Chapter 58 The Female Companion at the Dance

It was not until Gu Manman put her eyes on Gu Zichen that Gu Zichen opened his mouth and said, "Auntie Yin, you said that you heard the news from your father's company, didn't you?"

Getting the hint from Gu Zichen, Yin Yin'er quickly turned back to look at Gu Manman and said, "Yes, yes, I heard the news from my father's company."

Gu Manman looked at Gu Zichen and Yin Yin'er suspiciously.

Gu Zichen put the bowl and chopsticks in Gu Manman's hand again, and said, "Mommy, please eat quickly. Otherwise, Auntie Yin will finish all the delicious meat by herself."

Yin Yin'er, who held a bowl full of meat, stared at Gu Zichen and said, "You're talking nonsense! Am I that kind of person?"

As Yin Yin'er spoke, she had a mouthful of meat, which made her words seem to be rather dubious to the other two people.

Gu Manman rubbed Gu Zichen's head with a smile and said, "OK, after the competition, I seem to have nothing to do in the afternoon. Then I will leave work early and stay with my baby."

Gu Zichen threw his arms around Gu Manman with a big smile on his face. "Yeah! Mommy is so kind!"

Yin Yin'er pressed her lips together, then put down the bowl, and said, "Manman, I may not be able to stay with you. I have to go back and take care of my brother. He has not been in a good mood recently."

Gu Manman gently patted Yin Yin'er's hand and said, "I know. Go ahead. Thank you, Yin'er. Every time I need help, you are always the first to show up."

Yin Yin'er pinched Gu Manman's face and said, "Idiot, we're best friends!"

Gu Manman put Gu Zichen in Yin Yin'er's hand and said, "When you go back, could you please take Zichen back with you?"

Yin Yin'er made an "OK" sign and said, "Leave it to me!"

Gu Zichen followed Yin Yin'er and turned to look back repeatedly at every step. "Mommy, you promised me! You must come back as soon as possible!"

Gu Manman smiled and nodded. "Yes, honey, I will keep my promise."

After Yin Yin'er and Gu Zichen left, Gu Manman simply cleaned the table.

"Tap, tap, tap—" The sound of leather shoes striking the floor arose.

As soon as Gu Manman looked up, she saw Qin Zimo standing in front of her.

"Mr. Qin?"

Qin Zimo sat opposite Gu Manman with a big smile on his face.

Seeing that Qin Zimo had sat down, Gu Manman had to sit down as well.

"Mr. Qin, what is it you want to see me about?"

Qin Zimo nodded slightly, and said, "I am going to a friend's dance tonight, but I don't have a partner. So Gu Manman, can I ask you to be my female companion?"

Gu Manman paused for a while and refused Qin Zimo without hesitation.

"Mr. Qin, if you want to find a partner, I'm sure that many women would want to accompany you. Today, I have other things to do, so I can't go with you."

Looking at Gu Manman, who stood up quickly, Qin Zimo seemed to have not returned to his senses.

An Ni, who stood aside, stopped Gu Manman and said, "Please wait a moment. The president's words are not finished.

"I'm afraid you don't know that another reward of the competition is to be our president's female companion and accompany him to the dance."

While looking at the puzzled look on Gu Manman's face, An Ni explained.

Gu Manman paused and thought, "Why didn't I know there is such a reward?"

She felt a little embarrassed. "No wonder those women acted so positive and looked at me like they wanted to kill me after I won the competition."

"This is the reason!"

Gu Manman nodded to An Ni and Qin Zimo politely and said, "Sorry, Mr. Qin. I took part in this competition immediately after I entered the company. It seems that I was too careless to figure out what exactly the reward was. Sorry, I will not go to the dance."

She lowered her eyes and continued, "If possible, I want to give this opportunity to another designer."

Triple refusal!

This was the first time that Qin Zimo had been refused three times!

Qin Zimo still kept the gentle smile on his face as he asked, "Since you have refused me again and again, do you have something to do?"

Gu Manman nodded slightly. "Yes, I promised my son that I'd go home early."

...

In order to spend time with her son, she would give up the opportunity to be with the president and refuse to get close to the upper class.

Qin Zimo narrowed his eyes gradually. "This woman is not a vain and shrewd person like what Li Jinze said."

He rose slowly from his seat. "Gu Manman, if you're worried about your child, you can also take him to the dance. But you cannot refuse this reward. If you refuse, you will insult me. I hope you can understand."

After finishing, Qin Zimo turned around and left.

An Ni said seriously to Gu Manman, "Don't go too fast after work. We will send you back."

Qin Zimo and other people left without giving Gu Manman a chance to refuse.

Gu Manman opened her mouth helplessly.

It seemed that she had to coax her baby and stand him up this time.

Her hands gradually clenched into fists. "Everything I do is for work!"

When she returned to her workspace, the group leader came to greet her with a smile.

Holding Gu Manman's hands, she said with a smile, "Oh, Manman, you are back."

Looking at the clean desk, Gu Manman frowned with puzzlement.

"Where are my things?"

The leader patted Gu Manman's hand as if they were old friends.

But yesterday, this woman was still disgusted with her and had embarrassed her in public.

"Now you are a designer of the Qin Group! Your things have been moved to the sixth floor. Forget this small workspace! You have a big office with only a few designers now! It is very comfortable!"

Gu Manman slowly took her hand out of the leader's hand. "Oh, I see. Thank you, group leader."

While the leader faced Gu Manman's indifferent attitude, her face didn't show even a trace of embarrassment.

"I am really happy that you still call me group leader. I heard that you will participate in the dance with our president tonight. At that time, I hope you can speak well of me to the president..."

She could not help getting close to Gu Manman. "You don't know how long I have been in this position. I think it's time for me to get promoted..."

Gu Manman stepped back with a cold expression on her face and said, "Group leader, I can't control job transfers. I think the president knows better than anyone who deserves a promotion."

Behind them, Liu Min clenched her fists while thinking, "Although I got second place, Gu Manman's first place should be mine!

"The certificate should be mine! And the opportunity to go to the dance should be mine as well!"
