Gu Qili was taken aback, knowing his dislike for won’s proximity, but had it reached such an extent that won were banned from setting foot on his floor?
Those who knew him were aware of his allergy to won; being touched by won he was not familiar with made him nauseous. She couldn’t understand how such a rare condition existed, and how did he even acquire it?
Gu Qili, burdened with bags big and small, looked completely mundane here, appearing more like a salesperson.
"My na is Gu Qili, I should have an appointnt, please check for ."
The ice in her milk tea was about to lt; she needed to hurry upstairs.
The receptionist looked at her sowhat embarrassedly for a mont but dialed a number after seeing her harmlessly friendly smile.
"Assistant Xiao, there is a Miss Gu Qili..."
Upon hearing the na Gu Qili, Xiao Ran didn’t wait for the receptionist to finish and instructed, "Please ask her to co up."
"Okay, Assistant Xiao." The receptionist hung up the phone, observing Gu Qili’s smile now appeared different. Ever since Mu Shuoqian beca the president, she was the only woman allowed on the 24th floor, and from Assistant Xiao’s respectful tone... she must be soone extraordinary.
The receptionist personally escorted Gu Qili to the elevator: "Miss Gu, please."
She even enthusiastically pressed the floor button for her, making Gu Qili a bit embarrassed.
Upon reaching the 24th floor, as soon as the elevator doors opened, Xiao Ran stood there with a smile, "Madam, you have arrived."
He imdiately took the shopping bags from Gu Qili’s hands and even took her milk tea.
Gu Qili said, "Thank you, Assistant Xiao, I can hold this myself."
Xiao Ran said nothing and led her straight to the president’s office. A security guard by the side curiously glanced at her several tis. Since won were generally not admitted to the 24th floor, but she was greeted personally by Xiao Ran, implying she was of no ordinary status, the guard didn’t stop her.
As they passed several offices along the way, Gu Qili looked around curiously, noting that indeed, the staff was all male, filled with an aura of masculinity.
A person coming towards them with cleaning tools and wearing a janitor’s uniform stopped to make way for Xiao Ran, respectfully nodding his head.
Gu Qili widened her eyes in surprise, realizing he really was the janitor.
Could he be so averse to won that even the matron wasn’t tolerable?
"Madam, here we are, please co in." Xiao Ran knocked on the door and announced, "Young Master Qian, Madam has arrived."
"Hmm." A bland acknowledgnt ca from inside, neither irritated nor enthusiastic.
Gu Qili still glanced at Xiao Ran cautiously, who raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, prompting her to finally push the door open.
The spacious office had an exceptional view, behind the desk was a huge curved floor-to-ceiling window facing a landmark-like hotel. Standing here at night would offer a panoramic view of Aus City’s splendor.
Sitting in such a large office, Mu Shuoqian’s presence was anything but minor; right upon entering, she could feel his commanding aura suppressing the backdrop, forcing the viewer to focus solely on him.
This was Gu Qili’s first ti seeing him work in his office, dressed in a neat tailored suit with his tie perfectly aligned, sitting on a leather swivel chair as if he was sitting on a splendid throne, strategically brilliant and triumphant from afar, naturally exuding royal charisma.
Gu Qili gawked, unable to take her eyes off him until Mu Shuoqian, annoyed, lifted his eyes toward her, "Haven’t had enough?"
She chuckled awkwardly and rembered the milk tea she bought, quickly walked towards him, and handed it across the desk, "I bought this for you, the ice is about to lt."
