Chapter 12 Xu Zhiyan returned to China
Tonight's day is as lively as ever.
Gu Xiu sat in the most conspicuous booth, holding a straw for drinking Coke, and his eyes swept over every corner of the heavens. Whether it's a customer writhing on the dance floor or a waiter weaving through the crowd, everything is in order.
Wei Lan sat opposite Gu Xiu and drank, watching Gu Xiu's head turn in the direction of the door again and again, without thinking about it, he must be waiting for that "eldest lady".
"Tsk." Gu Xiu muttered displeasedly: "What's going on......"
As soon as the words landed, Zhong Qing walked in from the door.
Gu Xiu was in a good mood, he watched Zhong Qing squeeze through the crowd and walk all the way to his side, straightened his collar, and a smile of interest hung on the corner of his mouth.
Zhong Qing walked up to Gu Xiu with a black line on his face, resisted the urge to throw the information in his face, and said, "The information you want is here." ”
Zhong Qing didn't want to meet Gu Xiu after work, especially at the Tianqi Bar. She thinks that she has made it clear in the company during the day that she would rather do the work of two people by one person and sign the names of two people at the end than have anything to do with the people of their family.
But the reason given by Gu Xiu made her unable to refuse-
"You can't let you do everything alone, Miss, right? It's not easy for the two old men to explain it, and besides, I also want to learn about project management, you won't refuse, right? ”
Because of Gu Guosheng's face, Zhong Qing had no choice but to rush to Tianqian Bar after work and hand over the materials he had sorted out to Gu Xiu.
In such a noisy environment, it's strange that Gu Xiu can see it! Zhong Qing rolled her eyes in her heart, and as soon as she sat down, she saw Gu Xiu flipping through the documents, as if he was studying them seriously.
Wei Lan poured Zhong Qing a glass of soda, Zhong Qing didn't take a sip, and wanted to explain the content of the information to Gu Xiu quickly.
"I have a question here." Without waiting for Zhong Qing to speak, Gu Xiu handed over the document, pointed to a certain place on it and said, "The data on the construction area of the third floor, part of the area is vacant. ”
"I haven't decided exactly what to do there." Zhong Qing was a little surprised, Gu Xiu could see the most inconspicuous area data at a glance, had he never touched this aspect before? How does it seem now...... Familiar look?
"Huh." Gu Xiu suddenly laughed.
"If you want me to say, while the land is still in our hands, we can make at least 100 million yuan by selling it at a high price." Gu Xiudao: "Buying such a piece of land for investment and development is a long time and a big investment, not to mention that it is not so easy to occupy a place among many chain shopping mall enterprises." ”
Zhong Qing said: "Father and Uncle Gu do this with their own considerations. ”
"I know that the old man in my family has worked hard to invest heavily in the construction of shopping malls, just to prove his status in the business world and take off his black hat as soon as possible."
Zhong Qing also did not deny that when Gu Guosheng found his father to cooperate in buying the land in the north of the city, he personally said that he wanted to prove the Gu family's determination to be in business.
It's just that Gu Guosheng didn't take into account that once this shopping mall is completed, the later investment, the cooperation of merchants and the future development prospects are all a big investment, and that kind of investment is not a small sacrifice for a Gu family who has just emerged in the business world.
Even for the Zhong family, which has a stable career, this is a big challenge.
Zhong Qing clasped her hands around her chest, she didn't expect that she would listen to what Gu Xiu said.
"In the past 10 years, three large shopping malls in City A have closed and five have opened, and it is difficult for private companies to stay in business for eight years, except for those shopping malls that are in national chains. If we can't make back the money we invested in the early stage in these five years, how much will the two of us lose...... You know that, right? ”
Zhong Qing thought for a while: "What you said is just speculation, the marketing departments of the two companies have done an investigation, the project is about to be promoted, and the engineer's architectural drawings have been drawn ......."
"If you don't stop your losses in time, you will lose more in the future."
Zhong Qing looked at Gu Xiu suspiciously, the man in front of him who saw the economic market of City A so thoroughly, and what he said before "I don't know how to do business at all", are two extremes at all.
In this way, Zhong Qing unconsciously thought that Gu Xiu had already investigated everything, thought of all the plans a long time ago, but there was no chance to speak.
Maybe not only the cooperation between the two companies this time, but also the current situation and future development of the Gu Group, he Gu Xiu knows it clearly.
But if that's the case, why does he hide in this Tianyan bar all day long, and can't take any interest in the company's big and small affairs?
"You don't have to look at me like that." Sensing the suspicion in Zhong Qing's eyes, Gu Xiu said: "I just proposed to you a method that makes the most and the fastest profits, you are a businessman, you should be able to understand what I mean, right?" ”
Like a fox waiting for an opportunity for its prey to take the bait, Gu Xiu's every movement and expression had a deep meaning, Zhong Qing knew that she had misseen Gu Xiu before, and now she couldn't understand Gu Xiu anymore.
What is hidden beneath that seemingly cynical exterior? Why did Gu Xiu return to the Gu family? Why did he show two completely different attitudes towards the Gu family's career?
"You want to sell this land?" Zhong Qing asked.
It's a pity that what answered her was only a meaningful smile from Gu Xiu.
"I am not the owner of that land." Gu Xiu said: "Even if you want to sell the land, you have to ...... the eldest lady" Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiu was attracted by a figure who came in at the door, he frowned and slowly let go, Zhong Qing didn't know what was going on, so he saw Gu Xiu stand up.
The red-haired Xu Zhiyan stepped on eight-centimeter high heels, and his eye-catching leather coat was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
Zhong Qing didn't remember the identity of the red-haired woman for a while, and it wasn't until she stood in front of Gu Xiu, hugged Gu Xiu's head and kissed him on the face, that Zhong Qing suddenly remembered who it was.
"You kid, run back home without saying a word, when am I? Yes!? Xu Zhiyan tugged on Gu Xiu's collar, she raised her right foot and stepped on the crystal coffee table, her movements were unconventional, and she was unexpectedly handsome.
Gu Xiu took Xu Zhiyan's hand away and wiped his face with lipstick, he really didn't expect this uneasy person to suddenly appear.
"Zhiyan?" Zhong Qing called tentatively: "Is that you?" ”
Xu Zhiyan was originally unhappy that Gu Xiu had other women around her, but when she saw Zhong Qing's face, her unhappiness was replaced by surprise.
"Xiaoqing? Why are you here? "Since Xu Zhiyan was sent abroad to go to school when he was eighteen years old, he has never seen Zhong Qing again, but he didn't expect that on the first day of returning to China, the two would meet here.
"Because of work, I cooperated with Gu Xiu." Zhong Qing was also happy when she saw Xu Zhiyan, the two of them have been friends since they were very young, as well as Gu Ziyu and Zhou Han, the four of them always have nothing to say.
It's just that now they are not young, they are busy with their own things, although there is still contact at home, but the time for them to really get together is almost gone.
"Congratulations!" Xu Zhiyan patted Zhong Qing on the shoulder and said loudly: "You girl finally took down Gu Zihan!" I'm coming back this time to attend your engagement feast! ”
Zhong Qing's smile slowly solidified on his face, and Gu Xiu next to him threw the hand towel on Xu Zhiyan's body.
"That's how you kid greeted me?" Xu Zhiyan glared and said, "Xiaoqing is going to get engaged tomorrow, what kind of work are you talking about today, you ......"
"It's not me who is engaged." Although this is already a given result, Zhong Qing still feels sad when he says it in person: "Engaged to Gu Zihan...... It's Zhong Nian. ”
Xu Zhiyan's expression slowly changed from shock to anger, and finally to deep guilt.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoqing, I received a call from my father, and when I heard that the Gu family and the Zhong family were married, I thought it was you and Gu Zihan ......"
Zhong Qing shook his head: "Well, it's okay." ”
Although she had known Xu Zhiyan for many years, Gu Xiu still wanted to put her head in the toilet and flush it away.
There is also Zhong Qing, a woman, who was obviously hit, but she still pretended to be generous, and said that she was sad, okay? Why are you so strong, you really don't look like a woman.
Gu Xiu suddenly felt a little irritable, especially when the lights in the bar hit Zhong Qing's face, it would make him feel a sense of disobedience that she didn't belong here.
Especially when he saw Zhong Qing smiling strongly, he couldn't bear the boredom in his heart anymore, and reached out and dragged away Zhong Qing, who was greeting Xu Zhiyan.
Gu Xiu took Zhong Qing directly to the street outside the bar.
"Hey...... Feed! Zhong Qing didn't understand what Gu Xiu was suddenly crazy, she struggled hard: "Gu Xiu! Gu Xiu, let go of me! ”
Gu Xiu let go of Zhong Qing, turned to face her, and suddenly said loudly: "Since you decided to be unhappy, stop laughing, do you know that you are so fake?" ”
Zhong Qing, who was suddenly yelled, was stunned.
"You say...... What the? ”
Gu Xiu frowned: "You don't want to hear others mention Gu Zihan's name, don't pretend to be okay, Zhong Qing, can you stop abusing yourself like this?" ”
"How am I...... It has nothing to do with the second young master, right? Zhong Qing rubbed her reddened wrist and said, "What I do is my private matter, Second Young Master Gu, are you taking care of it a little too much?" ”
"How much do I care?" Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, anyway, your business has nothing to do with me, what do I care about you?" ”
Zhong Qing looked at Gu Xiu helplessly, shook his head and turned to leave. Gu Xiu took a deep breath and watched Zhong Qing turn at the intersection and walked directly to the alley next to him.
"Say! Who sent you! ”
