Chapter 539 The Boss Arrives from the Cold, Everyone's Gossiping
"My God...this is so...so cool?!"
Several young female interns who had just joined the company were caught off guard by this "nuclear-level" beauty attack, their faces instantly turning red, their hearts pounding like drums, and even their breathing stopping for a beat.
They stared intently at Ye Fan, their eyes greedily capturing the sharp, defined lines of his collarbone that occasionally peeked out when he moved.
A girl's heart was pounding wildly in her chest, and her mind was uncontrollably replaying classic scenes from various popular idol dramas—
"The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me," "The Cold-Faced Tycoon's Working Wife," "The Billionaire CEO's Contract Lover"...
In an instant, the entire open-plan office area seemed to be submerged in invisible pink bubbles.
Who cares! Fantasizing in private isn't illegal anyway!
Being able to work with such a stunning face that shines even brighter than top idols every day, even if it means working overtime until late at night, would be a joy for them!
"Good afternoon, boss!"
Gu Yuejia quickly suppressed the complex thoughts that flashed across her face, and showed a proper and generous professional smile as she greeted Ye Fan.
Today, she wore a well-tailored dark suit skirt, which accentuated her tall and capable figure, making her look completely different from her dashing appearance at the racetrack last time.
The last time she was in close proximity to Ye Fan was when she drove his McLaren P1 to a private racetrack on the outskirts of Jinling for a high-speed race.
Although Ye Fan was already radiant back then, today he seems to have accumulated an indescribable quality, like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath, which has restrained its outward sharpness but exudes a more profound and awe-inspiring inner radiance.
Ye Fan's gaze lingered on her for a brief moment, his deep eyes revealing little emotion, he simply nodded slightly in greeting.
He then went straight into the office.
"Click".
Only when the soundproof solid wood door completely blocked her view did Gu Yuejia feel as if she had unloaded a huge burden, and she collapsed back into her large leather chair as if all her strength had been drained.
Instead of immediately dealing with the mountain of documents, she leaned back in her chair, somewhat lost in thought, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the cold edge of the desk, her whole being lost in a daze.
"It's only been a short time since I last saw him, how come he seems... different again?" Gu Yuejia frowned slightly, suspiciously resting her delicate chin on her fingertips.
Ye Fan's facial features and contours were exactly the same as when they last met.
Even her hairstyle has hardly changed.
But the natural composure of a superior, the unfathomable depth of his eyes, and the relaxed sense of control he exuded in every gesture were like a magnetic core, firmly gripping her entire attention.
If Ye Fan on the racetrack a while ago was a young prodigy with a sharp edge and imposing presence, then at this moment, he has transformed into a being who has undergone tempering, perfectly concealing his sharpness, and exuding the aura of a true top-tier tycoon.
More profound, more captivating, and more deadly.
"Is it true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"
This absurd and extremely dangerous thought, like a pebble thrown into a lake, suddenly jumped out from the depths of her mind, startling Gu Yuejia so much that she shuddered!
Two suspicious blushes instantly rose on her delicate cheeks, her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably, and she was shocked at why she would have such an inappropriate, even "suicidal" thought!
After that harrowing farewell at the racetrack last time.
Ye Fan always clearly and explicitly drew a line in his attitude towards her—maintaining a purely businesslike relationship between a boss and a capable subordinate.
There was not a trace of ambiguity in his eyes, nor a hint of transgression in his words; he showed no excessive interest in the woman "Gu Yuejia" herself.
As a result, this once proud woman, who was pursued by countless wealthy young men and talented young men and was known as the "Goddess of Nanjing Racing Circle," actually experienced a considerable period of disappointment in private.
She even began to doubt her life, repeatedly examining herself in the mirror: Was her makeup not exquisite enough? Was her figure not hot enough? Or had her pride and joy truly depreciated without her noticing?
She was conscious.
She knew that Ye Fan was never short of beauties of all shapes and sizes, each with their own unique charm.
Leaving aside the distant past, let's just talk about Miao Zi, the chief secretary of Minglu Culture who often represented Ye Fan in managing affairs and held a very high position.
Her cool, aloof, and intellectually capable demeanor, and her exquisite figure that even top supermodels would envy, made Gu Yuejia, a woman herself, secretly marvel and feel inferior.
She rationally and almost cruelly built a strong psychological defense for herself, forcibly suppressing and extinguishing all unrealistic thoughts.
She channeled all her pent-up frustration and depression into work, throwing herself wholeheartedly into the important task Ye Fan had entrusted to her—taking charge of Minglu Culture's core film and television investment department.
During this period, she worked day and night, reviewing scripts, visiting film sets, negotiating contracts, and conducting assessments. She was so busy that she wished there were 48 hours in a day.
The intense work was like the best anesthetic, making her believe that she had long forgotten the man's image from the depths of her heart, and that the dam she had built was as solid as a rock.
But who could have imagined it?
It was just a fleeting glance as he pushed the door open and entered.
It was merely the faint, almost imperceptible, chilling scent of top-grade cedar and tobacco that lingered as he brushed past me.
This psychological defense line, which she had painstakingly built over several months and countless overtime nights, collapsed in an instant, just like a shoddy construction project that had been hit by a magnitude 10 earthquake!
The uncooperative heart inside her chest was pounding wildly at a frequency so clear it was deafening; it couldn't fool anyone, not even herself.
"Gu Yuejia, Gu Yuejia, wake up! This is an extremely dangerous sign!"
She frantically warned herself again and again, trying to pierce that psychedelic bubble with the icicle of reason.
Ye Fan is surrounded by real girlfriends, each one a top-tier beauty!
Besides, she was several years older than him!
From any perspective, it's like being separated by an insurmountable chasm; there's no way things can possibly go any way! If you continue to let yourself "conquer yourself" like this, the deeper you sink, the harder you'll fall and the more painful the pain will be for you!
"Ugh!!! This is so annoying!"
Gu Yuejia finally let out a deflated wail, burying her delicate yet troubled face in the cold, smooth desk piled with documents, completely losing her composure.
Her meticulously styled, thick, elegant long curly hair was slightly disheveled from her rubbing.
Those eyes, usually sharp and insightful at the negotiating table, were now unfocused and pitifully fixed on the closed office door, as if they could penetrate the thick wood and glimpse the unsettling figure inside.
Her pride and her invincible composure and rationality in the business world crumbled completely at this moment, turning into a chaotic mess of confusion and frantic struggle.
