Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: Her Threat in a Fit of Pique

A group of people were racing to see who could run the fastest, and in no time, the few people surrounding him scattered and disappeared.

Gu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the reception room.

Even the reception room at Li Group was lavishly decorated. Opening the door, he saw a woman standing by the bright and spacious reception room’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

The woman had a tall figure, dressed in a wine-red lily long dress. The skin exposed was cold, white, and delicate, making the simple design exude an unusual sense of high-class when worn by her.

Seeing the woman in the reception room, Gu Ming felt only disdain. He tightened his eyes and formally called out, “Miss Chu.”

Chu Xi turned her head.

Under the warm light, her beautiful features looked almost enchanting, a true beauty!

Her eyes brightened initially, but realizing Gu Ming was alone, she quickly withdrew her gaze and smiled faintly, “Assistant Gu, where is Mr. Li?”

“The president is in his office.”

Gu Ming paused for a moment, then turned around one hundred eighty degrees and added, “I’ve reported to the president that Miss Chu is waiting for him. However, Mr. Li is very busy and can’t make time to see Miss Chu today.”

Chu Xi’s smile froze on her face, seemingly not hearing clearly, “What?”

Gu Ming repeated, “I’m sorry, Miss Chu, Mr. Li said he does not have time; you probably won’t be able to see him today. Please leave!”

As if struck by a slap, Chu Xi’s ears buzzed; she stared fiercely at Gu Ming, suspecting that Gu Ming hadn’t told Li Shengxiao she was here. “You’re saying he won’t see me? Impossible. Did you clearly say that I was the one looking for him?”

Doubted by her, Gu Ming furrowed his brows, emphasizing unhappily, “I said it very clearly, Miss Chu! There’s nothing I can do if Mr. Li doesn’t have time.”

Tsk, how could this woman be so shameless!

Chu Xi bit her lip, her red lips glistening, “When will he be free? I’ll wait here until he’s done!”

…

Gu Ming’s face tensed, as he spoke indifferently, “Mr. Li’s schedule is full today; he might be occupied all day. Miss Chu waiting here won’t change that, and staying here makes it inconvenient for the staff.”

The implication was just short of directly asking her to leave.

Chu Xi, though pretending not to understand, became slightly pale with a blush of shame. She pursed her lips, staring unblinkingly at the man in front of her who appeared respectful but gave her no face, suddenly retorted, “Assistant Gu, do you know who really climbs the ladder of success?”

Gu Ming met her gaze, “Who?”

Chu Xi, “Smart people! Those who can clearly see the situation! Those who know when to stand on whose side! The situation is always changing, one should not only see the past and ignore the future. Otherwise, when the future comes, there won’t be a place for them to stand. Do you understand what I mean, Assistant Gu?”

Working alongside Li Shengxiao for a long time, Gu Ming’s principles were unconsciously influenced by Li Shengxiao, and he rarely argued with women.

Initially, he was only going to dismiss her, but now provoked, he lifted his eyelids and seriously said, “Does Miss Chu mean that Miss Rong represents the past, and you represent the future?”

Chu Xi without hesitation, “It depends on how Assistant Gu understands it!”

Her chest puffed and chin slightly raised, it was clear what she meant.

Gu Ming looked at her with a dismissive smile, “How come I don’t see Miss Chu as the future?”

Chu Xi’s gaze sharpened, somewhat frantic and frustrated!

What did he mean!

Looking down on her?
