Chapter 1: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (1)
[Highlight: This is a female heartthrob! A heartthrob doesn't mean she's popular with all men!]
【Brain Storage】
(Let me be clear from the start: the female lead is just an ordinary girl. She doesn't have stunning beauty or super high intelligence, and she's a bit dim-witted. If you don't like it, you can just leave. Don't argue or find fault. The author isn't in a good mental state and might have a fit of madness at any time.)
(PS: Not everyone is hopelessly yandere from the start. Some are mildly yandere, some are 40% yandere, and some are fully yandere.)
(PPS: This is my first time writing a quick transmigration story, so I didn't control the pacing well. The first story is a bit long, so you can skip it if you don't like that kind of story.)
------------
June 13th, Cloudy
I am Leyan.
I've discovered that this world is a bit strange...
-
"Lele? Yanyan? Leyan!"
"Get up! Don't you have an interview at the Gu Group? If you don't get up now, you'll be late!"
Her mother's call rang in her ears, and Le Yan sat up groggily, her eyes still closed.
So sleepy...
Why did she schedule the interview for the morning? Couldn't it have been in the afternoon?!
... ... Okay, no, the Gu Group has its own time.
"Get up now! If you don't get up, I'll hit you!"
After receiving no response, Mom finally lost her temper.
Le Yan jolted awake, opened her eyes to see her mother standing in the doorway, holding a spatula and glaring at her. She instinctively smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Get up, get up, I'm getting up now!"
But inside, she was wailing, "My bed! My sweet, soft little bed!"
Having to get up so early in the dead of winter is really going to kill her.
*
Getting up is difficult, and going out is difficult too.
Feeling the howling north wind, Le Yan went out with a long face.
Standing in front of her electric scooter, she sighed deeply and finally spent a large sum of money to take a taxi.
Rather than being exposed to the wind all the way, it's better to take a taxi.
Le Yan, who never allowed herself to suffer, arrived at the entrance of the Gu Group in a warm car. Looking at the towering building, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
So there really are corporations that monopolize an entire building. She really is an ignorant bumpkin.
The little dog slowly shuffled into the Gu Group building. Just as it was about to introduce itself to the receptionist, it was knocked to the ground by a girl coming from the opposite direction.
Before she could even react from her seat on the ground, another girl charged at her menacingly, yelling, "Jiang Wandie! You better know who you are!"
"You're just a secretary to Brother Gu, I'm Brother Gu's fiancée!"
Jiang Wandie, her eyes brimming with tears, looked wronged and aggrieved as her collar was grabbed. "No, Miss You, you've misunderstood. Mr. Gu and I are completely innocent. I absolutely never wanted to steal Mr. Gu from you..."
Two strikingly beautiful girls enacted a scene straight out of a novel, leaving Leyan utterly amazed.
She remained seated on the ground, neither getting up nor remembering to get up.
Instead, he started looking around, trying to see where the camera was.
With her limited intelligence, upon seeing this scene, her only thought was: "This must be a movie shoot!"
Although she was very curious about how capable the production crew was to film at the Gu Group, seeing the two actors acting so convincingly, Le Yan fulfilled her duty as a bystander and remained quiet, determined not to disturb them.
Suddenly, Le Yan felt as if someone patted her shoulder. She quickly turned her head and saw a pair of long legs.
Looking up, he was wearing leather shoes and a suit, and was quite handsome. Could this be the "President Gu" that the two actresses were talking about?
Le Yan blinked and quickly stood up. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Did I disturb your filming? I'll leave right away!"
She thought it was the crew coming to kick her out, and she felt a little scared and uneasy.
Before the man could speak, she had already run away on her own.
Looking at the small figure, Gu Yunting paused for a moment before slowly withdrawing his outstretched hand.
Looking back at the two who were still causing trouble, Gu Yunting's eyes turned cold. "Get them both out of here."
Leaving behind those chilling words, Gu Yunting ignored everyone else and headed straight for the elevator.
Zhang, who was left behind, looked at Jiang Wandie and You Wenwen, smiled slightly, and said, "Gentlemen, President Gu has already left, so you should leave as well."
Jiang Wandie and You Wenwen stopped and belatedly looked up, only to see Gu Yunting's back.
You Wenwen was shocked: "Ah! Brother Gu actually saw such an unladylike side of me, it's all your fault!"
Jiang Wandie bit her lip gently, looking at Assistant Zhang pleadingly, "Assistant, I didn't mean it, please give me a chance..."
She had finally gotten an internship at the Gu Group, and she was even going to be Mr. Gu's secretary. This was such a rare opportunity for her, and she absolutely couldn't let it slip away!
Assistant Zhang looked at her with feigned difficulty, but his words were ruthless: "No, it's President Gu who personally said to ask you all to leave. Miss Jiang, please don't make things difficult for me."
"Miss You, you are too."
After speaking about Jiang Wandie, Assistant Zhang looked at You Wenwen, who was preparing to sneak to the elevator, and showed her the same ruthlessness.
This scene left Leyan, who was watching the spectacle with Xiaoli at the front desk, completely bewildered.
Wait a minute, shouldn't the normal plot development be that the domineering CEO protects the innocent girl and then kicks his fiancée out?
How come the domineering CEO left, and the innocent girl and her fiancée are being kicked out?
The outgoing Leyan immediately started chatting with her new friend, "Xiaoli, don't you think this plot development is a bit off?"
Xiao Li, who works at the front desk, thought about it carefully before saying, "That makes sense. President Gu is known for keeping strangers out and is unapproachable. Secretary Jiang and Miss You will definitely be kicked out together."
Hearing Xiaoli's words, Leyan's usually sharp mind finally came back online. She couldn't help but stammer, "Isn't this... filming a movie?"
Xiaoli was even more bewildered than her, "Filming? How could that be!"
This is the Gu Group!
The richest man in Jiangcheng!
Leyan was completely stunned; she was utterly devastated.
The thought of how she had just treated the CEO of Gu's Group like an actor made her want to dig a hole and disappear.
"Xiaoli, I'm doomed, waaaaah..."
Leyan, feeling terribly worried that she would fail the interview, started to cry.
Xiaoli could only comfort her, "Don't worry, you applied for an operations position, so you won't be able to meet General Manager Gu."
If President Gu personally conducts all the interviews, then the Gu Group would be lacking in prestige.
Xiaoli was very confident, and her confidence comforted Leyan.
Then ... ...
"Waaaaah! Xiaoli, you lied to me!!!"
Looking at the man sitting in the interviewer's seat, Le Yan completely lost her composure.
Today's interview is over. I'll go back and submit my resume to other companies.
Le Yan was inwardly crying, but the interview process went smoothly. After all, she wouldn't dare submit her resume to the Gu Group without real skills.
And what happened? The job she was so sure of was ruined because of her own gossip. How unlucky could she be?!
Stepping out of the Gu Group, Le Yan began looking at job postings from other companies.
But before I knew it, an email came in on my phone.
She actually passed the interview!
only ... ...
How did she become the president's assistant?
Or a personal assistant?!
