Shu Pan listened, dumbfounded. Can it really be like this?
She found it somewhat incomprehensible.
âYou donât know.â her friend continued, âHer target now is Director Lu. Sheâs been accompanying him at all the social gatherings recently. Sheâs been quite arrogant, throwing her weight around. I really canât stand people who behave like this.â Zhao Jie was an honest person who couldnât stand such shady matters.
âThatâs also her skill, ordinary people really couldnât pull that off,â Shu Pan comforted.
She really had been protected too well by Gu Shaoting.
âDonât be envious. At most, sheâll just be someoneâs mistress. I doubt she could become the legal wife,â Zhao Jie said with disdain.
âLetâs eat, itâs all getting cold.â Shu Pan changed the subject, realizing that this woman was public enemy number one at the company, especially among the married women who found her unbearable.
âOkay, itâs really disheartening. But remember, if she ever offends you, you must fight back, understand? Donât just stand there and be bullied,â Zhao Jie, seeing how Shu Pan had naively stepped aside to make way, felt like a fire was burning in her heart.
Shu Pan knew Zhao Jie was standing up for her, so she smiled and said, âI understand. Iâll keep my distance when I see her.â
âThatâs right, the kind-hearted can be taken advantage of. Remember this, especially in a corporate setting. Keep a low profile in your behavior and work, but also have your principles,â Zhao Jie said earnestly.
Shu Pan nodded.
Returning to her office, Shu Pan lay down for a rest, preparing herself for the afternoonâs work efforts.
In the afternoon, Lu Lei brought Xin Xin back to his office, left her in the care of his assistant, and then he headed to Gu Group.
It was his first collaboration with Gu Shaoting, but having met him several times before, he had a good impression. Gu Shaoting seemed very steady and dependable. He had heard that Gu Shaoting had a perfect family, something he envied most, unlike his own failed marriage, which also affected his child.
Thinking this, he arrived; both companies were not far apart.
Upon arrival, Gu Shaoting was already in the office waiting for him.
They needed to confirm the details and sign the contract, which they quickly settled.
With sufficient time, the two of them sat down for a further chat.
They hit it off well, chatting for a while.
Lu Lei remembered Xin Xin was still in his office, so he didnât dare stay too long.
Initially, Xin Xin was quite well-behaved, but after reading for a while, she got bored.
Taking advantage of everyone being busy, she quietly left her fatherâs office. As long as she didnât leave the building, it was fine.
Previously, she often wandered around.
Moreover, there were surveillance cameras everywhere, so it was easy to find out where she was.
Thus, she wandered around as her little feet took her wherever she fancied.
Shu Pan had just dropped off some documents at the secretary pool area. Coming out, she recognized the little girl immediately.
âLittle girl, what are you doing here? Arenât you at kindergarten?â Shu Pan asked gently, unsure if the little girl would recognize her.
But never underestimate a childâs memory. Xin Xin pouted, âWhy is it you again? Always poking your nose into other peopleâs business.â
Shu Pan was somewhat amused; children nowadays were really clever.
âYou shouldnât run around without an adult, itâs dangerous,â Shu Pan still patiently admonished.
âHmph, mind your own business. Are you trying to be my dadâs girlfriend? So youâre trying to win me over first?â Xin Xin said suspiciously, having seen such scenarios on many TV shows.
