Chapter 515: She Disrespected You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Everyone at Gu Corporation stared at Song Fan in surprise. She looked somewhat uneasy, as almost every gaze landed on her the moment she walked through the company’s doors.
Beside her, Gu Chen was earnestly giving work instructions, seemingly oblivious to the attention they were receiving.
A woman with a shapely figure and meticulously applied makeup approached to report, “President Gu, you have a busy schedule today. How should we arrange for this young lady?”
The woman appeared quite familiar with Gu Chen, leaning forward suggestively, to the point where Song Fan could almost see her revealing bosom.
The woman looked at Song Fan with a smug expression. “President Gu has a lot of work this morning. Perhaps this young lady should return home first?”
A colleague nearby scoffed. Gu Chen was known for his aloofness towards women; he had never even had any rumors of a girlfriend. The new colleague, Su Xi, was relying on her connections and wanted to curry favor with Gu Chen.
Ever since the female employees at Gu Corporation heard there was a woman by Gu Chen’s side, everyone had been eager to try their luck.
In their eyes, Song Fan lacked any significant background. Many young people from prominent families were waiting for a chance to connect with Gu Chen.
Su Xi was a sexy beauty with a notable family background. Hearing that Gu Chen had returned, she had volunteered to be his assistant.
But Gu Chen showed her no face at all. “Are you giving me orders?”
Gu Chen looked coldly at the woman in front of him. “Miss Song is with me. Who are you to arrange for her?”
Gu Chen took Song Fan’s hand and started toward his office, but Su Xi was unwilling to give up. She had finally seen him return and didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
“President Gu, I still have some things to report. Ah!” She pretended to twist her ankle in high heels and fell toward Gu Chen.
If it had been another man, he might have helped her. But Gu Chen simply sidestepped her.
Seeing this, Su Ming, who had reached out to help, withdrew his hand, letting Su Xi fall flat on her face in front of everyone.
Song Fan couldn’t hold back her laughter, and many colleagues around them laughed as well. Su Xi had a habit of bullying others, so seeing her make a fool of herself was satisfying to many.
“What are you laughing at? Are you happy to see me humiliated?” Su Xi slowly stood up, but no one offered her a hand.
Everyone had seen Gu Chen’s actions, but Su Xi still didn’t understand. She even thought Song Fan had pulled Gu Chen away, causing her to fall.
“You bitch, clinging to President Gu…”
Her finger, pointed at Song Fan, stopped mid-air as Gu Chen grabbed it and squeezed hard.
Su Xi’s shriek echoed through the office building. All the colleagues held their breath; they had always thought of President Gu as cold, but didn’t expect him to be so ruthless, completely unfeeling.
Gu Chen took a tissue from the side and wiped his hand vigorously. “Su Ming, make sure she never appears in Gu Corporation again. Also, those who recommended her should not return to work either. They overestimate themselves.”
After thoroughly inspecting his hand for any remaining dirt, Gu Chen took Song Fan’s hand again. “Let’s go to the office first. I’ll take you to the lab later.”
Colleagues exchanged knowing glances, understanding the significance of what had just happened. It seemed that Miss Song truly was, as rumored, recognized by Gu Chen as his fiancée.
“Were you just…” Song Fan wanted to say he had been too harsh, but she herself was known for strict discipline. If that woman had been in her team, she would have kicked her out long ago.
“She disrespected you. What I did was already very gentle,” Gu Chen replied without looking up, still handling documents.
Thinking it over, he looked up at Song Fan. “Since I brought you to Gu Corporation, you are with me. I won’t let you be mistreated.”
Song Fan’s lips moved as if to say something, but she swallowed her words. Since when had Gu Chen become so adept at sweet talk? Was he always this way, and she just hadn’t noticed his true nature?
After more than half an hour, Gu Chen finished his documents and took Song Fan to the lab.
More accurately, this was Gu Medical Company’s research institute. Besides the lab, it housed various pharmaceutical bases and greenhouses, cultivating a wide range of medicinal herbs.
Song Fan loved places with a strong scientific atmosphere. Her eyes sparkled upon entering the institute. Gu Chen smiled silently beside her. He had long noticed her special interests and felt he was one step closer to keeping her.
