Charlie glanced at the clock and rubbed his stomach. “It’s already eleven o’clock. You won’t be considered absent from work if you leave now, right? Why not say you’re accompanying a client? The client didn’t have breakfast, and his stomach is already growling from hunger.”
“Alright, I’ll explain, and we can leave.” Song Fan also turned off her computer. She knew that going out with Charlie would help her establish her authority.
While waiting for the elevator, Song Yi received the news and rushed over. Lan Yue, the spy, deliberately waited a few minutes before telling him.
“Mr. Brown, are you leaving already?” Song Yi tried hard to catch his breath, but it couldn’t hide the fact that he had rushed over just now.
Charlie still had the standard smile on his face as he nodded slightly. “Yes, I’m here to look for Song Fan for lunch. We’ll have lunch now and talk about business in the afternoon. It’s her first day at work. Does this count as her
leaving early?” he asked nervously. “I heard that your company here deducts
money for being late and leaving early?”
“You know how to joke. You’re our honored guest. Of course, she should put you first.’
Song Yi looked at Song Fan again and said, “Fanfan might not be familiar with the company since she just came. Our company has a dedicated Chinese and Western chef and a dedicated restaurant. You can order from the company, or I can accompany you to the surrounding restaurants. I’m more familiar with this place. After all, it’s Fanfan’s first time working here.”
Song Yi didn’t want Charlie to only have Song Fan in his eyes. Everyone thought that he was the one who negotiated the cooperation with the Brown Group. He was just giving his daughter a chance to train. If the employees knew that this was all Song Fan’s credit, it would worsen his prestige.
However, Charlie did not agree. He continued to smile. “I have an appointment with Song Fan to have a meal together. Young people have more common topics to talk about when eating together. Also, I heard that the Song Corporation has a lot of work to deal with every day. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
The elevator behind them opened, and Gu Chen’s voice came from inside. “Do you have something in common with Miss Song? Why didn’t I know?”
Gu Chen walked down from the elevator. It was obvious that the people beside him had stopped breathing.
He rarely went to other companies to discuss cooperation, unless it was the most important cooperation in the capital that required him to attend. Therefore, most people had only seen him in some financial reports. He didn’t expect that he was not only tall but also ridiculously handsome.
Especially when he stood directly next to Song Fan and adjusted her collar, saying dotingly, “You’re already a grown-up, but you don’t even know how to fix the collar of your shirt. I’ll ask them to send a few sets over later. This one is already wrinkled.”
The colleagues at the side all looked like they were watching a show. Although there were a few big shots present, everyone should be doing what they were supposed to do, but no one moved. The situation of Gu Chen and Song Fan made people’s blood boil!
Charlie raised his eyebrows. He was agitated by Gu Chen’s actions, especially when he thought about how Song Fan should have been by his side. He was even more annoyed. “Mr. Gu, are you always so free? Miss Song didn’t invite you to discuss the collaboration, right?”
“She already told me that she was coming to work at the Song Corporation. I’m just here to pick her up for dinner, not to discuss business.” Gu Chen pulled Song Fan’s hand, using a lot of force, as if he had a premonition that she would break free.
Song Fan had a helpless expression. Other than smiling, she didn’t know what else she could do.
The colleagues around them were already unable to control themselves from watching the commotion. Especially since there were many female colleagues in the marketing department on this floor. Everyone was immersed in a soft discussion of a love triangle in their minds.
“No wonder they’re looking for us to cooperate. It turns out that they have ulterior motives!”
“Miss Song’s beauty is enough to make people fall for her. Not to mention, she seems to be quite capable.”
“I heard that she saved Mr. Gu before. Could it be that she’s willing to marry him?”
“A beauty saving a hero? Not to mention that Hero is a handsome guy.”
“No wonder people spread rumors about her. So many handsome guys are surrounding her. I’m envious and jealous.”
“If she becomes the head of the marketing department in the future, how easy will it be for us? Isn’t the cooperation still flying over?”
Although the employees were discussing in hushed voices, Song Yi still heard it. What he was most afraid of was Song Fan gaining a foothold in the company. He didn’t expect that he would have two backers as soon as he arrived. Even the employees were starting to talk about it.
He couldn’t appear too anxious, but he also didn’t want Song Fan to be alone with them, so he pretended to be a perfect father who was worried about his daughter. He said hesitantly, “Mr. Gu, I’m afraid this is not appropriate, right? After all, the cooperation with the Brown Group is imminent..”
