Callous Boss and Awkward Wife

Proofread by Peter Gong

Gu Yi opens his eyes and watches her moving closer and closer. When the distance between them stands within a fist, Lin Miaoxin suddenly stops and opens her eyes, looking at Gu Yi's eyes. The next second she turns her head with shyness, and runs out in a hurry without saying goodbye. This little interlude has no effect on Gu Yi. He picks up the document on the table and looks at it carefully for several times, with his cold eyes which seem to see through the paper. When Gu Yi comes into the meeting room, all the managers of each department have already arrived. Passing by Lin Miaxin, Gu Yi is obviously aware of her sudden stiffness, and he silently observes all her reactions without stopping. Gu Yi sits down in the main seat and looks all over the faces on both sides, and his eyes stay on Zhang Le's face a little longer. Zhang Le senses his eyes and looks back. "Zhang Le, what's your opinion of the cooperation plan with Xiu Lin." Half an hour ago Gu Yi just noticed Zhang Le to take over this case. It's not easy to finish reading the previous plan in such a short time, let alone have his own opinion. Gu Yi intends to make it difficult for Zhang Le, which is a way to test his ability. Being suddenly called, Zhang Le calmly stands up, asking the secretary to play the slides he has prepared, and states his ideas clearly. Although Gu Yi has expected something of Zhang Le, he did not expect he can make such full preparations in such a short time, and every point coincides with his ideas and is clearly organized.

He stares at Zhang Le spontaneously with appreciation mingled with some remorse. If he had found such an excellent talent early, he should have fired Yang manager of planning department and the accident of the leaked program would not happened. After Zhang Le finishes his report, Gu Yi asks him a few questions, which Zhang Le answers calmly, and some of his answers are more thoughtful than he expected. Gu Yi isn't angry, which rarely happens. Instead, he nods with satisfaction, "Ok, Mr. Zhang will take over this cooperation case. All departments should do their best to cooperate with him."

After the meeting, everyone is gone. Gu Yi asks Zhang to be there alone, patting him on the shoulder, and says with full appreciation, "Try your best, and I believe you have this ability." Zhang Le just nods, neither pushy nor servile, just as usual, then he leaves. Seeing Zhang Le goes out of the meeting room, Lin Miaoxin walks in from the back door and their eyes meet, looking at Zhang Le's back simultaneously, "So you believe him? It's not your style to give such a big case to a new man." Her attitude is completely calm and businesslike, as if the thing that happened in the office is just an illusion.

The gentle smile on his face disappears, and his eyes suddenly become sharp. Although Lin Miaxin is not the first time to see such an expression on his face, she is still scared with her heart rate increasing. Gu Yi is like a man wearing a mask. He gives people a kind of gentle and elegant impression in daily life, however, in fact, the fierce and shiftiness that he shows occasionally is his real face. "I believe him." Gu Yi says firmly, tapping his fingers on the table and making a deep sound. Lin Miaxin sees he insists, and does not say anything, just slightly sighing. But the intuition tells her that the thing may not be that simple.

In fact, not only Lin Miaoxin, but many people in the company as well question this arrangement. Several departments are not convinced of Zhang Le at this vital moment to take this crucial case, especially Guo Tianliang, the former responsible for the case. In the tearoom, Guo Tianliang pours himself a cup of coffee with a gloomy face, while the people around him are observing his emotion carefully, and seeing this they do not dare to speak. The more Guo thinks, the angrier he grows, and finally he puts the cup heavily on the table, with the coffee sloshing. "Why is he!" He growls angrily with his forehead veins protruding.

The people around him glance at each other and hurry to comfort him. Zhang Le is approaching the door of the tearoom with his cup in his hand just in time to hear the conversation clearly before entering. "Manager, don't be too angry, he is a cub, how can he compare with you." "Yes, there must be something wrong with Mr. Gu. How can he give Zhang such an important case to deal with." Zhang Le stops at the door and hears these words clearly. His eyes look down and he hides his emotion. The people inside become more and more excited, completely ignoring him.

Leaning against the wall, Zhang Le silently listens to those colleagues who seem to be harmonious in daily life speaking ill of him, with the complex emotion. He is lost in thought and even doesn't know when they have stopped, until an exclamation of woman wakes him and then he slowly raises his head. Looking at the woman with shock and embarrassment standing in front of him, Zhang Le tilts his head. Meanwhile the others come out of the tearoom and Guo Tianliang is surrounded in the middle with awkwardness. Zhang calmly looks at him, raising the cup in his hand, slightly shaking it at Guo, then turns and leaves.

"What does he mean?" After Zhang goes out a few meter away, Guo just comes to his senses, turning to ask the people around him. But no one answers him. They exchange glances with each other, and leave as quickly as they can. Those words in the tearoom do nothing to dampen Zhang's mood. He returns to the office with an empty glass, sits down and thinks for two seconds, then takes out his phone and edits the text seriously. Zhang has always been the most earnest person, no matter what he does, he tries his best. For this, Ko Chen chose him.

Zhang's finger types on the screen and presses the send button, and after this he deletes it immediately. At the same time, Ko Chen's mobile phone vibrates with a message showing on the screen. Linxiu plan will be sent tonight. --cat. The mouth corner of Ke Chen is pursed for he knows "cat" won't let him down. But the smile only lasts a second. Now although the problem of Gu's company is solved, the most tricky problem is still there. Ko Chen still doesn't know what Tan lin's purpose is. On the surface Lin Xiu company is to unite each company to aim at Ko Chen, but he feels something wrong. Sooner or later one day, he and Tan Lin will meet as commercial competitors. Thinking of that, somehow, Ko Chen is a little excited.
