Chapter 688: What If I Took It Seriously? (2)

“What if I took it seriously?”

Xu Weilai instantly froze and snapped her head back in shock. She stared at Zuo An and her jet black eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

“What?”

However, Zuo An merely smiled indifferently and dismissed, “It’s alright. Don’t drink so much in the future.”

“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind,” Xu Weilai promised and straightened her back before she said, “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll get back to work.”

“Run along.”

Xu Weilai made her way out of the office and paused outside the door for a moment before she slowly walked back to her desk and sat down.

…

The company’s team-building camp took place as scheduled.

The Gu Corporation had always offered great employees benefits and this time, the team-building camp would be held on an island that was owned and developed by the company.

Three sides of the small island faced the sea and on the fourth side was a mountain. Those who wanted to swim could swim while those who wanted to hike could do so as well. Everyone was spoilt for choice and could enjoy themselves to their hearts’ content.

It was gradually becoming clear that the employees in the company were divided into those on CEO Gu’s team and those who were on Vice President Zuo’s side. Thus, while everyone was sent to the same island for team building, there was a clear distinction between their choice of activity to partake in.

Those who were on Gu Yu’s side chose to head to the beach while those on Zuo An’s side chose to hike and camp in the mountain.

Based on proximity, Gu Yu’s team would stay in the building near the beach while Zuo An’s team would stay in the building behind the mountain.

The hotel staff distributed the keys to everyone upon their arrival at the resort on the island.

As Xu Weilai was Zuo An’s secretary, she was naturally allocated a room beside Zuo An’s while Zuo An’s assistant, Qiao Chu, was allocated the room across from his.

Xu Weilai carried her suitcase into her room and realised that it offered a magnificent view of the sea on her left and the mountain on her right. It was likely because she was living on the same floor as Zuo An, which was the floor with the best rooms.

The only downside was that she was facing the best room in the building across from hers and if her conjecture was right, it was likely where Gu Yu would stay.

The window to the room was pushed open and, as expected, a familiar figure appeared before her. By coincidence, as the man looked out of the window from his room, his eyes met hers.

Xu Weilai quickly looked away but just when she was about to draw the curtains, noticed a slender figure approaching Gu Yu from behind him and she instantly pulled her curtains without further ado.

…

There was, undoubtedly, fewer people in Zuo An’s faction. In fact, there were only ten people, including Zuo An, Qiao Chu and Xu Weilai.

However, there was nothing that they could do, for this was the Gu Corporation that was in question. Gu Yu’s influence ran deep and he wouldn’t be who he was if he could be unseated so easily.

Thus, in stark contrast to the densely packed beach, Zuo An’s side seemed rather deserted.

Xu Weilai was unbothered by this, for she was long past the age where she liked having people around her. Instead, nothing could be more appealing to her than the idea of being able to rest and relax her body and mind in peace.

Zuo An, who was an avid hiker, only rested in his room for a short while before he quickly changed into his hiking gear and proceeded to trek up the mountain so that he could familiarize himself with the route before leading the team up the mountain the next day.

As Xu Weilai had been busy all this while and never had the time to have a good rest, she headed straight back to her hotel room after dinner and collapsed on the sofa. While she was resting, she played a few comedic variety shows with the intention to watch them until she slips off into her dreams.

Eventually, sleep began to catch up on her and her eyelids inevitably began to droop. But all of a sudden, a terrifying bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
