"It is my honor to be able to eat the dishes cooked by Mr. Gu. Xiao Ran, after standing for so long, my ankle must hurt. Since Mr. Gu wants to take charge and show us a hand, let's not delay him here, I'll help you go to the sofa and sit down. ”

As he spoke, Lu Xingchuan had already lifted An Xiaoran's arm.

"She's here!"

Gu Chen's arm blocked and stopped them.

Lu Xingchuan smiled: "Mr. Gu, Xiao Ran is injured, and she can't help you if she stays." ”

"I'm happy when she's standing here, can't I?"

Lu Xingchuan withdrew his hand and inserted it into his trouser pocket: "Your reason is really chic." If I'm not mistaken, you had a fight a few hours ago. Mr. Gu's attitude on the phone was not very friendly, why did it suddenly change, because of me?"

Lu Xingchuan tonight is very different, in the past, he was more reserved, and rarely went toe-to-toe with others like this. Now that he is on Gu Chen's territory again, Lu Xingchuan's attitude can be described as arrogant.

An Xiaoran was very embarrassed to be caught in the middle, her feet were indeed a little painful, but because of Gu Chen's murderous gaze, she couldn't just follow Lu Xingchuan back to rest.

"Well, I'll stay and continue to wash the vegetables. Lu Xingchuan, you go eat some fruit, we will be here immediately. ”

Lu Xingchuan did not force An Xiaoran: "Women are used for pain, not for washing vegetables, Xiao Ran, don't always be so sensible, you will suffer in the future." With that, he strode out of the kitchen.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, An Xiaoran hurriedly walked to the pool: "What else are you going to cook?"

Gu Chen's face darkened, and he pushed her aside: "You don't need you here, stand!"

An Xiaoran didn't know where he did wrong, how to go, he was angry, and he still had a bad face when he stayed. However, looking at Gu Chen's meticulous cleaning of vegetables, An Xiaoran's anger gradually dissipated.

What appeared in front of her was a tall back in the soft light, but it was so harmonious in the kitchen that shouldn't have matched him. An Xiaoran couldn't help but wonder how a person like Gu Chen practiced such good cooking skills. I can't help but recall the taste of his porridge, and I don't know what magic has been added that makes her unforgettable now.

"What are you doing stupidly, I let you stay because I want to see you, not let you see me. ”

An Xiaoran turned her head in embarrassment: "I, I didn't look at you, less narcissistic......"

Gu Chen turned around and sat down on the cooking table, his strong fingers still had water droplets hanging on them, which were as clear as precious gems.

"Who else do you want to see?"

The magnetic hoarse voice revealed an almost imperceptible pampering, such a fascinated voice, An Xiaoran's heart was about to melt.

Facts have proved that Gu Chen is not a fancy style, and the dishes he makes are indeed rare and delicious. Lu Xingchuan took a bite of the dish in his mouth, and the moment the delicate taste hit his taste buds, he looked at Gu Chen, his eyes full of surprise.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, very proud: "What does Mr. Lu think, does the taste still suit your taste." ”

Lu Xingchuan lowered his eyes, swallowed the dish dryly, and nodded lightly: "Not bad." ”

It was really good and unexpectedly delicious. At such a level, the chef of a star-rated restaurant is not exaggerated.

I wanted to show my hand in front of An Xiaoran, but obviously, his skills were not as superb as Gu Chen's, and the taste was not of the same level.

"You're too thin, eat more. ”

Gu Chen, who was temporarily ahead, did not intend to give Lu Xingchuan a chance to secretly feel sad, and planned to continue to hit him. Gu Chen intimately dyed vegetables for An Xiao, and after a while, the dishes on her plate were piled up.

In high society, table manners are important. Western food needs to be divided into separate meals, and although Chinese food is not as strict as ensuring hygiene, it is also necessary to clip it yourself, or use shared chopsticks to clip it for others, Gu Chen used his own chopsticks to dye and sandwich vegetables for An Xiao, which shows that they have a very close relationship.

An Xiaoran was a little embarrassed, and she couldn't refute Gu Chen's face, so she could only let him do whatever he wanted.

Gu Chen held her hand under the table and slapped the back of her hand defiantly: "Baby, why don't you eat it?"

An Xiaoran's back was cold, so she could only take a bite helplessly.

Lu Xingchuan frowned: "Xiao Ran, since when did you start eating green peppers? ”

An Xiao swallowed it with chewing wax, thinking that she had fought so hard, and Lu Xingchuan still wanted which pot not to mention.

"Later, I felt that it wasn't so unpalatable......

Gu Chen's movements were slightly stiff, she didn't like to eat green peppers, he didn't even know it......

He was a little annoyed, but he couldn't have a seizure, put down the chopsticks, and he pushed her plate aside: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it!"

An Xiaoran just wanted to take another bite, but was frightened by Gu Chen's action, and the chopsticks in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

She was unhappy, he was angry in his stomach, why did he take her plate to pission, so that she had to get another pair of chopsticks.

When Zhang's mother saw it, she immediately ran to the kitchen to help her prepare a new pair of chopsticks, and Steward Zhou said with a smile: "Mr. Lu really knows Miss An, and he even knows what Miss An likes and dislikes so thoroughly." ”

It's okay if Steward Zhou doesn't say it, but with such a reminder, Gu Chen's face will be extremely dark.

Didn't Lu Xingchuan just appear a few years earlier, and he knew a little bit about An Xiaoran, what was the big deal. Now, she's not his woman yet?

"Your feet are inconvenient, I'll come. ”

An Xiaoran just wanted to bend down to pick up chopsticks, but Gu Chen squatted down one step ahead of her. An Xiaoran just wanted to say no, but suddenly, there was a wet and warm feeling on his hand.

Her face turned red and she wanted to withdraw her hand in a panic, but Gu Chen took advantage of the tablecloth to hold her hand in her mouth arrogantly. The tip of his tongue, punishing, bit at the most sensitive part of her hand.

An Xiaoran's breathing was sluggish, and she subconsciously looked at Lu Xingchuan, Lu Xingchuan also noticed her abnormality, and just wanted to lift the tablecloth to look, Gu Chen had already gotten up and put her fallen chopsticks aside.

Lu Xingchuan didn't know what Gu Chen had done, but it was certain that An Xiaoran was afraid of him. He asked her to stay in the kitchen, she would stay even if her ankle was swollen too high, and her dishes were pushed away by him brutally, but An Xiaoran accepted it silently without any complaints.

In his impression, she had never been so compromised. Even if Gu Chen cares about her, An Xiaoran is by his side, he is not happy at all, Gu Chen is just a whim, and when he loses interest, he will leave her mercilessly.

She is his most beloved person, and he will never allow An Xiaoran to be hurt like that. Since nothing has happened to Gu Chen and her, then he has the right to compete. He and Gu Chen, in the final analysis, are the same.

"Mr. Gu, the building materials on my side are already in place, as long as the construction drawings are all ready, you can start construction. I'm sorry that the scandal affected the progress of the project, but I don't think these personal issues should be an obstacle to the whole project. Instead, we should strike while the iron is hot and turn it into motivation. While everyone's attention is focused on the development zone, let them take a closer look at how full our first phase is. ”

Gu Chen squeezed An Xiaoran's hand and did not allow her to resist.

"Are you sure you're okay, is the Gao family allowed it?" he smiled lightly: "You do control half of the Gao family unconsciously, but so what, the construction of a group never depends on shares, but on people's hearts." Gao Chengtian is a small role, but the Red Star Group is also an industry that he has struggled for all his life, he started from scratch, and how many hardships he has gone through, the shareholders are all in the eyes. Do you think they will be relieved that a newcomer like you will be in charge of the entire industry, and will disobey Gao Chengtian's will? Wouldn't the risk of doing so be too great? ”

This is also the biggest bottleneck that Lu Xingchuan has encountered recently, Gao Chengtian has withdrawn from the shareholders' meeting for many years due to physical discomfort, and when Lu Xingchuan took over before, everyone also respected him.

However, since he knew that he and Gao Chengtian had fallen out, the shareholders' meeting was divided into three forces.

One of them is to support him, most of them are the contacts he has accumulated in the past few years, and the other is to support Gao Chengtian, and the old ministers account for the vast majority. There are still quite a few who have decided to wait and see. But Lu Xingchuan knew that even if these people compromised, once there was a stir, they would betray him.

In this way, there are not many people under him who can be used, and there are even fewer who are shrewd and capable.

The development of a large project requires the concerted efforts of the whole group, and one less link may be wasted. Gao Chengtian saw this, so he messed with him everywhere. If he does not reconcile with Gao Shanshan and the Gao family, and if he does not bow down to the Gao family, the project in the development zone will not be able to proceed smoothly.

"I believe that things are man-made, and the development zone will bring a qualitative leap to the Red Star Group, and they will not put money without making money. ”

"It's better to be like that. ”

Gu Chen didn't expect that Lu Xingchuan would take the initiative to argue with Gao Chengtian. At the beginning, Zhan Maoyong chose to marry Gao Chengtian, but did not find a family with the right family, perhaps because he took a fancy to the tenacious character of Gao Chengtian's rich generation.

You must know that it can be called a business miracle to be able to bring the industry to the point of Red Star Group all at once, without a little ancestral shade. On the surface, Gao Chengtian looks like he is being slaughtered by others, but in fact, the tenacity in his bones is incomparable to many top businessmen.

Lu Xingchuan argued with him, and the ending can be imagined. I believe that Lu Xingchuan and Gao Chengtian have lived for so many years, it is impossible not to know his temperament. Most of the reasons why he can take the initiative to declare war is because of An Xiaoran......

"I'm doing this for the sake of Xiao Ran. ”

Lu Xingchuan took a deep breath and said solemnly.

So, several people at the table froze there.

Lu Xingchuan's eyes were hot, and he couldn't wait to stare at a hole in An Xiaoran's body: "For Xiao Ran, even if the road ahead is difficult, I have to try it." ”

Lu Xingchuan's words confirmed Gu Chen's conjecture, and Gu Chen sneered: "For her, she has to agree." Gu Chen looked at An Xiaoran and asked her threateningly, "Are you willing?"

An Xiaoran was like sitting on pins and needles, and she couldn't wait to escape from this weird dinner immediately.

What happened to Lu Xingchuan, why did he suddenly seem to be a different person. Didn't he push her into the fire pit when he said that, I don't know, I thought something really happened to them tonight.

“……”

Gu Chen suddenly clenched, An Xiaoran's hand was in pain, and he only felt that his fingers were about to be crushed by Gu Chen.

"Lu Xingchuan......" An Xiaoran endured the pain and said weakly: "Don't be so impulsive." ”

Lu Xingchuan said lovingly: "Xiao Ran, you don't have to answer him, and you don't have to give anyone an answer. It's my business to like you, without anyone's permission, including you. ”

Lu Xingchuan's words made An Xiaoran's heart slash with a touch of pain, and Gu Chen squeezed her hand and tightened it.
