Chapter 122: The Tao is an Old Man
"Xiao Gu. What are you kidding? We can't say we can't go or not. This time I'm going to the capital to talk about business. If only this one had been negotiated. This year's year-end benefits are definitely indispensable. As a secretary, if you don't go, do you want me to find someone else?" The general manager swiped a few times as he spoke, and signed his name on a document.
"Okay then." Gu Xiyan smiled. But it's a bit far-fetched.
"Xiao Gu. I know a little bit about you. Lived for so many years. I just think so. Some things are not just to be avoided. There are times when you take things too seriously. In fact, it may not be as important as you think. I don't want to say too much either. It's up to you to see what to do." The general manager said and handed the signed document to Gu Xiyan.
"General Manager. Thank you." Gu Xiyan took the document. Smiled gracefully.
"Okay, little girl. Let's go down." Watching Gu Xiyan close the door of the general manager's office. The general manager, who is nearly 40 years old, shook his head amusefully, and the young people of today are troubled by these feelings and loves all day long. It's like he was back then. Even getting married is up to the parents.
The next morning, Gu Xiyan really stepped on a flight to the capital. And before that, she had already asked the people in the pet store to help take care of Zhezhe for a while. Because she also doesn't know exactly how many days she will be on a business trip.
Just when I see a customer who is talking to Yew Wah about business. Gu Xiyan really had to sigh at the magic of fate. On the evening of the trip to the capital, the contract was finalized. After that, the two parties went to a hotel to celebrate.
Gu Xiyan doesn't know how to drink. It's basically the kind of three-cup pour-over type. During the banquet, the general manager also protected her. Didn't dare to let her drink too much. After all, Gu Xiyan is also the wife of the president of a large enterprise. He can't make a fuss. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the president who protects his wife will trouble them.
"General Manager. You drink. I'll go out and blow the wind." I saw that everyone was drunk. Gu Xiyan whispered a report to the general manager.
"Xiao Gu. Don't go for too long. Come back early." The general manager let her leave after a word of advice.
After Gu Xiyan left. The other man followed him out.
Standing at the window at the end of the corridor outside the private room, the wind is blowing. Gu Xiyan didn't feel a chill hit her heart after a while. Tighten your clothes. She turned around and went back.
Only to turn around. Gu Xiyan saw the man who was laughing and scolding with her in the past, and now his face was hidden in the dark. I couldn't make out the look on his face.
"Little Yanzi." When he called out this title. Gu Xiyan was in a trance, and she felt like she was in a different world.
"Shao Yuan." Gu Xiyan pretended to pull her hair. I don't know how to face him.
"Xiao Yanzi. I still like it when you call me the way you used to." Shao Yuan seemed to laugh. But a little helpless and tired. Maybe he knew it in his heart. They. There's no going back to the past.
"Shao Yuan. Or Manager Shao. I'm going back. You...... Is there something wrong?" Gu Xiyan said and walked two steps before leaving the window.
"Xiao Yanzi. You know what. Photos of that time. I'm ......" Shao Yuan suddenly grabbed Gu Xiyan's arm. Somewhat flustered to explain.
"Shao Yuan. I know the photo was sent by you. I know that too." Gu Xiyan turned her head to look at Shao Yuan as she spoke. I guess I have something to do with you. It's just that. I don't understand why you're doing this to me. To be precise. What kind of grudge do you have with the merchant that you want to kidnap me like this?"
"Xiao Yanzi. You know it all." Shao Yuan's hand, which was originally holding Gu Xiyan, slid off her arm. His absence does not mean that he understands that denial has no point. will only let the little love left between the two be wiped out.
"yes. Got it all." The corners of Gu Xiyan's lips were a little bitter.
"Xiao Yanzi. I have a bitter enmity with the merchant. I don't regret taking revenge on the merchants. It's just that I regret agreeing to kidnap you." Seeing that Gu Xiyan was already leaving. Shao Yuan suddenly said loudly.
"Shao Yuan. From now on, we will not have any relationship with each other. If you hurt the people I care about again. Then we are destined to be enemies." After Gu Xiyan said these two sentences, she only felt that all the strength in her body was exhausted. I was in a daze and wanted to run back to the private room. But when he didn't run a few steps, he was hugged from behind by a warm body.
Shao Yuan put his head on Gu Xiyan's shoulder. It doesn't matter how much she resists. He was adamant that he wouldn't let her go." Xiao Yanzi. If you can. I really don't want to hurt you."
"But you've hurt me. Do you know. My baby. Before I could even look at him, he was gone. Do you know how much I look forward to having a child? I'm so eager for him to come. But in the end, I couldn't let him be born into this world in peace. My friend. My husband. They were all hurt by the kidnapping. If there had been no kidnapping. I could have stayed with my husband nicely. And Wei Zhe will not be shot. He can live in good health. And with a smile. She's such a cute girl. Do you know how painful it can be to be corroded by sulfuric acid? But just to save me. But she had to bear that pain. How don't you want to hurt. The damage has already been done." Gu Xiyan said and cried. Why. Why do you want to remind her of the pain of the day? She didn't want to remember these painful pasts anymore.
"Xiao Yanzi. I'm sorry. I'm only sorry for you. Send you a picture at that time. I just wanted to show you that your husband doesn't love you at all. I like you. I'll admit that my approach was a bit mean. But how could you be separated from that man? It's just that I didn't expect that the photo didn't create any estrangement between you husband and wife. As for the kidnapping, I didn't plan it. But I did participate in that incident. Xiao Yanzi. I know you hate me. But can you ignore me?" The more Shao Yuan spoke, the lower his voice became. Apparently he also knew that he was almost dreaming.
"Shao Yuan. The kidnapping is in the past. I don't know exactly what background is behind you. But you and I are destined to be friends again. I'm not going to denounce you. But there is no grace between us again. Let me go. I won't hate you. I would only choose to forget that I had ever been hurt by a friend. If we meet again in the future. We're just strangers." Gu Xiyan's voice was cold. Thin and indifferent.
Shao Yuan only buried his head more in the side of Gu Xiyan's neck. Xiao Yanzi. Why forget about me. I like you. I like it very much. Can't we continue to be friends?"
Shao Yuan's dying struggle was only exchanged for Gu Xiyan's cold voice: "Manager Shao. Please respect yourself."
When the two of them returned to the private room. The atmosphere in the private room is still warm. It's just that alcohol exposes human nature. At this point, many people are already crooked. Some people even burst a few foul words from time to time.
Gu Xiyan didn't know what to do when she saw such a scene. Silently walked back to the general manager's side. She sat peacefully. A non-contentious style.
It was Shao Yuan who opened his mouth to end this celebration banquet." General Manager Xu. I think this contract has also been signed. The wine is almost drunk. If you don't dislike it. I have prepared a place for you on the 8th floor of this hotel. Let's go back and rest early."
General Manager Xu naturally heard the meaning that Shao Yuan wanted to dissolve this party. After standing up and shaking Shao Yuan's hand. He beckoned a few of his men to leave.
Gu Xiyan quietly followed behind the general manager. Nor do they speak. Until you get out of the private room and reach the elevator. She vaguely said that she was going to find Wei Zhe.
General Manager Xu smiled and readily agreed. At the same time, I didn't forget to advise: "Xiao Gu. Be careful on the road. Give me a call when you get home so I don't have to worry."
"Yes. Thank you to the general manager." Gu Xiyan smiled gracefully.
When Gu Xiyan came out of the restaurant, she happened to meet Shao Yuan's people. Shao Yuan waved his hand and motioned for a few of his men to leave. He walked straight to Gu Xiyan's side.
Gu Xiyan wanted to pretend not to see him. Shao Yuan is unrelenting." Xiao Yanzi. Actually, if it wasn't you this time. This contract can't be signed so easily."
"What does Manager Shao mean by this?" Gu Xiyan frowned.
"Xiao Yanzi. How can you be so smart that you can't understand me." Shao Yuan put his hands in his pockets. He will follow Gu Xiyan wherever he goes.
"Manager Shao can't help but lift me up. I'm going home. Goodbye, Manager Shao." After Gu Xiyan figured it out, she just replied coldly.
"Go home. Which home to go back to." Shao Yuan suddenly grabbed Gu Xiyan's wrist.
"Which home does Manager Shao think I'm going back to. I didn't know I had so many homes." Gu Xiyan shook her hand. But he couldn't shake Shao Yuan's hand away. So her face was slightly more gloomy." Manager Shao. Please let me go. If it is seen by others, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact."
When Shao Yuan heard this, he suddenly took Gu Xiyan into his arms. Then he hugged her in the direction of the car.
"What do you want to do. Let me go. Otherwise, I'll cry for help." Gu Xiyan didn't cooperate at all. stunned to break free from Shao Yuan's confinement.
"You're in peace." Shao Yuan opened the car door and stuffed Gu Xiyan in. Then I fastened her seat belt again.
"What the hell do you want to do. I'm leaving." Gu Xiyan struggled to untie her seat belt.
"I just want to give you a ride. Why do you think so badly of me? I just like you. Why are you doing this to me? I know I'm sorry for you. But do you have to give me a life sentence like this?" Seeing Gu Xiyan's actions. Shao Yuan suddenly roared at her angrily.
Gu Xiyan's movements slowly stopped. Looking at the man standing outside the car door. She squirmed her lips. After all, he only said: "Shao Yuan......"
