134: Chapter 134 Taste the Flavor of an Old Classmate

"Hearing you say it like that, I feel like I've suddenly seen the light."

"Right? Otherwise, why would that big shot have so much money! Investing two million in such a small company like ours."

"What's the matter, Xiao Tong? Do you think the company is too small? Do you want to switch to a bigger company to work?"

The sudden voice made the two of them tremble. The employee named Xiao Tong hurriedly turned his head to look, immediately revealing a bitter expression.

"Manager Jiang, you misheard. The company is like my home; I love it more than anything. How could I think it's small? I was talking about the company across the street."

Jiang Wanyin glared at him upon seeing this, tossed the documents onto the desk, and said crossly,

"You don't do any proper work all day, just thinking about nonsense. Finish these documents immediately. If you don't finish, you can expect to work overtime!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Looking at the documents on the desk, Xiao Tong complained to his colleague with a frustrated face.

"I was wondering why it suddenly got quiet around here. Manager Jiang came over and you didn't even give me a heads-up. Are you trying to get me killed?"

"If she heard something and reported it to the General Manager, how would I even survive in this company?"

The employee he was talking to, Wang Yong, also looked innocent.

"I didn't know when Manager Jiang arrived either. I didn't even notice when she was standing behind us, so how could I tell you?"

"I don't care, you have to help me do this. I don't want to stay late for overtime tonight."

Wang Yong didn't take up that topic but leaned closer to his ear and whispered even more softly,

"You were the one who advised me before, saying we should switch companies together! Now that Manager Jiang is looking for trouble, isn't this a perfect opportunity? Why are you still so afraid of her!"

Hearing this, Xiao Tong specifically turned his head to check. When he saw no one around, he leaned into his ear and replied,

"I'm only telling you this because I see you as a brother. Be sensible after you hear it."

"You're really stupid. Before, there was no choice; the company was small and there was internal infighting among the higher-ups. We definitely had to plan an exit strategy!"

"As for now? It can't be compared to before. Now, not only does the General Manager hold sole power, but there's also a big shot backing the company. Do you think this company will be bad in the future?"

Wang Yong finally nodded in realization.

"Oh, I see! I get it now."

"You get it, right? Then hurry up and help me. There's still over an hour and a half until we get off work. If we do it together, it should be enough."

"No problem."

In an independent area near the office desks, as one of the company's five major designers, Gu Yuqing's treatment was quite good.

Seeing the voice message sent by her Best Friend, she didn't think twice before putting it to her ear to listen.

[Weiwei: About that hotel call last time, I told your Old Classmate. He said he'd be more than happy to have you join in; he's been wanting to get a taste of his Old Classmate for a long time now.]

After Gu Yuqing heard this, she seemed to think of something, and her delicate face was immediately covered in a blush. She then gritted her teeth and replied,

[Yuqing Baby: You're talking nonsense. Just wait until you get back and see if I don't tear your mouth apart.]

[Weiwei: I'm at home! Come find me after work, and I'll take you out for a big meal.]

Seeing her Best Friend's reply, Gu Yuqing was also stunned.

[Yuqing Baby: You're back in Jiangning Jiang? When?]

[Weiwei: Just got back. I contacted my good Darling immediately.]

[Yuqing Baby: Alright then, I've got an hour and a half until I'm off work. I'll head to your place then.]

[Weiwei: Waiting for you!]

Seeing the reply, Gu Yuqing finally put down her phone. Although her eyes were fixed on the computer, her thoughts were on her Best Friend's words.

She had never doubted her own looks. She had no lack of pursuers in high school, let alone in university.

She couldn't even count the love letters and gifts she had received.

After graduating and entering this company, even though it wasn't large, she worked diligently and strove for excellence. With her outstanding appearance and persistence, she soon earned the General Manager's trust.

Added to the fact that both of them were exceptionally beautiful, they naturally felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

Like the last time the General Manager talked to her and told her that from now on, the company would depend on her.

Gu Yuqing also knew that since the General Manager said that, it proved she couldn't hold on much longer either.

In fact, Gu Yuqing had already made plans; once the General Manager left, she would resign too. After all, if the company continued like this, she saw no hope.

Aside from not telling Li Luo the truth about that point, what she said before about switching companies was true.

As for what she told Li Luo last time, it was all from her perspective as an employee; there was no need to blurt everything out all at once.

Now that the General Manager had not only secured investment but also bought out all the other shareholders, she was genuinely happy for her.

She didn't have to worry about finding a new job now. Next were her private matters—it was time to have a good talk with her Best Friend.

On the other side.

Li Luo parked his car downstairs at the apartment he was renting.

Then he went upstairs, opened the door, and walked around the rooms.

Actually, this place wasn't big, but every corner had traces of his life.

Not today—it was already four in the afternoon. He would go get the keys to the new house tomorrow morning and move his things over then.

In fact, he didn't have much—just some clothes and daily necessities. As for the appliances and such, they all belonged to the Landlord.

He used to think about the security deposit, but now he decided to forget it. Besides, with a sudden move-out, given the Landlord's personality, it was impossible to get it back anyway.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and dialed the Landlord's number.

Before long, the call connected.

Li Luo didn't waste words and got straight to the point.

"Landlord, come over tomorrow morning to take back the house."

The Landlord was also stunned upon hearing this.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly stopping the rental?"

Li Luo saw no need to hide it and told the truth.

"I bought a house in Jiangning Jiang and I'm moving there tomorrow. Just come over tomorrow morning to take the house back."

The Landlord, however, scoffed. He knew this tenant was a ride-hailing car driver.

Hearing him say he bought a house in Jiangning Jiang—wasn't that nonsense? A country bumpkin trying to act tough with him? He then said sarcastically,

"Oh, bought a house! Well, congratulations, congratulations! But you'd better think it through! Since you're terminating the lease so suddenly, the deposit won't be returned! It's written clearly in our contract, so don't say I'm bullying you."

Li Luo naturally heard the sarcasm in his voice and saw no need to be polite.

He immediately replied in a cold voice,

"If you're going to congratulate me, do it properly. Who are you trying to impress with that sarcastic crap? As for the deposit, I don't want it. Clean the house yourself tomorrow."

After saying that, Li Luo hung up before he could respond.

The Landlord was about to start cursing when he saw the call had ended, leaving him quite furious.
