Chapter 680: Restoring Authority
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Secretary Zhang felt that Mr. Gu might not be Shu Pan’s match even if he told him. After all, women were the best at maintaining aloofness to increase their allure and draw the other person closer. They could endure not contacting a man for a long time, but not men, especially someone like Mr. Gu, who was more concerned about losses and gains.
In fact, he felt that Mrs. Gu was an accommodating person. Usually, she wouldn’t make a fuss if the matter didn’t go against her principles. Mr. Gu had done something wrong this time without showing a willingness to apologize. No wonder Mrs. Gu was angry.
Secretary Zhang pondered for a while before he said slowly, “Mr. Gu, women actually need to be coaxed. Don’t take things seriously. Men should be more broad and open-minded. Just admit your mistake and coax her.”
“If that’s the case, will she become even more demanding moving forward? I need to assert myself. She didn’t take me seriously lately,” Gu Shaoting argued defiantly. “You didn’t see how impatient she was with me. She hung up on me just after saying a few words.”
Secretary Zhang gritted his teeth and added, “Perhaps it’s because of your attitude that she’s feeling disheartened. I guess she has some thoughts on her mind now, which you may not be aware of. Once a woman’s heart starts to harbor resentment toward a man, it’s very difficult to turn things around.”
“What are you talking about?” Gu Shaoting said with some irritation. “I’m not going to separate from Shu Pan.”
“But if you continue like this, there will be problems sooner or later,” said Secretary Zhang. “Look, you don’t even want to be separated from her. Since you know why she’s angry, you need to prescribe her the right medicine. Stop giving her a cold shoulder, and always speak coldly. If this drags on, it’ll hurt the relationship between you two. If you wear away the remaining feelings, you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and break up.”
Secretary Zhang deeply felt that he was a love expert. He had practically become Mr. Gu’s consultant.
“Is that so?” Gu Shaoting started to feel a little uneasy. “But it’s not a big problem in the first place, but she keeps harping on it. She’s the person I love, but she pays attention to irrelevant people and things.”
“Mr. Gu,” Secretary Zhang said patiently. “She was probably concerned about your attitude. You might think it irrelevant, but it’s her principles and the bottom line in her eyes. It’s best to put yourself in her shoes for issues like this. Matters related to the bottom line are really hard to compromise on.”
“But I’ve also taken the initiative to call her and apologize, but her attitude was still the same. I really have no idea what to do,” Gu Shaoting said aggrievedly.
“That’s why you have to work harder. Men have to be more patient when coaxing their wives. Lower your stance; you’re acting a bit too proud.” Secretary Zhang felt that Gu Shaoting’s emotional intelligence was still a bit lacking.
Gu Shaoting’s face turned red. Secretary Zhang was right. “Who are you talking about?”
“Mr. Gu, I’m at fault. I accidentally said it.” Secretary Zhang quickly covered his mouth. It’s inappropriate to talk about his boss being proud. He should have kept it to himself.
“Mr. Gu, what I mean is that if you don’t take a step back and continue to maintain the stalemate, Mrs. Gu is a woman, sensitive and thin-skinned, and it will be impossible for you two to reconcile for the rest of your lives.”
Gu Shaoting’s heart turned cold after hearing Secretary Zhang’s words.
He thought for a moment, deciding that he should go back tonight and have a good chat with Shu Pan. Otherwise, if she was really angry and ignored him, what should he do?
However, how could he find a way out? He had to think about this carefully.
It really proved that saying, “Staying passive, one can avoid harm.”
