Tang Yuyang secretly glared at her and told her to shut up, and pulled her into the car.

Gu Cun was next to him, he must have heard it, his facial expression was not unusual, after the others left, he took Jiang Li's hand and looked at her side face, the mark that was beaten by Xu Hao before seemed to be gone, "This ice compress is quite effective?"

"How can it be so fast, I deliberately covered it up with makeup. Jiang Li touched her cheeks, the feeling of swelling and pain was still there, but it was much better after the ice, so she did it deliberately so as not to worry them, but ...... She was thinking about something else.

Frightened today, Gu Cun offered to accompany her, still sitting on the edge of the bed holding her hand, and asked her about Qin Lang's story, Jiang Li talked about graduation from college, followed by the wedding stage, and couldn't help but look at Gu Cun's expression, he seemed to enjoy listening to it.

"You'd love to hear what I told about the past?"

"No, I'm just curious, why don't you continue?"

Jiang Li found that she felt that there were endless stories when she recalled all the time she had with Qin Lang, but when it was time to really tell it, there weren't many.

"It feels like you're listening to me, why don't you say it?" Jiang Li asked him rhetorically.

Gu Cun smiled slightly, "Wait until you want to hear me." ”

This sentence seemed to tell her that if you want to hear it now, I can also tell you, but Jiang Li didn't want to hear it that much, but there was a doubt in her heart.

Who is the sister-in-law in Tang Yuyao's mouth, she guesses that it should be Gu Cun's ex-girlfriend, since the friends around her have seen it, it means that their relationship is very good, why did they break up?

She didn't ask these questions, but said that I was sleepy and closed my eyes and went to sleep.

This night she dreamed of Qin Lang, not as intense as before, the two stood face to face, Qin Lang looked at her with a smile and said, "Ah Li, congratulations, I found someone who can protect you, I am happy for you." ”

"No, Qin Lang, you know that all I want is to be with you......" Jiang Li said and walked over to hug him, but Qin Lang took a step back with every step, and there was always no way to get close to him.

"Ah Li, you want to be happy......"

"Qin Lang, I beg you not to hide from me, okay?Even if it's to hug me......" Jiang Li in the dream was already crying silently, leaving a line of tears in the corners of her eyes in her sleep.

Gu Cun, who was about to leave, saw it, gently wiped away his tears, covered the quilt and left.

I went back to my room and called Li Yuan and told me about tomorrow's itinerary.

The next day, Jiang Li's face was completely good, but her complexion looked a little bad, so she rarely put on light makeup to cover it up, and arrived at the company on time at nine o'clock, and met Ina as soon as she entered the office area.

Ina was startled when she came over without anything, "Jiang ...... Jiang Li?"

"Morning. ”

"Morning ...... Are you, are you alright?" Ina asked in a confirmed tone, looking Jiang Li up and down as if nothing had happened.

"Of course I'm fine. Jiang Li returned to her seat and went to work.

Ina was even more puzzled, didn't she already say hello yesterday? Why did she do well today? Didn't she succeed?

Thinking of this, he quietly went to the bathroom, and when he saw that there was no one around, he dialed the phone, "Xu Hao, didn't you say that you would get rid of Jiang Li? Why is she still fine?"

"Are you embarrassed to ask me?I was fucking beaten up and haven't settled the account yet!" As soon as he said this, Xu Hao was furious, if it wasn't for Gu Cun's timely arrival last night, he would have succeeded a long time ago!

"What? You were beaten up, does it matter?" Ina asked worriedly.

"At least take a break. ”

"That'...... What do you say about the designer competition?Do you really want her to participate?" Ina was anxious, after a period of time with Jiang Li's colleagues, she knew Jiang Li's strength very well, and she had to get the top three to participate, which was out of her original idea.

Xu Hao sneered, "Don't worry, I still have a way!"

Receiving an affirmative answer, Ina was relieved and asked him to take care of himself and hurried back to his seat.

In the building of Baiya Group, a middle-aged man came to the door of the office on the top floor and knocked on the door tremblingly, and a deep voice came from inside, "Come in!"

The middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered, standing respectfully in front of the desk and not daring to come out.

The person sitting in front of him was Gu Cun, and he signed the document and handed it to Li Yuan unhurriedly before looking up at the man in front of him, "Mr. Xu has a big shelf now, and he has become the person in charge?"

There was something in Gu Cun's words, the man called Mr. Xu didn't hear it, this person was Xu Hao's father Xu Shixin, who trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Gu, I don't dare...... I already know what Xu Hao has done, and what Mr. Gu has taught is ...... I will definitely educate him well, and he will not be so confused again!"

"You can handle this matter yourself, and my words will be left here. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Xu Shixin nodded respectfully in agreement.

After coming out of the office, Xu Shixin was already sweating profusely, the atmosphere just now was too depressing, and now he felt much better, so he left here in a hurry and made a phone call to Xu Hao.

"You bastard, who do you mess with, you have to mess with Gu Cun! I don't know how to save me!"

Xu Hao was lying at home recuperating, and was scolded by Xu Shixin with a confused face, "I didn't mess with him! I just took a fancy to a girl, is it necessary to lose such a big temper?"

"Don't look at who it is! That's Gu Cun's woman! I warn you, don't mess with him, including the people around him, or I won't be able to protect you. Xu Shixin hung up the phone angrily.

Xu Hao was inexplicably scolded and was in a very unhappy mood, Jiang Li was actually on the list, he really underestimated her, let him not mess with her? That's impossible, but the current top priority is to heal the injury first, and then prepare for the designer competition by the way.

……

The final contestants of the designer competition have come out, and Jiangcheng Daily has also reported on this matter, and the media still attaches great importance to it, at the same time, Jiang Li also received an email, informing her that she will come to the scene to compete in a week, and there is not so much time in time.

Jiang Li's colleagues in the company knew about the news of the designer competition, and received a lot of congratulations, but most of them were not sincere, after all, everyone has selfish intentions, and Jiang Li didn't take it seriously.

During the lunch break, Jiang Li ordered takeout and waited for lunch on her seat, thinking about what kind of design work she would come up with on the day of the competition.

When Kang Chenqing came over, she saw Jiang Li staring at the computer in a daze, with a pair of big eyes revealing a serious look, and she naturally exuded charm at this time.

"Jiang Li, don't work so hard, take a break. Kang Chenqing took lunch and put it in front of her.

Jiang Li, who interrupted his train of thought, was a little uncomfortable, and said casually: "I have already ordered takeout, you can take it." ”

"Eating takeout is not nutritious, this is the soup I made myself, can you taste it?"

"No, I'm busy. Jiang Li did not hesitate to refuse his invitation and continued to draw on the computer.

Kang Chenqing glanced at it, as if it was something needed on the day of the competition, and stepped forward to help her, "Actually, I think it's ......"

Before his words spoke, Jiang Li stared at him very dissatisfied, looking like you were very annoyed, "Mr. Kang, I need to say it a few times, I'm busy now, I don't have time to pay attention to you, can you leave?"

This was the first time Jiang Li had spoken to him in such a heavy tone, Kang Chenqing was stunned for a moment, and was a little abrupt at him, "Are you unhappy?" I'm just concerned about you, I'm afraid you're tired." ”

"Mr. Kang, I'm married, please don't bother me here, okay?"

Jiang Li's admission of the fact that he was married in front of him was not good news for Kang Chenqing, he felt that it was just an excuse for Jiang Li to reject him.

"I don't think your marriage is happy, I don't want you to force yourself, if you can, I think I can ......"

"Do you want me to cheat?" Jiang Li interrupted him and asked him rhetorically.

Kang Chenqing was stunned, waved his hand and denied, "I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong, I just think it's ......"

"Do you think it's just that you think, don't use your own thoughts to guess other people's lives? Mr. Kang, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll be busy first, please don't look for me again in the future except for work. ”

Jiang Li said it bluntly and clearly, no matter how stupid a person is, he can hear that he was rejected.

Kang Chenqing didn't say anything, silently took his things and went out, went to the trash can in the corridor, and looked at the hot soup in his hand, which he deliberately cooked, just to see that Jiang Li has been working very hard recently, but he still worked in vain.

Just as she was about to throw it in the trash, Ina came back from outside and took it, "Hey, what is this? It smells so good!"

She opened the lid, and the aroma of the soup came to her face, "It looks delicious, Mr. Kang, why do you want to throw this away?"

"I don't want it anymore. ”

"Don't give it to me, I haven't eaten enough for lunch, this is just for afternoon tea. "Ina is not picky, as long as it is Kang Chenqing's things, they are good.

Kang Chenqing was sad, did not stop her, gave her all the things, and went back to his office.

Jiang Li didn't know about this episode, but before getting off work, she saw that there was an extra lunch box on Yina's table, which looked a little familiar, so she took her bag and went downstairs.

After Xu Hao's incident, Gu Cun arranged a full-time driver for Jiang Li, who originally wanted Li Yuan to pick him up, but the company had a lot of things to do, and he needed Li Yuan's help, so he arranged for her separately.

"Mrs. Gu, please get in the car. The driver opened the door.

Jiang Li sat up and asked, "Send me to Mr. Gu's company, I have something to do with him." ”

The second time I came to Baiya Group alone, without Li Yuan to lead the way, I could only enter the building after registering from the front desk, got on the elevator, and went straight to the top floor.

She could have greeted Gu Cun in advance, but she wanted to come alone.

went up to the top floor, the front desk outside was not there, Jiang Li went directly into the office, and when he entered the door, he saw Gu Cun standing facing the window and talking on the phone, his voice was very small and focused, Jiang Li approached him and didn't notice it.

I only heard Gu Cun say: "Remember to tell me when you come back, I welcome you back at any time." ”

The tone is gentle and abnormal, Jiang Li has never heard of this tone, and the faint pantothenic acid in her heart is a little uncomfortable, this feeling is extremely uncomfortable, Jiang Li tried her best to hide that emotion.

"When did you come? Why didn't you say a word to me?" Gu Cun hung up the phone and turned around to see Jiang Li in a daze, grabbing her hand, Jiang Li gently withdrew, I don't know why, she was a little disgusted.

"It's okay to go back from work, just come and go around. Jiang Li took out the computer from her bag and clicked on her manuscript, "There are some things I think need to be changed, you can take a look." ”

Gu Cun stood behind her, and did not avoid her, almost half-hugged Jiang Li in his arms, put his right hand on the computer, clicked a few times, and changed some details, and in an instant, the structure of an interior decoration was different.

"What do you think of this?" Gu Cun turned his head and asked her, the breath of the voice was blowing on the side of her ear, itchy, Jiang Li shrank his head and avoided it, focusing on the computer.

Not to mention, after being changed by Gu Cun, it is different, the picture from the living room to the room is more comfortable, and it is more in line with the style of the design competition, Jiang Li was surprised, and forgot that he was in his arms at this time, and turned back with a smile and responded, "It's really ......"

The two of them were very close to her as soon as she turned around, the two faces looked at each other, the distance was less than five centimeters, her breath was entangled, her eyes were looking at each other, Gu Cun's eyes were smiling, Jiang Li was the same, her face was red, except for Qin Lang, it was the second time that she had such close contact with a man, and the affection reached a certain level, the two slowly approached, and at the moment when they were about to kiss, the office door opened.

"Gu ......" Li Yuan saw such a scene as soon as he came in, and quickly turned around and left.

The atmosphere was interrupted, Gu Cun was unhappy in his heart, and Jiang Li also lowered his head shyly and didn't dare to look at him.

Despite this, Gu Cun still didn't want to waste this rare time, so he put his arm around Jiang Li's waist and pulled her in, kissing her with cold and soft lips.

Jiang Li was stunned and forgot to push him away, until Gu Cun let go of him before he reacted, covering his mouth and blushing with shame.

"You finish this first, I'm busy with work, and I'll go home together. Gu Cun, who tasted the sweetness, was in a particularly happy mood, and he didn't care about the sudden interruption just now.

Then Li Yuancai came in to report on his work, and quietly glanced at Gu Cun and Jiang Li's expressions, and knew what was going on.

After that, the two of them were all right, each busy with their own work, Jiang Li prepared all the things needed on the day of the game and put them in the document, seeing that Gu Cun was still busy, he took out his mobile phone and chatted with Fang Wanqing.

Fang Wanqing asked how she and Gu Cun were developing, and asked her to get along with Gu Cun well, and not always think about anything else.

She can understand what she means, but Jiang Li always can't help but miss Qin Lang, last night's dream seems to mean something, of course, I haven't told Fang Wanqing about this.

After making an appointment to meet and talk again in two days, Gu Cun was already busy, and walked over and naturally held her hand.

Jiang Li didn't shirk it, and let him lead him downstairs.

After arriving home, I had a simple dinner, Jiang Li went back to the room to wash, took a shower and felt a lot more comfortable, there was no sleepiness for a while, Jiang Li wanted to go to the living room to sit, and when she passed Gu Cun's room, she paused for a moment, wondering whether to call him together, and stopped at the door to prepare to knock.

Before he could knock on the door, he heard someone talking inside, as if he was on the phone, and his tone was the same as in the afternoon, and he vaguely heard the recent situation, and then the voice was quieter and never heard again.

The unpleasant feeling in her heart came again, the woman's sixth sense told her that the person on the phone must be a woman, as for who this person was, Jiang Li didn't know, she guessed that it would be the 'sister-in-law' that Tang Yuyao said?

She had only seen a few friends around Gu Cun, and she had only seen men at present, but with an attractive man like him, there should be many women who liked him, right? Realizing that she was thinking a little too much, Jiang Li once again disrupted such thoughts.

She was just a little unhappy, and the unpleasant point was that since Gu Cun chose to be with her, why did he talk to other women so gently? Was it something she had never seen before? Or was he hanging on to other people's appetites while being with her?

As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Li was not happy, turned around and went back to her room, and locked the door with her hand.

When Gu Cun came out and opened the door habitually, he found that Jiang Li's door was locked, knocked on the door and asked, "Are you sleeping?"

"Sleep, I don't need you to accompany me tonight. "The light in Enashi's room has been turned off, and from the light under the door, you can see that there is a figure there, and it will be gone after a while.

Without Gu Cun's company, Jiang Li couldn't sleep well this night, for several days, she didn't let Gu Cun accompany her, and Gu Cun didn't force it, and she was still very considerate and caring for her on weekdays.

Until the day of the designer competition, the competition time was at ten o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Li arrived at the venue of the competition at about half past nine.

The best selection is exactly ten people, divided into two and two, each person prepares two different plans, and the winner is the champion.

Jiang Li participated in such a competition for the first time, and she was very nervous, but on the surface, she had to be calm and comfortable.

The palms of his hands were already sweating, he was sitting in the background uneasily holding the computer, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated twice, and when he clicked on it, it was a message from Gu Cun: Come on, you have to believe that you must do it!

Jiang Li didn't reply after seeing it, but her heart was a lot more settled, Gu Cun had been helping her explain for so many days, and improving her shortcomings, I believe there was no problem.

Just after ten o'clock, the host at the front desk began the dialogue, first introduced the cooperation units and related leaders, this time the scale is very large, and the judges invited are also famous interior designers in the industry, among which several people Jiang Li also knows, have seen their works.

After the host introduced the judges, he thanked the father of the gold owner, and only then did he invite the contestants to play, the rules of this competition were determined by lottery, Jiang Li was the last group, and she was faced off against an inconspicuous girl.

On the big screen, each designer's work is displayed, and the designer introduces his or her own design concept.

The full name of this competition is: The 7th Habitat Design Competition.

As the name suggests, it is necessary for each designer to design a decoration style, which can be achieved by every family, but at the same time, it must be combined with fashion and reality, so it is still a little difficult.

Jiang Li saw the works and explanations of the two designers in the background, which were perfect, and after the judges discussed with each other, they chose the second one, and the first person criticized her body completely, and she was even more nervous.

Immediately after the second wave came on, the same as the previous round, until the first four were over, and finally it was the turn of Jiang Li's group.

Jiang Li first took out the work she designed, went through the prepared speech in her mind, and began to tell the big screen: "My design concept comes from myself, and the first thing to show is the living room ......"

She spoke unhurriedly, adding some memories and dreams from her childhood, because she grew up in a single-parent family, and she wanted children very much, and wanted to give herself and her children a complete family, so she added a children's room to her design, including the living room and details for the children.

Jiang Li glanced at the expressions of the judges below from time to time, they had smiles on their faces, they were obviously very satisfied with this work, Jiang Li was more confident, and after the end, the audience applauded warmly.

Then it was her opponent who started, and Jiang Li sat on the side and listened quietly.

When she was finished, the judges began to discuss, the whole hall was very quiet, Jiang Li could clearly hear her heartbeat in her ears, and vaguely heard her name, she looked at the big screen in disbelief, and sure enough, she saw her name, she won!

She actually won!

During the intermission, Jiang Li took the time to send a message to Gu Cun, telling him that he had entered the final round, and after sending the message, the host came over to inform her that she was ready to prepare something, and she was going to play in a while.

The rules of the final round of the competition are different, the two contestants show their works at the same time, and the opponent's works are evaluated to a certain extent, which is a relatively high requirement, because you have to treat other people's works with a normal heart, and you can't just praise yourself.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and walked to the stage step by step, when the picture on the big screen came out, she was still smiling, but the audience and the judges all let out an exclamation.

Jiang Li turned his head to look at the screen, and was also stunned, there were two works on the big screen, the one on the left was Jiang Li's, and the one on the right was another person, but their works were indeed exactly the same, almost the same.

"How can this be ......" Jiang Li couldn't believe it, she had spent her time to make this, how could anyone else do exactly the same as her? Not to mention that there was Gu Cun's addition here, how could others know Gu Cun's thoughts?

"Oh my God, who's copying whom?"

"It's exactly the same! I can't tell who copied who's ......."

Jiang Li's ears sounded with various voices, the discussion of the audience below, and the sound of the host asking for a temporary suspension of the game...... The mess made her even more messy, and she didn't understand what the hell was going on.

Standing there at a loss, he suddenly saw a person standing under the stage in front of him, and when he looked closely, there were bruises on that person's face, wasn't it Xu Hao, who was beaten badly that night? When was he there?

Xu Hao looked at Jiang Li, his face full of schadenfreude.
