“Manager Gu, look at this child, it’s obvious she brought him in herself.”
Linda recently broke up with her boyfriend and her emotions have been unstable. She often can't help but bring her emotions into her work.
Because Jian Yu is just a lowly receptionist with no connections, that's why she's so aggressive.
Gu Manqi stretched out her hand, which had been given red extended nail polish, and tried to grab Xiao Anman's hand.
Those bright red, sharp fingernails looked like a terrifying claw to Xiao Anman.
Xiao Anman hid her small body behind Jian Yu and then pulled Jian Yu's hand even harder.
He wanted her to come with him.
Fearing that Xiao Anman might use too much force and accidentally let go, causing Jian Yu to fall, she took two steps back following Xiao Anman's force.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Anman said in her sweet, childlike voice.
Jian Yu could tell that she wanted to protect herself, and a wave of emotion welled up in her heart.
Holding her soft little hand, my eyes welled up with tears again.
Gu Tingxiao's meeting in the conference hall was almost over.
"This concludes the meeting."
The long and tedious meeting finally ended. Gu Tingxiao rubbed his temples and left the meeting room.
As a result, when he pushed open the conference room door, he saw Assistant Zhou talking frantically to the people in the secretariat.
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
It wasn't until someone greeted Gu Tingxiao that Assistant Zhou realized Gu Tingxiao had already finished his meeting.
"President Gu."
Upon seeing Gu Tingxiao, Assistant Zhou immediately thought of Xiao Anman, whom he had forgotten downstairs when he got busy.
It's been so long, I hope nothing's happened to the young lady.
"What is it?"
Gu Tingxiao noticed that the man's expression darkened even more upon seeing him, and frowned as he asked a question.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, Miss is still waiting for you downstairs."
Completely forgetting that President Gu was asking him about the formula, Assistant Zhou glanced at his watch and realized that almost half an hour had passed, so he was still a little uneasy when he spoke.
"Didn't you take her home?"
"Miss was a little unhappy because she didn't see you come to pick her up, so she wanted to come to the company to see you. That's why I brought her here. But something urgent came up as soon as we arrived, so I asked her to wait downstairs."
He thought he could resolve the issue quickly, but he discovered that the matter was much more serious than he had imagined, which is why it had taken so long.
After listening to Assistant Zhou's words, Gu Tingxiao lifted his long legs and walked towards his private elevator.
In the first-floor rest area of the Gu's Building, Linda and Gu Manqi blocked Xiao Anman's way.
They wanted an explanation from Jian Yu. When Gu Tingxiao arrived, Xiao Anman was struggling to pull Jian Yu's hand and try to get around the two people blocking their way.
Perhaps because they had been at odds for a long time, Xiao An's rather rosy face had turned red.
The woman opposite her spoke in a fierce tone: "If you don't admit your mistake today, neither you nor this child are allowed to leave!"
"Who can't leave?"
A deep voice sounded behind Linda and Gu Manqi.
The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground was clearly audible, and Linda and Gu Manqi turned around to look at each other at the same time.
"Mr. Gu?!"
"Daddy~"
There's no way to get around these two fierce-looking guys; Xiao Anman is starting to get anxious.
So as soon as he saw Gu Tingxiao coming over, he immediately called out "Dad!" with great joy.
Gu Tingxiao walked past the two women, reached out and scooped up Xiao Anman, holding her in his arms.
"Yes, Dad is here to pick you up."
"Waaah, Daddy."
Her hands were almost too weak; it hurt so much.
Xiao An rubbed her flushed face, red from straining, against Gu Tingxiao's expensive handmade suit, and hummed softly.
An'an is not the kind of child who would feel wronged by a little thing, so when An'an just whimpered softly, Gu Tingxiao felt extremely sorry for her.
He cherished her dearly, afraid that she might be unhappy in the slightest, and couldn't bear to let her suffer any grievances. However, he was harassed by two women wearing Gu's company name tags downstairs at his own company.
dad? ? ! ! !
Linda and Gu Manqi were shocked.
Yes, there was a rumor circulating in the company a while ago that President Gu brought a child who was suspected to be his illegitimate child to the company.
However, as everyone knows, Gu Tingxiao is an unmarried, eligible bachelor.
Moreover, Gu Tingxiao hasn't officially announced anything with any woman for so long, so these unfounded rumors are just gossip in private. Even if Gu Tingxiao really has a child, as long as he's not married and doesn't acknowledge it, the legendary illegitimate child seems insignificant.
Such rumors were just gossip fodder for them; how could they have imagined that Gu Tingxiao actually had a daughter, whom he was now holding so affectionately in his arms?
Assistant Zhou, who followed closely behind Gu Tingxiao, looked at the scene before him and then at the obviously aggrieved little dumpling in Gu's arms. He knew that these two people had offended Gu.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Who are you telling me not to leave?"
Gu Tingxiao's voice was so cold it could freeze solid. His dark, jade-like eyes stared coldly at the two women who had been so fierce in front of Xiao Anman earlier.
"Mr. Gu, we're not talking about the young lady. We're just reprimanding the receptionist who neglected her post."
Linda was so frightened that she stammered. After all, she was just a small manager, and under normal circumstances, she couldn't even see Gu Tingxiao's back.
Gu Manqi was a little better off, after all, she was surnamed Gu and felt that she could still speak up for Gu Tingxiao, so she wasn't as afraid as Linda.
"Mr. Gu, this receptionist is not at her post during working hours. She is a new employee and has a poor work attitude. We were just reminding her to work harder."
Gu Manqi spoke in a high-pitched voice, adopting the tone of a manager.
Gu Tingxiao knew without guessing what these two people were saying that without my presence, they had told the whole truth.
"You tell me."
Gu Tingxiao looked at Jian Yu, whose eyes were still red.
Jian Yu was first surprised that An An was President Gu's daughter, and now she was called out by Gu Tingxiao, leaving her feeling a bit bewildered.
Fortunately, she didn't mess things up. Wiping her eyes, Jian Yu said somewhat aggrievedly, "Mr. Gu, I just saw Miss An'an sitting alone on the sofa and thought she was lost. I was worried, so I went over and talked to her for a few minutes. It really was only a few minutes, but Supervisor Linda is making a big deal out of it and won't let me go back to the front desk..."
Trivial matters, if not for Xiao Anman, would not have even reached Gu Tingxiao's ears.
However, precisely because it involved Xiao Anman, this seemingly insignificant matter became a major issue.
"Show me the live surveillance footage."
The surveillance video and audio in the lobby are synchronized. Since it's related to Xiao Anman, Gu Tingxiao definitely won't handle it lightly.
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
Assistant Zhou immediately followed.
