Chapter 202: Banquet Confrontation
In the Q's studio, Zhong Qing repeatedly revises the sketches, which are the main clothing styles of the Q's brand for the next season, and she must strive to do her best.
The employee in charge of sales came over and handed over this month's order to Zhong Qing for review, who put down the paintbrush, pressed the eyebrows and opened the information, and when he saw the data above, Zhong Qing's tense heart was relieved.
At this time, the finance also came to report, and in addition to the daily expenses and employee salaries earned this month, Zhong Qing earned more than 200,000 yuan, which is a great news for a studio and designer who has just started.
Zhong Qing stood up, clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, and then waved her hand and said, "Today's dinner after work, whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you!" β
"Thank you boss!"
"Thank you boss!"
Zhong Qing handed over the financial statements to the treasurer and signed a check for her to take the money.
At five o'clock in the evening, at the Y-ing Group headquarters, Wei Bai brought a set of custom-made suits, Gu Xiu crossed his hands and looked at them, although these suits looked similar, but only the number of times he wore them did he know their subtle differences.
"Second master, don't you really tell Miss Zhong about this dinner? I think she'd love to go with you. β
Gu Xiu said: "Gu Zihan has also received an invitation, I will not let her take risks until I am completely safe." β
Wei Bai heard a lot of stories about Gu Xiu and Zhong Qing from Wei Lan, although he didn't know much about their past, but from now on, looking at the way the two get along and how much they love, Wei Bai is still very envious.
What boss is still single-minded about his girlfriend after becoming famous and making money? He alone knew that even many department managers in the company had very disorderly private lives, and it was really rare to see Gu Xiu who was so clean and self-conscious.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Gu Xiu appeared on time at the birthday banquet of the president of Longcheng University, as a company that cooperates with the university to cultivate talents, Gu Xiu personally came to the scene to give the president enough face, and can invite the famous entrepreneurs in the city and even the whole country to celebrate his birthday, and the president's smile is grinning to the root of his ears.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for coming to support me!" The principal deliberately amplified his voice, and most of the guests in the banquet hall turned their heads one after another, and when they saw Gu Xiu, their faces showed expressions of envy and fear
After a few words of greeting with the principal, Gu Xiu walked aside in a low-key manner, but his existence was destined to be impossible to be low-key, as soon as he picked up a glass of wine, someone came over to chat.
Gu Xiu remained polite and answered their questions one by one, including stock market investment and financial management, everyone who talked to Gu Xiu admired him, this man seemed to know everything, it seemed that nothing could be difficult for him, no wonder he would achieve today's success.
"Mr. Gu is here!"
I don't know who shouted at the door, everyone subconsciously looked at the door, only Gu Xiu didn't move, he knew very well who the "Mr. Gu" was calling.
Gu Zihan was dressed in a black suit and slowly walked into the banquet hall with an elegant and intellectual lady, and the principal immediately greeted him again when he saw this, how to greet Gu Xiu, and said the same thing to Gu Zihan again.
The people who knew a little bit about the scene all observed Gu Xiu's face, and now the news is all about the two of them, the Gu Group and the Y-ing Group are the biggest competitors in the city, and the half-brothers are even more-for-tat, I don't know if something will happen if they meet on this occasion today.
However, when everyone was holding their breath and observing the development of the situation, Gu Zihan walked up to Gu Xiu with Lu Mei, raised the cup with a smile, and said, "I don't know that Mr. Gu is also here, don't come unharmed!" β
A black shadow rushed over from the side and went straight to Gu Zihan, it was not Wei Lan, but Zhou Qingyu.
Gu Xiu quietly grabbed Zhou Qingyu, the latter had never had such an angry expression, and the colleagues next to him were taken aback - Professor Zhou had never had a grudge against anyone this time, why was Gu Zihan so angry today?
"Hello, Professor Zhou." Gu Xiu smiled.
Zhou Qingyu lowered his voice and said, "Gu Zihan! What kind of ability are you doing to bully grandma, you want to do anything at me! β
Zhou Qingyu has always been known for his good temper, except for academic teaching, other things can't attract his attention at all. Only this time, Gu Zihan squeezed the low-key Zhou Group to close the door, he didn't care about the affection of the previous two families, and he didn't have any scruples about the face of Gu Ziyu, who was already engaged to Zhou Qingyu.
"Professor Zhou, I don't know what you're talking about. But in terms of seniority, if you marry my sister, you should call me 'brother', and now call me by my name, isn't it a bit unruly? β
Zhou Qingyu has adhered to the rules and dogma since he was a child, if he wasn't mad today, he wouldn't have rushed over directly, if Gu Xiu hadn't pulled him by his side, he would probably have punched Gu Zihan in the face.
Lu Mei took Gu Zihan's arm, and after thinking for a while, she remembered who the elegant man in front of her was, as if deliberately, she said, "Isn't this the famous Professor Zhou?" Why did you treat your family coldly, and those who don't know thought that you were at odds with your fiancΓ©e, and you poured your anger on your brother. β
Zhou Qingyu has been doing academics for many years, and he has no experience in this area at all, and he wanted to refute after hearing Lu Mei's words, but the other party was a lady but he didn't know how to speak.
At this time, Gu Xiu next to him said coldly: "What kind of thing are you, talking about other people's husband and wife." At Lu Mei's unhappy expression, he smiled and continued: "I forgot that you are Mr. Gu's new love, no wonder he didn't stop you from being so presumptuous." The best paleology expert in the country can also be by you? β
Lu Mei was stunned, her face was not very good-looking, but Gu Zihan next to her said: "What is the truth with the lady, Gu Xiu, you are inevitably too ungentlemanly." β
Gu Xiu, who was accused in public, did not show the slightest displeasure, he showed calmness and calmness as if he had practiced it a long time ago: "Professor Zhou is your brother-in-law, Mr. Gu, I thought that the irresponsible words that Miss Lu said, you, the eldest brother, would refute it, but I didn't expect you not only not to speak, but also to watch the jokes on the side." If I am also silent, in case others think that you spoil your new love too much and ignore your family, this will hurt your face as much as President Gu. β
After eating a nail that was neither soft nor hard, Gu Zihan's smile gradually converged, and Lu Mei felt the muscles on Gu Zihan's arm tense, and the corners of her mouth stiffened.
At this time, Zhou Qingyu, who had regained his composure, said silently: "I have a good relationship with Ziyu, at least we are a legitimate fiancΓ©e, Doctor Lu, I don't know what your customers will think when these words you say today are heard by your customers." β
The most famous psychiatrist in the city is like a long-tongued woman talking about other people's relationships in public places, and wants to do whatever she wants with Gu Zihan by her side, who knows that after Zhou Qingyu said this, Gu Zihan didn't mean to help her at all.
I don't know if the four of them spoke too loudly, or if the aura of Gu Zihan and Gu Xiu standing together was too strong, the voice in the banquet hall was much quieter, and even the sound of the piano stopped.
The principal not far away regretted it, he thought that today he had his birthday, and invited the two most pompous entrepreneurs in the city to add glory to himself, but he didn't expect that the two of them were incompatible to such a point, and even Professor Zhou, who has always been honest, also participated, what is this!
Hurriedly asked the pianist to continue playing the piano, the pianist came to his senses and played a dance song, Gu Zihan stretched out his hand to Lu Mei, who stiffly put his hand on his palm and entered the dance floor with him.
"I'm sorry." Lu Mei saw that Gu Zihan's face was very ugly, and apologized in a low voice: "I just wanted to help you, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but it made Gu Xiu say ugly things." β
Gu Zihan gave her an extremely indifferent look and said, "Do you think that if I don't mention it, I don't care about my younger brothers and sisters?" β
Lu Mei hurriedly shook her head: "No, it's not ......"
"Next time, you know what to do."
On the other side, outside the dance floor, Zhou Qingyu drank the entire glass of red wine in one go, he rarely had this impulse, and after sobering up, in addition to regret, he also felt guilty.
"I'm sorry to get you involved." Zhou Qingyu said to Gu Xiu: "This was originally a matter for our Zhou family and the Gu family, and I shouldn't trouble you to speak for me." β
Gu Xiu said disapprehantly: "Lu Mei has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, she blocked her downstairs in Zhong Qing's studio before, so I think it's good to be a person who is not a gentleman occasionally." β
"Ziyu is afraid that her grandmother won't like her because of Gu Zihan's matter, and she is afraid that our Zhou family will have opinions about her, so she has been sad and under a lot of pressure these days." Zhou Qingyu said: "I want to comfort her, but I don't know how to speak, Gu Zihan has forced her to resign in the company, and now she doesn't care about the face of her in-laws, so ...... to us."
"So sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too low-key." Gu Xiu said: "Ziyu, you have to let her come out quickly, although that child is usually very aggressive, it is easy to drill the horns, and what Gu Zihan is doing now does not need her to be responsible." β
"I know, but ......"
Gu Zihan is Gu Ziyu's sister in the final analysis, the two are connected by blood and blood, it is impossible for Gu Ziyu to cut off relations with Gu Zihan or even the Gu family, but what Gu Zihan is doing now is to make Gu Ziyu more sad every time.
At the end of the song, Gu Zihan motioned for Lu Mei to wait for him, then picked up a glass of wine and walked to Gu Xiu's side, and said, "Mr. Gu, shall we go to the side to talk?" β
"Tell me what to say here." Gu Xiu didn't have the heart to play a game of verbal war with Gu Zihan, he preferred to prove himself with his strength rather than suppressing it verbally.
"You already know about my 'buying' of the next Zhou Group, right?" Gu Zihan lowered his voice, lightly threatened Gu Xiu, and warned: "I advise you, this is not your business with me, you had better not get involved." β
Gu Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "I also have something to give to you, the Zhou family's business is my Gu Xiu's business, if you want to bully them, it's best to ask me if I agree." β
"What, does Mr. Gu have to take care of it?"
"I'm not going to take care of it, but I'm already in charge." Gu Xiu glanced at his watch and said to Gu Zihan: "You'd better call the people in the factory, I think what is happening now, they don't know how to tell you yet." β
