C8 I want to apply for an assistant

The first rays of the morning sun shone through the window onto the dark green bed. Qin Ran slowly turned his body over. His consciousness gradually returned. He opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

She had always been a light sleeper, especially after Gu Lingfeng had visited her that night. However, to her surprise, Gu Lingfeng did not come again for the past week, just as he had said.

Gu Lingfeng, who had always loved cheating, had actually learned to keep his promise? This was a miracle.

She didn't believe him, so she went to the real estate agent again, forcing him to look up the name Gu Lingfeng. However, the result was that this person was nowhere to be found, and her 'landlord' was indeed a graduate student.

With financial concerns, she had no choice but to stay, even if she suspected that he was deliberately plotting against her.

Qin Ran hugged her knees in a daze for a while. The phone beside her pillow suddenly rang. She carelessly picked it up and glanced at it. It was indeed Han City.

Recently, Han City has been looking for her more and more diligently. She muted it, not wanting to answer it. After a while, the ringing stopped, and his text appeared on the screen again.

"Ran Ran, I have something important to tell you. The coffee shop in the middle of the street will always be there. "

His tone was very serious.

The coffee shop on the street was a place they used to go when they were on intimate terms. Did he choose to meet here to bring back her memories?

Qin Ran laughed lightly. 'Forget it, I won't be able to avoid this calamity. Besides, it might be useful to me in the future anyway.' Get up and get dressed.

The coffee shop in the middle of the street was still as usual. The beautiful blonde girl was sitting in front of the Steinway piano, playing a song from the Mystic Garden. The music flowed and the atmosphere was tranquil and soothing.

The two of them sat opposite each other in a secluded spot. Han Cheng pushed a plate of dessert in front of him, "I ordered your favorite Italian coffee. "Oh yeah, it's been so long. Have you found a place to stay?"

"Thank you, I've found it." Qin Ran pursed his lips into a smile. He didn't tell him that he was renting Gu Lingfeng's house, "You specially came to find me not to ask me that, right?"

"Of course, the main reason is because I want to talk to you about the past." Han Cheng said with a smile. He examined her face closely and found that it was still calm and unruffled. It was neither surprised nor annoyed. He could not help but feel a little bored.

"Sir, miss, your coffee." The waiter interrupted the two of them. He placed the two cups of coffee carefully on the table, nodded, then put the tray under his arm and walked away.

Han Cheng took a sip of his coffee. Seeing that she still had no reaction, he could only wave his hand in frustration. "Alright, I was just joking. Actually, the reason I asked you out this time is to tell you some very important news. "

"Hmm?" Qin Ran didn't react. A syllable came out from his nose. The porcelain spoon in his hand slowly stirred the coffee, making a pleasant "ding ding" sound against the bottom of the cup.

"It's about the Gu family." Han Cheng accidentally saw her bright white fingers and became a bit absent-minded, but he quickly reacted. He lowered his voice and beckoned her closer.

Qin Ran's pretty eyebrows furrowed. She didn't really like this kind of intimate action, but it didn't seem like he was lying. She had no choice but to wait for a little while and then leaned forward to pull the distance between them, "Speak."

"I just received the news as well. It's said that Old Man Gu is severely ill, and the Gu Family's internal civil war is becoming more and more intense. " Han Cheng put a hand to his mouth and relayed the news word by word to her.

Qin Ran stopped stirring the coffee in his hand, causing the porcelain to make a crisp sound.

"Reliable?!" If that really was the case, then this might be the best time to take advantage of the chaos and attack the Gu Clan's internal organs.

There was a civil war in the Gu family, and Gu Lingfeng, as the last son of the old man, was in charge of a branch office. His influence could not be underestimated, so it was impossible for him to stay out of it.

No wonder he didn't have the energy to bother her recently ?

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes as his brain spun rapidly. Under his raised eyelashes, the light in his eyes was clearly hidden.

"It's the internal affairs of the Gu Clan. Of course it's reliable." Han Cheng said in a deep voice. He reached out his hand and placed it on the soft back of her hand, "Ran Ran, I said I will help you."

The feel of the skin on her skin made her uncomfortable. Qin Ran reflexively pulled his hand away. He moved so much that his coffee cup shook and spilled some liquid.

The corner of her mouth lifted into a smile. She awkwardly pulled out a tissue to wipe the table. "I'm sorry, I've been a bit too much recently."

Han Cheng's expression changed from one of awkwardness to bewilderment, then back to nonchalance. He shrugged his shoulders, "It's alright, it's all because Gu Lingfeng had treated you badly, I don't blame you."

Qin Ran was puzzled by the anger in his tone, "You really hate him?"

The Han Family and Gu Family had always kept their distance from each other, so it was very strange for Han City to show such anger towards Gu Lingfeng. Even if it was because of her, this reaction was too severe.

"A villain like Gu Lingfeng ?" Han Cheng drank a mouthful of coffee and heavily placed the cup on the coaster. His eyes flashed with a bright light, "Besides, if it wasn't for him ruthlessly seizing all the spoils, how could we ?"

A vague thought appeared in Qin Ran's mind, it was as if Han City was taking revenge on Gu Lingfeng not for her sake, but for his own.

She opened her mouth, wanting to remind him that their separation had nothing to do with Gu Lingfeng, but after thinking for a while, she decided against it.

Han Cheng had thoughts of hating Gu Lingfeng, which might be a good thing for her.

After bidding farewell to Han City, Qin Ran took a taxi and went straight to the Gu Clan branch ? ? Tiancheng Group.

The office buildings of the Tiancheng Group were located in the southwest corner of the city. The tall buildings pierced the clouds and the glass walls reflected the sunlight, making them seem cold and inhuman.

She got out of the car and stood in front of the building for a long time with her purse in her hand. After calming herself down, she slowly walked down the stairs to the company's lobby.

This was Gu Lingfeng's empire. Once she got close enough, she had to be careful with every step.

The Gu family had fallen into a civil war, which was undoubtedly good news.

Although she didn't know much about the current situation, she knew that the only ones who had the authority over the Gu family were Gu Lingfeng and Gu Shaolin. And Gu Lingfeng was the youngest son of Master Gu, and Gu Shao Ling was the eldest grandson.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before this godlike uncle and nephew duo would have a falling out.

Qin Ran had an idea in mind. He walked into the hall and followed the direction of the elevator he remembered, intending to directly go up and find Gu Lingfeng.

"Miss, the company forbids outsiders from entering." Before she could take more than two steps, she was stopped by the receptionist, "Miss, do you have an appointment?"

Qin Ran stopped.

He turned around and saw that the receptionist was the same person from back then. For a moment, she felt like she was in a trance, she politely smiled, "Hello, I don't have an appointment. However, I am here to apply. "

A few days ago, she had found information about the Gu Clan's recruitment on the internet, but she didn't expect it to be of use.

The receptionist also recognized her, but she wasn't enthusiastic. There was even a trace of disdain in her eyes. "Miss Qin?"

"It's me." Qin Ran nodded slightly, "I'm here to apply for an assistant. Can I trouble you to let me meet CEO Gu?"

"Director Gu does not need to personally handle the matter of hiring an assistant. You can just look for the HR Department." The front desk was expressionless. She had seen many women who wanted to climb higher everyday and had learned how to deal with them.

Thinking this way, the front desk glanced at the woman in front of him in disdain, and raised his voice intentionally, "Besides, if you really take in a woman who has been in prison, wouldn't that make our company a joke in the industry?"
