"Stop thinking, you're not her, how can you know what she's thinking? Eat quickly!" Jiang Yan put a piece of pork rib on her plate.
"She said she wants to invite us to her wedding and that she doesn't know anyone else in the capital. Do you want to go?" Ning Xin hesitated a little. She was best friends with Jiang Lingyu, and it wouldn't feel right if she didn't go.
"Let's see, not necessarily." Jiang Yan didn't want to go. The thought of that fake rich second-generation made her feel disgusted.
Ye Wan said she didn't have time. Her brother's surgery was imminent, and she needed to make money.
Ning Xin thought about going by herself later. Jiang Lingyu's previous actions had hurt Jiang Yan and Ye Wan, so it was normal for them not to want to go.
...
After school in the afternoon, Ye Wan bought five more lottery tickets at the lottery station. After buying them, she took the bus heading to Gu's Group.
Previously, she entered Gu's Group with Manager Zhang. Now, she was alone. The receptionist recognized her, but when she learned that Ye Wan wanted to see the CEO and had no appointment, she said Ye Wan couldn't go up.
"If you have the CEO's phone number, you can call him and ask the secretary to come down and fetch you," the receptionist suggested with a smile.
Ye Wan had no choice but to take out her phone and call Gu Yunting. He didn't answer after two calls. It seemed Gu Yunting was still angry. She asked, "Can I wait for him here then?"
"Of course, the resting area is over there." The receptionist gestured with a sweet smile.
Ye Wan then went to the resting area with her schoolbag and sat down.
As soon as she left, the receptionist's expression changed as she sat down. She sneered, "People nowadays really dream too big. They think a few days of cooperating with the company will win them the CEO's favor? They even come to find the CEO privately. Do they really think this is a novel?"
The receptionist took out hand cream and applied it to her hands.
A colleague smiled and said, "It's normal for pretty girls to dream big. They think they can get a sugar daddy with a bit of beauty, but unfortunately, our CEO is not interested in women. Her plans will likely fall through."
After mocking for a while, the two of them went back to their own work.
Ye Wan waited until the company's closing time. She watched the employees leave one by one. Finally, even the receptionist left, and she still hadn't seen Gu Yunting.
By this time, she was both thirsty and hungry. When everyone had left, a security guard came over and asked, "Miss, we're going to lock up. Aren't you leaving?"
"Has CEO Gu left?" Ye Wan asked.
"He probably hasn't left yet. CEO Gu usually works overtime until eight or nine o'clock before leaving. According to regulations, no one can stay here." The security guard's meaning was clear: she couldn't wait here anymore.
Ye Wan had to get up and walk out. Outside Gu's Group building, she looked back. The imposing and magnificent building made her feel dizzy. She now realized that if Gu Yunting didn't want to see her, it was difficult for her to even meet him once.
It didn't matter what happened to her, but the matter of Aunt Sun the housekeeper couldn't be delayed any longer. If it was delayed further, Aunt Sun would truly have to go back to being a maid. Ye Wan didn't want anyone to get hurt because of her.
Gu Yunting could do whatever he wanted to her; she could bear it. But Aunt Sun was innocent.
The more Ye Wan thought about it, the more distressed she felt. When she reached the bus stop, she felt she couldn't just go back like this. She didn't know if she could see him today if she went back. She now deeply regretted being scared away by his coldness yesterday. This time, no matter what, she had to talk to him about Aunt Sun's work.
So, she returned to the outside of Gu's Group, found a corner, sat down, took out her notebook and books, and started doing her homework, her gaze occasionally glancing at the main entrance.
