Chapter 521 - 522: It is Indeed an Important Matter
"Hmm?" Di Mingjue raised an eyebrow.
Gu Qibao, full of energy, shared a round of gossips with Di Mingjue, telling him everything about Di Xiaxia and Di Mingzhe.
Di Mingjue furrowed his eyebrows, but soon, they relaxed and he breathed out two words, "Finally."
Gu Qibao waited for his conclusion for a while, but it never came. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at him, "Is that all?"
"How many more words do you want?" Di Mingjue glanced at her sideways.
Thump.
Gu Qibao was almost in tears. She thought he would present a profound summary, but it ended with just two words!
The brothers shared some common traits, all three of them being a man of few words.
Meanwhile,
Di Mingzhe had been engrossed in work at the Golden Palace, not having a moment to pause and think.
He wasn’t sure why, but he didn’t want to stop.
He just wanted to finish all that was at hand. There was so much to deal with that he had been working non-stop from morning to afternoon.
"Mr. Mingzhe," Gu Mian served him a cup of hot coffee and couldn’t help but ask, "You didn’t eat lunch today. Aren’t you hungry?"
Yes, he had skipped lunch since he wanted to manage his time better.
"It’s alright," Di Mingzhe said without looking up, "You can leave first."
Gu Mian didn’t say anything.
"Oh, right," Di Mingzhe suddenly lifted his head. He had a dull, tired look in his eyes. While reviewing the files, he told her, "Take a look at the President’s schedule and arrange ten minutes for me. I need to see him."
"Alright," Gu Mian nodded, turning around to leave.
She returned shortly, reporting back, "The President is having his afternoon tea. He doesn’t have any guests today. You can talk to him while you both have tea."
"No need for that," Di Mingzhe refused, "Just arrange a time for me right after his tea."
"Yes," Gu Mian responded, but couldn’t help asking, "Is there something urgent today? You’re always busy and it’s impossible to finish everything at once."
After hearing Gu Mian’s question, Di Mingzhe paused from his paperwork. He took a few seconds to think, then nodded, "Ah, it is an important matter."
Gu Mian blinked, a bit puzzled. Did he just smile? What could be so important?
Gu Mian couldn’t suppress her curiosity and asked, "Are you going on a blind date?"
Di Mingzhe slightly furrowed his brows, continuing to mark the documents in front of him, "Much more important than that."
Gu Mian pouted. She wanted to ask more, but seeing that he seemed to be really pressed on time, she refrained from disturbing him. She went back to her desk quietly and returned to her work.
When the scheduled time approached, Di Mingzhe finally managed to free himself from all the work. He got up and headed directly to the President’s office.
"Mingzhe is here," the President greeted Di Mingzhe with a warm smile, "Have a seat."
Di Mingzhe nodded and sat down.
The President looked at him warmly and said, "Why didn’t you come for tea? Are you very busy today? I heard you even missed lunch."
"Yes," Di Mingzhe answered, "I’ve been busy with national engineering tasks today, verifying some major funding projects."
