Missed key live broadcasts
Lin Yu'an listened with gusto outside, while internally he was furiously complaining: Continuing the family line? Responsibility? Madam Gu, your thinking is quite traditional!
Also, is it a matter of "scaring people away" because of Mr. Gu's aura?
No living creatures are allowed to come near within a ten-mile radius, okay?
In the office, the sound of the mother and son arguing could be heard faintly through the crack of the door that was not closed tightly.
"My marriage is not a transaction!"
"No one said it was a deal! It was for you to find someone of equal status, someone worthy of you!"
"Worthy? What you mean by worthy is the symbols piled up by family background and education?"
"Gu Lin! How can you talk like that! I'm doing this for your own good!"
"I don't need this kind of kindness! Please take these things and leave my office! Now!"
Gu Lin's voice was extremely cold, carrying an irresistible pressure.
Even through a door, Lin Yu'an could still feel the biting cold.
The office area outside was dead silent, and all the employees wanted to bury their heads in their monitors, not daring to make a sound.
Lin Yu'an also quickly lowered his head, pretending to be an invisible person.
Mrs. Gu seemed to be annoyed by her son's toughness and was silent for a few seconds.
Her high heels stomped heavily on the floor: "Okay! Okay! Gu Lin, you've grown too independent! I can't control you! But the Gu family can't be extinct! This isn't over yet!"
After saying that, she walked out angrily.
The assistant hurriedly picked up the materials of the rejected "candidates" on the coffee table.
When Mrs. Gu passed by Lin Yu'an's workstation, she glanced at him sharply.
The look was scrutinizing and clearly displeased, as if he was taking his anger out on someone.
Lin Yu'an immediately held his breath, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
Until Mrs. Gu disappeared at the elevator entrance with a depressed mood.
The entire 28th floor seemed to thaw, and suppressed exhalations could be heard one after another.
Lin Yu'an secretly glanced at the closed door of the president's office and mourned for Gu Lin in his heart for a second.
It turns out that even the King of Hell has a nemesis!
But... this scene is enough to make him laugh for half a year!
Especially Mrs. Gu’s words, “It is your responsibility to carry on the family line,” hit the mark for today’s young people!
At ten o'clock in the evening, Doupi's face was already rosy from sleeping.
Lin Yu'an couldn't wait to put on a wig, a nightgown, and a teardrop mole, then opened the live broadcast room.
When he thought of the "big news of the century" during the day, he couldn't help laughing!
"Hello, my dears from Planet Meow~ Good evening! I'm An Xiao Miao, feeling particularly excited after watching a 'rich family ethics drama'!"
He started the show with irrepressible excitement, successfully arousing the audience's curiosity.
【Xiao Miao is so high today?】
[A drama about the ethics of a wealthy family? Tell us more!]
[Does the Iceberg Devil have new materials? 】
[The small stool is ready! The melon seeds are ready!]
"Ahem," An Xiao Miao cleared her throat, trying to appear less gossipy.
But his sparkling eyes betrayed him, "Here's what happened! Today, the mother of Xiao Miao's 'Ice-Faced Boss' suddenly came to the company!"
He described it vividly: "That aura! That pomp! It was like the Empress Dowager going on tour! The receptionist was so frightened that she stuttered!
Then, the Queen Mother rushed straight into the boss's office, and guess what happened?"
He paused deliberately to keep the audience in suspense.
[Urging marriage! Definitely urging marriage!]
[Bet a bag of spicy noodles! It's definitely a blind date!]
[Hahaha, even the living devil has his day! ]
"Bingo!" An Xiao Miao clapped her hands lightly, "It's about urging marriage! No, it's about precisely dropping the blind date bomb!"
He imitated Mrs. Gu, speaking in an elegant yet powerful tone: "'You're thirty-one! Not twenty-one!' 'Look at the Su family's daughter! Graduated from Cambridge! Beautiful temperament!' 'The Li family's daughter! A Wall Street elite! Good match for you!' 'The Qin family's...' Wow! That file bag, it's like wholesale!
The coffee table was covered with them! The young ladies in the photos are all so beautiful and come from prominent families! I feel like any one of them could be cast in a wealthy idol drama!
The barrage of comments was hilarious:
【Hahahaha! Precise delivery!】
[The Queen Mother is mighty! ]
[What's the boss's expression? Tell me quickly!]
"The boss's expression?" An Xiaomao tried hard to recall the rare crack on Gu Lin's icy face.
Imitating his cold and irritated tone: "'Mom! No need! No time!' But the Queen Mother directly said: 'It is your responsibility to carry on the family line!' 'Our family cannot die out!'"
An Xiaomiao pinched her throat and imitated Mrs. Gu's accent perfectly.
[Poof! Continuing the family line! Responsibility!]
[Hahahaha! The Queen Mother has very traditional ideas!]
[Boss: I treat you as my mother, and you treat me as your stud?]
[The sense of substitution is too strong, I'm already suffocating! My mom is like this too!]
"Then the boss got completely pissed off!" An Xiaomao made a "chilling" gesture.
"'My marriage is not a transaction!' 'You mean these symbols are what you deserve?' 'Please leave! Now!' Wow!
That aura was so intense that I felt like I was freezing even through the door! The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost died on the spot. She said, "This matter is not over!" and stormed off.
He concluded his speech with a tone of deep "sympathy".
In fact, he was gloating: "Tsk tsk tsk, so, my dears! All beings are equal! No matter if you are a domineering CEO, a living devil, or a small-time office worker like me, in front of your mother's marriage-urging method, you will all be exposed!
It turns out the iceberg wasn't without cracks; it was actually cracked open by my own mother using the four words 'carry on the family line'! Hahahaha!"
The live broadcast room is filled with a cheerful atmosphere:
[Xiao Miao's description is so vivid! It's so vivid!]
[I'm dying of laughter! It turns out even the CEO can't escape being pressured into marriage!]
[Continuing the family line is a responsibility! This sentence has made me laugh all year long!]
[I feel sorry for the boss for a second, then hahahaha! ]
[Does Boss Xiao Miao know that you complained about him like this in the live broadcast room? ]
[The "Meow Meow Guards" sent a big rocket! Thank you, little cat, for your hard work eating melons!]
"Protecting the Best An Xiao Miao" presents a luxury cruise! Support Xiao Miao's complaints about the boss and his family!
The gift special effects are all over the screen again.
Lin Yu'an looked at the joyful comments on the screen and laughed himself to the ground.
The fatigue and stress from the day's work all disappeared with this hearty chat.
He smiled at the camera, his wig tilting a little: "Thank you all for the gifts! Thank you 'Meow Meow Guards' and 'Protecting the Best An Xiao Miao'!
Oh, although it feels good to complain about the boss, Xiao Miao still has to say something fair: marriage is a big matter, and it really can’t be forced!
Being well-matched is important, but mutual affection is paramount! I hope the boss can withstand the pressure and find true love!
Okay, okay, the fun time of eating melons is over, now it’s time for the serious tree hole segment! Those of you who have troubles can join the microphone! "
And at this moment, on the other side of the city.
In the president's office on the top floor of Gu Group, the lights were still as bright as day.
Gu Lin is caught in a tug-of-war with North American capital.
The terms of a key bet agreement were deadlocked, and the legal teams of both sides exchanged sharp words through emails and video conferences, separated by a twelve-hour time difference.
As the final decision maker, Gu Lin must always stay sober and in absolute control, and his nerves are stretched to the extreme.
On the three large screens in front of him, densely packed English contract terms, real-time market data, and the serious face of the other party's representative in the video conference were scrolling.
Assistants and the core legal team were in the adjacent conference room, on standby at all times. The atmosphere was solemn, like the dead silence before a storm.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the neon lights outside the window had long since dimmed.
Gu Lin rubbed his stinging temples, picked up the long-cooled coffee beside him and took a sip.
The bitter liquid slid down his throat, bringing a brief irritation.
He glanced at the time in the lower right corner - 11:40 p.m.
He habitually wanted to pick up the tablet, and his fingertips even touched the cold edge.
But the next second, the North American chief lawyer sent him a revised opinion with strong wording and hidden traps, which instantly caught his full attention.
"Reply to them that the additional conditions in Clause 7.3 cross our bottom line and are absolutely unacceptable. Use stronger wording and cite the precedent from our previous merger and acquisition case."
Gu Lin's cold voice rang out in the silent office, with an unquestionable determination.
He devoted himself to this invisible capital game.
The brain is working at high speed, weighing the pros and cons, and looking for a breakthrough.
The live broadcast room that lights up on time at 10 o'clock every night, and the one with a soft fake voice, "An Xiaomiao", who analyzes emotional problems.
And that virtual sea of stars he habitually cast...
Under the enormous pressure of the situation involving hundreds of millions of dollars and concerning the core interests of the group, his thoughts were temporarily squeezed out.
He missed tonight's live broadcast.
Naturally, I also missed the "little secretary" wearing a wig and a coral fleece nightgown.
In the live broadcast room, he described in vivid detail and gloated over the century-long battle between him and his mother over the "continuation of the family line."
When Gu Lin finally used thundering means to temporarily stabilize the situation.
When I closed all the screens exhaustedly, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
He was the only one left in the huge office, and it was silent.
He leaned back in his chair, closed his bloodshot eyes, and a heavy feeling of fatigue overwhelmed him like a tide.
He subconsciously picked up the tablet and opened the "Xingyu" APP.
An Xiaomao’s avatar is gray and the live broadcast room has been closed for a long time.
There was only one system prompt: "The live broadcast of the anchor 'An Xiao Miao' you followed has ended."
Gu Lin looked at the line of words. There was no emotion in his deep and cold eyes, only bottomless fatigue.
He casually dropped the tablet onto the table, making a soft "pa" sound.
Tonight, the familiar virtual oasis with a bit of "popularity" was finally submerged by the real capital storm.
He stood up, his tall figure looking particularly lonely in the empty and cold office, and walked towards the lounge.
The customary ritual was interrupted for the first time.
