Let's Divorce As Agreed

When Gu Huanhuan arrived at Qiyuan, she saw Shu Pan and Joy playing in the courtyard.

Joy was playing happily on the swing. Gu Huanhuan could heard her contagious and innocent laughter from afar.

“Huanhuan, what brings you here today?” Shu Pan was a little surprised when she saw Gu Huanhuan because she was usually busy shooting a drama, a film, or some kind of advertisement. She had never seen her so free.

“Filming for the TV series has wrapped, so I have more time now.” Gu Huanhuan said.

“I see. You should pay attention to rest too. After all, health is wealth. These overnight shoots are not good for you.” Shu Pan lamented.

“Thanks, cousin-in-law. Isn’t my cousin home already?” Gu Huanhuan looked around.

“Probably not so soon.” Shu Pan frowned when she said that. She didn’t want to tell Gu Huanhuan that Gu Shaoting had only called her once to let her know that he had landed safely and then no news.

She sent him a text message yesterday, worried that she would disturb him. She was still waiting for his reply.

She was worried, but then she thought that he was probably too busy to respond to her message.

“My cousin is a workaholic. He used to forget about eating or sleeping when he worked.” Gu Huanhuan added.

Gu Shaoting had indeed been swamped. After getting off the plane, he only had time to call Shu Pan to let her know that he had landed safely before he went into the office and busied himself with work.

When he was done for the day, it was already late at night in Shu Pan’s time zone. He couldn’t bear to disturb her sleep, especially when she was pregnant and needed her rest.

His family was his motivation to work hard. His tightly clenched mouth would relax and turn into a smile whenever he thought about them.

As long as he was with Shu Pan, it didn’t matter if things were stormy outside.

The problem he was facing now was very tricky; it was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Whenever Gu Shaoting worked overseas, he always went into office early, hoping to get everything done quickly so he could go home.

It rained last night, but the rain came and went quickly.

It was sunny the next day. Gu Shaoting and his secretary, Mr. Zhang, arrived early at the office. He habitually went to the pantry to pour himself a cup of coffee, the rawest, most bitter coffee that he fell in love with on his first business trip to France. It always kept him awake and alert all day.

Gu Shaoting started to bury himself in documents. After reviewing a few important documents, he could hear activity outside his office as people came into office. He stood up and slowly walked to the windows. Warn sunlight bathed his office and he could see the shiny leaves on the sycamore trees across the street swaying in the wind.

Then came a knock on his door. Gu Shaoting sighed softly and turned around. “Come in.”

Mr. Zhang placed another stack of documents on his desk. “CEO Gu, the meeting will start in half an hour. I’ve already placed the detailed agenda and meeting materials on your table. Please have a look.”

Gu Shaoting walked back to his desk, picked up the meeting agenda and read it. “Inform everyone that we will start the meeting in 15 minutes.” Although Gu Shaoting just had some sun on his skin, his voice was cold, flat, and deeper than usual.

He only found out the severity of the problem when he arrived. He heard that someone was maliciously driving up the share price of Gu Group. Some investors outside of China was interested in Gu Group’s business overseas.

The profits of their overseas business accounted for 40% of the entire group, so he must come up with a solution quickly and act decisively.
