Mu Yiliang seemed to finally come back to her senses.
"...A backing?"
"The board didn't agree to let Gu Qingyuan join the company, so Mr. Gu sought help from Yan Sijue," Ms. Zhao whispered to Mu Yiliang about this gossip. "Later, Gu Qingyuan started flattering Yan Sijue in every possible way... Isn't it said that Yan Sijue despises such people, so how could he allow Gu Qingyuan to get close to him?"
Sure enough, beside Yan Sijue, there was a young man with a face full of flattery, whose features vaguely resembled Gu Qingqian's.
However, such an expression would never be seen on Gu Qingqian's face.
Gu Qingyuan was saying something diligently, but Yan Sijue seemed not to hear a thing. Then Gu Qingyuan handed over a document, which Yan Sijue casually glanced through, his face remaining expressionless.
The man seemed even more aloof, cold to the bone, as if... it was not only his surroundings covered with ice and snow but the man himself was frozen by it.
