Chapter 1600: Chapter 1600: President Shen Has No Dinner Engagement Tonight

It seems he doesn’t even care where she’s going.

Is he really busy?

Gu Ziyou returned to her desk and tidied up, thinking it over before she left, then decided to go back.

She went to Shen Lingfeng’s secretary to inquire.

What dinner plans does he have? How come she didn’t know as his assistant?

"President Shen doesn’t have any dinner engagements tonight." The secretary reviewed his schedule.

Ordinarily, Gu Ziyou’s position wouldn’t allow her to ask such questions.

But as President Shen’s secretary, she had long since noticed the relationship between Gu Ziyou and President Shen.

It’s almost an open secret on this floor.

Assistant Gu is President Shen’s girlfriend.

And the rumors of them living together had already spread from the advertising department before Gu Ziyou was transferred upstairs.

The other departments might still be speculating, but those on this floor who frequently see the two are quite sure the rumors are mostly true.

Besides, they hardly ever avoid each other.

So when Gu Ziyou came over to ask, she was treated directly as the president’s wife.

"No dinner engagements? Then is today’s workload heavy?" Gu Ziyou maintained a smile.

The secretary thought she wasn’t here to stir things up and assumed they might have a date tonight, hence the inquiry about President Shen’s schedule.

"Today’s workload for President Shen is relatively less compared to the previous week."

Gu Ziyou’s heart sank a bit, but she still smiled and said, "I see, thanks!"

Outside the company building, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

It seems he really doesn’t have much going on today.

Just as she left the building, she received a call from Xue Mengmeng, informing her to come over for a ride.

After coming out, Gu Ziyou quickly found the car Mengmeng mentioned.

"Chaoxi?" Gu Ziyou was genuinely startled to see the driver.

Xue Mengmeng, sitting in the passenger seat, winked at her, "Surprised, right? I was too. Brother Chaoxi is brave, driving around town is nothing! I just went down to buy a lot of delicious food, let’s go back and eat."

Li Chaoxi took off his sunglasses slightly, smiled and said, "Get in the car."

"Alright, I’ll get in right away." Gu Ziyou thought it was best not to linger on this busy street.

As the car drove away, people nearby began to gossip.

"Isn’t that Gu Ziyou?"

"Yeah, and that doesn’t seem like President Shen’s car."

Gu Ziyou’s rise directly to the upper levels by cozying up to President Shen had already left a bad reputation in the advertising department.

Those unaware always speculate in various ways, but they can’t access those at the top, rarely even seeing Gu Ziyou in person, leading them to imagine the worst.

Seeing her get into a luxury car now only reinforces the idea that she isn’t as pure as she seems.

"This car is quite expensive, if I didn’t mistake it, it’s said to be a custom Range Rover, with only three of them nationwide. She’s really something!"

"How do you know this car?"

"Because Li Chaoxi has this model too."

"The driver is a man, seems to be quite heavily covered."

"Probably just a driver."

Xue Mengmeng twisted her head, wanting to speak to Gu Ziyou in the backseat, but found it inconvenient and regretted, "I should’ve changed seats earlier; I should be sitting in the back."

"Can’t you talk when we get back?" Li Chaoxi laughed with a hint of sarcastic disbelief.

Xue Mengmeng huffed lightly, "Us girls have things to say quietly."

Actually, she wanted to talk about Shen Lingfeng.

Throughout the ride, she hadn’t mentioned Shen Lingfeng, unsure what Gu Ziyou planned to do.

She originally thought Shen Lingfeng might come along with her.
