CHAPTER XIX
When Gu Xiu, who had returned to Tianqi, just opened a bottle of foreign wine, he suddenly received a call from Gu Guosheng, who asked him to go back to the company immediately, for unknown reasons.
"It can't be that the eldest lady complained to the old man and said that you bullied her, right?" Wei Lan deliberately joked.
Gu Xiu threw the foreign wine bottle in his hand into Wei Lan's arms, and walked out of the bar without saying anything.
It turned out that half of what Wei Lan said was correct, Zhong Qing really went to Gu Guosheng, but it was not because of the situation of suing Gu Xiu, but because he personally explained the previous misunderstanding to Gu Guosheng.
"In terms of long-term returns, investing in shopping malls is not a wise choice."
"If the huge investment in the early stage cannot recover the cost within three years, it will be a big loss for Gu and Zhong Shi. Uncle Gu, I know your concerns, but I think the suggestion made by Gu Xiu is the best. ”
Gu Xiu held the doorknob with one hand, and Zhong Qing's voice in the office floated into his ears.
This woman ...... It's really stupid, Gu Xiu chuckled, he was bullied so much that he was about to cry before, but now he actually came to the company to speak for himself. Somewhere in his heart was rubbed soft, in Gu Xiu's memory, no one had ever spoken to him.
"Dad." Gu Xiu pushed the door in, Zhong Qing turned his back to him, and turned his head to look at him after hearing the voice.
"You kid, why don't you say that you have such a complete plan?" Gu Guosheng took the documents sorted out by Zhong Qing and looked at Gu Xiu with hatred: "If Zhong Qing hadn't brought the information over today, the company would have almost suffered a large loss!" If you made a proposal, why didn't you put it on to the board of directors at that time? ”
Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhong Qing, and then said: "Big brother's plan is also very good, compared to him, I am not worth mentioning." ”
In fact, Gu Xiu couldn't wait for Gu Zihan to take away the hot potato of the land project, because he knew that no matter whether this matter was done well or not, it would be used by Wei Mengjun and Gu Zihan as an excuse against himself.
Gu Xiu kept a low profile in the Gu family for three whole years, never hoping that he would turn over because of a certain project, he just wanted his mother to get the best treatment conditions, and never asked for any property of the Gu family.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, he thought that he said such excessive things to Zhong Qing, she would sue Gu Guosheng to withdraw from the project, which happened to be in line with his own heart, but he didn't expect this stupid woman to take the plan to excuse herself, it's really stupid!
"Miss Zhong is usually very idle, and she doesn't even bother to care about this kind of thing?" The two of them left Gu Guosheng's office, and Gu Xiu said to Zhong Qing, "Or have you forgotten what I said before?" ”
"Why do you always act like no one is going to get in? Gu Xiu, you have paid the most for this project, but why do you show that you don't care about anything in front of Gu Zihan? Zhong Qing really didn't understand Gu Xiu, she said: "You would rather be misunderstood by Uncle Gu than continue this project, your ability is obviously not only to manage the bar, why do you always pretend to be a bad one...... Yes! ”
Before Zhong Qing finished speaking, she was pushed to the wall by Gu Xiu, and she looked at the man in front of her who was suddenly approaching in horror, her back pressed against the cold wall.
"Don't talk to me in that tone that knows me very well." Gu Xiu's breath fell on Zhong Qing's face, and a low and terrifying voice like a devil sounded in Zhong Qing's ears: "Miss Zhong, please take care of your own affairs in the future, and don't meddle in your own affairs anymore." ”
Her throat seemed to be choked by air, and it was the first time Zhong Qing saw Gu Xiu's terrifying appearance, she could barely breathe.
She just wanted to explain for Gu Xiu, after Gu Ziyu said what happened to Gu Xiu in the Gu family, she immediately forgave Gu Xiu's offense, and instead wanted to find Gu Guosheng in person to explain the situation.
For nothing else, Zhong Qing just wanted to repay Gu Xiu's favor for helping her before.
But now, she was frightened by Gu Xiu's true face, it turned out that this seemingly cynical second young master would become so terrible after being really provoked.
Like a beast that is king alone in the wilderness, every breath is a pungent smell of blood, after Gu Xiu promised Gu Guosheng to take over the Tianqi Bar, after fighting again and again, he naturally gave birth to a body of evil qi, and it was this evil qi that became his fortress and his weakness.
Zhong Qing suppressed her heart, and said tremblingly: "I, I just want to help you......"
"No one can help me." Gu Xiu's eyes were fixed on Zhong Qing's face, and his cold hand covered Zhong Qing's cheek, instantly causing the latter to feel a chill.
"Including you."
The last three words were like a spell bound on the top of Zhong Qing's head, and she looked at Gu Xiu who turned to leave, and the soles of her feet were weak and she couldn't stand.
Gu Xiu, who returned to the car, punched the steering wheel one by one, and his mind was full of Zhong Qing's panicked and frightened appearance just now. The pounding on the steering wheel grew stronger and harder, until the joints of the fingers oozed blood.
Zhong Qing's words seemed to be still echoing in his ears, and Gu Xiu couldn't remember the last time someone said something like "I just want to help you" to himself. From the day he returned to the Gu family, many people wanted him to die, but no one wanted him to live well.
But Zhong Qing, who had only known each other for a few days, actually said that he wanted to help himself? She didn't even know that she was in danger, and she ridiculously said that she wanted to help herself......
Gu Xiu couldn't tell what he was feeling at this time, he was moved unwillingly, he was caught off guard, and he was unspeakably sad.
It's like a dog used to watch the door, although it is famous, but it can only barely survive in the cold storm and snow, and the so-called "family" has not given it a trace of warmth, so when the sun suddenly shines on him, he will feel uneasy because of fear.
Gu Xiu was not afraid of Zhong Qing's kindness to him, but the uneasiness that bred from the bottom of his heart made him subconsciously keep his distance from Zhong Qing.
Just like Wei Lan said, Gu Xiu refused to be approached by everyone, and he turned away anyone who was good to him. Gu Xiu is like a wild wolf, he doesn't need companions or friends, and because of this, he can survive the past three years in the Gu family unharmed.
It's just that it seems that after encountering Zhong Qing's incident, everything is messed up.
In the conference room of the Gu Group, Zhong Qing had just recovered from the fear that Gu Xiu had brought her, and the door was pushed open, and then Gu Zihan walked in.
"I'm in charge of the sale of the land." Gu Zihan said: "Father asked me to discuss the next details with you. ”
Zhong Qing frowned: "Why are you?" Gu Xiu ...... "Halfway through the words, Zhong Qing stopped, she wanted to win Gu Xiu's cooperation in the project again, but after experiencing what happened to you just now, she was a little afraid to see Gu Xiu again.
It's just that Gu Xiu's plan was snatched away by Gu Zihan, and Gu Xiu was busy for nothing during this time. Zhong Qing thought about it, since this was Gu Guosheng's decision, he couldn't say anything more.
"Information on companies interested in buying land, I'll ask my secretary to send it to you." Zhong Qing picked up the bag and wanted to leave: "As for the price of the sale, it is up to my father to decide." ”
Gu Zihan glanced at the documents in his hand, and he said coldly: "This is your attitude?" ”
It seems that overnight, Zhong Qing has changed as a person, the first time Gu Zihan had this feeling was when Gu Zhong's two families had dinner, Zhong Qing, who used to always look at him with a smile, was extremely cold that day, first pierced the relationship between him and Zhong Nian, and then turned around and left with an almost indifferent attitude.
Gu Zihan seemed to be used to the figure chasing after him, and since he was very young, Zhong Qing always looked at him with a smile. Even if Gu Zihan's favorite person is Zhong Nian, he has to admit that he has become accustomed to Zhong Qing's existence over the years.
But Zhong Qing's current change quickly caught him off guard.
"I know you're angry about what happened to me and Xiao Nian, and I admit that I didn't handle our relationship well." Gu Zihan's tone softened for the first time, and his voice was unexpectedly gentle.
Zhong Qing's steps stopped, she turned her head to look at him, there was no longer that kind of uncontrollable love and admiration in her eyes, Gu Zihan could even see that Zhong Qing had disdain and disgust for herself.
"So what?" Zhong Qing asked Gu Zihan rhetorically: "What do you want to say?" ”
Gu Zihan took a step forward and said, "You don't need to use Gu Xiu to be angry with me, we have cooperated so many times, we shouldn't be like this because of an outsider." ”
Zhong Qing felt funny: "You mean, I cooperated with Gu Xiu because I was angry with you?" Gu Zihan, you must be too narcissistic! ”
Gu Zihan's smile stiffened on his face, he would never have thought that Zhong Qing would say such a thing anyway.
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't expect you to be a villain who takes advantage of others, Gu Zihan, I liked you at the beginning, but I was really blind." Zhong Qing said: "This plan was written by Gu Xiu, and it should be Gu Xiu to follow up and cooperate, but now you kicked him out of the company and took away what belongs to him, Gu Zihan, you are so shameless!" ”
"Shameless! Do you know who you're talking for? Gu Zi laughed coldly: "An illegitimate son who can't see the light, what qualifications does he have to compete with me for everything in the Gu family!" ”
Zhong Qing looked at Gu Zihan in disbelief, he couldn't believe that such words came out of his mouth!
Is it that Zhong Qing has too little treatment for Gu Zihan, or has he been disguising another face in front of him all these years? Zhong Qing never knew that Gu Zihan was such a person, he could do anything for money and power, he did not hesitate to step on the innocent Gu Xiu to go up, and even spoke disrespectfully to Gu Xiu.
At this moment, Zhong Qing's feelings for Gu Zihan for many years disappeared, she knew that she had seen the wrong person all these years, and the person who had always been dedicated to her heart had such an unbearable heart.
"You've been helping him since the day of the engagement party, what the hell is your relationship!" Gu Zihan grabbed Zhong Qing's arm and asked, "Could it be that you have hooked up a long time ago, and let me and Xiao Nian carry the black pot for you!?" ”
