Gu Xu had no intention of eavesdropping on her phone call, but since they were in the same car, he inevitably overheard some of it and naturally understood what she meant.
He thought for a moment: "If you are powerful enough and stand high enough, that is indeed the case."
They're not criticizing you behind your back, but they think you're very capable. Even a glance from you is analyzed and interpreted by your subordinates.
Mingzhuo: "So, Ah Xu, you manage such a big company, are all the people under you afraid of you?"
She found it hard to imagine that someone as gentle as Ah-Xu would reprimand his subordinates.
Gu Xu chuckled: "Perhaps."
Even though he usually tries to speak without emotion, and it's also his personality that keeps him at a distance from those around him, the more he does this, the more his subordinates feel that he is unfathomable and dare not act recklessly in front of him.
But Mingzhuo was different. From their first meeting, although she wasn't very enthusiastic, she wasn't afraid of him either.
Mingzhuo sighed: "Axu, you're feeling lonely at the top, but you're actually such a good person."
Gu Xu turned to look at Ming Zhuo: "No, you are the truly good one. You are broad-minded, compassionate towards the weak, upright and honest."
Mingzhuo was taken aback. If someone else had said that, she wouldn't have taken it to heart at all, but when Gu Xu said it, his eyes were serious and focused, clearly not just being polite.
She really wanted to ask, "Ah Xu, are you being influenced by those people and overthinking things?"
Li Wenhe suddenly said coldly, "Didn't you say you were sleepy? Why are you talking so much?"
Mingzhuo gave Li Wenhe a strange look, feeling that he had been inexplicably irritable lately.
"Young people shouldn't stay up late all the time. Going to bed early and getting up early is the only way to maintain a happy mind and body." After giving this advice to her eldest apprentice, she crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes, pretending to doze off.
