It was already one oâclock in the afternoon after the meeting. Gu Yusheng was worried about Qin Zhiâai, so he called the house after he got back to his office.
The housekeeper picked up the phone. âMr. Gu?â
Gu Yusheng ignored her greeting and went directly to the point. âIs Miss all right?â
âMiss is fine,â the housekeeper said.
âHas she thrown up again?â Gu Yusheng asked.
âNo, I made her some hot oatmeal like you asked. Miss seemed to have a good appetite, seeing as she had two small bowls of it.â The housekeeper sounded like she was a little proud of her cooking.
Gu Yusheng sighed in relief. It seemed like Qin Zhiâai was fine, but he was still slightly worried. He thought for a while and said, âWatch her closely. If you see that sheâs having any problems, please let me know immediately.â
After giving the housekeeper instructions, Gu Yusheng worried that it would be too late if he waited for the housekeeper to report to him if Qin Zhiâai had a problem. He changed his mind and said, âNever mind. Can you call Dr. Xia right now? Ask him to come to the house and give Miss a full body check-up so we know sheâs fine.â
âRight now?â the housekeeper asked in concern.
âYes, whatâs the problem with that?â Gu Yusheng asked.
âMiss just left the house,â the housekeeper said.
Gu Yusheng was mad before the housekeeper even finished her sentence. âWent out? Why didnât you tell me she went out? Didnât I tell you to report to me before I left earlier? She isnât feeling well, and you needed keep her at home and take good care of her.â
The housekeeper muttered, âI did ask her not to go out, but Miss said there was something urgent going on at work. She had to go.â
âWhy didnât you go with her?â Gu Yusheng became angrier. âWhat if she doesnât feel well while sheâs out? No matter what I ask, you never do anything right. What are you just waiting there for? Call her now to see if sheâs okay.â
â¦
Gu Yusheng cursed the dumb housekeeper in his head after he hung up the phone.
The housekeeper called him back two minutes later, letting him know Qin Zhiâai was all right. Gu Yusheng opened his laptop and started to work after he heard Qin Zhiâai was fine.
Gu Company had a regular shareholdersâ meeting at three thirty.
Gu Yushengâs grandfather hadnât been in charge of any business at the company for a few years, but he still came to the shareholdersâ meetings sometimes.
The meeting ended at four thirty, but Gu Yushengâs grandpa didnât leave immediately. Instead, he went to Gu Yushengâs office.
Gu Yusheng knew his grandpa must have had something to talk to him about. He asked his secretary to make some tea for his grandpa, and after he talked with the research manager, he speed dialed his secretary and asked her not to let anyone in before he walked to the sofa where his grandpa was sitting. He took a seat in an armchair next to him.
Gu Yusheng picked up the tea pot and poured some tea into his grandpaâs tea cup, then poured himself some. He picked up his cup and took a sip before he asked his grandpa, âSo what is it?â
After Gu Yusheng asked this question, Gu Yushengâs grandpa stared at Gu Yusheng sipping his tea for a while before he asked, âYusheng, how is everything between you and Xiaokou?â
If this had happened earlier, Gu Yusheng would have pretended that he hadnât heard his grandpaâs question. However, he found that he didnât even feel annoyed when his grandpa tried to learn about his business this time. He even joked with him. âDonât you have anything else to talk about besides her?â
