Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 497: Probing For Information

“Don’t mention it. It’s my pleasure.” Mr. Zhang felt a little embarrassed. He felt that his hard work was worth it when he saw that the beautiful woman was also modest and polite.

He put away the placard and turned to help Charlene with her bags.

Charlene walked in front while Mr. Zhang followed behind with a trolley wondering the whole time if it was a good idea to have such a beautiful woman working at Gu Group…

He also wondered what the beauty in front of him was thinking. She wouldn’t be causing any trouble at work, right?

When they got to the car, Mr. Zhang sat in the front passenger seat while Charlene sat in the back.

Charlene and Mr. Zhang chatted about the sights, sounds and culture of Bin City as they drove.

Suddenly, Charlene changed the subject and asked about Gu Shaoting.

“Brother Zhang, is Brother Gu very busy?” Charlene was smooth talker as she quickly changed the way she addressed Mr. Zhang from “Mr. Zhang” to “Brother Zhang”.

“Of course, he’s busy. It’s no easy feat for CEO Gu to manage such a big company.” Mr. Zhang’s tone was filled with deep admiration.

“Yeah, I heard from my father that he’s super impressive.” Charlene’s tone was filled with pride too.

“That’s for sure. But he’s probably not going to be busy with the company soon. I think he’ll be busy with his significant life event in the coming days.” Mr. Zhang could be a gossip sometimes, like how he was speaking cryptically now.

“His significant life event?” Charlene was shocked. What was going on? Although she had spent a lot of time overseas, she had majored in Chinese, so she knew the meaning of “significant life event”.

She might have heard that he had a girlfriend, but she wasn’t paying much attention. After all, there weren’t many women worthy of her Brother Gu. Moreover, most men with successful careers would not step into the tomb of love, marriage, so early in life.

“That’s right. Not many people know about this, and I’m telling you this in confidence now.” Actually, Mr. Zhang had his selfish motives. He wanted to tell her to warn her not to fall in love with the wrong man.

Charlene didn’t say anything. She looked out the window and thought to herself disdainfully, “It’s a little premature to talk about marriage, right?”

“Is she beautiful?” Charlene suddenly asked an unrelated question.

Women tend to compare themselves to others. Mr. Zhang could not help but shake his head.

“Are you referring to the future CEO spouse? Of course, she’s beautiful. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have caught CEO Gu’s eye.” Mr. Zhang was tempted to ask Charlene if she knew the obvious answer to her question.

“Did Brother Gu tell you what to do with me?” Charlene asked. She knew that familiarity bred romance, so she had to find out quickly.

“CEO Gu asked me to be your supervisor. You’ll be working with me as an executive assistant.” Mr. Zhang replied.

“Okay, I look forward to learning from you, Brother Zhang.” Charlene was rather satisfied with this arrangement because she would be working closely with the CEO; there would be plenty of opportunities for him to grow fond of her.

“Don’t mention it. We’ll learn together.” Mr. Zhang replied modestly.

They chatted happily all the way until they arrived at a hotel owned by Gu Group.

“Miss Charlene, please have a rest at the hotel first. You must be tired after such a long flight. I’ll bring you to see the apartment after you recover from your jetlag.” Mr. Zhang didn’t get to be Gu Shaoting’s secretary for nothing. He was a very thoughtful executive assistant.

After sending Charlene to the hotel to settle down, Mr. Zhang called Gu Shaoting. “CEO Gu, I’ve settled things for Miss Charlene. She’ll officially start work on Monday. She’s still jetlagged.”

“Okay, thanks. Good job. Take good care of her.” Gu Shaoting reiterated.
