Chapter 241: Familiarity
There are many things, even if you forget its existence, but its impact on you is deeply engraved in your bones, just like Gu Xiu who returned to Y-ing Group, he did not have any memory of corporate management, but when he held the documents of various departments in his hands, he had a special sense of familiarity.
Rachel propped her arms on the table, standing beside him, carefully observing his every expression.
"You...... Are you okay? ”
Gu Xiu gave Rachel a reassuring smile and said, "Well, I'm fine." ”
"Actually, you just returned to China, you can take a two-day break and come back to work." Rachel was still worried about Gu Xiu's physical condition: "You fight so hard, I'm worried that your body won't be able to stand it." ”
Gu Xiu didn't say anything, and continued to look down at the dense documents full of words.
Rachel carefully observed Gu Xiu's office, and each arrangement reflected what the owner's personality was like. Rachel and Gu Xiu have only known each other for a few months, and the two have not had any substantive relationship, so they have never kissed, and even a few times Rachel wanted to take the initiative, but Gu Xiu refused.
Rachel faintly felt that Gu Xiu was uneasy, maybe it was because he wanted to remember the past too much, the environment here was completely unfamiliar to him, he mustered up so much courage to return here, could it be that he also wanted to find the memories of the past?
The office is neatly placed, which proves that Gu Xiu was a rigorous and serious person, as the chairman of Y-ing Group and a man who can affect the economic lifeline of City A, he has not slacked off for a moment, and he works hard more focused than the employees below, a standard career-oriented man.
But such a man, willing to show tenderness in front of him that he had never been before, Rachel would get drunk just thinking about it. She has lived in a privileged environment since she was a child, and there are too many men and women around her who deliberately please her, she has seen a lot of hypocritical and ridiculous faces, and none of them are as sincere as Gu Xiu.
Even though she knew that Gu Xiu was a businessman, he was still shrewd and wise in his bones, and she wanted to see this man unload all his defenses in front of her, as if the whole world could only see her existence. Rachel knew she was indulging in her illusory dreams, but she would rather not wake up.
"Do you think you can lie to him for the rest of your life?"
Rachel had just walked out of Gu Xiu's office when she suddenly heard a cold voice next to her, and it turned out that Wei Lan had already stood by her side at some point.
Enduring the severe pain in his neck, Wei Lan gritted his back molars and said, "Aren't you afraid that one day he will remember, you won't end well!?" ”
Rachel clenched the cup in her hand, raised a confident smile, and said, "The person he likes is me, even if he remembers the past, what can he do?" ”
Wei Lan let out a "heh", and then said, "Do you really think that he likes you?" Miss Doctor, sometimes blind confidence kills people, you know? ”
Rachel pursed her lips, turned around and walked up to Wei Lan, raised her hand around his neck, and put it on the chip skin impartially, Wei Lan squinted at her.
"I don't know if blind confidence will kill people, but I know that some people talk too much, and they will definitely die quickly." Rachel had long known about Wei Qiushan's chip for Wei Lan, Wei Lan would not and did not dare to mention the past to Gu Xiu, and he would not let Gu Xiu remember everything in the past.
Putting down her hand, Rachel's hair flicked onto Wei Lan's face, and she left in style with her coffee cup. Wei Lan clutched his neck, sweat the size of a bean ran down his forehead, he kept panting, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
His hazy gaze was fixed on Rachel's back, he gritted his teeth unwillingly, and his body slowly fell uncontrollably against the wall. The roots of his teeth were grinding and bleeding, and the smell of blood filled his mouth, Wei Lan took a deep breath and calmed down, he picked up the documents on the ground and stood up, knocking on the door as if nothing had happened.
"Enter."
"Second master, this is the company's financial statements last month, please take a look."
Gu Xiu took the document in Wei Lan's hand, but he didn't open it directly, he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”
"Yes." Wei Lan admitted without hesitation: "I have something to hide from you, but I can't say it." ”
Gu Xiu squinted his eyes and said his guess: "Because of Wei Bai, right?" ”
"It's not just him."
After saying these four words, Wei Lan closed his mouth, Gu Xiu knew that he would not say it if he asked again, so he simply changed the topic.
"I saw that Y-ing Group and Longcheng University have a cooperative 'elite program', and the company has a special department responsible for training new university talents, and there is also a technology research and development department, what is going on?"
"This is the method you came up with in order to deal with the persecution of the Gu Group." Wei Lan replied truthfully: "You said that you want to realize the transformation of the company, but the plan has not yet been implemented, you left, I heard that Miss Zhong left those technicians in the company before, you can restart this project." ”
Hearing Zhong Qing's name, Gu Xiu frowned inadvertently, the strange thing was that he remembered every time he met Zhong Qing, he couldn't forget every word and expression she said, there was an emotion more complex than hatred that was always buried in his heart, what was it?
On the other side, in Q's studio, Zhong Qing stared blankly at the white screen, the brush in her hand did not move a bit, I don't know what she was thinking, she has been in a daze for most of the day.
"Is the director alright?" Another designer whispered to Mu Cheng: "I have been like this since I came back from Y-ing Group, and I haven't eaten or drunk for a day." ”
Mu Cheng looked distressed, but he could only comfort: "It's okay, it's okay, the director is just not in a good mood, you all do your own thing." ”
Chi Rui handed last month's online sales record form to Zhong Qing, who glanced at it hastily after coming back to his senses, and then put the document on the drawing board casually.
"The Sky City project is progressing smoothly, and the internationally renowned designer Ryan and the leading domestic designer Song Ran have collaborated to create a unique design ......."
In the next second, the employee watching the video closed the webpage in the reminder of the person next to him, and the whole studio was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.
Zhong Qing wanted to control everything, but in the end, she lost everything, she lost the opportunity to cooperate with Ryan, and also lost the most important man in her life.
Now she is synonymous with "femme fatale" in everyone's eyes, she is a well-known bad woman, she is a madman who can use any means to use men and kick him away for the sake of her superiority.
"Sister."
When she heard someone around her calling herself, Zhong Qing was relieved from her memories, it was already dark outside, and she was the only one in the studio with a light on.
"I'm fine." Zhong Qing barely held up a smile and said, "You go first, I'll pack up and go back." ”
Mu Cheng took Chi Rui's hand and left, and Zhong Qing lingered in the studio alone for a long time before picking up the bag and leaving slowly.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the streets of City A were full of traffic, some were stuck on the road when they came home from work, some came out of their homes to spend the night, and some were wandering in the crowd and didn't know where they were going.
Unfortunately, Zhong Qing belongs to the last type.
As early as a few years ago, she bought an apartment in her own name, and later reconciled with Gu Xiu to live in his house, Zhong Qing could buy or rent a house with the money in her hand, but for some reason, she wanted to live in a hotel more.
After leaving the Y-ing Group, Zhong Qing booked a hotel room, during which Gu Ziyu and Zhou Han persuaded her to buy a house, or there was a place in their names that could provide her with accommodation, but Zhong Qing refused.
I don't know why, now she is alone, rather than having a stable home, she wants to have that feeling of having no fixed place, the house can't give her a sense of security, and the person who once said that she would love her forever has also left her, and now Zhong Qing wants to abuse herself in this way.
The car stereo played the song "Say Scatter, Disperse", listening to it, Zhong Qing felt even more sad. Her car was stuck in the middle of the road, and in this bustling and lively city, loneliness invaded her limbs, and Zhong Qing felt more and more difficult to breathe.
She opened the window, ignoring what the owner of the Land Rover next to her was saying to her, her arms propped up her head, and the rhythm of the music was unmatched until the road cleared and the car began to move slowly.
Seeing a familiar car in the rear mirror, Zhong Qing silently stepped on the accelerator, and the car accelerated out.
The car drove to the parking lot under the hotel, Zhong Qing parked the car and just wanted to open the door, but saw the black sedan parked more than ten meters behind her, she was lying on the steering wheel angrily, but more than ten minutes passed, and the car still showed no signs of leaving.
The corners of Zhong Qing's mouth twitched, she opened the car door and walked directly to the car, looking at the man in the driver's seat, she was almost laughed at angrily-
"What, are you unwilling to take back the company and be your big boss? Drive me here at night, Gu Xiu, what do you mean! ”
Gu Xiu didn't speak, nor did he get out of the car, he just looked at Zhong Qing so straightly, the latter was almost mad by his silence, thinking of him in the past, and then looking at him who was indifferent now, Zhong Qing raised his foot and kicked the car hard.
"I'm a bad woman who ruined everything for you, are you satisfied!" Zhong Qing didn't know why she was so angry, she patted Gu Xiu's front car cover and said loudly: "You believe the words of that damn woman, you hate me so much that you want to kill me, right!" ”
Gu Xiu still looked at her so coldly, Zhong Qing felt as if she was playing the piano to the cow, she turned around angrily and wanted to leave, but heard Gu Xiu suddenly speak:
"Why?"
