Chapter 173 - 168: The World’s Number One Soup
Mu Shuoqian had been in a meeting the entire afternoon while Gu Qili had already taken a nap on the couch. When she woke up, she found herself covered with a thin men’s jacket, still carrying his distinctive scent.
Mu Shuoqian was still sitting in front of the computer, scanning the documents in his hand while listening to the reports from the senior executives in the video. When he saw her wake up, he couldn’t help but glance over.
Gu Qili rubbed her eyes, hugged his jacket tighter, and snuggled back into the couch. She gave him a small wave and mouthed for him to carry on.
Mu Shuoqian suddenly put down the documents and pressed the intercom, instructing in a calm voice: "Bring in the afternoon tea."
The company executives on the video call were all a bit surprised. The President was always most rigorous during meetings—why would he suddenly crave afternoon tea, especially since he didn’t usually have a fondness for sweet treats.
Soon, the secretary came in holding a delivery bag. Receiving an indicating look from Mu Shuoqian, he respectfully placed the afternoon tea on the coffee table in front of Gu Qili.
A glance or two at her was inevitable during the process. As the first woman who could enter the 24th floor and lounge leisurely in the President’s office, her looks were impeccable.
Gu Qili happened to be hungry, mainly bored and idle.
