Chapter 156 The Prince
The next day, returning to Genting Apartment, Su Qianqian regained her former agility.
She walked barefoot on the carpet beside the coffee table and turned on the TV in the living room. The first eight episodes of "The Robbery of Jinse" were broadcast last night.
Gu Chengyu followed her, his brows furrowed as he said, "Put on your shoes."
"I know—" she replied in a drawn-out voice.
He simply picked her up by the waist, put her on the sofa, and squatted down to put slippers on her: "What if you catch a cold again?"
Su Qianqian leaned forward, hugged his neck, and rubbed his cheek: "Ayu is the best."
He pinched her nose: "You just coax me."
The phone on the coffee table vibrated, and the word "father" jumped on the screen.
Gu Chengyu glanced at it and didn't answer.
Su Qianqian said softly, "Just answer it? In case there's an emergency."
The phone automatically hung up and then rang again soon after.
Gu Chengyu sighed, finally picked up the phone and walked to the window: "Dad."
Gu Zhenting's voice on the other end of the phone was serious: "Why didn't you attend the morning meeting today?"
"I forgot, I need to take a leave today." Gu Chengyu looked at Su Qianqian who was peeling oranges and watching TV on the sofa, and said nonchalantly.
"Ask for leave? How can that be possible?" Gu Zhenting raised his voice.
"It's fine if you didn't come to the morning meeting, but you're not coming to the finance meeting next month to analyze this month's cash flow?"
"Well, if I don't, you're still here, aren't you?"
As he spoke, he looked at his Qianqian Jiaojiao Qiaoqiao eating oranges, feeling somewhat relieved, but he still planned to look after her at home today, and then take her to the hospital later to see if there were any hidden dangers.
"Dad, just do whatever you want."
"Gu Chengyu!"
Gu Zhenting suppressed his anger and said: "At least come to the other budget review meeting this afternoon. There are so many project funds waiting for you."
"Who knows if anyone is taking advantage of the situation? I don't know how I could have remembered all those accounts."
"No, Dad."
Gu Chengyu interrupted him, "I really don't have time."
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end, and then he suddenly hung up the phone, as if he was very angry.
Gu Chengyu walked back to the sofa and threw his phone away indifferently.
He took the remaining orange from Su Qianqian's hand, carefully peeled off the shreds for her, and then fed it to her mouth.
Su Qianqian held it in her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction, and asked him stickyly, "Is your dad angry?"
"Yeah, a little."
He pulled her into his arms, rubbing his chin against the top of her head, "Let's ignore him."
"I'll take you to a private hospital this afternoon for another thorough checkup."
At the same time, in the conference room of Gu’s headquarters.
The executives on both sides of the long table held their breath and watched Gu Zhenting rubbing his temples in the main seat.
The CFO said cautiously, "Chairman, what about the account of the overseas subsidiary..."
Gu Zhenting raised his hand to interrupt: "Put it aside for now and wait until Cheng Yu comes back."
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this prince has a bad temper, he is extremely ruthless when it comes to looking at the accounts.
During his last supply chain cost analysis, he casually pointed to a seemingly insignificant logistics expense:
"Why is this five percent higher than last quarter? Fuel prices haven't increased, and the routes haven't changed. Please explain."
The subordinates broke out in cold sweats and checked overnight, only to find out that the outsourced fleet had secretly raised the quotation.
I'm speechless. It's all Gu's fault.
There are countless examples like this.
Every time the Crown Prince attends a meeting, all responsible persons must memorize the details and background of the accounts in advance.
Now it’s the old chairman who has taken over. Although he still has authority, he won’t dwell on such details and ask too many questions.
Gu Zhenting looked at the relieved expressions of the people below and felt a pang of blockage in his heart.
His son, on the other hand, has nothing to do. It's obvious that he's lazing around at home with his girlfriend, who gave him 10 billion, leaving him alone here to deal with so many accounts.
It has been a long time since he held a financial meeting.
Moreover, when he opened the meeting before, each department reported at different times, giving him time to sort things out.
Now everyone is reporting at the same time, how can he understand what is going on?
"The meeting is adjourned."
Gu Zhenting stood up with a sullen face and said, "Wait for Cheng Yu to come back and reopen it."
Everyone respectfully watched him leave, looked at each other, and saw emotion in each other's eyes.
The prince is naturally smart and even the chairman is helpless against him.
