After letting her fall asleep, the faint wrinkles between Gu Tingxiao's brows, who had been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, slowly disappeared.
In the clear moonlight that filled the courtyard, a few strands of soft, gentle moonlight, filtered through a thin veil, fell on the ears of the two people, one big and one small, who were nestled together.
The moonlight was like water, tranquil and gentle.
The long night was like a dream, silent and still.
As the nightmare faded, someone delivered the most beautiful dream.
The next morning, at the Gu family villa restaurant.
"President Gu, the major mistake made by Shengtian's European branch, I..."
"I am willing to resign and take responsibility for this, but I simply cannot make up for the amount of the losses..."
"...I'm sorry for letting you down after promoting me..."
I finally got a good night's sleep thanks to my daughter, but then I received this news first thing in the morning.
Gu Tingxiao glanced at Xiao Anman, who was sitting obediently in her high chair waiting for dinner, while holding his phone.
He was supposed to stay home and have breakfast with her this morning.
But now...
Gu Tingxiao took a step back, phone in hand. If the president of the European branch were standing right in front of him, he would have been executed by Gu Tingxiao's gaze countless times.
"As a manager, you used your last chance just to call me and say this?"
They had no solutions to the problems, and their ability to adapt to situations was terrible.
The president of the European branch, who was already convinced that this was his last phone call while he was still alive, turned ashen-faced upon hearing these words.
really.
There's no chance for me to turn things around this time, is there?
With a 72-story building beneath his feet, Huang Zihua, who was already standing on the edge of the rooftop, closed his eyes.
The whistling wind could be heard in my ears.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, it's my fault."
Even the wisest person can make a mistake. In the marketplace, which is full of thorns and traps, he had no way to avoid it, so he was doomed.
"Is there a single word in what you're saying that reflects your worth, Huang Zihua?"
Gu Tingxiao said coldly.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry..."
He truly couldn't fill the hole of hundreds of millions of dollars, so this time, consider it his fault for betraying the Gu family, let him die, his death will suffice...
Huang Zihua looked down into the abyss and murmured something under his breath.
“The Gu family is not an infant that has been raised with the help of others. What does this loss matter? What I want is for you to demonstrate your ability to work for the Gu family.”
"Mr. Gu?"
Huang Zihua, who was about to put down his phone, asked in a slightly trembling voice.
Gu Tingxiao's words didn't mean he wanted to hold him accountable at all; President Gu was actually... using his will...
“When I arrive in New York, I don’t want to see you still unprepared.”
"Yes, Mr. Gu, I will definitely not let you down again."
After ending the call, a gust of cold wind jolted Huang Zihua, the president of the European branch, who was now on the edge of the rooftop, back to his senses.
Looking down into the abyss below, all that remained was a chill, not the despair of utter hopelessness.
"Organize the latest information from the European branch, and also book a flight to New York for the earliest possible date."
After sending the message to Assistant Zhou, Gu Tingxiao returned to the restaurant.
"Daddy, have some buns~"
Breakfast was all laid out. When Xiao Anman saw Gu Tingxiao coming over, she reached out to hand him the pearl buns in her hand.
Gu Tingxiao opened his mouth and ate it.
"Thank you, An'an."
"Daddy, hurry up and eat your duck too!"
"Dad has something to do at the company and won't be having breakfast. He'll probably be gone for two days. Will An'an be okay at home by herself?"
What's wrong?
"Dad works so hard..."
Xiao Anman didn't cry or make a fuss because Gu Tingxiao was about to leave; instead, she felt a little sorry for him.
Who would bear to abandon such a well-behaved daughter?
But there was no other way; Gu Tingxiao had to make the trip this time.
"Then An'an will wait for Daddy at home. Daddy doesn't need to worry about me~"
The large plane took Gu Tingxiao away, and the little dumpling, who told his dad not to worry, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Especially after Gu Tingxiao left, Helian Min did not return.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
When Little Star was dismissed from kindergarten, while other children were being picked up one by one, Little Anman sat alone by the plum blossom stake, carrying her little penguin bag and lost in thought.
With his hands in his pockets, Zhong Jiayi held up his boyish face and asked with somewhat awkward concern.
Hearing Zhong Jiayi's voice, Xiao An slowly raised her head and said sullenly, "Dad and brother aren't home."
I thought it was something serious, but Zhong Jiayi is home alone most of the time.
This is the first time I've seen the little idiot so listless. After all, he's a man, and the little idiot is a girl, so it's normal that she might not be as energetic as him.
Zhong Jiayi's gaze fell on Xiao Anman's little penguin bag and he said, "Hey, do you want to come to my house to play?"
