Gu Sisi was now clearly flustered.
She knew there were few people on this stretch of road. If that man really went crazy and killed her right then, no one would notice.
She regretted it deeply. She should have left earlier instead of trying to find some shade from the sun.
What she didn't know was that there was a car parked on the road, and it wasn't empty. A man was quietly watching what was happening, his eyes showing no emotion.
The subordinate who had just left rushed back. When he reached the car, he was stunned.
In broad daylight, there was actually a murder scene. The more he looked, the more something seemed off. Isn't that the person who was rejected during the interview just now?
He didn't dare to intervene. Instead, he told his top - level boss what he knew.
After reporting everything, the subordinate also asked the company's HR department to send over the relevant information. The boss read it coldly.
He also happened to see another document. So it was her. No wonder she seemed a bit familiar.
"Go over there and help then," the man said after a moment of thought.
At this moment, Wang Chao was about to drag the sack with Gu Sisi in it on the road. Suddenly, he heard a dull sound on his head, lost consciousness, and fell on the road.
The subordinate cut open the sack, jumped into the car, and sped away. By the time Gu Sisi realized something was wrong and struggled out of the sack, all she could see was a speeding car.
"Why can't that person know?" the subordinate asked in confusion.
His eyes met those of the boss in the rear - view mirror, and he suddenly choked.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't," the subordinate said weakly.
Finally, the chilling aura dissipated, and the subordinate let out a sigh of relief.
"Inform her to come to work tomorrow," the man said coldly, looking at an interview form marked "pending".
...
Gu Sisi was picked up from the police station by Huo Cheng.
At that time, she was at a loss and had no choice but to call the police. One person was sent to the police station, and the other was sent to the hospital for examination.
When it was time to notify the family members, Huo Cheng drove directly to the hospital while Gu Sisi was still making a statement at the police station.
The veins on Huo Cheng's hands bulged, and there were faint veins on his neck.
He was very angry!
This was Gu Sisi's first impression.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong. Don't be angry," Gu Sisi said guiltily, knowing that she had worried him.
"You know I'm angry?" Huo Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically. The hidden anger made Gu Sisi a bit scared. She had never seen him like this before.
Gu Sisi didn't answer. Huo Cheng gradually realized that he was a bit intimidating now. He adjusted his tone and mood and said lightly, "My anger has nothing to do with you."
He was angry at himself for not protecting Gu Sisi well and letting something happen to her right under his nose. He was angry that her injuries weren't treated in time. Huo Cheng drove straight back.
"Stay at home and recuperate for a few days," Huo Cheng said with a straight face. "I'll handle this matter."
Gu Sisi wanted to say something, but she knew that any words would only make Huo Cheng angrier, so she lowered her head.
She thought to herself that she might as well just agree for now.
Just then, a phone rang.
Under Huo Cheng's gaze, Gu Sisi answered the phone, a big smile on her face.
"Is this Miss Gu Sisi? You've passed our interview. We hope you can come in for the on - boarding process as soon as possible."
Gu Sisi found the voice on the other end more and more pleasant. She had even prepared to give up for the time being. She didn't expect such good news to come so soon.
She murmured a few words of agreement and hung up the phone with a big smile. When she turned around, she saw that Huo Cheng was still frowning.
She couldn't care about that anymore. Gu Sisi's expression changed several times. Finally, she grabbed the bottom of Huo Cheng's suit and pleaded, "But I have to go to work tomorrow."
"Ask for leave," Huo Cheng said domineeringly.
Gu Sisi was about to speak but immediately fell silent. She couldn't say that she couldn't ask for leave now. If she did, Huo Cheng would find out that she had left her previous company.
It wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't convenient to mention it at this moment.
"I don't want to ask for leave," Gu Sisi said stubbornly.
Originally, Huo Cheng was very firm in his opinion.
But when the private doctor came for an examination and said that there were only bruises and no other problems, his attitude wavered a bit. But then he thought that if she wasn't under his protection, something like this might happen again, and she might not be so lucky next time.
So he insisted that Gu Sisi stay at home.
Then Gu Sisi refused to have dinner, and the atmosphere in the whole Huo Mansion became a bit strange.
Everyone knew that Young Master Huo was in a bad mood, so no one dared to provoke him. The nanny had already taken the child out for a walk.
Huo Cheng sat quietly at the dinner table, looking at the closed door. The food on the table was getting cold.
But Gu Sisi still didn't come downstairs.
Huo Cheng stared at the door, stood up, glanced at the food, and said softly, "Heat it up one more time."
Then he was about to go upstairs when Sister Hu stopped him.
"Master, the young mistress must be in a bad mood now. Don't force her. When she calms down, she'll understand that you're doing this for her own good," Sister Hu thought that Huo Cheng was going to force Gu Sisi to come downstairs for dinner.
Huo Cheng paused, shook his head, and said, "I admit defeat."
There was a bit of melancholy in his tone. Then he looked up and said, "Hurry up. She must be hungry."
Gu Sisi's persistence paid off.
Gu Sisi, who had been away from the workplace for a short time, was very excited to re - enter it. She was full of energy every day.
Gradually, the bruises on her body healed, and Wang Chao was detained.
Everything seemed to have settled down.
Gu Sisi also gradually adapted to the work environment.
The reason why it was so difficult for Gu Sisi to find a job before was that she wasn't applying for a position related to her previous work.
Instead, it was a position she had accidentally come into contact with during her work - a screenwriter.
She was now just one of the many in this field. There was no need to feel disappointed.
Gu Sisi worked hard every day. She wanted to have a say in this industry.
As a newbie, Gu Sisi often ran errands and did some unrelated jobs. But she was still satisfied because she could learn from some senior colleagues every day.
"Sisi, proofread this for me," a woman in her thirties handed over a script.
In this environment, almost everyone was older than Gu Sisi, so no one called her "Sister Sisi" anymore.
"Okay, Sister Juan," Gu Sisi took it and temporarily put it aside, speeding up the work she was currently doing.
"Do it quickly," the woman said uneasily.
"Don't worry, Sister Juan. I'll definitely finish it on time," Gu Sisi replied enthusiastically.
The woman nodded in satisfaction. For this newbie, the "old - timers" were quite satisfied. She was willing to work hard and eager to learn, so they were all happy to teach her.
The woman rummaged through the files and took out a script, putting it on Gu Sisi's desk. "By the way, after you finish this, take a look at this."
Gu Sisi glanced over and was surprised to see a familiar name - Wen Meiling - on the list of lead actors.
The senior's voice rang in her ear. "This new drama is about to start shooting. I don't have anyone available for the time being. You can follow me into the crew to learn."
