Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 626 - 627: Xiao Tianyu's Identity

"Isn't that Gu Yunxi, the daughter of Ruan Lingyu? How did she end up at the entrance of Dragon Emperor Garden? Did she latch onto another wealthy man after her company went bankrupt?" After Gu Yunxi's car left Dragon Emperor Garden, a middle-aged lady appeared at the entrance.

This woman was none other than Ruan Lingyu's good friend, Chen Mei.

Chen Mei was one of the many wealthy women who loved to compete with Ruan Lingyu.

On the road, Gu Yunxi was still puzzled, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where exactly are you going?"

"You'll know when we get there," Xiao Tianyu responded casually.

"..." Gu Yunxi was speechless. What's so interesting about being all mysterious? So she said, "If you don't tell me, I'll jump out of the car!"

Vroom~

Her response was the roar of the accelerator. Suddenly, the sports car's speed shot up to 320 km/h, causing Gu Yunxi to lean back with a look of terror on her face, "You jerk, slow down... can you slow down... I... I promise I won't jump, really, I'm not lying... Why do you keep going faster the more I talk?"

"Feel free to jump out; I'm not stopping you!" Xiao Tianyu responded earnestly.

"..." Gu Yunxi wanted to curse this jerk who was blatantly retaliating. Does he really think I won't dare to jump?

The sports car was a convertible, so Gu Yunxi stood up, posing as if she was going to jump.

But when she looked at the quickly disappearing road, she gulped. It's really fast.

"Go ahead and jump!" Xiao Tianyu said.

"Hmph~ I'm not that stupid!" Gu Yunxi shot him a glare, "The more you want me to jump, the less I'll do as you wish!"

With that, Gu Yunxi sat back down, fastened her seatbelt, and Xiao Tianyu gave her a sidelong glance before closing the convertible top. The sports car continued weaving through the roads at 320 km/h.

...

Fengzhou City, Celestial Universe International Headquarters.

A white sports coupe drove in. After parking, Xiao Tianyu gently opened the car door for Gu Yunxi like a gentleman, "Let's get off!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi glanced at the Celestial Universe International Headquarters with her beautiful eyes, showing unprecedented shock in her expression, "You... you aren't seriously thinking of finding me a job here, are you? But... but they aren't hiring!"

"Quit the chatter!" Xiao Tianyu said lightly.

With that, Xiao Tianyu walked towards the headquarters of Celestial Universe International. The hundreds-of-floors-tall skyscraper was strikingly eye-catching. Gu Yunxi followed Xiao Tianyu in her high heels, wondering if this guy was really a legendary figure of Celestial Universe International.

"During working hours, no outsiders are allowed in!" The security guard at the entrance immediately stopped Xiao Tianyu. Xiao flicked a badge to the guard, who caught it, scanned it with his eyes, and nearly collapsed in shock.

My gosh, what mistake did I just make? Did I actually dare to stop the president?

Xiao Tianyu paid no mind to the shock in the guard's eyes and proceeded inside with Gu Yunxi.

"Hey, what did you just give that security guard? It scared him pale!"

"Access pass!" Xiao Tianyu replied briefly.

"Access pass?" Gu Yunxi was skeptical, convinced that a simple pass could terrify a guard this much. No way, it's got to be a joke.

"You talk too much!" Xiao Tianyu said.

Quickly, Xiao Tianyu entered an exclusive elevator and directly pressed the button for the 100th floor.

Ding~

Soon, the elevator doors opened.

The hundredth floor was the core of power in Celestial Universe International, the president's office.

Xiao Tianyu took Gu Yunxi to the office's entrance. Xiao casually punched in the access code, and with a click, the door opened. As soon as Xiao entered, everything in the office turned on automatically.

Thump~

Thump~

Witnessing this, Gu Yunxi's heart nearly jumped out of her throat. How could she still not know Xiao Tianyu's identity at this point?

This... this guy is really the head of Celestial Universe International?

This...

Even though Gu Yunxi had vaguely guessed Xiao Tianyu's identity before, truly witnessing him enter the president's office had a strong impact on her. It turns out I really did latch onto a rich guy.

"Who said she had no connection to the finance conference?" At this moment, the words Xiao Tianyu once said at Gu Corporation echoed in Gu Yunxi's mind. Was this guy planning to let me represent Celestial Universe at the finance conference?

"President!" At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared on a nanotechnology screen in the office. Xiao Tianyu spoke to the screen, "Arrange an emergency meeting for me!"

"Okay!" With those words, the figure vanished from the screen.

Even the high-end technology was something Gu Yunxi had never seen before. She gazed at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Are you really the president of Celestial Universe?"

"Don't I look like it?"

In response, Gu Yunxi looked Xiao Tianyu up and down, "Not really!"

This guy dressed so plainly, and apart from being handsome, he didn't quite look like a legendary figure.

"Do you think everyone looks like you, always wearing that Ice Seal demeanor?" Xiao Tianyu eyed Gu Yunxi.

"Alright!" Gu Yunxi nodded. The facts were right in front of her, leaving her no room to doubt. She continued, "Since you're hiring me, shouldn't we discuss salary? You know, maintaining that villa you gifted me at the very least costs 100 million a year, so the salary can't be less than 100 million!"

This guy is so rich; she thought secretly, no harm in taking advantage where she could.

"100 million?" Xiao Tianyu gave Gu Yunxi an enigmatic glance, making her pause. Would he refuse?

Hence, Gu Yunxi fluttered her eyes and said, "Uh, Tianyu, how about we negotiate further. 90 million works too. No, 80 million a year would be acceptable!"

"..." Xiao Tianyu did not respond.

Gu Yunxi was taken aback, "How about 70 million annually?"

"..." Xiao Tianyu remained silent.

"60 million, 60 million... that's the absolute minimum. After all, I am a talent!"

"..." Xiao Tianyu still said nothing.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi was confused. What did his silence mean? Was 60 million still too much? Goodness, why was he so stingy? With assets in the billions, does he care about this small amount?

After silently berating him, Gu Yunxi said, "50 million, absolute lowest it can go!"

"Deal!" Xiao Tianyu finally spoke.

Clunk~

Gu Yunxi almost lost her footing and fell, while Xiao Tianyu said, "No need to be so excited, just sign it!"

With that, Xiao Tianyu tossed a document in front of Gu Yunxi. She opened it and was immediately stunned—Director of Administration? This guy intended to appoint me as Director of Administration?

Director of Administration, second only to the president.

Which means in the Fengzhou City Celestial Universe Headquarters, when Xiao Tianyu is away, Gu Yunxi will be fully in charge here.

Of course, Xiao Tianyu wouldn't casually appoint Gu Yunxi as Director of Administration. After all, Gu Yunxi had experience as a president before, making her extremely suitable for the Director of Administration role.
