Chapter 292: Chapter 292: The Future Father-in-Law’s Approval of That Scoundrel

But rather than Gu Yizhou giving Yan Luoxi a big surprise, it was her father who gave her an even bigger one!

Because at that very moment, her dad was sitting in her office, waiting for her.

...

「Two and a half minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou took the president’s exclusive elevator and arrived at the top floor first.

He froze for a moment as soon as he pushed open the door to the president’s office.

A man in a sharp suit was sitting on the reception sofa in the president’s office.

Gu Yizhou subconsciously glanced up at the sign on the door.

It was definitely the president’s office!

’Then who is...?’

Meanwhile, the man in the office was also taken aback when he saw Gu Yizhou.

’Why would a man suddenly appear in my daughter’s office?’

That’s right.

The man standing before Gu Yizhou was none other than Yan Luoxi’s father—the founder of Tidal Group, Yan Zhenbang!

A flicker of doubt crossed Yan Zhenbang’s eyes. He looked at the young man before him, unsure why he was in his daughter’s office.

Before he could speak, he heard Gu Yizhou say, "Hello, you must be here to see President Yan, right?"

"Yes."

Yan Zhenbang nodded.

After speaking, Gu Yizhou noticed there was no water in front of Yan Zhenbang, so he walked over to the water cooler, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to him. Then he said, "President Yan is downstairs, but she should be up shortly. Please have some water and wait a little while."

Seeing Gu Yizhou proactively pour him water and act so familiar with the office, Yan Zhenbang was slightly taken aback. However, as a former business tycoon, he naturally regained his composure very quickly.

"Alright."

He nodded again with a smile. "Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Gu Yizhou waved his hand and added, "Please, continue to wait here. I’m going to get back to my work."

"Of course."

Yan Zhenbang nodded. "Go on, don’t mind me."

Gu Yizhou gave a slight nod and said nothing more.

He then turned, returned to his desk, and began to handle the work on his plate.

As he processed the documents, he couldn’t help but sneak curious glances at Yan Zhenbang on the sofa.

Yan Zhenbang sat there, perfectly at ease, exuding a subtle yet distinct aura of calm and authority.

He held the cup Gu Yizhou had given him, swirling it gently, seemingly lost in thought.

Gu Yizhou felt that the middle-aged man looked somewhat familiar, but for the life of him, he couldn’t recall where he might have seen him before.

Just then, the door to the president’s office was pushed open again, and Yan Luoxi walked in from outside.

When she saw her father sitting on the sofa, she first froze.

Then, a second later, her heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously glanced at Gu Yizhou, who was sitting at his desk not far away, and then back at her dad.

’This...’

’My dad has met the dog man...’

Yan Luoxi panicked internally.

Outwardly, however, she maintained her cool demeanor. She walked over to her dad and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

’Dad?’

Gu Yizhou froze upon hearing that.

It finally dawned on him.

’So this middle-aged man is Yan Luoxi’s father!’

’No wonder he looked so familiar, like I’d seen him somewhere before.’

Seeing his daughter, a warm smile flashed in Yan Zhenbang’s eyes. "What, can’t an old dad come visit his daughter?"

"Uh..."

Yan Luoxi shook her head. "Of course you can. It’s just a little unexpected."

Knowing his daughter’s personality, Yan Zhenbang shook his head and said, "Alright, alright. I was just passing by the company on some business, and I heard from your mother that you’ve been working overtime these past couple of days, so I decided to drop by and see you."

"Oh, I see."

Yan Luoxi nodded at his words but didn’t say much else.

She knew her father’s visit today definitely wasn’t as simple as just "dropping by to see her."

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou, seeing that the father and daughter had things to discuss, got up from his desk. He walked over to them, intending to excuse himself and give them some space to talk.

"President Yan, you’re back."

Yan Luoxi gave a slight nod in response.

Then she turned to her father and said, "Dad, this is Gu Yizhou, from the CFA Professional Investment Analysis Team in the Finance Department."

As Yan Luoxi introduced him, Gu Yizhou politely addressed Yan Zhenbang, "Hello, Chairman Yan. My apologies, I didn’t recognize you earlier."

A look of admiration flashed in Yan Zhenbang’s eyes as he looked at the young man before him.

He waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, "Don’t worry about it. I haven’t been to the company in many years, so it’s perfectly normal."

"Haha~"

Gu Yizhou chuckled, then turned to Yan Luoxi and said, "Um... President Yan, some of the materials for the analysis project are missing. I’m going to head down to the Finance Department to grab a copy."

"Hmm?"

Yan Luoxi was taken aback for a moment.

But she quickly understood what Gu Yizhou meant and nodded. "Alright, go ahead. Thank you for your hard work."

"It’s what I’m here for."

Gu Yizhou said, "Well then, Chairman Yan, President Yan, I’ll be heading down. I won’t disturb you any longer."

With that, he turned and walked out of the president’s office, thoughtfully closing the door behind him for them.

Yan Luoxi slowly retracted her gaze only after his back had disappeared from view.

"Neither obsequious nor arrogant. That young man is quite impressive."

Yan Zhenbang commented.

Hearing her father’s words, Yan Luoxi glanced at him in surprise.

Her father was known to be very picky, especially with his employees, for whom he had incredibly high standards.

She’d heard from the elders in her family that back when her father was president of the company, basically everyone from the staff to the shareholders was a little afraid of him.

She never expected her dad to give Gu Yizhou such high praise after their very first meeting.

’Looks like this unexpected meeting between the dog man and my dad might be a good start after all!’

"Yes, he is quite impressive."

Yan Luoxi said with a nod.

"Hmm... you should give that young man more opportunities in the future. He should be a great help to you."

Yan Zhenbang said with a nod.

"Okay, I will."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

’If that dog man agrees,’

’I’d give him the whole company.’

She thought to herself.

Just as Yan Luoxi was lost in her thoughts, her dad spoke again. "Xixi, I heard from your mother that you’re bringing your boyfriend home for dinner this month?"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Here it comes!’

She just knew her dad’s visit today wasn’t as simple as just "dropping by to see her."

"I never said that. That was all Ms. Tang."

Yan Luoxi said with a deadpan expression.

Yan Zhenbang: "Uh... -_-||"
