Looking at the stars

Chapter 16 First Visit to the President's Office

The next day, Gu Nianbei went to the company earlier than usual.

After all, she had worked hard to get the contract last night, and this time she couldn't let Gary take away her credit behind her back.

At the very least, she wanted to get the bargaining chip to meet Li Xiangnan.

When Gu Nianbei arrived, the door of the CEO's office was closed, and Gary had not come yet. She put Huizhong's contract on the table and began to eat breakfast leisurely while waiting for someone to come.

Opening today's hot search news, in the entertainment news, Liu Jiayi's new drama still occupies a prominent position on the hot search list.

"The Story of Chenxiang" will be aired at 10 o'clock tonight. This is Liu Jiayi's first attempt at a fantasy drama, and the topic is relatively novel. The popularity of this TV series is quite high.

Gu Nianbei remembered the information Su Yetong mentioned to him that day: Liu Jiayi was Li Xiangnan’s girlfriend.

Gu Nianbei, who was originally not interested in TV dramas of the type "Chenxiang Ji", still decided to click on the video trailer.

After watching a few minutes of the trailer, Gu Nianbei couldn't help but sigh that Liu Jiayi's acting skills were still worthy of praise.

Gu Nianbei had just returned to China and was not particularly familiar with the situation in the domestic entertainment industry, but she was familiar with actors of Liu Jiayi's caliber.

Liu Jiayi has always claimed to the public that she is single, and even the opposite s*x who have been involved in scandals with her are very few. She can be considered a breath of fresh air in the industry.

However, in reality, Liu Jiayi already had a boyfriend, and the other party was a person like Li Xiangnan.

Gu Nianbei was a little confused about this. Logically speaking, it should be beneficial for Liu Jiayi to make their relationship public under such circumstances, after all, the other party was Li Xiangnan. However, why did she keep it secret?

Just as Gu Nianbei was lost in thought, he heard the sound of footsteps.

Noticing the noise, Gu Nianbei turned off the screen of his mobile phone and put down the breakfast in his hand.

The person who came was Li Xiangnan, and following behind him was his assistant Gary.

Good morning! Mr. Li.

Gu Nianbei stood up on his own initiative and greeted Li Xiangnan who was not far away with a smile.

Li Xiangnan raised his eyes and glanced at her briefly, nodded to show that he received her greeting, and then went straight back to his office...

Gu Nianbei raised his eyebrows and thought: What a cold and aloof person he is.

At this time, Gary walked towards her and said: I sent you a message yesterday but you didn’t reply.

Oh, I was busy at the time, so I didn't reply. Gu Nianbei answered casually.

How was yesterday's cooperation? Gary asked hesitantly.

In fact, he could probably guess the result. After all, when he went upstairs with President Li just now, President Li did not blame him, so nothing that shouldn't have happened should have happened.

Signed. Gu Nianbei raised his lips and smiled, and replied with only two words.

As expected, Gary nodded, extended his hand to Gu Nianbei and said: Then give me the contract and I will send it to President Li.

Gu Nianbei looked at Gary in silence for a few seconds, then picked up the contract on the table but did not hand it to him.

She said: I'll take it in for Mr. Li. I just happen to have something to discuss with him.

Gary was about to reject her, but he suddenly changed his mind and thought that he had made a mistake yesterday, after all, so there should be nothing wrong in letting Gu Nianbei go in and talk to President Li this time.

So Gary changed the subject and said: OK.

Gu Nianbei felt puzzled as he felt that Gary's agreement this time was unexpectedly smooth.

Taking the contract to the president's office, Gu Nianbei knocked on the door three times, looked inside, and called out: President Li.

In the huge president's office, I waited for a few seconds before I heard a reply: Come in.

Gu Nianbei took a deep breath and walked into the president's office holding the signed Huizhong contract.

This was the first time she stepped into Li Xiangnan's office since she started working there.

The man sitting at the desk had a lazy posture, but he exuded a powerful aura.

Gu Nianbei moved closer step by step, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet those cold and deep eyes. Once again, he couldn't guess what he was thinking at this moment.

This is the contract for cooperation with Huizhong, and Mr. Liu has already signed it.

Gu Nianbei handed the contract to Li Xiangnan and explained his purpose in a calm tone.

Li Xiangnan took the contract and flipped through a few pages without any change on his face. He put the contract on the table and said casually: The contract that Gary couldn't handle was easily handled by you.

Have you had similar work experience before? Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Gu Nianbei frowned slightly, having not expected that Li Xiangnan would ask this as soon as he opened his mouth.

She smiled slightly and answered briefly: I had done an internship abroad before.

This answer was quite nonchalant. Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows and didn't intend to ask any further questions.

Although you were introduced by my grandfather, to work here at Li Xiangnan, you must first know how to do things. If you don't handle things beautifully, I will not show mercy even if you got in through the back door. Do you understand?

Li Xiangnan looked into Gu Nianbei's eyes and said with a smile.

clear.

Gu Nianbei did not avoid looking away. She simply followed Li Xiangnan's words and expressed her own thoughts:

If I don't do my job well, I will willingly accept the company's handling, but at the same time, if I have outstanding qualities, I also hope that the company can see my advantages.

Having said that, Gu Nianbei took a look at Li Xiangnan's face, mustered up the courage to continue:

I am very grateful to Mr. Li for giving me the opportunity, and I also cherish this job. From the first day I joined the company, I did not dare to have any fluke mentality and always reminded myself to do my job seriously.

Gu Nianbei paused and said: As an employee of the company, I also hope that... I can be treated fairly and justly when working in the company.

Gu Nianbei deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "fair and just". She hoped that Li Xiangnan could hear what she was implying.

Li Xiangnan tapped his index finger on the table twice. He naturally understood the meaning of Gu Nianbei's words. However, there were very few people who dared to speak so blatantly in front of him.

He felt that the woman standing in front of him was becoming more and more interesting.

Have you been treated unfairly since you started working here? Li Xiangnan asked with a faint smile on his face.

Hmm? For a moment, Gu Nianbei suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

This time, she deliberately made her words obscure yet clear, hoping that Li Xiangnan would understand her meaning and stop deliberately making things difficult for her...

But she never expected that Li Xiangnan would choose to bring up this topic that he already knew the answer to!

Gu Nianbei blinked and thought, doesn't he know whether she was treated unfairly?

Asking despite knowing the answer! Li Xiangnan used this trick on her because he knew that she didn't dare to answer the question directly!

Gu Nianbei pondered for a while, and finally, in order to maintain harmony and make money, she had to force a smile and replied:

Probably not yet. I just joined the company and Gary seems to value me. He has assigned me some important tasks in the past few days.

When Li Xiangnan heard this answer, he curled the corners of his lips and said: Since there is no such thing, you can’t say those words just now casually. If people who are not familiar with the situation hear it, they will think that our Ye Group is unfair to new employees.

Gu Nianbei lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth secretly.

As I just said, things have to be done beautifully in my place, and this includes speaking.

Li Xiangnan looked up at her. After all, she was still young and smart, but she was choked back by him after just a few words.

At first glance, she looked quite beautiful when she was silent and lowered. It had to be said that she was quite pleasing to the eye. Li Xiangnan suddenly remembered what his mother had said that day: she was very pretty, and it would be nice to have her around to please the eyes.

I will pay attention next time. Gu Nianbei put away his emotions and nodded in response.

Li Xiangnan hummed softly, waved his hand and said to her: Go out if you have nothing else.

Gu Nianbei held back his anger and quietly left the president's office.

The moment she left, she thought: Sure enough, the rumors were right. Li Xiangnan is really a difficult person to deal with...
