Chapter 785 - 788: Mr. begs you to go home, Chenxing 5_1
Such leisurely days stretched on for a week.
Gu Shaocheng, almost treating it like a holiday, retreated from the city’s hustle and bustle, and spent each day splashing around in the sea with her. Chenxing finally stopped acting strange around Gu Shaocheng and even uncharacteristically knitted him a thin scarf.
Though it was nearly April, there were still the occasional bouts of cold weather.
One day, Gu Shaocheng, uncharacteristically, arrived early at the Gu Building for a board meeting. His mood was extraordinarily good, and an unusually soft expression hung on his face throughout the meeting.
About the only nervous one was Secretary C, nestled away in a corner of the meeting room, who checked the air conditioner multiple times, quietly gauging whether the temperature in the room was set too low. Sir kept his scarf on throughout, could it be because he was cold?
She carefully speculated in her mind.
Should she turn up the room temperature? While she was still unsure, the secret chat group erupted:
Secretary B: Haha, Sir complimented me today, said he’s increasing my salary for my recent hard work. I’m so giddy...
Secretary E: He complimented you, too? He also complimented me today and said he was raising my salary. What’s going on? I worked so hard last month that I fell ill and Sir didn’t mention increasing my salary then...
Secretary T: You guys all got a raise?
Secretary C: You guys are all here, perfect timing, please help me figure out if it’s especially cold in the room today. Sir’s been wearing his sweater and scarf the whole day, is he cold? Sir rarely comes to the office, so I’m unsure of his preferred room temperature. Even in winter when it’s freezing cold, he only wears a shirt when he comes to the office. My heart can’t take this, I’m dying of anxiety!
Secretary F: I made some private inquiries. It seems that scarf was knitted by Miss Chen Xing.
Secretary C: ? So, it’s not because of the room temperature, but Sir wants to show off his love? Phew, you scared me. I was worried that I’d set the room temperature too low and that Sir would be unhappy and dock my pay.
Secretary T: No, no, Sir was in an especially good mood today. Anyone he met, he gave a pay raise!
Secretary C: But wasn’t there some kind of issue between Miss Chen Xing and Sir a while back. I watched that competition too, it seemed like Sir was about to break up with Miss Chen Xing...
Secretary E: Between couples, isn’t it normal to have fights? I frequently have arguments with my significant other. One moment, I hate him so much I could die, and the next, it’s like we’re joined at the hip and he’s the one I’m destined to be with for life.
Secretary B: Exactly. Sir has always been very affectionate towards Miss Chen Xing. But Miss Chen Xing is really bold to publicly make her move at the competition, and Sir didn’t even show up. If it were me, I’d be devastated.
Secretary C: Some people say that Miss Chen Xing did that for the competition...well, you know.
Secretary T: Impossible! If Miss Chen Xing wanted to win the competition, Sir could have easily manipulated things for her with just a snap of his fingers. Why would she need to put herself through that? Today’s reporters like to make up stories...
Secretary F: I also think so. A while ago, didn’t Sir overwork himself because he had a falling out with Miss Chen Xing? Those were some scary days. I got yelled at by Sir several times. For the rest of my life, I’ll be lighting incense in prayer that they never fight again.
Secretary BCET: I got yelled at too. God help us.
Secretary F: That’s why we should cozy up to Miss Chen Xing if we want a raise without being scolded.
Secretary T: F nailed it.
Secretary B: F nailed it +1
Secretary C: F nailed it +2
Secretary E: F nailed it +3
