Xu Weilai remained silent. Xiao Chun didn’t know if Xu Weilai hadn’t thought it through yet or if she felt that it didn’t matter anymore.
Xiao Chun naturally wouldn’t pressure her. Regarding romantic relationships, the final decision ultimately depended on one’s own heart. The words of outsiders were never the most important deciding factor.
No matter what decision Xu Weilai made, she would support her.
Xiao Chun still had to continue dealing with public relations matters, so she couldn’t continue chatting with Xu Weilai. She said, “Lil’ Weilai, if you don’t come back, I’ll fly over to look for you after I’m done with this matter. It’s your turn to treat me to a meal!”
Xu Weilai smiled and replied, “Sure, come. Eat whatever you want.”
“You said it. I have to continue with the meeting. Remember, don’t reply to anything on Weibo. Just pretend you didn’t see it, understand?”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Xu Weilai logged out of Weibo as Xiao Chun had said. She didn’t pay attention to it anymore.
Since she, or rather, Gu Yu, didn’t want her to be involved in this matter, then there was no need for her to do those things. She didn’t want Gu Yu to misunderstand and think she was clinging to him.

Xu Weilai was jet-lagged for the next two days. After she gradually recovered, her boss sent her a new task.
This task was relatively easy. She was asked to interview the boss of a company. Xu Weilai had already gotten used to doing this sort of thing. She took a look at the information and prepared the questions for the interview.
She heard that the boss would attend the International Business Forum this morning. After it was over, he would be interviewed by the media. Several media outlets already proactively contacted him, but his secretary declined them all.
Since private contact was fruitless, she could only go on stake out.
When Xu Weilai looked at the CEO’s information. She inexplicably felt like she had heard someone mention him before, but she couldn’t remember him at the moment, so she threw it to the back of her mind.
Anyway, she was fully prepared to interview him and get the answer to the question she wanted to ask.
The Forum Conference ended at 12:30 PM. All the big shots in the business world walked out of the conference hall. The reporters that were staking out by the door rushed up in a hubbub and walked towards the CEOs that they wanted to interview.
Xu Weilai also approached the CEO that she wanted to interview. She strode forward and bypassed the other competing media outlets. She was the first to stand in front of the CEO and introduce herself curtly, “Hello, CEO Chen. I’m Xu Weilai, a reporter from Z magazine. I’d like to take a moment of your time to do an interview with you. Is that okay?”
Her nemesis, Zhou Meiqi, followed closely behind. She was the second to step forward. She smiled and threw a few flirtatious winks at the CEO. Her voice was coquettish and charming, “CEO Chen, I’m Zhou Meiqi, Daily Breakthrough’s reporter. Do you still remember our managing editor? He asked me to do an interview for you.”
Xu Weilai curled her lips in disdain. Every time, Zhou Meiqi would play dirty tricks. This time, she was exploiting her connections.
She didn’t expect that the editor of Daily Breakthrough knew CEO Chen. If that was the case, CEO Chen might accept Zhou Meiqi’s interview and reject her.
Zhou Meiqi also felt that her victory was within her grasp. She secretly gave Xu Weilai a provocative look and even deliberately raised her chin.
As expected, CEO Chen nodded. “Editor-in-chief Wang, is it? I remember.”
Zhou Meiqi’s smile became even more smug. “Then…the interview…”
However, CEO Chen turned to look at Xu Weilai and sized her up. He narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling something. A few seconds later, he suddenly said, “Are you… Mrs. Gu?”
