Chapter 156: On foot
Chapter 156 Hiking
Gu Xinning also felt strange, the only thing she could think of might be an invitation sent by Tao Yiqing, and asked, "Was it sent by Mrs. Tao?"
"Yes, there's a card in there. 』【Big ◇ Book ◇ Bag ◇ Small ◇ Say ◇ Net. The servant raised the gift and pointed to the box containing the gift.
Tao Yumei took out the card, glanced at it and handed it to Gu Xinning, her tone was not as smooth as usual, and asked, "Have you seen Tao Yiqing?"
Sure enough, it was Tao Yiqing's handwriting, Gu Xinning didn't expect such a play, so she had to admit: "Well, I saw it yesterday, when the people from the planning department went to see her, they didn't even open the text of the event, I think they were probably thinking about the identity issue, so I went to see her myself." ”
Gu Xinning chuckled: "The idea of a person with status is that it is unpredictable, if Auntie wants to go to the wedding scene, Auntie will go." ”
Tao Yumei was surprised by Gu Xinning's generosity, but it was clearly written that Gu Xinning was invited, and she was going to go, and the inviter would be unhappy. Tao Yumei pondered for a moment: "The person on the invitation letter is you, you have to go, just take me with you when the time comes, I will be afraid that you will have problems on such an important occasion." ”
Gu Xinning was still smiling, and put away the invitation card without caring at all, and acquiesced in the matter of taking Tao Yumei with her.
Uncle Liu took Gu Xinyan to pick up Tang Yin first, and then they would go to the banquet together, while Gu Xinning drove over by herself.
Yao Lingling's banquet, Gu Xinning didn't have much interest, so she didn't want to rush over early, it seemed that she was very deliberate, and she calculated the time before going out.
It is past the rush hour for getting off work, and the vehicles on the road are not crowded, so there is no problem in arriving on time.
However, when Gu Xinning arrived at the destination, he realized that he was really late.
The Yao family's banquet this time was not held in the main house, but in the villa. The Yao family's villa is on the top of a small hill on the outskirts of the city, and the trees on the hill are already very tall. From the top of the hill to the bottom of the mountain, there is a wide road stretching out, but both sides are now full of guests' cars, many of which are well-branded luxury cars.
Many waiters in crisp white suits watched around the vehicle, directing the parking position of the vehicle, and also helping guests park if necessary.
What gave Gu Xinning a headache was that she came late, and the car had already stopped in two long rows, and she could only stop at the end, and then slowly walked up until she reached the top of the mountain.
I really don't know what the people of the Yao family think, and as soon as they come, they will ask people to climb.
However, this also indirectly indicates that there are many people who come to the banquet this time.
After what happened last time, the strength of the Yao family is not as good as before, and the relationship between many people who were originally good friends with the Yao family has gradually faded, but now the attitude of the ancient family has improved, and there is a trend of warming.
But so many people were still quite unexpected by Gu Xinning.
The time that was originally calculated, but now that you have to go up, you can't get there on time.
But it doesn't matter much, she's not the main character.
Gu Xinning received a call from Tang Yin when she was still on the road, and they had already arrived at that time.
Although the road is long, the slope is not too steep, and the lights on the side of the road are very bright, which seems to be warm lights, and you will not feel unbearable cold when walking on the road.
When Gu Xinning walked, the banquet was already lively, the lights were bright, and the guests wearing various colors of clothes were walking back and forth, and they seemed to be able to smell a faint fragrance.
Taking off his coat and handing it to the waiter who was guarding the side, Gu Xinning subconsciously went to find Gu Xinyan's location.
"Sister Gu, you're finally here." Yao Yuli has been looking forward to Gu Xinning for a long time, and now Gu Xinning is the strength she can rely on, and Gu Xinning has put Gu Xinning first in everything.
Gu Xinning saw Yao Yuli walking briskly towards her, showed a smile, and when she approached, she asked, "Xinyan, are they here?"
"They arrived early." Yao Yuli said in a chattering voice, "There is also the sister Tang Yin who came with Xin Yan, I heard Xin Yan say that she is a friend of Sister Gu." ”
"Well, it's a classmate and a friend." Gu Xinning nodded, "But why didn't I see the two of them?"
"They're upstairs." Yao Yuli said with a smile, "A few of us are playing small games, and I came to wait for you downstairs on purpose." ”
"Oh, as the host, you don't care about the guests." Gu Xinning said this, but in action, she motioned for Yao Yuli to take her up.
"Today is my sister's home field, so she'll be there." Yao Yuli Nunu mouthed and signaled the direction in which Yao Lingling was.
Gu Xinning looked in the direction and saw Yao Lingling and Cheng Hang standing together, the two of them were like golden boys and girls, and the two of them were wearing couple clothes.
Cheng Hang's eyes fell on Gu Xinning's body, and when his eyes met, he hurriedly turned around, and subconsciously fell two steps behind Yao Lingling.
Gu Xinning chuckled, what Cheng Hang said before was still in his ears, and now it seems that the relationship between the two is still so close. Gu Xinning followed Yao Yuli upstairs.
"Mr. Gu." After only a few steps, someone stopped Gu Xinning.
Gu Xinning looked at the person who squeezed to her side in astonishment, it was a middle-aged man in his forties, with slightly bald hair and a big belly, only slightly taller than Gu Xinning, Gu Xinning looked at Yao Yuli, and wanted her to introduce who this person was, Gu Xinning didn't know him.
Without waiting for Yao Yuli's introduction, the middle-aged man took the initiative to say: "Mr. Gu is busy, he shouldn't have a chance to meet me, this is my business card, I hope Mr. Gu can give me a little time." ”
Yao Yuli couldn't open her mouth to introduce it now, so she had to lower her voice and say in Gu Xinning's ear: "Sister Gu, he is the boss of Liangcheng Weekend. ”
Gu Xinning had a bottom in her heart, took the business card handed to her by the middle-aged man, and glanced at the name on it, Xie Zhongguo, it is a very righteous name, but unfortunately I am just the opposite.
"I think I know why Mr. Xie is looking for me." Gu Xinning said lightly, "The matter in the morning has been handed over to the company's department in charge of this kind of legal affairs, and I think I will contact your company soon." ”
The people from the Weekend News tried many ways to find Gu Xinning, and they wanted Gu Xinning to let go, but Gu Xinning had already cut off the contact with the Weekend News, but he didn't expect that the people from the Weekend News would also be invited by the Yao family.
"I'm sorry." Xie Zhongguo hurriedly apologized, the opportunity was rare, he couldn't let it go, and hurriedly said, "I apologize to Mr. Gu for the mistakes we made, the matter has not caused irreparable mistakes, can Mr. Gu give us a chance." Xie Zhongguo rubbed his hands and looked at Gu Xinning with blank eyes.
"I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place." Gu Xinning said coldly, "When your newspaper released this fake news, it denied the Gu family based on speculation alone, if the poster was not prepared in time to be announced, who would have made up for the Gu family's bearance" Gu Xinning didn't mean to change his mind at all, he didn't want to be entangled anymore, so he turned around and walked in the direction he was going to go just now.
Xie Zhongguo was at a loss, he wanted to hold Gu Xinning but didn't dare, followed behind and said nervously: "How can Mr. Gu be willing to forgive, as long as it is not made public, we can solve it privately, no matter what kind of request Mr. Gu has, we will try our best to meet it." ”
"Not necessarily." Gu Xinning snorted coldly, "Let's wait for a fair decision." ”
Xie Zhongguo couldn't help but be in a hurry, because his newspaper could only maintain its publication on weekends, and if it was affected by this incident, the newspaper office might have to close its doors. "Is Mr. Gu going to drive people to a dead end?" Xie Zhongguo said without hesitation.
Gu Xinning stood still, turned his head and looked at Xie Zhongguo coldly: "You are threatening me President Xie, it is you who are causing trouble, so you must have the consciousness of bearing the consequences." If you do a profession of journalism, but in order to break the news, you should take responsibility for ignoring the facts and doing something wrong, don't even have this confidence. ”
Being taught a lesson by Gu Xinning, who was decades younger, Xie Zhongguo felt that he couldn't hold his face, he felt that he had groveled to say so much and apologized, Gu Xinning should at least make some concessions.
"Uncle Xie, today is my sister's banquet, let's talk about the work later" Yao Yuli saw that the relationship had a tense tendency, and was busy saving the scene.
Gu Xinning frowned slightly when she heard Yao Yuli's address to Xie Zhongguo.
With Yao Yuli standing between Xie Zhongguo and Gu Xinning, Gu Xinning was able to get out and go upstairs.
After distancing himself from Xie Zhongguo, Gu Xinning asked softly, "What is the relationship between Xie Zhongguo and the Yao family?"
"Uncle Xie is my father's classmate, and he often came to my house when he was a child." Yao Yuli explained that the Yao family did not deliberately find someone from the weekend newspaper, but it was indeed an unavoidable relationship, and the invitation had been given to Xie Zhongguo many days ago, and she did not expect such a thing to happen suddenly.
Gu Xinning nodded, and the dissatisfaction in his heart calmed down a little.
There are also a lot of people upstairs, and it has become a small party, gathered in the living room, chatting in twos and threes, and there is a table of people playing cards, all of whom are from the younger generation, most of whom are playing well with Yao Yuli.
Tang Yin sat next to her alone, but she was not far from Gu Xinyan, and her eyes never left Gu Xinyan, even if Gu Xinning came in, it didn't affect her.
Gu Xinyan is having fun with others, her outfit and the smile on her face are not affected by the previous rumors at all, and others feel bored if they talk too much, no matter what, Gu Xinyan's family background is really a fact.
Gu Xinning didn't disturb Gu Xinyan, and went straight to Tang Yin's side, and as soon as she sat down, she heard Tang Yin say, "You're late." ”
"Counting the time, I didn't expect to walk such a long way." Gu Xinning also said helplessly.
"Wait a minute, leave early, wait for the guests to leave, the vehicle has also driven away, it is still a bit dangerous when going down the mountain." Tang Yin lowered his voice.
Others don't know her intentions for coming, but she does.
Gu Xinning nodded in agreement: "I'm right, I'll have to let Xinyan leave early." Fortunately, she played well with Yao Yuli, not Yao Lingling. "There should be security guards on the road, so you don't have to worry too much." Tang Yin glanced at Gu Xinning, she was only worried about Gu Xinyan, she didn't worry about herself at all, but thinking about it, there wouldn't be too much danger, after all, the road was not empty. Gu Xinning smiled and nodded
