Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me
Chapter 228 - Chapter 228 Chapter 228 Stop Rubbing It Hurts (4)

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Stop Rubbing, It Hurts (4) Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Stop Rubbing, It Hurts (4) Speculations abound that the recent personnel restructuring within the Gu Corporation and the scandals involving the improper conduct of the Gu heir are related, and there are even rumors that the senior management is dissatisfied with the new CEO and is calling for Chairman Gu Yanming to take back control of the company.

Lu Wanwan grew increasingly uneasy as she read on.

Although there hadn’t been much new progress with the incident last time, it hadn’t been resolved either, and the company was still affected internally.

What should she do? Should she come forward and reveal everything?

But the news that the fiancee had run into trouble at Entertainment City wasn’t something presentable either.

She had eaten half her breakfast when the chair opposite her was suddenly pulled out.

Gu Annan sat down directly, and upon seeing the food on the table, he lost his temper, “Lu Wanwan, are you planning on letting me starve?”

Lu Wanwan blinked, her fork halfway to her mouth, and had to pause, “Weren’t you not here just now?”

“Couldn’t you have ordered for me?” he countered.

“I didn’t know when you’d be back, and I didn’t know what to order for you.”

Gu Annan glanced at the phone in her other hand, “Holding your phone the whole time, you couldn’t call to ask me?”

“…”

Lu Wanwan hadn’t thought of that at all, as she still wasn’t used to calling him unless it was something important.

“What do you want to eat then, the menu.”

She held out the menu with both hands and passed it over to him.

Gu Annan glanced at it without any real intention of taking a closer look, “Don’t you know how slow service is here?”

She bit fiercely into the fruit on her fork, what a temper!

“Then what exactly do you want to eat?”

Gu Annan looked at her plate, the obvious implication clear, yet he stubbornly refused to say it directly.

Lu Wanwan felt a bit helpless; there was only a salad left, and even if she gave him the whole thing, it wouldn’t be enough to fill his teeth gaps.

“Anything,” he said, looking up and down with a very picky expression.

“Then it’s all yours.”

Gu Annan lifted an eyelid, “You’re letting me eat your leftovers?”

“…” Was she really supposed to put up with this?

“It’s not like it’s not okay, but I’ve been pampered and well-fed, I expect to be spoon-fed!” he said languidly, emphasizing “pampered and well-fed” quite specially, just as she had mentioned last night.

Lu Wanwan felt her face heat up as she thought of last night.

Rolling her eyes, she stabbed with her fork, not caring what it hit, “Open up!”

Gu Annan’s face darkened, “Lu Wanwan!”

Looking down, she cursed her luck for having stabbed a lemon!

…

After eating more than half of that salad, Gu Annan had to leave for something.

It wasn’t until he was about to leave that she remembered, amidst all the distractions, she hadn’t asked him about the recent news.

She picked up the newspaper and hurried after him, “Gu Annan, what’s going on with this?”

He turned to glance at it, “It’s nothing.”

“But it looks serious in the paper!” Lu Wanwan said as she followed him outside, “Is this trouble big? Are you going to resign to take the blame? Does everyone in the company have complaints about you?”

Gu Annan, finding it a headache to listen, snatched the paper and casually stuffed it into a trash can before leaving.

“Nagging!”

This morning, the old master also expressed his dissatisfaction on the phone.

“I’m giving you a serious warning, your frivolousness, debauchery, lack of steadiness, and absence of responsibility have greatly disappointed the shareholders! More than one person has brought this up to me, and there’s the recent storm of reports in the city. Don’t you feel ashamed? Do I, at my age, really have to come out and take control again to save the day?”

“Dad, if you have something to say, please just say it.”

“The company’s senior management and shareholders have been complaining about you lately, and in public surveys, you’ve become one of the least reliable heirs. Do you have any idea how many people are predicting that the Gu family’s business empire will be ruined by your hands?”
