C36 Fortuitous Encounter

"Mm …" Your conditions are all right. "

The interviewer took a look at Soong Qingnuan's information, and after considering her previous performance, he nodded his head in approval.

Soong Qingnuan sat quietly in her seat. A smile appeared on her face as she waited for the interviewer to say something.

Because she was a member of Soong Family, she had already been rejected by many companies along the way.

He had clearly thought highly of her in the beginning, but in the end, he had revealed a frightened expression. He had truly made her disdain him, but there was nothing he could do.

Now, he had finally met someone with hope.

"Wait."

The interviewer was flipping through the pages when he suddenly appeared to have seen something extraordinary. His face froze as he looked at Soong Qingnuan with a serious expression.

Soong Qingnuan's heart sank, as if she already knew the outcome.

"Are you the young miss from the Soong Family?"

Not all of them were asking questions. The person in front of him had probably already confirmed it.

Soong Qingnuan nodded, her red lips parted slightly. "Yes."

"Then we can't hire you."

The interviewer shook his head regretfully, closed the document in his hand and handed it to Soong Qingnuan, as if he had run into something terrifying.

He sighed silently in his heart.

Even though she already knew that this was likely to happen, Soong Qingnuan still couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Taking his resume, he slightly bowed and left the office.

Looking at the street where the driver Ma Long was, holding onto her resume weakly, Soong Qingnuan walked shakily on the street, her heart at a loss.

Where should he go?

Unknowingly, a tall office building appeared before Soong Qingnuan's eyes. She raised her head and looked at it.

So it was Gu's.

Soong Qingnuan couldn't help but stop in her tracks as she stared blankly at the transparent glass door. She didn't know what to do, so she stood on the spot.

His gaze fell on the resume in his hands, and his eyes dimmed.

Forget it, it was better to go all out.

Taking a deep breath, Soong Qingnuan slowly walked into the company.

People came and went in the company, neither quiet nor noisy. Everyone was sitting in order with what they were doing in their hands.

"Hello miss, how may I help you?"

The person at the front desk took the initiative to ask Soong Qingnuan as she walked over.

"Hey, do you know that our CEO personally took down two big cases two days ago?"

Just as Soong Qingnuan was about to explain that she was here to submit her resume, a comment reached her ears and her hands suddenly froze.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

She tilted her head and asked curiously. Soon after, she heard the conversation of the two people not far away, and could only apologetically say to Soong Qingnuan, "Sorry, Miss. Our staff really admires Director Gu. We chat like this every once in a while."

Hearing their conversation, the two people who were discussing quietly left.

Only then did Soong Qingnuan come back to her senses. She realized that she had lost her composure. The corners of her mouth twitched in embarrassment as she passed the resume in her hands to the person in front of her.

"I'm here to post my resume. Can I trouble you to help me deliver it to the HR Department? There are contact details inside."

The receptionist looked at the item and understood. She nodded and said: "Okay, I'll pass it to the HR Department on your behalf. When the time comes, we'll notify them."

Soong Qingnuan's heart felt like a huge rock had dropped after she'd finished talking. Whether or not she would be hired would depend on the will of the heavens.

Nodding politely and bowing slightly, Soong Qingnuan turned around and left.

Gu Qianbei got out of the car and locked the door. He looked up and saw Soong Qingnuan walking out from his company. A surprised expression flashed across his face, but he quickly recovered his composure and walked towards Soong Qingnuan.

At the same time, Soong Qingnuan was also attracted by the sound of the car stopping. She looked over and saw Gu Qianbei walking towards her.

"What a coincidence."

Gu Qianbei greeted Soong Qingnuan with a smile that could not be hidden in his eyes.

"Yes."

Soong Qingnuan stood on the spot, neither cold nor hot as she replied to him.

The atmosphere was weird. Gu Qianbei walked up and pulled Soong Qingnuan's hand.

"Shall we go somewhere else?"

She raised her head and looked at Gu Qianbei in surprise, but she didn't have any intention of pulling her hand away from his.

Shouldn't this man have something to do when he came to the company? He would just say he was going for a walk when he saw her.

"Still going for afternoon tea."

Gu Qianbei's tone was extremely gentle and his smile was full, causing Soong Qingnuan to be unable to find any fault with it.

"Let's have afternoon tea."

She lowered her head and spoke softly. She took out her hand without leaving any trace, as if she didn't care about it.

Gu Qianbei didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment and still maintained his usual smile. He just held Soong Qingnuan's hand again with much more strength than before.

He didn't get in the car, instead, he was dragged by Gu Qianbei to a coffee shop near the company.

"Ding Ling"

The crisp ring of the bell echoed as the door was pushed open. Soong Qingnuan looked around the coffee shop with a warm look in her eyes.

On the wall was written: Time with You.

So there was actually such a quiet place here.

Somehow, Soong Qingnuan's mood was much better, because the haze that had plagued her so many times when she was looking for a job was gradually dispersing.

Sensing the subtle changes in Soong Qingnuan, Gu Qianbei's smile became more profound.

"Two cups American."

He and Soong Qingnuan had similar preferences, so he helped her order the dishes. On the other hand, Soong Qingnuan was looking at him with a complicated expression on her face.

The two of them leaned against the window and sat down, speechless.

"What business do you have with the Gu's?"

Gu Qianbei broke the awkward silence.

"Can't I come here without something?"

She asked back, her expression unchanged. She gently swirled the spoon in her hand, but her mind was preoccupied with something else.

If Gu Qianbei knew why she came to Gu's today, he would most likely be directly recruited.

Although she needed a job, this was not what she wanted.

Gu Qianbei chuckled, took a sip of the coffee in his hand and looked out the window.

"Of course you can come anytime. I said the wrong thing."

He sounded like he was apologizing, but his tone didn't sound like he was apologizing at all.

The two of them were very clear about each other's characteristics. Soong Qingnuan did not deny it and only answered Gu Qianbei's question.

"Come to Gu's?"

"I'm just going to take a look and learn how Gu Dong manages Gu's."

Her long eyelashes drooped down, covering the expression in her eyes, causing others to be unable to see through her thoughts.

"Oh?"

Gu Qianbei squinted his eyes as he dragged a long ending tone, and the tone seemed to be even more meaningful.

He carefully observed her expression, hoping to find some flaws in it. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything of value on her face, so she remained as calm as ever.

When Soong Qingnuan's gaze swept over, Gu Qianbei retracted his gaze and pretended that nothing had happened.

"Nothing."
