It's just The Sims, how did it become my ideal love story?

Chapter 77 Crawling Forward!

"I'm going to smoke again. Didn't you hear the homeroom teacher call me to the office later? I've lost all interest in smoking."

Gu Huai frowned again. He didn't think this was a good omen. Did the homeroom teacher call you to the office with a stern face to praise you? At least Cai Yan wouldn't call her own parents.

Old Lin nodded slightly. "You know what, Team Leader Cai's demeanor is quite like a homeroom teacher, no, more like a grade-level leader. But don't worry, she values ​​you. Otherwise, why wouldn't she send someone else? Look, who in our group spends more time alone with her in the office than you?"

Gu Huai replied irritably, "Don't talk nonsense. We were just talking about work. How did it turn into us being alone together?"

"Hehe, it's because you're all about the same age, and Team Leader Cai is so beautiful and has such a great presence. I don't believe you don't have any ideas."

Any ideas?
Indeed, who wouldn't have thoughts about a woman like Cai Yan? Moreover, as the simulation progressed, more and more images of her appeared in his world, and the impression became increasingly profound.

It's best not to have expectations for things that shouldn't be hoped for, lest you be unable to withstand the disappointment of falling off a cliff.

"Alright, stop spreading this around in the group, go check in now."

After the two entered the company and clocked in, Gu Huai simply placed his coat on the chair and immediately went to the other person's office.

"Come in."

A voice came from inside after I knocked on the door.

Gu Huai pushed open the door and entered.

Cai Yan, behind her desk, appeared to be on the phone.

"Well, that's why I wanted to talk to you. If it's convenient, I think it would be better to talk in person. Would it be possible for you to come over for a visit today?"

Gu Huai didn't know who the other person was talking to or what they were saying, but he didn't disturb them and stood quietly to the side.

Looking at the other person's slender, fair wrist.

The simulated bracelet didn't appear on the recipient, which was normal. After all, it was just a cheap bracelet, seemingly unworthy of her status.

Now, with such outstanding temperament and appearance, the woman has undergone a complete transformation compared to high school. Perhaps she has long forgotten the gift that made her smile when she first received it.

I was initially thinking of asking if they still had the bracelet, but now I think it's not so important. Some things are fine as memories; their meaning was perhaps already fulfilled the moment they were given away. There's no need to ask for more.

"Okay. I'll let you know later."

Cai Yan, who had just finished making the call, happened to see Gu Huai staring at her in a daze.

She awkwardly reached up and touched her temple, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Huai then came to his senses and immediately adjusted his gaze.

"Oh, it's nothing. What can I do for you, Team Leader Cai?"

Cai Yan didn't seem to intend to ask any further questions. In the workplace, she always seemed to be a clean and efficient woman.

"Is it the same old issue, with absolutely no progress?"

Gu Huai shook his head. "It's not that we don't have any options at all. We still have a few backup plans. Do you want to take a look at the list? These are a few streamers whose cost-effectiveness is acceptable and who are relatively reliable. We've also communicated with them beforehand and they have expressed their intention to cooperate."

"show me."

"it is good."

Gu Huai sent the list directly to the other party from his phone.

Cai Yan sat down and began to look at the book carefully. As she looked, she seemed to become so engrossed in her work that she forgot about Gu Huai's presence, and her legs naturally crossed and slightly raised.

From this angle, Gu Huai could clearly see the other person's legs encased in black stockings, and the flesh color faintly revealed through the stockings made it hard to suppress the desire to explore further.

"Does it look good?"

"Something there. Hmm?"

Gu Huai thought his gaze wasn't that obvious, but he realized that the other person had easily noticed it.

He immediately looked away and coughed twice, "I...I was spacing out."

As if on purpose, Cai Yan deliberately switched her right leg over her left in front of Gu Huai. What was she doing? Was she shooting a stockings commercial?

"You know what you're spying on, it's disgusting."

Cai Yan glared at Gu Huai with disdain, but Gu Huai didn't feel ashamed at all; on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it.

You only wore black stockings because you thought they looked good on you, right? So what's wrong with taking a look?

“I did look, but I didn’t peek, Team Leader Cai.”

"Oh, you're talking back now?" "I just don't want Team Leader Cai to misunderstand me. I'm still quite upright."

"I know you very well."

Cai Yan's gaze this time seemed to have a deeper meaning, which made Gu Huai feel a little guilty.

What is she really like in her memory? Is it more the present version of herself, or more the Gu Huai from before?
However, it doesn't seem like the time to dwell on these things. Cai Yan picked up her water glass, took a small sip, and then said.

"I've looked at the list. It's certainly enough to get the job done, but is just getting by all you want?"

After working for several years, Gu Huai had accumulated a lot of experience. For example, many things at work are like going to school. The tasks assigned to you are like homework. In most cases, it's already good enough if you can handle them.

After all, the boss's basic requirement for you is just not to mess things up. Whether you can do well and surprise people is another matter, and not every employee can do that. Besides, even if you do, there is no guarantee of a good result.

This is why tamed cattle and horses gradually learned to fish by catching fish.

For some reason, Cai Yan clearly had different expectations of herself.

But this time Gu Huai can say with a clear conscience, "I have been studying this list for several days, and this is the best I can do."

He certainly didn't just go through the motions this time, but what could he do when the conditions were what they were? Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

"So you'll be coming out with me this afternoon."

"Hmm? Where to?"

"There's an MCN company in the provincial capital that has cultivated many internet celebrities, including top livestreamers. Let's see if there are any other ways to collaborate."

Gu Huai blinked and looked at Cai Yan, "Team Leader Cai, you have such connections? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Cai Yan rolled her eyes at Gu Huai, annoyed. "Do you think connections are easy to find? You're not the team leader, are you? You're making it sound so easy."

"Then let's switch?"

"Say it again."

"I was just kidding."

Gu Huai shrugged.

Cai Yan clicked her tongue, then crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair to scrutinize Gu Huai.

"Gu Huai."

"Team Leader Cai, please give your instructions."

Gu Huai looked at the other person honestly.

Although Cai Yan has changed a lot, Gu Huai still keenly sensed that this was a sign that she was about to make a move against him.

Gu Huai's approach was to retreat when the enemy advanced and never engage in direct confrontation.

Have I been good to you lately?

That's a question.
"Of course, Team Leader Cai is too good to me."

Salaries have gone up, what else is there to say? I'd give you my life, that's all.

"So being too good to you has made you so arrogant, and now you talk to me so casually?"

Gu Huai immediately stood up straight, his expression serious and earnest.

"It was my fault, Team Leader Cai. I will be more careful in the future."

"Hmm, this looks more like it."

She seemed quite satisfied with Gu Huai's posture at this moment, like a guard on duty.

Gu Huai blinked. "Should we salute?"

Cai Yan narrowed her eyes, revealing a slightly cruel smile.

"Or will you have to crawl on your hands and knees to come to my office from now on?"

"."

How petty.
