“Why don’t you like me? How am I inferior to Shu Pan? I’m younger and more outstanding than her. Besides, your company is in crisis now. I can help you.” Charlene said with sudden agitation, her expression a little wild.

Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but frown. He was silent for a moment before he said, “Charlene, thank you for your admiration. You’re still young, and you’ll meet someone better.”

Gu Shaoting didn’t want to make things worse. After all, he and John were still business partners.

However, he felt that if he didn’t reject her hard enough, Charlene would keep thinking that she had a chance…

“I don’t want anyone else. I only want you.” Charlene said as she pounced on him and hugged him tightly around the waist.

Gu Shaoting was not mentally prepared and was shocked. Charlene held him with so much force that he stumbled backward.

After Gu Shaoting steadied himself, he quickly pulled her off him.

His tone was harsher when he said, “Charlene, stop wasting your time on me. I will never fall for you.”

Gu Shaoting’s words were like a sharp knife stabbed directly into Charlene’s heart.

Her mind went blank for a minute before she sobbed, “But I like you so much.”

“Charlene, don’t waste time on someone who doesn’t love you. Look at other people around you. You may find your true love among them.” Gu Shaoting was running out of patience.

Charlene was stunned and didn’t respond.

“I still have work to do, so I won’t see you out. Take care.” Gu Shaoting went back to his desk, hoping that Charlene would come to her senses.

Since Gu Shaoting had “ordered” her to leave, Charlene didn’t stay any longer.

She took her Chanel bag and left in disappointment.

She looked completely different from when she walked in. Her face was pale and she couldn’t walk straight.

She did not want to go home, so she headed to the mall and shopped like crazy.

It was only when her hands were full of shopping that she squatted down and wailed.

She wanted to vent her frustration of not being able to get her man.

When Charlene finally looked up and saw that it was already dark outside, she carried her things and walked into a bar next door.

She felt that only alcohol could numb her pain now.

She needed to get stone drunk so she could forget her troubles and those hurtful words.

…

Gu Shaoting stayed in his office and thought for a long time. He was at his wits’ end. He was worried that moving funds from the headquarters would affect his company’s domestic operations.

He seemed a little tired. He took off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons on his shirt.

He looked a little ruffian now but was still tall and handsome. The noble aura that he exuded was never easy to ignore.

Just as he was about to walk out of the office, his phone rang.

Gu Shaoting looked at the caller ID and was a little surprised. It was him?

It was Qin Zhen calling.

They had become friends and exchanged phone numbers at the business banquet.

Gu Shaoting did not expect him to call him so soon.

But he didn’t hesitate and immediately picked up the phone.

He stood at the office entrance with one hand in his trouser pocket. He looked handsome and distinct from behind, his entire body exuding an elegant but understated aura.

“Hello, Qin Zhen.” Gu Shaoting said first.

“Hello, are you free? Let’s go for a drink.” Qin Zhen went straight to the point as soon as the call connected.

“I’m at the office. You may need to wait for a little bit. Send me the address and I’ll be there soon.” Gu Shaoting thought that he might as well join Qin Zhen for a drink since his wife and daughter weren’t around and he’d be bored if he went back to the hotel.

“Okay, see you soon.” Qin Zhen said happily.
