Gongs.h.i.+ Group.
A cowering head retracts from the doorway and exclaims, “Here comes the director!”
Si Wan, wearing an haute couture gown decorated with fas.h.i.+onable small floral on the hemline, is smiling with grace, which makes her both elegant and beautiful.
At the moment she enters the company, Si Wan immediately senses the tense atmosphere. She starts to look around, and finds that everybody in the company looks mocking, as if she were something ridiculous and they were waiting for some fun.
“Director.” Si Wan’s secretary Xiaoyu comes to her, hoping to say something, but hesitates because of Si Wan’s mild irritation, “Director… Boss Gong is here, in your office.”
Hardly does Xiaoyu’s voice fade away, somebody in the crowd utters a snorting laugh, “With Boss Gong’s gracious presence, we are going to see some fun.”
Si Wan is married to the most powerful man in imperial capital: the eminent CEO of Gongs.h.i.+ Group.
The Gong Family is like a royal family in imperial capital, and is admired and respected by thousands of people. Si Wan’s husband is Gong Siming, whose grandfather is a war hero; his father, the mayor of imperial capital; and mother, the chairman of board of Gongs.h.i.+ Group. What’s more, Gong Siming himself, who seizes the position of CEO successfully by using some resolute commercial means, is the young master of the family. Gongs.h.i.+ Group does business in a wide range of fields, which determines its decisive role in commercial circles. And Gong Siming, with a seductive face like a demon, certainly is the ideal husband and lover of all the women in imperial capital.
However, Si Wan has never become supreme in the company because of her marriage.
This is because Gong Siming hates his wife Si Wan deeply, which is a secret known by everyone.
“I see.” Hearing people murmuring, Si Wan removes her eyesight from the crowd and adjusts her state as usual, but her smile vanishes gradually, “Please all go to work if there is nothing important.”
Xiaoyu follows Si Wan carefully and reminds her in a low voice: “Director…Han Jingjing is also inside.”
Si Wan becomes absent-minded for a moment and her emotion is so slight as to be perceived. Her face is expressionless, "Well."
Rubbing her lips, Xiaoyu looks down to hide the pity in her eyes, and then she wisely withdraws.
Si Wan freezes for a moment, after which she takes a deep breath and walks calmly to the office, with her hand reaching the door handle, she pauses slightly…and finally she opens a crack between a door and its frame.
"Ah... Boss Gong... Don't... "Before entering the office, Si Wan hears a woman’s soft calling of “Boss Gong” and the man's evil and wild voice, mixed with ambiguous pant, rising and falling, "Louder, eh?"
Si Wan’s little hands are completely rigid on the doork.n.o.b, with blue veins on the back of her white and slender hands bursting out, jumping ferociously beneath the surface of skin, and her mind is also turbulent like sea: the so-called “Boss Gong” is her husband who has been married to her for one year, but who never touched even one of her fingers, and now he is making love with another woman in her office in such an open and bold way without knowing what shame is.
