"Alright, I'll get Yichen to come pick you up." It was getting late. Gu Ruochu learned from her secretary that Huo Nanchen was still in his office. He had a meeting to attend.
The meeting was at eight o'clock. There were still forty minutes before the meeting. Gu Ruochu dialed Huo Nanchen's number on her phone and made the call. "Huo Nanchen, I have something to talk to you about..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Nanchen hung up without saying a word.
"He hung up?"
Gu Ruochu's heart was filled with anger. She guessed that he must have felt guilty over the piece of land she had just failed bidding on.
As she got into the car, she called him again. This time, the call was cut off before it even connected.
"Huo...
"What the f*ck!"
At the office, a female secretary who was sorting through some documents suddenly felt uneasy. She raised her head and saw that the pen in her boss's hand was almost deformed between his two slender fingers.
She subconsciously took two steps back. Her instincts told her he was furious.
Huo Nanchen looked at his WeChat. Huo Zirui had just posted a few photos. Gu Ruochu and an unidentified man were whispering in each other's ears as if they were talking about something very intimate.
Huo Nanchen was enraged. He had never felt this angry before.
Even though Rong Xiao was outside the car, he could feel Gu Ruochu's anger and the aura of a storm brewing.
"Very good, he's not picking up my calls!" Gu Ruochu held the steering wheel with one hand and pressed the tip of her tongue against her lips. She then started the engine and headed straight for the office.
This couple was a pair of savage beasts. Master Qi was not planning on fighting with her husband, was she?
Rong Xiao shuddered at the thought of the two facing each other like they were on Shura battlefield. He wondered who would come out on top this time.
Gu Ruochu pushed open the car door and headed straight for the main entrance of the office.
"Hello, may I know who you're looking for?"
"I'm looking for Huo Nanchen."
The receptionist could not help but glance at her when she heard the name.
She had dared to call out the boss's name in such a manner. This was unheard of.
"My lady, do you have an appointment?"
"No. Tell him that my name is Gu Ruochu." Gu Ruochu tapped her fingers on the front desk in an imposing manner.
The lady at the front desk remained calm. A gentle smile appeared on her face as she said, "I'm sorry, my lady. Without an appointment, you won't be able to see President Huo."
Gu Ruochu was just about to speak when she heard a puzzled male voice behind her. "Gu Ruochu?"
Tang Luo recalled that the boss's wife's name was Gu Ruochu.
Gu Ruochu turned around and saw a well-dressed young man. He looked like a manager in this establishment. He walked towards her. "Is that the Madam? I'll go up and report to the boss about the meeting. I'll bring you in."
"All right, thank you."
When she heard Tang Luo address her as Madam, the receptionist opened her mouth wide enough to fit an egg.
'The president... The president's wife?'
"You're too kind, Madam." Tang Luo smiled and sized up the legendary Young Madam without batting an eyelid. Gu Yanwei could not compare to her temperament, beauty, and upbringing.
'Why was there such a huge gap between them?' Tang Luo wondered how the rumors about the Young Madam had spread in the company.
'Seeing was believing, but he had heard so many rumors about her. However, he had finally found out the truth.
The thought ran through Tang Luo's mind as he led Gu Ruochu to the 78th floor. There were still 30 minutes before the meeting began. Gu Ruochu strode towards Huo Nanchen's office.
