Looking at the stars

Chapter 6 Not That Simple

The next day.

Gu Nianbei walked into the company in the early morning sunshine, came to his office, and habitually looked up in the direction of the president's office.

The door was open...

Gu Nianbei's expression changed slightly, and what she saw was finally no longer the closed door.

I looked down at the time on my phone. It was actually still quite early. I didn't expect that Mr. Li was so hardworking.

At this time, Gary walked out of the president's office. Seeing Gu Nianbei, he paused, then told her: Just in time! Go make a cup of coffee for President Li, Mocha.

Okay. Without saying much, Gu Nianbei got busy as soon as he received the task.

After returning with the brewed mocha coffee, Gu Nianbei walked straight to the president's office.

But when she was two steps away from entering the door, Gary called out to her: Stop! What are you doing?

Gu Nianbei glanced at the coffee in his hand, looked at Gary suspiciously, and said: Didn’t you say that you wanted me to make coffee for President Li?

I asked you to make coffee, but I didn't ask you to deliver it. Gary quickly came to Gu Nianbei, took the coffee from her hand, and said: You go back, I'll take it in.

Gu Nianbei stood there, watching Gary walk into the CEO's office with the coffee she had made, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Hmm? This is a bit interesting...

Gary brought the coffee to Li Xiangnan’s desk and said, “Mr. Li, this is the mocha you ordered.”

Li Xiangnan glanced at the coffee and asked calmly: What were you arguing about at the door just now?

Oh, the coffee was made by Gu Nianbei. She wanted to bring it to you herself, but I stopped her. Gary glanced at Li Xiangnan and answered truthfully.

How are the people? Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Gary said: The work is quite efficient and I haven't found any problems yet.

What can you do quickly? Make coffee? Li Xiangnan asked jokingly.

Gary pursed his lips tightly, guessing that the boss might be dissatisfied with his slowness in getting rid of the staff. Gary stood there for a few seconds before hesitantly explaining: After all, Gu Nianbei only started work yesterday, so, for the time being, she hasn't been given any difficult tasks...

I heard that she is very pretty... Li Xiangnan remembered what his mother said that day, smiled and said to Gary: Don't be fooled by beauty, and don't have any compassion that you shouldn't have.

Gary nodded and said: I know.

Li Xiangnan picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. After pondering for a few seconds, he said: Let's send her to pick up Cancan for today's Haoyuan family dinner.

???

After hearing this, Gary was stunned for several seconds and said hesitantly: According to Miss Cancan's temper, she will probably be quite repulsive to her. What if Gu Nianbei can't handle Cancan and can't bring her to the family dinner, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

What we want is for her to mess things up. Li Xiangnan looked at Gary with a half-smile.

Gary hesitated to speak, and finally could only nod in agreement.

Miss Cancan is a little ancestor. Ordinary people can't handle her with her temper. Even Gary, who has been around Li Xiangnan for many years, sometimes gets a headache when he sees this little ancestor.

Now, Mr. Li specifically asked Gu Nianbei to pick up Cancan to attend the family dinner at Haoyuan... This little ancestor has always been against this family dinner. Every time Gary went to pick her up, he had to persuade her before he could successfully pick her up. If Gu Nianbei went this time... It's obvious that this little ancestor Cancan will be even more presumptuous...

Thinking of this, Gary couldn't help but secretly break into a cold sweat for Gu Nianbei.

After leaving the president's office, Gary looked at Gu Nianbei a few times, and finally picked up a stack of documents and walked to her desk.

Please familiarize yourself with these documents. In the future, documents like these will be handled by us assistants independently. If you have any questions, you can ask me.

Gary put the documents on Gu Nianbei's desk and said.

Gu Nianbei took it, flipped it a few times, smiled and said: Okay.

Gary put his hands in his trouser pockets, hesitated for a few seconds, and began to explain the next task: At 7 o'clock tonight, the Li family will hold a family dinner at the old house. Mr. Li's sister Li Cancan is still in school. You should go to pick her up at that time. I will send you the address later.

Gary had already expressed his views as tactfully as possible, and at first glance, it seemed like something that could be easily resolved.

"Okay, no problem." Gu Nianbei agreed readily without any hesitation.

Don't be late, and... Gary paused and emphasized to her: The person must take it.

Gu Nianbei gave a professional smile and replied: I understand.

After Gary left, Gu Nianbei suddenly stopped smiling.

Li Cancan, Gu Nianbei knew this person when he learned about Li Xiangnan's background information.

Ye Xiaoling and Li Yingzhe actually only had one child, Li Xiangnan, but Ye Xiaoling had always wanted a daughter, but she never got pregnant again. Later, after discussing with her husband and son, she adopted a daughter, who was Li Cancan.

Li Cancan is much younger than Li Xiangnan and is only in his second year of high school this year. As the youngest in the family, he has been spoiled by his parents and brother since he was a child.

Gu Nianbei guessed that Li Xiangnan's sister was probably not someone who was easy to deal with. Otherwise, why would Gary, who always liked to make things difficult for her, suddenly assign her such a task?

As she was thinking this, Gu Nianbei's phone vibrated twice. She picked it up and saw that it was Gary who sent her two addresses and other information.

Gu Nianbei took a quick look, then pulled up the map to estimate how long it would take to get to the two addresses in order to confirm his departure time.

Gu Nianbei was busy until four in the afternoon, when she finally put down her work and went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.

It was almost 4:20 when she packed up and left the company, preparing to pick up Li Cancan from Huaiying Middle School.

Considering that it was not convenient to take a taxi to pick someone up, Gu Nianbei rented a car temporarily. If it were in the past, she would definitely drive her own car, but now, she no longer has her own car...

Gu Nianbei calculated the time very accurately. When she drove to Huaiying Middle School, it was just time for school to be over.

Gu Nianbei dialed the phone number Gary provided. After a while, the call was connected.

Hello, I am Gu Nianbei, the special assistant of President Li. I sent you a message before. President Li asked me to pick you up and take you back to Haoyuan for dinner. I am already at the school gate. Gu Nianbei said straight to the point.

Why is it a girl? Where's Gary? On the other end of the phone, Li Cancan asked back in a pretentious tone that didn't sound like that of a high school student.

Gary is busy with something, so I'll come pick you up instead. Gu Nianbei replied without any emotion.

You go back, I still have a lot of homework to do, and I don’t have time to go back to Haoyuan for dinner. Li Cancan said and hung up the phone directly.

?! ?! ?!

Gu Nianbei looked at the phone screen that had been hung up and laughed dumbly.

As expected! Li Cancan was really as Gu Nianbei had guessed before, a rich lady with a bad temper.

Gu Nianbei remembered what Gary told her: The person must be taken over...

But now Li Cancan directly asked her to go back.

Now this is interesting…
