As she said this, she couldn’t help but gave her a bitter look, “I am indeed fearless, but I’m really afraid of Brother Yu. Furthermore, you are asking me to steal documents from his office. If he finds out, or catches me, he will definitely kick me out of the company, without mercy!”
“It’s not that I can’t part with this job. But you do know that if I don’t work for the Gu Corporation, I will have to go home and abide by my parents’ wish to get married to someone rich.”
“Fine, let’s not discuss this any further. I understand.”Xu Weilai held Xiao Chun’s hand and comforted her, “I can’t be getting you into trouble.”
Xiao Chun was still overwhelmed with guilt, “I’m sorry that I couldn’t help, Lil’ Weilai.”
“It’s okay, there’s always another way.”

The scandal between Gu Yu and Zuo Si lasted for a whole week before it slowly subsided.
Xu Weilai’s Big Boss, who never contacted her since her return to China, called her at noon on that day with his tone gentle as ever. He invited her for a work discussion over lunch.
Xu Weilai gladly agreed.
Qiao Chu came to pick her up and drove her to a famous Michelin restaurant. She walked into an empty hall of the restaurant filled with a soft pleasant melody, which sounds especially rejuvenating to her ears.
The waiter led Xu Weilai to the table seating by the window. Her Big Boss was already there seated quietly with his head tilted to the side, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window. A faint smile escaped his lips.
This particular scene exceeded all the beautiful scenery outside the window. The scenery was so breathtaking, like a picture of the world left behind.
As if sensing her gaze, he glanced back at her. As his eyes fell on her, the smile on his lips broaden,” You’re here.”
Xu Weilai nodded. “I’m sorry for being late. The traffic was a little congested.”
He smiled and said, “It’s okay. It is a gentleman’s obligation to wait for a lady.”
As he said that, he stood and pulled out a chair for her. Xu Weilai hurriedly thanked him and sat down.
After he returned to his seat, he handed the menu to Xu Weilai. “What would you like to have?”
“I’m fine with anything. It’s up to you.”
After all, he was her boss. Xu Weilai couldn’t be so casual towards him. She had to maintain some distance and formality.
He understood the circumstances. Thus, instead of insisting on her to make the order, he flipped through the menu and skillfully ordered for both of them. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, or perhaps The Boss was being thoughtful, the food he ordered was all Xu Weilai’s favorite food.
It seemed that today’s task would either be extremely difficult or he had something out of her expectation that he needed her to work on.
However, the Big Boss was very composed. He revealed nothing. Instead, he gently asked her if she had a good time and whether she rested enough after coming back.
Xu Weilai answered each of his questions courteously.
The dishes were soon served. He gestured for her to eat more. Xu Weilai didn’t stand on ceremony either. She nodded and started eating.
Her Big Boss obviously had very good table manners. He ate quietly and elegantly, without uttering a single word while eating. He was flawless. But instead of elegance, she feels that it would be more accurate to describe him as being traditional.
As if his every movement was governed by a set of rules.
However, as this has nothing to do with her and it did not particularly pique her curiosity, she quickly suppressed her thoughts towards this matter.
After he was done eating, he blotted the corner of his lips with his napkin. Finally, he was ready to reveal his intention, “Xu Weilai, I’m about to enter a new company and I need a secretary. Will you join me?”
