Back Then, I Adored You

The door’s lock was broken?

Xiaowang, shocked for a few seconds, thought he hadn’t heard properly. Noticing that Gu Yusheng had lowered his voice, Xiaowang also wisely lowered his voice to a whisper. “Then Master Gu, how will you get back into your room later?”

Go back to my room? Are you kidding me? Why would I go back to the room in which the other woman has entered?

Not only will I not go back, but I won’t even touch what’s inside!

Gu Yusheng didn’t answer Xiaowang’s question, as if he’d been dedicated to his work while he continued staring intently at the computer screen, browsing through files.

Xiaowang was confused about what Gu Yusheng had intended to do, but he seemed to have been serious. Xiaowang sat there silently for a while before he was ready to get up and follow Gu Yusheng’s instructions. Unexpectedly, Gu Yusheng, who had still been seated at his computer, suddenly turned his head to look at Xiaowang. In a low voice, he said, “Also, have them cut off the electricity in that room.”

There were no entertainment facilities in the hotel, so the only thing people had to do was either watch TV or play on their cell phones.

If the power is cut off in the room, perhaps her cell phone will run out of battery. Maybe, if she is waiting for me in my room, she won’t notice that the door’s lock is broken for a little while.

By the time she notices something strange, there would be no way for her to contact Grandpa any further…

Gu Yusheng continued thinking as he looked back at his computer screen and typed. Once again, he turned his head toward Xiaowang and whispered, “Unplug the telephone line, too.”

Liang Doukou can’t get out of the room. The electricity has been cut off, and the landline in her room isn’t available. Tomorrow morning, I’ll call grandpa to tell him that I have something to deal with, so I need to leave beforehand with Liang Doukou, then I’ll arrange for a driver to take him home. By that time, Liang Doukou really won’t be able to do anything, and even gold won’t help her!

He seemed to have seen Liang Doukou jumping with rage, so he sneered as he sat upright and said to Xiaowang, “Hurry up.”

…

The meeting was Gu Yusheng’s own sudden plan, so the theme hadn’t even been decided. However, since he’d been striving for so long in dealing with business affairs, when everyone arrived, he quickly decided what to discuss. He said, “Let’s start,” then listened to the vice-managers and directors of the company reporting within their respective turns.

Several directors and department managers gave reports one after another, and each one of them talked for about ten minutes, so it took at least two hours in total.

Finally, the last one, the marketing manager, finished his report. Everyone in the meeting room thought that after Gu Yusheng gave a summary, he would conclude the meeting, but unexpectedly, he popped out a new question for everyone to discuss.

It’s already midnight. If we continue to discuss this question, then won’t it be past 3:00 a.m. once the meeting is over?

Everyone was tired and gloomy, but they dared not refute him, so they uplifted their spirits and accompanied Gu Yusheng in his meeting.

The vice-manager of the company, Master Zhang, aired his opinion first, followed by Master Li, and then the director of the technology department. Qin Zhi’ai, sitting beside Gu Yusheng, was responsible for recording the contents. At about 1:10 a.m., Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t resist yawning as her fingertips were quickly typing on the keyboard.

Gu Yusheng glanced at her, but his expression did not change much. However, after the director of the technology department expressed his opinions, the director of personnel department was ready to speak. Gu Yusheng, who had been silently listening to everyone, raised his wrist, took a quick look at the time, and suddenly interrupted. “It’s late. That’s all for today, and we’ll continue this topic another time.”
