"...No one notified me,"
"Then I’m notifying you now, they probably forgot."
Jiu Rong spoke with such casual ease, it didn’t seem like he was making it up on the spot at all.
Lu Wanwan gave him a strange look, her eyes filled with doubt.
However, he was too forthright, too serious, she couldn’t spot any issues.
"Alright, I’m going to... take a break for now."
As she reached the first floor, Gu Annan was standing at the door.
Lu Wanwan waved to Jiu Rong and Zhao Chen with a smile, "Then I’ll be leaving first, goodbye."
After she left, Zhao Chen asked with a laugh, "President Jiu didn’t just change his mind on the spot, did he?"
Jiu Rong didn’t smile, feeling that he was just being rhetorical, "What do you think?"
"How would I know." Zhao Chen smiled innocently, "I thought, the ’urgent work’ President Jiu mentioned is just ordinary work scheduling, right? And taking a week off, doesn’t quite seem like your company’s usual style."
Jiu Rong raised an eyebrow, "Changing my mind on the spot, it wasn’t under any coercion from you guys."
Zhao Chen was startled, "Coercion?"
Jiu Rong then glanced at Gu Annan, his face as dark as coal, no wonder his ex-wife ignored him.
"Caring so much about the workload earlier, is it necessary!"
Gu Annan gave an inexplicable look and turned to head to his car.
Jiu Rong became uncertain, looking back at Zhao Chen, "Wasn’t it your boss Gu who hinted you to imply?"
"I implied?" Zhao Chen shrugged, "President Jiu, I was just asking casually. I’ll be leaving now, President Jiu, see you next time, pleased to collaborate."
Jiu Rong watched as the two got into their car and left.
He clenched his fist in frustration, threatened by that rascal Gu Annan to the point of paranoia.
Now he changed his mind, is it still time to squeeze the staff a bit more?
When Lu Wanwan went to the experience hall, her heart hadn’t fully calmed down yet.
Bumping into Gu Annan in such a place really made her heart skip a beat, just narrowly avoiding being seen by him.
If he really had seen the two kids calling her ’mommy,’ what would he think?
Would he continue to not care, or would he demand her to leave Manchester, or maybe...
Thinking about these possibilities was useless, he could possibly recognize them.
Little Youyou and Little Momo had features that blended the best of both hers and Gu Annan’s traits, now at five years old, their looks weren’t too obvious yet.
But she remembered that photo.
After finding out Gu Annan was the child in that photo, she had looked at it many times.
If it weren’t for Little Momo’s trendy, masculine hairstyle, along with his boyish clothing, he would look just like Gu Annan, pretty and delicate enough to pass as a girl.
Actually, Little Youyou also bore some of his traits, but because she was a girl, changing her hairstyle and her vibrant expressions, it wasn’t so easy to associate her with him.
Seeing other people would have been fine, but she didn’t really want them to meet Gu Annan’s childhood friends, because they had all grown up together and might think the kids resemble how Gu Annan looked as a child.
"Why did it take you so long to come?" Xu Yuan had already bought the tickets and had been waiting for a while.
Lu Wanwan sighed deeply, her face showing a relaxed smile, "Nothing, I just bumped into the big boss."
Xu Yuan’s eyes widened, "You weren’t asked to do overtime, were you?"
"No, got a week off. I can properly rest and play with them."
"Is it really that good?" Xu Yuan smelled something unusual.
"It shows the company is humane!"
Before Lu Wanwan could reply, her phone rang, "Hello, President Jiu... Ah? Still have to work, huh? Alright..."
Such a quick slap in the face!
