Chapter VIII
Wen Yan sent Yao Kai out, while Gu Heng sat back on the sofa, picked up the half of the tea that had cooled down and continued to drink, looking up slightly at the hidden door, his eyes were a little ethereal.
Wen Yan sent Yao Kai to the elevator entrance, and chatted with him a few words, from beginning to end she was very calm and generous, but Yao Kai was a little embarrassed by his blunt attitude just now, so he hurriedly entered the elevator with the plan book.
Wen Yan returned to Gu Heng's office, saw the tea cup in Gu Heng's hand, and asked softly, "The tea is cold, I'll boil another pot?" ”
"No need." Gu Heng put down the teacup, folded his slender legs elegantly in front of him, and then leaned back on the sofa calmly, a pair of sharp eyes looked at Wen Yan fixedly, and his voice was faint, "Your words are too full, and there is no room at all, why do you think Yao Kai will agree to you?" ”
Wen Yan lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of confusion and incomprehension in his eyes, and he soon returned to calm.
"I never thought Yao Kai would definitely agree." Wen Yan raised his eyes, did not shy away from meeting Gu Heng's calm and sharp gaze, and said unhurriedly, "As I said before, if SG doesn't agree, our Gu family can completely seek new partners, but SG has strong financial resources, and others may not have its wealth, so I want to fight for it." After a pause, the expression on his face did not change, but there was a hint of a delicate smile in his eyes, "In fact, Yao Kai is just the person in charge of the project, such a big project investment, he must ask his boss, although the shopping mall is like a battlefield, but everyone is a businessman, understand that it is not a business to make a profit, but to make the partner profitable is the long-term way, Shen Mou has been in the shopping mall for many years, has courage and knowledge, long-term vision, and his wrist is also smart, and he single-handedly forged SG into the most powerful multinational consortium, which should not be underestimated, How could he not understand this? So I don't think he has any reason to refuse our proposal, and there is no reason to cut off his own financial path in order to block Gu's profits, after all, compared to others, Gu's is also his better choice, this is my opinion, young master's opinion? ”
Gu Heng was silent, he didn't seem to be moved by the huge profits brought by the upcoming cooperation with SG, his expression was very light, he was not surprised or happy, he just looked at Wen Yan and talked eloquently in front of him. Her face was slightly pale, her thin lips couldn't help moving, and her dark eyes flashed with jumping light, compared to the usual obedience and humility, she was obviously much more real and vivid now.
He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he didn't speak for a while, and after a long silence, he suddenly said: "You made the proposal, I have no opinion, you just need to sue me and win the cooperation case with SG, how sure are you?" ”
Wen Yan thought for a moment: "Eight ~ nine out of ten." ”
"If SG can get three times the profit, what about our Gu family?"
"At least three times as much."
Gu Heng suddenly laughed, not from the pleasure and satisfaction of the heart, but with a sneer, with a faint sarcasm: "I want five times." ”
Wen Yan's lips moved, but he didn't speak, but looked at Gu Heng carefully, was he serious? Or is it just a joke? His face was cold and he didn't give her any answer. She didn't understand, for Gu's actual investment in this cooperation, the threefold profit was already very good, it was a beautiful and impeccable cooperation plan, which was unprecedented in Gu's history, what was he not satisfied with?
Of course, she wouldn't ask him why, and Wen Yan would never ask Gu Heng why, even if what he did was unreasonable. She just looked at him quietly, and then slightly provoked the pair of slender and cold long eyebrows, her eyes were clear, there was no embarrassment or doubt, and she looked like there was some extraordinary taste of mountains and rivers.
Then, she nodded silently and replied to him with one word: "Okay." ”
When the matter of the cooperation case was decided, the two of them suddenly stopped talking, and there was a cold and strange silence in the office. It's hard to imagine that they are close enough and tacit enough to be close enough to each other, but they can't be like friends, let alone family, and they seem to have nothing to say except instructions and execution.
Wen Yan was thinking about asking Gu Heng to go back to his office to think about the cooperation case, when Gu Heng's mobile phone rang.
He casually glanced at his phone, it was burning, and Wen Yan also guessed who it was through his look, so he asked him with his eyes.
Gu Heng didn't look at Wen Yan, but just raised his hand to make a gesture to her, Wen Yan understood, and did not take a step, but stood quietly in place and listened to Gu Heng pick up the phone.
"Coming back?" Different from the coldness and detachment just now, Gu Heng's tone was instantly much softer, and there was a smile on his lips.
Wen Yan turned his face and looked around nonchalantly, and finally his gaze stopped on a white rose beside Gu Heng's desk.
There are a lot of flowers in the garden of the Gu Mansion, all of which were planted by Wen Yan herself, she likes the elegance and nobility of the white rose, it is not as gorgeous as the red rose, it is flamboyant, and it burns and blooms like fire, but it has its own unique taste. But Gu Heng didn't like this flower, he didn't even look at it, but he didn't expect that there was a pot in the office, Wen Yan looked at the lush green leaves, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, he probably thought that this flower could prevent radiation?
"Well, you can rest at home."
Gu Heng's words meant to end the call, Wen Yan's gaze was withdrawn, and his slightly tense body subconsciously relaxed, it seems that Yan Yan will not come to Gu Mansion today, she will probably be much more relaxed.
She didn't know what Yan Ran said, but she saw Gu Heng suddenly look up at her, and said one word simply: "Okay." ”
Her body that had just relaxed unconsciously began to tense, her hands hung at her sides, waiting for Gu Heng to put down the phone, she didn't ask anything, she knew that Gu Heng must have something to say to her.
Gu Heng casually put the phone on the table, and looked at Wen Yan expressionlessly: "Go to Yanran's house, help her clean up her things, and cook dinner for her by the way."
Wen Yan's cold face did not have a trace of disgust and rejection, but there was some hesitation between his words: "But SG's plan is ......"
Gu Heng got up from the sofa and said as a matter of course: "Come back and do it again." ”
Wen Yan pursed his lips, how much investment will be spent on this project of SG, how much time and energy will be required to plan the case, Gu Heng knows it in his heart, but he can confidently assign her to do something inconsequential, it seems that in his heart, Yan Yan is much more important than cooperation with SG, as long as a phone call, he can do a good job for her.
After a moment of silence, Wen Yan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Then I'm out." Seeing that Gu Heng didn't give any more orders next, Wen Yan spoke.
Gu Heng didn't speak.
Wen Yan acquiesced, so he bowed slightly, and then turned around.
"Wen Yan."
She paused, turned around slowly, and looked at Gu Heng who suddenly stopped her with some puzzlement, his tall figure stood in front of her, completely covering the sunlight shining on her from the outside, his expression was very blurry under the backlight, and he could vaguely see his cold and hard silhouette with a sense of distance, a pair of sword eyebrows raised slightly, it seemed to be provocative, mocking, and with inexplicable anger, he walked over step by step.
The air was filled with ambiguous and oppressive strange smells, and the sense of urgency spread little by little, Gu Heng stopped half a step away from Wen Yan, and at that distance, it was almost close to her face, and every subtle expression on her face could be clearly seen.
"If you don't like it, you can not go." Gu Heng looked at Wen Yan's eyes and said a little abruptly.
Wen Yan didn't speak. Her face was so pale that it was abnormal, her thin lips were pursed, and her eye sockets were a little sunken, showing that her master was really overworked and physically and mentally exhausted, but she was stubborn, refusing to let anyone see this, and not letting anyone care or feel distressed, even if she was tired, she knew it, even if she was weak, she was weak in a place that others could not see. She doesn't need to care, she doesn't need sympathy, these things are just luxuries for her, once a person asks too much, they will eventually become useless burdens and cruelly drag you down.
Gu Heng looked at her, her calm and sharp eyes took away their sharpness, became delicate and soft, and there was even a longing in her eyes waiting for her answer, but she didn't say a word, the whole person seemed to be crumpled and scattered in the air, covering the sky with only untouchable dust. Her eyes were a little ethereal, as if she was carefully chewing on the meaning of this sentence, and there was some cold mockery, as if this qiē should be taken for granted, and his words were inexplicable.
She didn't speak, and she didn't have any expression, but her eyes were so dull, and her expressionless face was the most hurtful.
Gu Heng suddenly felt that her current appearance was really ridiculous, even stupid, sure enough, what he said and did, she was indifferent, she didn't need to speak, she didn't need to express it clearly in words, her eyes were enough to explain it, she felt that he was ridiculous, like a clown jumping off the beam.
There was an urge to strangle her to death, but he couldn't.
Gu Heng turned around suddenly, as if he didn't want to look at her anymore, and he didn't want to say a word to her again, the sun reflected on his slightly cold and hard face, a little scorching.
Wen Yan raised his eyes, motionless looking at the back of the silent standing in front of the window, he stood straight in the sun, his hands naturally hung at his sides, his fists clenched tightly, the bone joints were sharp and abruptly raised, and the sections were sharp and pale, as if the entire window in front of him would be shattered with a punch.
Time seemed to stand still, the atmosphere was awkwardly blended with crampedness and coldness, Wen Yan just stood firmly, looking at him almost with an incomprehensible and presumptuous gaze, as if staring at an unknowable future.
Yes, her life is already illusory and can't be grasped, Gu Heng is her life-saving straw, the last ray of life for her already decadent and decaying soul, so she is reluctant to let go if she catches it, but she forgets it, her life-saving straw, her life-saving life, no matter how valuable her life is that is about to collapse, but in his eyes, she is just a dusty crystal lamp, or a kite that has broken the string, it makes no difference.
There was a deathly silence, except for the breathing of two people. After a long time, Gu Heng raised his head slightly, Ling Rui's eyes passed through the intersection of time and space, and looked in one direction fixedly, ignoring the slight stinging caused by the crazy burning of the sun in his somewhat sour eyes, he stubbornly raised his gaze and said two words coldly: "Go out." ”
After waiting for a long time, Gu Heng didn't look back, but he didn't hear Wen Yan's footsteps ring behind him, subconsciously, his clenched fist slowly loosened, and he turned his head slightly to look, but he didn't see her shadow in the afterglow, so he slowly turned around.
The office was empty, Wen Yan walked out at some point, but there was no sound at all, Gu Heng looked at the tightly closed door with some distraction, feeling as if his heart was suddenly shrouded in a damp mist, and he couldn't see the qiqi in front of him clearly, and he couldn't see himself clearly.
