Lounge.
When Gong Chen and Gong Shiyan entered the room, Gong Yao was sitting next to the old man.
He held a tea cup, looked at the people entering, but did not get up, only nodded slightly.
"Sit down. Dad has been waiting for you for a while." đłđđČđđ đđđ»đŒđ§đČđ„.đđđŠ
Gong Shiyanâs face darkened, just as he was about to speak, Gong Chen raised his hand to stop him.
Only then did Gong Shiyan sit down with Gong Chen.
The tea cup in Gong Yaoâs hand landed on the table neither lightly nor heavily.
"I donât think I need to introduce myself, I look forward to working with you in the future."
Gong Shiyan was taken aback and turned to stare at the old man in the main seat.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by âworking together in the futureâ?"
"Ah Yao is quite capable, heâs overqualified in the branch office, so I decided to transfer him back to the headquarters, so you brothers can look out for each other."
The old man spoke lightly, as if it was a very ordinary matter.
To Gong Shiyan, it sounded utterly ridiculous.
"Brothers? Ha."
"Do we need to set up another table for your illegitimate son for the New Year?"
"Have you had enough?"
Gong Shiyan was the most mild-tempered of the brothers, now so angry he disregarded any filial piety, slamming the table.
The sound echoed throughout the lounge.
Before the sound faded, the old manâs tea cup crashed to the ground, his face dark with displeasure.
"Who exactly hasnât had enough? Do you bastards think Iâm blind or heartless with what youâre doing behind my back?"
"Just a couple of women and youâre all dizzy, how will you accomplish great things?"
Gong Yao stood up to calm the old man, speaking, "Second brother, no matter what, you shouldnât say such things to upset Dad."
"Whoâs your second brother?" Gong Shiyan retorted.
Gong Yao was neither angry nor upset, he smiled and said, "Second brother is just like me, how can he not be my second brother?"
"..."
Gong Shiyan was left speechless by this retort.
Indeed, like Gong Yao, he too was born out of the old manâs affair.
What right did he have to speak against Gong Yao here?
However, Gong Yaoâs target was not Gong Shiyan, but Gong Chen who remained silent throughout.
He turned his ring, his dark eyes betraying no emotion.
It was as if everything was under his control.
This kind of person... really made people hate him.
No matter how excellent Gong Yao was, there was always someone overshadowing him.
Over the years, the phrase heâd heard most from the old man was.
"Although youâre good, your methods are still a bit lacking compared to Gong Chen."
This time he had come back to see just how formidable Gong Chenâs methods were.
A moment later, Gong Chen lifted his gaze towards Gong Yao.
Previously a bit arrogant, Gong Yao found his heart tighten under Gong Chenâs gaze, suddenly stunned.
He said, "Since the transfer has been decided, letâs go with that."
"Lao San!" Gong Shiyan said worriedly.
Gong Chen had no reaction, coldly looking at Gong Yao.
"Is there anything else? If not, go greet the guests; being part of the Gong Family isnât easy."
Gong Yao moved his lips but couldnât say anything.
By the time he came to, Gong Chen and Gong Shiyan were already gone.
The old man was quite angry, looking sternly at Gong Yao.
"Do your job well."
"Yes, Dad." Gong Yao nodded respectfully.
...
Gong Chen walked through the corridor and saw a slender figure pacing at the end.
The cold expression on his face slowly melted away.
He walked up and, taking advantage of no oneâs attention, directly pulled the woman to a spot out of the guestsâ sight.
Just as she was about to call out, Gong Chen unceremoniously kissed her.
As before, she raised her hand to resist, giving no face at all.
But she didnât know, her fists were like hitting cotton.
Wouldnât hurt the man, only drive him crazier.
He held her head, deepening the kiss.
Lin Zhiyi pushed him twice, finally clutching his suit collar tightly, eyes misty, looking even more enticing.
Only when she was almost out of breath did Gong Chen release her.
He caught his breath, hoarsely saying, "Waiting for me?"
