Chapter 85: If I Can’t Do It, I Will Resign
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Nianyao knew that her position in the Gu Corporation was awkward. Many people ridiculed her for relying on her body to get to the top. Gu Wencheng had said that she could admit her identity as Mrs. Gu, but Meng Nianyao didn’t want to do so. The identity “Mrs. Gu” could certainly slap some of the people who mocked her, but it would bring more trouble in the process. It was better to let everyone guess.
Fu Yi looked at Meng Nianyao and suddenly nodded. “Since that’s the case, I’ll give you a chance to perform. This is one of the parts of the entertainment city. The government has requested that this place become one of the city’s landmark buildings. Since you think you have the ability, you will be in charge of this part. If you can do it, it will prove that you have the ability to stay in the design team. If you can’t do it…”
“If I can’t do it, 1’11 resign.” Meng Nianyao took the initiative to speak without Fu Yi’s reminder.
“Alright, ten days. I hope you can give me and the company a satisfactory design plan.” Fu Yi sneered. Now, she was waiting to see how Meng Nianyao would leave dejectedly in ten days!
Meng Nianyao’s expression was calm throughout the entire interaction. She took the documents and left the office.
Soon it was lunchtime. Gu Wencheng called for her. “Mrs. Gu, it’s time for lunch.”
“Okay, got it.”
However, after ten minutes, Gu Wencheng didn’t see Meng Nianyao. He had no choice but to call her again. Meng Nianyao slapped her head and got up while apologizing. “I’ll be right there.”
On the top floor, Meng Nianyao pushed open the office door and saw a packed lunch box on the coffee table. Gu Wencheng was sitting on the sofa. He raised his eyebrows when he heard the door open.” Mrs. Gu, why is that I have to keep calling you for lunch?”
Meng Nianyao walked over and kissed Gu Wencheng. “I was so busy that 1 forgot. Mr. Gu, please forgive me.”
After a sweet lunch, Meng Nianyao felt like she had been recharged and was full of energy again. These few days, she had slowly realized that a good relationship could make a person better and better. Now, she felt that her condition was slowly improving! Visibly!
Time passed quickly. By the time Meng Nianyao came back to her senses, most of the people in the office had left. Gu Wencheng called and she picked up the call. At the same time, she took her things and walked out. I’ll be right there. Wait a moment.”
Ten minutes later, Meng Nianyao got into Gu Wencheng’s car. “Let’s go to the supermarket first. Grandma called me and said that she wanted to cook for us tonight, but the housekeeper bought the wrong vegetables, so she asked us to bring the right ones to her on the way.”
Grandma Gu didn’t usually cook, but when she did, she would definitely strive for perfection.
Gu Wencheng drove the car out and turned the steering wheel to look at Meng Nianyao. “Do you know how to buy them?”
“Are you underestimating me?” Meng Nianyao was looking at the list Grandma Gu had sent her when she heard Gu Wencheng’s words.
“It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but you rarely cook at home. I don’t know the depth of your ability.”
“Are you complaining that 1 don’t cook for you?” Meng Nianyao snorted.
“Hm, that’s one way of interpreting it.”
“Mr. Gu, you’re a CEO. Don’t you know that the rarer something is, the more valuable it is?”
Gu Wencheng felt that Meng Nianyao had changed and became more cheerful. He was happy to see such a change; after all, no one wanted the people around them to be depressed and full of negative energy.
There was a traffic jam during peak hours, and they had to go to the supermarket to buy things. By the time Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao arrived at the old mansion, it was already two hours later.
Gu Wencheng’s car had just stopped when Meng Nianyao ran into the house with her things. She shouted as she ran, “Grandma, I’m sorry we came back late.”
Grandma Gu saw that Meng Nianyao was covered in sweat from running, so she wiped it off for her, feeling sorry. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Look at how tired you are.”
Meng Nianyao stuck out her tongue and looked at the clay pot on the kitchen stove. “Grandma, are you done?” she asked.
“I made chicken soup. It’s almost ready—come, try some.” Grandma Gu opened the lid of the clay pot and scooped out a spoonful of chicken soup, which she then blew on and brought to Meng Nianyao’s mouth.
Meng Nianyao took a sip. Her eyes lit up. She looked at the fragrant chicken soup in the pot and asked, “Grandma, what did you use to make it? It’s delicious!” It tastes different from the chicken soup I usually have..”
