Chapter 81.1: You're Done For Part 1

Names mentioned in this chapter :

-苏芮 (sù ruì) - Su Rui, our female protagonist

-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead

-顾安安(gù ān'ān)- Gu An An, Gu Yan Rui's nickname.

-王洲(wáng zhōu) - Wang Zhou, Gu Yu Cheng's assistant

Su Rui turned her head around to find her son missing. She instinctively panicked, "Where's Gu An An?!"

Wang Zhou heard Su Rui's voice and looked in that direction. His expression also changed when he didn't see Gu An An.

A moment ago, he was explaining to the lady boss about the project. When he was not paying attention, he didn't even notice when Gu An An climbed out of the fence.

Looking at the open office door, Wang Zhou reassured Su Rui, "Madam, don't fret. An An might have heard the chairman's voice and climbed out."

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them went out to look for him, they saw Gu An An on the floor, crawling to the other end of the corridor.

At this time, Gu An An was crawling very quickly.

Before Su Rui and Wang Zhou could catch up with him, Gu An An already crawled through the crack of the conference room's door and entered the room.

Su Rui didn't even know that her son could actually crawl so fast.

Normally at home, regardless of whether Su Rui used his small toys as coercion or a tasty treat as a lure, Gu An An didn't even bother to crawl.

So much so that Su Rui was worried that her son's motor skills were not well developed.

Who knew that it isn't that this little guy can't crawl, but that he is too lazy to do so?!

Meanwhile, in the conference room.

"Is that all you have to say? Okay, next, let's have the engineering department present. Gu Yu Cheng's cold voice sounded in the conference room.

His tone was monotonous, but it sent shivers down others' spines.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Yu Cheng felt something at his feet, tugging the bottom of his trousers.

Gu Yu Cheng's eyes moved slightly and he looked down to find his son lying at his feet.

Gu Yu Cheng's gaze immediately softened a little.

Seeing Gu Yu Cheng finally looking at himself, Gu An An called out with a silly smile on his face as he tugged the bottom of his dad's trousers, "Yú Yú, Yú Yú..."

'Yu Cheng' was what Su Rui usually called Gu Yu Cheng. It was unknown when did Gu An An learn it.

Unfortunately, the pronunciation of these two words together was a little too complicated for Gu An An, so it became 'Yú Yú'[1] for him.

Gu An An's thoughts are still very simple now.

Even as a child, he could sense that the adults were in a bad mood.

Usually when his mother called his father that, his father would be very happy, so he called him that too.

The moment he saw Gu An An, Gu Yu Cheng's gaze subconsciously drifted to the direction of the conference room door.

At first glance, he saw the woman's figure behind the door.

The corner of his lips raised unconsciously.

Then, he looked down at his son again.

Doesn't he know how to say 'dad'?

Gu Yu Cheng quirked his eyebrow and said inwardly.

He reached over and lifted Gu An An's trouser belt behind his back and carried him with one hand.

Outside the meeting room, Su Rui watched as her son crawled in without being noticed. She originally thought that it would be inconvenient for her to go in at this time and she could ask Wang Zhou to go in and bring Gu An An out while he delivers documents to Gu Yu Cheng.

Now, seeing that Gu Yu Cheng already picked his son up, Su Rui had no choice but to leave it as it is.

And at this moment in the conference room.

The people, who were trembling with fear because of this meeting, were originally inwardly bewildered by the chairman's series of actions.

The next moment, however, they saw the chairman fishing a child out from under the table and carrying the child to sit on his lap.

Everyone was astonished.

Although Gu An An came to Gu Company before, he mostly stayed quietly in his dad's office and rarely appeared in public.

However, the extreme resemblance to Gu Yu Cheng's features makes it impossible for one to doubt his identity.

This was their Gu Company's Crown Prince? The rumoured Gu Yan Rui?!

Looking at the child who was placed on Gu Yu Cheng's lap, everyone thought to themselves.

No wonder the chairman's expression suddenly changed just now.

When did he come in?

......

After Gu An An was placed on his dad's lap, he didn't cry or make a fuss.

He just sat upright on his dad's lap. His big eyes were staring with curiosity as he surveyed the group of adults in front of him.

Gu Yu Cheng looked down, glanced at his son and then at the group of people. He reminded them, "Engineering department."

"Yes, Chairman."

The manager of the engineering department was a very capable and experienced middle-aged woman who immediately stood up when she heard Gu Yu Cheng's words.

"The engineering department did have a great responsibility for this project blunder. First of all, on one hand..."

The engineering department manager was making an error analysis, while her gaze was unconsciously looking in the direction of Gu An An.

At this moment, Gu An An was sitting particularly obediently on his dad's lap.

He was wearing a baby suit with a fake shirt collar, with a small suit vest on the outside, and a small bow tie of the same vibrant colour as the chairman's tie hanging from the collar.

It looked like a parent-child outfit with the Chairman.

Not only was the dressing the same, but Gu An An's features and current expression were also identical to their chairman's.

Furthermore, when she spoke just now, Gu An An would tilt his head and look at her as if he was very attentive.

Such a scene was so adorable that the female staff at the scene were almost exploding because of the cuteness.

Their Gu Company's Crown Prince was too cute!

Even the chairman, who was so frightening a minute ago, was not so terrifying now.

After the engineering department manager finished speaking, Gu Yu Cheng did not comment and called on the marketing department again.

At this time, Gu An An, who was very quiet and 'serious,' suddenly burst out laughing.

He then turned his chubby body to face his father and smiled at him in a seemingly sheepish manner.

Gu Yu Cheng noted the change in his son's expression. He suddenly noticed something and his face darkened.

"The marketing department will cooperate in the follow-up of the delayed opening of the project," Gu Yu Cheng said. He stopped the marketing manager who was about to stand up and 'recite the investigation report'.

"I don't wish to hear any more bad market feedback."

"I understand, Chairman."

"Also..." Gu Yu Cheng looked at the group of people in front of him again, "Gu Company has the ability to take risks because of what it possesses. However, I don't accept such low-level blunders."

"Just this once. All departments can return and do their follow-up work."

"Meeting adjourned." After saying that, Gu Yu Cheng got up and immediately left with Gu An An in his arms.

[1] The pronunciation of 煜(yù)-brilliant/glorious in Gu Yu Cheng's name is different from how Gu An An pronounced it 鱼(yú)- fish.
