Chapter 249 - Gu Nianshen, I Would Like You To Bring Xiaoyu And I To Dinner

Gu Nianshen leaned into his chair while one hand was placed loosely in front of his forehead.

There was a frown on his face, which conveyed how he would soon lose his patience.

Ever since he had added Lin Yiqian on WeChat, he had never switched off his notifications. A sudden notification distracted him from the meeting as he glanced at the screen of his phone. As soon as he saw the word ‘Dummy’, he immediately sat up straight.

His sudden motion caused the high-ranking employees who were in the midst of a heated argument to instantly stop speaking. They turned to look at Gu Nianshen unanimously.

However, Gu Nianshen ignored them and continued to read through Lin Yiqian’s message.

When he saw the words ‘bring you’, he felt annoyed. “Are you bringing me out?” He replied.

Was he a three-year-old who needed an adult’s supervision?

“I meant to ask you to bring Xiaoyu and I out for dinner. I have made a mistake in writing. Please forgive me, Boss.” Lin Yiqian immediately responded.

Chuckle.

Gu Nianshen could not stop himself from chuckling when he read the words ‘please forgive me, Boss’.

He was laughing so hard that his shoulders shook. The older managers were in shock to see their proud CEO laughing in such a manner.

Gu Nianshen was beginning to look like a foolish boy from around the block.

All of a sudden, he realized that everyone was looking at him and he immediately stopped himself.

With the serious face he put on, the group of employees immediately shifted their gaze away and continued to discuss work as if nothing had happened.

“Do you think I am very free?” Gu Nianshen replied to Lin Yiqian.

How dare this dummy promised to bring Xiaoyu to dinner without his permission. Did she not know that people lined up to have a meal with him?

After he had sent the message, he held his phone tightly in his hand. However, Lin Yiqian did not replied even after a long time had passed.

Had she given up this easily?

After ten minutes had passed, there was still neither sound nor sight of a message from Lin Yiqian. He was beggining to feel impatient.

“What is all this fuss about?” Gu Nianshen roared as the entire meeting room became silent.

Then, Gu Nianshen began speaking again. “There is nothing wrong with our previous proposal. The ‘Marketing’ and ‘Planning’ departments will each send a representative to the new city to monitor each other’s work. If something goes wrong, it’s a testament that the management of both departments are at fault and the leaders will have to be replaced.”

Gu Nianshen lifted himself out of his seat before pushing the chair away and storming out of the room.

His fierce aura had caused everyone in the room to hold their breaths.

Once Gu Nianshen had stepped out, the staff in the room turned to look at each other.

After their long-drawn discussion, this fellow had resolved the issue with a single sentence.

Despite their reluctance to accept his decision, they had no choice but to do as he had said. After all, Gu Nianshen was the boss.

Right then, they finally understood that whatever they said would be insignificant in comparison to their boss’s words.

***

Qi Shaodong, who stood outside of the meeting room, greeted Gu Nianshen with a smile as soon as he saw him. “Chief.”

Gu Nianshen did not stop walking as he gave his orders. “Call them and tell them I won’t be attending the dinner event tonight.”

“Not... Not attending?” Qi Shaodong was stunned.

The people Gu Nianshen was supposed to meet had already arrived and were waiting for him after the first dish was served. It would be impolite to raincheck on them at such short notice.

“Was I not being clear enough?” Gu Nianshen stopped walking as he frowned at Qi Shaodong.

“I know what to do.” Qi Shaodong immediately shook his head.

Without hesitating further, Qi Shaodong began to make a call on his phone.

After being blocked on WeChat for no apparent reason, Qi Shaodong was afraid that Gu Nianshen might fire him from the company if he made him upset even further.
