Of course, Charlene learned about Shu Pan and Joy’s visit a little late because she hadn’t left the secretary pool area. Later, Xiaoyu cback and informed her.
“Women and children? Calling Mr. Gu ‘Daddy’?” Charlene’s eyes widened at the news.
“Yeah, it’s said to be a little girl over four years old, very cute. The girl’s mom is gentle and kind-hearted, always speaking softly,” Xiaoyu said with a matter-of-fact tone, relaying what she had heard passing by the administrative department.
“That’s impossible, I don’t believe it. Mr. Gu isn’t married, how could he have a daughter?” Charlene retorted.
“But it was the receptionist who said it, so it’s probably true. I heard Mr. Gu personally went down to bring them up,” Xiaoyu explained.
“Mr. Gu went down himself?” Charlene muttered to herself.

Sgossip about the boss was normal, who would take it seriously? Certainly not like Charlene, who seemed overly concerned.
The phrase “daughter” once again shook Charlene.
She was just hearing this and that, not knowing what was true.
She needed to find out and then get closer to Brother Gu. After all, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy results in a hundred victories.
“Alright, let’s get back to work. Aren’t you supposed to prepare a document for Mr. Gu?” Xiaoyu noticed Charlene was lost in thought and quickly reminded her.
Charlene snapped back to reality and returned to her seat.
But even as she sat there, her mind was elsewhere.
Could this be the rumored fiancée? The description matches up, unlike that Tong Fei.
Gentle and soft-spoken? Was that the type Brother Gu likes?
If she’s the fiancée, was this child hers? Or was she willing to be a stepmother?
But women nowadays were more materialistic; they would do anything for money.
Her mind was in turmoil because she had just arrived and didn’t know who to ask for accurate information.
Wait, why had she forgotten? Brother Gu’s mother would surely know her son’s situation best. Asking her would definitely yield accurate information.
Charlene made up her mind to invite her out for dinner on the weekend.
During Charlene’s daydreaming, Xiaoyu had efficiently prepared all the documents Mr. Gu needed.

“Xiaoyu, why don’t you letdo it instead? I’ve been cooped up in the office all day today, so it’s a good opportunity forto stretch my legs,” Charlene suddenly felt it was a good chance to take a look at that woman. Everyone described her as gentle, not pretty, so she probably wasn’t very attractive.
Charlene thought scornfully to herself.
“Okay, thank you. If Mr. Gu isn’t in, just leave it on his desk,” Xiaoyu instructed.
“Sure.” Charlene took the files from Xiaoyu and headed toward Gu Shaoting’s office.
As she approached the office, just about to knock, Secretary Zhang suddenly emerged from the elevator. She saw Charlene about to knock.
“Charlene, do you need something from Mr. Gu?” Secretary Zhang asked as she approached, noticing the files meant for Mr. Gu. Wasn’t Xiaoyu supposed to deliver these? Looked like she was slacking off again.
“Oh, I’m just delivering sdocuments to Mr. Gu,” Charlene gestured with her chin towards the files.
“I happen to have something to discuss with Mr. Gu. Lettake them in,” Secretary Zhang said, without waiting for Charlene’s response, he simply took the files from Charlene’s hand.
