Chapter 64: Caught in the Crossfire
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jian Dan accompanied Grandpa back to the family residence to pack some necessities and the two of them rushed to the train station…
Jian Dan only relaxed when she was on the train.
So exciting…
However, Jian Dan definitely needed to inform Chu Liyuan. She had planned to tell him only when the die was cast—when she boarded the train…
Chu Liyuan was in a meeting when Jian Dan made a video call to him.
Because of what had happened previously, Chu Liyuan would bring his cell phone with him no matter where he went.
When he saw the video call request by Jian Dan… “Hold on.”
He got up and went to the adjacent conference room to answer Jian Dan’s video call…
“Uncle.”
After answering the call, he saw that Jian Dan’s background was very noisy…
“Where are you?”
Chu Liyuan knitted his brows.
“I’m on the train! I’m going to Mengjiao’s hometown to help her fetch her grandmother. As I was in a hurry, I didn’t have the time to inform you in advance.”
This was the excuse that Jian Dan had prepared right from the start.
Chu Liyuan’s face darkened.
This la.s.s was acting on the precept of “its easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission”!
Chu Liyuan’s face was thunderous. “Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll be back in two or three days.”
It was only for two or three days. It should be fine! Uncle was always busy with work and didn’t have time for her anyway!
Looking at Chu Liyuan’s increasingly thunderous face, Jian Dan felt a little apprehensive… but fortunately…
“Liyuan! Don’t worry! I’m with Little Jian! It’ll be fine.”
At this moment, Jian Dan was very glad that she had brought Grandpa along.
“Grandpa, why are you mucking around with Jian Jian too?!”
“Little Jian is helping people! How is this mucking around?”
Grandpa was really too awesome.
“Alright. You’ve been quite busy recently. You don’t have time for Little Jian! Besides, I’m here! Are you afraid that I’ll lose your wife? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely bring your wife back intact.”
It was a wise choice. Grandpa was simply a golden shield with immunity privileges! He was too awesome!
The two of them were colluding with each other? And he could not do anything to them. It was really…
Chu Liyuan returned to the conference room with a thunderous face. Everyone instantly shivered.
This was not right! They had clearly seen the video call request from Mr. Chu’s little darling just now! But what was going on now? It felt like a volcano was about to erupt.
Sigh… All the poor souls in the conference room today… Tragedy is inbound today…
(I’m really sorry to have implicated everyone. Jian Dan apologizes deeply here!)
“This is the proposal you submitted? Redo!”
The first was the Planning Department!
“This month’s sales only increased by io%? How dare you show me such a report?!”
The A4arketing Department was next.
“Is this the financial statement you prepared? Even fresh graduates can do a better job than you!”
Finance Department.
“What is going on with your recruitment process? Look at the kind of people you recruited.”
Human Resources Department.
“How did you engage the cleaning company? They didn’t do a thorough job of cleaning at all.”
Administrative Department.
“The CEO’s Office did not fulfill their duty of supervision. This month’s bonus will be deducted. All the other departments will have half a month’s bonus deducted.”
In the end, even the CEO’s Office was not spared.
Then, he left the conference room with a thunderous face…
Mr. Chu was fine before he left to answer the call. Why did his mood suddenly take a turn for the worse after he returned from the call?
Ever since Mr. Chu and that la.s.s got married, this thunderous face had not been seen for a long time.
Did that la.s.s make Mr. Chu mad?
From the looks of it, it must be. She was the only one who could cause such great upheavals in Mr. Chu’s emotions..
