Chapter 106 I Want to Be With You
"Something came up at the company and they asked me to go back to handle it. I have to go there first."
He had thought that his work for the day was all done.
Unexpectedly, the client encountered a technical integration problem, which could affect the entire project schedule if not addressed promptly.
"It's okay, I'll go with you!"
Zhou Shufen took the initiative to speak.
As she spoke, she picked up her bag and stood up.
"You've been busy all morning, aren't you tired of bothering me again?"
Guo Zhenyi's tone was full of doting affection.
"Listen to me, go home and rest first. I'll come back to you after I've finished my business."
During this period, she was running around preparing for the new store and hardly got any rest.
He saw it all, and it pained him deeply.
"But I just want to be with you..."
Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.
"May I?"
Her shy and bashful appearance softened Guo Zhenyi's heart.
A doting smile curved his lips.
"Silly girl, of course you can. Come on, let's go together."
He was actually quite happy.
This feeling of being needed and relied upon is more satisfying to him than any material reward.
As Zhou Shufen stepped out of the department store, the wind outside ruffled her hair.
Guo Zhenyi took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, then took her hand and walked towards the parking lot.
Guo Zhenyi drove to the company building.
Zhou Shufen often passed by here.
She had imagined what his work would be like, but had never actually stepped inside.
The elevator doors opened with a "ding," and the two walked into the lobby side by side.
Guo Zhenyi led Zhou Shufen to the private elevator on the eighteenth floor.
Guo Zhenyi led her into the foreign company's office.
As soon as Guo Zhenyi entered the company, he switched to work mode.
The gentle smile that had been in the car vanished instantly, replaced by a calm and focused expression.
A young male colleague walked towards me with a familiar smile on his face.
"Hello, Manager Guo. And this is?"
His gaze fell curiously on Zhou Shufen.
Zhou Shufen was clearly a stranger, and she came in with Guo Zhenyi.
Many people in the office were secretly glancing at them, wondering: Who is this woman?
What is his relationship with Manager Guo?
The person who is usually as cold as an iceberg actually came in smiling all the way today?
But no one dared to approach and ask, after all, Guo Zhenyi was a high-ranking official, and his subordinates had some respect for him.
Guo Zhenyi grinned.
He naturally took Zhou Shufen's hand.
"This is my girlfriend."
Someone shouted first, "Wow...!"
"Ouch……!"
When the colleagues in the office heard this, they were all in an uproar.
"Has Manager Guo finally found love?"
"Wow, she looks even better in person than in photos!"
"Your sister-in-law is so beautiful!"
When are you going to invite me to your wedding?
The entire office area was instantly enveloped in a lively atmosphere.
This manager is usually efficient and decisive in his work.
He is meticulous in his work and makes decisive decisions, and is highly respected in the company.
The only thing that worries people is that he hasn't found love yet.
Now, this only "weak link" has been addressed.
Zhou Shufen has delicate features and her demeanor exudes a natural gentleness and warmth.
The two of them standing together complement each other perfectly; they are truly a well-matched couple.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, go back to work."
Guo Zhenyi's voice was not loud, but it was clear and powerful.
He pretended to have a stern face, but a smile was hidden at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone laughed and replied, "Understood, boss!"
Some joked, "Congratulations Manager Guo on getting a girlfriend," which made Zhou Shufen blush.
Everyone was tactful; after the joke, they went back to their work.
Guo Zhenyi led Zhou Shufen, whose face was already flushed, steadily toward his office.
Zhou Shufen lowered her head, looking both nervous and shy.
He opened the door and smiled as he stepped aside to let her go in first.
"Welcome to my turf. This is the place I've stayed the longest, besides my home."
As soon as Zhou Shufen stepped into the room, her eyes widened instantly.
She quickly scanned the entire room, her expression filled with disbelief.
Guo Zhenyi's office is so big!
It's no exaggeration to say that it's more spacious than her small shop.
Her shop is only about 20 square meters, crammed with goods, cramped and compact.
The space here is twice the size of her shop, with a reasonable and orderly layout.
In the very center of the room was a large desk.
There were no extraneous items on the desk, only an open work notebook and a metallic pen.
Behind the desk was a large leather swivel chair.
On both sides are two rows of neat bookshelves, occupying an entire wall.
The bookshelf was crammed with all kinds of books.
To the left of the entrance is a set of off-white leather sofas and a matching glass coffee table, clearly intended for receiving guests.
A set of exquisite ceramic teaware was placed on the coffee table.
The entire reception area is warm and stylish.
This completely overturned her expectations.
She had always known that Guo Zhenyi was doing well in foreign companies.
She thought he was at most a mid-level manager.
Those who have their own large private office are usually senior managers or department directors.
She suddenly realized that the person in front of her was a truly capable professional elite.
She turned to look at Guo Zhenyi, her eyes filled with admiration.
I am so lucky to have met such an excellent and sincere person.
"You sit on the sofa for a while, I'll take care of some work."
Guo Zhenyi made careful arrangements for her.
He took a soft blanket from under the coffee table.
"The air conditioner is a bit cool. If you feel cold, cover yourself up."
"It's okay, you go about your business, I won't bother you."
Zhou Shufen smiled and agreed.
She didn't want to be a burden to him, nor did she want to take up his precious work time.
She turned around, took a book from the bookshelf, sat down on the sofa, and quietly began to read.
The moment Guo Zhenyi sat down at the table, his entire aura changed.
His gaze became focused and sharp.
She exudes a calm and capable demeanor.
Zhou Shufen held a book and sat quietly on the sofa to the side.
She would occasionally raise her head, her gaze secretly falling on Guo Zhenyi.
The way he works is really captivating.
In particular, he arranged everything clearly and logically.
Despite the seemingly complex and multifaceted nature of the problem, he remained calm and patient.
He always listens patiently first, then analyzes the situation methodically, step by step, to find a solution.
He has found out that a recent batch of key goods for the company has been stuck at customs.
The customs clearance process was originally expected to be completed within three days, but five days have passed and there is still no news of release.
To make matters worse, the other party did not provide a clear explanation.
This batch of goods is crucial.
It contains several core raw materials, and several important projects subsequently depended on it to get started.
This must be resolved as soon as possible!
He knew in his heart that delaying would only worsen the situation.
What exactly is going on now?
On the phone, Guo Zhenyi's tone was already showing signs of anger.
"I want the truth, not vague and perfunctory answers. Who is in charge of this process? Let him tell me directly."
The person on the other end stammered.
Guo Zhenyi's voice suddenly turned cold.
"You say you don't know? Then what's the point of your existence? What I need now is a solution, not an excuse!"
"When can it be done?"
