Chapter 326: Chapter 326: The President’s Wife Comes to Inspect
An Junxi changed into an eye-catching long dress and went to Gu’s Headquarters. This time, instead of going up from the parking lot, she walked proudly through the lobby and took the president’s private elevator.
From the moment she got out of the car, she attracted a hundred percent turning of heads.
Employees who recognized the president’s wife enthusiastically came up to greet her. An Junxi nodded slightly, indicating her acknowledgment. The receptionist pressed the elevator button for her, and she went up to the president’s office with an imposing air.
Secretary Wang was not surprised that the wife would come, but she seemed to be in a bad mood today.
Could they have fought again? Is the president’s wife here to check on him?
Secretary Wang stood up nervously, and An Junxi asked her, "Secretary Wang, is the president inside?"
"The president is in the meeting room, discussing the ribbon-cutting plan for the new hotel opening in Saint Petersburg."
"Is He Sirui there as well?"
Secretary Wang nodded, "Yes, along with many other executives."
An Junxi walked into the office, "I’ll wait inside."
Secretary Wang brought coffee for the lady. An Junxi, noticing her cautious demeanor, said, "I’m just here to take a look, don’t be nervous."
Secretary Wang smiled bitterly inside; how could she not be nervous? When the president was unhappy, it was they who suffered the most!
An Junxi sat in Gu Yikun’s chair, overlooking the skyscrapers outside. It was indeed very imposing.
He Sirui once mentioned she really liked this office, because of two words: very imposing.
An Junxi knew she was very infatuated with Yikun. In fact, many women wanted to be close to President Gu, given his status.
Now that President Gu had already become her private possession, she hoped He Sirui would recognize the situation and not hold any unnecessary fantasies about Yikun.
Gu Yikun’s meeting ended. Secretary Wang saw that Miss He still wanted to follow the president into the office and reminded, "President, the lady is here."
Gu Yikun knew his little wife’s temperament. He turned to look at He Sirui, and He Sirui, holding documents, said, "I need to clarify some doubts before I leave."
Since that awkward night in Russia, today was their first meeting.
He Sirui had prepared for a long time but still felt nervous about seeing him. She knew he now somewhat looked down on her.
She convinced herself that to gain something, one must first lose a part. This was the cost.
She couldn’t be easily defeated.
Liu Zhiwen was an example of failure. She was different from Liu Zhiwen. With the He Family backing her, she had more resources, while An Junxi was just from an ordinary family; how could she compare?
Gu Yikun nodded without speaking further and pushed the door open. He Sirui followed behind.
Gu Jinxiu glared intensely at He Sirui’s back, knowing full well his mommy was inside, yet this woman still wanted to go in. How shameless!
An Junxi watched Gu Yikun and He Sirui enter together. She smiled gently and asked, "Busy today?"
Gu Yikun felt a chill. Why did his wife’s smile feel so odd?
He went over and hugged her shoulders, "Not too busy. I can still accompany you for a stroll later."
An Junxi remained seated in his chair and had no intention of moving, "I won’t disturb you, will I? Jin Xiu, have you been obedient in the company today?"
Gu Jinxiu adjusted his little tie and said, "I’ve been very obedient." Mommy had asked him to gather information. He had been watching that vixen the entire meeting and didn’t lose focus at all.
He Sirui thought this child liked her. She said, "Jin Xiu is very smart and obedient. Jun Xi, you’ve taught him well. I really admire you."
An Junxi now understood that He Sirui wanted to follow Liu Zhiwen’s path.
Pretend to be harmless, get along well with everyone, and if she ever made a move in the future, An Junxi would become the unpopular one and be at a disadvantage.
"I am his mother. Teaching him is my duty."
Gu Yikun said to her, "I have some work to finalize. Please wait a moment."
An Junxi stood up, "I’ll leave the seat to you."
Gu Yikun’s eyebrows raised, his gaze sweeping over her dress, eyes filled with deep admiration.
The dress perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Her natural temperament leaned towards demure and elegant, but today, with slightly curled hair, she added a touch of playfulness, looking like a youthful and vibrant girl from an academy.
He was five years older than her. He used to think the age gap wasn’t a problem, but now seeing his little wife getting prettier, he instead worried he might seem too old, dull, and uninteresting.
An Junxi could tell from Gu Yikun’s eyes that her husband was completely captivated. She gave him a sweet smile, "Do you want to sit here, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Yikun’s heart fluttered. His long fingers naturally wound around her fragrant hair. He lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, saying, "You sit. I’ll finish quickly."
An Junxi shyly smiled, "Then I’ll continue sitting here. Miss He, I hope I won’t affect your discussion."
He Sirui’s heart was nearly overcome by jealousy. An Junxi had merely worn a new dress, yet the president was utterly infatuated.
Didn’t they see each other every day and yet never get tired of it?
Gu Jinxiu covered his eyes, "You’re kissing again."
He Sirui forced a smile, "No problem at all. We’re just discussing some business."
Yu Zheng knocked and came in with an important document. Seeing the confrontational atmosphere in the office, he found it strange. As he left, he took Gu Jinxiu with him, "Come out, I’ll teach you about the meeting."
Gu Jinxiu didn’t want to leave; he wanted to see how mommy would deal with the vixen!
Yu Zheng covered his mouth and took him out. Secretary Wang, seeing Assistant Yu’s swift action, gave a thumbs up, "Assistant Yu, you’re impressive!"
Gu Jinxiu, struggling angrily, declared, "When I grow up, I’ll definitely beat you, Uncle Yu Zheng!"
Yu Zheng replied, "At least, you can’t beat me now."
In the office, Gu Yikun sat next to An Junxi, and He Sirui sat opposite them. The atmosphere was somewhat tense.
He Sirui was accustomed to President Gu’s efficient and decisive work style and had never had a meeting where he brought his wife to listen.
She was so upset that she completely forgot what she was going to say.
Gu Yikun listed a few key points, confirming the special guest invites for the jewelry exhibition. He mentioned that he had limited time for the exhibition, and asked the He Group to follow up throughout to ensure they captured the media’s and the guests’ attention within the limited timeframe.
An Junxi saw He Sirui’s vacant look and wondered if she was listening.
She tapped the table, "Miss He, what are you thinking about? Any questions?" Even though she wasn’t familiar with the project, she got a rough idea from Yikun’s explanation.
The jewelry provided by the He Group was worth billions. How could she seem so indifferent?
Gu Yikun leaned back in his chair, "If Miss He is not feeling well, my secretary will later send you the revised contract. You can just review the revised version."
He Sirui snapped out of it. She rarely made such mistakes before.
She was caught by An Junxi, making her look bad in front of the president.
