Chapter 509: She Doesn’t Need Permission to Come

Shu Pan rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

“Mommy, why don’t you call Daddy?” Joy didn’t want to surprise her dad anymore. That lady downstairs wouldn’t let them up anyway.

“You, little troublemaker…” Shu Pan pinched Joy’s nose affectionately.

With a sigh, Shu Pan took out her phone and dialed Gu Shaoting’s number.

If Xiaomeng were here, she would probably say Shu Pan was being overdramatic. With her current status, she could simply take Joy upstairs.

But that wasn’t Shu Pan’s style. She preferred to keep a low profile. She didn’t want to come to the company and become the center of attention, with everyone gossiping about her like she was some circus monkey.

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

As Shu Pan called Gu Shaoting, he was in the midst of giving the upper management a piece of his mind.

The executives were all feeling like they were being scolded like misbehaved children by Gu Shaoting.

Seething with anger, Gu Shaoting initially considered ignoring the phone call. But when he saw it was from Shu Pan, he took a quick glance. Could it be that Joy was sick again?

Seeing that it was almost time anyway, he waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.

The executives couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Who was this great savior who had rescued them?

As soon as the executives departed, Gu Shaoting quickly answered the call.

“What’s wrong, Honey?” Gu Shaoting asked anxiously, his tone completely different from when he was reprimanding the executives just moments ago.

“Are you available to come down to the lobby for a moment? Your precious daughter wants to see you,” Shu Pan didn’t mention the receptionist’s refusal. After all, they were just following company protocols, and she hadn’t informed them of her identity.

“What? You’re here at the company? Alright, don’t move, I’ll be right down,” Gu Shaoting hurriedly headed downstairs.

As the elevator doors opened, Gu Shaoting stepped out, his expression somewhat stern. He strode purposefully towards them.

“Daddy!” Joy immediately called out as soon as she saw her father.

“Little darling, are you all better now? Why didn’t you ask Daddy to arrange for a driver to pick you up?” Gu Shaoting felt all his fatigue melt away when he heard Joy’s voice.

The receptionist on the side was stunned to see this scene unfold before her eyes.

The little girl just now had called Gu Shaoting “Daddy.” When did their CEO get married and have such a big daughter. That woman must be Mr. Gu’s wife.

She hadn’t paid much attention before, but now, looking closely, she was indeed very beautiful. Slim figure, elegant posture…

“We decided to come out spontaneously. We didn’t disturb you, did we?” Shu Pan interjected timely when she saw the two getting cozy.

“No, it’s fine. Let’s go, upstairs.” Gu Shaoting held Joy with his left hand and Shu Pan’s hand with his right.

As they turned around, he said sternly to the receptionist, “Remember, she can come whenever she wants.”

The receptionist nodded vigorously, feeling both relieved and confused about who had just set her up in the secretary department.

Seeing Gu Shaoting and his family leave, the receptionist quickly spread the gossip to others through internal channels.

This incident was bound to shake the entire Gu Group.

“Feeling aggrieved?” Gu Shaoting asked with concern as they rode the elevator.

“No, not at all. You were busy, it wasn’t right for me to come to the company to find you. It blurs the lines between personal and professional matters,” Shu Pan genuinely felt it was no big deal.

“Don’t spoil Joy too much. Look at how she’s behaving now—willful and throwing tantrums…” Shu Pan took the opportunity to advise, hoping Gu Shaoting would understand her good intentions.

“I think Joy is just fine,” Gu Shaoting said with a smile.

The news of Shu Pan and Joy’s visit to Gu Group spread like wildfire within the corporation.
