Chapter 99: A Call from the Sanatorium
The domineering Gong Siming grabbed Si Wan’s hand with their fingers interlocked. When they walked through the company, all the employees were stunned.
Aghast, they fixed their eyes on the couple.
When they almost reached Si Wan’s office, Gong Siming let go of her hand and stepped to the front.
As her hand was suddenly released, a flicker of frustration flashed across Si Wan’s eyes, but she continued to walk gracefully.
Gong Siming opened the door and looked indulgently at Si Wan who slowly caught up. After she got into the office, he followed in and closed the door.
During the short walk, their behavior reshaped people’s views and gave rise to much discussion.
The hubbub continued even after Gong Siming and Si Wan entered the office.
“Is that really President Gong?”
“How is it possible that President Gong treats Director Si so well?”
“Si Wan must have drugged President Gong!”
“No way, doesn’t President Gong have a girlfriend?”
The incessant discussions happened to be heard by Xiaoyu who just came to the company, “Don’t you need to work? How dare you openly discuss the privacy of the president and the director?”
Rolling their eyes, they went back to their posts.
“Snob!”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Someone cursed, and Xiaoyu instantly turned as black as thunder.
In a huff, Xiaoyu walked into Si Wan’s office. Before she could speak a word, she had been shocked by the scene!
Sitting at the desk, Si Wan was busy with her work. Next to her sat Gong Siming who gave a faint smile on his naturally cold face.
Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes forcefully, “Is this real?” While doubting, she took another glance!
“Oh my gosh, this is real!” As if discovering a big secret, Xiaoyu shouted excitedly.
Hearing her cry, Gong Siming couldn’t help frowning and taking a look at Si Wan. Quite happily she was gazing at Xiaoyu, and his knitted brows smoothed out.
“Why didn’t you take a day off?” Si Wan spoke to Xiaoyu concernedly.
No wonder people outside discussed like that. It turned out something huge happened. In her memory, Xiaoyu searched the timeline of their relationship for the exact point of their reconciliation but couldn’t find any clue.
At the sight of the absent-minded girl, Si Wan got up, walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and asked anxiously, “Any problem with the follow-ups of the commercial?”
Her question brought Xiaoyu back to reality. In a hurry, she greeted Gong Siming and Si Wan, “Hello, President Gong, Director Si!”
Gong Siming just hummed faintly. Sitting in the chair, he carefully reviewed the files sorted out by Si Wan.
Quite anxiously, Si Wan led Xiaoyu to the sofa. This time Gong Siming didn’t show any sign of anger.
In the past, as long as Si Wan slacked off a little, Gong Siming would fly into a rage. But now, he just sat there quietly, allowing Si Wan to have a chat.
This world was so marvelous, and wonders never ceased.
“Xiaoyu, what brought you here? Is there anything wrong?” Si Wan asked with concern.
Her caring look sent a stream of warmth through Xiaoyu, “Director, nothing happened. I’m just here to report for duty!”
Relieved by her explanation, Si Wan led Xiaoyu to the desk and sat back beside Gong Siming.
“President Gong, I need to discuss the follow-ups of the commercial with Xiaoyu. If you feel bored, you can read the books there.”
Since they were in the company, Si Wan needed to follow the rules.
Gong Siming nodded but showed no intention of getting up.
Leaving him alone, Si Wan and Xiaoyu discussed the details.
Gong Siming listened with a flicker of appreciation in his eyes.
He remembered what Yan Xiuya once told him. Si Wan was indeed a capable woman.
In terms of the advertisement alone, she took everything into consideration, including actor selection, subsequent development and cooperation, creative and filming, and even emergency policies.
With such an advertising director, the company would develop a stronger and more solid brand.
Impressed with Si Wan’s ideas, Gong Siming even wanted to start an advertising agency for her.
Both women were diligent in work, and Gong Siming couldn’t help joining in their discussions.
Inspired by the man, Si Wan found more branding points.
Too absorbed, they even forgot to have lunch. If Feng Qi didn’t come for Xiaoyu, the discussion in Si Wan’s office would probably last till evening.
Gong Siming certainly was not pleased with Feng Qi’s arrival, and his face was filled with hostility. How would he welcome a man who once wooed his wife?
Feng Qi, not afraid of facing the grumpy man, even reached out his hand to greet him politely, “President Gong, hello, I’m Feng Qi, the advertising spokesperson for our jewelry!”
In terms of courtesy, Gong Siming was always irreproachable. Quite gentlemanly, he held Feng Qi’s hand, “Nice to meet you.”
Fixing her eyes on Feng Qi, Xiaoyu soon found his features contorted while Gong Siming was still holding his hand calmly.
Ignorant of any Kong Fu, Xiaoyu certainly had no idea what was going on, but Si Wan did.
Si Wan looked helplessly at Gong Siming and intervened tactfully, “Xiaoyu, since Feng Qi is here, you should go with him for lunch. We can continue in the afternoon.”
Surprised by her words, Gong Siming let go of Feng Qi’s hand.
Feng Qi shook his wrist and said blandly, “See you, President Gong, Director Si.”
Xiaoyu ran to Feng Qi and held his arm. Laughing and talking, they walked away.
Gong Siming took a tumble. Back then, Zhang Qilin told a lie. Feng Qi’s target was Xiaoyu rather than Si Wan.
No wonder she didn’t mention a word about Feng Qi during the long stay in Country C.
After the documents on the table were put away, they also left for lunch.
Si Wan didn’t care about the gossip in the company at all. The best approach to smash it was through action.
Gong Siming also heard it. Since Si Wan didn’t care, he didn’t make any explanation. There was no need. If Si Wan was unhappy, he could simply fire them all.
Si Wan might have been through worse predicaments, and the thought distressed Gong Siming.
When they just reached the entrance of the restaurant, Gong Siming’s phone rang. As soon as the line got through, he showed a complicated look.
The call was from the sanatorium.
