The next day came quickly.
Gu Sisi stood downstairs of the all - too - familiar company, yet it felt completely strange to her.
She took a deep breath before lifting her feet and walking in.
"Hello. May I ask who you're looking for?" The receptionist asked politely with a smile on her face.
However, this politeness instantly shattered the mental preparation that Gu Sisi had finally mustered.
It turned out that even the little girl at the reception had been replaced.
Gu Sisi forced an awkward smile. "No. I'm an employee here..."
A look of surprise flashed across the receptionist's face, probably because she was quite unfamiliar with this "new employee".
"Sisi Jie! I heard you were coming."
A lively voice came from the elevator entrance, and everyone at the reception looked over.
Yang Qian fluttered over like a butterfly, hanging on Gu Sisi with both hands.
The receptionist, perhaps not expecting such a scene, quickly lowered her head. "Minister Yang."
Gu Sisi caught this not - too - loud voice.
"You've become a minister!" Gu Sisi pulled the girl off her neck and asked in surprise.
Yang Qian sighed and whispered, "It's just that the previous minister left, and that's how I got the position."
Gu Sisi was amused.
"You must have had the ability in the first place. What do you mean 'got the position'!"
At this moment, Yang Qian's face gradually fell. She squinted at Gu Sisi. "What about you? You didn't say anything before. You just said you had something to do temporarily and then disappeared for a year. What on earth did you do?"
Yang Qian sized her up suspiciously.
Gu Sisi felt uncomfortable under her stare. She really had done one thing during that year. She didn't say anything before because the situation was too special.
She got pregnant, then moved into the Huo family. She even had to find all kinds of ways to go out. Later, she was afraid of danger...
Just then, the elevator arrived. Yang Qian finally shifted her gaze, and Gu Sisi temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after they got on the elevator, Yang Qian squinted at her again, as if she wouldn't let her go if she didn't give a proper explanation.
Helpless, Gu Sisi had no choice but to give an account during this short period.
"What? You secretly gave birth to a baby!" Yang Qian exclaimed.
Although there were only the two of them in the elevator, Gu Sisi really didn't want everyone to know. She quickly covered Yang Qian's mouth with her hand.
She hissed until she saw Yang Qian nod while looking at her sideways, then she let go.
Yang Qian swallowed and whispered, "How old is the baby? Who does it look like? Can I go and see the baby?"
She had countless questions, and Gu Sisi was just about to open her mouth.
The elevator door "dinged".
"I'll go and see the boss first. Let's talk at noon. You go to work first. Thank you for coming with me." Gu Sisi said quickly and left in a hurry.
Yang Qian still maintained the posture of listening. She was instantly speechless.
She made a long face, stomped hard on the elevator floor, and muttered angrily, "It's all your fault. Why couldn't you be slower!"
Then she wouldn't have to think about this matter all morning and couldn't focus on her work at all.
All morning, Yang Qian had countless impulses to go and find Gu Sisi, but she was afraid of being sent back. So she just sat in her chair with a gloomy face, full of resentment for the whole morning, which made her subordinates not dare to come and report work to her.
Gu Sisi knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Gu Sisi held her breath and said, "Boss."
The person who had been buried in work finally looked up. Although they had been in contact before, it had been a long time since he last saw Gu Sisi, so he was a bit surprised.
"Come, sit down." The boss put down the pen in his hand.
Gu Sisi carefully sat down opposite him. After being away from the workplace for so long, she felt a bit nervous, just like when she first started working after graduating from college.
Her heart was pounding.
"Your previous office is still there. I sent someone to clean it yesterday. You can go in directly now."
"As for work, you can slowly get familiar with our company's new projects. After all, you've been away for a long time, and a lot of things have changed."
"By the way, there's one more thing. Since your position has been vacant for a long time, we recruited a new person a long time ago. But don't worry. You'll still be in this position. The two positions will co - exist."
Gu Sisi took the new office tools she got from the personnel department and pushed open her former office alone.
It was like opening a sealed memory. Gu Sisi stood still, and many fragments flashed through her mind.
There was no one in the huge office. It seemed that it had been deserted for a long time.
She put all her things back on her desk and opened the drawer. The things from before were still there.
The desk was spotless, but the slightly yellowed papers on it still revealed the passage of time.
Gu Sisi's fingers lingered on every item in the office. When she turned on the computer, the boss had already sent her some materials. Gu Sisi chose to accept them. When she opened the files, she found that they were all the completed works of their department within this year.
The work that was still in serialization when Gu Sisi was still in the company had already been completed.
She sighed that time was indeed the best medicine to solve everything, then she opened the work and started reading.
It wasn't until Yang Qian came to find her at noon that Gu Sisi finally shifted her attention away from this work.
Looking at the completion level, Gu Sisi sighed that it was really beyond her expectation.
"How's the new person in the comic department?" Gu Sisi asked.
She didn't have much feeling about this news. After all, the company couldn't stop just because she left.
She was just a bit curious after reading the completed comic.
"Not bad, I guess. I'm not very familiar with her. I've only met her a few times." Yang Qian replied listlessly.
She tightly held Gu Sisi's hand and whispered, "You haven't told me just now. If you don't make it clear today, I won't let you go back at noon!"
Yang Qian threatened childishly.
Gu Sisi smiled helplessly. "Okay, okay. You ask, and I'll answer. Alright?"
"That's more like it." Yang Qian nodded proudly. Then her eyes lit up, and she whispered, "Look ahead."
Gu Sisi understood the hint and quickly looked forward. A smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Sisi Jie~" A group of people ran over.
Gu Sisi grinned. Some of these people were from her previous department. Now, they seemed much more mature. However, she herself had also changed a lot.
"Are you all together?"
"Yes! We heard that you're coming back, Sisi Jie!" Everyone's faces were full of excitement.
Gu Sisi hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Everyone cheered and surrounded Gu Sisi, taking her to the side and chattering.
Yang Qian stood there, and her face darkened again.
One of the people from her department, who was originally walking towards this direction, turned around abruptly when he saw Yang Qian.
Yang Qian didn't notice this. Her attention was focused on that group of people. She bit her chopsticks hard. Why did someone always come to interrupt her!
She could only sit there helplessly, sighing constantly. It was really too lively over there.
