âThen what do you think is the reason why a woman refuses to spend a single cent from a man?â Gu Shaoting asked dejectedly.
Secretary Zhangâs little brain made a 360-degree turn at high speed. Why would CEO Gu ask him such a question? Was there a woman who refused to spend his money? Who was that stupid? If there really wasâ¦
Secretary Zhang finally thought of a neutral answer and said carefully, âGenerally, there are two reasons why a woman refuses to spend a manâs money. Either she loves him very much or she doesnât love him at all.â
âIf she loves him very much, she doesnât spend his money because sheâs afraid that others would misunderstand her as a vain woman whoâs only with the man because of his money. Of course, itâs also possible that the woman has decided to spend her life with the man and canât bear to spend his money because she wanted to help him save money.â
âIf she doesnât love him, refusing to spend his money is equivalent to treating him as an outsider in case thereâs any trouble in the future. After all, favors involving money are hard to settle. She doesnât want to owe him anything to avoid trouble.â
Secretary Zhang couldnât help but secretly cheer for himself. Such a remarkable answer wouldnât offend anyone.
He didnât dare to guess what CEO Gu meant, so he gave him two answers.
He looked at Gu Shaoting, who didnât seem to have any follow-up questions. He didnât stay any longer and quickly left, closing the door behind him.
Having such a boss was mentally exhausting. He didnât just need to be a secretary. He also needed to be a relationship expert.
Secretary Zhang considered buying a few books about relationships after work today so he could enlighten his boss from time to time.
Gu Shaoting felt Secretary Zhangâs words were reasonable.
So, Shu Pan didnât want to spend his money because she didnât love him?
Because she had already said that she was nobody to him. Why would she spend his money?
With the answer, Gu Shaoting became even more irritable, like a porcupine in a balloon factory.
As a result, he was muddleheaded and distracted in everything he did the whole day.
Even during the senior management meeting in the afternoon, he only said two words from the moment he entered the conference room until the meeting ended. âLetâs begin.â
The meeting lasted for more than two hours. He sat there motionless, seemingly very focused on listening to the managersâ updates when, in fact, he was daydreaming.
When the meeting ended, he was still sitting in his seat without a word. The entire conference room fell silent. No one dared to get up until he spoke.
It was not until Secretary Zhang could not take it anymore and called out, âCEO
Gu,â that he came back to his senses. He then looked at everyone and said, âMeeting adjourned.â
Everyone trickled out of the conference room when they heard that.
âWhatâs wrong with CEO Gu? Was he daydreaming throughout the meeting?â One of the senior managers whispered.
âIt canât be because the company is in trouble, right?â Another person chimed in.
âNonsense. The company is doing so well now. How can we be in trouble? I think he was thinking about private matters.â
Everyone speculated.
Gu Shaoting only stood up when he saw that everyone had left. He picked up his meeting materials from the table and left the conference room.
When he was back at his office, it was almost 5:30 p.m. Based on his recent habits, that was when he would leave office to pick Joy up.
He was very happy doing this recently-
He wasnât in the mood to work anyway, so he decided to leave earlier.
His relationship with Joy had improved by leaps and bounds lately.
When he arrived at the parking garage, he called Shu Pan. His call was picked up after a long time. âWhatâs wrong?â
âIâm going to pick Joy up. Are you able to leave now?â Gu Shaoting felt that he was a failure that his subordinate wouldnât listen to him, the CEO.
âNot yet. Wait downstairs after you pick her up. Iâll be home soon.â Shu Pan hung up the phone after giving her instructions..
