Chapter 40 Gu Yannian's End
Maybe I can wait for Li Jinxi to show up at work tomorrow, even if it’s just her assistant!
As long as he could get in touch with Li Jinxi, Gu Yannian firmly believed that all the difficulties he was facing would be solved. With such a glimmer of hope and expectation, he dragged his tired body towards Silan Group...
The next morning, Lan Yaoxia and the others packed their bags and set off towards their new destination without stopping. However, Gu Yannian stayed in the cold wind near the downstairs of Silan Group all night.
It was almost eight o'clock when Gu Yannian saw Li Jinxi's assistant Tan Jiaqi walking towards the company's entrance. He immediately gathered his strength and rushed forward like an arrow, blocking her way.
Tan Jiaqi looked at Gu Yannian, who was in such a state of disgrace and with scars all over his face, and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. Before Tan Jiaqi could speak, Gu Yannian asked anxiously: "Assistant Tan, where is Mr. Li? Will Mr. Li come to the company?"
Tan Jiaqi replied: "I don't know, Mr. Li didn't inform me."
Gu Yannian became increasingly anxious, repeatedly asking, "What's up with that woman Zhong Jieying? How dare she fire me? Did she make this decision behind Mr. Li's back? That must be the case, right?"
Gu Yannian was extremely anxious and couldn't wait to know the answer, but unexpectedly, Tan Jiaqi said, "It was indeed General Manager Li's order to fire you."
"Why did you come to the company?" Tan Jiaqi looked puzzled, and Gu Yannian was even more shocked after hearing her words, "No way, why would Jinxi do this to me?"
"You must have teamed up to get me!" Gu Yannian said angrily.
Tan Jiaqi said impatiently: "Stop joking, this is indeed Mr. Li's order." After that, she walked straight to the door without looking back.
Gu Yannian grabbed Tan Jiaqi like a madman and asked loudly: "Don't leave, explain it to me clearly! What is going on? Why would Jinxi fire me for no reason?"
Tan Jiaqi looked at the hysterical Gu Yannian, quickly shook off his hand, and warned: "I advise you not to make trouble here, otherwise I will call the security guard!"
Tan Jiaqi walked into the company, leaving Gu Yannian dumbfounded. He muttered to himself, "How could it be, it's impossible, how could this be possible, Jinxi would never do this to me."
"Just wait for me, Jinxi is back, I will let her take care of all of you!"
The highway was crowded with cars and people, presumably parents were taking their children out to play during the school holidays. Especially the destination "Xilin" this time, which was a well-known tourist destination, attracted countless people's attention.
Li Jinxi was booking a hotel on her phone, complaining from time to time: "Booking a hotel at this time is ridiculously expensive!"
“A good hotel costs several thousand dollars a night.”
Lan Yaoxia explained with a smile: "Now that students are on vacation, parents are taking their children out for travel. These hotels will definitely take the opportunity to raise their prices."
Li Jinxi suddenly said coquettishly: "Wow! This hotel actually has a luxurious couple's suite."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really don't know what Mr. Lan thinks?"
Lan Yaoxia raised the corner of her mouth slightly and smiled softly: "It's all up to you."
The two chatted occasionally in the car, and then Li Jinxi fell into a deep sleep.
Li Keyi stepped into the office and looked at the mountain of documents. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, which became stronger and stronger.
After traveling for a long time, I finally had to return to the embrace of reality. Faced with the mountains of work, I could only work day and night and work as fast as I could to complete it.
At this time, he received another call from his father. Li Keyi was struck by lightning and was urged to go to the hotel this afternoon to meet Wu Qianqian. After all, the two were about to get married, which could be considered a group marriage.
Upon hearing the news, Li Keyi's mood instantly plummeted, and even his desire to work disappeared.
After Du Yujie returned to the company, since most of the work had to be reviewed by his father before a decision could be made, this saved him a lot of time, so he was still relatively free and at ease.
For nearly half a day, Gu Yannian wandered aimlessly on the street like a zombie.
When he passed by a steamed buns shop, his stomach made a loud rumbling sound, as if protesting his neglect. He reluctantly took out the change in his wallet, which was as scattered as his mood at the moment, and bought a few meat buns to fill his stomach.
After arriving at the destination, Lan Yaoxia gently woke up Li Jinxi, and the two of them rushed to the hotel Li Jinxi had booked to check in.
Pushing open the door of the couple's suite, Li Jinxi looked at the bed that was arranged in the shape of a heart with flower petals, and smiled with relief: "Oh, I'm tired all day, I want to have a good sleep."
Lan Yaoxia smiled at him, her lips slightly raised, and said jokingly, "Why, didn't you get enough sleep in the car?"
Hearing this, Li Jinxi couldn't help but frown and complained with dissatisfaction: "Of course not, sleeping in that small and cramped car is simply unbearable for back pain." As she spoke, she reached out and rubbed her waist and shoulders, as if trying to relieve her physical discomfort.
Lan Yaoxia walked to the balcony, gazed at the rushing river in front of her, and her mood became cheerful.
The river is like a flowing piece of music, playing a cheerful melody, and like a dancing silk ribbon, light and elegant. Under the sunshine, the river water sparkles with sparkling waves, like countless tiny diamonds, dazzling and bright.
Lan Yaoxia's mood seemed to be infected by the beautiful scenery and became relaxed and happy.
Li Jinxi slept like a sleepy kitten until nightfall. She was awakened from her sweet dream by a gurgling sound in her stomach, as if it was a protest of hunger.
However, in sharp contrast, the situation of Gu Yannian, who was living on the streets, was even more miserable and unbearable to look at.
He was almost penniless and couldn't even find a hotel to stay in. At this moment, he completely collapsed.
The streets that were once bustling and crowded with people became deserted, and the city that was once brightly lit as day was gradually swallowed up by darkness.
As time passed, everything seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and everything was silent. Looking around, the twinkling lights in those tall buildings were like stars in the night sky, but now they are extinguished one by one, as if the whole world has lost its vitality at this moment.
Gu Yannian seemed extremely desolate and lonely at this time. He had no home to return to, no money, and could not find a comfortable and warm place to rest for the night.
In desperation, he could only look for an empty chair in a nearby park like a real beggar, then curl up and lie down, ready to spend this long and cold night.
