter from which angle one judged him, Gu Yechen was indeed full of charm.

He was extremely tempting to women, so he must be the best candidate for a future husband in everyone's mind.

It was a pity... Gu Wenyan felt she really had never heard Gu Yechen say anything related to romance.

Once everyone reminded her, she remembered that not only had she never heard Gu Yechen talk about it, but she had also never heard of any romances involving his other brothers.

However, Gu Yeting could not be included, because Gu Yeting had too many scandals, so although everyone was also unsure whether he actually had a girlfriend or not.

Like these wealthy young masters, as long as they did not publicly announce whether they had a girlfriend, other women would be full of thoughts about pining for them.

"Um, Miss Gu..."

"Actually, you can just call me by my name; I really don't have many taboos, and since I came to work at the company, I just want to be the same as you all."

Gu Wenyan's own temperament carried a bit of coldness, like frost that made people feel she was unapproachable.

But when she smiled, she was warm enough, so after these two days of observation, everyone also discovered that she did not seem as high and mighty as everyone imagined, and she was approachable.

Only then did they dare to say these things to her.

"Okay, we'll just call you by your name! Wen Yan, does President Gu really not have a girlfriend right now? Or any other romantic partners?"

"No, but our group doesn't seem to encourage office romances... so everyone can admire him, but it's best not to do anything else, in case it affects your own work, right?"

Gu Wenyan reminded them half-jokingly, and everyone understood, laughing it off: "Oh, how could we, we just hope President Gu can stay single for one more day, and give us some motivation to strive upward..."

"In case one day I'm not at Gu Group anymore, I might still have a chance to pursue him!"

Gu Wenyan chuckled: "That's true; in the future, you all work hard, start your own companies, cooperate with our Gu Group, and then come to pursue him; who knows, you might even succeed?"

Originally, when everyone talked about these topics, they thought Gu Wenyan could not possibly gossip and discuss them with them; discovering that she could take a joke so well, their emotions underwent a huge change.

They also felt a slight sense of identification with Gu Wenyan.

Even at lunch, someone took the initiative to ask Gu Wenyan if she wanted to go eat together.

Logically speaking, with Gu Wenyan's status, the thing everyone should be doing more is to curry favor with her.

But also because of this status, many people did not dare to approach her casually, fearing that if they failed to curry favor, they would instead make Gu Wenyan unhappy and be unlucky.

Now that they realized Gu Wenyan was not as difficult to deal with as they had imagined, they also showed her some genuine friendliness.

Gu Wenyan had no airs; after finishing lunch with everyone, she continued to work at Gu Group in the afternoon according to her own rhythm and habits, and went home in the evening, specifically returning a bit late.

The three brothers were all there, but their parents were not at home; they had gone to attend a dinner party.

And Wang Ma and Gu Mianmian were also sitting at the dining table eating; Wang Ma was not like a servant with a separate small dining room, but was dining entirely with the Gu family.

It was evident how much the Gu family valued her.

When she returned, they were chatting, and the lively topic made them seem like one family.

Gu Wenyan felt she was superfluous, so she did not walk toward the dining room and walked straight past them without even glancing at them once.

Gu Yechen noticed Gu Wenyan had returned out of the corner of his eye and immediately called out to her: "Wen Yan, come over quickly, it's time for dinner."

"I'm not eating, thank you."

The polite and distant attitude seemed to have returned to the beginning.

Gu Yechen's expression changed slightly, and he quickly followed.

Gu Yefeng and Gu Yeting were just about to react, but were stopped by Wang Ma: "Alright, it's fine for your eldest brother to go."

She said in an ambiguous tone: "This sister of yours is really just a bit too sensitive."
