Rong Yan waved goodbye to Estelle and walked out of KT Entertainment.
The sun was setting outside, and many people had left work, even the number of nanny vans at the gate had dwindled.
Wearing a baseball cap that covered most of her face, she took out her phone, intending to book a ride using a ride-hailing app. But then her phone rang.
âHello?â
Rong Yan answered the call almost immediately.
Because the caller ID showed it was her daughter Li Duidui!
âMom, where are you?â
âHmm? At the company.â
âArenât you done with work yet?â The milky voice was so tender that it melted hearts.
Rong Yanâs eyes curved into a warm smile, and her voice softened unconsciously, âIâm done, just about to head back. Are you at home? Wait for me for another half an hour, and Iâll be back.â
With a sharp eye, she spotted an empty taxi passing by and hurriedly hailed it, âTaxi!â
The cab driver saw her, made a U-turn, and pulled up in front of her.
Rong Yan opened the back door of the taxi and spoke to the little one on the phone, âDuidui, Iâve got a cab, Iâll be back soon, okay?â
âWait a minute.â
âHmm? Is there something else?â Rong Yan got into the car, pulled the door shut, and said to the driver in front, âTo Dihor Garden.â
On the other end, she bowed her head and spoke to the person on the phone, âCan you wait for Mommy to come back?â
âItâs not that. Mom, Iâm not at home, Iâm atâ¦â His voice paused, clearly reluctant, and he grumbled, âIâm at Daddyâs company, Grandma brought me here, can you come pick me up?â
He was so bored, he didnât want to stay with the bad guy!
Rong Yan could tell from Duiduiâs muffled tone when mentioning Daddy and imagined him pouting unhappily. She pursed her lips and said, âWait for me, Iâm coming to pick you up right away.â
The little one on the phone sounded all excited, âIâll wait for Mom!â
Rong Yan chatted with him for a few more minutes before hanging up.
She immediately told the cab driver after hanging up, âSorry, driver, I wonât be going to Dihor Garden. Please take me to Li Group instead.â
First to one of the most expensive residential areas in Capital City, then to Li Groupâjust who was this young lady?
She couldnât possibly be some important figure, could she? Otherwise, why would she still be taking his cab?
The driver sneaked a peek at her through the rearview mirror and, seeing that Rong Yan was still young, looked confused.
Nevertheless, he turned the car around and drove towards Li Groupâ¦
Li Group headquarters.
The bustling and strictly busy corporate building was more lively than usual at the top-floor CEOâs office.
In the corner of the break room, several assistants were gathered, whispering something to each other.
Gu Ming saw them huddling and chatting animatedly as soon as he arrived. He coughed as he approached, and they all scattered like mice who had seen a cat, hurriedly shutting their mouths and greeting him with pale faces, âAssistant Gu.â
âAssistant Gu.â
Gu Ming frowned and swept his gaze over them, asking displeased, âArenât you supposed to be working? What are you chattering about here?â
The group exchanged glances, with no one daring to answer.
They were talking about the CEO how could they admit it!
Gu Ming was merely asking casually and didnât really expect them to answer. Seeing that they were all too scared to make a sound, he commanded sternly, âGet back to work now, and hand me the reports I asked for later!â
âYes, sir.â As soon as he let them go, they hurriedly scattered, as if afraid of being caught by him!
