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

Chapter 99: The Hope of the Whole Team! (Please vote!)

Gu Huai had no idea how much he had done that day.

Data analysis, screening of products to be listed, summarizing inventory and sales, and tomorrow's plans—by the time he handed Cai Yan the plan table with its arranged data and detailed information, it was almost the end of the workday.

"It's only now that it's finished? Minister Qian doesn't even know if the person has left yet."

Cai Yan glanced at the form she received and then unplugged her laptop's charging cable.

Having barely rested all day, Gu Huai, who immediately resumed work after lunch, glared at the other person with annoyance.

"You seem to have it easy, sitting in an air-conditioned office."

Cai Yan glanced at Gu Huai and couldn't help but want to laugh.

I don't know why, but seeing him busy and suffering like this, I felt a little smug.
"What, isn't there air conditioning outside?"

"Is it about the air conditioner?! I did all the work, what did you do? We agreed to work together!"

Cai Yan finally couldn't help but laugh. "What? It's not like I haven't done anything. Do you think I was idle while you were busy?"

"What did you do?"

Gu Huai was somewhat suspicious. Could it be that she was secretly doing something behind his back?
"I also squeezed in a cup of coffee and ate two pieces of semi-baked cheese. There are two pieces left. Do you want some?"

"Cai Yan!"

"Calling yourself on the job while working!"

"Cai Zhiwu!!"

I'll kick you to death!

Cai Yan picked up the notebook and was about to kick Gu Huai, but Gu Huai, whose reaction speed was now much better than before, easily dodged it. He said irritably.

"Alright, alright, I won't hold these things against you. Go tell Minister Qian right away, the live stream is tomorrow. If the plan doesn't go through, we're finished."

"Now you know that if we don't go through with the plan, we're doomed? I've looked at your budget, and it's not something Minister Qian would be happy to accept. So, at times like this, you have to rely on me, okay? Or you can go and say it yourself."

Gu Huai rolled his eyes.

He may seem to get along well with his colleagues today, but that doesn't mean he's good at dealing with his superiors. He's seen those rhetoric but never used them, and even if he had persuasion skills, it would be difficult for him, not to mention that he fundamentally resists this kind of thing.

Looking at those leaders' seemingly kind appearance, you never know when they might unleash a torrent of fury on you if you make a mistake, catching you completely off guard.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

It's only because my current team leader is Cai Yan that I can communicate so well; it would be much harder if I had a different team leader.

"I'm begging you, Cai Zhiwu, please go quickly, Minister Qian is already on the subway soon."

"Minister Qian drives a car, why would he take the subway?"

Cai Yan got up, picked up her computer, and rolled her eyes at Gu Huai.

"I was just saying it offhand."

"Then I'll pass on the message for you?"

"Is it really necessary? Do we have some deep-seated hatred for each other?"

How abominable.

We were too kind to this woman in the simulation; she should have been bullied severely!
Cai Yan narrowed her eyes, "Then say something nice?"

"What's nice to hear?"

"Like... Sister Yan, or something like that?"

"Okay, Sister Cai."

"Are you calling me Cai Ming from here? Are you doing it on purpose? I'm not going."

He turned to turn around as he spoke.

Gu Huai impatiently reached out and pressed his hands on the other person's shoulders. At this moment, with the arrow already on the bowstring, he couldn't care less about whether the contact was intimate or not.

He also failed to notice the fleeting panic in Cai Yan's eyes when she turned around.

Cai Yan only saw Gu Huai cough once, and then say to her with a slightly helpless expression, "Sister Yan, I'm troubling you. Victory or defeat hinges on this moment, so please hurry, okay?"

"Hmph, wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

She deliberately said these words to cover up the panic she felt when the other person grabbed her shoulders.

This despicable man is getting bolder and bolder. Men are indeed creatures that are prone to arrogance. Give them a little encouragement and they'll become overconfident. Now he even dares to touch my shoulder. I don't even want to think about what he'll dare to do in the future!

But I'll let it slide this time, hmph.

Gu Huai released his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

He only came to his senses when Cai Yan turned and walked towards the door.

Huh? What did I just do? Did I touch the other person's body?

It seemed to be the first time he had ever taken the initiative to touch the other person's body. Strangely enough, the other person didn't get angry, and his palms still felt as if they retained the warmth of her shoulder.

As for whether it has a taste.
"Crench!"

What are you doing?!

Gu Huai turned his head when he heard Cai Yan's strange voice.

Just outside Cai Yan's newly opened office door, Lao Lin, Sister Guo, and two colleagues from Group Two were seen crowding around the entrance. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were about to file a petition demanding a pay raise.

Old Lin immediately laughed it off, "Hahaha, just passing by, Team Leader Cai, just passing by."

"Just passing by? What a coincidence that the four of you are passing by together?" Seeing that things were not going well, Sister Guo turned around and ran away.

"I'm just getting some water, I'm really just passing by!"

The others also scattered like birds and beasts. Cai Yan couldn't do anything about them, since there was no evidence. Unless she checked the surveillance footage, it seemed unnecessary.

She turned around and glared fiercely at Gu Huai.

Gu Huai had no idea what had happened and looked completely innocent.

Until Cai Yan left Group Two.

Gu Huai returned to his workstation to wait for Cai Yan's news. At that moment, Lao Lin approached with that familiar smile that seemed to indicate he had stolen tens of thousands of yuan.

"Sure, Comrade Gu."

"Why are you calling me 'comrade' now? Are you divorced?"

Old Lin was stunned. What does this have to do with anything?

"Hey no, I'm very happy in my marriage. It's you who have the advantage of being close to the water."

"What the hell? Were you guys eavesdropping outside the office just now?"

"What eavesdropping!" Old Lin's eyes widened. "You were talking so loudly, it was practically on purpose for us to hear! We were just passing by and stopped for a moment."

Before Gu Huai could speak, another person approached from the side. It was Sister Guo, who was wearing glasses. She pushed up her glasses and wore a smile that was quite similar to Old Lin's.

"Hey Gu, you even rejected Sister Guo's introduction. So you already have someone in mind? Not bad, you have good taste! Our publicity department really doesn't have anyone who can compare to Team Leader Cai."

Gu Huai's head was throbbing.

This is what happens when you try to get along well with your colleagues.

All sorts of messy things are happening.

He said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense. It's just that I'm an old classmate of Team Leader Cai, so I spoke casually. There's nothing like the relationship you're thinking."

"Wow! It's an old classmate."

Old Lin looked at Sister Guo.

Sister Guo immediately patted Gu Huai's arm, "Isn't this a double blessing? You're old classmates, the same age, and you talk so casually and naturally. Wouldn't it be fair to the entire second group if you didn't get together?"

"How can everyone be considered hopeful?!"

Old Lin thought for a moment and said, "At least this way we only need to give one gift."

"Smart!" Sister Guo nodded immediately.

"Heroes think alike!"

"Snapped!"

Gu Huai watched helplessly as the two of them high-fived in front of him.

That's fucking bizarre!

"By the way, I've been there, so let me tell you from my experience."

"Could you please not come any closer?"

Gu Huai's words were ignored. Just as Sister Guo was about to share some experience, familiar footsteps came from the doorway.

Old Lin immediately coughed loudly.

Sister Guo immediately understood.

Suddenly changing her smile, she said to Gu Huai in a serious tone, "You need to work hard and be more serious and proactive in your work. That's how you'll live up to Team Leader Cai's expectations of you, Xiao Gu."

"?"

"What are you talking about?"

Cai Yan, who had returned with her laptop, looked at Lao Lin and Sister Guo.

Old Lin coughed and stood up. "Isn't it because this kid was making a scene in front of you earlier, acting very disrespectfully? Giving him a talking-to is also a way to relieve Team Leader Cai's burden."

"Yes, Xiao Gu is a nice guy, he's just not very good at talking. Team Leader Cai, please bear with him."

"Okay, I got it. It's time to leave, why aren't you all gone?"

Cai Yan frowned and asked.

"Just going, just going, hehe~"

Old Lin and Sister Guo picked up their things one after another. When Gu Huai turned around to look at their backs, Old Lin didn't forget to clench his fist and give himself a thumbs-up.

Gu Huai simply slumped onto the table.

are you crazy!

Cai Yan looked at the man who suddenly looked dejected, not knowing what had happened, and poked the back of his neck with her hand.

"what happened?"

Gu Huai looked up and asked weakly.

"Good news, Minister Qian has approved it."
