Chapter 282: Chapter 282: The Rumors Are True! Are President Yan and Gu Yizhou Dating?

"..."

Hearing Yan Luoxi’s words, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but feel the corner of his mouth twitch.

’Bad connection, my ass!’

’This woman is just a shameless liar!’

Although that’s what he was thinking, Gu Yizhou obviously couldn’t say it out loud.

"Oh, it’s like this, President Yan. The receptionist said she needs your permission to let me up to the President’s Office."

He said to Yan Luoxi on the video call, "So, if you could..."

"Oh, I was busy and forgot about that."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi finally remembered she had forgotten to inform security about the damn man.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, hand the phone to the receptionist. I’ll have a word with her."

"Alright, President Yan."

Gu Yizhou nodded and handed his phone to the receptionist beside him.

"Hello, President Yan~"

The receptionist took the phone and greeted her, sounding hurried and a little nervous.

"Yes... I’ve approved Gu Yizhou’s access to the President’s Office. You can open the security gate and let him through."

Yan Luoxi said with a nod.

"Yes, President Yan."

Hearing this, the receptionist nodded quickly. "I’ll let him through right away!"

"Oh, one more thing."

Yan Luoxi suddenly remembered something and added, "While you’re at it, enter his information into the security system for the President’s Office. From now on, he can come and go as he pleases."

The receptionist was stunned for a moment.

Then she immediately recovered and nodded hastily. "Of course, President Yan. I’ll take care of it shortly."

"Mm."

Yan Luoxi nodded. "That’s all. Let him through for now. I’ll be at the office soon."

With that, she hung up the video call.

Gu Yizhou was standing right there, so he had naturally overheard their entire conversation.

"Alright, Engineer Gu, here’s your phone back."

The receptionist said with a smile as she returned the phone to Gu Yizhou.

Then, she immediately opened the security gate to the President’s Office, letting Gu Yizhou pass.

"Thanks. Sorry for the trouble."

Gu Yizhou reached out, took his phone, and said with a smile.

"Not at all, Engineer Gu. I’m the one who caused you trouble."

The receptionist waved her hands dismissively, saying with some embarrassment, "But it’s my job. I hope you don’t mind."

If she had known Gu Yizhou was on such good terms with President Yan, she would have let him through from the start.

’This guy is someone to latch onto!’

Because she suddenly recalled a rumor that had been circulating around the company some time ago.

It was said that President Yan had gone on a dinner date with Gu Yizhou from the Finance Department.

At the time, many people said it wasn’t true.

’Now that I think about it, it just might be true after all!’

"Ah well~"

"It’s no problem."

"I’ll head up to get to work then. See you later~"

Gu Yizhou said with a smile.

"Of course, Engineer Gu. Don’t let me keep you~"

The receptionist said with a smile.

Gu Yizhou nodded, and without another word, turned and took the elevator upstairs.

The receptionist stared at Gu Yizhou’s retreating back, lost in thought for a moment.

Only after he had entered the elevator did she look away.

Then she immediately sat down and began entering Gu Yizhou’s personal information into the security system for the President’s Office.

...

「10:00 AM.」

Yan Luoxi arrived at the office.

After parking her car in the underground garage, she took the president’s private elevator straight upstairs.

’I’ve kept that damn man waiting in the office for so long.’

’I wonder if he’s getting impatient.’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

She had actually tried to drive as fast as she could on the way here.

But since it was the weekend, there was a lot of traffic.

So she was still a little late.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou was sitting on the sofa in the President’s Office, bored and playing on his phone.

"It’s already ten o’clock?"

"What’s with this woman, Yan Luoxi?"

"She makes me come in for overtime, but she’s not even here this late."

He muttered under his breath.

He had thought about sending Yan Luoxi a message to ask where she was, but then decided against it.

’If she’s not coming, she’s not coming!’

’I’m getting paid overtime for this anyway.’

’Getting paid for doing nothing... not a bad deal when you think about it.’

...

Having sat for too long, a bored Gu Yizhou stood up and stretched.

Then he began to wander casually around the President’s Office.

’You have to admit, this woman really knows how to live.’

’This entire top floor is just for her.’

’A dining room, a kitchen, a lounge, a bedroom, a bathroom... it has everything!’

Feeling a little thirsty, Gu Yizhou walked over to the nearby refrigerator, planning to grab a bottle of water.

He pulled open the fridge and took a look inside.

It was full of things like bird’s nest soup and other supplements.

There were a few bottles of water, though.

Gu Yizhou grabbed one, opened it, and took a sip.

"Huh?"

Just as he was about to close the refrigerator door, he suddenly noticed a box of dumplings inside.

’And why does the packaging for these dumplings look so familiar?’

Gu Yizhou was a bit puzzled.

He was just about to take the box of dumplings out for a closer look.

Just then, he heard the sound of a door opening and closing outside.

Uh...

Gu Yizhou froze for a second.

’That must be Yan Luoxi.’

So he closed the refrigerator door and walked out.

Yan Luoxi, meanwhile, found it a bit strange.

The office door was open, but when she walked in, she couldn’t see Gu Yizhou anywhere.

’Where’s that damn man?’

’Did he go to the bathroom?’

Just as Yan Luoxi was wondering, she saw Gu Yizhou walk out from the direction of the kitchen.

"Uh..."

"President Yan, you’re here!"

"Um... I was a little thirsty, so I went to get a bottle of water."

Gu Yizhou said, holding up the water bottle in his hand.

"Oh, okay."

Yan Luoxi nodded nonchalantly. "From now on, just help yourself to whatever you need."

She didn’t seem to mind at all.

Of course.

This was only because it was Gu Yizhou.

If it had been anyone else, she wouldn’t have been so accommodating.

After all, Yan Luoxi was known to be a bit of a germaphobe!

She didn’t like anyone touching her things without her permission.

After speaking, Yan Luoxi walked over to her executive chair, casually took off her overcoat, and hung it on the nearby coat rack.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou also walked over.

After Yan Luoxi had settled her things and sat down in her chair, he finally spoke up slowly, "President Yan, what’s the work assignment for today’s overtime?"

Yan Luoxi glanced up at him and said casually, "Have a seat for a bit. There’s no rush."

There was no helping it.

She didn’t have a damn work assignment for him.

The only reason she’d asked Gu Yizhou to come in for overtime was simply to see him and spend time alone with him to nurture their relationship.

As for the actual work assignment, she’d just have to find something later.

"Uh..."

Seeing how unconcerned Yan Luoxi was, Gu Yizhou felt a little helpless.

’Seriously.’

’If you’re in no hurry, then why did you make me come in for overtime so early?’

’Unbelievable!’

’Damn capitalists!’

Gu Yizhou was completely at a loss for words.
