“Mimi, you’re being unfair. If your mother didn’t trust me, how could she feel at ease leaving you with me? I am exactly the kind of person your mother knows best. Honestly, I don’t want you to be an assassin. We both know you’re not cut out for this, but back then, you accidentally stumbled into the organization, and under those circumstances, I had no choice but to let you join, otherwise I was afraid others would kill you to silence you. So, you must understand that making you an assassin was just to save your life. I never expected you to excel.”
Gu Datong spoke with deep concern, truly trying to protect her life.
“But, boss, if you don’t give me a chance to prove myself, the people in the organization will look down on me for the rest of my life,” Mimi could no longer bear others’ looks.
“They always think I’ll amount to nothing. The more they think that, the more I want to prove them wrong! So please, boss! Give me another task. I promise I’ll do an excellent job this time and show you, please… I beg you… boss, give me one more chance, okay?”
Gu Datong was moved by her, unable to help but show an expression of admiration, “You really have a high ambition despite your young age! Since you are so ambitious, I have no reason not to fulfill your wish. I will give you a chance to prove yourself, but absolutely not now. You know your own weight better than I do, right?”
“Hmm…” She lowered her long eyelashes with a look of shame.
“So…” His experienced eyes flashed with wise and clever light, “How should I put it? I am already old and have been thinking about retirement, but my beloved son doesn’t think so. He believes I am still vigorous and can continue to manage the business at hand, completely disregarding my feelings. So I plan to find a way to keep my son in Taiwan and not let him return to England for now. Heaven knows, no one can be a CEO as leisurely and happily as he is.”
“Boss, what are you trying to say?”
