Gu Yuan sat in the office for a while, and the new female assistant brought the coffee attentively and gently placed it on his hand.

Gu Yuan stared at the computer screen, without even slanting his eyes, picked up the coffee and took a sip. The next second he took a tissue, spitted the small mouthful of coffee on it, and then put the tissue into a ball and threw it into the coffee cup as if nothing had happened.

Female assistant: "…"

The little girl was almost frightened. After standing for a while, she left with her coffee.

The new female assistant graduated from a master's degree from a prestigious university. She was actually a little aggrieved when applying for the position of the lowest assistant. After joining the company, she was so excited that she was impressed. Unexpectedly, the boss had no good face after half a month of work. This was not right or that, and even pouring a cup of coffee could cause problems.

In her eyes, her handsome and rich boss has transformed from an idol drama male lead into an Armani male demon. If it weren't for the difficulty of finding a job these days, she would really want to rush into the office to use her resignation letter to cover up Gu Yuan's face.

The female assistant stood in the tea room at a loss, staring at the cup of coffee floating in the napkin in front of her, and was so embarrassed that she almost cried. Just as she was about to go to the personnel office to ask for sick leave, a sudden voice came from behind: "What's wrong with you?"

The little girl looked back and said, "Assistant Fang!"

Fang Jin was wearing a white shirt and a black suit. The neckline was slightly loose and there was no tie. His face was slightly pale after he recovered from the serious illness, and his eyes moved towards the steaming cup of coffee:

“…skimmed milk?”

"Yes!"

"Quart of sugar?"

"yes!"

“50% coffee|Inganant?”

"That's right!"

Fang Jin sighed and said, "Do it again and show it to me."

The female assistant sniffed, skillfully opened the imported coffee machine in the tea room, heated the milk, and made a cup of thick and fragrant thick latte. Fang Jin leaned against the door of the tea room and watched the whole process. He waved his hand and refused the girl's move to ask him to taste, saying, "The milk foam is thin, not thick enough, and it must be five millimeters thicker."

The female assistant was stunned.

Fang Jin said helplessly: "Forget it, give it to me."

He walked to the office, took off his coat and put down his briefcase, held a stack of documents in his left hand and a coffee cup in his right hand, and then turned to the office of the general manager next door. Gu Yuan still maintained the posture of sitting in front of the computer, and when he saw him come in, he raised his head: "——Have you taken sick leave these two days?"

“I feel better today.”

Fang Jin said as he put down the coffee. Gu Yuan picked it up and took a sip. He then took the documents he handed over for a while. While flipping through, he got used to drinking most of the cup of coffee naturally. Then he praised: "Luckily, you are here, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to drink the hot stuff."

Fang Jin: "..."

Female assistant hiding outside and peeping: "..."

Fang Jin's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, Boss, you are really a double standard, and you are not afraid of others suing you for discrimination in the workplace.

However, in Gu Yuan's eyes, the focus was not on coffee, but on the person who came in with a coffee knocking on the door. Yesterday, Fang Jin had a fever and took a sick leave, but no one could understand Gu Yuan's inspiration suddenly broke out in the morning, and he needed a professional German translation in finance at the morning meeting. At noon, he wanted to eat Assistant Fang's private oil-burned prawns and Jinhua ham and tofu soup. At the negotiating table in the afternoon, he needed a deputy to hand over the phone, beat the drum, and assist him in fighting for the profits of hundreds of millions of dollars. At night, he wanted someone to accompany and cooperate with the work... In the office next door, he did not come to work.

After get off work, Mr. Gu was under extremely low pressure. Although he was still happy and angry when he walked out of the company, he looked calm, cold and elegant, everyone felt that the air around him could burst out thousands of acres of thunder at any time, turning the entire building behind him into ashes.

So compared with yesterday, what does it mean to have five millimeters of thin coffee milk today?

Gu Yuan put down the document, turned the leather armchair forty-five degrees, and looked at Fang Jin calmly: "By the way, there is something I haven't had time to tell you. About the hero saving Mei in the hotel the day before yesterday, and then almost rescued Meiqiang..."

Fang Jin's face turned red, and just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by Gu Yuan teasingly: "The client who was beaten by you is the boss of a listed investment company in this city. Afterwards, he went to the hotel to force the video to find out who the person who beat him was."

Fang Jin's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly remembered that this matter was solved by Gu Mingzong, and it was probably because his security supervisor was asked to come forward, but since there was any action, there would be traces left.

That hotel has a closer business relationship with Gu Yuan and a closer relationship. If Gu Yuan asked the hotel later, would he find clues about Gu Mingzong's intervention?!

"The hotel manager has watched the video in advance. He recognized that the hero saved the beauty and was Assistant Fang. He sent someone to notify the Gu family and replied to the boss that the security video of the hotel presidential suite should not be displayed to a certain customer casually. He had to use a formal way to ask the police to intervene. The boss was afraid that the prostitution was exposed, so he had to argue with the hotel and signed a confidentiality agreement, and then he stopped."

Gu Yuan leaned against the back of a wide chair, crossed his long legs and said carelessly: "I didn't expect that when I met such a tactful hotel manager, I solved the problem by myself - Is there any good luck Assistant Fang?"

Fang Jin knew him. Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.

It is a sharp gaze that can penetrate your skin and bones and see through your mind.

"..." Fang Jin hesitated: "Mr. Gu, about this..."

"There is only one thing that I find strange," Gu Yuan interrupted, with a meaningful ending:

"You said, after you found out that it was you, why didn't the hotel come to notify your boss, but skip me and go directly to notify the Gu family?"

Fang Jin's spine felt a little sweaty.

He faced Gu Yuan's gaze and for a moment he felt that he had been almost opened. The filth and embarrassment that had been carefully hidden were all spread out in broad daylight, exposed to the man who looked down at him from a high place.

He even had an idea that even himself was ridiculous: Did he find out?

No, impossible, just one day—

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu," Fang Jin forced himself to face Gu Yuan's gaze, his voice sounded as stable as usual: "This is wrong with me, so that night, in order not to cause trouble for you, I first contacted the connections I had accumulated in the Gu family before..."

He paused. Although he spoke very slowly, he quickly turned his mind countless times before every word was released.

"Wang Yu, the security manager of the group company, has dealt with me for business before. After I came here to serve as your assistant, I still kept in touch with my former colleagues. So after the accident the night before, I immediately asked him to help check the identity of the tenant. He should have gone to the hotel the next day..."

Gu Yuan's deep eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he said "Oh?" without hesitation.

"...I know that it is taboo to be too close to people there while working for you, so I never dared to tell you. But the night before yesterday was indeed my impulsive mistake. Later, I was afraid of implicating you, so I secretly asked my former colleague for help." Fang Jin took a breath and said calmly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely pay attention next time and will not make such mistakes again."

The two of them stood and sat each other, only one meter apart. The office was silent and could even hear each other's breathing clearly.

Gu Yuan was playing with a pen, looking a little absent-minded.

"It's almost the same as I thought," he finally said after a long time.

Fang Jin's tense shoulder muscles slightly relaxed.

"But I don't want to say this." Gu Yuan said lazily: "You are my assistant, and not to mention whether you will return to the headquarters in the future, at least you are my nominal now. When you take action rashly, you must tell me if you want to ask others for help."

He shook his head a little mockingly: "Although your act of saving that child is meaningless and ridiculous, people always make mistakes, and it is understandable occasionally - it is just to hide it from me after making a mistake, which is very ridiculous. I am your boss, and it is natural to ask me for something. You must remember this, do you understand?"

Fang Jin stared at Gu Yuan in a daze, and after a long time, he gradually realized what his words meant.

"Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu..."

Gu Yuan finally moved his eyes from the pen to his face and said impatiently: "I'll just say that! The main reason is that you ask others for such small things. I'm very embarrassed as the boss, do you know?"

All Fang Jin's senses were overwhelmed by an indescribable joy, and the feeling was even more surprising and intense than Gu Yuan's words to him in the cemetery, "I don't want to see you hurt."

——Come to me when you encounter something.

Don't ask for others.

This promise was completely unexpected to the other party, just like a crown falling from the sky, fell on his head among millions of people - although he was just a clown who was destined to be unable to wear this crown, the unexpected surprise at that moment and the happiness that could be temporarily possessed hit the softest part of his heart.

"I understand..." He whispered, his voice with a cautious softness: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, I... I understand, I will definitely not again next time..."

"Don't cry again!" Gu Yuan immediately warned in advance: "I know you will have a fever when you cry, Assistant Fang! Your sick leave this year has been taken!"

Fang Jin blinked his eyes, and Gu Yuan stared at his eyelashes that looked particularly slender because of this action, and waved his hand boredly: "Okay, go back to work. I accumulated more than 20 things yesterday and waited for you to deal with. Come and find me later!"

Fang Jin returned to his desk and through the inner window, he saw Gu Yuan opposite him had turned the seat back to the computer, and his full attention seemed to have returned to work.

Fang Jin opened the notebook in front of him, but looked at him in a daze from the corner of his eyes.

Why did you give me such a promise and why did you treat me so well?

I don't have anything to repay you.

Fang Jin withdrew his gaze and looked at the black computer screen in front of him, and saw his blank face reflected. He tried to recall the people who had given him kindness in his life, but only the well-trained servants of the Gu family, the cold and silent bodyguards, the company management with different expressions... and Gu Mingzong always finds difficult to see any emotions, unpredictable faces.

Looking back further, there was only the house that collapsed in the fire, with his parents there.

If it has nothing to do with the Gu family, this idea suddenly popped up in Fang Jin's mind—

If you have nothing to do with Gu Mingzong, you may be able to be the subordinate who Gu Yuan trusted and trusted most in your life, and Gu Yuan's kindness and commitment will continue for ten or twenty years, or even forever.

Even if Gu Yuan gets married and gets married in the future, he will always have a place in his subordinates.

Imagine that twenty years later, I am still sitting next to Gu Yuan's office. As long as I look up, I can see his handsome and familiar face. I can breathe the air between me and enjoy the right to "come me directly when something happens"... Fang Jin's heart is as light as if it is full of breath.

If you can completely break away from the Gu family...

If the transaction with Gu Mingzong is always buried under the water...

Fang Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.

There is no airtight wall in the world. This embarrassing secret will always be exposed as long as it survives. He must calm down and wait patiently for the opportunity, and completely cut it out of his soul before all the unbearable past is exposed in broad daylight.

You always have a way, Fang Jin - he thought so.

You have struggled hand-to-hand until now, and you have come from the dilemma of so many swords and shadows, and you will definitely find a way to continue.

There will always be a way.

Fang Jin opened his eyes and vomited the breath slowly and completely out of his lungs.

At this moment, the phone on his desktop lit up. Fang Jin picked it up and saw a latest text message appearing on the screen, which was the number of Wang Yu, head of the security department of the head of the headquarters:

"Assistant Fang, Mr. Gu asked me to inform you to come to the xx Hotel at 7 o'clock in the evening."

"We found the person who assassinated you back then."
