Chapter 1053: She Was Truly Of High Status
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
They could not believe that Mr. President had actually come.
They thought of the fact that they had never seen Mr. President their entire lives.
Although they all knew what he looked like, they had only ever seen his affable disposition on television. They had not seen Mr. President in real life.
While their boss was the First Lady, Mr. President had never come to the company.
They had also never thought that Gu Jingming would go to the company one day. After all, Mr. President was not an ordinary person. Of course, he could not enact some scene where he went to the company to pick his wife up. Whenever the President went out, there was always much cause for delay. There was always a crowd of people following him and security had to be arranged in advance. It was impossible that he would go to the company for no reason.
Thus, everyone was very excited since Mr. President had come to their annual gathering this time.
Lin Che looked up at Yu Minmin and beamed. “Good gracious! He chased you all the way here.”
Yu Minmin’s face turned even redder, but she could not help the hint of radiance on her face either.
She mumbled, “He didn’t rush here because something happened, right?”
Lin Che said, “If something cropped up, he would have told you to return a long time ago. There’s no way he would suddenly rush here. Quick, go on. What if he comes over here in a while? No one is properly dressed. How can they meet Mr. President?”
Hearing Lin Che say this, it occurred to the employees that they were going to meet Mr. President. Shouldn’t they quickly go and get dressed?
Everyone rushed off like a swarm of bees. With support from the people around her, Lin Che also stood up and went back to get her clothes.
Meanwhile, Gu Jingming had already arrived. Yu Minmin went out to welcome him and saw that he had brought very few people with him. She quickly walked towards him and asked, “Why are you here?”
Gu Jingming reached her within a few steps. He looked down and glanced at her belly before winding his arm around hers and saying, “My wife’s company is having an annual gathering. As a husband, shouldn’t I come over and take a look?”
Yu Minmin looked up. “Really?”
Gu Jingming looked at her sparkling eyes. “Furthermore, I was worried that you were going to stay here alone.”
He looked down and embraced her, his sparkling eyes looking deeply into hers.
Yu Minmin’s expression softened.
She had never thought that there would ever be a man in this world who would treat her this way.
In reality, putting aside her antepartum depression, everything else was going very well for her.
Her husband was not like other husbands who ignored their wives during their pregnancy and no longer had tender sentiments towards their wives when they saw their bodies balloon. Instead, he treated her more and more tenderly. Every day, he would sleep on the same bed as her and hug her. No matter how heavy her body was, he would always let her fall asleep using his arm as her pillow.
No one could have imagined that Gu Jingming was such a person in private.
Perhaps he was domineering, but he was very thoughtful of her and was very sincere towards her too.
Deep in her heart, Yu Minmin still felt very blessed.
She had never known that she could be so precious to a man.
Perhaps she had suffered so much in the past so that she could meet him one day. Then, all the pain she had been through was compensated for at that moment.
Gu Jingming was still looking down while treating her with tender affection. But just then, he saw the employees come out from behind her to greet him after quickly dressing up properly.
Everyone’s faces were filled with envy when they saw the two of them locked in an embrace.
“My goodness. Even though I always see the President and his wife making public displays of affection on television, it does indeed feel different when they do it right in front of us.”
“How is this a display? A display is a pretense. Look at how gentle Mr. President is. It’s definitely not an act.”
Just then, Gu Jingming saw someone pat Yu Minmin from behind.
The moment Yu Minmin turned around to see everyone looking at them from afar, her face turned red immediately and she quickly released Gu Jingming from her hold.
Many of these employees who had been with her for many years had only seen her carry out her tasks with a strict, no-nonsense approach. Of course, they had never seen a scene like this.
Now that everyone had happened to see this, of course, Yu Minmin felt even more embarrassed.
There was a sense that another aspect of her privacy had been exposed.
On the other hand, Gu Jingming took it completely in stride. While rubbing her back, he looked at everyone and smiled at them. He seemed just as amiable as he did on television, but at the same time he had a different air than he did on television.
It was only when they actually saw Gu Jingming in person that everyone felt, Gu Jingming’s manner was truly more imposing in real life than on television.
It was probably because the television screen was too small and could not display the tall and domineering President in all his glory.
His aura was cold, to begin with. Just looking at his figure alone, it had an air of superiority to it. The imposing manner of a king displayed vividly by him, but he did not have the arrogance of a king. Instead, he had an affable aura that showed on his face.
Although there weren’t many people following him right now, this could not dampen his tremendous grandeur at all.
It was everyone’s first time seeing Gu Jingming in person. For a moment, they were truly stunned by his aura.
“As expected of the President.”
“Mr. President really makes people feel stifled.”
“Good lord. I actually saw Mr. President in the flesh.”
Everyone was chattering amongst themselves softly. However, they did not dare to speak once Gu Jingming actually came near.
Gu Jingming greeted everyone and said, “Hello everyone. All of you have worked hard for the past year. I just came to join in the fun. You can ignore me.”
Just then, Lin Che approached them from behind.
When Gu Jingming saw Lin Che, he smiled and said, “Oh, Lin Che is here too.”
Lin Che quickly walked towards him and said, “Hello, Mr. President. Everyone is truly overwhelmed by your favor in coming to attend the company’s annual gathering.”
“I just came to take a casual look. All of you shouldn’t hold yourselves back.”
Lin Che smiled widely. She felt many eyes still fixed on them from behind. She herself stood aside for a moment and also obediently kept quiet. After all, she was not particularly familiar with the President and he was such a serious person at that. He was not like other relatives and friends of Gu Jingze with whom she could casually joke around.
But the other employees of the company were already very shocked when they saw Lin Che casually walk over and greet Gu Jingming.
Their impression of Lin Che was constantly changing too. Earlier, when Lin Che had made her appearance, they felt that her personality was so pleasant and she was neither servile nor overbearing regardless of who she met. She never had any intention of currying favor with people. Furthermore, she would absolutely not make herself appear lowly and naturally did not look down on anyone else either.
But as she stood beside the President right now, she nevertheless felt no fear at all. She still spoke to the President in such a casual manner and the way she behaved really made them admire her.
“Sister Che is really amazing. She’s not at all afraid in front of Mr. President.”
“What’s more, she doesn’t appear inferior at all.”
“I wouldn’t dare even if I was beaten to death. But Mr. President also treats Sister Che so casually. He even knows Sister Che. Sister Che is really terrific. Everyone knows her.”
Lin Che found it strange when she noticed that everyone was looking at her differently.
She asked, “What’s the matter? Why is everyone looking at me like this?”
Yu Minmin broke into a smile. “Fool. Everyone is very surprised that you’re even close to the President.”
“…”
They had known each other since long ago. Of course, they were close.
Yu Minmin said, “After all, all of them don’t know that with your status, you’ve been at the top and looking down on everything since a long time ago.”
