Secretary Wang retracted her hand expressionlessly. “Miss Zhou, apology is not necessary. Didn’t you already give me 500,000 yuan?”
Zhou Qing looked embarrassed. She wiped the corner of her eyes and turned to Gu Shen. “Brother Gu Shen, it was really an accident between me and Secretary Wang. If she didn’t anger me, I wouldn’t have done such a thing. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?”
Yan Xi imitated her and said, “Brother Gu Shen, you’ll forgive me, right?”
Seeing this, Zhou Qing gritted her teeth. She could not take it anymore and walked over angrily, wanting to pull Yan Xi down.
“Why are you sitting on Brother Gu Shen’s lap? Do you have any sense of shame?”
“I’m sorry, my legs are numb. I can’t get down.” Yan Xi put on a shy expression, then rubbed her forehead against Gu Shen’s chin. “After all, we just had an intense exercise. You know, sometimes, men can’t control themselves.”
At that moment, Zhou Qing’s expression was extremely twisted. Secretary Wang and Gu Er looked away awkwardly, regretting having come here.
“Behave.” Gu Shen suppressed the restlessness in his heart, but the hand around her waist could not help but tighten.
Zhou Qing stared at the interaction between the two, and she was overwhelmed with jealousy and hatred. She thought she might as well make a fuss now.
“Brother Gu Shen, if she doesn’t apologize to me today, I won’t leave!”
Gu Shen glanced at her coldly. “What right do you have to question my wife?”
Madam? Where did Gu Shen get such a wife from? Zhou Qing panicked. “Brother Gu Shen, are you joking? How is such a woman worthy of being your wife? You clearly…”
Gu Shen cut her off. His voice was cold like a freezing wind, making people tremble. “Your father just left not long ago. Maybe I should let him come back and see how uneducated his daughter is.”
Zhou Qing felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that if Gu Shen said it, he would definitely do it. If she continued to be insensible, the Zhou and Gu families’ business would probably end.
Although Zhou Li doted on her, if she hurt the cooperation between the Zhou and Gu families, she would end up in a terrible state even if her mother was protecting her.
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists and apologized unwillingly. “I’m sorry, Brother Gu Shen. I’ll leave now.” However, her eyes were filled with venom as she looked at Yan Xi viciously.
As soon as Zhou Qing left, Yan Xi jumped out of Gu Shen’s laps and mumbled, “This father and daughter are equally stupid. No wonder the Zhou family is in such a mess.”
For a second, Gu Shen couldn’t get used to not having her on his lap. The hands that were holding Yan Xi just now were uncontrollably trying to grab hold of something nearby, and the touch on them had not completely disappeared.
After a while, he adjusted himself and asked. “Why do you say so?”
“Of course I saw it with my eyes. The Zhou family has been declining ever since Zhou Li was in charge.”
Yan Xi deliberately reminded Gu Shen, “He is quite incapable. He only knows to rely on others to do business. What’s worse, every time he finds a new backer, he’ll turn around and point the gun at his old backer.”
“He’s a despicable person who goes back on his words and doesn’t have any credibility. It’s no wonder that the Zhou family is deteriorating.”
“So you don’t want me to work with him?”
“Not really. It’s just that this person is complicated. You have to investigate him properly.”
Gu Shen lowered his eyes and seemed to be lost in thought. “Okay.”
Yan Xi felt that she had helped Gu Shen steer clear of a trouble maker and was extremely happy. However, at this moment her stomach suddenly rumbled.
She quickly covered her stomach, her face turning red.
Gu Shen looked over. “Hungry?”
Seeing a smile on his face, Yan Xi was even more embarrassed. “It’s just that I didn’t eat much today. This potato chip…” Towards the end, her voice became softer and softer.” It’s not filling at all.”
Gu Shen smiled. “Put on your clothes and I’ll take you out for dinner. You can also meet my friends.”
“But it’s not time to get off work yet…”
Gu Shen looked at Gu Er. “Tell everyone that we’ll get off work early today. Pack up these documents and bring them back to the villa.”
Gu Er was already used to Gu Shen’s whimsical requests, but Secretary Wang was struck dumb. She sent a message in the company’s WeChat group.
“President Gu actually got off work early for Madam.”
The next second, she was kicked out of the group chat. Secretary Wang realized that she seemed to have just added President Gu into the group chat.
It was over.. She couldn’t withdraw the message anymore.
