President Gu Is Jealous!

President Gu Is Jealous!

"You're planning to go after Gu Corporation?" Lin Su glanced sideways at the driver.

Gu Lin gave a slight nod, his expression calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

There happened to be an exceptionally long red light ahead. Gu Lin stepped on the brakes and looked intently at Lin Su. "The enemy is in the open, while I'm in the shadows. Gu Corporation won't trace Ningli, much less me."

Lin Su relaxed slightly at that. It wasn't that he doubted Gu Lin's abilities; it was just that the old master of the Gu Household was no easy opponent.

There was an eighty to ninety percent chance Xia Mingxuan had returned to the country for this matter. If that was the case... Gu Lin had his own company overseas as well.

[A domineering CEO novel vibe is practically hitting me in the face. Has this melodramatic story turned into a workplace business war starring a male lead?]

[Yeah, it really does have that feeling.]

Lin Su pushed up his glasses and stared steadily at the man before him, a faint smile curling at his lips. "If you need me, just tell me anytime."

This matter was bound to succeed, but there were still worries in his heart. On one hand, he was worried that Old Master Gu would strike ruthlessly once he found out. On the other, that old man was Gu Lin's grandfather after all. For Gu Lin to think of taking on Gu Corporation, he must have made up his mind. Once it was done, people would inevitably gossip.

Every one of Lin Su's worries revolved around him. Warmth spread from Gu Lin's heart through his entire body. He raised a hand and clasped Lin Su's in his palm, his expression growing gentler as he looked at him. "All right. Then I'll have to trouble Assistant Lin when the time comes."

Lin Su froze for a second. When he came back to himself, he blinked and parted his lips slightly, just about to say something, when the red light began counting down. Gu Lin had already released his hand and turned his gaze forward, driving on.

[Huh? Why did that feel like I'd been flirted with?]

The car was still parked at the same intersection as yesterday. Lin Su got out and slowly headed toward the building.

When he reached the lobby, his phone buzzed. Lin Su took it out and looked down. The message was from Gu Lin.

G: Elevator No. 1.

Lin: Okay.

Lin Su stood before Elevator No. 1 and waited. As luck would have it, all the other elevators opened one after another, while the numbers on Elevator No. 1 crawled upward at a snail's pace.

"Assistant Lin, over here! Hurry up!" Xiao Jiang waved from the elevator doors and called out to him.

At her shout, everyone turned to look. Meanwhile, Elevator No. 1 was still stuck on Floor -1, refusing to move.

Lin Su glanced at the slowly changing number and had no choice but to turn toward the elevator behind him. But just as he was about to step inside, Elevator No. 1 chimed. Lin Su paused, but Xiao Jiang was impatient. She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the elevator.

The doors of Elevator No. 1 opened at that exact moment, and the two of them looked at each other from afar.

Lin Su nodded, his expression unchanged, but he froze for a second when his gaze met Gu Lin's.

Only then did he realize Xiao Jiang was still holding his hand, with no sign of letting go.

The doors of Elevator No. 1 slowly closed, concealing Gu Lin's slightly darkened expression. On their side, several more people happened to get in, and by the time Lin Su reached the tenth floor, Gu Lin was nowhere to be seen.

"Why does the elevator feel so gloomy today? Did they turn on the air conditioning on the first floor?" Xiao Jiang said, rubbing her arms.

Xiao Zeng rolled her eyes. "It's autumn. Who would turn on the cold air? You might as well say we ran into a ghost."

"Get lost, get lost! Pah, pah! You and that cursed mouth of yours." Xiao Jiang stormed off.

Having guessed the reason, Lin Su pressed his lips together and distanced himself from the battle "between women."

The door opened, and Gu Lin's hand paused as he hung his coat on the rack.

With the door half open, Lin Su raised his voice slightly, his tone gentle. "Good morning, President Gu."

Gu Lin was silent for a moment. "Good morning, Assistant Lin."

It sounded somewhat gritted through his teeth, but the door had already closed, cutting off all the prying eyes outside.

The three exchanged looks, then silently turned to stare at their computers in unison.

'Assistant Office Three Musketeers'

Xiao Jiang: Why does it feel like President Gu was gritting his teeth?

Xiao Wang: I heard it too.

Xiao Zeng: Same!

Xiao Jiang: Thinking back, President Gu was in the elevator across from me this morning. The way he looked at Assistant Lin was practically murderous!

Xiao Jiang: No wonder I felt cold. It must have been President Gu's aura!

Xiao Wang: Could it have been your imagination? Besides, Assistant Lin was perfectly fine. There was no reason for President Gu to show his displeasure in public.

Xiao Zeng: Same question!

Xiao Jiang: I have a guess!

Xiao Jiang: There's an eighty percent chance President Gu's Little Rose couldn't stand Assistant Lin's beauty!

Xiao Jiang: Maybe Little Rose said a few more words to Assistant Lin, and President Gu got jealous!

Xiao Jiang: Being too handsome as a Beta is a sin too~

Xiao Zeng: Read fewer novels!!!

Xiao Wang: Agreed.
