Chapter 714: Why Doesn’t He Like Me?
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shaoting felt full of energy again. Shu Pan was his motivation to work hard.
He buried himself in work at the office and called He Ming at some point in time to inform him of the seriousness of their situation.
The two of them brainstormed for a solution and agreed that they would need to move some money from Gu Group’s headquarters. They couldn’t give up on their overseas business, which contributed significantly to the group’s revenue.
Gu Shaoting also specifically asked He Ming to help take care of Shu Pan. They couldn’t afford any mishaps now that she was pregnant.
He Ming told him not to worry and asked him to focus on work.
Charlene looked at the time and figured that Gu Shaoting would still be at the office, so she headed there.
However, she was stopped at the front desk because she didn’t have an appointment.
“My name is Charlene. I’m looking for Brother Gu. Please find out if he’s willing to see me.” Charlene spoke with her head held high, her fair neck looking like a proud white swan’s.
The receptionist didn’t dare to offend Charlene upon hearing the intimate way she addressed CEO Gu. She had no choice but to pick up the phone and call his office.
Shortly after, Gu Shaoting’s deep voice sounded on the phone.
“CEO Gu, there’s a Miss Charlene here looking for you. Is it a good time?” The receptionist was so nervous that her voice was trembling when she said that.
Gu Shaoting’s brows were so tightly knitted together that they could squash a mosquito dead. Why was Charlene here?
Why was she looking for him? She probably wouldn’t let it go until she saw him.
“Let her come upstairs.” Gu Shaoting gave in eventually; he could use this opportunity to make things clear to her.
“Miss Charlene, this way please.” The receptionist made an inviting gesture to the elevator bank next to her.
Charlene didn’t even say thank you as she walked towards the elevators.
The overseas office of Gu Group in France was also very big, and Gu Shaoting’s office was on the top floor.
Charlene took the CEO’s exclusive elevator up. She was actually very nervous and only let her guard down when the elevator doors closed.
She looked at her reflection in the elevator walls. Her shoulder-length hair with trendy Korean bangs, her expensive, figure-hugging dress, exquisite makeup, earrings worth tens of thousands of yuan and her branded bag all showed her taste as someone born with a silver spoon.
She was so perfect, but her Brother Gu was not interested at all. She was really puzzled.
Charlene was still nervous as she rode the elevator. After all, girls were more thin-skinned.
When she arrived at the top floor, she knocked on Gu Shaoting’s door. Gu Shaoting was talking to someone on the phone and gestured for Charlene to enter and sit.
Charlene looked at his office, which was mostly black, white, and gray. It had a very modern feel. It wasn’t extravagant or complicated. It was very tastefully decorated.
Because she loved Gu Shaoting, she liked everything about him.
Charlene sat on the sofa for about ten minutes before Gu Shaoting ended the call.
“Charlene, why are you looking for me?” An indifferent and deep voice suddenly rang out, snapping Charlene out of her daze. She looked up nervously.
Gu Shaoting was holding a folder and he was dressed in an elegant black suit, looking tall, handsome, and powerful.
Charlene’s heart raced suddenly. She suppressed the emotions in her heart and asked, “Brother Gu, why didn’t you agree to my father’s terms?”
Charlene’s tone was very sad, heart-wrenching even.
Gu Shaoting looked at her for a few seconds. His indifferent expression did not change when he said, “Charlene, I won’t agree to that kind of condition. I love my wife more than anything else.” Gu Shaoting made his stand clear again.
