Chapter 88
The group of people were speculating among themselves, purely as gossip entertainment, only Jian Shiwu who was sitting at the table was apprehensive and unsettled. They would be doing the basic translation and starting work in the project team.
There was a knock on the glass door , and Lu Wan walked in and said, "Is the document needed for this afternoon ready?"
Jian Shiwu stood up and handed her a few documents: "Sister Lu, it's all here, take a look. "
“Okay."
Lu Wan said to Jian Shiwu, "By the way, Gu Duan stayed up late last night. Help me make a cup of coffee and send it to his office."
Jian Shiwu: "Okay."
Although he was no longer Gu Duan's assistant, but as long as he was on the 18th floor, he would be asked to do all kinds of trivial things. At first, other interns were be envious, but when they found out that it is really just running errands, no one cared anymore.
Jian Shiwu said to the others, "I'll go out."
Sun Liman waved his hand.
Going out of the office, he wandered to the pantry in a daze. While getting hot water, he was even scalded a little.
"Hiss."
He gasped in pain.
The colleague at the back hurried over and said, "Are you okay?"
"I’m okay."
"What's the matter, did you get lost in thought? "
"Well... I didn't pay attention."
He said he didn't care, but he still couldn't control his thoughts. The four blank years were too suffocating. He could say that he knew nothing about Shen Cheng's life.
What if that blond beauty really was close to him.
When he thought of this possibility, his heart was aching, and he didn't even dare to think deeply, for fear that he would shed tears.
He walked into Gu Duan's office with coffee, just in time when the man was upset: "Are you a snail, why are you so slow?"
Jian Shiwu honestly said, "I'm sorry."
"Forget it, put it there." Gu Duan happened to have something in his hand, and he said, "I'll go to the President's Office to send documents for trial. Clean up the papers on the ground."
Jian Shiwu said with the cup of coffee, "Well, do you want to go there now ? “
Gu Duan frowned: "What, are you up to something?"
"No..yes." Jian Shiwu put down the coffee and said, "I heard that there is a customer over there now, a girl, and if you go over there now you might interrupt the meeting at the president's office."
Gu Duan wanted to tell him it’s none of his business.
But then he turned his mind to observe Jian Shiwu's beet-colored face, and his brain, which had always been one that didn't turn much, instantly made up all kinds of drama.
Gu Duan said: "I’ve intruded a lot in the past, so the two of us should be better, you go upstairs with me."
?
Jian Shiwu was shocked: "What's the logic of this?"
"What's the matter." Gu Duan said, "To go or not to go." "
“ Go."
Jian Shiwu didn't know why he had agreed, but he had agreed with a certain feeling in his heart, because there were some places in the contract the crew had signed with Ji that they couldn't film, and upstairs was one of them, the cameraman couldn't go with them.
Along the way, the two were unusually silent.
"Ding"
They had arrived at the top floor.
Jian Shiwu walked along with a lot of worries, and unexpectedly walked in front of Gu Duan. The secretary at the glass door in front was not there. Jian Shiwu stood at the door and looked inside. The wooden door was closed, and a woman's voice could be vaguely heard.
Only a small gap was opened, and a little bit of the scene inside could be seen from where he was standing.
After seeing a little more clearly, he widened his eyes.
In front of the huge desk, there was a fair-skinned and beautiful woman leaning on the side of the desk. She had fair skin and dazzling red lips. The man on the chair was face to face with her, the distance was very close, very ambiguous, he could not see their expressions very clearly, but it was a revelation.
At that moment, Jian Shiwu froze in place, as if struck by lightning.
Footsteps came from behind, and Gu Duan's voice came slowly: "What are you doing walking so fast. Do you have any eyes for...."
The person standing in front of the glass door suddenly turned around and took Gu Duan's hand.
Gu Duan looked at him in shock: "What are you doing?"
Jian Shiwu took him out, his steps were a little flustered and messy, he panted softly, didn't answer, just pulled the person back to the elevator.
"Ding"
The elevator door opened.
Secretary Wang came in with something, and was surprised to see the two of them: "Director Gu? Mr. Jian?"
Gu Duan nodded randomly, and the hands that held him were soft and warm. He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he had just looked back and Jian Shiwu's swarthy eyes seemed to be red and misty. At this moment, the person in front of him kept his head down, and he wasn't sure whether he was crying.
Secretary Wang asked suspiciously, "Are you two here to find the boss?"
Jian Shiwu didn't speak like a mute.
Gu Duan handed the document in his hand to the secretary, "Since you are here, that is just fine, you can give this to the boss, I won't go over there."
Secretary Wang took it, and he looked at Jian Shiwu meaningfully.
The elevator door was still open. Jian Shiwu bowed to the secretary and went in. Gu Duan didn't say much and went in.
There seemes to be nothing wrong, this atmosphere was strange and awkward.
"What's wrong with this..."
Secretary Wang muttered to himself. After stepping into the office, he saw the woman in the office through the gap. For a moment, he seemed to understand!
"Dong dong dong"
He knocked gently on the door.
The blonde woman leaning on the table looked sideways and smiled: "Secretary Wang, long time no see."
Secretary Wang said respectfully, "Madam. Linda, good day."
Linda was wearing a white gauze skirt, she looked thirty but was actually in her early 40s. She had the mature charm of a Western woman and an unforgettable beauty, but she spoke fluent Chinese: "I heard from the housekeeper that Shen Cheng was ill this morning, so I came to see him. You...really, how do you take care of people?"
Secretary Wang said quickly, "It's my dereliction of duty."
Isn't this the wife Mr. Ji married two years ago.
This lady was also very interesting. She seems to have been the secretary of President Ji a long time ago. When President Ji had a car accident in the past two years, most of the car was destroyed and it was this woman who protected him when he was in danger. Her legs were all shattered, and she was wearing a gauze skirt that covered the prosthetic below.
Secretary Wang didn't know what happened later. He only know that President Ji was in a coma for half a year later, and Shen Cheng's was in a difficult situation. At that time, it was also this secretary's dedicated support from the hospital that made Shen Cheng's life much easier.
Linda looked at Shen Cheng and said, "Do you want to go back early in the evening? I have learned a few Chinese dishes recently, and I heard that it is very nourishing..."
Shen Cheng said without changing his face: "No, I don't like soup. It's more suitable for you to give nourishment to my father."
Linda's face turned pale.
He didn't drink the soup she brought. She actually really wanted to have a good relationship with Shen Cheng. First, she didn't want to embarrass Ji Yuansheng. Second, she heard that Shen Cheng lost his mother since he was a child, and she wanted to take care of Shen Cheng. But she had always failed to do so, and had always put herself in some awkward situations.
In the past two years, she and Ji Yuansheng had worked hard.
Ji Yuansheng transferred all the shares to his son, and she also gave Shen Cheng the confidants and power she had cultivated in the company for many years. A smart woman knows what she can control, and now she just wants to do her own thing well.
Linda stood up a little and said awkwardly, "I just care about you?"
"Really?"
Shen Cheng leaned back on the chair lazily: "I’ve received your message, please go back. "
"..."
Sure enough, she was rejected.
Linda didn’t know how to describe her feelings. She knee that Shen Cheng would definitely not be close to her. These are all futile efforts, but she always wants to show it and let Shen Cheng see her sincerity.
Secretary Wang didn't dare to say more, so he brought the document over: "Boss, when I came here, I met Director Gu who was Mr. Jian. They seem to have been here just now. Told me to give you this."
Shen Cheng's brow faintly furrowed when he heard Jian was there.
Linda cast a curious look from the side.
Shen Cheng didn't even look at her: "Secretary Wang, see you off."
Julia: "Hey...I..."
Secretary Wang quickly turned to the woman and said, "Madam Linda, our boss is busy, please come back later. "
Linda still wanted to say something, but seeing that Shen Cheng didn't even look at her, she was a little sulky with anger and had to turn around and leave.
Shen Cheng didn't look at the document, only asked: "When did he leave?"
"Just now." The secretary glanced at his watch: "About five minutes ago.
Five minutes.
Shen Cheng narrowed his eyes, probably recalled a moment, and his heart slowly got a little ominous feeling, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Did he... look okay at that time?"
Secretary Wang thought for a while, and honestly said, "Not so great."
"He kept his head down. Secretary Wang scratched his head: "He didn’t seem to be very happy,"
Then he looked up and saw President Shen frowning for the first time ever.It was a rare sight. Even when Shen Cheng attended a board meetibg for the first time, he looked confident. Even when he was negotiating with the most difficult customer in the business circle, he did not show such a troubled look.
Secretary Wang saw Shen Cheng take out his mobile phone, he seemed to dial a number, his face serious as he waited for the other party to pick up, then the phone rang for a while, stopped halfway, and was obviously hung up.
He was hung up on!
Shen Cheng frowned slightly and tried to make another call, but was again hung up.
Secretary Wang in front had a panoramic view of all this. He had followed Shen Cheng for the past few years, watching his identity and status rising. Few people dared to not give him face, it is probably the first time to be hang up on. But for some unknown reason, Secretary Wang lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he only wanted to laugh.
A cool voice came from the front, full of chill: "Is it so funny?"
Secretary Wang jolted, straightened up immediately, and couldn't laugh at all when he came into contact with Shen Cheng's death stare, he was a professional secretary , it is his responsibility to solve the worries of his boss.
"That..."
Secretary Wang carefully considered it, and made an immature suggestion: "Would you like to...No, I'll try to dial the inside line later.”
Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows, his face expressionless.
Secretary Wang quickly gave a second set of plans: "Or you can take a look at this document in a while, and then I will contact the project team to take it back. In that case, maybe Mr. Jian would be willing to see you."
Shen Cheng’s slender finger tapped on and off the table, as if he wanted to confirm something. He glanced at the secretary: "Why do you think...why doesn't he want to answer my call?"
Secretary Wang did not know how to answer this question properly
Either answer would offend either the boss or the future boss lady.
Secretary Wang hesitated for a while, then tentatively replied: "I think, you must first rule out that his mobile phone is out of power."
"...One more word of nonsense and this month's bonus will be deducted."
It was as if Secretary Wang had been instantly opened up: "Then the only possibility left is that he saw you with a woman of unknown origin in the office and was jealous!"
