Chapter 931: Chapter 930 How to Pacify an Angry Woman

Gu Shaoting had been feeling quite troubled lately, so he disliked lingering outside and would usually ask a senior company executive to replace him at social gatherings while he went home.

He thought that part of Shu Pan’s anger was due to his frequent socializing, coming home late, and drinking.

He remembered that she had warned him many times, but because he was very busy during that period, he had ignored her warnings.

Probably because of that, Shu Pan must have felt quite disheartened.

Today, before it was time to leave work, Gu Shaoting had already packed up his things, planning to leave.

Xia Xiaoqiao happened to knock on the door and come in; she had some documents for Gu Shaoting to approve. Seeing him already dressed and holding a document bag, she was a bit startled, “Mr. Gu, are you leaving?”

But when she had just come in, she had checked the time, and it didn’t seem like it was time to leave work yet.

During her tenure as a secretary at the Corporation, she had never seen Mr. Gu leave early.

“Yes, is there something?” Gu Shaoting inquired.

“Oh, there’s a document that needs your approval,” Xia Xiaoqiao pointed at the document in her hand.

“If it’s not urgent, I’ll deal with it tomorrow when I come to work,” Gu Shaoting said.

“Alright, then I’ll place it on your desk,” after saying that, Xia Xiaoqiao placed the document on the desk.

“Secretary Xia, when you women are angry, how do you hope the other person will coax you?” Gu Shaoting, as if possessed, blurted out the question, thinking that since Xia Xiaoqiao was a woman, she would understand the mentality of women better.

Xia Xiaoqiao’s heart skipped a beat, unable to believe that the aloof and high-up Mr. Gu would ask such a question.

Her heart suddenly felt a bit empty; she didn’t understand why she felt this way.

Not long after she joined the Corporation, she had heard people say that Mr. Gu adored his wife, and that Mrs. Gu was formerly an employee of the Corporation and had only left to take care of their child and the household.

During her time here, she had not seen Mrs. Gu visit the company even once.

She was actually quite curious and wanted to see what the woman who conquered Mr. Gu looked like.

However, unfortunately, she had never had the chance.

Now with Mr. Gu asking like this, she guessed he must have made Mrs. Gu angry, hence his talk of making amends.

As she thought this, her heart felt a bit heavy.

“Mr. Gu, to be honest, I’ve never been coaxed by anyone,” Xia Xiaoqiao said self-deprecatingly and then continued, “But women like surprises. You could create some for her, like buying her a bouquet of flowers or a piece of her favorite cake. It doesn’t need to be expensive, just a considerate little surprise that I guess all women would like.”

Xia Xiaoqiao’s summary was quite to the point. She believed that Mrs. Gu lacked for nothing and that leading a life at home could be very boring, so a small surprise would probably make her very happy.

“Alright, thank you,” Gu Shaoting said, then prepared to leave.

“The mousse cakes from Happiness Bakery are delicious and not greasy, with a faint and pleasant fragrance. Many women love them. Mr. Gu, you could buy one to try for Mrs. Gu,” Xia Xiaoqiao suggested.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoting thought it was a good and simple idea, so he thanked her again.

After Gu Shaoting left, Xia Xiaoqiao stood still on the spot for a moment, then came out and closed the door to the CEO’s office behind her.

Following the navigation’s directions, Gu Shaoting arrived at Happiness Bakery, which was as crowded as Xia Xiaoqiao had said. He parked the car well and walked into the store.

The shop was filled with the scent of cakes. Gu Shaoting looked at the cakes in the display window, selected a few of the shop’s specialties, had them packed, and headed home.
