Gu Ci said that he wanted to invite me to dinner, which really scared me out of my mind, and I refused directly without thinking about it.

"I'm sorry, I'm pregnant now, so it's inconvenient to go out."

"If you're concerned about safety, I can pick you up. I don't mean anything else, you saved me yesterday and I want to say thank you personally. ”

I don't want to have too much contact with Gu Ci, he is too mysterious, especially at this moment of competition with Jiang Cheng.

"This doesn't have to be, didn't I say it, you also saved me, so you should settle it."

"One yard to one yard, I'm not the ungrateful kind of person. I sincerely want to treat you to a meal, and please give me a chance. ”

Gu Ci has said that at this point, I can't refuse anymore, so I have to agree hard.

"Then we'll see you in half an hour, I'll come and pick you up."

"No need, you give me the address, and we'll see you in the restaurant."

Fortunately, he didn't have to come to pick me up, so he gave me an address and hung up the phone.

I took a shower as fast as I could, changed into neat and decent clothes, and put on a light makeup.

The makeup material was specially found by Jiang Cheng after she became pregnant, saying that it was a pure plant extract, and it would not produce harmful substances to the body when wiped on the face.

I took out a small bag from the cloakroom, packed it up, and carried it downstairs.

Sister-in-law Zhang, who heard the voice, came out of the kitchen, and when she saw me, she was surprised and said, "Young lady, who are you?" ”

"I have something to go out, so I won't eat lunch at home."

"Young lady, slow down on your way." Sister-in-law Zhang said with concern.

I smiled, "I understand, Sister-in-law Zhang, I'll go first." ”

Escorted by bodyguards, half an hour later I arrived at a high-end Chinese restaurant that Gu Ci had mentioned.

I don't know how long Gu Ci has been here, but I saw him as soon as I entered.

"Mr. Gu." I smiled at him and sat down across from him.

"Miss Li, don't you mind calling it like that, I think you are more suitable for this title than Mrs. Jiang." Gu Ci's eyes were as calm as water.

My heart turned around a few times, and it was clear that there was something in the words, but I didn't hear the real meaning.

"It's just a code name, Mr. Gu can call it whatever he wants." I said with a decent smile.

"Miss Li is a very interesting person."

I laughed dryly, not knowing what to say, but luckily the waiter brought us the menu.

While I was ordering, I lowered my eyelids, thinking about the purpose of asking me to come, was it really so simple to thank me?

After ordering after a while, I raised my eyes and looked at Gu Ci again, "Mr. Gu won the bid in the east of the city this time, is he planning to return to China for development?" ”

"With this thought, Haishi is my root after all, and sooner or later I will come back." Gu Ci said indifferently.

"There are not many young people like Mr. Gu who have been abroad for decades and come back again." I say it meaningfully.

Gu Ci's face changed suddenly, but soon returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"Life abroad is not as comfortable as at home."

This sentence is not leaky, and I have not received any useful information.

"How long have Miss Li and Mr. Jiang been married?" He asked suddenly.

I was slightly stunned, and then I said aloud: "About a year." ”

"Sometimes I really envy Mr. Jiang for marrying a wonderful person like Miss Li."

The alarm bells in my heart are ringing, and Gu Ci's words are very meaningful.

"Radish greens, each has his own love, Mr. Gu is also a big boss, there should be a favorite girl." I calmly turned the topic back to Gu Ci.

Gu Ci looked calm, "I've been busy with work all these years, and I haven't had time to fall in love." ”

My eyes flashed slightly, and I said with a smile: "Then Mr. Gu is not wrong to come to Haishi, as far as I know, there are many young ladies in Haishi who are single." With your family background, you will soon be able to hold the beauty. ”

"There are indeed a lot of beauties in Haishi, but there are none of them I want." Gu Ciyan smiled.

In an instant, Su Xinyuan's face appeared in my mind.

I pondered it for a while, and pretended to ask casually: "Does Mr. Gu know Miss Su?" ”

I didn't care about the gossip between the two, but Su Xinyuan's strange appearance made me very worried.

"Why did Miss Li ask that?" Gu Ci said in surprise.

Seeing that the surprise on his face didn't seem to be fake, I couldn't help but suspect that he and Su Xinyuan didn't know each other, and everything was just my guess.

"Yesterday, I saw Mr. Gu looking at Miss Su with unusual eyes, I thought the two of you knew each other, but it turned out that I made a mistake."

As I said this, my eyes were secretly fixed on Gu Ci, but there was nothing unusual about him.

Gu Ci shook his head, "I've heard of Miss Su before, but last night was the first time I saw her. ”

His expression was so indifferent that I couldn't help but doubt myself again.

Either what Gu Ci said was true, he didn't know Su Xinyuan, or he was lying.

For a moment, I couldn't tell if what he said was true or not.

At this time, the waiter happened to come over with the food, and I was interrupted by this, and I couldn't hold on to this matter anymore, so I had to pull the topic elsewhere.

Gu Ci seems to be casual, but every time he says it, it is not leaky, so that people can't find a flaw.

Because of this, my defense against Gu Ci reached its peak.

No wonder even Jiang Cheng was planted in his hands this time, because he really had this ability.

This meal made my whole body tense, for fear that I would be calculated by him if I was not careful.

When the word calculation popped into my mind, I was slightly stunned, not understanding why I thought the way I did.

After all, he hasn't done anything to hurt me since we met, and in the end I put this premonition down to a woman's sixth sense.

After eating, I declined Gu Ci's offer to send me back, and asked the driver to go to Yuncheng instead.

I haven't been to Yuncheng for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to take a look, and by the way, see how Zhou Xueqian is.

When I passed by a pastry shop, I bought a lot of dim sum and wrapped it in two parts, one for the people in the company, and one for Jiang Cheng.

I walked in front with my bag in my hand, and the two bodyguards carried snacks in their hands, and everyone was surprised to see us coming.

"Madame, are you here?" An employee was surprised.

I smiled slightly, pointed to the snacks in the bodyguard's hand and said, "I just happened to pass by here and bring you some snacks for afternoon tea." ”

He looked happy and said excitedly, "Thank you, ma'am." ”

With his words, one after another people said thank you.

After I swept around the hall and didn't see Wu Yanan and Zhou Xueqian, I asked the bodyguards to distribute the snacks to them, and then came to his office with Jiang Cheng's share.

Jiang Cheng didn't have any surprise when he saw me coming, but he was a little worried and said, "Why didn't you tell me before you came, my good person went to pick you up, what if you bumped into it on the road?" ”

"How can I be so squeamish, besides, there are bodyguards." I smiled and said, "It's your favorite dim sum, freshly baked, you can taste it." ”

I pushed the nod in front of him, and he picked up a piece and didn't eat it first, but handed it to my mouth.

"You've worked hard all the way here, so let's take the first bite first."

I bent my eyebrows and opened my mouth to bite down on a snack.

It's a bean paste flavor, and it doesn't taste that sweet, but when I eat it, it's sweeter than anything else.

After eating a few pieces of dim sum, Jiang Cheng said, "If you are tired, go back and rest first." ”

"I'm not tired, I want to stay here with you and go back together in the evening."

"If you're tired, go inside and get some rest."

Jiang Cheng often needs to work overtime, so he has a separate room in the office, which has a bathroom and a bed, and he usually rests in it when he is tired.

"Okay, you're busy, don't worry about me."

I chuckled and sat down on the couch, found the most comfortable position, and picked up the magazine on the table to look.

The sound of Jiang Cheng tapping on the keyboard in my ears not only did not make me feel irritable, but made me feel very reassured.

It didn't take long for the mobile phone in my bag to vibrate, it was sent by Wu Yanan, asking me if I was gone.

I replied that she hadn't left and asked her where she had gone.

She quickly messaged me back, saying that they would be in Jiang Cheng's office right away.

Looking at Wu Yanan's anxious tone, I couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong.

A few minutes later, Wu Yanan knocked on the door and entered, accompanied by Zhou Xueqian and a man I didn't know.

Wu Yanan's eyes were red, and his face was indignant and mixed with a hint of grievance.

And Zhou Xueqian was guilty, but the man was full of embarrassment.

Their expressions instantly aroused the doubts in my heart.

"President, this collaboration has failed." Wu Yanan lowered his head, his voice with a crying tone.

"What's going on?" Jiang Cheng's voice was very light, but with an irresistible majesty.

Wu Yanan raised his head suddenly, looked at death as if he was home, and said: "It's all my fault, as the person in charge of this negotiation, I didn't check the plan before leaving." ”

I was puzzled, how serious Wu Yanan is about her work, everyone in the company knows it clearly, I don't believe she would make a mistake so carelessly.

I set my eyes on Zhou Xueqian, and she happened to see me too, so she immediately looked away.

Seeing her look so weak-hearted, I suddenly understood a little bit in my heart.

"What do you two say?" Jiang Cheng looked at Zhou Xueqian and the man.

When I heard this, I also looked at Zhou Xueqian, and from Wu Yanan's words, I guessed that this mistake was inseparable from Zhou Xueqian.

The man who spoke first said, "I'm also at fault for this, and I'm careless." ”

In the end, Zhou Xueqian was left, she lowered her head tightly, making it impossible to see the emotions on her face.

A minute later, Zhou Xueqian whispered, "I did as I was told." ”

I looked at Zhou Xueqian in disbelief, and I didn't understand that she would throw the pot away.

And Wu Yanan on the side seemed to be used to it for a long time, there was no displeasure on his face, and some were just sarcasm.

At this moment, I felt that I was sorry for Wu Yanan.

At the same time, I am also very disappointed in Zhou Xueqian, I didn't expect her to be such a person, and she didn't even have the courage to admit her mistakes.

I withdrew my eyes in disappointment and looked at Jiang Cheng pleadingly.
