Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Call from an Ex
After Su Dashao finalized the performance list and repertoire, the final finishing work of the Spring New Year's performance season was finally in full swing.
Gu Nanqiao is proud of his love scene, and things in the business field are also developing steadily.
Although I am so busy that I hit the back of my head every day, I can clearly see that the whole troupe is getting better and better, and the work performance makes people feel quite accomplished, so that even the hard work has an inexplicable hard work. The only unpleasant episode was that after the rehearsal, Shen You, an ex who had been silent for a long time, actually called her.
Seeing the call reminder on the mobile phone screen, Gu Nanqiao was obviously stunned.
The notes stored in the address book have long been deleted, and only a string of phone numbers are displayed at the moment, but after all, they have been together for too long, and just cold numbers are enough to evoke some unpleasant thoughts.
This is the first time Shen You has contacted Gu Nanqiao after the breakup.
In Gu Nanqiao's world, the past is just "the past", and a good horse still doesn't eat back grass, let alone an extremely proud person. So as early as when they broke up, they had already returned to the bridge and returned to the road, and they had nothing to do with it, not to mention that now that Gu Nanqiao and Su Yiyang have confirmed their relationship, these past events are even less worth mentioning.
In all fairness, Gu Nanqiao and Shen You didn't break up peacefully, and the reason why they didn't make a particularly ugly fuss was entirely because Gu Nanqiao was unilaterally too lazy to make trouble.
Gu Nanqiao hates betrayal and deception the most in his life, and his tolerance index for stepping on two boats is completely zero. Not to mention that it was Shen You who cheated first that day, when Gu Nanqiao broke the personal relationship between him and his new love Li Xuanci, there was no old love between the two of them.
Not to mention on the day of the showdown in the office, Shen You's various behaviors are not at all a scumbag word that can be summed up. If Gu Nanqiao was a little more careful, and posted many of his actions on the Internet with a lot of pen and ink, it would be a freshly baked excellent ex-melon reading book, which was enough for the majority of melon-eating netizens to scold for several rounds.
And Gu Nanqiao was too lazy to do this, not because he still remembered his old feelings, or because he felt unbearable or reluctant in his heart, but he simply felt that it was unnecessary.
For people who are already irrelevant, the best way to deal with them is to be indifferent.
So much for.
So for Shen You's phone call, Gu Nanqiao didn't plan to answer it at all.
Who knew that the person on the other end of the phone was particularly persistent, but after a few seconds, he actually called again. Continuing to pretend to be dead is not a solution, and after hesitating for a moment, Gu Nanqiao still pressed the call button.
"Jojo, hey, it's me...... Didn't bother you, did you?" As the phone was connected, Shen You's voice came quickly, as if he was in a corridor or other open place, and there was a faint echo after the words fell.
"Yes, it's me. Gu Nanqiao didn't say anything polite to Shen You, and asked straight to the point, "It's very rare that you can actually callβwhat's the matter, just say it." β
"I have something to talk to you about, Jojo. Shen You didn't seem to be able to hear the mockery in Gu Nanqiao's tone, and opened his mouth unhurriedly, "It's about the spring garden, is it convenient for you to talk about it now?"
"What......" Gu Nanqiao repeated in a low voice, "About the garden full of spring?"
She said to herself, "Isn't this fresh?"
In his lifetime, I can hear from Shen You that he took the initiative to talk about the spring garden, which really responds to the sentence that feng shui takes turns, everything is possible.
When they were together, the spring garden was a thunderstorm between Gu Nanqiao and Shen You, but whenever it was mentioned, there was a cold war in the small, a quarrel in the big one, and even the final breakup, all of which were inseparable from Gu Nanqiao's insistence on developing this private theater troupe. This insurmountable deep gulf will always lie there, reminding them of the huge difference between the two three views, about the future development path, and about the trade-offs and choices of dealing with the world, which are so incompatible.
Now, Shen You actually took the initiative to talk about it.
"What's wrong with the spring garden, what is Mr. Shen's opinion?"
This sentence of Mr. Shen was almost life, and directly stretched the distance between the two of them very far, and after a few seconds of silence, Gu Nanqiao seemed to hear Shen Youhe's undetectable sigh.
But Gu Nanqiao was no longer willing to delve into it.
Shen You's tone paused, and he quickly adjusted his emotions, but left a sentence with an unclear meaning, "It's not a high opinion, it's just that there is some inside information, you may not understand it on the phone, you see when it's convenient, I'll go to you." β
"If you don't understand it on the phone, then don't say it. Gu Nanqiao didn't answer Shen You's words, and said lightly, "Now that the spring garden is developing very well, you don't need to worry about it anymore, and besides, we both have our own partners now...... You know what I mean, I don't want to cause any misunderstanding, so there's no need to dwell on it. β
The other end of the line was quiet, so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing clearly.
"I heard that you and Su Yiyang are together?"
"What, you are only allowed to cheat and find a new love, and I am not allowed to fall in love normally?"
"Qiaoqiao, do you know Su Yiyang, do you know who he is? He is not a suitable love partner, everyone in the circle knows that there is no shortage of girls around Su Dashao, there are so many people around him, and I have never heard of him being particularly attentive to him, do you think such a playboy will take care of you for you?"
Shen You's voice was as low and nice as ever, sounding unhurried or impatient, as if he wanted to persuade others in an orderly manner, and then gain the upper hand in the confrontation.
"If it weren't for personal feelings, I just wanted to find a strong backer for the spring garden...... So, Qiaoqiao, I can tell you responsibly, Su Yiyang is by no means as simple as you think, you can't take advantage of him, don't put yourself in it, and get into trouble again, clean it up as soon as possible. β
Shen You's words are not good, and they can even be said to be a little sharp.
In this regard, Gu Nanqiao just gave a merciless sneer: "I know what you said, Su Yiyang is my boyfriend, I will find out about him by myself, so I don't need you to talk to me, as for the so-called "lace news" - you said it, it was those girls who surrounded Su Yiyang, and then he didn't pay attention to anyone during the period, this strange Su Yiyang?"
"Take 10,000 steps back, the Su Group has a big business, Su Yiyang, as the only eldest young master of the Su family, is so talented and talented, if there is no peach blossom debt, it is not normal, right?
Speaking of this, Gu Nanqiao's tone paused slightly, and he chuckled sarcastically.
"As for what you said about finding a backer...... Shen You, you and I are not all the way, and I can't do the things you did, so you don't have to push yourself and others at this time. β
"Qiaoqiao......" Shen You wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by Gu Nanqiao.
"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, I have precious time, so I won't catch up with you. Gu Nanqiao couldn't hear any superfluous feelings in his tone, and he was only impatient, "If you want to talk about business cooperation with Chunse Manyuan, go to Su Yiyang to talk, I'm not responsible for this." If it's publicity or something like that, then contact Zhong Ziyi, the publicity director, and as for the rest..... I don't think we have any extra personal relationships, so we won't provide backdoor service, sorry. β
This sentence was too crisp and decisive, drawing the line very clearly, and also ruthlessly scolding back all the unspoken words of Shen You.
As Gu Nanqiao's words fell, Shen You on the other end of the phone subconsciously frowned.
Of course, Shen You's phone call was not just for reminiscence, since that breakup showdown, he wanted to contact Gu Nanqiao countless times, but he never found a suitable opportunity, so he dragged it out until now.
That time was the most important moment for Shen You to gain a firm foothold in the Li Group, and the most important thing he needed to do was to stabilize Miss Li, convert her heart into those exchange interests, and not let his previous efforts fall short.
So no matter how much he thought about Gu Nanqiao, Shen You could only hide a lot of reluctance in the deepest part of his heart, and restrain all his entangled thoughts with reason.
Previously, he had always felt that although what he had done was excessive, it was also excusable. He and Gu Nanqiao have been going around and around for so long, and after counting the feelings accumulated over the years, presumably no matter how simple Gu Nanqiao is, he can't turn the page immediately.
And as long as she is still a little reluctant in her heart, Shen You still has a chance to redeem it.
It's just a matter of time.
It wasn't until it was rumored in the circle that Su Yiyang had a master, and the new love was Gu Nanqiao, that Shen You couldn't sit still at all.
In addition, the recent discord between Liyuantang and Su Dashao has caused a lot of trouble, and several companies have heard the rumors and taken the opportunity to stand in line, and the cooperation plan for the project of "Dream" was finally handed to the office of Li's daughter, Shen You finally found an opportunity and wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to talk to Gu Nanqiao.
But if you think about it in advance, you don't say a word at the moment.
It wasn't until this moment that Shen You finally understood that Gu Nanqiao was far more decisive than he imagined, and the many concessions and concessions she showed when they were together before were not that she couldn't afford it. The reason why she repeatedly gave unqualified lovers opportunities was nothing more than taking on a word of love, but Shen You couldn't see it thoroughly, and she always didn't dare to leave.
And when the sweetness of the old days fades, the old love between them has long been overwhelmed.
Gu Nanqiao's attitude was expressed so clearly, Shen You couldn't say anything more.
Those words that wanted to be said and stopped, circled between his lips and teeth and were swallowed alive, and there was no need to say anything about apologies or redemptions, of course, even if he said it, Gu Nanqiao would probably not answer the conversation.
"Good...... Then I won't say anything more. After a short silence, Shen You just left a sentence, "By the way, you are planning to participate in the New Year's performance season in the spring, you are ...... Pay attention, I'm done with all my words, good luck. β
Gu Nanqiao was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he hung up the phone very simply.
She didn't know the true intention of Shen You's phone call, and she didn't want to waste too much thought on this kind of meaningless vignette, so she didn't delve into the meaning behind the meaningful "you pay more attention", and quickly left it behind.
Gu Nanqiao didn't take these things to heart.
It wasn't until much later that she knew what Shen You was referring to.
