Looking at the stars

Chapter 5 Startled

On my first day at work, I didn't receive any difficult work tasks. I basically just learned about the company's situation and helped Gary with his work.

But Gu Nianbei never likes to fight an unprepared battle.

So after efficiently handling the trivial tasks given to her by Gary, she added more work to herself, trying to grasp as much internal information of the Ye Group from all aspects as possible in case of emergency.

After working overtime, it was past eight o'clock in the evening and Gary, who was sitting next to him, had long disappeared. Gu Nianbei didn't know whether he had gone out to do other work or had already finished get off work.

Looking up at the closed door of the president's office not far away, Gu Nianbei did not see the owner of the office today.

She smoothed her long wavy hair, turned off her computer and went home after get off work.

On the way back to the apartment, she passed by a large supermarket. She remembered that she had not eaten yet so late and had no appetite, so she walked into the supermarket, intending to buy something to fill her stomach.

After pushing the shopping cart and looking around the shelves for a few times, Gu Nianbei finally only took two buckets of instant noodles.

While I was queuing to pay, there was a freezer next to me, which was filled with Haagen-Dazs ice cream.

Gu Nianbei suddenly felt a little greedy. She opened the freezer door, reached out to pick up a set, and just when she was about to close the door, she noticed the price. The label clearly read ￥264.00.

Gu Nianbei looked down at the Haagen-Dazs products in his hands, swallowed, hesitated for several seconds, and finally put them back in the freezer.

Too expensive…

Now she can no longer enjoy products of this price.

After paying the bill, Gu Nianbei slowly carried two buckets of instant noodles out of the supermarket. Suddenly, it was windy outside and the big tree nearby was rustling in the wind, and many leaves fell off.

Gu Nianbei looked up at the sky and saw raindrops falling sparsely on her face.

Summer rain comes suddenly.

She didn't bring an umbrella...

Gu Nianbei quickly walked into the 7-11 convenience store nearby to shelter from the rain, ordered a serving of fish balls, and sat on the windowsill, eating while watching the rain outside.

Liu Jiayi's new drama is finally going to air! Have you seen the trailer?

I watched it, the pace is very good, and I feel that this drama will be good too!

Are you kidding me? Liu Jiayi's dramas must be excellent. I'm waiting for her dramas to solve my drama shortage...

…

Two female voices came from beside me, excitedly chatting about today's hot search content.

Gu Nianbei took a glance and saw that they were wearing school uniforms and looked like high school students.

Bored, Gu Nianbei passed the time by listening to them gossiping.

After waiting for a while, the rain became much lighter. Gu Nianbei picked up his things and walked out, running back to his apartment in the drizzle.

When she returned home, her hair was a little wet. Afraid of catching a cold, she went to the bathroom to take a shower first.

After taking a shower, Gu Nianbei came out wrapped in a bath towel, turned on the TV, and sat on the sofa, wiping his hair from time to time.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Nianbei paused for a moment, she looked towards the door and pricked up her ears to listen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was indeed someone knocking on the door, and Gu Nianbei became alert. She quickly picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, then quickly returned to her room to change her clothes. When she came out again, the knocking sound was still there.

She grabbed her cell phone, walked lightly to the door, opened the peephole and looked outside.

I saw Su Yetong standing outside the door with a bunch of things in her hands...

Gu Nianbei breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the door and said to Su Yetong: Why are you here?

Why does it take so long to open the door? It's so heavy! Su Yetong walked in carrying something and complained.

Gu Nianbei locked the door, glanced at Su Yetong, and said unhappily: "Please! If you want to come to my place, at least call me in advance to let me know. Just now you were knocking on the door, and I thought it was a debt collector. I was so scared!"

Really? Su Yetong put the things on the coffee table, turned around, blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Nianbei, and said: I called you! You didn't answer!

Gu Nianbei heard it and took a look at his phone. There were indeed three missed calls...

Ok...blamed the wrong person...

I just came back and got caught in the rain, so I went to take a shower and didn't pay attention to my phone. Gu Nianbei sat on the sofa and started looking through the things Su Yetong brought. He found that they were all food...

Why did you bring so much food? Gu Nianbei asked curiously.

Su Yetong was sweating after all the hard work. She fanned herself with her hands and looked everywhere for the air conditioner remote control, saying: I'll prepare some for you first, so that you don't have to skip meals now that you're so poor.

Gu Nianbei was at a loss for words at the moment. It turned out that her best friend understood her best... She had just gone to buy instant noodles.

Su Yetong finally found the remote control and turned the air conditioner to a very low temperature, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

How is it? Today is your first day at work. How do you feel? Su Yetong asked while sitting on the sofa.

Gu Nianbei shrugged and said with a smile: I was given difficulties when I was applying for the job, what do you think?

No way? Su Yetong opened her eyes wide, her face full of suspicion: Why would Li Xiangnan do this?

Gu Nianbei spread his hands and said: As for whether this is Li Xiangnan's intention, I don't know. It may also be the intention of his current assistant Gary. In short, his attitude is not friendly.

If the first day is not easy, then there will be no good days in the future. Su Yetong lifted the long hair beside Gu Nianbei's ear and persuaded him: "Why don't you try the company I introduced to you?" You don't have to suffer from Li Xiangnan.

It can't be said that I was bullied. Don't worry, I, Gu Nianbei, am not so easy to get rid of. Gu Nianbei smiled with ease.

Seeing that Gu Nianbei refused to compromise, Su Yetong stopped trying to persuade her. She rolled her eyes and suddenly asked curiously: How is Li Xiangnan? How handsome is he?

Huh? Gu Nianbei was caught off guard by this question. When she mentioned Li Xiangnan, the only thing that came to her mind was the tightly closed door of the president's office...

Gu Nianbei cleared his throat and said: Um... I haven't actually met him in person yet.

...Su Yetong opened her eyes wide.

Gu Nianbei: All day today, it was his former assistant who was communicating with me.

Su Yetong frowned slightly and said: Why do I have a vague feeling that Li Xiangnan doesn't welcome you as his assistant?

This job was introduced by Li's grandfather. After all, I was not the person chosen by Li Xiangnan himself, so he might have some objections. Gu Nianbei could more or less guess some of the reasons. She smiled and said: A family like theirs, the inside story is not simple. It's OK as long as there is money, I don't care whether I meet the boss or not.

Gu Nianbei grabbed the towel and continued to wipe the hair that he had just wiped halfway. He seemed to be open-minded about the matter.

Su Yetong glanced at the instant noodles on the coffee table at this time, and immediately pointed at them and said to Gu Nianbei: Wow! Did you not have dinner and plan to eat instant noodles again?

Gu Nianbei pursed his lips, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: I did plan to eat instant noodles, but it rained halfway, so I went to 7-11 to eat something else.

Oh! By the way, is that actress Liu Jiayi signed with your company? Gu Nianbei thought of the conversation between the two students at 7-11 and immediately changed the subject.

Liu Jiayi? She is signed to our company. Su Yetong asked in confusion: Why are you talking about her suddenly?

I saw her hot searches today. Didn't she say her new drama will be airing soon? Gu Nianbei continued.

Indeed, for a celebrity of her level, it is easy to promote her new drama. Her fans are so powerful that the company doesn’t even need to arrange for hot searches. Su Yetong said with a smile.

Gu Nianbei: Once an artist becomes a first-tier artist, they can basically bring their own resources.

Eh? Yes, I would have forgotten about Liu Jiayi if you hadn't mentioned her. Su Yetong suddenly slapped her thigh.

Gu Nianbei rolled his eyes at her. What are you doing? She was startled.

Isn't that Li Xiangnan's girlfriend Liu Jiayi? Su Yetong suddenly grabbed Gu Nianbei's arm and said.

Really? Gu Nianbei was slightly surprised and muttered: I actually forgot to investigate the boss's love history. What a dereliction of duty.

However, they are not very ostentatious and rarely appear in public together. But their relationship is a secret known only to a few people in the industry.

Su Yetong patted Gu Nianbei's shoulder and comforted him: So it's not that you've failed in your duty. Even if you go and check, you probably won't find anything.

Gu Nianbei raised his eyebrows and smiled. It was indeed an inevitable law that a rich young man would be paired with a top female artist.
