Chapter 268: Spouses Quarrel
An Junxi kissed her daughter’s little mouth, "Baby, when you grow up and go to kindergarten, mommy will start working." Women without work are never quite stable.
She lulled her daughter to sleep in the toddler bed, but Gu Yikun still hadn’t come over.
An Junxi went downstairs to get the bags containing lingerie and put them at the bottom of the wardrobe; she wouldn’t need them anymore.
She went to bed alone at night, not knowing what time Gu Yikun came over. In the morning, she felt someone kissed her forehead before leaving.
An Junxi slept a bit more, gradually waking up. She reached out and touched her forehead; was it just a hallucination?
Gu Aixi still hadn’t woken up. She went to wash up and went downstairs. Gu Yikun had already left for the company.
Nanny He asked, "Jun Xi, did you argue with the young master?"
An Junxi shook her head, seeing the pile of stuff she bought yesterday still in the living room, having no desire to look at them. "Nanny He, help me move these things to the storage room."
Gu Yikun went to the company early in the morning. Secretary Wang noticed the president’s bad expression, her inner alarm bells ringing.
Ever since Miss An... no, ever since Mrs. Gu returned, the president’s mood has been very good every day, sometimes giving quite a few company benefits. Why is today different?
Could it be a couple’s quarrel?
Secretary Wang nervously walked into the office, "President, this is your schedule for today. Miss He will come to discuss the new hotel’s jewelry exhibition at eleven."
Gu Yikun didn’t look at the schedule. Leaning back in his chair, he irritably ran his fingers through his hair. "Secretary Wang, have you ever argued with your husband?"
He left so early, and she didn’t even send a single message.
Gu Yikun thought women are really inexplicable. Why wouldn’t she tell him directly if she was upset? He had no idea why she was sulking.
In fact, the person who should be most angry should be him.
He pushed aside the documents on the desk, unable to focus on anything.
Secretary Wang hearing the president ask this questioned, it was confirmed a couple’s quarrel.
Mrs. Gu is really impressive, actually daring to argue with the president. When the president is in a bad mood, it’s always them who suffer!
Secretary Wang said, "When a couple lives together for a long time, of course, there will be conflicts. The important thing is to know the cause; that way, the problem can be solved. If the cause can’t be found... the president should give in more. When the wife’s anger subsides, everything will be better."
Gu Yikun said, "I have given in to her in every possible way, letting her do whatever she pleases. I’m almost at my limit..."
Secretary Wang pricked up her ears; employees and the media are equally gossip-hungry about the president’s private affairs.
Gu Yikun stopped mid-sentence, realizing it would damage his authority to discuss this with Secretary Wang. He cleared his throat, "Never mind, you can go out now."
Secretary Wang walked out, almost hearing the juicy details of the president’s quarrel with his wife, how unfortunate!
From the president’s words, it was clear the president was exceptionally good to his wife. Unexpectedly, the president, who is a tough face at the company, has no principles before his wife.
Mrs. Gu is truly amazing. She has to ask her for some advice someday.
Secretary Wang sat at her desk when suddenly You Lifen appeared. "Sister Wang, has Yu Zheng returned?"
Secretary Wang wished she could crawl under the desk; why can’t she have a moment of peace!
Since Mrs. Gu returned, she had been glad she didn’t need to deal with this lady, but things did not go as wished, who would have thought Miss You would shift her attention to Yu Zheng?
Yu Zheng applied for a business trip to avoid You Lifen. He left quite decisively, leaving Secretary Wang to deal with the trouble!
Secretary Wang had called Yu Zheng more than once, "When are you coming back? Your troublesome You Lifen has been driving me crazy. My menopause has come early because of her!"
Yu Zheng told her not to bother with You Lifen and to call security to escort her out.
Yu Zheng had no idea which nerve of You Lifen had gone wrong, blocking the entrances of both the Gu Family and his house all day long. He couldn’t go home and had to go abroad to stay away for a while.
Miss You is just too bored. He planned to return once she stopped her madness and resumed normal behavior.
Secretary Wang practically begged Yu Zheng to come back, "She is You Li’s eldest daughter, our partner. How could we call security?"
Yu Zheng said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Wang. I’ll bring you a souvenir when I return."
And just like that, Secretary Wang was hung up on. Why was Yu Zheng adopting Zha Zhuoxin’s strategy of plugging her mouth with a souvenir?
These two presidential assistants are such a headache!
"Miss You, Yu Zheng is still abroad; when he returns, I’ll notify you."
You Lifen took out a stack of coupons from her purse, "The producer gave these to me, all discount vouchers for boutique stores, directly redeemable for cash without any limit. I was initially going to give them to the company’s staff, but now I’m giving them all to you."
Secretary Wang glanced at it; wow, these boutiques usually have difficult-to-attain memberships. She wouldn’t dare buy without discounts, but now this stack directly redeemable for cash... the conservative estimate should be over 200,000.
"Miss You, this... I can’t accept it without merit; please don’t be so polite."
You Lifen said, "Tell me where Yu Zheng is on his business trip and for how long, and these are yours."
Secretary Wang struggled internally. On one side was her dear colleague, on the other was the tempting lure of money. How should she choose?
"Miss You, Yu Zheng’s business trip details are company secrets to some extent; it can’t be revealed. Please don’t make things hard for me. Yu Zheng handles crucial projects for the president, and if competitors know his itinerary, it could affect the project."
Seeing Secretary Wang’s firm stance, You Lifen put the discount vouchers back in her purse, "If you won’t tell, I’ll ask your boss’s wife!"
Secretary Wang regretfully watched that stack of vouchers, all that money! How unfortunate!
Soon after You Lifen left, Miss He arrived.
Secretary Wang noticed that Miss He always dressed elegantly and sensually whenever she visited. As a woman, she could sense that Miss He had ulterior motives.
Since Miss He returned to develop her career, she had been visiting Gu Family too frequently.
She informed Miss He, "Miss He, the president is inside, please go ahead."
He Sirui walked into the office; the details of the jewelry exhibition had long been finalized, yet she always found excuses to see him.
Seeing President Gu today, she knew she made the right call, "Yi Ke, you’re in a bad mood?"
At times like this, what President Gu needed most was a caring woman by his side, and she happened to appear. Wasn’t this her chance?
Gu Yikun didn’t talk about personal matters, "If any changes are needed, just discuss them with Manager Gao."
He Sirui lightly tossed her long, wavy hair. The subtle scent of her perfume drifted in the air, "I still want to hear President Gu’s opinion. President Gu, please don’t find me annoying."
Gu Yikun paid little attention, "Go ahead."
He Sirui opened the documents in her hand but started discussing something else, "Are you having problems with Mrs. Gu? I’m also a woman; women’s hearts are like needles underwater. Rather than you worrying alone, you can tell me. I understand women’s minds."
Gu Yikun rarely discussed personal matters with others, but thinking of An Junxi’s cold attitude, he couldn’t help but say, "I don’t know why she’s angry."
