Gu Shaotingâs simple words made everyone shudder.
His voice was like ice, so cold that it made people shiver.
Mr. Zhang replied quickly, âLeave it with me, CEO Gu. I will definitely find out who did this.â
Director Wang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He patted himself on the back for his decision to inform Mr. Zhang when things got out of hand. This was, after all, about the CEOâs private life. It wasnât his place to intervene.
It was best dealt with by the person in question.
Investigate thoroughly?
Everyone in the room was scared when they heard that. The expressions they wore when mocking Shu Pan vanished completely.
Everyone was on tenterhooks, worried that they would be implicated.
âLet me reiterate my point. If anyone dares to make things difficult for Shu Pan, they are making things difficult for me and I wonât let them off.â
Gu Shaotingâs words were sonorous and forceful, and everyone felt even more apprehensive. They couldnât help but decide that they must never offend Shu Pan in the future.
Shu Pan pursed her lips and finally looked up at Gu Shaoting. She looked at him quietly, intending to smile, but tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Gu Shaotingâs heart wrenched when he saw her tears. He lowered his head to kiss away her tears, but she cried even harder. It took a long time before she stopped crying.
Shu Panâs heart felt warm. Her heart was at ease now and she no longer felt helpless.
It felt good to have someone to lean on.
âSilly girl, you always have me. Donât be afraid of anything.â Gu Shaoting caressed her hair.
He then looked up and scanned everyone in the room, his gaze cold and terrifying.
MO Lan saw that things were going awry and wanted to hide in the crowd.
âMiss, you hurt my precious. Do you think this is the end of it?â Gu Shaotingâs voice made MO Lanâs heart jump to her throat.
âCEO Gu, Shu Pan hit me first. You can ask the people here. Iâm also a victimâ¦â MO Lan tried to argue with a pitiful look on her face. But when she met Gu Shaotingâs cold eyes, she was so scared that she quickly shut up.
âYou must have provoked Shu Pan. So what if she hit you?â Gu Shaoting knew Shu Pan very well. She was the kind of person who wouldnât attack unless she was attacked first.
Moreover, the other person must have gone overboard and pushed her over the edge.
âDid you make the video?â Gu Shaoting suddenly thought of this point. Why else would Shu Pan lose it?
MO Lan looked at him timidly and didnât say anything for fear of making things worse because Mr. Zhang would find out eventually.
âMr. Zhang, I wonât allow the person who hurt Shu Pan to remain in the company. And Iâll take legal actions against those who slandered her.â Gu Shaotingâs words were like a death sentence for MO Lan.
She was dumbstruck. Had she been fired from her job? Then all her efforts over the years would be in vain. Would she still be able to survive in this industry in the future?
After MO Lan realized what happened, she tugged at Gu Shaotingâs sleeve and begged, âCEO Gu, please donât fire me. I wonât do it again.â
Gu Shaoting looked at her coldly before he flung her hand away. MO Lan fell to the ground again.
She looked even worse with this fall. Her face was covered in tears and snot, and her makeup was ruined. She looked awful.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that Gu Shaoting was unmoved, MO Lan tugged at Shu Panâs pant leg. âShu Pan, I will never argue with you again. Please persuade the CEO not to fire me. Iâve worked hard all these years to get to where I am. Please⦠I beg you.â MO Lan said in tears..
