Chapter 71 68.July

In the scorching summer, cicadas chattered outside the window, and they didn't want to be quiet for even a moment until the evening.

Knock knock!

There was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Please come in." The man stopped typing on the keyboard.

"Assistant Gu!" A young woman in a light blue casual suit leaned half out of the crack in the door and waved to him.

"Siqian? My express delivery?" Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it's an international express delivery." Chen Siqian glanced at the words on the express delivery note and frowned, "The place of origin seems to be Seoul?"

"That should be mine," Gu Heng stood up and took the small package from her hand, "Thank you."

"You're welcome~"

Gu Heng subconsciously glanced at the name of the consignor and was slightly startled.

After coming back to his senses, he smiled at Chen Siqian and said, "It's getting late. You should get off work quickly. Don't delay."

"Oh okay, so are you, Assistant Gu."

Holding back her curiosity, Chen Siqian waved to Gu Heng and stepped out of the door.

"Hunting" always requires patience, and she considers herself to be a good enough "hunter".

Compared to those who were still making Assistant Gu emoticons in the company's employee group, she and Gu Heng were at least colleagues with a good relationship.

"If you meet someone in the elevator in the morning and say hello, your favorability level will be +1."

"Put a bag of snacks in the tea room, and your favorability will be +1, or +2."

"Help collect the express delivery once, favorability +1"

When it exceeds 200, you can make further individual meal appointments.

Chen Siqian closed the door of Gu Heng's office and ended a day with good progress in a happy mood.

In the office.

While Gu Heng looked at the name on the express delivery slip, he took out a utility knife from the cabinet next to his seat.

"lim?"

Without opening the package immediately, he took a photo and sent it to a contact.

Of course, it's not Lin Zhixun

【Gu Heng】:Photo.jpg

[Gu Heng]: Did you send this express?

Ah beep!

The reply came soon.

【yoona】:guess~

After replying with a series of ellipses, Gu Heng directly opened the small package.

According to his understanding of Miss Lin Yuner, these two simple words contained multiple rich meanings such as "Yes, I sent it to you", "Come and compliment me if you are surprised", etc.

At this time, it had been more than a month since he left Seoul and returned to China.

Although they haven't spoken to each other even once, compared to the period before they parted ways, the relationship between the two suddenly became closer during this period.

Lin Yoona seemed to have forgotten that strange awkwardness and the sudden hug.

Gu Heng didn't know how to accurately define the vague relationship between the two at the moment, but at least, neither he nor Lin Yuner disliked this kind of relationship.

It's a bit like Lin Yoona before she had the quarrel, but there seems to be some subtle differences.

The tip of the knife fell on the surface of the express package, easily scratching it, revealing what was carefully wrapped inside.

——A photo and a photo frame.

In the photo, Lin Yoona is holding her chin with one hand, tilting her head and looking at a small wooden sculpture on the table, frowning and pretending to be disgusted.

"Lin Yuner, you." Gu Heng laughed dumbly.

Ah beep! Ah beep!

Before he could say anything, a certain "evil person" brazenly sent him a message.

【yoona】:Have you taken it apart?

【yoona】:Do you like this gift?

Gu Heng looked at the girl in the photo who was obviously pretending to be disgusted, but her eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of Gu Heng's mouth turned up.

[Gu Heng]: Well, not bad

[Gu Heng]: The expression is a bit ugly, but there should still be fans willing to buy it. I will check the price on the second-hand website tonight.

【yoona】:Yeah! Gu Heng!

【yoona】: Knife sharpening.jpg

[Gu Heng]: If you don’t sell it, what do you want me to do with it?

【yoona】: I obviously gave you a photo frame too!

[Gu Heng]: That narcissistic girl Zhien sends me her photos from time to time, which is just what I need.

【yoona】: Send me the photo!!!

Lin Yoona used three exclamation points in a row to express her anger.

Gu Heng chuckled lightly.

Putting down the phone temporarily, he carefully put the photo into the frame.

After adjusting the angle of the stand behind him, he placed it on the corner of his desk, alongside another photo frame containing a photo of him, Lee Ji-eun and Lee Jong-hoon.

He raised his phone to take a photo and sent it to Lin Yuner.

The chat box was filled with dozens of angry emoticons sent by her in succession.

It wasn't until the photo was successfully sent that Lin Yoona's "venting" stopped.

[Gu Heng]: OK?

【yoona】: Well, it’s okay

[Gu Heng]: Well, it’s reasonable to put three worrying guys together.

【yoona】:??????

Putting the frustrated Lin Yoona aside for the time being, Gu Heng concentrated on finishing the last bit of work at hand.

During the period after returning to China, Gu Heng still temporarily served as a special assistant under Liu Chen.

Within Jingsheng, as the executive vice president, Liu Chen handles complex and diverse tasks. By following him, he can become familiar with the entire Jingsheng structure and business as quickly as possible.

At the last moment before six o'clock, Gu Heng clicked to send the last meeting arrangement email.

Stretching, he stood up from the office chair.

July is the time of year when the days are long. Although it is already six o'clock in the evening, there is still light outside the window.

After stretching his muscles a little, Gu Heng packed up his things and left the company.

Gu Changzhi's flight is this morning, and he should be at home by now.

Driving home.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Heng parked his car in a slightly older community and went up to the seventh floor.

After hesitating in front of the door, Gu Heng opened the door.

They, father and son, live in this two-bedroom apartment which is not very spacious.

Gu Changzhi lived here when he brought him back from Seoul seven years ago, and it has not changed since then.

After changing his shoes, Gu Heng entered the living room.

There was no one in the living room, but there were a few tulips in front of the photo of Gu Heng's mother on the cabinet.

Gu Heng knew that this was his habit.

Perhaps hearing the sound of his door opening, a middle-aged man's voice came from the kitchen.

"came back?"

"Well, I'm back."

After silently looking at the woman with a gentle smile in the photo for a while, Gu Heng responded with a moderate response and entered the kitchen.

The middle-aged man in the kitchen is about fifty years old. His appearance is similar to Gu Heng's, but a little more rugged.

Of course, this rugged masculinity has been offset by the pink apron he is wearing.
