Xiang Yinghao had called Gu Tong in just to ask her about what had happened last night, not because of Mrs Xie, so after learning about last night's situation and comforting her, Xiang Yinghao had told her to go out and work. He was worried that she would be lost in her own thoughts while sitting there foolishly, and that her mood would turn even worse.
Gu Tong knew Xiang Yinghao's intentions. After thanking him sincerely, she returned to her position and focused on her work.
After being comforted by Xiang Yinghao on Gu Tong's side, the matter of her breaking up with Si Yicheng had been put aside for the time being. Everything had returned to its calm state once more.
However, Si Yichen had only just started creating a storm.
After his fight with Gu Tong last night, Si Yichen went to work today as usual. However, his mood was even worse than Gu Tong's. Furthermore, he was the boss of the company, so he didn't treat anyone well.
No matter who did the wrong thing, or if they didn't do it well enough, he would scold them harshly.
Just a morning had passed, yet there were already four or five female executives who were scolded and crying by Si Yichen.
Yang Zhaozhen keenly sensed that something was wrong with Si Yicheng today, so for the sake of his colleagues in the company, he wanted to find out why.
With Si Yichen's current condition, he naturally didn't dare to go head to head with him, so he directly asked for his opinion. Thus, he decided to take advantage of the time for lunch and went to Gu Tong's company to look for her.
However, just as he arrived at Y.X., he saw through the window that Gu Tong and Xiang Yinghao had come out together, talking and laughing.
Looking at how they were happily chatting, Yang Chi immediately understood why Si Yicheng was so angry at the company.
Although he found out the reason, he did not know the details of the matter. Yang Zhui did not dare to act rashly, so he could only return home and find a way to understand the situation first.
Although Gu Tong's condition looked no different from before, only she knew that the quality of her sleep had become extremely bad and her appetite had dropped. Even her work performance hadn't been as good as before.
She even discovered that she had unknowingly become a crybaby, going to work every day with her eyes fixed on a pair of light bulbs.
She didn't want herself to remain like this. She also didn't want her colleagues to talk about her condition every day, so she decided to use a large amount of work to numb herself. She didn't go back to the hotel to rest every day.
She would rather be said to have had dark circles under her eyes than to have been said to have been frustrated by her emotions and to have cried under the covers every night.
Although the news of Gu Tong and Si Yicheng breaking up hadn't spread, as a girl, she came to work every day with a pair of teary eyes. It didn't matter what happened, everyone knew. Various versions of the rumor had already spread.
Tonight, Gu Tong had planned to draw all night long just like the night before. However, when she drew until midnight, she suddenly felt a splitting headache. She really couldn't hold on any longer, so she decided to give herself half a night of vacation before returning to the hotel to rest.
At the same time, she felt that it wasn't too good to leave a teenage child like that in the hotel by himself.
Although she didn't show the slightest disagreement with the arrangements she had made during this period of time, Gu Tong could guess from the listless manner in which she had promised that she wouldn't sleep well by herself every night.
Gu Tong often stayed at the company to work overtime during this period of time. However, she would still find time each morning to go to the promised school, accompany them to eat breakfast and see what the promised situation was.
Even if she was in a terrible mood, she could not bear to leave her promise alone.
However, there were some coincidences. Gu Tong, who had never taken a company elevator in the middle of the night, was stuck in the elevator after experiencing an elevator failure for the first time.
She had just stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator only lasted for a few seconds before it started to shake vigorously.
Then, the bright elevator suddenly turned pitch black and at the same time, it stopped in its tracks, motionless!
"Help! Help! Is there anyone outside? I'm trapped in the elevator! "
Inside the dark elevator, Gu Tong had just steadied herself when she took advantage of the light from her phone to quickly rush to the front of the button and press it. She shouted in panic, hoping that someone would hear her scream and come rescue her.
However, her cries for help received no response from anyone.
She didn't want to stay in the enclosed elevator, so she started dialing the number on her cell phone, trying to contact someone outside.
However, her phone was in the elevator and didn't have any signal at all. The phone couldn't be reached.
"What should we do? Am I going to be trapped here forever? "
Gu Tong gripped her phone tightly and kept pacing back and forth anxiously, afraid that she would be trapped here until she lost all signs of life.
"Gu Tong! Gu Tong! Are you in the elevator? "
Just as she was sweating profusely from anxiety, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from the bell.
She immediately pounced with excitement, "Fang Cheng, is that you? I am Gu Tong! I'm in the elevator! The elevator suddenly stopped moving. It was pitch black inside. I'm so scared by myself! Hurry up and get someone to come and save me! "
Gu Tong wasn't afraid of the enclosed space, nor was she afraid of the pitch-black night. However, when the two of them combined, and knew that their lives could be in danger at any time, Gu Tong was scared.
She didn't want to die at such a young age because of an elevator failure.
"I understand. I'll have someone come and save you right now. Don't panic."
Fang Cheng consoled Gu Tong with a few words, and then the bell stopped ringing.
After finding out that someone knew she was trapped and had gone to find someone to save her, the panicked Gu Tong finally calmed down a little and slowly sat down in a corner.
Faced with this situation, she felt that only by sitting in a corner would she feel a little safe.
However, even after sitting there for half an hour, nothing happened.
Could it be that Fang Cheng has already forgotten about me here? Or could he not find someone to save me?
Gu Tong began to let her imagination run wild again, and couldn't help but shiver.
"I don't want to die here …" "I'm going out …"
Gu Tong tightly wrapped her arms around her curled up legs and sat in a corner, murmuring to herself. Her voice revealed an unprecedented fear and nervousness.
