CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 257 HE SIRUI

An Junxi heard Jin Xiu say this and thought Han Jiayi had gone to Yi Ke again to plead for her. She didn’t think much of it; once she was fully recovered in a few days, she would go find them to settle the score.

She said, "Your dad won’t pay any mind to her. You need to focus when you attend meetings at the company. After the meeting, Dad will ask you questions."

"No, Mommy, Dad was chatting happily with her!" Gu Jinxiu got anxious. "That woman was there for the meeting, and I think I recognize her. I’ll send you a photo in a bit."

An Junxi thought that if she was there for the meeting, it definitely wasn’t Han Jiayi or Liu Zhiwen. So who could she be?

Gu Jinxiu quickly sent over a photo. An Junxi opened it and saw that the photo was taken from the entrance of the lounge, quite a distance away. She could only see Gu Yikun and a woman sitting face-to-face on the opposite side of a desk.

She zoomed in on the image and could only see the woman’s side profile, not very clearly. She vaguely noticed that the woman looked okay.

Gu Yikun’s expression was not very clear, but at least he didn’t seem impatient.

An Junxi reminded herself not to be too suspicious. As the president of the group, Yi Ke interacted with many people; it was normal for him to talk with other women about business. She shouldn’t be so doubtful.

Acting like this would be no different from a resentful wife.

She replied to Gu Jinxiu: Dad is talking about business, don’t cause trouble, and pay attention.

An Junxi meant for Gu Jinxiu to pay attention to the meeting’s content, but she didn’t expect Gu Jinxiu to reply: Okay, Mommy, I’ll listen to what they’re talking about!

An Junxi was exasperated. What was this kid thinking? How could he be more curious than she was?

An Junxi trusted Gu Yikun a lot. She put down her phone and continued to coax Gu Aixi, who kept calling "Daddy." She pinched her daughter’s cheek, "You made such a fuss last night that Daddy couldn’t sleep well, and now you want to find Daddy again?"

Gu Aixi pouted and was about to cry.

An Junxi warned her, "Don’t pretend to cry, or Mommy won’t give you any milk."

Gu Aixi immediately smiled at An Junxi, "I want milk."

An Junxi was speechless, "You little foodie, changing your attitude so quickly just for food."

As long as she had food, she could be coaxed. Would she be tricked by others with just a piece of candy when she grew up?

An Junxi started to worry.

He Sirui looked at the confident President Gu in front of her. After so many years, he had become even more steady and handsome. How many women dreamed of such a man?

Her thoughts couldn’t focus on business. She remembered how deeply he loved Lv Mo back then and even rejected her for Lv Mo.

The reason she went abroad was because she felt she had no chance, so she went to a foreign country. Now, she heard news that President Gu had secretly married and even had a daughter.

She had known him for over twenty years and couldn’t believe that his personality would indulge in something as trivial as a flash marriage. After all, his political marriage with Yin Yue had already made him lose faith in marriage.

What kind of person was his wife?

He protected her so well that not even the media could dig up any extra information.

He Sirui guessed that maybe it was a marriage due to pregnancy.

She really wanted to meet his wife.

Gu Yikun made a few suggestions about the plan. Seeing He Sirui not responding much, he tapped the table with his pen twice, "Si Rui, you seem off today. Let’s talk next time, go attend the meeting first."

He Sirui snapped out of it, "No, I just got back recently. I flew in from Hong Kong to Yan City this morning. I was listening." President Gu was famously strict and showed no mercy to anyone. The fact that he even reminded her was already a rare kindness.

For anyone else, there wouldn’t be another chance to talk later.

Gu Yikun glanced at the time, "Go to the meeting." He stood up and walked out of the office.

Sitting on the sofa, Gu Jinxiu followed his dad. He Sirui caught up, teasing Gu Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, do you remember me? We met when you were in kindergarten!"

Gu Jinxiu had just learned her name was He Sirui, "I don’t remember." He just found her face somewhat familiar.

Dad seemed a bit different with this woman. He had to keep an eye on her for Mommy.

They walked into the meeting room. All the executives were already there. Gu Yikun took the main seat in the center, and Gu Jinxiu sat at the table beside him.

This meeting was mainly to finalize the opening event plan for the Gu family’s hotel resort investment in Russia. In recent years, the number of Chinese tourists traveling to Russia had been increasing, and the Russian government had relaxed policies for Chinese investment enterprises. With the Gu family’s financial backing and the grand jewelry exhibition by the He Group on the opening day, the newly completed hotel would instantly grab the attention of domestic and international media.

With perfect timing, geographical advantages, and harmonious people, Gu Yikun planned to visit Russia before the opening to inspect the preparations for the resort.

The meeting quickly finalized the key activities and major points for the opening. He Sirui said, "Two days before the event, our He Group will have a team of local bodyguards transport the jewelry for the exhibition to the hotel. This batch of jewelry is worth over 2 billion US dollars, so please ensure the hotel’s security measures are in place."

A responsible executive reassured her, "Miss He, rest assured. Our security is comparable to mercenaries. The room where the jewelry will be stored has multiple layers of security. Even military operatives would struggle to get through. The jewelry will be absolutely safe in the hotel."

He Sirui was satisfied, "Of course, I trust the Gu family’s capabilities. Besides the Gu family, no other group could pull this off."

Gu Yikun added several more suggestions before adjourning the meeting and instructing the executives to implement them.

He returned to his office, with He Sirui following him in.

Gu Jinxiu also followed into the office. The meeting was over; why wasn’t this woman leaving?

He Sirui sat down in front of Gu Yikun, "We’ve been discussing business all morning. I almost forgot I had other things to talk to you about."

"What is it? I have other appointments after this."

He Sirui heard his businesslike tone, "It’s been so many years, Yi Ke, can’t you be a bit more patient with me?"

Gu Yikun leaned back in his chair, "Go ahead." That was his way of showing patience.

He Sirui sighed, "Qian Nuan asked me to tell you that Liu Zhiwen had a misunderstanding with your wife at Wanling Entertainment. She hopes you won’t be too harsh on Liu Zhiwen."

Gu Yikun crossed his long legs, "I won’t be harsh on her. I’ve given full authority to my wife to handle it. It’ll be up to her."

He Sirui noted his indulgence for his wife. His implication was that as long as his wife was happy, she could do whatever she wanted?

What kind of skills did his wife have to make President Gu spoil her like this?

He Sirui felt a bit uneasy. She knew Gu Yikun didn’t like aggressive women, so she tried to calm herself and asked with a smile, "You’re so good to your wife. When will I have the honor to meet her?"

"She is resting at home. There will be opportunities in the future."

He Sirui maintained her smile, "I look forward to meeting Mrs. Gu."

Gu Yikun began to see the guest off, "If there’s nothing else, let’s meet next time in Russia."

He Sirui did not agree, "Does that mean I can’t come to see you at the Gu family in the meantime?"
