On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

"We are signing the contract, Manager."

The HR manager replied respectfully.

"Sign a contract? It's already time to get off work, why choose to sign the contract at this time!"

The HR manager looked displeased.

Faced with the manager's questioning, the HR director was speechless:

"This……"

Seeing the HR manager in a dilemma, Gu Wan quickly took the initiative to explain:

"Manager, I'm so sorry. I'm late, so I'm sorry."

The HR manager rolled his eyes fiercely and said impatiently:

"Since you're already late, just follow the company policy. Why are you still signing?"

Before she finished her words, she turned around abruptly and walked out of the room without looking back.

It turned out that this HR manager was Liu Jing's cousin. In terms of work ability, she was a mess, but she had a background - she got her current position entirely because of the relationship with Liu Jing's father.

"But……"

The HR manager obviously wanted to fight for it again, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw that the HR manager had left.

She sighed helplessly, turned to look at Gu Wan, and said apologetically:

"I'm so sorry, according to our company's rules, being late is equivalent to giving up automatically."

After hearing these words, Gu Wan stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning, completely stunned.

"Oh, I see……"

She murmured to herself, her eyes full of despair and helplessness.

The HR manager felt very sad when he saw the poor little girl in front of him.

In fact, as long as I signed my name, I would have got the job. Who could have thought that something would go wrong at the last minute?

She really didn't know how to comfort Gu Wan and could only stand aside silently.

Gu Wan slowly put down the pen in his hand and said to the HR manager with a heavy heart:

"It's all my fault. If I had arrived earlier, this wouldn't have happened. And you got scolded by the manager because of me. I'm really sorry!"

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.

"Okay, don't be too sad. This is just a job. If you are not welcome here, there will be other places that need you. If you miss this place, there will naturally be other places that need you."

Hearing this, Gu Wan almost couldn't hold it back, she tried hard not to let the tears flow down.

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave now and not bother you anymore."

Gu Wan said softly, then turned and walked towards the door.

However, before she reached the elevator, a figure suddenly blocked her way - it was Liu Jing.

In fact, the failure of the contract signing was entirely Liu Jing's fault. How could she miss the opportunity to take advantage of Gu Wan's misfortune and laugh at her?

"Hey, isn't this Miss Gu? Why do you look so resentful? It seems that the signing this time didn't go smoothly~"

Liu Jing said sarcastically.

Gu Wan suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. She stared at Liu Jing as if she wanted to eat her alive.

Liu Jing was so frightened that she immediately covered her face with her hands, took a step back, and said in a trembling voice:

"Gu Wan, what...what do you want to do? I warn you, this is a society ruled by law. If you dare to hit someone, I will sue you!"

Gu Wan ignored her threats and continued to approach her step by step, while gritting his teeth and questioning:

"Did you find that HR manager to deliberately make things difficult for me?"

"So what if it's me?"

Liu Jing shouted in a timid tone.

"Liu Jing!!!"

Gu Wan was furious, her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms.

Just when Gu Wan was about to explode, Liu Jing didn't even wait for the elevator. She panicked and ran into the stairwell nearby, heading towards the eighteenth floor.

As she ran, she turned back and shouted:

"As long as I'm here, don't even think about returning to Yueyin! It's impossible for the rest of your life!"

Gu Wan did not chase after him. At this moment, she had no intention of chasing after him. She had only one thought in her mind - to escape from this place as soon as possible.

She stared blankly at the indicator light next to the elevator door. The numbers gradually climbed from the first floor to the second floor, the third floor... In the blink of an eye, the indicator light showed that it had reached the sixteenth floor.

Just as the elevator door slowly opened, Si Yehan suddenly appeared in front of Gu Wan.

At this time, Gu Wan's heart was entangled with depression and sorrow. The moment she saw her father, tears burst out like a dam breaking.

Gu Wan couldn't care about anything else. She rushed into the elevator, threw herself into Si Yehan's arms, and burst into tears.

In fact, Si Yehan wanted to eat Gu Wan's cooking at noon, so he asked Yue Yin to sign the contract with Gu Wan in the morning so that he could pick her up at noon and let her cook for him.

The reason why he dared to show up in Yueyin in public like this was because he knew that no one here knew him. After all, although he is now the chairman of Yueyin, he is just a figurehead.

He handed over the full responsibility of Yueyin to professional managers. After all, the profits brought by Yueyin were not enough for him to run it personally.

He doesn't have to worry about anyone recognizing him as the richest man in Hai City. After all, because he suffers from misogyny, he rarely appears in public and rarely attends large banquets. There is no frontal photo of him on the Internet.

He originally wanted to cleverly create an opportunity to meet Gu Wan by chance at Yueyin, and even had an excuse ready.

But what he didn't expect was that he would encounter such a thing just after opening the elevator door.

Si Yehan was completely stunned. He instinctively tried to dodge, but was surprised to find that Gu Wan was holding him tightly around the waist, and he couldn't break free at all.

He was pressed against the wall of the car by Gu Wan, with his hands raised in the air, fearing that he would have a seizure.

He asked anxiously and concernedly:

"Wanwan, what happened?"

However, Gu Wan just kept crying without saying a word, and her tears flowed out like a dam bursting, as if she wanted to pour out all her sadness and grievances.

Seeing her so sad, Si Yehan felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.

"Wanwan, stop crying and tell daddy what happened, okay?"

Si Yehan comforted him softly again, his eyes full of pity.

Finally, Gu Wan slowly loosened her arms around Si Yehan, wiping the tears from her eyes while mumbling with a face full of grievance:

"Yueyin... I can never go back."

Si Yehan frowned, pulled Gu Wan out of the elevator, and comforted her:

"Wanwan, don't be sad. There must be some misunderstandings here. With your talent and ability, Yueyin will never give up on you easily."

Fortunately, no one else pressed the elevator button just now, so the two remained on the 16th floor.

Gu Wan lowered his head, sobbing softly, and remained silent.

Si Yehan was in a very complicated mood at this moment. He felt sorry for the harm Gu Wan had suffered, but he couldn't help but want to scold those who made her so miserable.

But in the end, he suppressed his inner anger and said to Gu Wan gently:

"Wanwan, wait here for a while. I'm going to the bathroom."

After saying that, Si Yehan walked quickly into the bathroom with a gloomy expression.

About three minutes later, the HR manager rushed out of the office in a hurry. When he saw Gu Wan standing at the elevator entrance, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

However, she did not step forward immediately because Gu Wan was crying loudly at this moment, and all this was caused by her.

So the HR manager called the HR supervisor and instructed:

"Go and coax Gu Wan into a good mood, and find a way to smooth things over for me. Make sure the contract is signed smoothly!"

It turned out that Si Yehan had just called Assistant Wu under the pretext of going to the restroom, and ordered him to immediately complete the signing of Gu Wan's contract.

The HR manager naturally wanted this very much and rushed to the elevator.

"Gu Wan!"
