The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!

Chapter 588: I Am a Single Mother

Gu Qingqian thought of this and couldn’t help but curl his lips.

Ms. Zhao came in with him and greeted, "Everyone, please put down what you’re doing. Mr. Gu has a few words to say."

The man spoke calmly, "Today I officially start at the company, serving as the manager of our department. I’ll be needing everyone’s support in the future."

What an arrogant tone!

But when the boss speaks, everyone still has to show respect, so they all clapped enthusiastically together.

"I reviewed everyone’s performance from last month and to be frank, I’m not very satisfied," Gu Qingqian remained composed, "The company is in the midst of developing a new APP, a perfect opportunity for everyone to showcase their talents. I now need to form a special team that I will personally lead, specifically to coordinate with the product and operations departments. I’ve already made a preliminary selection of the members."

Having said this, he glanced at Ms. Zhao, signaling for her to make the announcement.

And then his gaze shifted to Mu Yiliang.

Mu Yiliang immediately had a bad feeling, and sure enough, her name was the first one she heard!

At this moment, Gu Qingqian felt a bit conflicted too. He really didn’t expect that this woman actually had some skills! Last night, he had specifically pulled up the department’s individual performance assessment for the previous month, only to find that this woman ranked first! Not only were the programs she developed smooth and user-friendly, but they also had an indescribable harmonious beauty.

It was this sense of harmony that made him realize this woman had talent! Anyone can write code, but what most people don’t know is that coding is also an art!

So, to achieve results, he needs to make good use of this woman! Just look at how lackadaisical she had been before he arrived, even having the leisure to browse Taobao!

He would give this woman a raise, but she shouldn’t expect to just coast through her days as before!

Quickly, the list was announced, and Ms. Zhao asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

Someone raised their hand.

All eyes were on her.

Mu Yiliang remained composed: "May I ask... will this special team require overtime?"

"When necessary, of course!" Gu Qingqian said with a stern face.

"That won’t work," Mu Yiliang flatly refused, "I can’t work overtime; I have to go home to make dinner for my son in the evenings!"

The whole office displayed expressions of disbelief! Son, son, always the son! It was one thing to use it as an excuse to decline their invitations before, but now, even though the boss had made it clear he planned to rely on her, she dared to throw down the gauntlet!

Gu Qingqian’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot!

He nearly spat out his words through gritted teeth: "You have a son? Why did your resume say single!"

"I’m a single mother! My son is already seven years old!" Mu Yiliang said with a proud tone.

Gu Qingqian was about to lose his mind!

Could this woman be deliberately trying to undermine him? A single mother? Does she think she can easily fool him?

Look at her face full of collagen! A seven-year-old son? Was she sixteen when she gave birth?

"That’s not an excuse!" Gu Qingqian said coldly, "If you’re worried, I can send someone to your home to cook for your son!"

"I see..." Mu Yiliang thought for a moment, then still shook her head, "My son is very picky about his food."

"Three-star Michelin Chef level!" Gu Qingqian’s voice turned even colder.

Only then did Mu Yiliang reluctantly nod: "Alright, I have no problem then."

Gu Qingqian was about to faint from anger! He said with a stern face, "Those on the list, follow me to the conference room for a meeting!"
