Chapter 315 - 315: Breaking News
Shu Pan had been extremely busy lately as the final stages of the project proposals wrapped up. In the competitive corporate environment, it was soon revealed who emerged victorious.
After all, Su Corporation was now a major conglomerate, and Shu Pan was well aware of how things should be handled.
Despite the hectic schedule, where there were many people, there was always plenty of gossip.
Just after the morning meeting, Tang Wei approached Shu Pan with an air of mystery.
“Hey, Shu Pan, let me tell you some news,” Tang Wei said, knowing she had discovered another sensational piece of information.
“What’s going on?” Shu Pan asked, intrigued.
“Colleagues who attended the meeting at the headquarters today said that our President Gu had a daughter. She looked a lot like him and was even brought to the company,” Tang Wei shared the explosive news she had gathered.
This matter had already caused a stir within the Gu Group. Previously, there were speculative reports in the newspapers, but it all fizzled out due to a lack of concrete evidence.
However, this time, Gu Shaoting brought his daughter to the company, creating quite a sensation.
If Shu Pan had water in her mouth at that moment, she would have surely sprayed Tang Wei’s face.
“What?” Shu Pan thought she must have misheard. How could bringing Joy to the company once have such a significant impact?
Indeed, letting him bring Joy was a mistake.
“Shu Pan, you heard it right. The CEO had a daughter. However, we don’t know who the child’s mother is yet. Last time, the newspaper only caught a glimpse of her side profile,” Tang Wei regretfully added.
“But, you know what, I genuinely admired this woman. Giving birth to Mr. Gu’s daughter was an extraordinary feat. She was like my idol,” Tang Wei exclaimed with admiration.
Shu Pan’s body stiffened, and an inexplicable sense of guilt washed over her.
“Maybe she’s just a relative’s child? You might be overthinking this.”
“I haven’t heard of Mr. Gu having any siblings, and the child looks exactly like him,” Tang Wei dismissed the possibility, showing disbelief.
Perhaps the monotony of their daily work routine led everyone to indulge in gossip about the company owner’s personal affairs.
“Well, it’s Mr. Gu’s private matter. If you keep discussing it, you might end up getting fired without knowing why,” Shu Pan warned with a hint of threat.
“I grew up eating rice, not by being scared. Everyone is talking about it. What’s the big deal? It’s not like we’re discussing it in front of the boss,” Tang Wei shrugged off the warning.
But you were discussing it in front of one of the involved parties, Shu Pan thought, but refrained from saying it aloud.
She Imew Tang Wei meant no harm; she was just casually chatting.
“However, you don’t know that everyone is really curious about the woman behind Mr. Gu. After all, it’s so mysterious,” Tang Wei sighed.
Shu Pan once again felt relieved that Gu Shaoting hadn’t been discovered coming to pick her up so many times. It was better to have him come less often. She didn’t want her peaceful life to turn into a chaotic mess.
“Stop thinking about it and focus on your work,” Shu Pan advised.
“I don’t daydream, but someone does. Do you know MO Lan? When she heard about this, she even said it’s worth becoming Mr. Guts daughter’s stepmother,” Tang Wei mimicked MO Lan’s tone with a perfect imitation.
Shu Pan was speechless. Well, it really was too boring.
“That’s just wishful thinking, especially from her,” Tang Wei expressed disdain. After all, she never liked MO Lan..
