chapter 6
Fang Jin stared at Gu Yuan in a daze, and after a while, he said, "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, what's the point? Where did you go last night? I didn't answer more than 20 phone calls? I didn't come back all night, right? The sound of my slap in your door can be heard by a dead person!"
Fang Jin had never expected Gu Yuan to be so obsessed with details, and after a while he squeezed out another sentence: "I... I fell asleep with a fever, and I really didn't hear it."
Gu Yuan frowned his thick eyebrows, looked at him with a sharp look for a moment, and suddenly walked to the edge of the bathtub.
Fang Jin's only reaction was to shrink suddenly, and his nostrils were buried completely in hot water. But the next moment, Gu Yuan stretched out his hand in his incredible gaze, put it on his forehead for a while, and then said distrustfully: "Is it hot water steamed?"
Fang Jin raised a hand from the water and waved him out.
"The water splashed on me!" Gu Yuan said unhappily, because he was about to attend the banquet, wearing formal shirts and trousers, top-quality handmade and haute couture. He had a sudden outfit in the hot bathroom. He looked even more aggressive with his step-by-step eyes and questions: "Are you so perfunctory when you are an assistant next to Gu Mingzong? Why don't you answer the phone? Did you turn on the phone on and off? Did you deliberately not answer it? Why don't you call to report when you are sick?"
Fang Jin shrank all over in the bathtub, so embarrassed that he could hardly speak, and the fog in his eyes was steaming all over.
"I only bring you an assistant this time!" Gu Yuan pointed at his forehead and said, "There are six days left for the next drinks and chambers of commerce. If you don't even say hello, I will be in trouble. Do you know? How much do you get bonus every month?"
Fang Jin's ears were red and he was almost bleeding. After a while, he maintained his face halfway through the water and shook his head, his eyes full of begging you not to say anything more.
Gu Yuan wanted to teach a few more lessons, but his eyes suddenly choked up when he looked at his shadowy neck and shoulders under the water, as well as his deep collarbone deeper.
I don’t know when the atmosphere became very strange, probably because of the stuffy bathroom. Gu Yuan suddenly felt that the heat was very fuming, and even the muscles on the bottom of his shirt were oozing slightly thin sweat.
"..." Gu Yuan stood up as if nothing had happened and said coldly: "Come on, wash it out quickly!" Then he turned around and walked out.

After a moment, I wrapped my bathrobe in my back and stuck my head out of the bathroom. I saw Gu Yuan sitting on the bed with his back to him, turning the document on his hand over a page: "Are you okay?"
Fang Jin quickly touched the clothes on the bed, then returned to the bathroom to close the door.
After a while, he had already finished wearing it when he came out, and his shirt was neatly buckled to the top. Gu Yuan then turned around and saw him holding the German contract that Fang Jin was reviewing recently in one hand, and holding a thermometer in the other hand.
"..." Fang Jin was in a state of mind at this moment and didn't know what to say. He was Gu Yuan's assistant for several months, and today he had the urge to push this person out and throw him to the door for the first time.
However, Gu Yuan ignored it and threw the thermometer over: "Here."
Fang Jin was stunned for a long time before he picked up the thermometer and stuffed it into his ears under Gu Yuan's extremely oppressive gaze. The next second, the prompt sounded, and Gu Yuan took the thermometer with a split hand, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows:
"Thirty-six degrees and eight."
"..." Fang Jin was in tears: "I really got up this morning and retired..."
Gu Yuan patted the thick contract in his hand full of notes and analysis, and said coldly: "I won't pursue this matter because you are still doing well in your work. I won't be the case for this time. If there is any more, don't blame me for firing you, have you heard?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jin's heartbeat broke out and he stared at him.
There was a sense of confusion in the expression on his face that he wanted to argue without saying anything. He seemed a little innocent, but he didn't realize what he heard.
For some reason, a subtle strangeness suddenly rose in Gu Yuan's heart with such a look. If you savor it carefully, this strangeness seems to be inexplicably similar to the moment he was in the bathroom just now, a bit numb, crisp and indescribable.
He swallowed almost instinctively and suppressed the unspeakable feeling back: "Did you hear it?"
"…Yes,” Fang Jin whispered.
Gu Yuan then gave up and waved to him to come and see the contract together.

After Gu Yuan returned from the UK, he took over a Ocean Shipping Transportation under the Gu Family Group and a telecommunications company with investment shares. The reason why Fang Jin was left by Gu Yuan was not only a final compromise with Gu Mingzong, but also an important reason was that he was indeed very helpful to both aspects of business.
Fang Jin studied for a master's degree in financial banking in Germany, and the important ship supplier for Ocean Shipping is also a German-funded enterprise and often needs to communicate with German experts. In addition, when he was with Gu Mingzong, he was said to have helped deal with telecommunications enterprise projects and had experience in financial operations and statement review in the telecommunications industry. Gu Yuan's original confidant did not have such a person.
When Fang Jin first came, Gu Yuan observed it coldly for a while. As an assistant, he was indeed very competent, careful, thoughtful, comprehensive, and did everything he explained without any discount. The most important thing was that he would not express any opinions unless he was asked.
Later, Gu Yuan still tested him several times without hesitation, but he was still satisfied. Finally, he slowly handed over the more important contracts, documents, etc. to him.
"Global oil prices are turbulent and ocean transportation is in a downturn. These days, foreign shipyards have given up their profits to grandma's house. When the ship is collected in the second half of the year, they will be sold out. At least the profit is this number." Gu Yuan made a gesture of three: "I have finalized all the downstream buyers."
Fang Jin sat beside him and listened carefully, asking, "But from which project should the down payment be withdrawn?"
"If the bank loan interest rate is stable, you will collect payments from the cooperation projects with Mingda Transport." Gu Yuan paused for a moment, seemed to be pondering something, and said, "It will not be unstable in my guess. You will show me the background investigation information of Mingda later."
Unlike Gu Mingzong, who has already set the country and only needs to be at the top of the board every day to keep an eye on the general trend, Gu Yuan has a lot of specific, cumbersome and complex official duties to be handled.
When Fang Jin first arrived by his side, he was secretly surprised that his energy was so abundant. Sometimes he worked until two or three o'clock in the morning on the first day, and got up the next day and worked for thirteen or fourteen hours. The whole process was efficient and meticulous, and his thinking was as strict as a computer.
What's more, he can run several important projects at the same time without any confusion. All contact parties, project progress, funding flow and recent plans are as orderly as a clear and detailed map in his mind, and never make any mistakes.
He stopped talking without realizing it, and saw Fang Jin's beautiful and fair side face burning red, as if he could drip bleeding. In the darkness, there was flowing water in his eyes, like the stars in the sky reflected in the depths of his beautiful pupils.
Gu Yuan was stunned.
The vague nocturnes and human voices in the distance gradually disappeared, and the whole world was left with the evening breeze blowing across the grass, making a sound, covering the sky.
Why is he so much like a girl? Gu Yuan thought in a mess.
Why is he angry with his face so red and his eyes so wet?
What if he cries? Will he resign suddenly?
Gu Yuan's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he seemed to have blocked his throat and couldn't make any sound. At this time, he suddenly found that he was still holding Fang Jin's arm tightly, so he immediately let go as if he was electrocuted, feeling that his palms were hot as if they were burned.
"You..." Gu Yuan said aloud.
Immediately afterwards, at this moment, he suddenly saw a mark under Fang Jin's collar.
The colorful lights in the garden in the distance are reflected from a distance. Although the light is dim, the distance is very close. Gu Yuan is tall and is enough to look down at Fang Jin. From this angle, you can really clearly see what the mark is.
——That was a kiss mark.
Gu Yuan's brain was as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and he had only one thought: It turned out that he went to do that last night!
I have to answer my phone! I lied to me today!
He went to find someone!
A wave of being deceived and betrayed instantly swept Gu Yuan's heart, and it was swift and strong without any warning, leaving him with no time to think or react, and his whole body was shrouded in anger on the spot.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Fang Jin, his chest undulated slightly. After a long time, he opened his mouth but said nothing.
Then he turned his head abruptly and walked away through the lawn.
“…”
Fang Jin didn't realize what was going on. He watched Gu Yuan quickly walk through the garden and walk towards the banquet hall, with a very surprised expression in his eyes.
This is...what is going on? Does he feel disgusted?
--nausea.
This guess almost came out instinctively, but then Fang Jin's expression changed slightly, and his internal organs seemed to be suddenly splashed with a bucket of ice water.
No, no, no, it's not necessarily like this. Fang Jin comforted himself a little panickedly. Maybe he just suddenly remembered something important, Gu Yuan was so happy and angry, or he just felt that this clumsy prank made him lose face in front of Chi Qiu's eyes...
The little joy that had just risen secretly in the midst of fear was completely replaced by panic. Fang Jin's hands and feet were slightly weak and unable to move. He stood there for a while before slowly turning around with heavy steps.
He originally wanted to go back to the banquet hall, but the next second his pupils suddenly shrank violently-
I saw two people on the balcony on the second floor of the auditorium not far away, and they were also turning around and walking back. To him, they were two very familiar backs.
——Just Mingzong and Chi Wanru.
