Chapter 253: She Was Afraid of Pain (3)
Translator: 549690339
At noon, the exhausted Anhao finally woke up from her nightmare. She had a simple meal with Huang Amao, who had also woken up at this time, and was forced to take Zuo Hancheng’s car back to A City.
He didn’t have to go to the concert tonight. Huang Amao was still brooding over the incident where he was dumped on the mountain by a certain celebrity last night.
Although he indeed didn’t need to care about irrational fans like you, the love and infatuation in his heart was still shattered by reality. There was no point in watching this concert.
When she returned to A City, she sent Huang Amao to her current residence. After that, Anhao thought that Zuo Hancheng would bring her back to Liu Jing Garden.
However, he didn’t expect that he would drive to Shengling Group. When he got out of the car, he didn’t even look back and entered the company.
Anhao stood in the car for a long time until the company’s security guard came over and was about to drive President Zuo’s car into the underground parking lot. Suddenly, he saw Gu Anhao sitting inside and immediately nodded at her politely.”Miss Gu, President Zuo has an urgent high-level meeting in five minutes and can’t be delayed, so I’ll help President Zuo drive this car into the parking lot. Miss Gu, do you want to get off now or rest in the car?”
Meeting?
It was only then that Anhao remembered that Zuo Hancheng had just been discharged from the hospital and returned to the company not long ago. There were still many urgent matters that needed to be dealt with, but he had actually spent the past two days looking for her. He drove all the way back to A City with his injuries that had not yet recovered, but he could not delay the urgent meeting any longer.
She had been unwilling to admit that she had been impulsive or wrong, but when she realized that she had delayed many of Zuo Hancheng’s important matters, she did not say anything. After a moment of silence, she nodded at the security guard outside the car and said, “I’ll get out of the car.”
As she spoke, she picked up her bag and got out of the car until she saw the security guard drive the car to the parking lot. She stood in the wide square in front of Shengling Group like a human pillar, not knowing whether to go in or take a taxi back to Liujing Garden first.
After standing in the square for a while, she was still in a state where no one cared about her. In the past, no matter how busy Zuo Hancheng was, he would take care of her. He would tell her before he left or send someone to take her somewhere.
However, she had been standing there for almost 15 minutes. He did not ask
anyone to arrange a place for her to rest. It was as if he had forgotten about her.
Was he trying to teach her a lesson?
Anhao silently counted in her heart. If Zuo Hancheng still did not send her a message or send someone over, she would leave immediately. She did not want to embarrass herself here and be scrutinized by the passing employees with strange looks.
One, two, three…Nine… Ten…
After she recited the ten numbers, she turned around and suddenly saw two extended high-end business cars parked near the square. A few well-dressed people came out from them. They looked like people of extraordinary status. There were two foreigners among them, and they were holding documents and files in their hands.
These people should be here to attend the meeting, right?
It seemed like a really important meeting.
She felt inexplicably guilty, but who was Anhao? She was Gu Anhao. Since she was the one who ran away first, even if she was crippled, she had to stand up and walk back. She would not bow down and admit her mistake.
She raised her hand and wiped her nose. She raised her head and swaggered to the roadside to hail a taxi. She did not look like a child who had realized that she had done something wrong. Instead, her eyes were filled with stubbornness and unyielding spirit.
In the spacious and bright high-class conference room of Shengling Group, the people sitting there were all looking at the various data statistics and pattern analysis on the screen in silence.
Lin Qing gently pushed open the door of the meeting room and walked in. He walked behind Zuo Hancheng without disturbing anyone.
She bent down behind Zuo Hancheng and said in a voice that only he could hear,””President Zuo, Miss Gu has already left. She took a taxi and left. Looking at the direction, she should be going home.”
Zuo Hancheng did not seem to hear him, and his gaze was still fixed on the screen.
But Lin Qing remembered what President Zuo had told him before he entered the meeting room, so he continued to whisper in his ear, “”1’11 call the security department of Liujing Garden in half an hour to confirm if Miss Gu has returned safely.”
After she finished speaking, she did not wait for Zuo Hancheng’s response. She turned around and left the meeting room quietly.
“What’s wrong with President Zuo today? Even though he was usually serious, he would occasionally give people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. Why did it feel like he had just come out of an icehouse today? It was so cold that it was scary.”
“Isn’t that so? I heard that Director Xu from the Planning Department and Manager Zhao from the statistics office were both approved today.”
“Didn’t President Zuo just stay in the hospital some time ago? I’ve just returned to the company, and I suddenly went out for two days. When I came back today, I was like a cold-faced Yama. I saw that the secretaries in the top floor secretary’s office were all carefully taking a detour today, afraid that they would lose their jobs because of the Left Headquarters.”
“It shouldn’t be, right? President Zuo has always been a person who can distinguish between public and private grudges. He shouldn’t fire his subordinates so easily unless the other party has done something very wrong…”
“I heard that Manager Zhao from the statistics department didn’t check the statistics clearly today. There was an extra zero, causing the company to almost bear a loss of hundreds of millions. That’s why President Zuo flew into a rage. However, in the past, even if President Zuo was unhappy, he wouldn’t fly into a rage like this. President Zuo is really going to freeze to death today…” Mobu had just come out of the meeting room after working on a few hours of documents. He heard a few female employees on the same floor quietly chatting in the coffee room not far away. When he walked past the door and heard these words, he only paused for a moment before entering the elevator.
When she reached the top floor, she walked straight to the president’s office. When she pushed the door open, she saw Zuo Hancheng looking at a row of numbers on the screen. His expression was indeed as the female employees had said, it was much colder than usual.
However, it was too exaggerated to call him a cold-faced Yama. President Zuo was clearly such a serious and unapproachable person when he was in the United States. After returning to China in recent years, he had to adapt to the local customs and interpersonal relationships. He had already given people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
Seeing President Zuo’s expression now, Mobai more or less guessed that it was probably because of Gu Anhao. He did not say much and just walked over to place the meeting documents on the desk in front of him.
“President Zuo, I’ve sent all the things that you need to handle personally to your private email. If you’re too tired, you can go back and rest first.”
“No need.” Zuo Hancheng’s gaze never left the screen..
