“Hey, how are things going? Huh, don’t tell me you’re scared stiff because you couldn’t believe I’d offer you so much money?” Ji Jiayi sneered.
“Miss Ji…” The secretary hurried over and reminded her in an especially respectful and cautious voice, not daring to irritate her.
“Quiet!” Ji Jiayi scolded impatiently, “Don’t you see I’m talking to her? Don’t be a nuisance here.”

She hadn’t planned for the secretary in Gu Annan’s office to overhear this rather disgraceful matter.
Moreover, since Gu Annan was not around, she felt no need to put on a façade for them and thus spoke very rudely.
“That’s not it, Miss Ji. Mr. Gu said that if you have nothing else to do, you may leave now. You know Mr. Gu’s rules—no lingering without work-related reasons.”
“I still need to report to Brother Annan!”
“I’m sorry, Miss Ji, but Mr. Gu’s time is very precious. You have not gone yet, and Mr. Gu has canceled this meeting. He said you may leave now.”
One could imagine how Ji Jiayi might react upon hearing this, so the secretary spoke very cautiously.
“Canceled?” Ji Jiayi was stunned.
The secretary nodded, “Yes, Miss Ji, these are Mr. Gu’s instructions. Please don’t make it hard for us.”
“I’m just a little late. Brother Annan won’t refuse to see me. I’ll go now.”
“Miss Ji, Mr. Gu is currently busy with matters and his schedule is very tight,” the secretary said.
Ji Jiayi bit her lip hard, her face turning pale.
She had obtained a hard-earned opportunity to see him today; she couldn’t accept it being canceled so readily.
However, she was also aware of how seriously and earnestly Gu Annan treated his work. If, as the secretary said, he was really busy, she wouldn’t dare to barge in rashly.
“I was just a bit late. Why didn’t anyone come to remind me in advance?” she vented her anger on the secretary.
The secretary could do nothing but apologize repeatedly, “I’m sorry.”
“Such useless people like you don’t deserve to stay on this floor!”
The secretary was frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
Suddenly, a pleasant but cold female voice spoke up, “Ji Jiayi, she is an employee of Gu Corporation, and it is not her duty to inform you of such matters.”
Upon hearing Lu Wanwan’s words, Ji Jiayi grew even angrier, “You still have the nerve to talk to me? It’s because of you that I wasted so much time!”
“It was you who approached me first, and you wasted your own time.”
Clearly, Ji Jiayi didn’t care about the factual situation; her pretty face was livid, “I will wait here until Brother Annan is free, and then I’ll come.”
The secretary was at a loss, looking at Miss Lu
Mr. Gu had decided to ask Miss Ji to leave after hearing that Ji Jiayi was giving Miss Lu a hard time.
If these two were to wait together in the lounge, with Miss Ji’s unreasonable temper, the consequences could be unimaginable.
“Mr. Gu instructed us to ask you to leave, Miss Ji. He doesn’t have time to see you today; these were his exact words,” the secretary summoned up the courage to face Ji Jiayi.
Ji Jiayi’s face alternated between red and pale, “Brother Annan would never say that!”
“Mr. Gu!” the secretary exclaimed upon seeing the tall figure exiting the office, as if seeing a lifeline, “I have delivered the message to Miss Ji.”
Gu Annan’s steps were stern, followed by his assistant.
He glanced over this way, grunted affirmatively, and then looked at Lu Wanwan, who hadn’t gone to the lounge yet, “Why are you still here?”
Ji Jiayi thought he was questioning why this woman was still lingering on this floor and accused in her coquettish voice, “Brother Annan, she won’t leave.”
