C389 He Just Wanted to Freeload
Seeing Gu Xiaohui walk out of the office, Liu Chuang hurriedly went up to her and asked, "Director Gu, where are you going now?"
Gu Xiaohui looked in the direction of Ma Junhao's deputy chairman's office. Seeing that the door was closed, she asked Liu Chuang.
"Where is Vice Director Ma?"
Liu Chuang answered truthfully, "When I came out of my office, I did not see him. I think Vice Director Ma left the office before he left work."
"Where will this guy go?" Gu Xiaohui was a little puzzled.
Gu Xiaohui did not know that Ma Junhao was invited by Ma Xiaoli tonight to go to the Rongcheng International Hotel to have dinner with Shen Ao and Big Golden Tooth.
She remembered this afternoon when she announced Ma Junhao's appointment decision at the company's mid-level and above meeting. When Ma Junhao made the inauguration speech, the vice chairman Zhao Jianbing stood up on the spot and disagreed with him.
After the meeting, Ma Junhao walked into her office. She did not hold back when she scolded Ma Junhao. She felt that she had gone too far and thought about it.
"Did I say too much and hurt Ma Junhao's self-esteem? Is he angry with me? He left the company ahead of time without even greeting me?"
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaohui felt a little guilty.
She originally wanted to call Ma Junhao and ask him out for dinner or something, but she suddenly remembered that when her mother was on the phone with her this afternoon, she was unhappy because of Ma Junhao's matter, so she said to Liu Chuang.
"Take me home now!"
Liu Chuang nodded and immediately followed Gu Xiaohui into the special elevator for the chairman. They took the elevator to the bottom floor and jumped into Gu Xiaohui's private Mercedes-Benz 500 car.
After that, Liu Chuang started the car and drove Gu Xiaohui out of Gu's Group and towards the villa area where Gu Xiaohui's mother lived.
It was the peak hour after work.
There were more pedestrians and cars on the street, and it seemed to be congested. There were more traffic lights on the street, and the car was moving very slowly.
Gu Xiaohui felt a little irritated and closed her eyes. She leaned against the back seat of the car.
At this moment, the scene of her mother on the phone at noon flashed in her mind.
She remembered that before her father died, he was lying on the hospital bed in the People's Hospital's ICU. He told her not to divorce Wu Xu and to manage the company together with Wu Xu. She did not want to have any contact with Ma Junhao, so her heart was very heavy.
Now, she had gotten her wish and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to settle the divorce procedures. Not only did she have dealings with Ma Junhao, but she also appointed him as the deputy chairman of the Gu's Group's finance and personnel affairs, and he became the second most important person in the company.
"Who exactly told my mother that I appointed Ma Junhao as the vice chairman of Gu's Group?" Gu Xiaohui thought to herself, "If my mother told me about my father's last words, and asked me why I violated my father's last wish, how should I answer that? "
While Gu Xiaohui was thinking hard, Liu Chuang had quietly driven the Mercedes-Benz 500 car into the neighborhood and parked it in front of the villa where Gu Xiaohui and her daughter lived.
Liu Chuang turned around and saw Gu Xiaohui still leaning against the back seat with her eyes closed and deep in thought. He said,
"Director Gu, you're home!"
"Ah, so fast?" Gu Xiaohui exclaimed and opened her eyes. She looked out the window. Realizing that this was indeed her mother's home, she had an idea and said to Liu Chuang, "Liu, you have worked hard for the whole day. When you go back alone, it will be cold. Come with me to our house to eat!"
"This... How can I be embarrassed?" Liu Chuang said with some difficulty.
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Gu Xiaohui replied, "Your lover is our housekeeper. When you go back, you are not alone. When you go to eat with me, isn't it just about getting an extra pair of chopsticks?"
Wasn't it? Although Liu Chuang was ordered by Gu Xiaohui to bring his wife, Zhang Shuqin, from the countryside to the city, Gu Xiaohui asked Sun Yan to help them rent a house in the neighborhood across the street, but Liu Chuang's wife was Gu Xiaohui's housekeeper. Most of the time, they ate at Gu Xiaohui's mother's house. After Liu Chuang went home, he often ate alone, and most of the time, he would eat cold food.
Liu Chuang felt that Gu Xiaohui's words made sense, so he smiled at Gu Xiaohui and said gratefully, "Then I will thank Director Gu first."
"You are welcome!" Gu Xiaohui waved her hand, picked up her handbag, opened the car door, and got out of the car.
Liu Chuang also got out of the car and followed her to the door of the villa.
Gu Xiaohui took out the key from her handbag and opened the door on the first floor. She saw her mother sitting on the sofa and watching TV. She pretended that nothing had happened and said,
"Mom, I'm back!"
"You still know how to go home?" The old lady's face darkened and she was about to scold her. Seeing Liu Chuang follow her into the house, she tried to calm herself down. She stood up from the sofa and greeted Liu Chuang first. "Liu, you are here too?"
Liu Chuang smiled and said, "Mrs Gu, I'm sorry. I came to your house tonight to freeload..."
"Don't say that. Zhang is our nanny. It's only natural that you come to our house to eat." Mrs Gu made a gesture of invitation to Liu Chuang and said, "Liu, take a seat first. I will go to the kitchen. See if Zhang has finished cooking? "
At this time, Zhang Shuqin, who was wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen with a few plates of steaming hot dishes and placed them on the dining table in the dining hall.
She suddenly saw her husband standing in the living room and walked up to him. She asked, "Liu Chuang, why are you here?"
"Hehe," Liu Chuang laughed foolishly and touched his own head. He said, "It was Director Gu who asked me to come in for dinner with her..."
"Yes," Gu Xiaohui, who was standing by the side, agreed. "Liu went home alone and no one accompanied him for dinner. I called him over."
"Then why don't you thank Director Gu?" Zhang Shuqin winked at her husband.
"I have already thanked him!" Liu Chuang answered truthfully.
Gu Xiaohui waved her hand and said, "Everyone, don't be polite. Let's go eat together!"
With that, she threw her handbag onto the sofa in the living room and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Then she walked to the dining table and sat down on a stool beside her mother.
Zhang Shuqin led Liu Chuang to the kitchen to wash his hands and then went to the dining table together with Gu Xiaohui and her daughter to eat together.
When everyone was eating dinner, Liu Chuang and his wife were there. Mrs Gu did not mention to Gu Xiaohui why she appointed Ma Junhao as the vice chairman of Gu's Group. Instead, she kept praising Zhang Shuqin in front of Liu Chuang. She said how capable and diligent she was. She also said that Liu Chuang found such a good wife. It was like she had fallen into a pile of fortune. She wanted Liu Chuang to love her. She wanted to cherish their marriage and so on.
Gu Xiaohui knew that her mother was subtly criticizing her, saying that she should not divorce Wu Xu, much less be together with Ma Junhao. She felt that she had no appetite.
Thus, she took a few bites of the meal and lied that she was not feeling well. She put down the chopsticks and left the restaurant. She picked up her handbag from the sofa in the living room and went upstairs.
"Sigh..." Seeing her daughter leaving, Mrs Gu could not help but sigh.
