Gu Dai pondered for a moment before tentatively suggesting, “How about I report every ten hours when I’m not at home?”
Meng Chuan agreed, “That should be good.”
As Gu Dai observed Meng Chuan’s response, she felt she could have negotiated for even more time. But the idea was quickly quashed by Wu Zhen’s words.
“We were all terrified when we heard the news,” Wu Zhen confessed. “The young masters were crying, ready to rush off to find you. Thankfully, you called in time, or they would have already been on their way to Suzhou City.” Gu Dai lowered her gaze, speaking softly, “I’m sorry for worrying you all. But rest assured, I will take good care of myself in the future.”
Hearing her assurance, everyone felt more relieved.
Meng Zhi, remembering Su Ting who was still in the room, asked, “Was Su Ting injured in the earthquake?”
Gu Dai nodded, “He hurt his back protecting me. He fainted just now due to exhaustion.”
Meng Zhi nodded, then spoke, “You should focus on organizing the Suzhou Embroidery competition these next few days. I’ll take good care of Su Ting.”
Gu Dai’s eyes narrowed inquisitively, “Third Brother, how did you know about the Suzhou Embroidery competition?”
Meng Zhi was taken aback, then turned his head away without answering, his ears turning red.
Meng Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, “After finding out you were safe, he cried and pestered Zheng Ming to find out why you went to Suzhou City. He even begged Zheng Ming to reveal your schedule for the next three months.” Pausing for a few seconds, Meng Chuan added, “He was really upset.”
Meng Zhi quickly covered Meng Chuan’s mouth, desperation in his voice, “Daidai, listen to me. Although your second brother didn’t ask, he cried too. I could tell he supported what I did!”
Meng Chuan pulled Meng Zhi’s hand away his force, “Little sister, that’s just his guess, I didn’t…”
Meng Zhi crossed his arms, huffing, “Your eyes told me everything.” Watching Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi bicker, Gu Dai couldn’t help but laugh softly, then said, “I’ll handle the Suzhou Embroidery competition now. Please take care of Su Ting. Call me if anything comes up.”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi nodded in agreement.
However, they expressed their concern, “Daidai, you just got back. Maybe you should rest a bit first.”
Gu Dai reassured them, “It’s alright. I’ve almost finished planning the competition. I just need to check on a few things, and I’ll be back soon.” Reassured, they agreed to her plan.
When Gu Dai returned to the company, the employees greeted her with smiles, each saying, “Chairwoman Gu, we’re glad you’re safe!”
Gu Dai smiled back, “Thank you.”
Zheng Ming approached her with documents, “Chairwoman Gu, these are the top two contestants from the second round of preliminaries.”
Gu Dai’s gaze fell on the documents. One was Wei Jia and the other was Li Ying.contemporary romance
Both Wei Jia and Li Ying had excellent works in the preliminary round, and both were quite attractive. However, something about Li Ying’s eyes made Gu Dai feel uneasy.
Reminding herself not to judge by appearances, she handed the documents back to Zheng Ming, “I’ve invited Master Zhen Chan for the competition. We can start the next round tomorrow.”
Zheng Ming confirmed, “Understood.”
After a moment’s hesitation, he asked, “Chairwoman Gu, is Master Zhen Chan participating as a contestant?”
Gu Dai shook her head, “No, she will be a judge, not a contestant.”
Zheng Ming nodded, “Alright, Chairwoman Gu. I’ll arrange for the next round.”
Gu Dai added, “I’ll also check the venue. And I’ll be at the event tomorrow to observe the contestants’ skills.”
Zheng Ming’s eyes brightened, “Chairwoman Gu, there’s a lot of anticipation online to see you in person. The contestants might get too excited and lose focus in the competition!”
Considering Zheng Ming’s point, Gu Dai thought seriously before replying, “During the competition, I’ll appear as a special guest without revealing my true identity.”
The Gu Group had been trending online recently, so the news of the Suzhou Embroidery competition drew many applicants. Despite rigorous screening, there were still many participants in the semifinals..
