Chapter 703: A Crisis For The Group

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The meeting went on for three hours. Various proposals were rejected and everyone in the meeting looked somber. The previous general manager misappropriated a large sum of money. If the cash flow was destroyed, the entire group would be in crisis.

When it was almost noon, Gu Shaoting asked his secretary, Mr. Zhang, to order lunch for everyone so they could settle their lunch in the conference room.

The meeting continued after everyone finished eating. It was not until around 5 p.m. that they finally reached a conclusion.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when Gu Shaoting adjourned the meeting. The long period of high-intensity concentration had exhausted them.

Everyone packed their things and left the conference room.

Gu Shaoting sat alone in the room. He held his cup and sipped his water slowly, his expression cold and unreadable.

This was probably one of the more serious crises he faced since he took over Gu Group, and it happened suddenly.

Gu Shaoting was deep in thought when his phone dinged. He snapped out of his daze and checked his phone. It was a message from Shu Pan. “Hubby, is everything okay?”

He finally revealed his first smile since he arrived in this foreign country. He didn’t reply to the text message but called Shu Pan back.

“Honey, why are you up so early?” Gu Shaoting said with a smile. “I’ve been too busy and I worry about calling you at the wrong time. I didn’t want to disturb you.”

“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep and felt a little nauseated. But I’m fine after getting up. Is work going well?” Shu Pan was more concerned about his work.

He used to call her several times a day during his past business trips.

“Don’t worry about my work. Just take care of yourself and the baby.” Gu Shaoting felt that he could handle his work and didn’t want her to worry.

As the man of the house, he should be the protector and the provider.

However, Shu Pan could already hear from his tired voice that something was wrong. It was probably a difficult-to-solve problem.

“We’re husband and wife. You can tell me. I’ll help share some of your burden.” Shu Pan said with heartache as emotions flashed across her pitch-black eyes.

Gu Shaoting chuckled lightly. “It’s not a big problem. Don’t you believe in your husband’s ability? It’s just a small problem with the cashflow here. It will be resolved soon.”

Shu Pan kept quiet when she heard that. She knew that he didn’t want her to worry. The man was probably under tremendous pressure.

After a while, she said slowly, “I read a book about fireflies. There was a small town that didn’t need lamps at night because every time night fell, fireflies would flock to the town from the mountains and fields from all directions. They would hang around in groups on eaves of buildings, flashing. From afar, they looked like lamps and illuminated the town. People refer to them as God’s eyes … You see, lamps aren’t the only things that can dispel darkness.”

Shu Pan’s soft voice sounded very soothing. Although it was just a short story, Gu Shaoting was very touched. Was she trying to comfort him?

“Mrs. Gu, don’t worry. I’m not that fragile.” Gu Shaoting’s lips curled into a smile but the knuckles on his hand that was holding the phone was a little pale.

“That’s good.” Shu Pan didn’t want to add to his worries. She believed that he was capable of handling the crisis.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Pan could not calm down for a long time. She was anxious, worried but hopeful that he would successfully get through this difficult time.
