The evening had arrived. The sky was filled with the warmth of dusk. Summer had passed unknowingly and early autumn had arrived. When the wind blew, and it was already slightly chilly.

Xu Weilai held her phone beside her ear with one hand and a cup of water in the other. She didnt continue drinking. Instead, slowly poured the remaining water in the cup into the potted plant. She watched the water quickly sinking into the soil. The color of the soil darkened.

She didnt answer Zuo Ans question directly. Instead, she asked, Zuo an, why do you like me?

Zuo An fell silent for a moment as if he didnt expect her to ask this question so suddenly.

After more than ten seconds, the mans gentle and soft voice sounded. Probably Its because youre special.

If he had to say why he liked her, he couldnt accurately say why. Who could say clearly why he or she liked someone? He only knew that Xu Weilai, this woman, had somehow started to affect his heart and emotions.

All these years, in order to achieve his goal, he had done everything without the slightest bit of emotion. Similarly, nothing could stop him.

However, when it came to Xu Weilai, he would start to waver, hesitate, be soft-hearted, and be reluctant to part with her..

She was really special to him.

His initial favorable impression of her gradually turned into wanting to have her.

Xu Weilai sneered lightly. But, she didnt show her emotions in her voice. She agreed, Okay, after the board meeting ends, Ill give you an answer.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Zuo Ans voice became even gentler. Rest well.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Weilai leaned against the railing and watched the sunset for a while. Only when the sun had completely disappeared into the clouds and the sky had darkened did she turn around and walk back into the house.

Three days later, in the meeting room on the top floor of the Gu Corporation.

Recently, the internal structure of the Gu Corporation kept changing from time to time. The board of directors meeting was almost becoming a common occurrence.

When Xu Weilai walked over, a few of the directors also walked over from the other side. She could recognize that these were the people who had always supported Gu Yus faction.

They talked as they walked.

Director 1: Say, Mr. Gu always looks strong and healthy. Why did he suddenly fall ill? We havent heard from him for a long time. Previously, I tried to contact Assistant Lin but I couldnt get in touch with him either. If we elect a new CEO this time wouldnt we be in trouble if he comes back in the future?

Director 2 said, A change of sovereign brings a change of ministers. Once this Vice-President Zuo takes over, do you think Mr. Gu will still have a chance if he comes back in the future? Im afraid that if we dont vote for him now and he takes over, well be the first ones he kicked out.

Director 3 said, Thats right. In the past, no matter what happens, Mr. Gu would always come out as soon as he could to stabilize everyones morale. This time, its really not that we want to defect. Its just that there hasnt been any news about him and we cant do anything about it. Furthermore, the news that Ive gotten is

He suddenly lowered his voice. The other directors unconsciously leaned their heads over and he said, Mr. Gu hasnt shown up for so long. Im afraid his health is really failing. Perhaps the next piece of news that comes out will be

His voice was too soft so Xu Weilai didnt hear his last words clearly. However, from the looks of shock, fear, and disbelief on the other directors faces, she could roughly guess what the person said.

One of the directors caught a glimpse of Xu Weilai. He quickly gave everyone a look and said, Stop talking. Lets go in.

In everyones eyes, Xu Weilai was Zuo Ans fiance. She represented Zuo An.
