Back Then, I Adored You

Qin Zhi’ai was puzzled as she looked up at Gu Yusheng.

Her eyes, with dark irises and perfectly clear whites, glowed with a lovely gaze. They gave her a pure and pretty look, and his face was clearly reflected in her clear black pupils.

When Gu Yusheng saw such a lovely look, he was suddenly taken aback. He had intended to remind her to wipe away the coffee on the back of her hand, but the words were stuck in his throat.

Her eyes were so attractive that he couldn’t help but indulge in them, and he was extremely afraid that he wouldn’t be able to regain his composure. He forced himself to look down, then stretched out his hand with a paper towel to wipe the coffee off her hand.

Such a gentle touch made Qin Zhi’ai suddenly wake up.

It turned out that he had meant to let her wipe away the coffee from the back of her hand… How dare I bother him with this?

Qin Zhi’ai was so flattered that she said, “Thank you.” She took the paper towel and quickly wiped her hand forcefully where Gu Yusheng’s warm fingertips had just touched, until she felt slight pain rather than numbness. Her heart was thumping and beating rapidly for a while before gradually calming down. Finally, she handed the application letter to him again. “Mr. Gu., Master Gu, I’m coming to register.”

She addressed him twice, and although she was trying to cover up her nervousness, her gentle tone was trembling. His heart was racing and quivering due to her soft spoken words.

Gu Yusheng stood silently for a moment until he calmed down enough to continue. Then he stretched out his beautiful, slender fingers, took her application letter, and pointed to the sofa beside her, indicating for her to sit down.

How could a secretary sit in such a high profile board chairman’s office?

Qin Zhi’ai did not dare sit down, and Gu Yusheng didn’t force her to do so. Seeing that she was still standing, he remained standing with her

He’d had Xiaowang show him her application letter in advance and was basically able to recite every word of it fluently, but he still pretended to read it carefully, then picked up a pen and signed it. He looked up at her and said in an official tone, “I don’t like insignificant people entering my office in my absence. When you come into my office, the first thing you need to do every morning is clean it.”

“You need to arrange all the documents of the company. If necessary, remember to communicate with Xiaowang, in the case that I’m fully occupied by other business activities and have no time…” Speaking of Xiaowang, Gu Yusheng interjected some off-topic words. “We met at West University the other day, you should know his phone number.”

After Qin Zhi’ai nodded, Gu Yusheng continued, “Since you have no previous work experience, you may feel a little overwhelmed when you start, so I will allow Xiaowang to mentor you personally.”

Speaking of that, it seemed that something had occurred to Gu Yusheng. He took out a business card from his pocket, picked up a pen and wrote something on it, then handed it to Qin Zhi’ai. “All of my contact information is on this business card, and the handwritten phone number is my private number.”

After a pause, Gu Yusheng added, “Don’t tell anyone else.”

“Yes.” Qin Zhi’ai was in a daze and didn’t know what to say in response.

When she took the business card, she glanced at the eleven numbers he had written.

It was the same eleven numbers she had known so well that she could recite them fluently even if he hadn’t told her.
