Chapter 364: Dare not overstep your bounds

Tan Wenzhou looked at Gu Zhou.

I vaguely felt that he didn't seem to be very interested in discussing this topic.

He smiled softly, "We're all curious. After all, you two are my friends."

Just when he wanted to ask in a different way.

Gu Zhou spoke lazily, "She is smart and strategic, and will do her best to accomplish something."

The topic was brought back.

Tan Wenzhou's eyes narrowed slightly behind his glasses: "So, you admire her now?"

Gu Zhou admitted generously: "I do admire you. The partners I'm looking for must be independent, excellent, and able to handle things on their own. If they still need to rely on me for help, then they are not qualified to cooperate with me."

"Indeed, cooperation is actually a combination of strengths. The Yuanling ability has always been very strong."

Gu Zhou lowered his eyes and sipped his tea.

No comment.

When he raised his dark eyes again, he changed the subject: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Tan Wenzhou smiled and said, "It depends on the situation. There's no rush to go back, and..."

He spoke slowly, his eyes full of hope: "This time, I don't want to go back alone again."

Gu Zhou's fingertips hooked around the cup handle gradually tightened.

He smiled in an unclear way: "Why, do you have any relatives here who need you to take back?"

"I don't want to bring relatives." His tone became softer. "I just don't want to go back as a single person."

Gu Zhou's lips pursed further.

"To be honest, I like Yuan Ling, from college till now."

Expect a smile from him.

An undercurrent surged in Gu Zhou's heart.

He leaned forward slightly and threw the teacup back into the saucer, making a crisp sound.

He withdrew his hand and lazily draped it over the armrest of the sofa.

There was a sense of nonchalance on that calm face.

also.

No other emotions were visible.

"You have to chase her," he said.

Tan Wenzhou smiled gently: "Yes, you will help me, right? Ah Zhou."

Gu Zhou raised the corner of his lips slightly.

There was no smile in his dark eyes.

"I'll try my best." he replied.

-

An Zhu: "Boss Ling, Manager Chen didn't come to work today."

Wang Yuanling thought for two seconds, flipped through his phone, found Manager Chen's WeChat account, and sent a message: [Old Chen, didn't you come to work today?]

Five minutes passed.

Manager Chen then sent a message: [Manager Ling, thank you for your care. However, my abilities are limited and I am truly unqualified for this position. I hereby submit my resignation. I will draft a letter of resignation and hand it to you after I finish my medical consultation today.]

A calculating smile flashed across her eyes, and every word she uttered was filled with sincerity: "Old Chen, please see the doctor first. If you have any questions, come back and we'll talk."

Manager Chen did not respond.

Wang Yuanling then sent a message to Old Lady Wang: [Grandma, a new batch of bird's nests has arrived. I'll deliver it to the old house at noon.]

The other side quickly replied: [Okay, then come back for lunch at noon.]

Wang Yuanling replied with a smiley face: [Okay, Grandma.]

Nearing the end of get off work.

She returned to the old house carrying the bird's nest that she asked An Zhu to buy on the spur of the moment.

Cross the gate.

She heard Mrs. Wang's voice: "What did you say? That person is coming back?"

Her steps gradually became lighter.

Mr. Wang: "He got into trouble over there and can't stay."

Wang Yuanling frowned slightly. Who was that person they were talking about? Wang Yaozu?

But if Wang Yaozu wants to come back.

Anzhe will inform her in advance.

Old Lady Wang: "When he comes back, will he..."

She was listening intently to the sound coming from the wall.

Suddenly, the old servant's voice came from the side:

"Miss, you're back."

The voice of Old Lady Wang in the house suddenly stopped.

Wang Yuanling adjusted his expression, handed the bird's nest in his hand to the old servant, and raised his voice slightly so that the people in the room could hear clearly: "This bird's nest has just arrived. Remember to store it in the refrigerator. In the next few days, ask the chef to stew it for grandma to eat."

The old servant took it with both hands: "Okay, I'll put it away right away."

After Wang Yuanling handed her the bird's nest.

Then he put on slippers and walked inside.

Beyond the door curtain.

She smiled gently: "Grandfather, grandmother."

Old Lady Wang put on a kind smile and said, "Yuan Ling is back. Aren't you busy today?"

Wang Yuanling stroked the hem of her skirt and sat down.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "It just so happens that Manager Chen took leave today, so he came back early without my approval for any payment."

Mr. Wang looked at her and asked, "What kind of leave did Old Chen ask for?"

Wang Yuanling did not reply immediately, but smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Chen is in charge..."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Mr. Wang's voice deepened: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Old Lady Wang: "What's wrong, Yuan Ling? If you encounter any difficulties, just tell your grandparents directly."

Wang Yuanling said tactfully, "Uncle Zhou has hired a young new finance officer to take over the bidding and procurement accounts, but these accounts were previously handled by Manager Chen. This sudden change in job content is indeed a bit unexpected. Manager Chen is not able to accept it for the time being, which is normal. When he comes back, I will do some convincing to him. Don't worry, I will handle this matter."

Old Master Wang's expression grew increasingly serious, and he tapped the ground with his purple wooden cane. "How young is the financial officer that Old Zhou hired?"

"25."

"absurd!"

Old Lady Wang was also surprised. "Only 25? How much experience can she have? Bidding and procurement involve sums exceeding 100 million yuan. Old Chen's age and experience are not up to the task, but they actually asked a young girl to take over Old Chen's work. How could Old Chen not be disheartened? Old Zhou did not handle this properly."

Mr. Wang angrily said, "When he hired someone, you didn't check it out?!"

Wang Yuanling said softly, "Uncle Zhou hired her because he must have confidence in her professional abilities, but this happened. It's all my fault for not coordinating well."

Old Lady Wang sighed, "Yuan Ling, are you worried about offending your Uncle Zhou?"

Wang Yuanling lowered his brows and said, "Now the bidding and procurement sections are under the jurisdiction of Uncle Zhou. I just feel that since he has taken over, there will definitely be no mistakes, so the people he has chosen must have been carefully selected."

After all, talk and discussion.

Just a few words: dare not overstep your bounds.

She expressed it tactfully.

But the two elders understood.

Old Lady Wang observed Mr. Wang's expression and saw that he looked stern. She said kindly, "The food is ready. Let's eat first."

Wang Yuanling served them the whole time.

I still didn't eat much.

The moment you put down your chopsticks.

Old Master Wang said, "I'll handle it myself, Manager Chen. Just focus on your work."

Wang Yuanling lowered her eyelashes. "Okay, then, Grandpa and Grandma, I have a meeting this afternoon, so I'll be leaving first. Grandma, I've already asked them to prepare the bird's nest. Remember to drink a bowl before going to bed tonight. It's good for your heart."

Old Lady Wang patted the back of her hand affectionately: "Good, Yuan Ling is so considerate and always keeps my health in mind."

She smiled gently.

Just wanted to get up.

Then I heard panicked crying outside.

"Dad, Mom, something happened to Yaozu!"

The voice belonged to Wang Yaozu's mother, Wang Ke.
