Chapter 291: Chapter 139: Seaview Villa
"Chairman, it’s time for the meeting."
The secretary gently knocked on the door, standing at the entrance to remind.
Gu Tongshu removed the Bluetooth earpiece from his ear, casually tossed it onto the office desk, which rolled and emitted a series of clattering sounds.
Striding into the conference room, the heads of various departments hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Sit down, everyone sit down!"
Gu Tongshu’s face bore a smile as he gestured with both hands down, and after sitting in the main seat, he lifted his hand to pick up the documents, glanced over them briefly, and without any change in his demeanor, he began:
"Let’s push back the originally scheduled work discussion a bit, today I want to hear your business summaries. Come on, the business department starts reporting, and those with work advancement plans, be ready."
The calm words carried an indescribable pressure, and the executives below immediately bowed their heads, inwardly groaning in hardship.
Damn it!
What the hell, why is the BOSS suddenly wielding the knife during a routine meeting?
A group of executives with annual salaries in the millions frantically started flipping through their respective department’s materials.
Gu Tongshu surveyed the conference table and suddenly smiled, showing a line of pearly white teeth.
"I’ve heard that there’s been some very bad office culture in our company lately, too many people not enough work, lazy governance! If demotions and pay cuts won’t serve as a warning to them, then let’s clear some out! One high-level position for demotion, two mid-level positions for expulsion, and an optimization of 10% at the bottom... Any objections?"
The feudal lords remained silent as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe heavily.
An 18-meter saber suddenly hung over their heads; they didn’t understand, but they were extremely afraid.
At the same time, in their minds, they cursed: Who the hell pissed Mr. Gu off like this?!
Don’t let me find out who it is, or you’re done for!
...
Su Huai was happily chatting nonsense, making Gu Jiuyue beam with joy.
Her expressions weren’t overly exaggerated, but when her eyebrows and eyes curved up just a tad, the shallow lustrous eyes conveyed a soft smile.
The coldness and indifference instantly faded away, transforming from a fairy to a mortal, returning to her true age.
Gou Huai, feeling dizzy from being spun around, thought: Xiaojiu even compared me to her real dad, it’s only right I exert some effort; after all, she won’t betray me, and if I do meet Gu, I can just act good then... 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
The mental calculations clicked and clacked; Gou Huai urged her to drink two full bowls of porridge, then cleaned up the leftovers himself.
"Ah...satisfying!"
Gu Jiuyue looked at him tenderly: "Have you eaten enough?"
"Almost there."
Su Huai hadn’t eaten much, but he wasn’t in a hurry: "For now that will do; I’ve got to save room for seafood at lunch...Where’s our first stop after we land again?"
"Is it okay to head straight for Wuzhizhou Island, duck?!" Gu Jiuyue looked at him eagerly.
Su Huai glanced at her, then turned to Wu: "Seems different from the original plan. I need to confirm with your doctor...Wu, could you call the doctor for me?"
"Hin!"
"Of course!"
Gu Jiuyue was slightly unhappy, but Wu was very satisfied.
Su Huai ignored her, and saw Wu press something on her wristband, and the doctor appeared at the entrance of the dining room.
"Assistant Wu?"
"Andy, Su Huai has some questions for you."
The doctor pushed up his glasses and stepped forward, extending his hand to Su Huai: "Hello, Su, I’m Wang Andy, you can just call me by my English name, Andy."
"Hello, hello!"
When Su Huai shook hands with him, he paid close attention.
About forty-something, amiable smile, wearing large black-rimmed glasses, kind of a motherly vibe—not that elite doctor aura, nor as stylish as his English name suggested.
And for some reason, Su Huai felt there was a strange undertone in his gaze...
Emotional sensing from Chen Nuanhan should not be wrong; so, was she shipping CPs in secret?
Su Huai didn’t ponder too long and took the initiative to ask: "If we rush to Houhai Bay immediately after landing at Sanya Phoenix International Airport, then take a cruise to Wuzhizhou Island to check in, will today’s entire journey be too much stress for Gugu?"
Andy seemed very pleased with Su Huai’s thoroughness, smiled contentedly, and once more pushed his glasses up.
"It is indeed a bit stressful. Although we’ve chosen a large airplane for the trip, the takeoff and landing will still impact the young lady’s health, not to mention having gotten up too early, the rest is moderate...
Thus, my suggestion is, after landing, it’s best to rest for a day at Sanya Bay, the sea view hotel previously booked is not far from the airport."
"OK, then we’ll stick to the original plan."
Su Huai made a decisive decision, upon hearing which, Gu Jiuyue’s mouth corners dropped slightly, not noticeably to someone unfamiliar with her, but Su Huai clearly felt: baby is unhappy now.
Su Huai didn’t look at her, but still his heart softened.
He heaved a silent sigh, and pressed further: "So, if we rest well in the afternoon, can I take her out for a stroll in the evening?"
Andy, sensing the tacit understanding and care between the two kids, found it hard to keep her smile contained.
"Of course you can, as long as the young lady eats well and ensures a nap. Once the sun is no longer at its peak, she can be active outside for about three hours."
"Did you hear that?"
Su Huai cocked his head, squinting at the little fairy: "A good friend is prepared to sacrifice tonight’s fun time to accompany you to the night market. How moving is that?"
"Moving!"
Gu Jiuyue nodded decisively, then suddenly brought out the routine she used on her dad as a child: "Su Huai, you are so kind."
Andy’s pupils widened, displaying disbelief with her entire eyes.
Truly, without a sliver of exaggeration, it had been a long time since she last saw the young lady or Mr. Gu act spoiled.
