Chapter 713: Chapter 713

One could only say that with such a patron around, any steed would be willing to give their all for this patron because they are valued.

For employees, their greatest fear is having a boss who is blind to their strengths and potential. Without seeing these qualities, how can the lower-level staff be motivated to strive for their boss?

Only an excellent manager, a person with the true eyes of a patron, can become a king.

Yao Jie admitted, "When she called me over initially, I didn’t think much of it, but now, I can’t find a reason not to support her."

Fang Yongxing just chuckled, "You’ve just realized this now? The first time I saw her, I felt somewhat the same. Of course, she’s moved up more than just one step since she first entered the company and stood bewildered in the cafeteria, being troubled by others."

"How so?" Recalling that incident, Yao Jie was excited too. Indeed, within just a few months, it seemed that Gu Nuan had transformed completely.

"Face," Fang Yongxing stated in two words.

Yao Jie blinked, and a moment of silence ensued.

Speaking of face, it goes far beyond just a problem for newcomers. Humans, no matter their age or status, cannot avoid the torment of these two words.

Moreover, it’s a well-known fact worldwide that Chinese people care deeply about face, as it has even been featured on the Spring Festival Gala.

Gu Nuan was informed that her father-in-law was coming.

It was Mrs. Zhao who told her.

Seeing that her assistance to the Zhao family had just opened a corner of the coffee market and she was bustling with enthusiasm, Mrs. Zhao called her over, saying that she could begin handing the work gradually over to her son, Zhao Zirong.

Gu Nuan thought about it and indeed realized it was time to hand back the power after refusing a CEO position at another company and having helped as much as she could.

Speaking of which, although it was said that they wanted to hire her as the CEO, none of the Zhao family had seriously discussed this topic with her.

Just then, Mrs. Zhao privately revealed the truth: "I want to ask you. Both my husband and my son agree, but Yebai flatly refused."

Big white little friend would never let someone else snatch his most capable and competent wife.

Hmph. He married his wife for himself; could others cling to her?

If any more clinging happens, there’s no need even to be relatives anymore.

Gu Nuan could guess the child’s thoughts without even thinking; a slight curve appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a dimple emerged, like a hidden rose bud blooming.

Observing her expression, Mrs. Zhao reflected, "You and I are alike, seldom smiling." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Gu Nuan immediately moderated her smile and bowed her head, saying, "My apologies."

"It’s nothing. Your husband’s elder sister is my daughter-in-law. After all, we’re family," Mrs. Zhao said gently.

Gu Nuan did not respond. Her husband’s relatives could only be said to be his; whether they were hers or not was debatable.

To be relatives, the most important thing should be to keep personal and professional life distinct, rather than acting like Mrs. Qiu, who always used family relationships in everything, turning good relatives into bad ones.

Naturally, the term relative has become the least trustworthy word.

Mrs. Zhao was a wise person and obviously knew this, continuing, "Mainly, Yebai is a child whom both my husband and I have always greatly adored."

Gu Nuan had noticed this a long time ago and nodded, "Yebai also says he is very thankful for your deep affection for him."

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "It’s not about deep affection."
