Because of the fight that had just happened, the usually lively and active children behaved very well this afternoon.
For Teacher DouDou, it was an unexpected bonus, as the little ones seemed to be a bit more obedient.
Of course, this "obedient person" doesn't seem to include Zhong Jiayi.
While all the other children were sitting in a row and sharing fruit, Zhong Jiayi kept a straight face and refused to smile.
His older brother didn't like him. He saw the way his brother looked at Xiao Anman, and it was completely different from how he looked at him.
He gripped the piece of candy tightly in his hand, almost to the point of sweat, and desperately wanted to return it to Xiao Anman.
If you give her the candy back, then she can't smile at her brother anymore, and her brother can't like her either.
But……
Zhong Jiayi's icy blue eyes stared at Xiao Anman, who was sitting quietly on the little yellow duck stool, waiting to receive her fruit.
She looked at me with such tender eyes, and even shared some candy with me.
Although he was a boy and didn't like sweets, he observed that Xiao Anman didn't give any candy to anyone except him.
And if my brother knew I did this, he would definitely be angry too.
Zhong Jiayi hesitated for a moment, and even after being picked up by the car after school and taken home, he still hadn't returned the piece of candy he was clutching in his hand.
Gu Tingxiao had two international video conferences today. When he went to pick up Xiao Anman at noon, he had already postponed one of them, so he couldn't pick her up in the evening.
Where's the poop?
Standing at the school gate, Xiao An looked left and right, but couldn't see Gu Tingxiao anywhere.
Standing next to the car door, Assistant Zhou was both amused and exasperated, realizing that he had absolutely no presence in front of the young lady.
Having no other choice, Assistant Zhou greeted Teacher Dou Dou and then squatted down in front of Xiao Anman.
"Miss, do you remember me? I'm Zhou Wenran, Mr. Gu's assistant."
Xiao An was fiddling with the tiny penguin bag that Gu Tingxiao had bought for her, her pink lips pursed into a line, looking rather unhappy.
She knew this uncle, but the person she wanted to wait for was her father.
"Mr. Gu, are you very busy today? Shall I take Miss home first?"
Assistant Zhou doesn't have children of his own yet, and he's not good at coaxing kids. He's only seen Gu Tingxiao do it a few times, and now that it's his turn, he has absolutely no idea where to start.
An'an is a well-behaved child. She showed a rare hint of unhappiness because Gu Tingxiao didn't appear, but she didn't cry or make a fuss like other children.
She thought for a moment, and realized that if her father wasn't home, she could go to his place like before.
Thinking about it that way made her happy.
“I’m not going home, An’an wants to see Daddy.”
Perhaps because of this period of adjustment, Xiao Anman has started to occasionally communicate with people other than Gu Tingxiao.
Assistant Zhou thought that given how much his boss, Mr. Gu, doted on the young lady, he would definitely grant her request.
So he didn't say anything about how busy President Gu was and how he didn't have time to see her, and nodded: "Okay, I'll take Miss to see President Gu. Shall we get in the car first?"
An'an then agreed to get in the car.
In the conference room of the Gu Group building, Gu Tingxiao sat upright, while the large screen displayed video footage of the top managers of each of Gu Group's branches.
“The southern planning has been rearranged, and there are two data errors. You need to reflect on this.”
With his index and middle fingers together, Gu Tingxiao rhythmically tapped the table in front of him.
Although it was an international video conference, with screens separating them and a great distance between them, the presidents of the various branches on the video screen still felt a chill when Gu Tingxiao said those words.
President Gu has very high standards for work; he basically sets the highest benchmark for perfection.
There were eight of them in total. Even the most concise report took them twenty minutes. After almost two hours, Gu Tingxiao's brain was still able to operate at a high speed and clear mind, pointing out their mistakes incisively.
With such a terrifying boss at the top, how could the subordinates not be on their guard at all times?
"I don't want to repeat my requirements again. People and departments that do not meet Gu's standards are wasting resources and Gu can completely discard them."
Gu Tingxiao has deep-set features, and his aura is exceptionally powerful when he looks at people with a cold gaze.
The presidents of all the branches in the video nodded in agreement with trepidation.
Satisfying Gu Tingxiao completely is a challenging task, but Gu's family has an unparalleled reputation in the industry, so even if Gu Tingxiao presents them with insurmountable difficulties, they will do their best to complete them.
"Assistant Zhou, Xiao Yang from the Secretariat has an urgent matter that requires your presence."
Just as they arrived at the foot of the Gu's Building, Assistant Zhou was stopped by a woman in a business suit who looked flustered.
"What is it?"
The woman in business attire glanced around and whispered something in Assistant Zhou's ear.
What? !
Assistant Zhou was immediately at his wit's end. He was about to leave with the woman, but as soon as he took a step, he remembered that there was a little baby next to him who needed to be taken care of.
The matter at the secretariat was urgent, and Assistant Zhou couldn't be in two places at the moment, so he looked down at Xiao Anman and said, "Uncle has something to take care of right now. An'an, would you like to sit on the sofa here and wait for Uncle?"
Xiao Anman held her little penguin bag and nodded obediently.
Assistant Zhou didn't have time to make any further arrangements and immediately rushed to the secretariat with the woman.
The Gu Group building can be described as a gathering place for elites, with white-collar workers in work clothes coming and going, all in a hurry.
So Xiao An walked around here for a while with her short legs, and no one noticed her presence.
Just as the receptionist finished registering the children, she noticed a little bundle of joy on the sofa next to her.
Where did this child come from?
The receptionist called over her colleague, pointed in Xiao Anman's direction, and asked curiously, "Is this a child brought by a visitor?"
The colleague shook his head, also finding it strange: "It wasn't here just now. Did you go to the wrong place?"
The receptionist has excellent eyesight and could immediately see Xiao An's soft, chubby face. If such a pretty child got lost, her family would be so worried.
"I'll go take a look."
The receptionist couldn't resist and took a big bag of snacks from her locker and walked over to Xiao Anman.
My goodness, how can there be such adorable children in the world?
As she got closer, she realized that Xiao An was even more delicate and beautiful than she had seen from a distance. The receptionist, holding snacks, squatted down on the sofa and asked very gently, "Little friend, are you alone?"
Xiao An's big, dark eyes, like black grapes, blinked as she looked at the receptionist who had suddenly appeared in front of her and shook her head slightly.
She is not alone.
