Chapter 228: Trading

Chinese He asked openly. Watermark Advertising TestWatermark Advertising TestingBut in fact, he is clear, Chen Xiao does not know.

If Chen Xiaoken revealed a little bit to Gu Shi'an, she would not have been able to come to him at all.

"I don't know." Gu Shi'an replied. She had been waiting for the right time to ask, but she was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice

"What's going on on over there? I've been there, and it seems like a lot of people have changed over there. Assistant Sun stopped talking.

After a few tens of seconds, maybe longer, he said

"I'm sorry Miss Gu, it's an internal secret, I can't tell you." His answer was something that Gu Shi'an had already expected.

She was not surprised, raised a pair of clear eyes to look at Assistant Sun, and said

"I don't want to know those secrets, I just want you to tell me about Chen Xiao's situation now." The more she spoke to the back, the more astringent her voice became.

Fingers curled up unconsciously. Her shoulders were thin, and her body leaned forward slightly, begging humbly.

Her face was pale, and her lips were slightly chapped. Assistant Sun didn't even dare to look at her, and she was about to leave after solving it in three or two sentences.

Now he looked away and said

"Miss Gu, you should trust Mr. Chen." After a slight pause, he continued

"You go back first, and I'll let you know if there's any news in the future." As if to show that he was not perfunctory to Gu Shi'an, he took out a pen and paper, wrote a string of numbers and handed it to Gu Shi'an, and said

"The previous number is useless for the time being. You will call this directly in the future. Gu Shi'an took the paper and said thank you.

What Assistant Sun said was as if he hadn't said it. In the end, she still didn't hear anything.

But Assistant Sun said as if he knew what she was thinking

"Things are not as bad as you think, Mr. Chen already has a plan. Don't act rashly. This means that Gu Shi'an should not interfere, so as not to disrupt Chen Xiao's plan.

He said it without changing his face, and Gu Shi'an didn't even know if what he said was true or not. She was silent for a moment, then nodded.

When Gu Shi'an left, it was almost two o'clock, and the sky was overcast. It was as if there was going to be a snowstorm at any moment.

Her mind was a mess and she didn't drive home. Unconsciously drove the car to the entrance of the new house.

Knowing that with Chen Xiao's order, the security guard would not let her in. She didn't go in, so she parked outside and watched through the window at the cars coming in and out of the door.

I don't know how long it stopped, but she came back to her senses with the sound of her phone whining. flipped out the phone, and it was Gu Lan who called.

Gu Shi'an looked at it, picked up the phone, and called Sister Lobby. Gu Lan asked where she was, and then said

"I've paid my salary today, and I bought the dishes you like to eat, can you come over for dinner?" She asked cautiously, as if she was afraid that Gu Shi'an would not agree.

Since knowing the cause of Gu Shi'an's father's car accident, she has always felt guilty about her. Gu Shi'an knew Gu Lan's character too well, and squeezed out a smile to respond.

I looked at the time and asked if she was still in the company, and she went there to pick her up. Gu Lan said that she had been working overtime for half a month, and the department manager gave her half a day off, and she had gone home now, just let Gu Shi'an go over directly.

Gu Shi'an agreed, and asked Gu Lan if he needed to buy anything. Gu Lan replied that she had already bought everything she should have bought, so she didn't have to bring anything.

That being said, Gu Shi'an still went to buy fruit and some snacks and brought them over. Gu Lan lives in the house given by the old lady, and Gu Shi'an has been here.

I didn't call her, I parked the car and went straight up. The elevator went all the way up, Gu Shi'an didn't call her, but knocked on the door when he got to the door.

The door opened quickly, and the person who came out to open the door was not Gu Lan, but Cheng Xin. Gu Shi'an didn't expect her to be there, so he was slightly stunned, but he quickly called his aunt politely and politely.

Cheng Xin nodded as usual, and let her in. Neither of the two spoke, but Gu Lan, who was in the kitchen, heard the voice come out and said a little uncomfortably

"Sit down for a while, and you'll be fine for a while." She asked Gu Shi'an to come over for dinner, but she didn't say that Cheng Xin was also there.

She cautiously observed Gu Shi'an's expression, afraid that she would just leave. Gu Shi'an didn't leave, smiled and said hello, and sat down on the sofa.

Cheng Xin quickly went into the kitchen, not knowing what to say to Gu Lan, Gu Lan quickly wiped his hands and poured a cup of tea for Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an said now

"You're busy, don't worry about me." Gu Lan was still uncomfortable and said

"You're not going to be angry, are you?" Gu Shi'an naturally knew what she meant, shook his head and smiled slightly, and said

"No, it won't." Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and asked about Gu Shi'an's recent situation. The two didn't talk for long, and Cheng Xin asked Gu Lan to go over to get the dishes and chopsticks to set the meal, and Gu Lan quickly stood up.

Gu Shi'an also wanted to follow to help, but Gu Lan didn't allow it. She had to continue to sit on the couch. As soon as the meal was served, there was another knock on the door.

At this time, Gu Lan quickly went to open the door. It was Gu Chengping who came over, and his hair turned white in just this time.

Probably no one told him that Gu Shi'an was also there, and he was slightly stunned. Then he called Shi'an in a low voice.

Gu Shi'an was as usual, and politely called uncle. Gu Chengping's face was gloomy, squeezed out a smile, and sat down on the sofa.

Gu Lan and Cheng Xin were busy in the kitchen, and he and Gu Shi'an had nothing to say. I tried to open my mouth several times, but finally swallowed it back.

No one spoke, and the air in the living room seemed to freeze. Fortunately, Gu Lan brought the dishes to the table not long and came over to eat.

The meal was obviously well prepared, and Gu Lan even prepared red wine. She has always been active at the dinner table, everyone cooperated, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Although Gu Lan prepared red wine, everyone only drank a little. Only Gu Chengping drank more.

He didn't talk much, and even less after drinking. He didn't have the face to see Gu Shi'an, and after the meal, he had to get up and leave.

He drank the wine, and Cheng Xin was not at ease, so he asked Gu Lan to send him to the car first. She stayed. Gu Shi'an knew that she had something to say, and waited silently for her to speak.

Cheng Xin didn't make a detour, and said as soon as he opened his mouth

"Shi'an, I'm sorry. Your uncle has been feeling guilty all these years. She was slightly in a trance, paused, came back to her senses, and continued

Later, he was going to say it. I was the one who stopped him. If you want to blame, blame the aunt. Gu Chengping was the most solid-eyed of the brothers, and he was blinded by selfishness at that time and hid this matter.

But day after day of guilt, he couldn't bear it anymore. He was going to go to the old lady to make it clear and tell Gu Shi'an, but in the end she stopped him.

Because, she knows too well what kind of storm will be caused by saying this. No one wants to live a peaceful life.

The couple has been indifferent to Gu Shi'an over the years, in fact, because of guilt. The closer you get, the more you can't control those guilt.

In the end, I simply stayed away. Gu Shi'an didn't expect that she would stay to say this. She suddenly remembered Gu Chengping's full head of white hair.

To say that it is not strange at all, it is false. What's the use of being weird? Gu Shi'an lost his mind for a moment, then smiled reluctantly and said

"Auntie, I don't blame you, you also asked Uncle not to think too much. It's all in the past. Cheng Xin fell silent and said thank you in a low voice.

She didn't linger long and left quickly. Leaving Gu Shi'an alone in the house. Gu Lan came back soon, she first looked at Gu Shi'an's face, and saw that she couldn't see anything, so she went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

There weren't many bowls for four people to eat, and Gu Shi'an wouldn't let her help her. Gu Shi'an didn't sit alone in the living room, just helped a little on the side.

It was already dark outside, and when he finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Lan went to put hot water and let Gu Shi'an sleep here.

She didn't drink much, but she did drink some. Not suitable for driving anymore. Gu Shi'an wanted to refuse, but looking at Gu Lan's face full of expectation, he finally squeezed out a smile and said yes.

Gu Lan went to put hot water for her, and talked about some interesting things he had encountered at work recently. Try to make the atmosphere more relaxed and lively.

She's been busy and tired lately, but she's been incredibly fulfilling. The life of a rich young grandmother is much more fulfilling than in those years.

After losing herself for so many years, she slowly got her former self back during this time of work.

The two of them washed up early, didn't watch TV, and sat on the sofa talking. Gu Shi'an hadn't seen Gu Lan talk so much for a long time, and he kept talking with a smile.

After talking for a long time, Gu Lan suddenly asked

"Is Chen Xiao okay over there?" Gu Shi'an didn't expect her to ask about this topic, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then she smiled reluctantly and said

"It's good." Gu Lan shook his head lightly and said

"You don't have to hide it from me anymore, I've heard it all." She subconsciously bit her lip and said

"My dad said just now, now that spring breeze is proud, if you want to find out the flaw, you can only find out the person behind him. If evidence of collusion between him and Xiao Si is found, the board of directors will definitely consider it more. "What Chen Xun and Xiao Si have in common is that they both hate Chen Xiao.

Of course, hatred alone is certainly not enough to drive Xiao Si. Xiao Si has always been a cunning old fox, where would he make wedding dresses for others for nothing.

This shows that there is a deal between him and Chen Xun. And Xiao Si's ambition has always been big.

Chen Xun can't suppress him at all, and he won't be his opponent. Therefore, the transaction behind this must not be small.

On Chen Xun's side, the only chip that can be used is Chen's. The interests of the Chen family, this is not what Chen Xun can do.

Xiao Si should know this. Therefore, what he is trying to do is not supposed to be interests. Gu Shi'an's heart was shocked, there were many unsightly businesses under Xiao Si's hands.

Could it be that he was trying to use Chan to cover up his shady dealings? was involved in Xiao Si's shady business, and Gu Shi'an knew too well what the consequences were.

In a short period of time, her palms were wet and greasy. She knows these consequences, and of course Chen Xun is also clear.

He and Chen Zhengkang have always been unscrupulous, and they can do everything they can to bring down Chen Xiao.

So, it's entirely possible. I just don't know if Chen Xiao knows. No, what outsiders can see through, it is impossible for Chen Xiao not to know.

Gu Shi'an's heart was chaotic at this moment. It's easy to say to start from Chen Xun's side, but it's hard to do.

His unsightly deal with Xiao Si, where is it so easy to get evidence? Her mind was in a mess, and she wanted to call Chen Xiao immediately, but in the end she restrained herself.

She quickly calmed herself down and said to Gu Lan seriously

"Sister Lobby, thank you. Please thank me for me. Gu Lan said something to tell her not to be polite, reached out and held her hand, and said

"Shi'an, if you treat me as an outsider, if there is anything I can do to help, just say it." They have helped her so much, it can be said that she can be where she is now, it is all because of their help.

At this time, even if she knows that her strength is meager, she has to do her best. Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile and said hello.

In the following time, Gu Shi'an no longer had the heart to chat. Gu Lan naturally knew about it and took her to the guest room.

Let her rest well. Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep, and after lying on the bed for a while, he took out his mobile phone to call Chang Yan.

Now, the only person she can turn to for help is Chang Yin. Before the call could be dialed, she hung up.

Whether it is Xiao Si or Chen Xun, they are all ruthless. She couldn't let Chang Yan take any risks for her.

Gu Shi'an took a deep breath, restrained himself from messing up and calming down. How could she calm down on such a big matter.

Finally, he simply got up from the bed and sat on the floor with his knees crossed. The ground was bone-chilling, and she gradually calmed down in time.

Whether it is to get close to Chen Xiao or Xiao Si, it is obviously not easy. It is even more difficult to get evidence of the transaction between the two.

Xiao Si is different from Chen Xun, he doesn't know how many times more shrewd and cunning than Chen Xun. So, it's almost impossible to get started from him.

The only thing that can start, as Gu Chengping said, can only start from Chen Xun's side. Gu Shi'an took a deep breath, closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.

She knew that with her identity, even if she was close to Chen Xun, she might not be able to gain his trust.

Although Chen Xun is conceited, he is not stupid. Will definitely guard against her. She had to find a way to gain her trust.

Gu Shi'an remembered Assistant Sun's words today at this moment, and she didn't believe what he said that Chen Xiao had arranged.

If he really had an arrangement, he wouldn't have stayed at the old mansion. Gu Shi'an restrained himself from thinking about anything, climbed into bed, and closed his eyes.

Her mind was in a mess right now, and she had to calm down completely and sort it all out slowly.

She didn't sleep well last night, and suddenly there were more things in her head. Before she could come up with a reason, her head ached faintly.

She reached out and pressed hard, restraining herself from thinking about anything. The night was quiet, and there was a faint light outside the window.

It's suffocatingly quiet. Gu Shi'an was already late when she went to sleep, and she got up early the next day.

She originally wanted to leave quietly, but who knew that Gu Lan got up earlier than her and was already in the kitchen.

Hearing her footsteps, she came out of the kitchen with her apron around and said

"Why did you wake up so early?" She naturally knew that Gu Shi'an slept late last night. I also knew that she wouldn't stay here for long, so I got up early to make breakfast.

Because he didn't sleep well, Gu Shi'an's eyes were a little puffy. She squeezed out a smile and said

"I can't sleep and I get up." Gu Lan didn't ask much, and asked her to wash, saying that breakfast would be ready in a while.

When she was in Qiu's house, almost all of the family's breakfast was made by her and her aunt, and it was naturally handy to cook breakfast for two people.

Gu Shi'an came out of the kitchen, and she brought out the steaming steamed buns. Before the porridge was ready, she prepared a cup of hot milk for Gu Shi'an.

A breakfast ended quietly. Gu Lan had to go to work, but Gu Shi'an wanted to send her, but she didn't let her, saying that the company was close.

It won't be long before it arrives. She was worried about Gu Shi'an, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked

"Are you going home or somewhere?" Gu Shi'an didn't want her to worry, so he said to go back first. Gu Lan was still not at ease, and told her what to call her, and watched Gu Shi'an drive away, and then walked in the direction of the company.

Gu Shi'an didn't go home as he told Gu Lan, but drove directly to Gu's side. She had already rejected Chen Xun that night, and it was not easy to find a chance to get close to him again.

She had to find out when he was going and what he was going to do. She had passed early, as if she knew that the Chen family had changed hands, and the entire building was lifeless.

In the past, Chen Xiao commuted to and from work with employees, Gu Shi'an originally thought that Chen Xun would definitely set an example when he took office.

But it didn't. Her car stopped at about ten o'clock, only to see a convoy slowly driving to Chen's door.

Chen Xun's pomp and circumstance was big, the car stopped, and someone stepped forward to open the door for him. However, in a short distance to the company, there were seven or eight bodyguards.

Before this position was secured, the pomp was put out first. Gu Shi'an couldn't help sneering in his heart. Chen's she couldn't get in, and she saw Chen Xun go in.

She was supposed to drive away. But when she saw the recruitment sign standing in the café next to her, she paused.

But in an instant, she quickly started the car. I found a parking lot nearby, parked the car, and returned to the café door.

This café is close to Chen's, and there must be a lot of Chen's employees coming and going. As long as someone comes, the news in the Chen family can be heard somewhat.

Colleagues in the same company, when they have nothing to do, are bound to gossip. The café recruited waiters, and the recruitment was stricter than Gu Shi'an imagined.

It is required to know the types of coffee. Gu Shi'an has always drunk coffee just to refresh himself, and he has not studied it properly.

Fortunately, Gu Lan worked in a café, and the two occasionally listened to her talk about it. I don't really want a new store manager like her, but it's been difficult to recruit people lately.

After thinking about it, let Gu Shi'an try it for a week. If she can learn about everything she needs to learn in a week, let her stay.

Gu Shi'an responded. At first, she had nothing to do, and she followed the people appointed by the store manager to learn about the types of coffee and how to serve customers.

As she imagined, most of the café's customers were white-collar workers from the building opposite.

There are fewer things to do in the morning, but by noon they start to get busy. Gu Shi'an thought that he could hear some news, but he didn't.

Completely unfamiliar, she was accused of making the group turn around. There are also employees here who come here, but they are all unfamiliar faces.

Even the security guards have been changed, and the secretary's office has naturally changed. Gu Shi'an didn't see an old face.

One of the great things about working in a café is that you can see the movement of the opposite side through the floor-to-ceiling windows at all times.

Chen's is much stricter now than when Chen Xiao was there, and strange vehicles or people entering and exiting need to be registered and checked one by one.

I have to say that Chen Xun is careful. Chen Xun obviously didn't have much work in Chen's house, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy drove out of Chen's house.

I don't know where to go. After half a day of running-in, Gu Shi'an has already mixed up with his colleagues in the café.

When there was nothing else to do, she pretended to be curious and asked about the people in the building opposite. As soon as the topic was brought up, gossip popped up one after another.

Chen's changes can't be hidden from the clerks who have been doing it for a long time. Some people said that the company opposite has changed a lot of people, and many familiar faces have left.

Some people complained that the new boss was too unkind, and the building used to deliver coffee. You can't go upstairs, but you can send it to the front desk.

And now the idlers over there can't get close, and during working hours, almost no one will come out. Business in the café is much worse.

I don't know who revealed these gossips, and some clerks even talked about the relationship between Chen Xiao and Chen Xun.

and worried about Chen Xiao, being squeezed down by this half-brother, I am afraid it will not be easy to come back.

Before Gu Shi'an's gossip was finished, his mobile phone rang. She can't answer the phone during working hours, and she just wants to cut off the phone.

But when I took out the mobile phone, I found that the call was from Qi Shiyun. Gu Shi'an looked at it, pressed the mute, and put the phone back in his pocket.

But Qi Shiyun was unrelenting, and the phone rang again immediately after a round. Gu Shi'an looked at the store manager, and seeing that he didn't pay attention, he walked quickly to the bathroom and picked up the phone.
