After finishing her conversation with Ye Xiaomeng, Shu Pan hung up the phone, finished washing up, and cout. Joy, seeing her, said somewhat unhappily, “Mommy, you’re so slow!”
“Sorry, sweetie, Mommy was chatting with godmother,” Shu Pan replied.
“Madam, cand have your meal,” Auntie Li called out as she saw Shu Pan cout.
“Auntie Li, just callShu Pan,” Shu Pan corrected her again. She really wasn’t used to being called “Madam,” and besides, she wasn’t one yet. Who knows what might change?
Auntie Li smiled. Madam really had no airs about her.
“Mommy, I’m so bored at home,” Joy said, feeling a bit bored after staying hall morning.
“Where do you want to go then?” Shu Pan asked casually as she sipped her soup.

“But Daddy is busy with work. We might disturb him if we go,” Shu Pan patiently explained.
“No, I want to go see Daddy,” Joy started to pout a little.
Thinking about how Joy had just recovered from her illness, Shu Pan agreed.
After finishing their meal, Shu Pan went back to her room, changed into a simple and elegant long skirt, put on a pair of slightly heeled shoes, and applied light makeup.
“Mommy, you look so beautiful today!” Joy, the little flatterer, remarked.
“Isn’t Mommy always beautiful?” Shu Pan teased her.
“You’re always beautiful, but today you’re the most beautiful,” Joy said, grabbing Shu Pan’s hand and leading her outside.
“Let Mommy make a call first, just in case Daddy is busy,” Shu Pan suggested worriedly. She thought it might be too abrupt for them to just show up.
“No, don’t call. Mommy, let’s surprise Daddy!” Joy, mischievous as always, wanted to surprise her dad. Hopefully, it wouldn’t end up being a shock.
“Alright, we’ll do it your way,” Shu Pan conceded. She blamed Gu Shaoting for spoiling Joy with his idea that daughters should be raised in luxury. Now Joy was getting a bit spoiled.
The two of them arrived at Gu Group, and after getting out of the car, Shu Pan was feeling a bit hesitant.
But Joy dragged her inside, looking happily.
“Hello, could you please inform Mr. Gu?” Shu Pan, coming for the first tfor personal matters, wasn’t sure what procedures to follow, so she decided to have the receptionist notify him.
“Sorry, do you have an appointment?” The receptionist, who had only been here for two months, was following protocol.
“No, if it’s convenient, please let him know. Otherwise, I can also look for Secretary Zhang.” Shu Pan thought about it, worrying that Gu Shaoting might be in a meeting.
“Alright, letcheck with the secretary’s office.” The receptionist dialed the number for the secretary’s office, but Xiaoyu and Secretary Zhang were both unavailable, leaving only Charlene.
“Hello, is Mr. Gu available? There’s a Ms. Shu looking for him,” the receptionist inquired.

“She just asked to pass on a message; Mr. Gu will see her,” the receptionist replied, feeling pressured by Charlene’s aggressive tone.
“Is it business or personal?” Charlene continued to inquire.
“Personal,” the receptionist replied, feeling a bit intimidated by Charlene’s assertiveness.
Personal matters? Who is this Ms. Shu? Are women nowadays so bold? Coming to the office and causing a scene?
“The CEO is busy,” Charlene said before promptly hanging up the phone.
The receptionist looked bewildered, staring at the now disconnected call, feeling somewhat lost.
“Sorry, the CEO is busy,” the receptionist could only say.
“It’s okay,” Shu Pan smiled, not wanting to make things difficult for her. She understood the rules of a large corporation.
She crouched down to Joy’s eye level and said, “Sweetheart, Daddy is busy. How about we go hand wait for him there?”
