Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Looking at each other and hating each other

——There is a guy with a bad personality around him, even a saint would lose his temper! The rain was still falling, and the rain kept sliding down the car window, making the world outside the window more hazy. Deliberately ignoring the non-negligible existence around him, Ye Chenghuan looked out the window, not even daring to breathe too hard, for fear of inhaling too much of his oppressive aura. It was only a short distance of a few minutes, but Ye Chenghuan felt that it was longer than any distance she had traveled before. Gu Muting sat beside Ye Chenghuan, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes circled around Ye Chenghuan, but he never spoke.

Ye Chenghuan felt uncomfortable, but he didn't turn his head to look at him.Suddenly, she noticed that the window was not the way back to her house, she turned her head to look at Gu Muting, and quickly asked: "General Manager, where are you going?" "It's too late to worry that I'll sell you." Gu Muting looked at Ye Chenghuan and smiled, with a hint of complacency in his eyes. The car gradually stopped, and after realizing that the restaurant in front of her was at least half an hour's walk away from her residence, Ye Chenghuan's face darkened slightly.

"General manager, since you want to eat, I won't bother you." After Ye Chenghuan finished speaking, he was about to rush out of the car. Gu Muting quickly grabbed Ye Chenghuan's arm, looked at Ye Chenghuan's obviously evasive expression, and said, "It's your first day back to work at the head office. As the general manager, you should help you clean up the dust." After Gu Muting finished speaking, he ignored Ye Chenghuan's obvious resistance, and led her out of the car. When the restaurant staff saw a customer coming, they hurried over with an umbrella.

Ye Chenghuan, who couldn't argue with Gu Muting in public, had no choice but to let him lead him into the restaurant. This is a western restaurant. There is a crystal lamp on the ceiling in the center of the restaurant. Under the illumination of the light source, the crystals reflect a dazzling light, which is even more dazzling than the stars in the sky.On the table in the center of the restaurant is a large bouquet of perfume lilies in full bloom. The perfume lilies exude bursts of faint fragrance, neither strong nor enchanting.On every table in the restaurant there is a small vase with a single rose in it.

Gu Muting took Ye Chenghuan to sit down by the window. As soon as he sat down, Ye Chenghuan heard a familiar melody. It turned out that piano music was playing in the restaurant. After listening carefully, he found that it was often played in "Remembrance of Love" in the background music of the movie.The gorgeous notes carry the peace of love, like soft silk, flowing slowly, and like graceful silver light, slowly blooming, the listener will be immersed in it, wave away all impetuousness and desire, and filter out the true nature of life rhythm.This is a piano piece she likes very much. Every time she is in a bad mood, as long as she hears this piece of music, her mood can slowly calm down.

But now, peace of mind is what she desperately needs. The ancients said that once it comes, it will be safe.Although "An Zhi" is not an easy matter, she can only do her best to "An Zhi". Ye Chenghuan took it, ordered a meal at random, and sat quietly by the side without saying a word. Gu Muting tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, but looked at Ye Chenghuan with eyes as deep as an ancient well, and said, "Miss Ye, does eating with me make you feel uncomfortable?" "No, it's my honor to have dinner with the general manager." Ye Chenghuan sat upright, afraid that a casual word or look in his eyes would be infinitely magnified by Gu Muting and make things difficult for her.Now she only hopes that this meal can end quickly, so that she can leave Gu Muting who makes him feel that his breathing is not smooth.

The corners of Gu Muting's mouth slightly raised, and when he was about to say something, an abrupt voice sounded from in front of them. "Mu Ting, what a coincidence, you also come here to eat." After seeing the person coming clearly, Gu Muting pulled out a smirk, and nodded to the person coming. Ye Chenghuan recognized that the person greeting Gu Muting was the business manager of the company, Gu Muting's cousin, Gu Muxi.The Gu family is a big family. Gu Muting has several cousins ​​who are about the same age as him. They basically hold important positions in the company. However, a large part of them receive salaries and do not work in production.Compared with other cousins ​​who are not engaged in production, Gu Muxi is a more accomplished one, and he has also made a lot of achievements in the business department.

After Gu Muxi approached, he looked at Ye Chenghuan and said, "Isn't this Mu Lin's assistant?" Ye Chenghuan nodded to Gu Muxi and said, "Hi, manager." Gu Muxi smiled at Ye Chenghuan, looked at Gu Muting, and said: "Mu Ting, you are really good, you have started to win over people around Mu Lin so soon, that's right, except for Mu Lin, you I don’t even know who to win over!” Hearing Gu Muxi's sarcastic tone, Ye Chenghuan was a little stunned. A few years ago, when she was still working in that small trading company, she heard people say that the factional struggle in the Lecheng Trading Group was very serious. .In the past year, she has been in City Z with Gu Mulin, and she has no direct feelings for the senior management of Lecheng. However, looking at Gu Muxi's attitude towards Gu Muting now, and recalling what Gu Muxi said just now In other words, it seems that the rumors are not exaggerated, and the internal faction fighting in Lecheng is really fierce.

Ye Chenghuan thought that Gu Muting would be angry, or it was because of Gu Muxi's face. After all, she had personally experienced how bad Gu Muting's temper was, but what surprised her was that Gu Muting just looked at Gu Muting. Hi smiled, but didn't speak. Gu Muxi looked at Gu Muting, and said with a sneer: "You really look like that annoying woman!" The perfunctory smile on Gu Muting's mouth faded away, his eyes became sharper, his knuckles holding the water cup were slightly white, he looked straight into Gu Muxi's eyes, and said sharply: " The nonsense is over, you can get out!"

"They are really right, as long as you mention that woman, your face will become ugly!" Gu Muxi said with some pride. "Get lost!" Gu Muting seemed to say the word from between his teeth. Gu Mu laughed happily, and then said to Ye Chenghuan: "Miss Ye, I will give you a conscience suggestion. Now choose where you stand again, so that you won't lose too badly in the end." Unexpectedly, Gu Muxi would shift the topic to himself, Ye Chenghuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Thank you for the manager's suggestion, I am just a small assistant, I will do my best."

Gu Muxi said to Ye Chenghuan, "I know you are a smart person and know how to choose", then nodded to Gu Muting whose face had become ugly, and then turned and left... After Gu Muxi left, Ye Chenghuan felt that the surrounding atmosphere became strange.Gu Muting stared at her closely, making her feel as if she was being scanned by a laser, and her stomach seemed to be tangled together.She knew that Gu Muting was in a bad mood at the moment, but he probably wouldn't take his anger on her, right? Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the waiter brought their meals, and Ye Chenghuan felt relieved. However, because he was facing a person who had a prejudice against him, that person who had a prejudice against him often Frowning and looking at himself, Ye Chenghuan felt that this meal was like chewing wax, like a stick in his throat. After finally finishing a tasteless dinner, Ye Chenghuan felt as if a century had passed. Perhaps because of a bad mood, Gu Muting didn't even open his mouth, and asked the driver to take her back after dinner, without making things difficult for her. Another night of tossing and turning. Ye Chenghuan looked at herself in the mirror with a pale face and a faint blue shadow hanging in her eyes, and smiled wryly. After only two days back in this city, she has already suffered from insomnia for two consecutive days, and I hope it will be nothing more than three days. After breakfast, when I returned to the company, it was still early. After she pressed the switch of the computer, she took the cup to the pantry to make tea. Coffee didn't have any refreshing effect on her, and a cup of strong tea was what she desperately needed now. After making tea and returning to her seat, she opened the mailbox and checked the email. Ten minutes later, Deng Yuting walked into the office and said "Good morning" to Ye Chenghuan in a refreshed manner. Ye Chenghuan replied "Morning" with a smile, and continued to reply to emails. Remembering the quotation that Gu Mulin asked her to tidy up the bathroom facilities of the Royal Hotel yesterday before leaving the company, she made a phone call to urge her long-term cooperation with the bathroom supplier. After the other party said that she would be able to give her a quotation later, she continued. Got to deal with other things. Gu Mulin returned to the company half an hour later, took some materials, explained to her a few times, and took Deng Yuting out again.Ye Chenghuan was the only one left in the office. It was the best time to be lazy, but she was too busy. She came back in a hurry, and the person who handed over to her in Z city hadn't started yet, so she called her if she had any questions; several customers said they would come to see the market next month, so she took the time to make a few invitations Letter to the other party to apply for a visa; a container that left City Z last month has arrived at the destination port, but due to the carelessness of the person in charge, the delivery address was wrongly written, the container was detained at the destination port, and the customer could not clear the customs. I was charged a demurrage fee by the customs at the port of destination, and I am calling to complain at the moment.Ye Chenghuan was not actually in charge of that client, but Ye Chenghuan had socialized before, so when Gu Mulin was too busy to answer the phone, the client's complaint call came directly to her... Because he didn't sleep well for two consecutive days and his workload was a bit heavy, Ye Chenghuan felt his head was buzzing. After finally appeasing the complaining client, the tea had already turned cold before he had time to take a sip. Just as she was about to have a sip of tea to relieve her headache, the phone on the table came to mind again. Gu Muting's assistant urged her to ask for a quotation for the bathroom facilities of the Royal Hotel. The case of the Royal Hotel is one of the big cases that the company wants to win this year. The company's senior management attaches great importance to it. In order to prevent Gu Muting from getting angry because he has not been able to get a quotation for a long time, she sighed softly and even cared about the cold tea. After taking a sip, she opened the quotation that she had just received from the supplier, and she sorted it out again. After finally sorting out the quotation and sending it to Gu Muting's assistant, Ye Chenghuan leaned on the back of the chair, her face turned pale, she felt her brain was buzzing, and her stomach hurt uncooperatively got up. After taking a short breath, the phone on her desk rang again, she let out a sigh of relief, she picked up the phone, and heard a voice that she was very unwilling to hear—— "Miss Ye, come to my office now." Before Ye Chenghuan could answer, Gu Muting had already hung up the phone, stared at the phone, remembering the "respect" issue that Gu Muting told her yesterday, she couldn't help complaining a little in her heart.In her opinion, Gu Muting is the one who doesn't know how to respect others! Complaining is nothing but complaints, she still came to the seventeenth floor.Today, Gu Muting's assistant was in the position, and the two nodded to each other, which was regarded as a greeting.Ye Chenghuan walked to Gu Muting's office, knocked lightly on the door, and opened the door and walked in after getting Gu Muting's consent. Gu Muting was looking at the document in his hand. After Ye Chenghuan walked in, he raised his head, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, raised the document in his hand to Ye Chenghuan, and asked, "The price list for the Royal Hotel's bathroom installation?" Did you sort it out?" "Yes." Ye Chenghuan replied, when she came in just now, seeing Gu Muting's expression, she felt that she had caused trouble. Gu Muting threw the quotation in his hand on the desk casually, and said, "You should take a good look at what's wrong!" Ye Chenghuan took a step closer, picked up the quotation that Gu Muting had thrown on the desk, and took a look in front of him. He was speechless for a while. Gu Muting had already circled a word she had mistyped with a red pen. And let her "take a good look at what's wrong"... Staring closely at Ye Chenghuan, Gu Muting said: "Miss Ye, I hope that you can focus on your work when you go to work. Although, this time, you just wrote a word wrong, but , because a small mistake can lose all the examples abound. I hope you can learn from it!" "Thank you for the teaching of the general manager, I will definitely remember it in my heart." Ye Chenghuan did not say any rebuttals, and silently accepted Gu Muting's accusation. If it wasn't for the tight schedule and no time to check the quotation, she wouldn't have made such a mistake.In fact, the word that Gu Muting specially circled just now did not have a serious impact on the entire quotation, but, in this case, she would not say it.Because, in Gu Muting's ears, her rebuttals and explanations will only become a cover-up. She knew that Gu Muting didn't like her, maybe even looking at her would be an eyesore, but if a person doesn't like another person, he would feel that everything the other person does is wrong, even breathing the air under the same sky it is wrong. So, bear it, the best choice for her now. Ye Chenghuan's resignation made Gu Muting feel angry, so he said, "If you know it, go out and reflect on it" before motioning Ye Chenghuan to go out. Ye Chenghuan walked out of Gu Muting's office with the quotation in his arms. Gu Muting's assistant gave Ye Chenghuan a sympathetic look. Ye Chenghuan smiled and went downstairs. When she reached the sixteenth floor, she felt her head and stomach hurt even more. In desperation, she dug out a bottle of painkillers from her bag, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them before continuing to work. For several days in a row, Ye Chenghuan spent a lot of time at heavy work, and finally, after the matter temporarily came to an end, she breathed a sigh of relief. This day, it was rare for Gu Mulin to be in the company, so during the lunch break, he walked up to Ye Chenghuan and said, "Chenghuan, let's go, let's have dinner together." Ye Chenghuan didn't think about it, nodded, saved the information and went downstairs with Gu Mulin. Because Gu Mulin and the others had an important meeting to hold, they did not go far, but came to the staff restaurant on the first floor. The peak period of dining has passed, and at this moment, there are not many people in the staff restaurant. Noticing that his appearance made the few staff who were joking and joking quiet for a moment, Gu Mulin smiled and waved to everyone. Indicate that everyone is free.Everyone continued to talk and laugh, but the voice was a little softer than before. There were not many choices of food in the restaurant, so Ye Chenghuan ordered the relatively pleasing chicken chop rice. Sitting down at the dining table, Gu Mulin said with a smile: "I don't have time to have a good meal with you after I come back. I must find time to treat you to a good meal and comfort you." "Yeah." Ye Chenghuan smiled and took a bite of the rice. However, after taking the first bite, her brows wrinkled. The chicken chop rice here can only be seen in one way. Noticing that Ye Chenghuan's brows were already frowning, Gu Mulin pushed the barbecued pork rice in front of him and said, "Eat mine!" Gu Muting, who walked into the staff restaurant, saw the interaction between Gu Mulin and Ye Chenghuan, and frowned slightly, as if he felt that the two people in front of him were an eyesore.However, in the next second, he walked over, sat down beside them, and said with a strange expression: "The relationship between the two of you is really good!" Ye Chenghuan did not expect to meet Gu Muting at lunch time, and Ye Chenghuan sighed softly in his heart.She has recently become a human being with her tail clamped tightly, and she voluntarily disappeared within a radius of five hundred miles of him.However, he still has a way to find fault with his eggs. One phone call brought her back in front of him after a long distance, magnifying a small mistake infinitely. Yesterday he even found fault with saying that the distance between her forms was too small, It makes people look uncomfortable.She almost suspected that this fastidious guy was her immediate superior!She even felt that he had the ability to drive the saint crazy. The few employees who were joking before were smoking and chatting, smelling the smoke, Ye Chenghuan felt that the air he was breathing had become thinner, she frowned involuntarily, and fanned her nose with her hands. Ignoring Gu Muting's strange voice, Gu Mulin smiled and said, "You come to the staff restaurant too!" Gu Muting glanced at Gu Mulin, then his eyes drifted to Ye Chenghuan who was frowning because of the smell of smoke, and said, "Why, do you think I'm a light bulb?" Gu Mulin felt angry for a while, and he felt that in the past few years, every time he talked to Gu Muting, he had the urge to grab Gu Muting's neck and shake him fiercely. Ye Chenghuan, who was already suffering from a headache due to lack of rest and too much work pressure, felt even more uncomfortable. Even though she hadn't eaten anything, she felt her stomach churning, as if she might vomit it up in a second.However, if she leaves at this time, Gu Muting will definitely put on her the hat of "disrespecting the boss". "Miss Ye, I hope that your unsightly face is not because of my appearance." Gu Muting stared at Ye Chenghuan's pale face and said seriously. "No, general manager, you misunderstood." Ye Chenghuan replied softly, showing her face to others is not something she would do, especially if the person is him. However, she did not deny that his appearance made her even more uncomfortable . "So I misunderstood Miss Ye, sorry!" Gu Muting said "sorry", but he didn't have any sincerity in "sorry", but Ye Chenghuan didn't want to bother with him either. Although Gu Mulin, who has been busy with other things, didn't know that Gu Muting was picking on Ye Chenghuan recently, but he also found that the atmosphere between them was a bit weird. Mu Ting was talking about other things, so that Gu Muting had no time to focus on Ye Chenghuan. After taking a few mouthfuls of food indiscriminately, Ye Chenghuan left the staff cafeteria with the excuse that he still had something to deal with... Gu Muting's eyes followed Ye Chenghuan's back, not knowing what he was thinking. Gu Mulin, who saw everything in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mu Ting, do you have any opinion on Cheng Huan?" Gu Muting's eyes turned back to Gu Mulin's body, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile, and said, "She is your right-hand man, how dare I have a problem with her!" "Mu Ting..." Gu Mulin called Gu Muting helplessly, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gu Muting's attitude towards Ye Chenghuan was not like that of other people, as if he deliberately wanted to trouble Ye Chenghuan. "What? You think I have a bad attitude towards your sweetheart, and you want to vent your anger on her?" Gu Muting folded his hands on his chest and looked at Gu Mulin. "I didn't mean that, but if Cheng Huan didn't do anything wrong, your attitude would inevitably make people feel bad." Gu Mulin had already tried his best to find a relatively peaceful way to say it. "It really hurts!" Gu Muting said meaningfully. He felt that he would go crazy if he continued talking with Gu Muting, so Gu Mulin changed the subject and said, "I heard that your assistant will leave the job next month?" "En." Gu Muting replied casually, not interested in this topic at all. "Then have you found a suitable assistant candidate? Are you looking for someone to replace the assistant at the bottom, or are you recruiting someone from outside?" Originally, Gu Muting had no idea who would become his next assistant. As long as his assistant was strong enough to withstand the pressure, it would be fine. However, Gu Mulin's words gave him a choice, and he smiled. , said "you'll know" and left the staff canteen. Gu Mulin, who was left alone, looked at his back and sighed softly... Busyness is the portrayal of Ye Chenghuan's current life, but she also enjoys a busy life, because being busy allows her to focus all her attention on work and has no time to think about any annoying things. Two days ago, a small incident happened on the 17th floor. Gu Muting's assistant resigned because of her pregnancy. Thinking of Gu Muting's bad temper, Ye Chenghuan felt that it was a clear decision for his assistant to resign because of pregnancy. After all, a pregnant woman facing a bad-tempered boss all day may affect the healthy growth of the fetus. For the next person who will become Gu Muting's assistant, Ye Chenghuan sympathizes with that person in her heart, because in her opinion, working with Gu Muting is very inhumane. Ye Chenghuan, who was replying to a client's email, was called into the office by Gu Mulin.Gu Mulin looked at her, then looked away, then he opened his mouth, but didn't speak, as if he couldn't find a suitable opening sentence. Feeling that Gu Mulin's reaction was too unnatural, Ye Chenghuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Vice President, what's the matter?" "That...that's..." Gu Mulin looked very embarrassed, he finally spoke, but he still didn't say the main point. No matter how stupid Ye Chenghuan was, she knew that something related to her must have happened, so she said: "Vice President, if you have anything, just say it." Gu Mulin knew that there was something to be said no matter what, so he took a deep breath and said, "The general manager just made a personnel transfer and asked you to be his assistant." Ye Chenghuan blinked, and blinked again, thinking that she had auditory hallucinations at a young age, but seeing Gu Mulin's embarrassed face, she knew that what she heard just now was true. Gu Muting ordered a personnel transfer and asked her to be his assistant?What happened to Gu Muting?Gu Muting obviously made no secret of his dislike for her, but even transferred her to be his assistant, and transferred people he didn't like to be in front of him. Didn't he find it an eyesore?On a deeper level, she doesn't seem to have much love for Gu Muting. Don't two people who are not compatible work together look at each other and hate each other? Gu Mulin knew that Ye Chenghuan must have been very surprised to learn about this personnel transfer. In fact, he himself found it incredible.He also approached Gu Muting immediately, and Gu Muting just smiled and said, "Your assistant is so capable, I happen to be short of people here, so it would be great to ask your assistant to help. As for On your side, I will ask someone to transfer another assistant to you."At that time, he felt that Gu Muting's smile was an eyesore like never before. Although Ye Chenghuan didn't have any superfluous emotions on his face, after working with Ye Chenghuan for so long, Gu Mulin naturally knew that Ye Chenghuan was not in a good mood.After all, Ye Chenghuan was found by him. If Ye Chenghuan is not willing to be Gu Muting's assistant, then he is also obliged to escort Ye Chenghuan, so he said: "If you really don't want to go , I’ll go talk to the general manager again.” Ye Chenghuan looked up at Gu Mulin who was looking at him worriedly, and almost nodded. "Miss Ye really wants to let go of such a good opportunity for promotion?" Hearing such a familiar banter, Ye Chenghuan couldn't help complaining in his heart, did Gu Muting come to the sixteenth floor more frequently recently?She still remembered that Deng Yuting had said a while ago that she had no chance to meet the general manager, but now she could see him every few days. Turning his head, he saw Gu Muting walking into the deputy general manager's office with a document in his hand, and when he realized that Gu Muting's eyes were on him again, Ye Chenghuan lowered his head slightly and called out respectfully. One voice: "General manager." Gu Muting casually handed over the documents in his hand to Gu Mulin, walked up to Ye Chenghuan, stared at her, and asked again: "Miss Ye really wants to let go of such a good opportunity for promotion? " Ye Chenghuan didn't know how to answer.For others, changing from assistant to the deputy general manager to assistant to the general manager may really be a good opportunity for promotion, but for her, the boss is Gu Muting, even if the salary is better than the current one, she may not be able to Happier than now. Feeling that the atmosphere had become weird again, Gu Mulin quickly smoothed things over and said, "General Manager, Cheng Huan is just..." However, before Gu Mulin could speak, Gu Muting turned around and gave Gu Mulin a look, and said in a serious tone, "I'm asking Miss Ye." Unwilling to see Gu Mulin making things difficult for Gu Muting in order to protect himself, Ye Chenghuan raised his head and said to Gu Muting: "No, thank you for the promotion of the general manager." Hearing such an answer, Gu Muting smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he said: "Then Miss Ye, I hope to see you report to the seventeenth floor on time." "Yes." Ye Chenghuan said this, and watched Gu Muting leave. When only Gu Mulin and Ye Chenghuan were left in the deputy general manager's office, Gu Mulin called out worriedly: "Chenghuan..." Ye Chenghuan smiled at Gu Mulin and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it." She believed that as long as she did her part well and Gu Muting couldn't find fault with her, her life wouldn't be too sad. Didn't the ancients always say that when the sky is about to send a great mission to the people, they must first work hard on their minds and muscles.Take things easy and treat working with Gu Muting as the experience God gave her...
