The big boss left. Zhong Qiaohui started to look like her legs had given out against the elevator wall, her fingers touching her intensely pounding heart, and said to Gu Nuan, "I’ve noticed you’re not at all afraid of him. Is it because you’ve t him before? No, if you were really scared, it wouldn’t matter how many tis you t."
Facing Xiao Jianming’s presence, to be honest, not many people could truly withstand it. Involuntarily, one’s heartbeat would accelerate, enveloped by dread, panic, and even non-stop sweating from the forehead.
Gu Nuan had personally seen, during the last big eting in the conference room, the sweat continuously streaming down the face of Sister Cai standing next to her as the interpreter. At that ti, she didn’t quite understand, but now seeing Zhong Qiaohui like this, it seed she could understand—it wasn’t just Sister Cai who had such a reaction.
The reason Gu Nuan was immune was, of course, due to that Mr. Bai at ho. Thinking of how Bai and Xiao Jianming were father and son made her sotis think of Bai when she saw Xiao Jianming. There was nothing about the little buddy Bai that made her feel any panic.
Zhong Qiaohui’s hand suddenly slapped down on her shoulder and she blurted out, "Don’t you think it’s strange? He didn’t outright tell you to stay away from his son, but told you to work hard for him in the company?"
Gu Nuan finally spoke up, "If he had openly told to leave, it would not only show him to be small-minded, but it would also make his son resent him all the more."
One might say that she was slightly aware of where the sly and cunning nature of the big white at ho ca from.
And that sharp tongue of Bai’s had a curiously similar ingenuity to Xiao Jianming’s.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Qiaohui suddenly leaned in close to her face, showing the sa cunning expression as Bai, and grinned, "Tell , what’s your plan? You’re not just going to surrender, are you? If I were you, I definitely wouldn’t be that foolish. How could you let the big fish that you’ve got slip away?"
Gu Nuan felt amused, but she went along with her, "Yes, his family is very rich, and any woman would want that."
"However, I heard that his family mbers are not easy to deal with," Zhong Qiaohui seed to sympathize with her predicant, "For a woman as smart as you, I find it hard to imagine that if you really wanted to be his trophy wife, wouldn’t this be the ti to be at ho helping him take care of the kids first?"
Gu Nuan did not respond.
"Oh—" Zhong Qiaohui had a sudden revelation, her squinted eyes narrowing even further, "I really underestimated you, Gu Nuan. Your ambition is not ordinarily big. What exactly do you want to do?"
"I’m no different from any other woman, I want money."
Zhong Qiaohui seed amused by her words, and suddenly, like a big sister to a little sister, gave Gu Nuan’s head a pat, "You can fool anyone else, but don’t fool , sister—do you understand? It’s very easy to see through, you silly girl."
Gu Nuan felt as though a flock of crows flew over her head as it was patted—caw caw caw! Why were all the people she t so odd?
Upon reaching the Financial Departnt, colleagues began arriving for work one after another. When Tang Qingzhong ca to work, his greeting to Gu Nuan was no different from usual, which clearly showed that most people were unaware of the news. And those who knew kept the secret tight.
Since Fu Yubo was still in the hospital and not yet discharged, Gu Nuan and Tang Qingzhong went to report to Li Sitong together.
Li Sitong was obviously very busy and initially could not allocate specific tasks for the two of them, only asking them to follow up on the loan process for Mingyue, which Fu Yubo had been directly overseeing. Conveniently, Mingyue was indeed under their responsibility.
Because they had to rework the bank’s proposal, this inevitably involved the transfer of all related Mingyue docunts, including those from the Business Developnt Departnt and the Engineering Design Departnt.
