Chapter 1410. Who Will Compromise? 3
Even though Gu Qiwu got bail, he could not leave City Z immediately. In the time that came, he stayed at the Gu family mansion, and only managed Hui Gu remotely.
It was great that the higher management of the company handled things well, so the crisis this time around was still manageable in terms of how it affected Hui Gu.
After Doris’s incident, things seemed to have slowly quieted down. The entire city soon returned to its usual calm.
With the days that passed, the New Year grew closer. There was a lot of work closer to the end of the year. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye both started work early and ended late, what more Su Chen and the rest. For quite a while, apart from the occasional phone call, they did not have time to meet up.
The weather grew colder and colder. After the huge snowfall in the north when a cold wave quietly struck City Z, Elder Mu and Mu Yinan went to meet Gu Qiwu at Bamboo Teahouse while he was sick.
Gu Qiwu was not as cold as he usually was before Mu Yinan. Only his quiet, apologetic behavior remained. At least, when he faced Mu Yinan, he could not help but hold himself back.
Mu Yinan was a man who had gone through many hardships. Right now, sitting before Gu Qiwu, he was calm. His peaceful eyes did not shift much, but when he looked at Gu Qiwu, the latter felt pressured in ways he did not understand.
Gu Qiwu did not even know how to begin. From what he remembered, he probably had not sat like this with Mu Yinan for decades now.
After a while, Mu Yinan suddenly frowned. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and coughed for a long while until there was sweat on his forehead.
