Shu Pan had been extremely busy lately as the final stages of the project proposals wrapped up. In the competitive corporate environment, it was soon revealed who emerged victorious.
After all, Su Corporation was now a major conglomerate, and Shu Pan was well aware of how things should be handled.
Despite the hectic schedule, where there were many people, there was always plenty of gossip.
Just after the morning meeting, Tang Wei approached Shu Pan with an air of mystery.
âHey, Shu Pan, let me tell you some news,â Tang Wei said, knowing she had discovered another sensational piece of information.
âWhatâs going on?â Shu Pan asked, intrigued.
âColleagues who attended the meeting at the headquarters today said that our President Gu had a daughter. She looked a lot like him and was even brought to the company,â Tang Wei shared the explosive news she had gathered.
This matter had already caused a stir within the Gu Group. Previously, there were speculative reports in the newspapers, but it all fizzled out due to a lack of concrete evidence.
However, this time, Gu Shaoting brought his daughter to the company, creating quite a sensation.
If Shu Pan had water in her mouth at that moment, she would have surely sprayed Tang Weiâs face.
âWhat?â Shu Pan thought she must have misheard. How could bringing Joy to the company once have such a significant impact?
Indeed, letting him bring Joy was a mistake.
âShu Pan, you heard it right. The CEO had a daughter. However, we donât know who the childâs mother is yet. Last time, the newspaper only caught a glimpse of her side profile,â Tang Wei regretfully added.
âBut, you know what, I genuinely admired this woman. Giving birth to Mr. Guâs daughter was an extraordinary feat. She was like my idol,â Tang Wei exclaimed with admiration.
Shu Panâs body stiffened, and an inexplicable sense of guilt washed over her. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMaybe sheâs just a relativeâs child? You might be overthinking this.â
âI havenât heard of Mr. Gu having any siblings, and the child looks exactly like him,â Tang Wei dismissed the possibility, showing disbelief.
Perhaps the monotony of their daily work routine led everyone to indulge in gossip about the company ownerâs personal affairs.
âWell, itâs Mr. Guâs private matter. If you keep discussing it, you might end up getting fired without knowing why,â Shu Pan warned with a hint of threat.
âI grew up eating rice, not by being scared. Everyone is talking about it. Whatâs the big deal? Itâs not like weâre discussing it in front of the boss,â Tang Wei shrugged off the warning.
But you were discussing it in front of one of the involved parties, Shu Pan thought, but refrained from saying it aloud.
She Imew Tang Wei meant no harm; she was just casually chatting.
âHowever, you donât know that everyone is really curious about the woman behind Mr. Gu. After all, itâs so mysterious,â Tang Wei sighed.
Shu Pan once again felt relieved that Gu Shaoting hadnât been discovered coming to pick her up so many times. It was better to have him come less often. She didnât want her peaceful life to turn into a chaotic mess.
âStop thinking about it and focus on your work,â Shu Pan advised.
âI donât daydream, but someone does. Do you know MO Lan? When she heard about this, she even said itâs worth becoming Mr. Guts daughterâs stepmother,â Tang Wei mimicked MO Lanâs tone with a perfect imitation.
Shu Pan was speechless. Well, it really was too boring.
âThatâs just wishful thinking, especially from her,â Tang Wei expressed disdain. After all, she never liked MO Lan..
