Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1119 - 1118: You Are Very Good

Chapter 1119: Chapter 1118: You Are Very Good

Gu Shaoting glanced at her, then said, “You are very good, meticulous, and diligent, a fine employee indeed. However, you are, after all, a girl, and it’s too exhausting to keep up with my pace. I haven’t considered this carefully before, given that the CEO’s secretary job is quite demanding. All my previous secretaries were male, and even they couldn’t handle it, let alone you.”

Before Gu Shaoting could finish speaking, Xia Xiaoqiao quickly interjected, “Mr. Gu, I’m not afraid. I can handle it. Actually, the normal workload isn’t that much.”

Xia Xiaoqiao misunderstood. She didn’t realize that Gu Shaoting was merely looking for an excuse to transfer her; she thought his concern was genuine and that he was worried she would get too tired.

She was touched deep down, thinking Mr. Gu was really that considerate.

Gu Shaoting was somewhat puzzled after hearing her words. Had he not been clear enough? It seemed she really had misunderstood.

“Hehe, you are still young, and single. Don’t push yourself too hard. It’s good to go out and get around more. Our company has many talented young men, and if you are confined to the secretary pool area, you won’t have time to meet other friends,” he said.

Gu Shaoting felt that by saying this, she should be able to understand perfectly clear.

After all, as a girl, she might be too embarrassed if he spoke too bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqiao’s face instantly turned somewhat pale; even if she were a bit slow, she now understood what he meant.

Did he figure out her feelings? Was that why he wanted to transfer her?

Was it his idea, or was it Mrs. Gu’s?

Mr. Gu had never expressed such thoughts before. Was it something Mrs. Gu had brought up in the last couple of days that made him realize this?

“Mr. Gu, I don’t want to find a boyfriend; I just want to work hard,” Xia Xiaoqiao said softly, sounding very dejected.

Gu Shaoting thought she was fearful due to the recent threat from her ex-boyfriend, so he tried to encourage her, “Not every man is like your ex-boyfriend. There are still many good guys out there. It’s important to mingle.”

After hearing his words, Xia Xiaoqiao’s eyes reddened slightly, and her gaze filled with grievance as she looked at him.

Gu Shaoting was at a loss for words; speaking from emotions was not something he could easily do.

However, he thought it over and realized Shu Pan’s concerns were quite valid.

Xia Xiaoqiao remained silent for a long while before saying, “Mr. Gu, you should rest well. I’ll head back first. Regarding the work transfer, can we discuss it when you’re back at work?”

Gu Shaoting could hear a slight choke in her voice and didn’t feel it was appropriate to say more, especially since he was in the hospital and couldn’t do much. It would be better to wait until he was out to talk further.

“Alright, take care of yourself. I’ve reported the incident, and someone is looking for him,” Gu Shaoting reminded her.

Xia Xiaoqiao nodded gratefully and then left.

…..

After returning home, Shu Pan freshened up and decided to cook personally – making congee to take to Gu Shaoting, who had been mentioning multiple times that he missed her cooking.

Indeed, ever since she started working, she had neglected him, not having cooked for quite some time. No wonder he had complaints.

Just as she was about to head to the kitchen, her cellphone rang. Who could it be?

It must be Gu Shaoting, probably calling to hurry her over.

She picked up the phone and paused – a landline?

“Hello, may I ask who’s calling?” Shu Pan asked gently.

“Hello, this is Lu Lei,” the other party said with a somewhat deep but pleasant voice.

“Director Lu? Is there something you need?” Shu Pan was genuinely surprised; she had not expected the director to call her personally.

“Oh, nothing much. I just heard you took a few days off and was wondering what happened, if there’s anything you need help with,” Lu Lei asked with concern.
