The elevator doors opened. He Zhichu hadn't expected to see Gu Nianzhi standing at the door. He looked at her in surprise and blurted out, "Nianzhi why are you here? Are..." Are you here to see me? The last sentence lodged in his throat. They had had an altercation the other day and Gu Nianzhi avoided him like the plague since. Things had only eased when he had taken the initiative to call her, but she still was wary of him. She would never have come to his office to see him willingly. He Zhichu had one hand in his coat pocket and carried a briefcase with the other. Swallowing his conflicting emotions, he stepped out of the elevator and nodded to Zhao Liangze standing beside Gu Nianzhi. "Happy New Year, Mr. Zhao."
