Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

Chapter 425 Office Romance

"First, I want to know who gave you this idea?" Gu Shangyan asked her. Of course, he had an inkling but he would still like to know it from her. If this woman said that this was her idea, he would certainly not believe it. It did not sound or look like something Shen Yue would do. Shen Yue was not this impulsively brave. Of course, she was brave but not impulsively brave. She would think a hundred times before doing something but not the woman who gave this idea.

"What idea?" Shen Yue asked. She acted as if it was her idea and none had anything to do with it. Gu Shangyan was not buying her act.

He took another step ahead and she took one backwards as he pointed at his office where an act had just taken place, "This…"

Shen Yue was adamant, "It was mine."

Gu Shangyan looked at her with a smile.

Shen Yue whispered, "It was Xiulan."

Gu Shangyan smiled, "Of course, it was her."

"Do you have a problem with it?" Shen Yue asked. Did he have a problem when she went to her friend with her problem first? Did he not like that she involved An Xiulan in this?

"With what?" Gu Shangyan asks, making her feel like a stupid woman. She did not like this feeling when she felt like she was dumb to think too much about a certain thing when it did not even affect the other person.

"Gu Shangyan, what game are you playing? I told you what I want you to know. It is up to you how you deal with this."

Gu Shangyan said mercilessly, "I am playing no games."

It took everything in her to stand there without retorting with something mean. Shen Yue, you can do it. She was saying this in her heart like it was her mantra.

"Do you have something to say?" Shen Yue asked instead.

He said, "No."

She told him so many things and he did not even have anything to say? Currently, she was not sad but disappointed. More with herself. Why the hell was she hoping for too much? She just wanted her friend back but it seemed she was just doing everything in vain.

"Alright, "She said, taking a deep breath. "Since you have nothing to say, I have nothing to say as well."

Suddenly, her disappointment turned into anger. Her moods were going through a rollercoaster.

"What are you doing?" Gu Shangyan asked.

"Oh, nothing, "Shen Yue said as she grabbed the pen that was placed on his desk. It was the pen that he had taken out from her hair bun one day saying that he needed it to sign some documents as he didn't have one. He never returned this pen and he never lost it either.

Since he had nothing to say, she had nothing to give him either.

As she left the office, Gu Shangyan burst into a fit of laughter. Her outburst only made him amused. She was pretty cute, wasn't she?

But he knew that he had pissed her off for real this time.

Next time, he was certain that she would stab him with the same pen if he fucked up.

As Shen Yue was leaving his office in a fit of anger, she met An Qinyan in the elevator. She had to put on a smile for her boss. She could not show the latter that she just left Gu Shangyan's office after having a fit of anger there. Did she just throw a tantrum? Oh lord, people like her could not even show dissatisfaction without feeling guilty. She always overthinks as if she even deserved to throw a tantrum. It was something she had never done before. But today she did that too in front of him! What was wrong with her?

Shen Yue greeted, "President An."

An Qinyan turned to look at her and asked, "Shen Yue, how are you?"

Apart from these two, An Qinyan's secretary and Shen Yue's mother and some other emp yees were also there. Miss Shen was the closest person to An Qinyan as his daughter had a good opinion of Shen Yue. Moreover, she was also close friends with her children. Thus, the higher ups were not surprised at the way Shen Yue was being treated by An Qinyan. They could not say that Shen Yue entered through the back door as the girl was extremely intelligent and hard-working. They could not easily point their fingers at her.

Shen Yie smiled, "I am doing good. What about you?"

An Qinyan said, "I am good too. Come to my office. You will meet Director Li."

"Director Li?" Shen Yue was surprised. How did she not know about Director Li? She did not recall anyone having Li surname in the directors.

Seeing her confused gaze, "We hired someone for Lu Xuan's place. She is waiting for me in my office. Since you are handling his work, it will be appropriate to meet Director Li as you will be guiding her in her job for the first few days. I hope you two can work alongside each other as you used to do."

Shen Yue nodded her head, "Yes, President An."

Shen Yue was relieved that there was finally someone to take Lu Xuan's place. His department is one of the busiest departments along with hers. It was not that she minded working hard but it was the office politics that always tired her out.

Now that Lu Xuan took the US spot many of the shareholders were offended. However, they could not win against him. The shareholders were forming their alliance to secure power in the office. She had been incited many times by the opposite came but she would try to steer herself away from the problems. She knew that it was impossible to have a neutral stance in the office and therefore, she made clear that her loyalty lies with An Qinyan, the real boss. She did not care about anything else.

She did not want to get entangled in unnecessary problems. As long as she could get her paychecks on time and work peacefully, she was happy with her life here.

As they entered the president's office, they saw a slim and tall girl with sharp blunt cut hair standing with Gu Yanxi. She had the persona of a model. It was strong as well as charismatic.

"President An, "The lady turned to greet An Qinyan. She did not seem to notice Shen Yue as she would have greeted her as well, "It's a pleasure meeting you."

An Qinyan smiled politely, "Likewise. Welcome to the company."

"Thank you for considering me for this post, "Director Li said, humbly.

An Qinyan nodded her head. "You are being humble. It was not easy making you take our offer over your previous company."

It was not easy bringing this lady to the team.

Director Li said, "I will be frank, President An. Working abroad is boring now. I was looking for a good opportunity to work back home and you provided me with one."

An Qinyan nodded. "Meet Director Shen. Your department will be working alongside hers."

As Shen Yue came into the picture, the lady raised her brow.

"It's a pleasure meeting you, Director Li." Shen Yue said in the most polite tone.

"Likewise."

They exchange a few more formalities.

An Qinyan looked at the two ladies, uncaring about the weird atmosphere between the two," Director Shen, I will leave it to you to introduce Director Li to her department."

Shen Yue smiled, "Sure, President An."

The two ladies were in the elevator alone.

Li Hanyi said, "Long time no see, Shen Yue."

"Likewise, "Shen Yue said without a smile.

Li Hanyi pointed it out, "You haven't changed much in all these years."

Shen Yue answered curtly, "I didn't notice."

Li Hanyi smirked, "You still are a fan of little words."

"As long as it serves the purpose." Shen Yue said. She had a lot of words. But they were reserved for people she liked.

Li Hanyi said, "It is going to be fun working alongside you."

The elevator stopped at their floor and as the door of the elevator opened, Shen Yue saw Gu Shangyan standing out as if waiting for her.

Before he could say a word, his gaze fell on the tall woman with her and kept his words to himself.

"Director Li?" Gu Shangyan guessed. He heard from his uncle that the new director came to join the office and he should meet her.

"This is?" Director Li turned to Shen Yue who said.

Shen Yue made the introduction, "That's Mr Gu Shangyan, the chief architect."

"Are you CEO Gu's nephew?" Li Hanyi asked.

Gu Shangyan answered, "I am."

She extended her hand and said, "He told me a lot about you. I am Li Hanyi. It will be a pleasure working."

Gu Shangyan just nodded his head. "See you around."

"Sure, "Li Hanyi said.

"He is not committed, is he?" Li Hanyi asked Shen Yue as he was not in sight now.

Shen Yue raised her brow and asked, "Why, cooking up an office romance?"

"Maybe?"Li Hanyi smirked.

Shen Yue muttered before going away, "How unprofessional!"
