Chapter 1090: Overturning
Pei Zhe was unwilling to say much to her, "You’ve seen it, you can leave now."
Gu Xiaorui couldn’t extract any words from him; Pei Zhe was an old fox, cunning to the extreme.
No matter how she expressed herself, it was as if she was hitting cotton, having no effect at all.
Whatever she wanted to do, Pei Zhe didn’t expose it. Since he, Gu Xiaozhan, and Huo Yiwen were to stand in a triumvirate, the play was inevitably going to continue.
"Take care." She had been using polite language all day.
Pei Zhe asked Mu Shaohan to see her out.
"Secretary Mu, thank you for seeing me out!" Gu Xiaorui gazed at him, "Your Mu Family, the men are truly handsome, and the women are beautiful. My sister-in-law is indeed an extraordinary beauty."
Since she couldn’t break through with Pei Zhe, she decided to start with the people around him.
"Miss Gu, you flatter us." Mu Shaohan was as cool as frost.
"How is the President’s mood?" Gu Xiaorui hurriedly asked.
Mu Shaohan blandly said, "Just as Miss Gu saw it."
Gu Xiaorui took the initiative to take out her phone, "Let’s add each other on WeChat, it’ll be more convenient in case there’s anything to communicate."
"Okay." Mu Shaohan did not refuse.
After Gu Xiaorui left, Mu Shaohan returned to the President’s office and reported adding her on WeChat to Pei Zhe.
"Shaohan, I trust you; you don’t need to report everything to me." Pei Zhe naturally saw through his intentions.
Mu Shaohan’s heart warmed, "Yes!"
...
Concerning Pei Zhe’s makeover, 24 hours had passed and the person involved had yet to come forward to explain.
Netizens across the country were restless, all petitioning for Pei Zhe to face the issue.
The entire cabinet initiated an emergency meeting, continually exercising pressure on Pei Zhe.
Even public opinion polls came out, indicating that if Pei Zhe didn’t explain, his support rate would continue to decline.
The cabinet’s call reached Mu Anhan’s side: "President Mu, can you persuade His Excellency the President to come forward and explain this matter?"
"His Excellency should have his considerations. Have you thought about it? The person who exposed this matter surely has ulterior motives." Mu Anhan advised.
"We have considered it, but now, it has escalated to a matter of public opinion," the cabinet minister sighed, "This is unfavorable to the President’s reputation! Even if we all understand, the public won’t."
"In fact, no matter when, we should trust His Excellency the President." After saying this, Mu Anhan hung up the phone.
She stood by the window, looking at the pitch-black outside, with a few stars still twinkling in the sky.
Gu Xiaozhan walked to her side, "What are you thinking about?"
"The cabinet called," Mu Anhan looked at him.
"Asking you why Pei Zhe isn’t explaining his makeover issue?" Gu Xiaozhan had already guessed.
Mu Anhan nodded.
"Do you know?" Gu Xiaozhan turned his head to look at her.
Mu Anhan shook her head, "I don’t know."
Gu Xiaozhan seemed a bit incredulous, "You two have quite a good relationship!"
Mu Anhan didn’t know what the meaning of the word "good" he used?
She bit her lip, "I really don’t know."
Gu Xiaozhan tugged at his lips, smiled, "So it means you two aren’t that close after all!"
This refutation method somewhat delighted his heart.
Mu Anhan: "..."
He now faced issues concerning other men without becoming paranoid or irritable, instead using evidence to disprove them.
She didn’t know whether she should feel happy about it.
