Chapter 423: Chapter 425: Furious Outburst
Ever since Cheng Junnan went back the night before last, he hadn’t been himself.
It’s not his body, but his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt his previous behavior in the office was outrageous, even to the point of inciting public anger.
No wonder every time Gu Tiantian saw him, her eyes were filled with guarded caution.
Yet, right now his heart was entirely focused on Gu Tiantian, and even if he wanted to forget, he couldn’t, so he had to bury himself in work.
Unfortunately, Haitian Entertainment hasn’t been quiet recently; the news about Li Minghao and Dai Ke’er was getting more and more intense, even starting to affect the company’s other celebrities and its reputation.
When Gu Tiantian called, Cheng Junnan was in a meeting. He, who was always as gentle as jade and elegant in demeanor, lost his temper at the meeting for the first time.
He even decisively put Li Minghao on ice, and as for Dai Ke’er, it’s exactly the time to discuss the decision about her.
"As for Dai Ke’er, terminate her contract immediately. Whether she agrees or not, it must be terminated. The company will pay the penalty fee. Let Zhang Haiyang handle this; he has a lot of experience!"
"President Cheng, isn’t this a bit too much?"
A senior executive questioned, but before he could finish speaking, he saw President Cheng, with a sullen face, suddenly pick up the phone and answer it with a harsh tone.
"What is it?"
Hearing Cheng Junnan’s voice full of anger, Gu Tiantian was taken aback.
But luckily, she had seen Cheng Junnan angry before, and it was directed at her, so Gu Tiantian quickly calmed down, lowered her eyelids to look at her toes, and spoke lightly.
"President Cheng, my grandma is inviting you over for a meal to thank you for your help last time."
Cheng Junnan was momentarily taken aback and quickly glanced at the caller ID.
Unexpectedly, it was Gu Tiantian.
Thinking about his tone just now, Cheng Junnan’s expression became unpredictable, and as the senior executives in the company were holding their breath, wishing to turn invisible, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
"Okay, I got it. When is it?"
Listening to Cheng Junnan’s voice turning gentle on the other end, Gu Tiantian was not moved at all.
"Grandma said, ’There’s no time like the present,’ so let’s have lunch today. She’s about to go out to buy groceries; the market is just downstairs, so she’ll be back soon."
This indirectly conveyed to Cheng Junnan the time for the meal.
But Gu Tiantian didn’t want to have anything to do with him, so everything she said was from Grandma’s perspective.
Cheng Junnan was still immersed in the joy of Gu Tiantian calling him and inviting him for a meal, completely unaware that she was speaking from Grandma Gu’s position.
"Alright, I still have some things to deal with, but I should be able to make it just in time once I’m done."
Gu Tiantian listened and gently acknowledged with a hum.
"That’s it then; I’ll hang up first."
Cheng Junnan said goodbye, his expression gentle as water, and his voice even gentler.
The company executives in the office were left dumbfounded, ears perked up like radars, their eyes wandering around exchanging thoughts.
"What’s going on?"
"Who knows!"
"Is President Cheng in love?"
"Seems like it!"
"What do you mean ’seems like it’? It’s a must! Although President Cheng had numerous rumors before, when have you ever seen him take a personal call during a meeting?"
"That’s not quite right. President Cheng occasionally takes personal calls during meetings, but those are generally from the chairman’s side, as for women... they’re always routed through the secretariat."
"Yeah, absolutely, and look at President Cheng’s expression... Clearly, he is very invested in his current girlfriend. He was still in a rage, yet spoke so kindly and gently, like water, to whoever it was. Definitely something romantic going on!"
