The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

As soon as I entered the president's office, Secretary Liu knocked on the door.

"Mr. Xu, there is a lady named Gu who doesn't have an appointment. She is waiting at the front desk and wants to see you. What do you think..."

"Let her come into the office."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

After a while, Secretary Liu brought Gu Jiatong to Xu Zehao's office.

"Mr. Xu, Miss Gu is here."

"Secretary Liu, how long have you been working at Xu's?" Xu Zehao suddenly raised his head and looked at Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu looked at Gu Jiatong in confusion, then at Xu Zehao, not knowing why he suddenly asked this question, and seemed a little confused, "Mr. Xu, I... I have been in Xu's for almost two years."

"Well, it's been two years. You've worked hard these past two years. Pack up your things and hand over your work to Miss Gu. You are fired."

Secretary Liu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Xu Zehao in disbelief, "Mr. Xu, I..."

"During the past year or so that you have been with me, you must have tipped off the old house a lot, right? Including Zhou Yian's dismissal and the obstacles in finding a job, you were the one behind it, right?"

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry. I joined Xu's company under the arrangement of Mr. Xu. I..."

"Okay, you don't have to say more. I understand everything, so you don't have to explain. I won't hold you responsible, but you can't stay in Xu's anymore."

There was no revenge as imagined.

Secretary Liu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

"Okay, you go out first."

Mr. Xu has been in power of the Xu Group for many years. Unexpectedly, in just over a year, the Xu Group changed hands. The news spread throughout Tianshui City in an instant.

Zhou Yian watched the news numbly, with nothing else in his mind.

"9472, Zhou Yian, please go to Clinic Room ."

After hearing this, Zhou Yian quickly stood up and walked into Clinic No. 3 with the medical records.

The doctor, who was over fifty years old, took her medical record and looked at it carefully, muttering, "Zhou Yian, 24 years old, brain damage and blood stasis compressing the nerves, resulting in neurological loss."

"Have you been feeling unwell recently? It looks like this is an old injury that has been going on for several years."

"Yes, doctor, I've been having more and more attacks lately, and the pain has become more severe, so I want to see if my condition has worsened."

"You can't tell from the surface. I'll write you a prescription. Go get a brain CT scan first."

After coming out of the hospital, Zhou Yian walked on the road in a daze, and what the doctor said kept appearing in his mind.

"Your disease cannot be cured. The frequent attacks are related to your mood. In addition, your body has developed resistance to the drugs, which is why you feel more and more pain. This is a vicious cycle. There is no way to avoid it. In the end, the dosage of the medicine will become larger and larger, and it may be useless to take the medicine. In addition, the side effects of taking too much of this medicine are very serious. You must be mentally prepared."

She smiled helplessly and said to herself in self-mockery: "This is a lifelong disease. Zhou Yian, just accept your fate. It will never be cured in this lifetime."

After the change of ownership of Xu Corporation, there was a major reshuffle of the internal senior management. Gu Jiatong naturally joined Xu Corporation smoothly and became Xu Zehao's special assistant.

Xu Zehao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the towering buildings outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Knock…knock…knock…, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Gu Jiatong pushed the door open. She was wearing a well-fitting professional suit and her hair was neatly combed. She looked smart and capable.

"Zehao, you're looking for me? Congratulations on successfully taking over Xu's."

Xu Zehao turned around and looked at her, "Jiatong, I should thank you. This is 10% of Xu's shares. I'm giving it to you." He picked up the document on the table and handed it to her.

"Is this why you came to me?" Gu Jiatong did not reach out to take it.

"Yes, the situation has stabilized now. I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, my plan would not have gone so smoothly."

"Zehao, you don't need the shares. You know I never help you for money." Gu Jiatong looked at him tenderly, her eyes full of admiration and love.

"If you hadn't saved me that time, I might have been exposed dead abroad."

Xu Zehao took her hand and stuffed the document into her hand. "I know you never help me for money. This is what I want to give you. I hope you can accept it."

Gu Jiatong was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll accept it. I can't let your kindness down."

"By the way, Mr. Xu, how are you going to treat him?"

"That's it. He has always valued money and power. He has always been strong and will not tolerate anyone disobeying him. For him, today's ending is more painful than killing him."

"Although Xu's company is in my hands now, the connections he has accumulated over the years are still there. As long as he behaves himself and doesn't interfere in my affairs, I won't touch him."

"Okay, I support whatever decision you make."

"Remember to help me check the follow-up matters. He may have interfered in some matters."

"I understand. It's a long time ago, so it's a bit difficult to check. Please give me some time."

"Well, you go down first. Since you have just joined Xu's company, there are many places you should be familiar with." Xu Zehao nodded.

"it is good."

After saying that, Gu Jiatong left Xu Zehao's office.

As soon as Zhou Yian came back from get off work, he saw Xu Zehao's car parked in the courtyard.

The moment she saw the car, she suddenly became nervous and stood at the door.

"What are you doing there? Come in."

Zhou Yian looked up and found that Xu Zehao was standing on the second-floor balcony looking at her.

"You're back."

"Well, come in."

When Zhou Yian entered, Xu Zehao was walking down the stairs and said calmly, "Accompany me to a party tonight."

Zhou Yian was stunned. This was the first time Xu Zehao said he wanted to take her to a party since they met.

"I?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Xu Zehao stared at him without any emotion in his eyes.

"But am I...appropriate?"

Xu Zehao frowned unhappily, "Just go if I tell you to."

"Okay, I'll go."

"So...what should I wear?"

Xu Zehao took a look at Zhou Yian. She was wearing a light grey woolen coat with a white turtleneck sweater as the base, black tights and khaki boots. She looked gentle, pretty and elegant. "No need. This outfit is fine."

"Then...when do we set off?" Zhou Yian asked timidly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zehao's tone was a little stiff.

"I... I haven't had dinner yet, and I'm a little hungry." Zhou Yian was a little embarrassed, his eyes wandering, and he didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Xu Zehao's lips curled up slightly, and his tone became a little gentler unconsciously, "Then you eat first, and make something for me by the way."

Zhou Yian looked up in surprise, and just happened to meet his gaze, and quickly dodged again, "You haven't eaten either?"

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Yian went to the kitchen and worked for a while. Soon he brought out two bowls of tomato and egg noodles, with emerald green vegetables, yellow soup, and a poached egg on each bowl. It looked delicious.

"It's time to eat noodles." She called softly to Xu Zehao who was sitting in the living room.

After Xu Zehao came out, he stood in front of the dining table and quietly watched Zhou Yian who was eating noodles seriously with his head down. Just as he pulled out a stool and prepared to sit down, Zhou Yian seemed to be frightened. His body trembled and he instinctively dodged back with a somewhat flustered expression. After seeing that he just sat down, she pretended nothing happened and continued to eat noodles.

Xu Zehao was stunned, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "An An, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive before, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Zhou Yian stopped eating noodles, looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head to continue eating the noodles in the bowl. After a while, she spoke slowly, "It's okay... I've forgotten it."

Xu Zehao opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing. The two of them just sat there and finished their noodles in silence.

After eating, Xu Zehao took Zhou Yian away. She was not curious about where he was taking her. If he didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask. If she didn't ask, he wouldn't say anything either.

As soon as he got on the bus, Zhou Yian closed his eyes, tilted his head and leaned on the chair. He looked a little tired, and soon he began to breathe evenly.

After driving for more than twenty minutes, Zhou Yian could feel the car stopped, but her eyelids were too heavy to open, and she fell asleep again.

"An An, we're here, get up." Xu Zehao saw that she was still sleeping and patted her shoulder gently.

Zhou Yian slowly opened his eyes, half-closed them, and looked at Xu Zehao in a daze with a dazed look. It was obvious that he had not fully woken up from his sleep.

She looked at Xu Zehao, then looked out the window blankly, "Are we there yet?" Her voice was gentle and lazy, extremely seductive.

Xu Zehao smiled and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to scratch her nose. "Yes, we're here. Let's get off."

Zhou Yian squinted his eyes and frowned, took a deep breath, slowly unbuckled his seat belt, slowly opened the car door and stood up. Obviously, he was not fully awake yet.

She raised her head and looked around carefully. When she saw clearly where she was, her body froze and her mind suddenly became clear.
