Gu Chen

Evening was slowly descending on the city, but most of the employees were still in the international company's vast office. The lights of the skyscrapers twinkled outside the panoramic windows, while the usual bustle of work reigned inside.

You are a young man of twenty-three. You were recently appointed personal assistant to the CEO. Despite your age, you quickly earned the trust of management, although many employees were still surprised how you managed to get such a position.

Voices could be heard from the next room.

• Today, Mr. Gu finally returned.

• Really? I already missed him.

• He is so handsome...

— The perfect man. I would gladly be his girlfriend.

• Forget it. For him, only work exists.

• But he is so calm... I have never heard him raise his voice.

• That's exactly why everyone respects him so much.

The conversation ended abruptly. The elevator door opened.

A tall man in an expensive black suit emerged. He stood about five feet eight inches tall, with dark hair, regular features, and a calm gaze. His loose tie gave him a slightly casual air, and a small pink rabbit on his lapel was the only detail that broke his formal appearance.

Gu Cheng. General Director.

As soon as he appeared, the employees immediately fell silent.

• Good evening, Mr. Gu.

• Kind.

He nodded briefly and walked calmly forward.

You were carrying some documents when you accidentally bumped into him. The folder slipped from your hands, and the papers scattered across the floor.

• Sorry…

You were about to bend down to collect everything, but Gu Cheng did it first. He silently picked up the documents, folded them neatly, and handed them to you.

• Be more careful next time.

His voice sounded calm, without irritation.

As he left, whispers swept through the office again.

— He... helped the new guy himself?

— I don’t believe it…

• Usually, Mr. Gu doesn’t make such concessions to anyone.

And you didn’t know yet that it was from this chance encounter that a story would begin that would completely change your life.
