Chapter 285: Chapter 285: President Gu, Keeping Work and Personal Life Separate (5) Chapter 285: Chapter 285: President Gu, Keeping Work and Personal Life Separate (5) The next day at work, Lu Wanwan had just turned on her computer when Linda approached her of her own accord.
“Xiaolu, how late did you work overtime yesterday?”
“Quite late.” Mentioning last night didn’t put her in a good mood.
The subway had stopped running, and she painfully spent money on a taxi home, all because of Gu Annan’s deliberate obstructions.
Suddenly recalling the old man from yesterday, she immediately explained, “There was too much to translate, and Mr. Gu was in a hurry to have it, so I worked until ten o’clock.”
Linda looked at her expression as if relieved.
“Didn’t Mr. Gu give you a ride home?” she then smiled again, “I heard Mr. Gu’s car is worth millions, is that true or not? Did you see it?”
“I don’t know,” Lu Wanwan replied grumpily, “I took a taxi home last night.”
Linda said cheerfully, “That’s really tough. I didn’t expect you knew French. Actually, in the future, you could pretend you don’t know and no one would say anything, after all, it isn’t your job responsibility. Then let them give it to a translator, wouldn’t that make it much easier for you?”
“Good idea, thanks for telling me, Sister Linda.”
Lu Wanwan watched as Linda walked away with a cheerful smile.
Who made her, in the past, eager to prove she wasn’t a bad student, score full marks in French and feel tempted to paste her test paper on his desk?
The retribution isn’t immediate, but it will come.
Before the morning was over, Linda came down from upstairs and told Lu Wanwan, “Xiaolu, Mr. Gu wants you to come over, he says there’s a problem with yesterday’s translation.”
“Let him find a translator.” Lu Wanwan, busy with her work, replied irritably.
Seeing Linda’s surprised face, she changed her words, “What I mean is, for such matters Mr. Gu should find a translator. But, I’ll go over anyway.”
Linda watched her leave reluctantly, and curiously said to someone else, “Has Lu Wanwan been scolded too much by Mr. Gu?”
“Probably, she’s a newcomer after all. The BOSS’s demands are a bit outrageous; those who worked overtime yesterday had to redo their work, it’s no surprise that an intern got reprimanded.”
Lu Wanwan had guessed correctly; Gu Annan had found some issues again, deliberately making things difficult.
Although she didn’t work as late as the first day, the next few days weren’t easy for her either.
Even those colleagues who deliberately sought reasons to show off in front of Gu Annan felt a bit of sympathy for her.
She spent an entire week under Gu Annan’s difficult demands.
The initial small joy of guessing that Gu Annan was doing this because of her was completely worn away by the work.
After that week, she finally couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
“Gu Annan, stop right there!”
At eight in the evening, Lu Wanwan didn’t leave work immediately but specifically went to the parking lot to find him.
“What do you mean by this?” she said, full of grievances, “Explain it to me clearly!”
Gu Annan stood in front of his car, watching the woman who finally took the initiative to come and confront him, “Explain what?”
“What do you think? We should keep work and personal matters separate, right?” she said angrily, “Now it’s after work hours, not working hours, can we talk about something else?”
He raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to continue, in no rush to get into the car.
Leaning casually against the car door, “The issues I pointed out, not one of them was nitpicking, all were lapses in your work. Right?”
“…Yes, but that’s not the main point I’m trying to make.”
This was something she indeed couldn’t refute, but lately, she hardly had the heart to focus entirely on her work.
“I heard previously that you have a good work attitude, are serious and meticulous, and your capabilities are decent,” Gu Annan chuckled lightly, his voice still cold, “Unfortunately, I didn’t see it. Did your previous boss misjudge you, or is it that recently you’re not focused on your work?”
