Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 461 - 462: Gu Anxi is dismissed from his position!
However, for a powerful figure like King Jingyao, the thoughts of an insignificant young woman wouldn’t even register.
Upon his return, he immediately relieved Gu Anxi of her duties.
The impact of this was considerable.
Everyone was panic-stricken, sensing that a major shift was imminent. There was particular concern for Little Li, the newly popular figure. After all, Little Li had been personally promoted by the President. Given the current climate, his position seemed precarious.
Old Fang remained quite loyal. Since their families were connected by marriage, he supported them both openly and discreetly.
However, in just that one afternoon, the situation had become a whirlwind of ominous rumors.
In the afternoon, King Jingyao’s secretary-general arrived and met privately with several key figures.
The others were abuzz with speculation. Mr. Wang dismissed Gu Anxi outright, so he must be truly furious. With his secretary-general here, Little Li’s position is likely untenable.
In the office, Wang Jingchuan smiled as he relayed Mr. Wang’s intentions. Director Fang was ecstatic; it felt like skipping several challenging hurdles at once!
Comrade Little Li, however, was utterly dumbfounded. He had been prepared to stand by Gu Anxi and share her fate if she was dismissed, but when the secretary-general explained the purpose of his visit, Little Li was stunned. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
What?
Not only was he not being demoted, but he was actually getting a promotion?
Little Li found it incredible. He quickly recovered, rubbing his hands together and speaking warmly to the secretary-general, "Jingchuan, you can’t hold out on us! You have to give Old Fang and me at least a hint about what’s going on."
Director Fang also looked at Secretary-General Wang with eager, shining eyes.
The secretary-general smiled. "It’s not that I’m unwilling to tell you two esteemed colleagues, but this matter concerns Mr. Wang’s private affairs. I hope you both can understand."
He added, "Actually, whether Gu Anxi remains President or not is no longer important, is it? All the crucial positions are filled by her people. It makes no difference."
Both the director and deputy director were shrewd individuals. A little thought was all it took for them to grasp the implications.
Secretary Wang hinted slightly, "In any case, things are not as they appear from the outside. However, it would be best if you two gentlemen kept a tight lip about certain matters."
Old Fang and Little Li exchanged a look. After careful consideration, they were somewhat astounded.
With a smile, Secretary Wang said, "Well, gentlemen, I should be heading back to report."
After he left, Old Fang patted Little Li’s shoulder and said softly, "No kidding, after what happened today, Gu Anxi truly is audaciously courageous!"
Little Li’s legs trembled as he thought about it. Then, considering the current arrangement, he recalled that person... He was inside for several minutes, wasn’t he?
Men understand men. Reflecting on it now, it was enough to make one break out in a cold sweat.
They were afraid, but Gu Anxi was not. News of her dismissal was flying all over Beicheng, spreading like wildfire through Beicheng University, yet she remained unfazed.
In the evening, she was in her uncle’s office, enjoying a small, exceptionally sweet cantaloupe that he had air-freighted from Africa. After eating half, her stomach pleasantly full, she lay on the sofa playing with her phone, completely content.
Bo Xichen had surgery, so the office was quiet.
After a while, Fengxi’s voice sounded, "Gu Anxi, you’ve been dismissed, and you’re still this happy?"
"What else? Should I demonstrate by crying for you?" Gu Anxi retorted, bantering with Fengxi while playing her game.
A little later, she put down her phone and said mischievously, "Oh, by the way, Feng Mian hasn’t visited in a long time. Don’t you miss him at all?"
Fengxi went BEEP. BEEP. Then she fell silent.
Gu Anxi grinned, thoroughly pleased.
Just then, Feng Mian appeared at the doorway, his expression somewhat petrified. What had Gu Anxi just said? That Fengxi missed him?
Isn’t Fengxi an AI?
Wait, last time at the coffee shop, Gu Anxi mentioned that the person Fengxi likes... is him?
Feng Mian was dumbfounded. It took him a long moment to even raise his hand.
On his wrist was a watch, identical to Bo Xichen’s, also equipped with the Phoenix System.
Eating, sleeping, showering—this watch was almost always with him.
And Fengxi, this AI, apparently had a gender—she even liked *him*!
Feng Mian couldn’t accept this reality. He stood there, stupefied, for a long time.
Gu Anxi smiled. "Ah, Fengxi has become withdrawn! Why don’t you try to coax her?"
Feng Mian glared at her.
Gu Anxi continued to grin. "Are you perhaps thinking that Fengxi watches you eat, sleep, and even bathe every day?"
Feng Mian gritted his teeth. "Then what about your Bo Xichen?"
Just as Gu Anxi was about to make another sarcastic remark, Bo Xichen entered. He tapped her lightly with the rolled-up documents in his hand. "What are you two talking about?"
Gu Anxi grinned at Feng Mian.
Feng Mian touched his nose. "Nothing!"
Gu Anxi then hugged Bo Xichen. "I was just saying how handsome and charming Feng Mian is, a hit with everyone, young and old."
Bo Xichen merely smiled. Feng Mian felt a shiver run down his spine, suspecting this couple often discussed him and Fengxi...
What could he even do about it?
Fengxi was a program, not a real person! Even if she could speak and think, she had no physical body.
Feng Mian was suddenly startled by a realization—he was actually longing to *see* Fengxi.
「That night, Feng Mian had a dream.」
When he woke up, he stared at the watch for a long time... then finally removed the chip from inside it.
For him, life didn’t seem to change. Fengxi rarely spoke when around him, unlike when she was with Bo Xichen, where she constantly bickered with Gu Anxi. Yet, this subtle, almost imperceptible difference still made Feng Mian feel that something was off, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what...
With Feng Mian gone, Gu Anxi snuggled up to Bo Xichen and said mischievously, "Fengxi isn’t coming out anymore. She’s completely withdrawn."
Bo Xichen felt a little helpless. Anxi could handle anything in public, but in private, she often acted like a child, especially when she and Fengxi were arguing—neither would ever back down.
He gently stroked her head. "Fengxi is heartbroken. Aren’t you going to offer some comfort?"
Gu Anxi hugged his waist. "Uncle, let’s build a body for Fengxi!"
Bo Xichen raised an eyebrow. Build a body? He had never considered such a thing.
Gu Anxi whispered, "It’s not entirely impossible, is it?"
Mischievous as ever, she was clearly teasing Feng Mian. Bo Xichen was both amused and exasperated. He pulled her around from behind him, trapping her in his embrace. "Anything else?"
Gu Anxi’s face flushed slightly as she asked, feigning innocence, "What ’anything else’?"
He flicked her forehead. "Feng Mian is still a man, you know!"
