You Have the Right to Keep a Secret Love

Chapter 40: Qi Xi's head was overheated, and her limbs felt weak...

Although Qi Xi understood that Gu Yan's words were probably more from Gu Xuehan's perspective, not wanting the newly trained personnel to leave, there might also be considerations from his own standpoint. After all, Qi Xi and him had a great synergy, and if there were new team members, Gu Yan would inevitably need to adapt and the cost-effectiveness and efficiency wouldn't be high.

However, when he told her not to leave, Qi Xi couldn't help but feel a flutter of weakness in her heart, followed by remorse, sadness, and hesitation.

After Gu Yan left, Qi Xi opened the bag of medicine he had brought and planned to categorize and organize them. The sense of sadness and hesitation grew stronger.

On each box of medicine, there were Gu Yan's notes. He had bought sticky notes and clearly wrote down the indications, efficacy, dosage instructions, and frequency of intake for each box.

His handwriting was very neat, with a cold and sharp stroke, but it was written very meticulously, not at all sloppy. Qi Xi could almost imagine how serious he was when he wrote these things stroke by stroke.

Gu Yan brought nearly sixteen kinds of medicines in total, and he also wrote sixteen sticky notes. The total number of words written was probably equivalent to a simple prosecution statement. Such handwriting really took a lot of time, and it showed the seriousness of the person writing, making it impossible for Gu Yan to claim that it was just a side task.

Being cared for and concerned by someone is naturally a good thing, but Qi Xi hoped that this kind of care and concern would not happen again.

Gu Yan's kindness and underlying tenderness might be the same for everyone, and he might even falsely claim that it was just a casual effort to avoid burdening others psychologically. But Qi Xi was perhaps the weakest among all, always unable to resist indulging involuntarily.

She had a restless night's sleep and went to work at the office the next day with a heavy heart. Just when she was still pondering whether to resign after obtaining her lawyer's license, the Director of the Administration Department came to the main office area to announce some news.

"Our firm has achieved a new record in revenue this year. In order to boost morale, we will have a golden egg smashing activity during the lunch break meeting today. The winning rate is 100%. It can be considered as a benefit for everyone in the firm without wasting anyone's time or forcing everyone to go on an outing. It aligns well with the principles of our firm. This activity will be conducted by teams, and each team will send one person to smash the egg!"

Qi Xi was stunned, and she looked at Gu Yan in a daze.

Gu Yan had an expression of "I told you so," very calm and composed. He rarely showed such initiative in such activities and said, "I'll go smash the egg on behalf of our team."

After he finished speaking, he added, "Anyway, it's a 100% winning rate." This man cleared his throat, "And I've always had good luck."

Perhaps to prove his good luck, Gu Yan began listing all the prizes he had won from kindergarten to university.

Qi Xi knew that some people had a special love for lottery draws because they brought excitement and anticipation. She didn't have any particular attachment to lotteries, but Gu Yan seemed very eager to go, so she went along with the proposal for Gu Yan to represent the team in the draw.

Although the sudden appearance of this benefit made it even more difficult for Qi Xi to bring up her job change, she still had expectations for the lottery itself.

"The administration department said that the prizes this time are very generous, including Apple and Huawei computers and phone sets, as well as bedding sets and electrical appliance sets. Most of them are practical and not cheap." Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan, clasping her hands together. "Since you have such good luck, can you draw a computer for me?"
