Bank security? The moment I heard this, I broke out in a cold sweat.

The last time I was at the bank to withdraw the property title, the security guard was in hot pursuit behind me.

I thought I had escaped him, but to my surprise, he pursued me all the way to our office.

Did I expose myself?

Even though I was panic-stricken inside, at least I managed to stay cool when talking to Gu Yuanzhou.

“President Gu, what do they want with me?”

“You’ll find out when you get here!”

It seemed like Gu Yuanzhou was somewhat angered, he said a few words and hung up abruptly.

I turned to look at Ding Yinuo.

He was also staring at me, his gaze tinged with obvious concern.

“Can I still attend the party tonight?”

“Yes, you guys just wait for my good news!”

I didn’t want to worry Ding Yinuo, so I decided not to tell him about this.

However, as I started to walk away, he suddenly grabbed my hand.

I saw in his eyes three parts reluctance, seven parts worry…

I untwined his fingers, one by one, he quickly clenched his hand again and enveloped me in an unexpected embrace.

I leaned against his chest, pushing him away slightly.

“Ding Yinuo, it’s not very auspicious that you’re constantly embracing me as if we’re parting for life and death.”

He didn’t say much, just responded lightly,

“Take care of yourself and keep your phone on at all times.”

“I know, I know, bye!”

I stepped down the stairs, walking away without looking back.

As I drove, I happened to glance in the rearview mirror and saw Ding Yinuo standing in place, watching me.

There was something strange about his gaze.

In fact, I don’t know when it started, but the way Ding Yinuo looked at me was the same as how Gu Yuanzhou looked at me when he was deeply in love with me back in the old days.

How did it turn out this way?

When did my relationship with him start to change?

Half an hour later, I parked the car in the company’s underground parking lot.

Before I entered the company, I made a point to ask the security guard,

“Have there been any unusual incidents today?”

The security guard looked at me with confusion,

“Miss Song, do you mean something is supposed to happen?”

“Like, have any police dropped by?”

“No, there hasn’t been.”

“Great!”

I patted the security guard on the shoulder and entered the elevator.

Upon entering the company, I noticed that there were quite a few new faces around recently.

Did Gu Yuanzhou start recruiting again?

At this moment, it had been just under two months since the Golden Bay fire.

Had Gu Yuanzhou started purging the internal staff of Zhenyi?

To verify my suspicions, I went to the HR department under the pretense of researching and checked the personnel changes in the company.

There, to my shock, I found that the company had replaced staff in key management positions and technical backbones with fresh blood.

This included the finance supervisor, cashier, and team leaders of below-the-line departments.

Many long-serving employees that I had personally hired when the company was established had been replaced.

Seeing this, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Gu Yuanzhou, what on earth are you planning?

You know that Mrs. Gu is no longer in the world, so are these old subordinates of hers going to revolt?

Or are you guilty and attempting to conceal something?

“Miss Song, do you take issue with this?”

The HR director was looking at me, I took my finger off the employee form and curiously asked,

“Manager Liu, I noticed that our company has been laying off a lot of older employees recently. These old colleagues contributed a lot to the company…”

The HR director looked at me, shook his head,

“You make a good point, but this was President Gu’s decision.”

I paused for a moment, nodded, and left the HR department.

It was only then did I visit the President’s office.

Gu Yuanzhou was on the phone, seemingly speaking to someone named Ayu.

He was speaking softly, and I couldn’t hear anything.

He was very alert, hanging up the phone as soon as he heard my footsteps.

He turned and looked at me.

“Err, President Gu, you said that the bank security has come? What for?”

Gu Yuanzhou took a seat, “Are you stalking me?”

I instantly recalled our encounter at Shuang’an Bank during the day, but I couldn’t confess to this.

I thought for a moment and shook my head, “Not at all, what do you mean, President Gu?”

“If you weren’t stalking me, then what were you doing at Shuang’an Bank?”

“Oh… I want to buy a house, so I was collecting information about mortgage interest rates at various banks. I’ve been to every bank nearby, President Gu, how did you know?”

I was merely making things up on the spot. In fact, if Gu Yuanzhou asked me about the interest rate of the mortgages now, I wouldn’t be able to answer.

Because I never asked, naturally I didn’t know.

His question confirmed my suspicion, but he did not inquire further, instead, he asked,

“Are you not comfortable living at Maple Mansion? Why do you need to buy a house?”

“Everyone needs to have their own house, it gives a sense of belonging!”

I was just making small talk.

But he believed me. He then asked, “Are you thinking of getting married to him?”

I played along, “Yes! Marriage is every woman’s belonging. I also want to have my own home.”

Gu Yuanzhou took a glance at me, then took something out of the drawer and threw it at me.

“How did you manage to become so careless? This fell off and you didn’t even realize. The security guard made a special trip to bring it to you.”

I caught it and realized that it was my employee ID card…

Upon recalling, it must have been during my escape when the ID I stashed in my pocket fell out.

It was picked up by the Shuang’an bank security who ran after me for half a day, just to return this to me.

I let out a sigh of relief.

“President Gu, there’s something I don’t quite understand. Could I ask you about it?”

I knew the question I was about to ask was like poking at a hornet’s nest, but I couldn’t help but ask.

“Hmm, go ahead!”

He seemed calm.

“Well… I heard from other colleagues that a lot of our old employees were laid off. From the company’s standpoint, I think these old employees have made significant contributions…”

I was cut short by an impatient Gu Yuanzhou before I could finish.
