Chapter 113: Overtime

Gu Tingchen's grandfather turned his head to look out the window: "No, I will still live in my own home, which is more comfortable." ”

Gu Tingchen said: "Since grandpa said so, then we won't be reluctant." However, if there's anything you need, be sure to contact us, okay? After a pause, he added, "The eldest brother and the second sister will soon return to China, they were abroad to deal with the matter at hand, they told me yesterday that they booked a ticket for next Monday." ”

Gu Tingchen's grandfather nodded: "That's good." When they came back, they came with them to the place where their grandfather lived. After a pause, he added, "Your dad is old, and he's a real bastard." ”

Gu Tingchen hit the steering wheel at this time, and the car drove into a more spacious road: "Forget it, don't talk about him." ”

After sending his grandfather back to his residence, Gu Tingchen quickly drove back to his residence.

Gu Tingchen's bedroom.

Su Yuebai came out of the shower room after taking a bath and saw Gu Tingchen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out of the window.

She walked over and hugged him from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder: "What are you thinking?" ”

Gu Tingchen stretched out his hand, pulled her hand over, and wrapped it around his waist: "I'm just thinking about my father." ”

"What exactly?" Su Yuebai asked softly.

"Ms. Yang Yue gave birth to two children. I have looked at Gu Ming's ID card information, and he is only a few years younger than me. In other words, he was with Yang Yue not long after he married my mother. Gu Tingchen's low and slightly tired voice came into his ears.

"Hmm." Su Yuebai knew that he had something to say next, so he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

"My mother's family is not bad, and she was a good match with my father back then. The two were brought together by the parents of both sides. In the first place, I did not envision my father's position. Was he depressed with my mother? He has been living according to his grandfather's wishes, isn't he very unhappy? ”

Gu Tingchen chattered, changing his usual image of being cold and talking.

"If my dad suddenly has a second room and wants to divorce my mom, then I will definitely be very excited. I will also feel that he is sorry for my mother and this family. It's human nature, and you don't have to blame yourself. Su Yuebaihuan's hand around his waist tightened a little, hugging him tighter.

"I was thinking that if I hadn't had the impulse to break up with him at that time, maybe things wouldn't have gotten so stiff. Grandpa wouldn't know about it either, causing him to pass out and be hospitalized. Gu Tingchen sighed, "I was too inconsiderate at the time. ”

Su Yuebai shook his head and comforted him softly, "It's not your fault. ”

Gu Tingchen held her hand and raised his eyes to look at the night outside the window: "Now my father said that he wants to live with Ms. Yang Yue and her two children. Shouldn't I stop him anymore? As his son, I should let him live happily. ”

The light in the room is a soft goose yellow, not very bright. The neon lights outside the window came in and fell on Gu Tingchen's face, making his expression look a little melancholy.

Su Yuebai had never seen him with such an expression. No matter what happened before, he was resolute and strong-willed.

It's just that no matter how hard-hearted a person is, when he encounters this kind of thing, he will become entangled and melancholy.

Because I was close to him, I was fortunate enough to feel his vulnerability.

Su Yuebai said at this time: "This is not fair to your mother. Can the pursuit of self-happiness be based on hurting others? Not to mention, your father hid from your mother back then and was with Ms. Yang Yue. ”

Gu Tingchen pondered for a while before he whispered again: "Then does this mean that he is very unhappy with my mother?" ”

Su Yuebai pursed her lips, and then said, "Okay, it's time for you to take a bath and sleep." There's a lot more to do in the company, isn't it? Besides, you have just been discharged from the hospital and your body has not fully recovered, so if you are too worried, it will not be good for your body. After a pause, she added, "I've already helped you get your pajamas and put them in the bathroom." ”

Gu Tingchen hummed, then kissed Su Yuebai's forehead, and walked to the bathing room.

The next morning, as soon as Su Yuebai arrived at the office, the assistant pushed the door and walked in.

She sat down in her office chair, reached out to turn on the computer, then looked up and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Mr. Zhang said that he wanted to see you and talk to you about work. He is now waiting for you in the conference room. The assistant stood at his desk and said in a professional tone.

Su Yuebai was a little surprised-what was the important thing that made Mr. Zhang come to the company to find him so early?

She replied to her assistant, "Okay, I'll go over now." ”

Su Yuebai soon arrived in the conference room. ok essay network

As soon as she entered the conference room, Su Yuebai saw Mr. Zhang, who was wearing a white shirt, sitting in the first position on the right side of the conference table.

She walked over: "Mr. Zhang, good morning." Is there something important? For example, do you think something has gone wrong with my recent job? ”

Mr. Zhang smiled at Su Yuebai: "No, Mrs. Gu, please don't worry, your work has been done very well." You may be seated first. ”

Su Yuebai sat down next to him: "Mr. Zhang has something to say, just say it directly." ”

Mr. Zhang folded his hands and his expression became serious: "Recently, the domestic sales of our magazine have been declining month by month. ”

Su Yuebai was stunned for a moment, and then replied to him: "Yes." It's not because the company's employees are tired of their work, but because the staff has been transferred to explore foreign markets, and the sales of our magazines abroad are increasing month by month. The increase rate is about 10 percent, which is the fastest rise among domestic entertainment magazines. ”

In the past few months, Su Yuebai has led the team to concentrate on developing foreign markets, and she can't let the leadership ignore the efforts of everyone in the magazine.

A smile appeared on Mr. Zhang's face: "Mrs. Gu, I'm not here to blame you. Of course, I know that your magazine has been very successful in developing foreign markets. I just want to tell you that our management thinks that there is no need for our magazine to do the domestic market now, and we should focus all our energy on developing foreign markets. ”

Su Yuebai raised her eyebrows: "There's no need to do the domestic market?" Why? Although most of the staff of the magazine have been transferred to explore foreign markets, our magazine still has a place in China. After a pause, she added, "Mr. Zhang just calls me Yuebai." ”

Since marrying Gu Tingchen, the people in the management have been calling her Mrs. Gu, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable. I always feel that they give themselves a little thin face, all because of the identity of Mrs. Gu.

Mr. Zhang put his finger on his temple: "Well, Yuebai, maybe I didn't express it clearly." I mean, don't do the domestic market for the time being, but focus on opening up foreign markets. If the two markets are taken into account, then the magazine will definitely have to recruit talent, and our budget for this quarter is not so much. ”

Su Yuebai nodded: "I understand what Mr. Zhang means now." So, does the management have any advice on expanding into foreign markets? ”

Mr. Zhang muttered: "We have talked to several outstanding foreign media leaders, and they are also willing to cooperate. With that, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Actually, they'll be coming and talking to you today." It would be nice if you could tell them about the basic situation of our magazine. They just want to know the editor-in-chief of our magazine to see if they can work with us smoothly. ”

Su Yuebai thought in his heart at this time, so Mr. Zhang came over today, and he just wanted to tell himself this?

She had a gut feeling that Mr. Zhang had something to say next.

Sure enough, Mr. Zhang added: "Once the partnership is confirmed, the workload of the magazine will be much larger than before, and everyone will need to work overtime." Because of the company's recent financial deficit, the compensation for overtime will not be too much. I hope that Editor-in-Chief Su and his subordinates will do a good job in this regard. ”

Su Yuebai said secretly in his heart, it turned out that this was the real purpose of his coming to talk to him.

At that moment, she looked at Mr. Zhang, and her voice was steady: "Of course there is no problem." I will communicate well with my subordinates. Which leaders of foreign media will come? Tell me about them, and I'll be prepared. ”

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Tingchen came out of the company office and dialed Su Yuebai's phone.

Su Yuebai picked up the phone after a while: "Tingchen, I'm working overtime." If the two children are still in kindergarten, can you pick them up? ”

Gu Tingchen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, you go home early." ”

After that, Gu Tingchen hung up the phone and went straight home. On this day, Su Yuebai worked overtime in the magazine until more than twelve o'clock in the evening before returning home. When she returned home, Gu Tingchen had already laid down on the bed and was ready to sleep.

Gu Tingchen thought that Su Yuebai was just working for such a day, but he didn't expect that in the next few days, Su Yuebai would work overtime every day, and sometimes he wouldn't return all night.

It was the weekend, and Gu Tingchen woke up very early. Su Yuebai didn't come back yesterday, and according to her, she was rushing for a project that had to be completed by today.

When he woke up, he went to the living room to make coffee. As soon as he poured his coffee into the porcelain cup, he heard the sound of the key turning.

The door of the living room was pushed open, and Su Yuebai, who was slightly tired, entered the room: "Tingchen, got up so early?" ”

Gu Tingchen turned his head and looked at her with some distress: "Is the work done?" ”

Su Yuebai walked up to him, hugged him, and leaned on him: "Yes." I'm really tired. ”

Gu Tingchen lowered his head, grabbed her waist with one hand, and stroked her forehead with the other: "Are you okay?" Worked all night last night? Let's take a shower and rest. ”

Su Yuebai raised her head and said to him with a little sleepiness: "I'm fine, I'll go take a bath first." ”

After she finished speaking, she left Gu Tingchen's arms and walked to the back room.

As soon as Su Yuebai left, Gu Tingchen heard the entertainment reporter on the TV say: "Feltun, a foreign media, is cooperating with Frontline Magazine a few days ago. It is said that Felton's chief male designer likes Su Yuebai, the editor-in-chief of Frontline Magazine, very much. ”
