Quick Transmigration: The Most Popular Girl: Even an Ordinary Girl Can Have Her Spring

Chapter 5: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (5)

The banquet was held in a manor located halfway up a mountain, and the host family was the Shen family, a long-established and prestigious family in Jiangcheng.

As a prestigious family on par with the Gu family, even if they simply find an excuse to hold a banquet, there would be plenty of people eager to get a ticket.

After all, the opportunity to rise to the top is right in front of you; whether you can seize it or not depends entirely on yourself.

As night fell and the lights shone, dignitaries gathered at the banquet, singing, dancing, and exchanging toasts.

"Wenwen, I heard that President Gu has hired another young female assistant. Is she another vixen like Jiang Wandie who loves to seduce people?"

The speaker was wearing a pink backless dress, with delicate features, and the dress made her look adorable. However, her face was full of jealousy, which ruined her image for others.

Yu Wenwen, oblivious to the woman's expression, simply said with annoyance, "No matter who it is, I will drive her away from Brother Gu!"

She was very annoyed. She had finally gotten rid of Jiang Wandie, but now another young female assistant had come.

Those swarms of admirers only have eyes for Brother Gu, hoping to climb up to him and change their fate.

"Hmph, I won't let them succeed!" You Wenwen muttered, already having a plan in mind.

The woman next to her smiled more broadly at her, her eyes filled with smugness and disdain.

This idiot happens to be the only daughter of the You family; she's so lucky!

The two had different thoughts, but the meeting room became lively.

Someone announced that the president of the Gu Group had arrived, and everyone turned their attention to the entrance.

As the magnificent golden gate slowly opened, two figures appeared before everyone's eyes.

One was tall and imposing, the one they knew well—Gu Yunting; and the other—

"I... I think I'm falling for him... what should I do?" someone murmured, but it represented the feelings of many others.

Gu Yunting frowned, suddenly regretting his decision to bring Leyan to the banquet.

He subtly blocked everyone's view, pulled Le Yan under his wing, and whispered, "There are too many people, let's go over there."

Pointing to the small balcony where there was hardly anyone, Gu Yunting led Le Yan over and immediately drew the curtains to block everyone's view.

"Mr. Gu?" Although she was the person involved, Le Yan had no idea what had happened.

She was somewhat stiff as Gu Yunting held her, her mind filled with the three office principles she had been repeatedly reciting.

What should we do? What should we do? It was President Gu who started it, it has nothing to do with her, right?

Le Yan tends to overthink when she's nervous, but thankfully she doesn't talk nonsense, otherwise she would have seen her boss's angry face again.

Gu Yunting didn't let go of her; he simply lowered his head and said, "Don't panic."

Then he pulled Leyan to the wall, fumbled around on it for a while, and pressed some mechanism, and the wall in front of them turned into a door.

Le Yan stared in shock, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, and she couldn't help but point at the door, barely managing to keep from crying out.

"President Gu, you...you're a master of mechanical engineering?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunting stumbled, nearly tripping over his own feet and falling to his death.

He silently met Le Yan's gaze, his dark, deep eyes meeting her clear, unwavering eyes, and he was truly speechless.

"President Gu?" Why are you looking at me like that?

Le Yan blinked, and although she didn't finish her sentence, Gu Yunting was able to completely understand what she was thinking.

After a pause, he explained, "The Gu family and the Shen family are old friends. I often visited the Shen family when I was young, so I know some of their special arrangements."

He's not some kind of master of broken mechanisms!

Gu Yunting was almost numb. Following the two incidents in the car before, this was the third time today that he had suspected Le Yan might be missing a screw in her head.

But... well, cute.

Turning his head away, barely concealing the smile on his lips, Gu Yunting pulled Le Yan to sit down.

"You stay here, I'm going to see Old Master Shen. We'll leave in a bit."

This was a more secluded small hall, so Gu Yunting wasn't worried about any women barging in. He also abandoned his original plans and only intended to meet the Shen family before leaving with Leyan.

As for Le Yan, it didn't matter whether she left early or late, since her assistant had said that she just needed to follow President Gu's lead.

So she nodded decisively, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely stay here obediently."

She sat obediently, looking small and surrounded by the sofa, which softened Gu Yunting's heart. "Well, if you're hungry, have some snacks to fill your stomach, but don't drink alcohol."

"Yeah, I know."

Drinking is strictly forbidden at banquets hosted by wealthy families, and she, a bookworm for over a decade, knows this very well.

Leaving the person behind, Gu Yunting casually picked up a glass of wine and left the way he came.

At the banquet, everyone seemed to be chatting happily, but in reality, many people were staring at the small balcony hidden by layers of curtains.

People often pass by, but no one dares to go in.

In a corner, You Wenwen looked displeased. She had just gone to the restroom and when she came back, she heard everyone talking about the female companion that Gu Yunting had brought.

She immediately guessed that this must be the new female assistant that Brother Gu had hired.

I wonder what kind of vixen she is, that she has managed to seduce so many sons of powerful and wealthy men who are all inquiring about her.

Even her best friends, who had originally shared her hatred, blushed and stammered when she asked them questions.

Yu Wenwen was furious. She grabbed the woman in the pink dress who had gone to the restroom with her and said through gritted teeth, "Ayin, you're coming with me to find that woman!"

Upon seeing this, Fang Miaoyin, the woman in the pink dress, nodded quickly and said indignantly, "Let's go, let's go together!"

She was filled with jealousy. "How could President Gu do this? You are clearly his fiancée, yet he has another woman as his companion. It's obvious he doesn't respect you at all."

Upon hearing this, You Wenwen's anger intensified.

Seeing Gu Yunting leave the small balcony from afar, she immediately lifted her skirt and walked towards him, but someone beat her to it. Several people rushed up to her, but there was no one else inside.

"What's going on? Can something just disappear into thin air?"

Everyone was completely confused and could only disperse. Later, You Wenwen stumbled upon the mechanism by accident.

She had barely stepped into the small hall, and before she could even stand properly, she blurted out, "You're Gu-ge's new female assistant? Do you know that Gu-ge has a fiancée? You'd better quit right now, or else I'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, he met a pair of eyes filled with panic.

Le Yan, still clutching a pastry in her hand, stood up defensively, adopting a "stay away from me" stance. "Speak properly, I—"

She had barely begun to speak when she took a few steps back, her face filled with terror, almost touching the wall.

For no other reason than that You Wenwen, who had just been fiercely threatening to hit someone, had now transformed into a shy and lovely little princess, and her voice had instantly changed from full of hostility to soft and sweet.

"What's your name?"

"Would you like to work for me? Gu Yunting pays you whatever salary he offers, I can pay you ten times that!"

You Wenwen's eyes were sharp, while Le Yan looked on with a question mark above her head.

No, what is going on?

Changed?

"Miss You, please rest assured, I have absolutely no improper thoughts about Mr. Gu..."

"Who cares about that? I'm asking you, are you willing to come and work for me?"
