Chapter 1229: Awakening 9
Gu Yunyun lowered her eyes, a few emotions of entangled difficulty showing on her charming face.
"President Cheng, you’re right. I want to fulfill my duties beside my dad’s sickbed. After all, now it’s just my mom managing everything at home. Even my brother has been sent to grandma’s house to be looked after by grandparents."
"But... but my brother needs to study, my dad is hospitalized, and my mom’s health isn’t good either. In the hospital, everywhere needs money. If... if I stop working, then our whole family will really be..."
She didn’t continue the rest, knowing Cheng Junnan would surely understand.
Meanwhile, Jiang Meili, whom Gu Yunyun had tried hard to ignore, listened and looked at Gu Yunyun with more coldness in her eyes.
Such words, as a new artist in the company, Gu Yunyun actually dared to speak to President Cheng. Jiang Meili had to hand it to her.
Compared to this Gu Yunyun, thinking of Mu Tiantian whom she’d had two interactions with before, Jiang Meili couldn’t understand why President Cheng was so obsessed with Mu Tiantian while being uninterested in Mu Tiantian’s cousin.
Before when President Cheng visited Uncle Gu in the hospital, Gu Yunyun always found an opportunity to tag along, since it was her dad, President Cheng naturally agreed.
But Jiang Meili looked at Gu Yunyun’s impure motives, frowning deeply.
Yet since President Cheng didn’t say anything, as a secretary, she couldn’t speak up.
Thinking about what President Cheng just said, Jiang Meili finally felt at ease.
Gu Yunyun, this kind of artist with impure motives, who can’t even see her own position, always dreaming of ascending to greatness, she truly disliked.
If President Cheng wasn’t considering Mu Tiantian’s relationship, he wouldn’t treat Gu Yunyun differently or even visit Uncle Gu.
Seeing Cheng Junnan remain silent, just quietly staring at her, Gu Yunyun felt somewhat awkward.
She didn’t dare lift her eyes to look at Cheng Junnan, while a cold gaze from the side made her very annoyed, though she couldn’t comment now.
After a while, Gu Yunyun took a breath, lifted her eyes, and looked at Cheng Junnan with a voice as gentle as water.
"President Cheng, could you have a meal with me?"
Jiang Meili: "..."
Cheng Junnan looked at Gu Yunyun for a moment, slowly spoke: "I thought you came today to discuss the contract."
Seeing Cheng Junnan’s decision made, Gu Yunyun pursed her lips and nodded.
"Indeed, but there are some details I want to discuss with you properly, is that okay?"
Jiang Meili: "..."
What detail requires the company president’s involvement? Gu Yunyun really thinks she’s someone special?
Even a superstar wouldn’t dare say such things so casually.
To Gu Yunyun, who doesn’t know when to stop and has skin as thick as a fortress, Jiang Meili was completely speechless.
Cheng Junnan pondered slightly, nodded: "Alright!"
Glancing at the time, Cheng Junnan quickly spoke: "Secretary Jiang, order two takeouts!"
Gu Yunyun: "..."
How is this going to work? If it’s in the office, how could she manipulate things?
"President Cheng, can I not even go out for a meal with you?"
Cheng Junnan slightly furrowed his brows, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, looking at Gu Yunyun’s hopeful gaze, he glanced at the files beside him.
"The company is very busy lately, you’ve seen it!"
Following Cheng Junnan’s gaze, Gu Yunyun saw the towering files, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
"Fine, then takeout it is!"
