Chapter 685: Principles
“Yeah, do you know why she’s angry?” Secretary Zhang asked.
“Because of some misunderstanding,” said Gu Shaoting, avoiding the main point.
“Then just resolve the misunderstanding.” Secretary Zhang felt that this matter was indeed simple.
“I’ve already explained, but she has refused to listen.” Gu Shaoting felt that Shu Pan was really going against him this time.
“That means you haven’t found the crux of the matter yet,” Secretary Zhang said with certainty.
Gu Shaoting was deep in thought. After a while, he told Secretary Zhang, “Tell Charlene you’re arranging for her to return to France. Her father misses her very much.”
“This…” Secretary Zhang could not react in time. Why did the topic change so quickly?
“Just do as I say,” Gu Shaoting said in an unquestionable tone.
“Alright.” Secretary Zhang nodded.
Gu Shaoting felt that Shu Pan was upset about something. She was probably concerned about Charlene’s existence, but he actually didn’t mind. He just deemed it unnecessary to offend his business partners, and thus didn’t take any action for so long.
Secretary Zhang seemed to have understood something, but it was Mr. Gu’s personal matter, after all. He couldn’t say anything, so he could only let it be.
At noon, Gu Shaoting called to ask Shu Pan out for lunch, but she had already eaten.
Gu Shaoting felt that Shu Pan did it on purpose. Didn’t he tell her this morning he wanted to eat with her? However, she had already eaten.
In the afternoon, Gu Shaoting still had a dark expression. He had an appointment with the investor at the teahouse. As they left early, they soon arrived. However, the CEO of Gaoli was late for half an hour because of the traffic jam. When the investor arrived at the teahouse, Gu Shaoting tore the contract into pieces before him and threw it before him. There was no room for negotiation at all. He then left with Secretary Zhang.
The investor was dumbfounded and didn’t understand what had happened. Because he was late, he had wanted to explain to Mr. Gu, but he had left.
The investor was anxious and chased after them, but their car had sped away.
Secretary Zhang was also dumbfounded. Gu Shaoting’s behavior in the company really paled in comparison to his behavior just now.
“Mr. Gu, we haven’t signed the contract yet. We’ve discussed this cooperation for a long time. How could we give up just like that?
“Don’t cross my bottom line. Why can’t they leave earlier for such an important matter? An accident can happen at any time. Why didn’t they think about it?” Gu Shaoting wasn’t in a good mood, to begin with, and now that he encountered such a situation, he would definitely make use of it to make a fuss.
“What if they come to the company again?” Secretary Zhang was also blaming the other party in his heart. They had been working well together, but it had turned out like this.
“We’ll talk about it later. If they don’t value something as important as signing a contract, you can imagine their attitude toward any issues that may arise in the future.” What Gu Shaoting said made sense.
The two returned to the company, and Gu Shaoting immediately dealt with the matter. Secretary Zhang looked at the time and found he was free, so he went to the Secretary pool area to deal with Charlene’s problem.
Everyone else had gone to work, and only Charlene was there.
Secretary Zhang saw it as a good opportunity and did not beat around the bush.
“Charlene, you’ve been learning for a while, right? I see you’ve improved significantly recently, and I have nothing else to teach you.” Secretary Zhang’s words were very clear.
“Is this Brother Gu’s idea?” Although previously Charlene had said she wanted to go back, going back herself and being asked to go by others was different.
