“Yeah!” She nodded because she needed to get her stuff. “Do you have it?”

“I do.”

Li Yuan took out his phone and found Qin Sijue’s number.

“Call him yourself.”

Gu Qiangwei took the phone and smiled politely at him. “Thank you.”

When she looked at the contacts on his phone, there was only the word ‘Jue’ on it. She still had no idea what that man’s name was.

How should I address him later?

At the same time, in the Jue Empire Group’s meeting room on the top floor.

There was great pressure in the serious atmosphere, and the conference room was silent. No one dared to straighten their gaze on the man on the president’s seat.

Yet at such a tense moment, a phone began ringing suddenly, breaking the silence in the rather eerie conference room. All the members jumped, and their hearts almost flew out of their bodies.

Qin Sijue, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned. He looked at his black phone before him and saw the words ‘Li Yuan’.

He was silent for 2 seconds. Then, he put the phone up to his ear and responded with a voice so low that it was a little scary!

“Speak up!”

His low and deep voice clearly revealed that he did not expect the call. Gu Qiangwei, who was on the other end of the phone, paused and gulped.

“It… it’s me.”

Hearing that a lady’s voice was on the phone, Qin Sijue frowned. For a moment, he did not make out that it was Gu Qiangwei’s voice.

“Gu Qiangwei.” She spoke again.

Qin Sijue’s heart twitched a little. He was a little surprised by this voice.

He looked up and swept a look across at all the stakeholders on the meeting table. Then, he got up and walked towards the window.

His voice was cold and deep as usual with no sense of warmth. “What’s the matter.”

“I want to ask you something. Are my phone and luggage with you?”

Qin Sijue paused for a few seconds and did not answer.

Gu Qiangwei continued asking. “If it is, can you bring them over?”

“Are you ordering me to do things for you?”

Gu Qiangwei paused. This man seems to be really unhappy at the moment.

“That’s not what I mean, I-”

“Ddu-ddu-ddu…”

Gu Qiangwei looked at the phone, shocked.

He hung up just like that?

This man is too moody!

“How was it?” Li Yuan, who was by her side, could not help but ask as he stared at her.

Gu Qiangwei looked up and handed him the phone. “He hung up on me!”

“Then do you want to call him again later?”

Gu Qiangwei thought about it for a moment. Wouldn’t the outcome be the same if she called him again later?

“Forget it, I’ll think of a way myself.”

Li Yuan looked at her. “Is it very urgent?”

Gu Qiangwei forced a smile. “Nah, it’s just that I have something on tomorrow.”

“Given your current situation, you cannot be discharged tomorrow.”

Gu Qiangwei did not speak and just stared at Li Yuan.

Her entire body ached really badly, but she was not badly injured.

The client that she was going to meet the next day was very important, so if she did not go, she would lose a big amount of income. No way could that happen.

Now that she had left home, the things she needed most were money and a stable job; after that, she had to find a way to rent a home.

She had no idea if she had enough money in her card to rent a house either.

“I know.” She smiled.

Thinking about how she had to pay the hospitalization fees, she felt like she really was terribly poor. A dignified lady like her from the Gu Family had actually reached such a miserable state in life.

“Then have some rest. If you need any help, get the nurse to call for me. Right, I’m Li Yuan.”

Gu Qiangwei smiled. She had a rather good impression of Li Yuan.

“I am Gu Qiangwei.”

“So we know each other now!”
