When the two of them arrived back at their hotel, they looked at each other.
âWhen Charlene comes for her internship, get someone to look after her. Donât make any mistakes.â Gu Shaoting instructed He Ming.
âSure. But judging from her expression, I think she wants you to look after her.â He Ming teased.
âGet lost. Donât gloat or youâll be the one taking care of her.â Gu Shaoting was very irritable now.
âWhen can we go home?â Gu Shaoting asked.
âIn a few more days. Have you forgotten that we still have a few clients to meet? Also, since we are here, we should pay a visit to our branch office, right?â He Ming had arranged their entire trip.
âHurry up. I want to go home.â Gu Shaoting said helplessly.
âYou make it sound like I donât want to go home. Xiaomeng has been practically ignoring me. Sheâs out every day dressed to the nines, eating, drinking, and having fun.â He Ming complained.
âDid Shu Pan tag along?â Gu Shaoting asked nervously.
âI guess so. Looking at their Moments, the two of them are inseparable.â He Ming nodded.
âIâm going to ask Panpan to stay away from Ye Xiaomeng. I reckon that sheâll lead my Panpan astray.â Gu Shaoting said with conviction.
He Ming made a gagging gesture.
Would Shu Pan listen to Gu Shaoting nowadays? He doubted it.
âTry to shorten the trip. I have something important to do when I get home.â Gu Shaoting emphasized.
âAlright, my young master. I want to go back more than you do.â He Ming felt extremely helpless.
Shu Pan frowned. Why were there so many missed calls?
Why did Gu Shaoting have to say to her? It was probably nothing important.
Never mind him.
Just as Shu Pan was about to get busy, her phone rang again.
âPanpan, what are you busy with? Why didnât you answer my calls?â Gu Shaoting thanked the heavens that his call was finally answered. He finally felt a little more at ease.
âIâm at work.â Shu Pan felt that Gu Shaoting really had nothing better to do. Did he call again just to ask her that?
âYour boss is too much of a slave driver. You donât even have time to answer a call? Donât worry, Iâm going to buy your company. You wonât be so busy after that.â Gu Shaoting said seriously, giving Shu Pan a heads-up.
Was this man nuts? Shu Pan thought that Gu Shaoting was ridiculous and took what he said as a joke.
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up.â Shu Pan couldnât help but roll her eyes.
âNothing special. I just miss you.â Gu Shaoting said affectionately.
Shu Pan felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard that. She said, âIâm hanging up now.â
Then, she really hung up.
Gu Shaoting was furious when he heard the call disconnected tone on his phone. He turned to He Ming and said, âHurry up and start the acquisition process. This is our main focus now.â
âWhat triggered you this time?â He Ming looked at his flushed face and knew that it probably have something to do with Shu Pan.
âWomen are so unreasonable. She doesnât appreciate my being nice to her.â Gu Shaoting complained.
He Ming didnât say anything because he knew what that felt like.
Gu Shaoting and He Ming met with clients and discussed business in the days that followed.
They got back late one night and went back to their respective rooms.
Shortly after, Gu Shaotingâs phone rang. He saw that it was Tong Fei calling and rejected the call without hesitation.
But his phone rang again immediately. Gu Shaoting was a little annoyed and pressed the answer button.
âShaoâ¦Ting⦠I⦠Iâm so scared, can⦠Can you come over for a while?â Tong Fei cried as she said over the phone. Her words were intermittent..
