Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1472: As Time Passes

[The side story of Youyou and Shen Lingfeng, a simple, carefree sweet romance]

The scorching summer in Hai City, the waves of heat almost suffocating.

Gu Ziyou dashed into the entrance of Fengling Building with just a few minutes to spare before being late, enjoying the cool air.

"Mengmeng, your place is terrifying! I just wanted to try taking the bus to work for a day, but I feel like I’m about to be cooked like a pancake!"

"Hahaha, pancake, Gu Miss, have you even had a pancake?"

"That’s discrimination!"

"Honestly, don’t misunderstand our Hai City, this year’s temperature is really unusual. Normally, the highest is around thirty-five or thirty-six degrees, but this year it’s almost reached forty."

"Only thirty-five or thirty-six degrees? You actually used the word ’only’?"

"Of course it’s different from the climate in Manchester, but you can still survive, right? Hey, hey, but you came over here yourself to join me. I did tell you, July and August are super hot."

"What else can I do? If I want to be self-reliant, this is the only way. Otherwise, I’d have to join my dad’s company right after graduation. Oh God, that’s too scary."

"Self-reliant? Wait, are you saying that having a brother who buys his sister a luxury apartment in a place where every inch is gold because she’s coming to work as a junior staff also counts as self-reliant?"

"Well, there’s nothing I can do about that. Besides, he’s already bought it, not living there would be a waste. But aside from that, I’m really starting to be self-reliant to prove to them that I don’t need the Gu family name to live well. Of course, also because I wanted to see you!"

"Tsk, tsk..."

"Really, ever since your family moved to Hai City, we’ve rarely seen each other. Mengmeng, I really miss the days we bought snacks together and went to the bathroom together."

Gu Ziyou stood in front of the company elevator, chatting on the phone while waiting.

Unconsciously, three groups of people had already gone up.

Every hurried person going upstairs would cast a curious glance at her. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The company is very strict about punctuality. Which department is this from? Standing by the elevator chatting on the phone instead of going upstairs to clock in.

"Youyou, you start work at eight thirty, it’s already after eight forty, and you’re still chatting with me? Is your supervisor not around today?"

"Ah ah ah, oh my God, I forgot!"

Gu Ziyou finally became panicked and pressed the elevator button frantically, but the last group had just gone up.

"I haven’t even gotten upstairs, got carried away chatting with you. Boohoo, what to do, I saw so many people just now, subconsciously thought I’d wait a bit... I’m late again!"

The company’s strict attendance rules: late three times, more than half an hour, deduction of one-third of salary.

She’s still on probation; her salary isn’t high originally, and she faces the risk of being dismissed.

"It’s over, I’m late for the third day today."

"Good luck... my mentor already told me, you must not be late!"

Gu Ziyou was anxiously pacing around, but there were only two employee elevators for floors below the fiftieth, both had just gone up and were stopping at every floor.

She even started thinking about using all energies to run up the staircase.

"Ding."

The sound of the elevator door.

As she turned, she saw a few people coming out from inside.

Four or five executives aged between thirty to fifty, nodding and bowing, surrounding a tall man in a tailored suit.

She only caught a glimpse of a side profile as the man was already walking out.

Then she heard the security guard’s respectful voice, "President Shen!"

"Mm." The response was calm and melodious, with a naturally unapproachable aura.
