Chapter 6 Chapter Six: The Little Man and the Gentleman

——His figure is so lonely, like walking alone on a path without beautiful scenery. Ye Chenghuan has to admit that becoming Gu Muting's assistant is not as scary as he imagined at first.She seemed to have used the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman before. Besides her, Gu Muting has another assistant named Mei Yuxuan. Everyone calls her Xiaomei. Xiaomei has a round face and looks very cute. The work of an assistant is similar, helping the boss to arrange the itinerary, answering some emails on behalf of the boss, filtering the phone calls of the boss... To use a more popular term, it is "handyman".

Recently, the company has taken over several big cases, and everyone in the company is busy with those big cases, and Gu Muting is no exception. One day, when Ye Chenghuan was busy looking for information, the phone on the desk rang, and she answered the phone wholeheartedly, and said politely: "Hi, who is it?" "Who? Are you asking who I am? Did you make a mistake? Are you new here?" A pampered female voice sounded beside her ears, Ye Chenghuan frowned slightly, but still said: "I'm indeed new here, who is Miss?" "He's really new here!" The other party said, "I'm Mu Ting's girlfriend, you should transfer the call to him immediately!"

The other party's commanding words displeased Ye Chenghuan, but she still said patiently: "You can directly call the general manager's cell phone." "When is it your turn as a little assistant to teach me how to do things? Mu Ting asked me to call this number when his cell phone was dead. Why did you block it? Do you think you can fly up to a branch and become a phoenix? Tell you, don't dream..." Hearing the other party's words, Ye Chenghuan felt a headache. However, the other party said that Gu Muting's cell phone was dead and he called this number. The call was transferred to the general manager's office.

After transferring the phone in, Ye Chenghuan took care of her own affairs again, and didn't take such a small incident to heart. However, after a while, the phone on her desk rang again, and when she picked it up, she heard Gu Muting's words. Not too good a tone. "Ye Chenghuan, come in for me!" It was the first time that Gu Muting called her by name and surname, Ye Chenghuan was surprised. Could it be that Gu Muting was going to start picking on her again? Surprised, Ye Chenghuan put down what he was doing and walked into the general manager's office. Gu Muting looked at Ye Chenghuan who walked in with a sullen face, and said, "Ye Chenghuan, what kind of harassing calls did you transfer to me?"

Harassing phone calls? Thinking of the phone call just now claiming to be Gu Muting's girlfriend, Ye Chenghuan was a little dumbfounded. Could it be that the woman just now was not Gu Muting's girlfriend, but a liar?No way?However, seeing Gu Muting's angry face now, she couldn't help but suspect that the other party was a liar. "You don't even filter your boss' calls. Did you do that when you were Gu Mulin's assistant?" Ye Chenghuan really wanted to refute, but she knew that her rebuttal would only get Gu Muting's cynicism, so she had no choice but to hold back the words she wanted to refute.When she was Gu Mulin's assistant, because she knew that Gu Mulin didn't have a girlfriend, she naturally wouldn't make the wrong call.

"Aren't you eloquent? Why don't you speak now?" Looking at Ye Chenghuan who was standing in front of him with his head bowed, Gu Muting felt that the anger in his heart was even greater. The call just now wasn't really a harassing call, it was just a thick-skinned woman who stuck to him. However, it was precisely because of that woman that he had an excuse to trouble Ye Chenghuan. "Sorry, general manager, I will pay attention to it in the future." Ye Chenghuan apologized. Looking at Ye Chenghuan who bowed his head and apologized to himself, Gu Muting always felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger.One of the reasons why he transferred Ye Chenghuan was because he liked Ye Chenghuan's ability. On the other hand, he admitted that he wanted to make things difficult for Ye Chenghuan.Because Ye Chenghuan's calm face really made him feel an eyesore.

However, she has already apologized, and if he continues to chatter about this matter, he will appear petty.So, he picked up a folder at hand, threw it in front of Ye Chenghuan, and said, "Organize these materials." "Yes." Ye Chenghuan replied respectfully, took the folder and left the general manager's office. Ye Chenghuan returned to his seat and dealt with the matter Gu Muting told him, but after a while, Gu Muting came out and said to Ye Chenghuan: "A meeting." Ye Chenghuan nodded, picked up the materials needed for the meeting and the notebook for meeting minutes, and followed Gu Muting into the meeting room.

After several hours of meetings, it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon. Gu Muting ordered Ye Chenghuan to sort out the minutes of the meeting within today, and he wanted to read them early in the morning. I sorted out the minutes of the meeting in my place... afternoon. From a cafe at the corner of the alley, bursts of mellow and strong coffee aroma wafted from time to time. There was soft piano music playing in the cafe, and Ye Chenghuan, who was sitting by the window, squeezed the sore back of his neck, and took a sip of the coffee in front of him. "I thought we could see each other often after you came back, but I didn't expect that you have been busy since you came back." Zhang Weiwei complained in a low voice, "Senior Gu is really, to enslave you like this."

Ye Chenghuan smiled wryly, and said, "I'm no longer the senior's assistant." "What?" Zhang Weiwei's voice was a little raised. She looked at Ye Chenghuan with wide eyes and said, "What's going on? Why aren't you his assistant anymore?" Ye Chenghuan explained the matter to Zhang Weiwei concisely. "So you've been promoted now and become an assistant to Senior Gu's cousin?" "En." Ye Chenghuan responded softly, and his brows furrowed unconsciously. "Ye Xiaohuan, you've already been promoted and your salary has been raised. Why do you still have a bitter face? Could it be that your new boss treats you badly?" Zhang Weiwei looked at Ye Chenghuan curiously. Ye Chenghuan had never seen anything other than calm on his face.

In front of his friends, Ye Chenghuan made no secret of his dislike for Gu Muting. When she first transferred to the seventeenth floor, she really thought that she was treating a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but after a long time, she realized that she was not a villain, and Gu Muting was not like a gentleman at all. Half a dime has nothing to do with it!Sometimes, she felt that Gu Muting was looking at her with a magnifying glass, and he could infinitely magnify any trivial mistake. Yesterday, a partner came to visit, and she made tea for the partner, but the partner didn't even touch the cup of tea. After the partner left, Gu Muting taught her: "Don't you know his face? Does it say 'I love coffee'? You even make tea for him! Next time you see what he wants before you make it!"

Hearing what Gu Muting said, she was speechless. Didn't she set up a fortune-telling stall under the flyover, okay?How could it be possible to tell that the partner had "I love coffee" written on his face?Besides, she had already asked the partner what he wanted to drink, and he said "anything".From her point of view, Gu Muting was just making use of it, but she couldn't conflict with Gu Muting and give him a chance to teach her a lesson. Zhang Weiwei looked at Ye Chenghuan carefully, and seeing Ye Chenghuan's eyes glowing with anger, she said, "It sounds like it's a little too much!" "Exactly!" Ye Chenghuan nodded in agreement and said, "Also, this morning, he bought me breakfast." "Breakfast?!" Zhang Weiwei's eyes widened, she seemed to smell "adultery"!For the things Ye Chenghuan said just now, she always felt that Gu Muting deliberately wanted to attract Ye Chenghuan's attention. Ye Chenghuan glanced at Zhang Weiwei, who was eager to hear gossip, and said angrily: "It's not what you think. My great boss said, 'I read the news that someone had food poisoning after eating the breakfast here. Sent to the hospital, I want to see if it's true'!" Thinking of Gu Muting's sloppy face this morning, she still feels like there is still a fire in her stomach.Gu Muting really has the ability to piss people off. If one day, she really can't help but curse him behind his back with the paper-made man, she won't be surprised at all! "Uh, I'm really black-bellied." Zhang Weiwei said something. "It's not just a black belly, I think he's black from top to bottom, I've never met such an annoying boss!" Ye Chenghuan took a sip of the coffee in front of him as he spoke. Noticing that Zhang Weiwei had been looking at her and smiling from just now, Ye Chenghuan moved his body unnaturally, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Weiwei shook his head and said, "Ye Xiaohuan, I am very happy to see you like this." "Happy?" Ye Chenghuan's face was full of puzzlement. She was almost pissed off by her immediate boss, but her good friend still felt happy? "Well." Zhang Weiwei nodded and said: "In the past few years, no matter what happened to you, you always looked calm, as if the sky fell and you were covered by a quilt, even if you later worked with Senior Gu, You are still the same, I was always worried about you before. Although you are very popular now, but ah, there is a radiance on your face, I am very happy to see you like this. " Ye Chenghuan was speechless. In the past few years, because she tried her best to forget the unhappy things and bury the past, and because her life at home was peaceful, there were not many things that could affect her emotions, so her state of mind was always Very peaceful, of course, in Zhang Weiwei's words, it's like a pool of stagnant water.However, has she really changed now? "Although your boss is indeed somewhat annoying compared to Senior Gu, but if things go on like this, I think he can change you." "It can indeed be changed, because I will be pissed off soon." Ye Chenghuan replied angrily. Just as Ye Chenghuan finished speaking, her cell phone rang. Hearing Ye Chenghuan's cell phone ringtone, Zhang Weiwei said in surprise: "Don't you hate this kind of music the most?" Without even looking at who was calling, Ye Chenghuan shook the phone at Zhang Weiwei and said, "Hateful music and annoying people are a perfect match!" After hearing Ye Chenghuan's words, Zhang Weiwei burst out laughing. Not wanting to be pissed off by a boss with a bad personality at a young age, Ye Chenghuan tried her best to imply to herself that "good women don't fight with bad men", and, as long as she doesn't make mistakes in business, Gu Muting is not easy to find fault with her , just treat everything as the experience that God gave her! On this day, Ye Chenghuan reported the day's itinerary to Gu Muting like the previous days. After reporting the day's itinerary, Ye Chenghuan did not leave Gu Muting's office immediately. Gu Muting looked at her with raised eyebrows and said, "Is there anything else?" Doesn't this woman look like some monster in his office every time, and slip away as soon as he finishes talking?Why are you still here today?I looked at the sky outside through the whole piece of floor-to-ceiling windows, there was no cloud in the sky, and there was no red rain! Holding the documents in her arms tightly, Ye Chenghuan reported in a businesslike tone: "Miss Xu Manxuan called four times this morning and asked me to tell you that tomorrow is her birthday, please make time to have dinner with her. " She used to be Gu Mulin's assistant, and occasionally helped Gu Mulin deal with the sticky peach blossoms, but she rarely met someone as annoying as Miss Xu Manxuan. Today, if Gu Muting entered the company later, she might He will be so annoyed by Xu Manxuan that he can't do anything. "Xu Manxuan..." Gu Muting muttered, trying to connect this name with a vague face and make it concrete. Oh, it's her!He remembered the woman he met at a reception two months ago. That woman seemed to be a popular model recently, and they had dinner several times afterwards.He didn't have much impression of those women, anyway, they were just tools to relieve boredom, and they could be easily dismissed with some gifts. "Help me pick out a gift with flowers and a card." "yes." "It's written on it..." He said while tapping on the smooth tabletop, "Don't bother me in the future." Ye Chenghuan froze for a moment, Gu Muting really didn't care if his words would bring unpleasantness to others!I hope that Miss Xu Manxuan won't be so angry that she will distort her delicate face when she receives Gu Muting's card. After answering "Yes", Ye Chenghuan still didn't leave. "Is there anything else?" Gu Muting raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Chenghuan, feeling that something was really wrong with his assistant today. "En." Ye Chenghuan nodded slightly, then took out a leave form from the file, and said, "I want to ask for leave on Friday, and I hope the general manager will approve it." "Ask for leave?" Gu Muting looked at Ye Chenghuan, did not reach out to take Ye Chenghuan's leave form, and asked, "Why?" "I have some personal matters to deal with." Ye Chenghuan replied. "You know you have an important meeting coming up on Friday." "I know, I will ask Xiaomei to take the minutes of the meeting on my behalf." Ye Chenghuan's tone was a little tougher than before, and he said, "General Manager, I have something very important to deal with, please approve it." Ye Chenghuan's tone made Gu Muting frowned slightly. It was the first time he heard her speak to him in such a strong tone. If he didn't know something was wrong, he might have asked her why it was so important. up. He didn't open his mouth to agree to her request for leave, but said: "The leave form is here, I'll look at it later." Ye Chenghuan put the fake on his desk, and said "I hope the general manager approves" before leaving Gu Muting's office... Gu Muting looked at Ye Chenghuan's leaving back, and then took a look at the fake slip she put on his desk.Her handwriting is neat and elegant, just like her impression.However, thinking of her insistence just now, a somewhat sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.His assistant, at first glance, would think that she is just a non-aggressive girl, but from her rebellious attitude towards him when they first met, he knew that , she is definitely not as simple as she appears on the outside. Gu Muting finally approved Ye Chenghuan's leave. After getting off work on Thursday afternoon, through the transparent glass window, he saw Ye Chenghuan's face with an unconcealable relaxed and happy expression. Ye Chenghuan like that was something he had never seen before. Not long after, Gu Mulin appeared on the seventeenth floor and left with Ye Chenghuan... Seeing that scene, Gu Muting's eyes sank slightly. On Friday, he wanted to find a document, but for a moment he forgot where it was placed, so he called Ye Chenghuan. When he heard the unique noise of an amusement park coming from the other end of the phone, His complexion became even more gloomy, and he dialed the phone to go down to the 16th floor. Gu Mulin's assistant said that after he asked for leave today and did not return to the company, his complexion could already be described as the mountain rain is about to come and the building is full of wind... An eyesore, an eyesore, a very eyesore. Ye Chenghuan walked into the office with an unmistakable smile on the corner of his mouth, and said "Good morning" to everyone with a smile.Although Ye Chenghuan usually greeted people with a smile, but it wasn't like today, it made people feel that she was in a good mood. Looking at Ye Chenghuan through the glass window, Gu Muting felt that the smile on the corner of her mouth was extremely glaring, so glaring that he really wanted to knock that smile off her face... Ye Chenghuan turned on the computer, and when she was about to start a day's work, Xiaomei, who took the minutes of the meeting on her behalf on Friday, brought the meeting minutes in front of her and said, "Chenghuan, the general manager asked you to sort out the minutes of the meeting. he." "Okay." Ye Cheng smiled happily and took the meeting minutes handed over by Xiaomei, quickly glanced at one side, then called up some materials from the computer, and sorted them out. However, after a while, the phone on her desk rang, and when she answered the phone, before she could speak, Gu Muting said "Come in for a cup of coffee" and hung up the phone. Ye Chenghuan could only put down half of what he was doing, and went to the tea room to make coffee for Gu Muting.After serving the coffee to Gu Muting, not long after Ye Chenghuan returned to his seat, Gu Muting asked her to buy sandwiches a few streets away from the company... Ye Chenghuan vaguely knew that Gu Muting did it on purpose, but she couldn't say anything more. After all, Gu Muting was her boss, and she was also a boss who disliked her. Since she decided to go up to the seventeenth floor, she She was already mentally prepared, but she really had to say that Gu Muting's methods were really not very clever! After the whole morning, Ye Chenghuan was constantly called by Gu Muting to do this and that. Of course, the meeting minutes he had confessed before could not be sorted out before the lunch break.Fortunately, during the lunch break, Gu Muting invited a client to have lunch, and she didn't have any extra thoughts to deal with her, so she had time to sort out the minutes of the meeting... In the afternoon, Gu Muting returned to the office and saw that Ye Chenghuan had sorted out the minutes of the meeting and put them on his desk. He felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger... Seeing the documents on the desk, he dialed Ye Chenghuan's internal number and asked her to photocopy the documents... Because other assistants were using the photocopier in the general manager's office, Ye Chenghuan walked to the public photocopy room with the document in her arms. She put the document into the photocopier and pressed the number of copies required. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gu Muting is deliberately making things difficult for her.She couldn't help thinking, if she didn't break through Gu Muting's embarrassing side on the first day back to the head office, she wouldn't be picky and confronted by Gu Muting now. The number of photocopies that Gu Muting asked her to make was a bit large, and she leaned against the wall, not wanting to go back immediately, and let go of her thoughts. "Who do you think is likely to be the final winner in the company?" A crisp discussion came from the next door. Ye Chenghuan was a little surprised that he didn't expect to hear someone talking about the company.The place she was in was the photocopying room in the public area, the door she entered was the tea room, and the place where the voice came from was the meeting room next door. Two photocopiers in the company failed, and the good one was occupied by her, so the desktop photocopier in the conference room was used as a substitute.Several female colleagues from the business department met there, and chatted about right and wrong by the way. The door of the meeting room was not closed, and the door of the photocopying room was also fixedly open. The conversation in the meeting room sounded very clear. "It's really hard to say! Have you heard that the general manager transferred the vice president's assistant in order to cut off the deputy general manager's hands and feet so that the vice president can't compete with him." Hearing such words, Ye Chenghuan's heart "thumped" for no reason.She thought that Gu Muting would name her to be his assistant because his assistant just resigned, and she offended him unintentionally, so he had a legitimate reason to embarrass her, but he didn't expect that it was possible There is a deeper reason.Suddenly, what Gu Muxi once said broke into her mind: "Mu Ting, you are really good, you have started to win over people around Mu Lin so soon, that's right, besides Mu Lin, you also I don't know who to win over!" Before, she thought that her coming to the seventeenth floor was just a willful transfer of personnel by her boss, but she didn't expect that things seemed not as simple as she imagined. "Actually, I think that besides the vice president, our manager is also very competitive!" A female employee in the business department said, "The recent performance of our department is very impressive!" "That's what I said, but the vice president has also won a few big cases recently, and I don't know who will win in the end!" "That's right. Although the vice president has lost a right-hand man, he is still the most competitive. I think those directors like him very much!" In the past, Ye Chenghuan only cared about her own work, and felt that the company's internal struggle had nothing to do with her, but unexpectedly, she seemed to be involved as well.Suddenly, she felt as if her heart was being weighed down by a big rock, and she was no longer as relaxed and happy as she was in the morning... Suddenly, someone reached out and tapped her on the shoulder. She looked back and was stunned for a moment... Gu Muting! With a cup of hot coffee hooked between his fingers, he leaned against the wall next to the photocopier, listening to gossip with her. "Boss, general manager..." Ye Chenghuan's heart was filled with surprise, how could Gu Muting appear here?Is it coffee?its not right?He has been treating her like a little sister recently, and he has never done things like making coffee himself.How could he be here now? In her opinion, Gu Muting is an extremely stingy person. Those who offend him will never have a good life, and she is a living example. Out of love among colleagues, she seems to speak out There are some signals to warn the neighbors, but the friendship between her and her colleagues is not deep. If Gu Muting blamed her for warning others, wouldn't she be even more unable to bear it? It's nothing to do with yourself, so don't meddle in your own business. Gu Muting stared at Ye Chenghuan with interest, her face turned red because of his sudden appearance just now, but her face quickly returned to calm, not as overwhelmed as he expected. Sometimes, he really felt that this woman's calm face was an eyesore, as if nothing could make her have emotional ups and downs. He lowered his voice, and said in Ye Chenghuan's ear: "You must be very happy to hear such words! Putting aside the relationship between you and Gu Mulin as seniors and juniors, you were single-handedly picked up by him. At that time, even if he kicks me down, he will definitely not treat you badly. Maybe, I transferred you to my side, which is actually in his arms." Ye Chenghuan looked at the man in front of him who had something to say, and his eyes were full of puzzlement. Why, she couldn't understand what he said?What does it mean that he transferred her to Gu Mulin's arms? Could it be that there is something else in the middle that she doesn't know? "It seems that I should really isolate you from him, so that I will be a little safer." Gu Muting had a meaningful smile on his lips, then turned and left. Ye Chenghuan looked at his back, and felt that the mind of this man who had been with him day and night was extremely deep.To put it bluntly, he almost regarded everyone around him as an enemy. During the time she was with Gu Mulin, she never felt that Gu Mulin wanted to fight against Gu Muting. Gu Muting felt that everyone had malicious intentions, and he was full of defense against everyone. He was always on guard, didn't he feel tired? For some reason, looking at Gu Muting's back, she felt that he was extremely lonely, as if he was walking alone on a path lacking in beautiful scenery. Thinking of such a scene, her heart actually tugged. It felt like someone was holding her heart tightly, and even breathing seemed to become difficult. And the back of the man in front of her actually made her feel distressed. What's so distressing? Even if he walks alone on the road that lacks gorgeous scenery, it is his choice!There is no lack of people who care about him around him, it is he who pushes everyone's concerns away! Since it was his own choice to go alone, she didn't need to feel sorry for him! But why, my heart, seems to be disobedient, but still feels pain for him? Shaking her head, she put all those strange thoughts in her mind to the back of her mind, and quietly left the photocopying room without disturbing the gossipers in the meeting room...
