Chapter 330: Got the Chills, Didn’t You, Kid?

Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Got the Chills, Didn’t You, Kid?

"Hmph!"

"We’ll talk when we see him!"

"Anyway, I’m not letting that kid off so easy. I’m going to give him a hard time!"

Tang Wanfang said in a huff.

...

Over at Tidal Group.

At a desk in the finance department.

ACHOO!

Gu Yizhou was scrolling through stock market updates when he suddenly let out a sneeze. His nose felt itchy, and a chill ran down his spine...

’Did I catch a cold?’

He rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "With my current physique, that shouldn’t be possible!"

Shaking his head, he didn’t dwell on it.

He had drunk a little too much tea at lunch, so Gu Yizhou got up, planning to head to the restroom to relieve himself.

Just as he stood up, he happened to run into He Mingyi, Song Sisi, and a few others walking in from outside.

It looked like they were back from lunch.

They came face to face.

"Brother Zhou."

He Mingyi greeted him with a grin.

Gu Yizhou asked casually, "Did you guys go out for something good? You’re just getting back now, and it’s almost time to start work again!"

He Mingyi tsk-tsked. "We had grilled fish. It was really good. Too bad you weren’t there."

Beside him, Song Sisi invited, "Brother Yizhou, want to come with us next time?"

Gu Yizhou nodded quickly. "Sure, let’s go together when we have time."

After a few more words, Song Sisi and the others returned to their desks.

Gu Yizhou then turned and headed to the restroom.

When he returned, he saw He Mingyi beside him, staring at his phone with a huge smile.

"What’s with the creepy smile?"

Gu Yizhou teased, "Watching porn in the office in broad daylight?"

"Uh... (⊙o⊙)..."

He Mingyi’s face flushed slightly. "Brother Zhou, you can’t just say things like that!"

"Then what’s the good news that has you smiling like that?"

Gu Yizhou said casually, touching the tip of his nose.

"Sigh."

"It’s nothing, really. I just came across a pretty interesting novel recently."

"I think the premise is really interesting."

He Mingyi explained, shaking his head.

"Oh?"

Lately, Gu Yizhou had also been following that novel about the CEO who turns into a cat, so hearing it was a novel, his interest was suddenly piqued.

"What novel? Let me see."

Gu Yizhou said offhandedly, "It’s not one of those ’Hooligan Teacher’ or ’Village Vixen’ types, is it?"

"Uh... not quite that bad."

He Mingyi shook his head. "Here, look. It’s this one, called *Oh, My God! My Cat Is Actually a Female CEO*."

He then passed his phone to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou glanced at the screen and froze.

’Isn’t this the same novel I’m following?’

What a coincidence.

"Uh... I’m reading this novel too. It is pretty interesting."

Gu Yizhou said casually.

"Oh?"

"Brother Zhou, you read this novel too!"

He Mingyi’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

"Yeah."

Gu Yizhou nodded. "The plot and character setup are quite interesting, so I gave it a read."

"Exactly!"

"I just think the female CEO turning into a cat is hilarious, but really interesting."

"It’s just that the damn author updates so slowly. He only releases two Chapters a day, and always late at night. I have no idea what he does during the day. Even a mule on a collective farm works harder than him! Seriously!"

"I see in the group chat, basically all the fans are begging for more Chapters! The comment section is also full of readers complaining!"

He Mingyi said.

"Uh..."

Hearing He Mingyi’s words, Gu Yizhou shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He said casually, "Maybe the author really is busy during the day."

"Pah!"

"I don’t care about that!"

"The main thing is that this damn author always leaves a cliffhanger right when it gets to the good part, and it’s killing me! Waiting for updates is torture!"

"If I knew this damn author, I’d tie him to a chair and make him write for me."

"If he didn’t pump out 20,000 words a day, he wouldn’t get to eat!"

He Mingyi said, grinding his teeth.

Uh...

Twenty thousand words a day... no food if you don’t finish...

’That bastard is ruthless!’

’It sounds a bit inhumane!’

However!

Gu Yizhou was all for it!

Because he had also finished all the available Chapters and was waiting for an update!

After the two of them chatted for a bit longer, it was time to get back to work.

Gu Yizhou sat back down at his desk, ready to finish off his remaining tasks.

After all, he couldn’t let a little work get in the way of clocking out on time, right?

Even though!

’This company belongs to my girlfriend’s family, and it’ll be partly mine in the future.’

’But!’

’Working overtime is impossible!’

’Not in this lifetime!’

Gu Yizhou swore to himself.

But!

He never would have guessed.

The slap in the face would come so quickly...

BZZZ BZZZ BZZZ—

Gu Yizhou was in the middle of handling some documents when he suddenly got a call from Yan Luoxi.

"Are you free right now? I need you to do me a favor."

On the other end of the line, Yan Luoxi’s voice sounded a bit rushed.

"I’m free. Go ahead, what do you need my help with?"

Gu Yizhou said.

"Can you come to my office?"

Yan Luoxi said, "I have something I need your help with."

"Okay, I’ll head over right now."

Gu Yizhou agreed without a second thought.

After hanging up, Gu Yizhou left his desk and headed directly for Yan Luoxi’s office.

Two and a half minutes later.

Gu Yizhou arrived at the top-floor CEO’s office.

Yan Luoxi was standing by the window, gazing at the view outside, lost in thought.

Hearing the door open, she quickly turned to look at Gu Yizhou.

"How did you get here so fast?"

Yan Luoxi asked, a little surprised.

"When it’s you, of course I’d hurry over."

Gu Yizhou smiled slightly, then asked, "So, what do you need my help with?"

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, the company is preparing to invest in a project recently, but I don’t know much about it and I’m not confident. So, I wanted to ask for your help analyzing its feasibility."

"No problem. Send me the relevant project files and I’ll take a look."

Gu Yizhou agreed without a second thought.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

’I knew asking this jerk for help was absolutely the right decision.’

’The man’s talent and insight in business were on a level I could never hope to match.’

With him helping to analyze this project, she felt reassured.

Soon, Yan Luoxi sent the relevant project files to Gu Yizhou.

After receiving the files, Gu Yizhou began reviewing them immediately.

...

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was half past three in the afternoon.

Gu Yizhou finally finished reading through all the project files and had analyzed their pros and cons.

He looked up at Yan Luoxi and said, "Alright... I’ve finished with the files and I’ve prepared a detailed analysis report. You can take a look."

As he spoke, he turned his computer screen toward Yan Luoxi so she could see his analysis.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi quickly leaned in to take a look.
