Chapter 402: This President Is So Stern

He was supporting her arm with his hand. Yu Minmin hastily stood up straight and did not dare to touch his clothes again.
“I’m sorry. I fell down by accident.”
Gu Jingming glowered down at her.
At the side, the teacher frantically explained, “Mr. President, it’s our fault for not teaching Miss Yu well. Please punish us if you must, Mr. President.”
Yu Minmin wanted to say that it had nothing to do with them. However, she lifted her head only to see that everyone had their hands clasped together in front of them and their heads down low. The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped significantly all of a sudden.
Seeing that they were all behaving in the same manner, Yu Minmin dared not say anything either and could only lower her head like they were doing.
Gu Jingming swept his eyes over all of them and said without mincing his words, “Do you know what the consequences would be if she fell down like this at a parliament banquet?”
Everyone was even more afraid to lift their heads up and they bent their heads even lower.
Gu Jingming was still holding Yu Minmin up. However, he said sternly to them, “Get out. Go look for the steward to have your pay docked.”
Did he have to dock their pay over such a small matter?
She had clearly been the one who had not learned well. What did it have to do with them?
Yu Minmin looked on as they rushed out despondently. Then, she hastily said to Gu Jingming, “Actually, I’m the one who didn’t learn it properly. You don’t have to fault them for it. It has nothing to do with them.”
Gu Jingming looked at Yu Minmin. “If you sympathize with them, then learn how to behave. If you don’t want them to be punished again, it’s best for you to learn how to stand in front of the cameras properly within a week.”
“…” Yu Minmin looked at Gu Jingming.
He was a total tyrant.
Fancy the media praising him so highly and even calling Gu Jingming some warm-hearted man. What nonsense.
Yu Minmin felt once again that their circle was the fakest, not the entertainment industry!
“I’ll work hard at it. But I don’t have the basics down, so I’ll take a longer time. Anyway… I’ll work hard at it, so don’t punish them anymore,” Yu Minmin said.
Gu Jingming looked at her. “I spent a lot of money hiring them to work quickly. That’s enough. The most important thing is for you to do what you’re supposed to.”
Yu Minmin was about to speak again but Gu Jingming discovered that something was amiss.
What was she wearing…
Although she was wearing a very proper black blazer and a white blouse inside with a skirt that wrapped around her hips, why did it look so strange on her body…
He looked her up and down and finally realized what was wrong.
Her chest…
Yu Minmin had mid-length hair that ended at her shoulders. It was in its natural black color and was not dyed at all. Her initial sloppy appearance had changed as she had been dressed by professionals. Right now, she looked extremely refres.h.i.+ng. Her legs were slender and long, and her small waist was accentuated by the skirt that wrapped tightly around it. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were also more noticeable as they were supported.
Gu Jingming’s eyes paused before s.h.i.+fting elsewhere. He said to the person behind him, “Tell the stylist to come here tomorrow and change some of Miss Yu’s clothes.”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
Gu Jingming glanced at her one last time and swept his eyes over the learning materials in the room before turning to leave.
At last, Yu Minmin could relax. She felt that whenever Gu Jingming was around, the maids around her would also feel more stifled.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Gu Jingming leave. They then looked at Yu Minmin.
Yu Minmin sighed, “Mr. President is a little too stern and way too strict. It’s not the teacher’s fault. It’s mine. Seriously.”
All at once, the maids said, “That’s not it. You’ll be appearing in front of the cameras for the first time next week. Because time is a bit tight, Professor Qin and some of the other professors were specially hired from overseas. Mr. President has really put in a lot of effort for Miss Yu’s sake.”
Hearing this, Yu Minmin instinctively asked, “If they’re hired from overseas, aren’t they all very brilliant teachers?”
“Yes. Professor Qin is M Nation’s royal etiquette teacher. She works exclusively for the royal family.”
“…” Yu Minmin’s mouth did not close for a long time. Was she actually being treated like royalty?
Just then, the teacher returned. When she thought of the fact that this young-looking girl worked for the royal family, Yu Minmin immediately felt deep respect for her and began to study more diligently.
However, the materials were really difficult to understand. It was indeed impossible to stuff so much knowledge into her brain within such a short time.
Yu Minmin studied until two in the morning and only slept then.
The next day, she was woken up at five in the morning.
She was in a daze and felt as if she was really about to die. However, the maid told her that Mr. President was having breakfast in the Glazed Tile Palace, so she had to hurry there too.
As Gu Jingming had been too busy during this period, he had only come here a few times. Today was actually his first time eating breakfast in the Glazed Tile Palace.
Yu Minmin quickly tidied up her room. With the help of the maids, she dressed herself up early in the morning so that she looked simple yet beautiful, and refres.h.i.+ng yet proper. Then, they pushed her out of her room.
Outside the Glazed Tile Palace, the food would be tested and placed on the dining table if no problems were found. ,
The table was long and decorated with an exquisite tablecloth. Plates of various sizes sparkled under the crystals overhead. Gu Jingming was the only one sitting at the huge table. Everyone else stood by with their eyes fixed on him as he ate.
However, Gu Jingming seemed not to care at all. It was obvious that he was used to it.
“Good morning,” Yu Minmin greeted.
Seeing as everyone looked at her strangely but no one replied, Yu Minmin could only put her hand down awkwardly. When she walked to the dining table, a maid pulled out the chair for her and she sat across Gu Jingming.
Gu Jingming did not even lift his head. With the chopsticks between his long and slender fingers, he ate elegantly. Like a cat, his movements were slow and graceful. Every expression and action seemed like it was part of a seamless performance.
Yu Minmin gazed at Gu Jingming. To be honest, she felt that he was fairly handsome. His eyes alone were enough to send anyone into a daze. His thin lips befitted his harsh personality. His body was ramrod straight, his fingers were long and slender, and his back was broad. The black suit he was wearing suited him extremely well.
As she sat there and looked at the man across from her, she sighed internally. It was no wonder that he was the most popular President in the country. She thought of the countless admirers he had on his official website who were nearly smitten by him. She also thought of the numerous youngsters who had begun paying attention to politics because of him when they had previously been apathetic.
She nearly fell into a trance as she watched his smooth and natural motions.
This occurred until he glanced at her and asked with a frown, “Why are you staring at me?”
Yu Minmin was immediately jolted back to her senses. She quickly looked down and thought to her chagrin that she had unexpectedly been transfixed by a man to the point where she seemed besotted.
The worst thing was that he had discovered it.
She hastily said, “Ah, it’s nothing… I… I’m observing how you eat.”
Gu Jingming stared at her and made no comment. He put down the soup spoon in his hand. “Don’t go anywhere today. If you can’t finish the lesson materials by this weekend, you’ll bear the consequences yourself.”
“…” Seriously.
No matter how handsome he was, he was just a demon! A completely cold-hearted demon!
