The assistant had started the engine and stepped on the gas pedal. At that instruction, he slammed on the brakes and the car screeched to a halt. The inertia threw Gu Yu forward, and his head almost hit against the back of the front seat.
The assistant's heart trembled as he apologized timidly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. It was my mistake."
Gu Yu frowned, but he didn't pursue the matter. In fact, the corners of his lips turned up imperceptibly as he leaned back gracefully on the seat and said, "Drive."
The assistant sighed at having gotten away with this infraction. However, the business dinner tonight was with people from the government. It had already been postponed twice. Wasn't postponing it a third time a bad idea?
What on earth was so urgent back at the apartment that Mr. Gu had to return home right away?
At that thought, the assistant steeled himself and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you mean to postpone tonight's business dinner again?"
"Yeah."
