Mr. Gu looked at his leather shoes and nodded repeatedly: "President Jiang truly deserves to be the youngest billionaire in China. Nothing can be hidden from you. We really don't know Miss Xu Wan well. The circles I'm in are too mixed, and I've been out of school for a long time. I've forgotten that students on campus are in an ivory tower, as clean as blank sheets of paper. I'm judging others by my own petty standards."
He knew that lying to Jiang Tingzhou would no longer work.
They had to find another excuse.
Otherwise, if Jiang Tingzhou really wanted to pursue the matter, the Gu family business, which he had painstakingly built and managed, would go bankrupt in no time.
“Hmm.” Jiang Tingzhou acknowledged his words and said, “My wife and I met late in life. I didn’t originally intend to pursue the past, but this time the Gu family has offended my wife again. If I just wave my hand and say forget it, then when I go back… I might have to kneel on a washboard.”
Upon hearing this, Gu's father cautiously looked up.
It was confirmed that the person speaking was Jiang Tingzhou.
He always felt that a man like Jiang Tingzhou, no matter what woman he married, would definitely be the one with the final say at home.
Moreover, men value their reputation and generally won't talk about being henpecked.
After thinking it over, Mr. Gu could only think of one possibility. He quickly bowed and said, "President Jiang, I'm sorry. It is indeed my fault for not disciplining my wife properly. However, although Gu's is a small business, it has been operating for decades. Many of its long-term employees are in their forties or fifties or even approaching sixty. They still have mortgages, car loans, and children to raise. If Gu's collapses at this time, their families may fall apart!"
In Gu's father's view, Jiang Tingzhou must have said that just to find a reason to target the Gu family!
But the life or death of such a small company as Gu's has no impact on Tianwei.
Jiang Tingzhou shrugged slightly: "How am I supposed to explain this to my wife? Actually, my wife has a very good temper, but we've only been married a short time. It would be a loss if we were to have a falling out over something so small."
The ball was kicked back to Gu's father.
Mr. Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said after a long while, "Then, then, how about I have my wife go and apologize to them?"
"Don't stand there, sit on the sofa and think about it again."
Jiang Tingzhou stood up from his desk, walked halfway around, and sat down in the boss's chair, looking as if he was about to start working.
This attitude clearly indicates dissatisfaction with the proposal.
"Then... my wife and I should go to their home to apologize?"
"Shall I have my assistant get you a glass of water?"
Mr. Gu's legs were so weak from standing that he didn't dare to sit down.
After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "I heard that Mrs. Jiang's maternal grandmother lives in the Ma family in our neighborhood. My wife and I will go to the Ma family first to apologize for what happened a few years ago, and then we will go to... and then to... Mrs. Jiang's law firm to apologize in person."
Jiang Tingzhou looked at the computer screen in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember the ancients had the story of carrying thorns to apologize. Doing this now is going too far, but at least one person should kneel down. You can decide who kneels down yourselves."
"well!"
Since Gu's father himself would not kneel, the person who must kneel is Cao Yating.
Moreover, she brought this trouble upon herself!
"By the way, my wife doesn't know I'm the president of Tianwei. Your apology is a clear indication that you've recognized your mistake." Jiang Tingzhou looked calmly at Gu's father. "If you let something slip, then the apology won't be of any use."
"Yes, no problem, Mr. Jiang, please rest assured."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Gu prepared to leave the office.
But this is Jiang Tingzhou's office after all, and whether he stays or leaves is up to Jiang Tingzhou.
Gu's father waited for Jiang Tingzhou to speak.
Just then, the man's cell phone, which was on the table, rang.
Jiang Tingzhou glanced at him, and the serious and cold demeanor he had shown when speaking to him vanished completely. His brows relaxed, and his entire demeanor appeared much gentler.
The man answered the phone, called out "Wife," and then listened patiently to the person on the other end.
As someone who had been through it all, Mr. Gu knew that such a look and demeanor were definitely not an act!
Jiang Tingzhou and Xu Wan have a really good relationship!
Xu Wan called to say that she was almost three months pregnant and wanted to visit a nearby temple to pray for a healthy baby's birth. She wanted to ask if Jiang Tingzhou would be working overtime on the weekend.
After hearing the woman's question, Jiang Tingzhou unconsciously smiled and said, "I don't work overtime. I'll drive. Let's go together."
