I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 291 Why does Madam look so foxy today?
Gu Yifan arrived at the company building.

I didn't see Ms. Qin's Audi sports car, so she probably hasn't arrived yet.

I bought a cup of coffee and a slice of buttered toast on the way, and then leisurely went upstairs.

It was the weekend, and it was past 10 a.m., not rush hour, yet no one was waiting for the elevator.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Gu Yifan had just entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 21st floor.

The elevator doors were not closed yet.

Please wait a moment.

A series of hurried high-heeled footsteps sounded, and a slender hand reached in from outside the elevator, trying to block it.

Gu Yifan had pressed the door open button before that.

The elevator doors opened again.

"Thank you."

Outside the door, Zhuge Dasheng, with his light makeup but somewhat haggard face, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked into the elevator with his head down.

She woke up late this morning, which is unusual for her.

On the way to take my daughter to her tutoring class, I got stuck in traffic again, and halfway there I received a phone call saying that a client needed to see me urgently, so I rushed over.

If you can't even wait for the elevator
Even Zhuge Dasheng (a famous sage) wondered if she should go to a temple to burn incense.

When Zhuge Dasheng pressed the elevator button, she noticed that the button for the 21st floor was lit up in red.

He was momentarily distracted.

She was very familiar with this floor because of that person's presence.

And he seems to be the reason for her recent mental exhaustion.

It's been at least half a month since I last saw Xiao Fan.

I wonder how he is now.
Zhuge Dasheng pondered, his expression somewhat dazed.

Just then, a magnetic voice reached her ears.

"Sister Great Sage? What a coincidence."

Zhuge Dasheng was startled, and stiffly turned his head.

In a corner of the elevator, a face she knew and missed suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"Yifan?"

For a moment, Zhuge Dasheng's heartbeat stopped, and he exclaimed in astonishment.

It seems she really needs to go to the temple.

Gu Yifan found it rather strange.

Hmm? Why does Lady Zhuge's expression seem a little off?

The elevator goes up.

Gu Yifan tilted his head to observe Zhuge Dasheng, whose expression seemed slightly unnatural.

I felt a little strange.

Why does Lady Zhuge look so haggard? What happened?
This month, Gu Yifan only met with Lawyer Dasheng twice, one of which was when he moved the animation company.

Gu Yifan even wondered if Zhuge Dasheng was deliberately avoiding him.

Seeing Zhuge Dasheng's slightly guilty expression, Gu Yifan took the initiative to break the silence and asked jokingly.

"Big Sister Sheng, have you been very busy lately?"

"Fortunately."

Upon hearing the voice beside her, Zhuge Dasheng's delicate body tensed up, and she subconsciously bit her lower lip.

Gu Yifan's familiar, magnetic voice, along with his unique, subtle scent, was stimulating her senses.

Calm down, calm down.
Zhuge Dasheng gritted his teeth, suppressing the strange sensation in his body, and added as if trying to cover it up.

"I am indeed quite busy."

Gu Yifan looked knowing and shrugged.

"No wonder, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you for more than half a month."

“I even went upstairs to look for you, but the receptionist said you left early.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Dasheng's heart skipped a beat again; she naturally knew about this matter.

And she deliberately pretended not to know and did not contact Gu Yifan.

"Oh, I see. She didn't tell me."

Zhuge Dasheng's tone was somewhat unnatural.

Before she finished speaking, her pupils contracted slightly.

The elevator space is cramped.

Gu Yifan took a step, closing the distance between the two.

He didn't feel anything was wrong, but Zhuge Dasheng's body trembled. He wanted to dodge, but there was no space.

"Big Sister Sheng, are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Yifan frowned and asked, noticing that Zhuge Dasheng's expression was somewhat unusual.

"You don't look too good. Is something wrong?"

Zhuge Dasheng's eyes struggled.

She told herself not to turn around, not to look at him, but her body still turned around involuntarily, as if it had escaped her control.

Zhuge Dasheng's heart raced as he faced the smiling Gu Yifan.

The bottom line I held dear in my heart began to crumble.

"No, it's nothing. I might just be a little carsick," Zhuge Dasheng said, lowering his head, his cheeks flushed and his eyelashes trembling slightly.

Her heart was racing as Gu Yifan hesitated before reaching out to hold her waist.

It rose suddenly, but then returned to calm.

"Oh, then lean on my shoulder and rest for a while," Gu Yifan winked at Zhuge Dasheng and said softly.

"Um"

Zhuge Dasheng's slightly haggard face was tinged with a shy blush, like that of a young girl.

Gu Yifan was taken aback.

The sky is falling!
Lady Zhuge's eyes and brows suddenly possessed an unprecedented charm and allure.

She's quite different from the previous wife.

Previously, Zhuge Liang had always been portrayed as dignified, elegant, gentle, and considerate.

Now, I see a married woman version of Su Weiwei in her?

Gu Yifan shivered. Something was wrong; something was definitely not right.

How did Madam change like this after a month?
There are, of course, reasons for Zhuge Liang's unusual behavior.

Just as Gu Yifan guessed.

Zhuge Dasheng is hiding from Gu Yifan.
Because she seems to be sick.

For more than a month now, Zhuge Dasheng has been dreaming every night about being alone with Gu Yifan.

It's not just a simple meeting.

The meeting locations and settings vary.

In the bedroom, in the study, in a hotel, or even in the office.
At the same time, whenever Zhuge Dasheng thinks of Gu Yifan, he always feels uneasy.

It wasn't because of the discomfort caused by illness.

Rather, it's that unease of longing for companionship and feeling empty inside.

She had a strange feeling.

I felt as if I had become a female fox filled with resentment.

It's the kind of female fox that whine and rolls around affectionately, and is in heat.

They desperately crave the touch of human hands, snuggling into their 'owner's' arms to cuddle and receive affection.

However, due to the prolonged separation from its owner, it gradually becomes increasingly sinister and anxious.

Zhuge Dasheng couldn't understand why she was acting this way all of a sudden. He even worried that she might have some kind of psychological problem and secretly consulted a psychologist.

But the psychologist couldn't understand her feelings; he simply asked her age and whether she had a husband or partner.

With a strange expression, I told her she could find a partner to release some of the pent-up stress.

Furthermore, one should face up to their own quirks and habits, as they are not necessarily diseases.
But Zhuge Liang knew.

The doctor's description wasn't her true condition, but there was no way to explain it.

To prevent the situation from worsening, Zhuge Dasheng restrained himself from meeting Gu Yifan, managing to maintain his composure even when he was barely able to.

But as time went by, she seemed to be thinking about Gu Yifan from morning till night.

Now that they've met, Zhuge Liang can clearly sense it.

She was moved.

The long periods of separation actually created a sense of suffocation.

A volcanic eruption could happen at any moment.
The slightly awkward atmosphere in the elevator at first vanished instantly.

Gu Yifan didn't know what had happened, but he could tell that Zhuge Dasheng seemed to be avoiding him.

The fleeting panic and nervousness in her eyes when she saw him were genuine.

And a sudden change in temperament.

What is going on?

Fortunately, when Gu Yifan boldly stepped forward and hugged Zhuge Dasheng, she did not push him away.

"Do you feel better?"

As the elevator ascended floor by floor, Gu Yifan gently patted Zhuge Dasheng's shoulder and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm." The complex emotions in Zhuge Dasheng's beautiful eyes disappeared, replaced by tranquility and gentleness.

Like a docile little animal, she turned her head and gazed intently at Gu Yifan's face.

The sense of déjà vu about Su Huli became even stronger, Gu Yifan thought to himself.

"Thanks."

"No need to thank me." Gu Yifan smiled, took the initiative to push back a little, and helped Zhuge Dasheng steady.

“Sister Dasheng, if you have any troubles, you can tell me anytime.”

Zhuge Dasheng nodded gratefully.

Gu Yifan didn't ask any further questions.

Zhuge Dasheng had the idea of ​​confiding in Gu Yifan.

She realized that simply suppressing and restraining her feelings would not ultimately solve the problems she was experiencing.

Perhaps the psychologist is right?
"it is good."

The elevator slowly came to a stop on the twenty-first floor.

Zhuge Dasheng hesitated for a moment, then offered, "I'll come to your office to find you later."

"Okay then." Gu Yifan blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

They then walked out through the open elevator doors.

Qin Yumo will be here soon, right?
Never mind, there shouldn't be any problem, since they know each other anyway.

With this in mind, Gu Yifan did not refuse.

The elevator door closes.

Zhuge Dasheng closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time recalled her passionate appearance just now, his pretty face couldn't help but blush.

At the same time, a hint of complexity appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Gu Yifan relieved her agitated mood, which proves one thing.

Her heart had already fallen deeply for this young man.

As she pondered, Zhuge Dasheng's pretty face flushed more and more deeply, just as she brought her beautiful legs together.

Ding.

The elevator arrived at the 22nd floor, and the doors opened.

Zhuge Dasheng's spirits lifted. He patted his soft cheeks with his delicate hand, adjusted his mindset, and then walked out again.

Gu Yifan walked into the company.

Most employees rest on weekends, but a few work overtime and receive overtime pay.

Gu Yifan was still pondering what had happened to Madam Zhuge.

Her shy expression just now reminded Gu Yifan of another scene.

Inside the BMW Mini, Su Fox, having confessed her feelings, straddled his lap with her slightly wavy hair flowing freely.

She looked at him with her fox-like eyes and a shy expression.

I wonder how Su Fox is doing lately.

Gu Yifan felt somewhat guilty. He had promised to adopt this 'fox', but hadn't cared about her for so long.

We agreed to treat everyone equally, but we were too busy to take care of everyone.

This is really frustrating.

"System, could you create a time-twister or something like the one in Harry Potter?"

Gu Yifan was filled with anticipation.

Those who toy with time will ultimately be rejected by time.

The system replied with a very philosophical statement.

Gu Yifan curled his lip and said, "Tch, if you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you trying to scare me?"

Just thinking about it.

Gu Yifan didn't notice.

Across the corridor, Du Jun, the senior disciple, walked out of his office. He had been busy with business trips recently and hadn't appeared for a long time.

Gu Yifan didn't see Du Jun, but Du Jun spotted him immediately.

The next second, flames suddenly shot out from Du Jun's eyes.

Since the company was founded, Gu Yifan has been a hands-off manager.

All kinds of work were assigned to him.

They even dumped all the business trip assignments on Du Jun, euphemistically calling it "the capable should do more."

Du Jun was able to persevere at first, but after running around for more than half a month, he could hardly keep going. Even a mule isn't used like this.

He just wanted to die together with the 'dog boss'.

He finally caught him!

Du Jun's eyes blazed with fury as he strode toward Gu Yifan, coughing forcefully twice.

"Cough cough!"

"Ok?"

Gu Yifan seemed to sense a great resentment in his mind, just as he wondered why his right eyelid suddenly twitched a few times.

I heard coughing ahead.

Gu Yifan looked up.

But then he saw Du Jun's dark, old face staring intently at him with wide eyes.

Wait a minute. The senior brother he used as a mule is back?

Why didn't anyone tell him to hide?

These parasites who only care about getting paid and never share the boss's burdens! Damn them!

Gu Yifan was shocked.

"Yo, Senior Brother?"

A few seconds of awkward silence passed.

Gu Yifan spoke first, smiling, "Back from your business trip? How was it? How did it go?"

After hearing this, Du Jun felt like punching Gu Yifan.

He's been traveling a lot, and when he finally comes back, the first thing he says is about work?

"Hmph, not bad." Du Jun blocked Gu Yifan's path, looking at the unscrupulous boss with a dark face.

He wants to protest! He wants to strike!
Gu Yifan felt somewhat guilty.

The eldest brother has been incredibly busy lately, but there's nothing he can do about it; the eldest brother is his right-hand man.

Without his senior brother, Gu Yifan really couldn't find many capable and trustworthy people under his command.

"Put that work aside for now. Senior Brother, you've been away on business for so long, you haven't had a break, have you?"

"How about I give you two days off?"

Gu Yifan feigned concern, speaking while simultaneously shifting his foot to the side.

He wanted to get past the senior brother who had finally caught someone and was about to interrogate him.

Du Jun almost laughed out of anger.

He's been away on business for so long, and he only gets two days off? That's like treating a beggar like that.

Du Jun took another step, looking at Gu Yifan with an unfriendly gaze.

"Hey, I was just kidding. Three days, how about a week?"

Gu Yifan gave a dry laugh.

He finally understood what it felt like when the company's top salesperson came back, threw a tantrum, and the boss had to appease them.

He then put on a friendly smile and patted Du Jun on the shoulder.

"Really a week?" Du Jun was taken aback, looking on with suspicion.

Is Gu Yifan really that good?
Du Jun didn't believe it. It wasn't that the company couldn't function without him, but he was the only one who could go out and negotiate cooperation.

"Really." Gu Yifan nodded.

Du Jun has almost finished negotiating with major domestic publishers and has already signed cooperation agreements with three of them.

The manga volumes have been printed and are ready for release.

In addition, Du Jun doesn't need to worry about the animation team.

A week's rest is perfectly fine; otherwise, Gu Yifan is afraid that Du Jun will drag him down with him.

Take advantage of the opportunity.

Gu Yifan bypassed his senior brother and quickened his pace toward the office.

But Du Jun wasn't so easily fooled. He followed closely behind Gu Yifan and chased him to the office.

He seemed determined to stay unless he received some benefits.

"Senior Brother, is there anything else?" Gu Yifan was secretly pleased and stopped to ask.

"Of course!"

Du Jun walked into Gu Yifan's office, stood there, and said expressionlessly.

"I've been away on a business trip for so long, and I haven't seen my son for a week now."

Du Jun's quiet tone prompted Gu Yifan.

"The nanny said the child misses me a lot. As a father, how can I not give my child the love and companionship he deserves!"

"So, I don't think I'm suited for this job."

Gu Yifan quickly interrupted Du Jun, smiling broadly.

"Suitable? How could it not be suitable?"

"Come, come, senior brother, sit down and talk."

Du Jun sat down in a huff.

Gu Yifan had long since figured out Du Jun's temperament; like Guan Gu, he was stubborn as a mule and had to be appeased.

He smiled at Du Jun and then turned around and sat down in the office chair.

Gu Yifan clasped his hands together, propped his elbows on the table, and stared intently at Du Jun.

silence.

Du Jun glanced at Gu Yifan several times, but seeing him just smiling, he didn't say a word.

No, say something!

Du Jun's resignation was definitely just an angry outburst. The work and various subsidies he received in the past two months were more than he had earned in the previous two years.

Du Jun had been away on a business trip for so long last month and his payslip hadn't arrived yet, but after a rough calculation, he figured he could get at least a 50% raise.

With such treatment, who would be willing to leave?

But it is indeed tiring. He has worked hard for the company and made great contributions. Can't he vent his frustrations a little?

Seeing that Gu Yifan remained silent, Du Jun steeled his heart and silently stood up again, "Regarding resignation."

These words seemed to have flipped a switch for Gu Yifan. He blinked and said, "Hey, Senior Brother, don't joke around. I have a surprise prepared for you."

Du Jun looked at Gu Yifan, and seeing Gu Yifan's sincere expression, he slowly sat down.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Yifan remained silent, just smiling at him.

Du Jun's forehead veins throbbed violently.

You bastard, are you trying to play me, Du? My sword is never ineffective!
Du Jun silently got up again.

"Senior Brother, please sit down, please sit down," Gu Yifan said, as if pressing a switch.

Du Jun wasn't fooled and stood there silently.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan shrugged, opened a drawer on one side, and immediately attracted Du Jun's burning gaze.

Based on Gu Yifan's words, a series of 'surprises' flashed through Du Jun's mind.

There's definitely no house, but a car is a possibility; the Panamera parked downstairs would be nice.

But what Du Jun wants most is a wife!

His goal was also to get Gu Yifan to introduce him to a girlfriend.

Just as Du Jun was eagerly waiting, Gu Yifan handed him a thin piece of paper.

"What surprise is this?"

Du Jun hesitated for a second, but still didn't pretend to be reserved and took it.

As a result, his face gradually stiffened.

It wasn't a car, nor a house, but rather a sheet of paper.
"Resignation form?"

Du Jun was struck dumb, and read it in disbelief, then looked at Gu Yifan, who had an innocent expression.

His expressionless face finally broke down.

Trembling, spitting blood! Du Jun raised his finger shakily towards Gu Yifan.

"you you you!"

Gu Yifan blinked, wanting to see what his senior brother would do.

Unexpectedly, Du Jun's expression changed several times.

at last.
"President Gu, boss~ I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, considering I have elderly parents and young children to support, and the many contributions I've made to the company."

Lightning-speed knee slide, is that even possible?

Just as Du Jun was crying and wailing, Gu Yifan finally couldn't help but laugh.

He pulled out the real contract from the open drawer and handed it to Du Jun, who was wiping away tears.

"I took the wrong one just now, this is the right one, senior brother, please take a look."

Du Jun secretly wiped away his tears and breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Gu Yifan wasn't the type to discard someone after they'd served their purpose.

The result was a thick stack of contracts, compared to a thin piece of paper in my hand.

How could you possibly have picked up the wrong one? Who are you trying to fool?

Du Jun dared not speak out in anger, but when he took the contract and looked at it, he was struck dumb as if by lightning.

His eyes were filled with disbelief once again.

It's all because of that one line of text: "Share Incentive Agreement".

Du Jun's mouth grew so big that it could swallow a light bulb.

Gu Yifan remained calm and smiled, "How about it, Senior Brother? Are you surprised?"
