Chapter 276: Chapter 276: The Mysterious BOSS Descends (2) Chapter 276: Chapter 276: The Mysterious BOSS Descends (2) “It is a great honor to take over Nanyi Weekly. In terms of work, my demands will be very strict, and I hope everyone can withstand this kind of work pressure.”
After Gu Annan finished speaking, his gaze slowly shifted toward the stiff figure in the corner.
“I also hope that everyone present will not arbitrarily disrespect the authority of their superiors,” he added coldly, his eyes still focused in that direction.
Everyone turned their heads in unison to look, and those closest to Lu Wanwan hurriedly patted her, “Xiaolu, what are you doing?”
Lu Wanwan turned around, facing that oppressive gaze carrying immense pressure.
Their eyes met for a moment, and before she could even explain, she saw Gu Annan turn away indifferently, continuing to speak, “New work assignments will be issued soon. Everyone should be prepared to work overtime. Any plans for the evening can be changed to tentative.”
Some sweet voice chimed in, “If Director Gu has tasks, of course we’d rather work overtime than go on dates.”
Several people laughed along.
The working atmosphere at Nanyi has always been pretty good; at their level, people are not so rigidly cold, and an occasional joke with the boss is not taken seriously.
Lu Wanwan’s heart was filled with derision, she sneered, she would of course rather go on dates than work overtime!
These girls who liked to flirt were too naive; don’t think because he’s handsome that he’s easy to tease.
Just looking at that icy demeanor, it was clear he wasn’t someone who would welcome being teased.
“Very well, it seems you’re all very enthusiastic about your work.” Gu Annan’s lips curved slightly into a faint smile, “I will work overtime with everyone today. If you have any issues, come find me in my office.”
“Director Gu, can we also come when there’s no issue?” the sweet voice from before ventured further.
Lu Wanwan looked towards the source of the voice, the speaker was Linda, a girl on their floor who was particularly good at socializing and also beautiful.
Though she was joking, her eyes were blatantly smiling directly at Gu Annan.
“Sure, if your work isn’t up to par, I hope you’ll still have the nerve,” he responded half-jokingly.
Everyone laughed, but only Lu Wanwan had a gloomy expression, not finding anything amusing.
Gu Annan could actually joke, without scolding harshly to deter anymore teasing?
She was in a daze, and by the time she snapped back, the gathered crowd had dispersed, and Gu Annan had vanished.
“Xiaolu, what was that about earlier?” asked a coworker from the next desk, puzzled, “The new BOSS came to talk and you still had your back turned, working on your copy. No matter how busy you are, you can’t pick that time to do it.”
Lu Wanwan gave a dry laugh, “I’m not too savvy about these things, sorry.”
Linda passed by triumphantly, mimicking Gu Annan’s earlier tone, “Comrade Lu, don’t arbitrarily disrespect the authority of your superiors, okay?”
Watching everyone’s joy at the dawn of a new era, as if having rid themselves of the previous middle-aged, balding BOSS to welcome an eye-pleasing one, seemed to them a matter for rejoicing.
She really wanted to burst out and tell them, you are all barking up the wrong tree!
You’ll understand later that having such a BOSS makes one constantly want to give notice and leave. There is absolutely no superior more frustrating than him!
Lu Wanwan’s work that afternoon was absent-minded, her mind filled with why Gu Annan was here?
She was well aware of how busy Gu Annan was after taking over the entire Gu family business; it was impossible for him to find time to come to such a minor place.
If it was because of her, Lu Wanwan, that also seemed unlikely.
Almost a month had passed, and Gu Annan had clearly had no interaction with her.
