Chapter 30: There Are Other Destinations
"What? It can't be, right?"
"What do you an you won't? You're still young, and you're still surprised by this. There are many won like ng Nianyao who rely on their looks and bodies to serve n."
"I bet that this woman will disappear from President Gu's side in less than a month."
"That... Don't say that. What if ng Nianyao and President Gu's relationship is very simple?"
"Hahaha, your relationship with him is so simple that you're going to be transferred to the 39th floor and beco President Gu's personal assistant? You've graduated so long ago, why are you still so naive?"
The people in the washroom walked out, chatting and laughing. ng Nianyao was silent. When they left, she discreetly went behind a potted plant. Once they were gone, she reerged. Her face remained expressionless as she entered the washroom to wash her hands.
During the lunch break, everyone headed to a nearby restaurant. Before they left, soone hypocritically invited ng Nianyao to join them. Politely, she declined, explaining that she had ordered takeout. Those people were insincere, so they left after saying yes.
ng Nianyao hadn't actually ordered takeout. She couldn't handle takeout due to her sensitive stomach, and she wasn't hungry. Instead, she rose and went to the pantry to make a cup of tea. Upon returning, Gu Wencheng had just left his office. He glanced at the ti and then at the vacant office. "You didn't go to eat?" he asked.
"I'm not very hungry. I'll order takeout later." ng Nianyao held the teacup in her hand. With the water slightly hot, she balanced it with her other hand.
Gu Wencheng frowned, took the teacup, and placed it on her desk. He then said, "Follow ."
"Where to?"
"Boss, the restaurant is booked."
"Is there a business eting?" ng Nianyao asked.
"It's not a social gathering. The boss made reservations at the restaurant next door. He was concerned you wouldn't be comfortable today, so he arranged a private room."
ng Nianyao was speechless, unsure of how to react. She glanced at Gu Wencheng and said, "You go ahead. I won't join."
"Mrs. Gu has another appointnt?"
"No."
"Did you order takeout?"
ng Nianyao was about to nod when Gu Wencheng continued, "Mrs. Gu, my intelligence and hearing are sharp. I hope you'll think carefully before answering my question."
ng Nianyao was speechless.
Gu Wencheng smiled.
After lunch, ng Nianyao returned to her desk. A colleague nad Ji Linlin approached. "ng Nianyao, what's your relationship with President Gu?"
"It doesn't matter." ng Nianyao turned on her computer and stared at the screen. She clearly didn't want to engage in conversation, but Ji Linlin persisted, "How can it not matter? We all saw it. You said you ordered takeout and didn't want to eat with us. In reality, were you eating with President Gu?"
ng Nianyao smiled politely. "I really have nothing to do with President Gu. I'm just his personal assistant."
Before Ji Linlin could respond, a woman in a professional suit walked over and addressed ng Nianyao directly. "Are you the new Assistant ng?"
Not recognizing her, ng Nianyao stood up politely and replied, "Hello, I'm ng Nianyao."
Ji Linlin shot a look of smug satisfaction and approached the woman. "Manager An, are you here to see President Gu?"
An Xinya smiled and turned to Ji Linlin.
"I'll inform President Gu that you're here. Please wait a mont," Ji Linlin said, offering a flattering smile to An Xinya. She then cast a disdainful glance at ng Nianyao and headed towards Gu Wencheng's office.
ng Nianyao sensed the hostility directed at her but didn't let it bother her. After all, she had accomplished her goal and would soon leave this place.
"Wait…" An Xinya suddenly called Ji Linlin back and addressed ng Nianyao, "Manager ng, could you help inform him? After all, you're Mr. Gu's personal assistant. You're the most suitable person to pass on the ssage."
"Of course, Manager An." ng Nianyao maintained her polite smile and proceeded toward Gu Wencheng's office.
Gu Wencheng was engrossed in work, wearing rimless glasses that accentuated his sharp gaze as he looked up. "What's the matter?"
It was the first ti ng Nianyao had seen Gu Wencheng like this. She hesitated for a mont before saying, "President Gu, Manager An is here."
