Gu Yuanshan let out a light snort and pulled a blank check from the drawer, sliding it across the table toward me with a hint of barely concealed arrogance in his tone. "Fill in whatever you want." He interlaced his fingers, leaning slightly forward, his gaze fixed on me with an intensity that suggested he was certain I would be swayed by his "generosity."
I picked up the pen and wrote a string of numbers on the check before placing it back in front of Gu Yuanshan. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the check and making the numbers glare strikingly.
He glanced at the figures—neither too much nor too little, exactly ninety-nine percent of his entire fortune. Gu Yuanshan's face turned ashen, his knuckles whitening as he gripped the chair's armrest, and a vein on his temple pulsed slightly. He took a deep breath, struggling to contain the anger that threatened to erupt. Sitting beside him, Bai Qianchen looked over curiously, gently tugging at Gu Yuanshan's sleeve with a questioning look in her eyes.
I took a sip of coffee from the table, savoring the bitter liquid as it spread across my tongue before setting the cup down with a soft clink. The crisp sound of porcelain against glass felt particularly jarring at that moment, as if striking against Gu Yuanshan's taut nerves. I stood up, looking down at him from above, a playful smile curling at the corners of my mouth.
"Deal." I turned to leave but paused at the door, suddenly recalling something. "By the way, President Gu, my working hours are flexible. If you can't find me, you might want to check out the Jianbing Guozi stall near the office. My Jianbing Guozi is quite famous in these parts." I deliberately raised my voice to catch Bai Qianchen's attention; her eyes widened in disbelief at my unexpected identity. I winked at her before pushing open the door and leaving them staring at each other in confusion.
As the office door closed softly behind me, cutting off the oppressive atmosphere inside, I took a deep breath, relishing the fresh air flowing through the corridor. I felt particularly uplifted. When I reached downstairs, I noticed the HR lady anxiously talking on the phone while clutching my documents, her brow furrowed and occasionally adjusting her glasses.
I approached her and gently tapped her shoulder.
"Ah!" The HR lady jumped in surprise, nearly dropping my documents. When she saw it was me, she sighed in relief and placed a hand on her chest. "Xie Gongqiu, why do you walk so quietly? You scared me to death!" She adjusted her glasses again, her tone tinged with exasperation. "President Gu asked me to contact you immediately and said you need to return to his office for an important discussion. He's so unpredictable!"
I shook my head with a smile and pointed to my Little Electric Donkey parked nearby. "No need for that; I've resigned. From now on, I'm going to be a free 'woman like the wind.'" I hopped onto my Little Electric Donkey, put on my helmet, and prepared to embark on my delivery career. "I'm off to deliver food; see you later!"
I twisted the throttle, and my Little Electric Donkey roared to life with a cheerful hum as it whisked me away from the company building. The sunlight warmed my face pleasantly, and I felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.
Passing by a Jianbing Guozi stall, I saw the vendor busily working away, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. I stopped my bike and walked up to him. "Boss, I'll have one deluxe Jianbing Guozi with five eggs!"
"Alright!" The vendor skillfully spread the Jianbing, his movements smooth and practiced.
While waiting for my Jianbing Guozi, I noticed a man in a suit nearby, anxiously talking on the phone. His brow was furrowed, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone. "…Yes, it's her! Riding a pink Little Electric Donkey, wearing a white helmet… You need to find her quickly!…"
I couldn't help but chuckle to myself; it was obvious that this was someone sent by Gu Yuanshan to look for me. I took the steaming Jianbing Guozi, paid the vendor, and said, "Excuse me, could you please keep an eye on my Little Electric Donkey for a moment? I'll be right back."
