Chapter 957: Chapter 956: Not Troublesome

Gu Shaoting was taken aback, not expecting Shu Pan to answer like that; he could only mutter, “It’s no trouble.”

As she saw her colleagues gradually returning from their meals, Shu Pan said, “I have to work now; it’s inconvenient. Let’s talk about anything else back at home.”

“Alright,” Gu Shaoting replied, filled with disappointment. Was Shu Pan still very unhappy?

He knew Shu Pan was sulking, but for the life of him, he didn’t know how to coax her.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Pan saw Sister Zhao approaching, and the sharp-eyed Zhao immediately noticed the paper bag in her hand that Shu Pan was about to throw away.

“Shu Pan, did you win the lottery? You can afford such expensive takeout? Oh, that’s not right; Century Home doesn’t do delivery; you have to line up if you want to eat there, right?”

Sister Zhao seemed to be talking to herself, glancing at her with an expression of surprise one second and then shaking her head the next; Shu Pan couldn’t help but smile a little.

“Sister Zhao, I didn’t win the lottery. It just so happens that the child’s daddy was passing by, so he bought it for me,” Shu Pan told a white lie since no one in the company knew her true identity.

If people knew she was the wife of the boss of Gu Group, but working at Shengtian Corporation, wouldn’t they think she’s just putting on an act? Or that she has ulterior motives?

So Shu Pan maintained as low a profile as possible.

“Lucky you, your hubby really dotes on you. Take my husband; he wouldn’t even eat something I bought for him, let alone buy something for me to eat,” Sister Zhao griped.

Same world, different fates.

Shu Pan gave a wry smile. Ah, this is how people are – you think my life is good, and I think yours is good.

But Shu Pan didn’t continue the conversation, to avoid being accused of being pretentious.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and the long-anticipated two-day trip is coming up.

In the afternoon at work, colleagues from the same department were discussing the trip; it was clear that everyone’s minds were on the upcoming fun.

“Do you think the CEO will go?” one of the colleagues asked gossipy.

“I don’t think so. This weekend, it’s the turn of the administration department, PR department, and the secretaries; next weekend, it’s sales and after-sales service. The CEO can’t possibly go both weekends, right? But if he goes with only one, that seems a bit unfair, doesn’t it?”

This colleague’s analysis made sense, and for a while, whether the CEO would go on the outing became the focal point of everyone’s attention.

“I feel the CEO will come with us, I have a premonition,” another colleague said mystically.

“Won’t we know by tomorrow? We’re supposed to meet up at the company and take the tour bus together,” said another.

The group discussed for a long time without coming to a conclusion.

Shu Pan’s lips curved slightly, as it seemed that every company had an excessive focus on the CEO. The CEO’s every move became the focal point of their attention.

She recalled that in her time at Gu Group, every action of Gu Shaoting had been a hot topic among the employees.

They were especially interested in the CEO’s private life.

Sister Zhao noticed Shu Pan sitting calmly at her desk, showing no interest in joining their conversations, and couldn’t help but feel a little surprised, “Aren’t you interested in the gossip?”

“What’s there to gossip about? What does it matter to us whether the CEO comes or not? Besides, wouldn’t it be even more uncomfortable if he did?” At least, that’s what she thought.

“Wrong, wrong, wrong. Go ask them, see if they think it’ll be uncomfortable. Their goal is the CEO; they have this rare chance to spend time with him on the trip, wouldn’t they go all out to flaunt themselves in front of him?” Sister Zhao seemed to be quite experienced with the situation.

Shu Pan furrowed her brows slightly; she really was out of touch with society for too long.
