She had never held his hand or embraced him, yet he had rolled in the sheets with Lin Kexin countless times...
What's more ridiculous is that the sheets they rolled in had been hand-washed and ironed by her.
Shaking her head, Gu Xiaoer forced herself not to think about that man and woman.
As her eyes fell inside the vehicle, she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, "Big companies really are something, even the perks for their top employees are so lavish."
The man in the black suit drove on, his lips twitching, not quite understanding the meaning behind the woman's words from the back seat.
Pulling out her phone, Gu Xiaoer dialed with a satisfied smile, "Han Luoli, you really have some nerve! Sending someone with a car just to pick me up, making such a grand gesture! Not bad, not bad, I'm very satisfied!"
Gu Xiaoer's voice was full of grandeur.
Light laughter came from Han Luoli on the other end of the phone, his deep and pleasant voice echoing, "Of course, I have to give you enough respect, don't I!"
Gu Xiaoer laughed along, "You just wait, as long as we successfully suppress those two, I will definitely give you a five-star rating! Plus, there will be an extra bonus!"
Bonus... Thinking about money, she suddenly realized, could her service fee cover such grandeur? Touching her flat wallet, she wondered if the money she saved from her part-time job during the winter break would be enough.
Taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth: Sweat and blood can be shed but no tears, one may lose people and money but never lose face! For the sake of pride, she was all in!
Worst comes to worst... she could discuss with Han Luoli about making installment payments!
"Did you get all the information about me?" To avoid being exposed, Gu Xiaoer couldn't help but nag.
"I got it..."
"And you remember your lines?"
"...I remember them!" Han Luoli held his forehead, was he beyond the point of no return on the path of being a rent-boy?
Feeling reassured, Gu Xiaoer still reminded him at the end, "Han Luoli, having face is good, but you must take it easy, overacting will be the end of it!"
Overacting?
Han Luoli suppressed a laugh, his slender fingers casually unfastening the diamond-studded buttons of his shirt, his lips curving slightly, "Alright."
The image of her sassy yet adorably dazed expression flashed before his eyes, stirring a slight flutter in his heart. A day apart and he found himself missing her scent.
His long fingers picked up his suit, ready to leave, when a phone handed to him by Wei Feng stopped him in his tracks.
"Boss, it's a call from the old man..."
Yanhuang.
This was a place of power and wealth in Mofeng City, situated on the priciest Jingan Avenue.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoer stood in a corner of the second floor of Yanhuang, looking down at the banquet hall on the first floor, scratching her head uncomfortably.
The banquet area was vast, large enough to accommodate a thousand people. Music poured forth, a melodious and soothing live piano performance, while the opulent crystal lights mirrored the luxury amidst clinking glasses, every guest was dressed to the nines, exuding extravagance.
The Lin Corporation really went all out for this event.
She thought, there probably wasn't anyone more ordinary than her here. If it weren't for the "glory" of her ex-boyfriend, she would never have attended such an occasion in her life. Fortunately, Han Luoli had arranged everything beforehand, having a driver tidy her up first, otherwise, she would truly be out of place here.
She just didn't know if he could handle this kind of event, whether he would slip up, or if he might run into any of his usual clients...
Just as she was caught up in her own worries, a wave of excitement came from the entrance of Yanhuang. Among the cheers of the crowd, celebrities and young masters and misses made their grand entrance one after another.
The lights fervent, the cheering remained high and did not wane, Gu Xiaoer looked up, and immediately spotted that person, her breathing momentarily halting.
