Chapter 55 - The Mysterious Wife
“Gu Shen, I’m currently downstairs in your company. Can you get someone to come down and pick me up?” Yan Xi dragged her voice. Her voice was soft and sweet like a bunch of large cotton candy.
Perhaps because she felt that her attitude was not strong enough, she added at the end, “I came specially to see you. I’ll be very disappointed if I don’t see you, so come quickly…”
Although the speaker was not on, everyone heard the conversation clearly in the quiet environment. All the executives and secretaries lowered their heads in unison, secretly exchanging their excitement and gossip.
Gu Shen leaned against the edge of the table with one hand, the pen in his hand rotating slightly. His expression was calm, but the corners of his mouth curled up.
“Got it. Just wait.”
His words were short, but nonetheless it put Yan Xi at ease. She said obediently, “Okay, I’ll be at the front desk.”
cBefore the people in the meeting room could react, Gu Shen gently knocked on the table a few times and instructed coldly, “Let’s take a short break.”
Then, he signaled his secretary to push him down. After the two of them disappeared, the room erupted.
“Madam is actually here! Oh my god, I really want to go down and take a look!” A girl with a ponytail wanted to rush out immediately and hug this Madam who was able to tame their CEO.
“…”
…
Downstairs, the receptionist looked at Yan Xi in a daze. She did not expect to see someone talk to the CEO of this company with such a coquettish tone, and she could faintly hear indulgence in the way her CEO talked to this woman.
At that moment, the receptionist was extremely glad that she did not say anything offensive. “I’m sorry, Madam. It was my fault to not recognize you. You can go straight up if you wish.”
Yan Xi did not give her a hard time. She said, “It’s alright, you remember me now!”
The receptionist heaved a sigh of relief and was touched. How she wished her CEO was as considerate as his wife.
Yan Xi thought that Gu Shen would send Gu Yi or a secretary down, but she did not expect him to come personally.
Gu Shen said, his cold voice entering Yan Xi’s ears, “What are you standing there for? Aren’t you here to see me?”
“I am, I came specially to see you.” Yan Xi walked up and took the wheelchair from the secretary. “There is a saying. I found it to be very true today.”
“What is it?”
“Men at work are the most handsome!”
Gu Shen coughed, throwing a look at his secretary who immediately moved away a few steps to the side and pretended not to hear anything.<
The elevator stopped quickly. Yan Xi followed Gu Shen to the waiting room. She walked to the French window and looked around curiously, like a little animal that just woke up from hibernation.
After looking around, she returned to Gu Shen. “You still have things to do, right? I’ll sit here and won’t disturb you anymore.”
Gu Shen nodded. Indeed, there was still a meeting he had to attend.
However, when he saw Yan Xi looking around curiously, he called his secretary over. “Take good care of Madam and do as she says.”
The secretary calmly agreed. “Yes.”
…
In the meeting room, the meeting continued. While Gu Shen listened to the managers, he put on his usual cold persona, completely different from the person a little while ago.
While Gu Shen’s attention was still on the proposal, some managers secretly took out their phones to chat.
The receptionist excitedly shared the scene of her encounter with Madam in the company’s CEOless group just now, making everyone excited and curious.
“What does Madam look like? I’m getting more and more curious. Is she the housewife type?”
“By the way, wasn’t Secretary Wang there just now? Ask her!”
