Chapter 404 - He could sneak out on dates by making up excuses as of late. (1)

With her paintbrush in hand, Gu Shishi adjusted the color a little. “We won’t be seeing the outcome right away. Let’s just see how our first batch does. I don’t know much so we will have to count on you, Plant Manager Liu.”

Liu Zhichao was very flattered by her words. “That is my job! I will give it my best with my colleagues in the sales department.”

Talented, have the formulas, and his boss was so humble.

But Gu Shishi wasn’t being humble when she said that she didn’t know much.

And that was exactly why she didn’t want to meddle and muck things up.

“Sure, we will talk more if there are any other issues~”

Liu Zhichao acknowledged that right away.

Once she had hung up on the phone, Gu Shishi felt pressure.

Originally, she had viewed this skincare product as an accessory. If it made money, great; if not, not a big deal either.

She felt no pressure.

But now, she had second thoughts about it.

This was a gift to her from the boss.

He spent thirty million on this company… she wouldn’t lost any health if the company was to lose money, but money was still money!

What if … they ended up losing money on Double-12?

What if they couldn’t even make back the cost?

Would she be dragging the boss down?

Gu Shishi got nervous all of a sudden.

She quickly pulled up the few paintings that have already been approved and looked them over once again.

She pondered over it before dinner.

And finally ran over to the study stealthily.

Standing on her tippy toe, she cautiously peeked inside through the crack of the door.

Huo Sishen had just finished a document, set it aside, and was about to start on the next one when he noticed someone by the door.

“Who is it?”

Ever since the wedding, he would leave the door to the study only partially closed instead of closing it all the way.

So that a certain someone could sneak in there from time to time.

The certain someone, however, didn’t go over very often.

“… … it’s me.”

She didn’t think he would have noticed her so soon.

Gu Shishi bit her lip and stuck her head out with a fawning and silly smile awkwardly.

Quickly, she brought out a silver plate from behind her.

“Are you hungry? Would you like some cookies?”

It was obviously her favorite.

Huo Sishen didn’t let it show but he wanted to chuckle.

“No, I am not hungry.”

Gu Shishi, “… …!”

Now she didn’t know how to carry on.

Huo Sishen only found that funnier. He kept his thin lips pressured together without saying a word.

Gu Shishi’s Plan A had failed.

She thought about it a little and decided to shamelessly carry on.

“Are you very busy right now?”

Huo Sishen lifted his brows.

He didn’t need to say anything. Gu Shishi saw the stack of documents on his desk next to his laptop.

She couldn't help but stuck her tongue out. “I’ll come back later.”

Huo Sishen’s lips curved upward some as he pushed the documents further away from him.

“I am not busy right now.”

Gu Shishi’s eyes beamed right away. She happily handed a cookie over to him.

When one accepts food or favors from another, they would owe them a favor.

“I just have a little request.”

Gu Shishi put the plate down and gestured it with her pinky.

“Chuchu told me that she had been getting business management lessons from that Executive Assistant of yours.”

Huo Sishen looked up and reluctantly took over the cookie that he found was too sweet.

“I want to go and join her.”

Gu Shishi let out a sigh of relief when she saw him accepting her food.

She looked at him eagerly.

“I don’t cause any trouble, I promise.”

His wife taking lessons from his underling?

Huo Sishen’s eyes narrowed.

“His surname is Meng. Somewhat good looking and resembles a super model, that one.”

Gu Shishi thought he might have forgotten so she elaborated.

“Chuchu said he is very patience and detailed. And he’d also answer all of her questions.”

Good looking?

Super model?

Huo Sishen’s lips twitched.

He had no idea that his Executive Assistant had received this kind of remarks.

Should he transfer him to the sale department in a branch office?
