Chapter 64: A knife hanging over his head
Due to the cold weather and snow, most of the people in the company were late. Gu Shi'an entered the company three minutes before he was late, and the company was very deserted, and there were not many people.
Xiao Wang, who used to come early, was also late, Gu Shi'an made coffee and turned on the computer, and she hurriedly entered the office.
Seeing Gu Shi'an, she wailed that this month's full attendance had been soaked again, and at the same time went to pick up a cup of hot water and drank it.
She was very cold, her hat, scarf and gloves were thickened, and her whole person was dressed round like a ball.
After drinking a glass of water and feeling the heating in the office, she took off her hat and gloves, and then took a document and handed it to Gu Shi'an, these are customers who need Gu Shi'an to call back.
Gu Shi'an glanced at it and said, "I have to go out at noon later, and if there is anything later, it will be postponed until tomorrow." ”
The customer introduced by Qin Tang, she called yesterday. But it wasn't her, it was her assistant. Only one sentence was given, and Manager Xu went to a meeting. When I came back later, I hung up the phone.
Calling back is just a polite word, she is not a big person, how can someone call her back. It's not a good idea to call again, and the best thing to do is to take a run.
Xiao Wang nodded in response.
At ten o'clock, Gu Shi'an looked at the time, took out the business card given by Qin Tang to study it, and then went out.
Manager Xu's company is located in a remote area, and it takes two buses to get there. It's a traffic jam everywhere. Gu Shi'an thought about it in his heart and took a taxi.
Listening to Qin Tang's tone, Manager Xu was not easy to get along with. She goes through work hours, and she may not see her if she is busy. She went when she was about to have lunch, and Manager Xu was also going to have lunch, so he was happy to meet her.
It's not rush hour, and the road isn't very congested. But the location is relatively remote, and it was already half past eleven when Gu Shi'an arrived at the ground.
Manager Xu's company office is a low-rise building, there is no heating in winter, and the air conditioning is not turned on, and the door is cold and cold.
Although the environment is not good, the staff is well organized. Until lunchtime, there was no commotion.
Gu Shi'an didn't call again, and went directly to the front desk.
The front desk was not surprised at all when she heard that she wanted to see Manager Xu, and asked her to wait a while before calling. I didn't know what she said, so she smiled and said after hanging up the phone: "I'm sorry Miss Gu, Manager Xu is in a meeting and has no time for the time being." ”
Gu Shi'an smiled at this time, nodded, and said, "Manager Xu is busy, huh...... Can I sit and wait over there? Manager Xu is going to come down for dinner later, right? ”
The front desk probably didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned, the smile on her face stiffened, and then said, "Please." It's just that Manager Xu often forgets time when he's busy, and he may not have time when he waits. ”
This is telling Gu Shi'an. Even if you wait, you may not see anyone.
Gu Shi'an was not discouraged at all, nodded, and said, "Thank you, please wait for Manager Xu to come down and call me." ”
She hadn't met anyone, she didn't know anyone.
The front desk nodded perfunctorily. Gu Shi'an walked to the side and sat down on the cold wooden chair.
Although there is no wind and snow inside, it is not much warmer than outside. Gu Shi'an sat and moved his hands and feet from time to time. She sat not far from the door, in and out, and she couldn't help but shiver every time she opened the door and the cold wind poured in.
At twelve o'clock, the employees of the company began to go out for lunch. But there was no figure of Manager Xu. Gu Shi'an looked at the stairs from time to time, and looked at the time from time to time.
In the end, even the front desk that went to eat at the end came back, and I didn't see Manager Xu.
The weather was so cold, the front desk probably didn't expect Gu Shi'an to sit for so long, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. He poured her a cup of hot water and said, "Drink some water, don't catch a cold in the cold." ”
Gu Shi'an hurriedly said thank you and took the water.
The girl sighed and said, "Manager Xu is a busy person, and she may not see you when she comes down when you wait here." I heard that she was going to the airport to pick up clients this afternoon. ”
As she spoke, she looked at the time.
Gu Shi'an smiled at this time, and said seriously: "You can talk on the way to the airport." ”
She's so persistent that the front desk can't find anything to say. Throwing a sympathetic look at her, she went back to her place.
It's not strange that she's sitting here on such a cold day.
Gu Shi'an didn't feel pitiful, when she followed Peng Xue before, Peng Xue was desperate, and she arranged to wait for the manager of a certain company downstairs for a week. I also braved the heavy rain to chase a customer who was busy on a business trip, and when I came back, I was drenched in the rain because the car broke down.
Looking back now, those days seem to be inexhaustible. She never felt tired.
Probably because there is no way back, so there is only one way forward.
Gu Shi'an was in a slight trance, and at this moment, the front desk stood up and shouted loudly: "Manager Xu, are you going out?" ”
She's like this. Obviously reminding Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an immediately stood up, gave a grateful look to the little girl at the front desk, and walked towards Manager Xu.
Mr. Xu is in his forties and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. A face that is serious and old-fashioned. She should be followed by her assistant, twenty-four or five years old.
When Gu Shi'an arrived at her, he immediately introduced: "Hello Manager Xu, I am Gu Shi'an from Chenli. She said as she respectfully handed over the business card with both hands.
was blocked in the way, Manager Xu's face was impatient, he glanced back at the assistant, and said, "How did you do it?" Can anyone join the company? ”
She didn't give any face, and she didn't reach out to pick up the business card handed over by Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an was embarrassed. The assistant coughed lightly and said, "Miss Gu called yesterday, I told you that you should have forgotten." Probably felt that it was not easy for Gu Shi'an to wait all morning, and she added: "She came when you were in a meeting, and I didn't bother you because you have been busy." ”
Xu Wei's face did not loosen in any way because of the assistant's words, glanced at Gu Shi'an, and said lightly: "My schedule today is full, you have waited for two hours, and I will give you five minutes now." ”
Although she didn't directly refuse, she gave five minutes of time, which was nothing to talk about at all.
Gu Shi'an politely said thank you, and hurriedly said, "I know that you are busy, and I dare not delay your time." I'll talk with you in the car. ”
She's like a dogskin plaster.
Xu Wei glanced at her, didn't speak, and left directly.
Gu Shi'an didn't know what she meant, but fortunately, the assistant motioned for her to follow, and she followed quickly.
Gu Shi'an did not waste time, and went directly to the topic as soon as he got in the car. and gave the information he prepared to Xu Wei.
Xu Wei just flipped through it casually and threw it to her, and said coldly: "I don't want to see you, there are many people in our company, what I need is a reasonable decoration plan that can make use of the space as much as possible." After a slight pause, she glanced at Gu Shi'an with a smile, and then continued: "Since you came to the door, you should know that I am a well-known iron rooster who is not good at talking, my decoration budget is not high, and besides, I don't worry about the workers, I need you to supervise the whole process." Don't cut corners for me. Of course, the premise of this is that you have to come up with a reasonable design solution. ”
It is almost impossible to supervise the whole process. Besides, her budget is not high. This is obviously embarrassing Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an did not hesitate, and immediately said: "I will go back and drive out the design plan overnight, and strive to show you in the shortest possible time." ”
Xu Wei originally wanted to embarrass her, but she didn't expect her to go down the slope. Her face was a little unsightly, but it was not easy to regret what she said, so she hummed lightly and said to the driver in front, "Stop." ”
This is to drive Gu Shi'an to get out of the car, Gu Shi'an is knowledgeable, he packed up his things in a hurry, and asked, "Can I go to the scene to have a look?" ”
Xu Wei's face was even worse, and he called Assistant Cao.
The car had stopped, and Assistant Cao, who was in front, said to Gu Shi'an: "I'll send you the drawings later." ”
It's okay if you can't go to the scene to see the drawings, Gu Shi'an thanked him, and politely said goodbye to Xu Wei, so he stepped aside.
Xu Weisao didn't glance at her, and the car quickly disappeared.
Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief now, and the whole person became relaxed. When I looked around, I realized that it was far from the city, so I stopped the car on the side of the road and rushed back to the company. and called Xiao Wang, I have to stay and work overtime tonight.
Assistant Cao was better at talking than Manager Xu, and Gu Shi'an sent the drawings over before he arrived at the company. Gu Shi'an looked at it.
When she returned to the company, it was already past three o'clock, almost four o'clock, and before she entered the office, she saw Luo Yun coming in from outside with a bag.
Gu Shi'an thought that she had just come back from outside, but who knew that Xiao Wang beside her lowered his voice and hummed: "What a big shelf, I only came to the company at this time." ”
There is Mr. Qu behind him, and this shelf is naturally big.
Since returning from the cocktail party that night. Xiao Wang's Ruyi Langjun was not found, no matter how you look at Luo Yun, it is unpleasant. From time to time, the mouth is about to vent.
Gu Shi'an couldn't help her, so he reluctantly said a lot of words and went into the office.
Gu Shi'an had to work overtime at night, so he called the old lady early, saying that he would go back late tonight and didn't have to wait for her to go home.
In the past, I always felt that the company was empty, but now I feel much more at ease staying in the company.
She stood by the window after making the phone call and stayed for a while before returning to the office.
Xiao Wang ordered takeout early and was placing an order, and when he saw her come back, he asked her what she wanted to eat.
Gu Shi'an is not picky, so he said that he can eat anything. Xiao Wang ordered two claypot rice at this time.
Gu Shi'an didn't care about her and got busy with work.
The takeaway came late on a snowy day, and Xiao Wang complained a few times that the takeaway brother was late.
Gu Shi'an was only halfway through his meal when his mobile phone rang. At this time, she didn't know who it was, so she took out her mobile phone. only to find out that the phone turned out to be Gu Soda.
She called her, which was a rare thing. Gu Shi'an didn't want to answer it, and he was worried that something was wrong with the old lady, so he picked up the phone and fed it.
Most of the Gu family members are thick-faced, and they have always been incompatible, but Gu Su is like a little sheep at this time, and he said, "Cousin." It's me. ”
The last time she said this, she was in trouble when she was in school, and she wanted Gu Shi'an to be hacked for her. I don't know what it was this time.
Gu Shi'an didn't bother to ask her anything, and immediately hung up the phone.
Gu Su on the other end of the phone seemed to have guessed that she would hang up the phone, and immediately said, "Grandma asked me to ask when you will come back?" ”
This question was a little inexplicable, and she did not call and said that she wanted to go back. I don't know if it was really the old lady who asked her to make the call or if she made it herself.
But she didn't have time these days, so she replied, "It's been busy all this time." ”
Gu Su on the other end of the phone stopped talking now, and it was a few seconds apart. Only then did he say in a hurry: "My brother asked you if you can ask your brother-in-law out for dinner tonight." ”
Gu Su's brother Gu Qian, that is, Gu Shi'an's cousin, has always been unprofessional. But there are a lot of brains. Most of what Gu Su did was indispensable for him to give advice behind his back.
He has always been disdainful of Gu Shi'an, and he also knows that the relationship between Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao is not good. Now let her ask Chen Xiao out for dinner, and she didn't have to think about it to know that something must be wrong.
Gu Shi'an didn't want to get involved in his messy things, and. Even if she opened her mouth, Chen Xiao might not come out.
She didn't think about it and said, "I'm working overtime tonight, and I'm not available." ”
If it was normal, Gu Su would definitely sarcastically ask her if she couldn't make an appointment. But not today, she was anxious on the phone, gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Shi'an, why are you so ruthless?" Do you miss my brother......"
Before she finished speaking, the phone was snatched up, and Gu Qianqian said impatiently: "Do you want to ask him out?" ”
There was a hint of menace in his tone.
It is estimated that there are few people who ask for people to be as arrogant as them. Gu Shi'an said lightly: "I'm not free." ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't care how angry the other side was, and hung up the phone directly.
Gu Su and Gu Qian, who are so easy to give up, immediately called again. Gu Shi'an didn't answer this time, turned the phone to silent, and didn't care how they called.
The phone screen was on for so long, and it finally went out completely. Gu Shi'an buried himself in work and never looked at his phone again.
She worked overtime until more than ten o'clock, and then returned to the old house.
The old mansion was quiet, and she looked at the shoes at the entrance, only to find that Chen Xiao had not returned.
Her tense nerves loosened slightly, and she went upstairs gently, and then changed her clothes and washed. She had so much on her mind that she fell asleep not long after she collapsed in bed.
As soon as I fell asleep in a daze, the lights in the room came on. Gu Shi'an opened his eyes and met Chen Xiao's face that was very close.
He was like a ghost, and he came quietly. Gu Shi'an was startled, but he couldn't hold back and didn't move.
Chen Xiao stretched out his hand and loosened the tie around his neck, Jun showed an unfathomable smile on his face, looked at Gu Shi'an from above with one hand, and said, "My brother-in-law is looking for me today." ”
After he finished speaking, he lazily leaned over to the head of the bed.
Gu Shi'an didn't react for a while, but when he reacted, he realized that the brother-in-law he said should be Gu Qian.
Her heart thumped.
Chen Xiao lazily added: "He invited me to drink." ”
What he said was quite meaningful.
Gu Shi'an had a bad premonition in his heart. She subconsciously clenched her fingers and didn't speak.
Chen Xiao is deliberate. He has been married to her for more than a year, and if he really admitted Gu Qian's brother-in-law, Gu Qian would not have called her and asked her to ask him out.
Her mind was a little messy, and before she could figure out a clue, Chen Xiaoshu approached her again and said, "Aren't you curious, what is he looking for me for?" ”
Chen Xiao has always been a person who will not do superfluous things. He met Gu Qian, probably before he met Gu Qian, and he knew about it. What did he see him for?
Gu Shi'an's fingers shrunk tightly, closed his eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "It's none of my business." ”
Chen Xiao sighed and said, "No wonder my brother-in-law said that you are ruthless, it is true." ”
I thought he was going to say something, but he didn't say anything more after he said it.
The more he was like this, the more unstable Gu Shi'an's heart became. Gu Qian's ability to cause trouble, she has seen it a long time ago.
Most of the troubles he caused were settled by her second uncle behind his back. He found Chen Xiao this time, which means that her second uncle didn't know about it.
This shows that this matter is unsightly.
Gu Shi'an's heart was like a cat scratching, forcibly restraining himself from moving. She still couldn't hold back in the end, and asked, "What is he looking for you?" ”
Chen Xiao originally closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes. He glanced at Gu Shi'an with a smile and did not speak.
He is like this, Gu Shi'an originally thought that he would not say it. But there was a pause. Chen Xiao said lazily: "It's not a big deal, it's just to borrow money from me." ”
His tone was casual, as if it wasn't worth taking to heart.
Gu Shi'an's nerves tensed all of a sudden. Gu Qian will find Chen Xiao, so the money borrowed will definitely not be a small amount.
Her instincts told her that it would never be as simple as borrowing money.
Her heart was restless, and she tried to calm herself down, and asked, "How much money did he ask you to borrow?" ”
Chen Xiao's face suddenly approached Gu Shi'an. Don't smile and say, "Didn't you say it's none of your business?" What do you ask so much? ”
Gu Shi'an looked away, and said lightly in a slightly hoarse voice: "Curious." ”
Chen Xiao chuckled at this time, got up and went to the bathroom to wash.
He seemed to be in an excellent mood, Gu Shi'an closed his eyes, and his body froze and did not move. It's a mess in my head.
Gu Qian's borrowing money from Chen Xiao, judging from Chen Xiao's way just now, she was sure that it was definitely more than just borrowing money.
She was irritable, inexplicably feeling this thing. It's like a knife hanging over your head that will fall at any moment.
Gu Shi'an tried hard to calm himself down, and just lay down stiffly. I plan to wait for Chen Xiao to come out and ask again.
I don't know if she was in a hurry or something, time passed very slowly, and it took a long time for the bathroom door to open.
Her tense body relaxed slightly, but Chen Xiao didn't go to bed for a long time.
Finally waited for him to get into bed, he reached out and turned off the light, turned his back on Gu Shi'an and closed his eyes.
Gu Shi'an naturally knew that he was not going to talk about anything, so she had to swallow the words into her stomach.
She couldn't fall asleep for a long time, but Chen Xiao, who had whetted her appetite, quickly let out an even breathing sound.
Gu Shi'an didn't fall asleep in a daze until the second half of the night, and the next day she went out without even eating breakfast.
In the car, she called Gu Su, but Gu Su's mobile phone was turned off. She had no choice but to give up.
She was still not at ease in the end, and she called Gu Su again during lunch at lunch. This time, it was opened, but no one answered.
Gu Shi'an fought a second time.
This time, Gu Su quickly picked up the phone and sneered. Said: "Aren't you very busy? What are you calling again? ”
There was no hidden sarcasm in her tone.
Gu Shi'an didn't bother to go around the bend with her, so he asked directly, "What did your brother do with Chen Xiao last night?" ”
Gu Su snorted twice on the other side of the phone and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Gu Shi'an was annoyed, and said coldly: "What kind of good kind do you think Chen Xiao is?" I just wanted to warn you, don't ...... then."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Su over there, she laughed, and said slowly: "I said cousin, are you jealous?" My brother-in-law called me last night to make an appointment, you can't be jealous, right? ”
Gu Su's tone was smug and showing off.
Gu Shi'an really didn't expect that it was Chen Xiao who she had made an appointment last night, she took a deep breath to calm herself down, and said indifferently: "I just want to remind you ......"
Gu Su was impatient, and immediately said, "Thank you, my brother will be measured in his own affairs." I won't bother you as a busy man. ”
She hung up the phone straight away.
Gu Shi'an didn't call again, threw the phone aside, and reached out to press his eyebrows. Calm yourself down.
Gu Su didn't want to say what was the matter, but sneered at her, which proved that she must be tired.
She was irritable and it took a while for her to calm down. After slowly finishing the unfinished meal, I got up and went to make coffee.
Her heart was uneasy, and when she came back from making coffee, she called her grandmother. Old Mrs. Gu is the same as usual, she shouldn't know anything. Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief and threw the matter aside.
