Chapter 223 Subtle Emotions
The next morning, as dawn broke...
When Lin Chuyue woke up, it was just dawn. The morning light streamed through the French windows, casting soft shadows into the room. Her schedule was always regular; even though she returned a little late last night, she still woke up at the same time every night.
She stretched, sat up, and picked up her phone from the bedside table. Several unread messages popped up on the screen, one of which was from Li Zhanchuan—
[Li Zhanchuan: Good morning.]
Two simple words, yet they inexplicably stir up emotions.
Lin Chuyue stared at the screen for a few seconds, a slight smile playing on her lips, then casually put down her phone and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.
When she finished getting ready and changed into an elegant suit, the maid had already prepared breakfast for her when she came downstairs.
"Miss, are you going to the company today?" the maid asked respectfully.
Lin Chuyue took the warm milk, took a small sip, and nodded slowly: "Yes, there's an important meeting today."
After hearing this, the maid didn't ask any more questions, but silently helped her straighten her coat.
Lin's Group, President's Office
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Chuyue arrived at the company on time. As soon as her secretary saw her come in, she immediately stepped forward to report: "President Lin, President Gu is already waiting for you in the conference room."
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering why Gu Yanchuan was here earlier than her today. However, she didn't ask any further questions, just nodded and walked towards the conference room.
The atmosphere inside the meeting room was calm and composed.
When Lin Chuyue pushed open the door and entered, Gu Yanchuan was sitting at the conference table, his slender fingers flipping through a document, his expression calm. Hearing footsteps, he looked up at her and said in a gentle tone, "You've come at the right time."
Lin Chuyue sat down directly opposite him and asked bluntly, "What important meeting is it today?"
Gu Yanchuan pushed the document in front of her, his eyes slightly darkening: "It's about a new project for the group overseas, and we need your decision."
Lin Chuyue looked down and quickly scanned the documents. A few minutes later, she raised her eyes and asked calmly, "This project involves a huge amount of money and carries considerable risk. Why would the board of directors consider it?"
Gu Yanchuan tapped the table lightly, his tone indifferent: "Because of the high returns."
Lin Chuyue chuckled lightly, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery: "Capital is indeed profit-driven."
Gu Yanchuan didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly with deep eyes.
The two were silent for a moment, and finally Lin Chuyue slowly closed the document, her tone firm: "I need to consider this matter further; I can't make a decision lightly."
Gu Yanchuan nodded, his expression unchanged: "You can evaluate it more carefully when you have time. I'm just giving you a heads-up in advance. The board of directors might be under some pressure."
Lin Chuyue didn't seem to mind, and smiled calmly: "I'm used to the pressure from the board of directors."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchuan smiled slightly, seemingly pleased: "It seems you're adapting well."
Lin Chuyue looked at him, her eyes flashing slightly, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing: "Of course, I've improved a lot compared to before."
Gu Yanchuan's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't deny it, but simply said in a low voice, "Mm."
After the meeting, we bumped into each other in the corridor.
When Lin Chuyue came out of the conference room, she ran into Luo Yurou.
Luo Yurou was holding several documents and was about to go to the finance department when she saw Lin Chuyue. She was slightly taken aback, then smiled and greeted her, "President Lin."
Lin Chuyue stopped and looked at her, a smile playing on her lips: "Coming to the company so early, you're quite diligent."
Luo Yurou smiled gently and said in a mild tone, "Things that need to be done should be dealt with as soon as possible."
Lin Chuyue nodded and was about to continue walking towards the office when she suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on her from not far away. She followed the gaze and met Gu Yanchuan's eyes.
He stood at the other end of the corridor, holding his phone as if waiting for someone, but his gaze was fixed on her and Luo Yurou, with a thoughtful expression.
Lin Chuyue's lips curled up slightly, her gaze sweeping meaningfully between Luo Yurou and Gu Yanchuan before she looked away and turned to leave.
She suddenly had a premonition—something might happen between Gu Yanchuan and Luo Yurou.
At the same time, the Li Group
Li Zhanchuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, toying with a black fountain pen in his hand, his gaze fixed on the city scenery outside the window, his expression inscrutable.
His phone on the table suddenly vibrated. He glanced down at it and saw it was a message from Lin Chuyue.
[Lin Chuyue: Are you busy?]
A slight smile played on his lips as he tapped the screen with his fingertip and quickly replied.
[Li Zhanchuan: If you're looking for me, I'm not busy.]
The next second, Lin Chuyue's message popped up—
[Lin Chuyue: Shall we have dinner together tonight?]
Li Zhanchuan looked at the screen, a deep smile flashing in his eyes. He lightly swiped his long finger across the screen and replied with two words—
【it is good. 】
