Chapter 197: A Minor Inconvenience During Contract Signing

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At noon the following day, Gu Shaoting and He Ming went to see Mr. John at his office. John was an elegant and humorous French man. They spoke in English. They had communicated before today and this meeting was set up mainly to confirm the details of the contract and sign it. The meeting progressed smoothly. Just as they were about to sign the contract, a lady knocked on the door and walked in.

“Lady” probably wasn’t the right word to use. She was more of a girl.

She had jet black dark hair and very fair skin. The simple white dress she was wearing accentuated her youthful vigor. The most attractive thing about her was her black, sparkly, and unforgettable eyes.

Gu Shaoting and He Ming looked at each other, confused about what was happening. But it was obvious that this girl had a special relationship with Mr. John, or she wouldn’t have walked in without waiting for a response after she Imocked.

“Charlene, that’s very rude of you. Daddy is in the middle of a meeting.” Mr. John chided insincerely.

“Daddy, I didn’t know. I’ll be more careful next time.” The girl stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly to Mr. John.

“Mr. Gu, Mr. He, this is my youngest daughter, Charlene.” John introduced.

They greeted each other. Gu Shaoting didn’t pay attention to anything else. He just wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible so he could go home. Shu Pan still hadn’t called him back. He was worried if something had happened.

“My second wife is Chinese. Charlene looks like my wife.” John explained, and the two of them finally understood.

Charlene also noticed the two attractive gentlemen in the room, especially the man sitting on the single-seater sofa. He was dressed in a black suit and had a tall and sturdy build. His black hair was combed back, accentuating his handsome face with sharp features. There was an unfathomable gaze beneath his prominent brows. He exuded an elegant but cold aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.

Charlene stared at him, and Gu Shaoting could feel it. He felt slightly uncomfortable, more annoyed. If she hadn’t walked in, they would have signed the contract already. “Mr. John, let’s sign the contract first.”

Gu Shaoting sounded a little anxious. He Ming echoed his comment, worried that John might change his mind.

“Alright.” Mr. John agreed, and the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

After signing the contract, the two of them were about to leave when Charlene suddenly said, “Brother Gu, is your country very beautiful, very different from here?”

“Yeah, China is very beautiful, and so is Bin City. You’re both welcome to visit anytime.” Gu Shaoting said politely.

Unexpectedly, Charlene replied, “Okay, I’ll graduate soon and need an internship. Why don’t I go to your company? Can I, Brother Gu?”

“Nonsense, Charlene.” John reprimanded.

“Daddy, I’m serious. If I go to Brother Gu’s company for an internship, I would kind of help you assess his company’s true capabilities and whether we should work with them long term.”

Since she said that, Gu Shaoting had no choice but to agree. “Sure, you’re welcome at my company. I’m just worried that the job isn’t good enough for Miss Charlene.”

“Shaoting, please help me guide her and keep her in line. She’s still wet behind the ears.” John gave his tacit approval to Charlene’s request. Charlene was studying business management at a famous university now; she would join his company and manage the family business in due time. It might not be a bad idea for her to gain some working experience outside.

But Gu Shaoting and He Ming were wailing in their hearts. It was never a good thing to have a nepotism employee in the company. Sigh, they could only deal with it..
