Chapter 8 Chapter Eight It Was You

——What should I do to bring everything that has gone off the rails back to the normal track? "Button", Gu Muting tapped lightly on the desk with his fingers, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked at Ye Chenghuan's position through the open door. After she met his gaze, pretending to be busy, she immediately moved away. After the typhoon, they returned to City G. After returning, he felt that something was wrong with Ye Chenghuan. No, it should be said that Ye Chenghuan had become something wrong since the night of the typhoon blackout. At that time, she stood in front of him, holding her breath, her face turned blue because she forgot to breathe, until he said "breathe", she came back to her senses, exhaled a big breath, after that, she panicked Glancing at him for a few moments, he staggered out the door, as if he had been hit hard...

Then, she kept trying to avoid him. Although, usually, when she looked at him, she seldom met his eyes, but never like these few days, as long as she met his eyes, she was like a frightened little white rabbit. Thinking of her reaction, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and things seemed to be getting more and more interesting... Ye Chenghuan in the assistant's room forced herself to focus all her attention on the information on the computer screen, but her heart couldn't calm down. There was only one thought in her mind, he was looking at her again! Thinking of his more compelling gaze than before, she felt that she forgot to breathe again.

Ever since that day, when she saw the birthmark on Gu Muting's back, her thoughts have been in a state of "continuous cutting and chaos"... That birthmark, she had seen before.That birthmark belonged to three years ago, to that night she was eager to forget, on the man with whom she had a one-night stand! That day, before leaving, she couldn't hold back the strange turmoil in her heart. She turned her head to look at the man she had sex with, but with his back to the door, she couldn't see his appearance clearly. He has a flaming birthmark on his back. Although she has been trying her best to forget the people and events of three years ago, the flame-like birthmark is deeply engraved in her mind, and occasionally appears in her dreams, but now, that flame is on her In front of her eyes, burning her heart.

She knew in her heart that she couldn't identify a person just by a birthmark, but when she met his eyes that day, although his eyes were not as gentle as those three years ago, they were still the same as she remembered them. She really never dreamed that the man she had sex with three years ago would one day become her boss! She has been trying her best to escape from the people and things that happened three years ago, but she never thought that God made a big joke on her and let the people from three years ago appear in front of her. What's next?Is God going to spread out everything that happened three years ago?

She couldn't help biting her lower lip lightly, Gu Muting shouldn't recognize her, right?On that night three years ago, they kept the lights off all the time. He probably didn't see her clearly, just like she didn't see him clearly. If it wasn't for the birthmark, she wouldn't have recognized him that day. Yes, he probably didn't recognize her as the person three years ago. If he recognized her, he wouldn't say nothing. It's okay, Ye Chenghuan, it's okay, he doesn't recognize you, as long as you don't make mistakes in business, as long as she tries not to attract his attention, resigns after a while, and stays away from his sight, you don't have to worry about your secrets being stolen. debunked.

Ye Chenghuan kept hypnotizing himself in his heart, telling himself that nothing would happen.Moreover, even if Gu Muting recognized her, there might not be anything wrong.Maybe, for a person like him, one-night stands are commonplace, and the night with her meant nothing to him. Trying to suppress those messy thoughts, Ye Chenghuan exhaled lightly, wanting to exhale the depression lingering in her heart, took a deep breath, and forced herself to focus on the work in front of her... However, the more she wants to concentrate, the more she feels that she can't concentrate, because thinking about the things with Gu Muting, her work efficiency has been greatly reduced these days.

Standing up, took the cup, went to the tea room to make a cup of tea for herself, to see if she could calm down a little, who knew that she just finished making the tea, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Muting standing behind her, her eyes fixed on her. Looking at her, she was startled unprepared, the cup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered to the ground with a clang, Gu Muting took a step back, but the hot tea still wet his trousers... "Boss, general manager, sorry, I, I didn't know you were here." Ye Chenghuan lowered his head and said anxiously. Murphy's Law, the less you want something to happen, the more it will happen.

In the same way, it can be proved that the more you don't want to see the person, the more you will meet unexpectedly. Recently, she has tried her best to avoid Gu Muting, but the frequency of seeing him is higher than before. Gu Muting ignored the wet trousers. He folded his hands in front of his chest. Like before, he looked at Ye Chenghuan with probing eyes and asked, "Ye Chenghuan, what's the matter with you? Why are you out of your mind all day long? Yesterday, I also gave the business department the documents to be sent to the finance department!" Ye Chenghuan lowered his head, still apologizing: "General Manager, I'm sorry, I..."

Before Ye Chenghuan could finish speaking, Gu Muting said, "Although I don't know what happened to you, I hope you can focus on your work during working hours." "yes." "Also, no mistakes are allowed at the old chairman's birthday party!" After saying this, Gu Muting left the tea room. Looking at Gu Muting's back, Ye Chenghuan sighed heavily in her heart, she really worked hard to treat Gu Muting as a normal boss, but when his thoughtful eyes were on her She would feel that her breath stopped, her thoughts began to wander, and she couldn't concentrate, which is why she made low-level mistakes. She even had a premonition in her heart that if she stayed by Gu Muting's side any longer, Her secret will be revealed...

After all, this place is not her place to stay for a long time! The seventy-fifth birthday of the old chairman of Lecheng Trading Group was held in the high-end restaurant of the five-star hotel.The banquet site is in the form of a buffet, and the tables around are filled with all kinds of delicious meals, which makes people move their index fingers when they see it.Flowers were dotted around the venue, and the elegant fragrance of flowers filled every corner of the venue. The venue was full of well-dressed guests. The male guests were discussing their topics, whether it was recent political affairs or business topics, while the female guests were also in small groups, laughing from time to time.

The well-dressed Ye Chenghuan had delicate light makeup on his face, and his hair was loosely tied behind his head with blue hair, only two small locks slipped down his ears and temples, and fell on his fragrant shoulders.She was wearing a white skirt with slanted shoulders, the skirt was ankle-length, with a pair of three-inch high heels on her feet, and the skirt swayed gently with her steps. Today, she was present as Gu Muting's female companion.She couldn't understand, so many women called Gu Muting all day long, as long as he nodded, she believed that there were many women waiting in line to attend such a banquet with him, why did he want her to be his female companion. However, even though she was Gu Muting's female companion in name, Gu Muting left her behind as soon as she arrived at the banquet and went to nowhere.Gu Muting was not in her line of sight, she felt a lot more relaxed, and even prayed in her heart that Gu Muting had better not appear in front of her tonight, otherwise, she didn't know that she would have a ghost in her heart. He will not make mistakes in front of Gu Muting. At this moment, she is standing behind a pillar with a glass of champagne in her hand. Several executives of the company did not notice that there was someone behind the pillar, they lowered their voices and discussed—— "Do you think the old chairman will announce the new successor today?" "The mind of the old chairman is not so easy to guess. I heard that those people are already ready to move, especially the business department." "I guess, the successor may be between the general manager and the vice president. After all, the two of them are the ones who have contributed the most to the company. Moreover, in the past few years, their promotion speed has been faster than others... ..." Ye Chenghuan's heart sank when he didn't expect to hear the supervisor discussing the upcoming personnel changes in the company's top management at the meeting. Although Gu Muting and Gu Mulin are members of the Gu family, when they first joined the company, they all started from the grassroots and rose up step by step.Compared with other cousins ​​who are not involved in production, Gu Muting and Gu Mulin's achievements are much more dazzling, and Gu Muxi is following closely behind the two of them. Gu Muxi has made it clear that he wants to teach them. "Although the general manager is very likely to become the next successor, I heard that many people in the Gu family are dissatisfied with the general manager, and the results of the business department are so impressive recently, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes in the end." Ye Chenghuan, who was behind the pillar, felt a little irritable when she heard these words, but she couldn't leave at this time. If the executives who were discussing enthusiastically outside knew that she was here, it would only be embarrassing for everyone to meet in the future . Fortunately, those supervisors stopped the discussion just now because of the participation of others, and then moved to other places... hotel room. A hale and hearty old man sat on the chair.The old man's eyes are sharp, his eyes are not cloudy at all, his eyes are restrained, he is full of wisdom, domineering and majestic, his handsome and profound face is full of heroism, he is the protagonist of today's banquet, Gu Muting's grandfather, Gu Muting Next Ming. Standing next to the old man was a man of his age. The man was serious and unsmiling. He was an old butler who had served the Gu family for more than forty years. At this moment, the old man was looking at the person sitting opposite him, and said slowly: "Do you still remember the agreement between me and you? If you don't get married before the age of thirty, I will pick one of your cousins heir." Gu Muting lowered his head slightly, and replied respectfully: "I remember." "Just remember! Also, don't marry those dubious women into your home!" Gu Muting still lowered his head, with a respectful expression on his face, however, there was a trace of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth. Now, success is still in the hands of the old man. If he wants to achieve success, he must agree to the old man's conditions and continue to play the role of a good grandson in front of the old man.Otherwise, maybe one day the old man has a convulsion, and he will be very upset if he gives the success to that group of people.He would rather destroy his success than give it to those people! Just... get married? Thinking of having to face the same woman day and night for the rest of his life, he felt irritated.Marriage is the tomb of freedom. No matter how much you love that woman at that time, as long as time goes by, that strong love will disappear in the daily necessities, and even the person you loved deeply at the beginning will become disgusting. It's hard for Gu Muting to imagine the scene where he spends his whole life with a woman. There was a knock on the door, the old man said "come in", and the door was pushed open from the outside. Gu Muxi opened the door and walked in. He walked up to the old man without even looking at Gu Muting, and said respectfully, "Grandpa, the guests are all here, it's time to start." The old man nodded, and said to Gu Muting who was standing by the window, "Muting, you come down too." With the support of Gu Muxi, he left the room with a cane. The old housekeeper took a look at Gu Muting and quickly Follow the pace of Gu Yiming. Gu Muting looked at the direction where the old man left, with a look of disgust on his face. Just now, when the old man reminded him to marry a woman and go home, he really thought about finding a random woman to go back to deal with, but the old man has already Now that he has spoken, he can only dispel that thought... marry? What a hassle! Cursing in the bottom of my heart, I slowly went downstairs.When he went downstairs, the old man happened to have finished the guests' speeches. He looked around the venue and saw Ye Chenghuan talking to Gu Mulin in the corner. Without thinking about it, he walked towards his female companion tonight... Staring at Ye Chenghuan, who was not in good spirits, Gu Mulin frowned slightly, and asked, "You don't seem to be in good spirits, are you insomnia again?" Ye Chenghuan stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed his sore temples, and replied: "Well, I haven't slept well recently." The quality of sleep was not good. After she recognized that Gu Muting was the man she had a one-night stand with three years ago, it became even more difficult to fall asleep. Every day, she worried about when Gu Muting would recognize her and when she would marry her. The secret she had been hiding so hard was revealed, and with her heavy workload recently, she had reached the point where she had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep. Gu Mulin said softly: "If you are under too much pressure, give yourself a vacation. Your body is the most important thing." "I know." Ye Chenghuan replied, after thinking about it, he still expressed his thoughts: "Senior, I want to resign." It was Gu Mulin who wanted her to come to Lecheng to work. Although she was no longer Gu Mulin's assistant, she felt that it was necessary to tell Gu Mulin because of emotion and reason. "Resign?" Gu Mulin's voice was a little raised, as if he didn't expect Ye Chenghuan to say such a thing. "Ok." Ye Chenghuan nodded, resigning was a decision she made after careful consideration.Because of bad spirits and ghosts in her heart, she has often made mistakes these days. Although it is not a big mistake, she is worried that if this situation continues, maybe one day, she will make irreparable big mistakes. wrong.Therefore, before the mistake occurs, she wants to get away from this place where mistakes may be made. "why?" Ye Chenghuan instinctively wanted to answer, but realized that the voice was coming from behind her, she turned around and saw Gu Muting walking towards them, she felt her breath stopped again, her eyes moved away, and her footsteps almost moved open. Gu Mulin, who didn't want Gu Muting to misunderstand him, said, "Mu Ting, Cheng Huan is just..." Gu Muting raised his hand to interrupt Gu Mulin's words, carefully observed Ye Chenghuan's subtle mood swings, he smiled, walked between the two of them, stared at Ye Chenghuan who was obviously avoiding something, and asked Said: "I treated you too poorly?" Trying to calm down, Ye Chenghuan replied softly: "No, the general manager treated me very well." Compared with assistant general managers of other companies, her treatment is much better.It's just that treatment has never been the reason for her success in coming or leaving. Gu Muting nodded noncommittally, and then asked: "I'm too harsh on you?" "No, the general manager has a clear distinction between public and private, and he is a rare good boss." Ye Chenghuan answered kindly. Aside from Gu Muting talking about her, the other assistants think that Gu Muting is a rare and good boss, and they can learn a lot by his side.As for Gu Muting's targeting of her, it was because she saw Gu Muting's distressed side, which only showed that her luck was not good enough. Gu Muting nodded, seemingly satisfied with Ye Chenghuan's answer.He looked at Ye Chenghuan, and said with distress on his face: "I treat you very well, and I am not harsh on you. If you want to resign, others will think that I have a problem, so it will be difficult for me to do so." "General manager, I..." Ye Chenghuan wanted to refute, but seeing Gu Muting's undeniable expression, she knew that it was useless for her to argue with him now, so she swallowed all her words back to the bottom of her heart . Seeing Ye Chenghuan's moody look, Gu Mulin couldn't help but said, "Mu Ting, don't get me wrong, Cheng Huan is just too tired recently." "Cheng Huan?" Gu Muting raised his eyebrows, and said to Gu Mulin with a half-smile: "You are so affectionate! Mu Lin, you are really different to my assistant!" When Gu Muting said such words, Ye Chenghuan felt her heart tremble, but she couldn't say anything. Gu Mulin gave Gu Muting a weird look, and said, "Cheng Huan is my junior." "I know." Gu Muting smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all, and he said to Gu Mulin: "Cheng Huan is my girlfriend tonight, I still have something to say to Cheng Huan, just Excuse me first." Gu Muting hugged Ye Chenghuan and left, looking at the two backs that depended on each other in front of him, Gu Mulin's eyes darkened, Gu Muting's attitude towards Ye Chenghuan was very different... Hearing that Gu Muting called himself "Chenghuan", Ye Chenghuan was completely dumbfounded. He used to call her "Miss Ye" politely, and when he was angry, he would call her "Ye Chenghuan" by name, but now Her "Cheng Huan" made her feel uncomfortable all over. Already dumbfounded, she didn't even notice that Gu Muting had hugged her waist intimately, and led her to a corner where no one was in the venue. "Have you been dazed enough?" Gu Muting said in a cold tone, but his eyes were fixed on Ye Chenghuan's face. Ye Chenghuan came back to her senses, and noticed that Gu Muting was looking at her with a different cold gaze than before, her heart sank, and she immediately asked: "General manager, do you have anything to tell me? " "Just now I was so intimate with Gu Mulin, but now I'm facing me with an attitude of 'assistant facing the boss', Ye Chenghuan, you are really good!" Gu Muting said in a strange voice. Ye Chenghuan was silent, she didn't know that Gu Muting could make a fuss about this.She and Gu Mulin were originally seniors and juniors, so compared to ordinary bosses and subordinates, they would naturally kiss a little bit more, and Gu Muting knew this a long time ago, and it is unreasonable to speak in such a weird tone now ! However, seeing Gu Muting's expression now, she still decided that "silence is golden". However, Ye Chenghuan's silence angered Gu Muting. He stretched out his hand, squeezed her chin with his right hand, and said almost gnashing his teeth: "Ye Chenghuan, look at me!" Ye Chenghuan, who was forced to raise his head, bumped into a pair of deep eyes unexpectedly. Three years ago, she had inadvertently indulged in these eyes, but compared to the gentle eyes three years ago, the eyes in front of her were full of cold colors, which made her burst into tears from the bottom of her heart. chill. "Ye Chenghuan, you are as tender as water to Gu Mulin, but you are cold to me. You like Gu Mulin, right? You like him, right?" Gu Muting held Ye Chenghuan tightly The chin, so that she could not escape his sight, looked straight into the depths of her eyes, as if to see clearly the deepest secret she hid in her heart. Ye Chenghuan wanted to break free from Gu Muting's shackles, but was worried that his actions would make him even more angry, so he could only stand in front of him docilely. I don't know if it's her illusion, she always feels that today's Gu Muting is a little weird, and the things that make things difficult for her are different from the previous ones. In the past, he often made things difficult for her at work, but today, he used her relationship with Gu Mulin to make things difficult for her. Mu Lin's attitude is intimate, let alone that she didn't do anything outrageous with Gu Mulin tonight, even if she was really "close" to Gu Mulin, he doesn't have the right to accuse her, does he? ? Without Ye Chenghuan's answer, Gu Muting continued to say coldly: "You want to leave? You want to resign? You want to go to Gu Mulin's side, right? Ye Chenghuan, let me tell you, it's not that easy!" Feeling that Gu Muting's attitude was a little more excited than before, Ye Chenghuan explained: "No, I didn't think that way, I was just too tired and wanted to take a vacation." Ye Chenghuan's words made Gu Muting's face slightly relieved, he let go of Ye Chenghuan's chin, and seeing Ye Chenghuan quickly lowered his head, he said again: "If you don't want to leave, just stay here obediently Don't play any tricks on me before the old man announces the final heir, Ye Chenghuan, I warn you, you can't play tricks on me!" Ye Chenghuan raised her head and looked at him in astonishment, remembering the discussion with the supervisor just now, the company's top personnel changes are imminent, even if she is an inconspicuous assistant, it is still inappropriate to make any changes at this time. But... you guys? Did Gu Muting think too much!She didn't know if Gu Mulin wanted to be the heir, but she didn't mean to help Gu Mulin bring him down at all. Could he stop treating her as an enemy? Doesn't he feel tired of treating everyone as enemies like this? Thinking of him treating everyone around him as an enemy, Ye Chenghuan felt distressed towards him, a corner of his heart was quietly collapsing... "Ye Chenghuan, you'd better remember what I said today. If you dare to play tricks, I will definitely make you regret it!" After leaving these words, Gu Muting turned around and left the field like a warrior who had won a battle. Ye Chenghuan looked at his back, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth... Nothing has changed, Ye Chenghuan is still Gu Muting's assistant, and there are still endless things to deal with every day. The lights in the general manager's room on the seventeenth floor have been turned off, but the lights in the assistant's room are still on. Ye Chenghuan focused on the computer, typing on the keyboard quickly, and only when Gu Muting left the office every day , she can concentrate on her work. Thinking of the influence that Gu Muting had brought to her, she sighed softly in her heart.Although she promised that Gu Muting would not leave before the old chairman announced the new successor, but as long as the matter of the successor came to an end, she would definitely leave here, far away from Gu Muting, to a place where they would never meet. meeting place. The thoughts in her heart made her tap the keyboard a little harder than before. At this moment, her mobile phone rang, and seeing the caller ID on the mobile phone screen, the expression on her face instantly softened. She held mobile phone, walked to the small balcony in the tea room, and answered the phone with a brisk tone... After a long time, she hung up the phone and left the tea room, just as someone opened the door and walked in. Gu Mulin who came in smiled and said after seeing Ye Chenghuan: "I knew you were still here." After the phone call, Ye Chenghuan, who was in a good mood, smiled back and asked, "Senior, do you have anything to do with me?" "Tomorrow is your birthday, don't you forget it?" Ye Chenghuan smiled, but didn't answer. In fact, she was so busy that she forgot that tomorrow was her birthday. However, the phone call just now reminded her. "I don't have time tomorrow, so let's celebrate with you in advance. Can you go?" "Just wait until I turn off the computer." Ye Chenghuan walked to the computer, saved the unsaved data, then picked up the bag and left the seventeenth floor with Gu Mulin... When she returned to the company the next day, Ye Chenghuan actually received a cake from someone else, but there was no card on the cake. For a moment, she couldn't figure out who would give her the cake.Although she was very surprised, she still shared the cake with her colleagues during the lunch break.Reminded by her colleagues, she cut a small piece of cake and brought it into Gu Muting's office. Who knew that he just looked up when he was reviewing the documents, and before she could speak, he said coolly, "I don't eat sweets." At that time, Ye Chenghuan understood what it means to "stick a hot face with a cold butt". At first, she still guessed who sent the cake, but Ye Chenghuan didn't have extra energy to think about that little problem due to her busy work, so she quickly put it behind her. Until a few days later, Gu Muting, who was in a meeting with people outside, asked her to go to his office to find a document. She saw a card from a cake shop under the business card holder on his desk, and that cake shop happened to have a birthday. The family that gave her the cake that day. At that time, Ye Chenghuan felt another warm current flowing through her heart. However, thinking of the past with Gu Muting and Gu Muting's attitude towards her, she quickly warned herself that it was impossible for Gu Muting to send cakes to her. She, everything, is just a coincidence.After taking the documents, she quickly left Gu Muting's office...
