Even though it was the last day, Gu Yan still cleaned the apartment meticulously. In the afternoon, she came as usual, and after work, she took Tang Yuxiu's unwanted pants and that suit to be dry-cleaned. She took the shoes and socks home to wash by hand.
In the evening, Xue Xianglan invited her out, and she slouched her head, looking listless.
Xue Xianglan was puzzled, "You got a job, why do you still look like this?"
Gu Yan lifted her eyes weakly, "I soon won't have one."
Under Xue Xianglan's puzzled gaze, Gu Yan recounted the events of the day, leaving out the part where she pressed down on others, and angrily added at the end, "He's the same person I bumped into at the restaurant last time! How can there be such an infuriating person in this world?"
Xue Xianglan pushed a glass of water toward her hand, "Calm down, calm down, hasn't he said he was going to fire you."
"You rich people don't like it when others point at you and talk, right? Not only did I point at him, I yelled at him. No future!"
Gu Yan sighed and looked at the sky powerlessly.
Gu Yan didn't sleep well all night, wondering whether she should go to work tomorrow.
The next morning, she went anyway, with dark circles under her eyes.
It's important to start and finish things, got to return the key, and can't let go of the past few days' salary!
Gu Yan dawdled until she reached the 15th floor of Luoshui Apartment, stood at the door, took a few deep breaths, and then took out the key to open the door.
In the living room, the man on the sofa had his legs crossed, hands resting on his knees, leaning against the sofa, eyes watching the big-screen LCD TV in front of him, exuding a lazy yet meticulous aura.
Gu Yan's hand on the doorknob tightened, as expected, the big boss was waiting at home to fire her.
Tang Yuxiu, hearing the sound at the door, casually glanced at the wall clock, and said flatly, "You're a minute late."
What?
Gu Yan was dumbfounded, standing at the door motionless.
Not hearing anything for a while, Tang Yuxiu turned his head towards the door, his brow slightly furrowed, "Standing there acting as a door god? Already late for work, still want to slack off and extend the time?"
Gu Yan was even more confused now, staring at the big boss, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, she carefully asked him, "Aren't you going to fire me?"
At this, Tang Yuxiu's deep eyes showed a hint of confusion, "When did I ever say I was going to fire you?"
Hearing this, Gu Yan's eyes lit up, sweeping away her previous despondency, she shook her head fiercely, and even added her hands just to make sure it was enough.
"No, no! You never said that! I'll work right now!"
In her excitement, Gu Yan forgot to change her shoes as she was about to walk in, but Tang Yuxiu's icy gaze stopped her in her tracks.
Gu Yan laughed awkwardly, "I'll change my shoes right now."
Tang Yuxiu wasn't going to fire her, she was already thanking the heavens for that, she could endure any look or attitude he had, including yesterday's events, she'd selectively forget them, and that nothing ever happened between them!
Gu Yan casually tossed her bag on the sofa, skillfully grabbed the tools, and started working.
Feeling in a good mood, she smiled throughout, occasionally humming a tune.
Tang Yuxiu watched the financial news with his eyes straight ahead, completely unfazed by the additional person in the apartment, only feeling that the casually placed bag on the adjacent single sofa was a bit of an eyesore and wanted to go over and tidy it up.
Gu Yan happily wiped the floor-to-ceiling windows, glancing at the boss who was watching the news intently, hesitating in her heart.
"Is there something you want to say?" the man's deep voice came through clearly, startling Gu Yan, who nearly bumped into the floor-to-ceiling window.
