The next early morning, as Gu Qing Pei carried his laptop bag and went downstairs, Yuan Yang was already waiting for him ahead of time. It was such a cold day and instead of sitting inside the car, Yuan Yang stood beside car door, playing with his phone.

Seeing Gu Qing Pei coming over, Yuan Yang showed an ambiguous smile, "Morning, Director Gu. Is your body feeling better?"

Gu Qing Pei chuckled lightly, "I couldn't feel better. Well, you seem to be very popular. Your phone doesn't leave your hand at all."

Yuan Yang sarcastically said, "Oh, I can only use it to play games. Didn't you know that I have no money to pay the bill? So this phone can only accept calls, but I cannot use it to call other people. Does Director Gu feel happy by hearing this news early in the morning?"

"Not bad." Gu Qing Pei's eyes narrowed into a grin as he opened the car door and got inside, "You don't need to worry, we've worked in the company for a month and the salary will be paid tomorrow. After you get the salary, buy two thicker clothes for yourself. Winter is coming soon. If you fall sick, Chairman Yuan will get worried over you."

Yuan Yang stuffed the phone inside his pocket while rubbing his hands together, "Well, it's a bit cold, but I'm not afraid of the cold. After I received my salary, I think I'd better buy medicine for Director Gu. Is that anti-inflammatory medicine useful? What's the name of the product? Do you still remember it?"

Gu Qing Pei slightly pushed his glasses up, hiding his emotions behind the lenses, "It's rare for you to be this thoughtful. I will check it when I get back home."

The atmosphere inside the car could be described as mutual hostility. Both men kept throwing satirizing remarks towards the other, sentence by sentence. None of them was willing to hold back and give the other the slightest advantage.

After both of them reached the company and had their breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock. Zhang Xia then brought in a thirty-year-old woman who appeared to be qualified. Anyone would know at the first glance that this woman was smart and capable.

In order to enter the director's office, employees had to pass through the secretarial office which was in front of Yuan Yang's desk. When both women entered the office, Yuan Yang was already staring at them.

Zhang Xia explained, "This is Director Gu's guest."

Yuan Yang started guessing whether this woman was the one that Gu Qing Pei called that time.

Zhang Xia knocked on the door and Gu Qing Pei opened the door from inside. Once he saw the woman, he then joked in a friendly manner, "Oh my beauty, I've been looking forward to your arrival."

That woman smiled and said, "I'm terribly sorry. I should have arrived at eight thirty, but there was a slight traffic jam on the road."
