Gu Shaoting saw the intimate gesture and his brows furrowed so deeply that mosquitoes could be trapped to death on his forehead. He stared at the hand on Shu Panâs shoulder, willing for it to break.
His eyes were like daggers that could cut the man into a thousand pieces.
He suppressed his emotions and collected himself before he said to the director beside him, âMake it a rule that people shouldnât put their arms around each otherâs shoulders in the office. What a disgrace.â His cold voice revealed his displeasure.
The director was also a shrewd person. After being in his position for so long, he knew how to read people. He also saw what happened just now. Although he didnât quite understand the CEOâs reason, he chose to follow his orders.
âWill do. CEO Gu.â The director replied quickly.
âThe name of the presenter just now is Shu Pan, right?â Gu Shaoting asked with feigned ignorance.
âYes. Her name is Shu Pan.â The director replied. He was worried if Shu Pan had offended the CEO that he was paying so much attention to her.
âI have some questions for her about the project. Ask her to see me in my office later.â Gu Shaoting ordered before he turned to leave the conference room.
âAlright.â The director followed him out.
âShu Pan, wait a moment.â The director who had just left the conference room caught up with Shu Pan and called out to her.
Shu Panâs paused in her movement and stopped. She turned around politely and asked, âDirector Wang, are you looking for me? Is something the matter?â
âYes, Shu Pan. Since you are now in charge of the bid for the tender issued by Su Corporation and know the project best, the CEO would like to confirm some details with you.â Director Wang was still confused about the CEOâs actual reason but he conveyed his request.
Since the CEO had asked to see Shu Pan about the project, the others were smart enough to quickly find an excuse to dodge any potential bullets.
MO Lan heard Director Wang as well and gritted her teeth in hatred. Why must all the good things happen to Shu Pan?
It happened the last time when they were entertaining the CEO, and it was happening again. Both their proposals were alike, yet the CEO liked hers better. Why?
MO Lan glared at Shu Pan viciously before she stomped out angrily.
Tang Wei was delighted when she saw that. Finally, someone had put MO Lan in her place. This woman should have been taught a lesson long ago.
Shu Pan nodded. âLet me put my things away first before I go over.â
When Shu Pan was back at her desk, Tang Wei walked over with a smile and commented, âShu Pan, keep up the good work! I shouldnât have underestimated you. Itâs so satisfying to see MO Lan defeated. I feel half my frustration gone already. Iâm so envious of you for having alone time with the
CEO later. Iâm rooting for you.â
Tang Wei then made a cheering gesture to Shu Pan.
âTalking nonsense again. Itâs a meeting about work. If you really want to see the CEO, you can come with me to his office.â Shu Pan knew what Tang Wei was implying.
âHey buddy, are we still friends or not? Do you need to hit my sore spot every time?â Tang Wei pretended to punch Shu Pan in her shoulder.
âIâd better go now.â Shu Pan picked up the proposal, ready to leave.
âWhen a man and a woman are alone together, itâs like dry wood near a raging fire. Something passionate could happenâ¦â Tang Wei joked.
Shu Pan rolled her eyes at Tang Wei and left.
Standing outside Gu Shaotingâs office, Shu Pan raised her hand and knocked twice on the door. âEnter.â Gu Shaotingâs voice sounded from inside the room.
Shu Pan pushed the door open and saw Gu Shaoting staring out the window. It seemed that no matter where he was, his office always had floor-to-ceiling windows. It was his habit to stand by the windows when he needed to think and to stare out the windows as he thought hard..
