The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 21: Became Gu Ye's Private Secretary

"You're right, I really need a job. So, Mr. Gu, what kind of position do you plan to offer me?"

Gu Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been too hasty and almost scared her. Moreover, he didn't want Chu Xinglan to know that he had also been reborn. No matter what Lanlan wanted to do, he only needed to help her secretly.

"How about being my personal secretary?" Gu Ye asked, as if seeking her opinion, though he had already made arrangements for this.

"Me? Your personal secretary?" Chu Xinglan chuckled lightly. "President Gu, someone like you can't be that innocent, can you? We've only slept together once, and you're already bestowing so many favors upon me?"

"Whether I'm innocent or not, doesn't Lanlan know very well?" Gu Ye almost reached out to Chu Xinglan again, but then he pulled his hand back, remembering that he had frightened Chu Xinglan earlier.

He didn't want to frighten the little white rabbit; this big bad wolf had plenty of time to make the little white rabbit obediently rely on him.

Yes, he now has plenty of time and will not let that happen again. In this life, he will never allow anything to happen to Lanlan again.

Chu Xinglan blushed at Gu Ye's words. Whether in the past life or this life, Gu Ye would not change. Because of their accidental first time together, he actually wanted to take responsibility for her. This was rare in the extravagant and decadent wealthy families.

"Besides, this isn't a favor. I'm just giving you a chance. Whether you can handle it or not is up to you."

When Gu Ye said this, his expression was serious, as if their relationship was merely that of a superior and subordinate.

Chu Xinglan was taken aback. She looked at Gu Ye sitting on the leather sofa and felt that this was the Gu Ye she knew. The Gu Ye who was very good at flirting just now surprised her and made her feel a little overwhelmed.

Chu Xinglan knew that with her qualifications, she was no match for Gu Ye's personal secretary, but who cared? A personal secretary was a secretary. Even if it was compensation from Gu Ye for what happened, she would accept it without a care in the world. After all, she was the one who needed to support his child, so what was wrong with taking his high salary? Besides, she wasn't taking it for free; she had to work there too.

"Mr. Gu, how much salary do you plan to give me each month? How much does your secretary usually earn each month?"

Chu Xinglan instantly became a little greedy and leaned close to Gu Ye to ask.

Although Gu Ye deliberately kept a straight face, she wasn't afraid at all. She was just taking advantage of the perk of having a one-night stand with him, so what?

"Work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly." Gu Ye looked up and met her gaze, his dark eyes seeming to draw people in.

Chu Xinglan was a little stunned, then quickly stood up straight and pouted.

Is this giving her hope without telling her what kind of hope it is, just keeping her hanging on?

Gu Ye noticed her little expression and a smile curved his lips.

"I'll have Xue Bai show you around the area."

Gu Ye pressed the call button and said, "Xue Bai, come over here for a moment."

A short while later, Xue Bai pushed open the door and came in.

"boss!"

Xue Bai then looked at Chu Xinglan: "Miss Chu."

"You know me?" Chu Xinglan asked curiously.

Xue Bai is Gu Ye's assistant. In her previous life, she and he often met, but logically, he and Xue Bai had never met at this time. How could he know her?

"How could I not recognize her? I..." The assistant was about to say that he had accompanied his boss to see her several times, how could he not recognize her?

At this moment, Gu Ye pretended to cough.

Xue Baicai realized what was happening and quickly said, "Miss Chu is the eldest daughter of the Chu family, how could I not recognize her?"

Chu Xinglan still had some doubts in her mind when Gu Ye spoke up: "I'm thirsty, go get me a glass of water."

Chu Xinglan glanced at Xue Bai.

Xue Bai looked at her, and seeing that Chu Xinglan still didn't react, he reminded her, "The boss wants you to go."

Chu Xinglan then remembered her current identity.

"I'll go right away?" She turned around but then realized she didn't know where the water dispenser was. "Where's the water dispenser?"

"I'll take you there," Xue Bai said calmly. As he left, he received a cold glare from Gu Ye: "Don't talk nonsense."

Xue Bai quickly closed his lips tightly, indicating that his mouth was sealed shut.

And so, Chu Xinglan began her first day working alongside Gu Ye.

Chu Xinglan noticed that Gu Ye had another secretary beside him. She was an ordinary-looking woman named Yang Yang. She remembered that in her previous life, Gu Ye's secretary was not named Yang Yang, but a woman named Shirley. Shirley was tall and beautiful, with a model-like figure, curvaceous and very attractive. As far as she knew, Shirley had been with Gu Ye for many years. Logically, Shirley should still be by Gu Ye's side at this time. Why was it this ordinary-looking, seemingly honest Yang Yang?

Could it be that the trajectory of this world has changed since she was reborn? Is that why Gu Ye went to her house to propose marriage earlier, and why Gu Ye's personality seems so different from his previous life?

Chu Xinglan was lost in confusion. If that was the case, hadn't she found the culprit who harmed her from Gu Ye's side yet?

"Miss Chu, what are you daydreaming about?" Yang Yang nudged Chu Xinglan.

Chu Xinglan realized what was happening and quickly asked, "Yang Yang, how long have you been here?"

"Not long, just a few days," Yang Yang replied truthfully, still puzzled.

"Only a few days? You're a newbie like me?" Chu Xinglan asked in surprise. She thought that Yang Yang had been with Gu Ye for several years, just like Shirley in her previous life. It seems that she was overthinking it.

Did Shirley have something come up, so Yangyang was temporarily sent to replace her?

"By the way, Gu Ye... wasn't President Gu's former secretary named Shirley?" Chu Xinglan asked again.

"Shirley? How did you know? Do you know about that too?" Yang Yang seemed even more surprised than Chu Xinglan.

"What's the matter? There really is a woman named Shirley by Gu Ye's side." Chu Xinglan received confirmation from Yang Yang.

"Stop talking, it's so embarrassing." Yang Yang looked very ashamed.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xinglan was even more puzzled. What bad thing had Shirley done that made her feel ashamed?

"Don't you know?" Yang Yang looked at Chu Xinglan strangely, thinking that Chu Xinglan knew something.

"What do I know?" Chu Xinglan was even more baffled by Zhang Er.

At this moment, Gu Ye and Xue Bai walked over.

He seemed to have heard something, and his expression darkened.

Even Xue Bai's expression wasn't good. He had always been very polite to her before, but now he was scolding her and Yang Yang: "Did the company hire you just to chat? Aren't you going to do any work?"

Yang Yang panicked and quickly took out the data report in her hand and handed it to Gu Ye.

"Boss, here are the documents you requested." She didn't have any powerful connections or outstanding beauty; she got here based on her education, so she had to be diligent in her work, or she would lose her job.
