An Junxi broke out in a cold sweat. "Senior, are you saying that Gu Yikun can silently and invisibly..." She made a knife gesture across her neck.
Gong Xiaoyu said, "Now you know how scary it is?"
An Junxi nodded pitifully. "Then can I go to President Gu to beg for forgiveness before this happens? Maybe he just wants to force me to apologize to them?"
Gong Xiaoyu asked coolly, "Are you, someone so upright and unbendable, able to do that?"
An Junxi said spinelessly, "My life is important!"
Gong Xiaoyu was both amused and exasperated. "You're smart for once. Give it a try, but President Gu isn't someone just anyone can meet. I'll try to pull some strings and see if I can help."
An Junxi made up her mind. "Even if I have to camp out at the Gu Building for days and nights, I must see him!"
Litigation burns through money. The other side has a powerful legal team, and she's destined to spend money on lawyer fees. She doesn't even dare to imagine the consequences of losing the case. Forget about buying a house in Yan City, whether she can even stay there would be an issue.
An Junxi cursed Gu Yikun's ancestors for eight generations in her heart and started browsing for information about Gu Yikun online.
She had never paid much attention to these tycoons before, but what she found terrified her. The Gu Family was enormous!
It's not that there were particularly many people, but almost every member of the family was formidable. The more An Junxi read, the more her heart sank. She was definitely doomed.
If she had known, she would have endured the anger back then and not argued with that brat.
Who would have thought that brat was so spineless and went crying to his dad? She was really blind.
An Junxi finally found a few photos of Gu Yikun in a financial magazine. Now, she didn't have the mood to appreciate the handsome guy. She grabbed a pen and fiercely stabbed the picture of his face. Not for anything else, but because this face looked too much like a little devil's. No, the little devil looked too much like him; both were equally annoying!
All those with the surname Gu are no good!
There was pitifully little information about Gu Yikun. All she could find were some introductions in the financial section. This was too mysterious!
An Junxi had no choice but to choose the dumbest yet most effective method—staking out.
She first went to the Gu Building to try her luck at the reception. "Hello, I'd like to see your president."
"May I know your name, miss? Do you have an appointment?"
An Junxi shook her head.
The receptionist's smile remained unchanged. She politely escorted An Junxi out.
An Junxi didn't give up and stayed there. "Just one meeting, I really have something very important. Please!"
The receptionist, with high professional training, smiled gently. "If Miss An continues to cause a disturbance and affect the company's image, we will have to call security."
Such a gentle sharp blade.
An Junxi had no choice but to retreat.
She stood at the entrance, looking up desperately at the skyscraper. She had no idea which floor Gu Yikun's office was on.
The receptionist said a few words to the security guard by the door, occasionally pointing at An Junxi.
The security guard stared at An Junxi defensively, as if trying to see through her.
An Junxi knew it would be impossible for her to enter the Gu Building again in the future.
She walked around the building, nearly breaking her legs just to figure out its layout. There were four parking lot entrances. Gu Yikun should take a dedicated elevator from the parking lot directly to his office. The chances of her meeting him at the entrance were zero.
As An Junxi was in utter despair, Gong Xiaoyu called and said, "Jun Xi, good news. I have a client who happens to work in the PR department at the Gu Group. She knows Gu Yikun's car and license plate number. Take note of the details. The president's exclusive elevator is closest to exit number two. Your chances are better there. Mr. Gu values his privacy highly. That's all I could find out."
An Junxi was ecstatic. "Senior, I love you!"
Gong Xiaoyu was helpless. "That's it. Don't rush into work until you solve this, or you won't be able to focus."
An Junxi's eyes were teary. "Senior, if I didn't say, people might think you're my real sister."
Gong Xiaoyu laughed, "Alright, don't be pretentious. Once you've settled this, make me a good meal as a reward. I miss your cooking."
"Yes, boss!"
An Junxi hung up the phone and jogged to exit number two. Just as she arrived, she saw a Maybach 62S driving out. She quickly glanced at the license plate, which was indeed the one her senior had mentioned as Mr. Gu's car!
An Junxi thought she was really lucky to have bumped into him right away!
Without hesitation, she ran out to stop the car. "Mr. Gu, please wait a moment!"
The car screeched to a halt just three centimeters from her.
An Junxi broke out in a cold sweat, thankful for the driver's skills!
Ignoring everything else, she ran to the backseat window and knocked. "Mr. Gu, are you there? I'm An Junxi, who received a court summons from your company. I need to talk to you, just two minutes of your time!"
The window was completely dark; she couldn't see if anyone was inside.
The driver's door opened slightly. An Junxi's heart leaped with joy, but the next moment, as if receiving some command, the driver immediately shut the door and sped away.
An Junxi was left standing there, confused.
So just now, was Gu Yikun inside?
Was it his order for the driver to leave?
That was too arrogant; he didn't even give her two minutes!
An Junxi was so angry she wanted to curse. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself, reminding herself not to act impulsively, or things would get worse.
An Junxi then took on the spirit of a paparazzo and staked out at the parking lot entrance for two full days. On the third morning, when she was nearly exhausted, she finally saw an Audi drive in.
An Junxi used to know nothing about cars. To her, cars were just a few types. Thanks to her intense cramming on car knowledge over the past two days using her phone, she had a slight understanding now.
As the president of the Gu Group, Gu Yikun definitely had several cars. If she didn't investigate thoroughly in advance, what if she missed him?
So when this Audi appeared, An Junxi immediately knew it was a luxury car among luxury cars, and it was likely driven by no one else but Gu Yikun.
She stood up, only to find her vision darkening. Days of insufficient rest had left her utterly exhausted. She quickly propped herself against the wall. In that brief moment, the car had already driven into the parking lot.
An Junxi gathered herself and tried to chase after it, but was stopped by security at the entrance.
"Miss, this is the car entrance of our company's parking lot. Pedestrians cannot enter. If you need to enter the building, please use the main entrance on the first floor."
An Junxi was anxious. "Please make an exception this once, I have an urgent matter."
The security guard was firm in his principles. "It's our duty. Please don't make it difficult for us."
An Junxi turned away dejectedly. "Alright then."
The security guard finally relaxed.
Suddenly, An Junxi made a sharp turn and darted through a gap by the barrier, swiftly slipping into the parking lot.
