Chapter 18: Lunch
Gu Jiaxing knew about Gu Jiayin's injury, and it was already two days later. He has just joined his father's company recently, and he has a lot of work to study, and he is very busy every day.
He wanted to visit Gu Jiayin, but he was reluctant to visit Lu Zhai. Because there are too many people in Lu House, he is really tired of dealing with the intricate interpersonal relationships. So he took advantage of Gu Jiayin's follow-up visit to the hospital and ran to the hospital to see her.
As soon as Gu Jiayin saw Gu Jiaxing, she shouted in distress, "Why did you lose weight to be so virtuous?" Won't you have food at home? β
Gu Jiaxing is tall and has a big skeleton, and he usually looks very strong when he is a little fatter. But now he is a little thin and out of shape, and even the clothes that originally fit seem to be one size smaller.
Although his thin face made him more handsome and tough, Gu Jiayin just felt that the child had been wronged and had a bad life, and she was suddenly distressed.
Gu Jiaxing showed a helpless wry smile, "The company has been very busy recently, and I have to work overtime a lot, and I can't take care of eating." β
Although Gu Jiaxing has actively developed his career after graduation, he is still mostly playing tickets. His ability and experience in how to run a company is not enough.
According to Gu Jiayin's idea, when he entered Anwei, he should first go to the grassroots level to slowly familiarize himself with the company's business, so that there would be a buffer time.
But Gu Fengdong obviously couldn't wait, and wanted him to take over the company as soon as possible, so he directly arranged for him to be the vice president of the company, and threw all the company's affairs on him.
Shen Fanghua saw that although Gu Fengdong didn't seem to want to see Gu Jiaxing, he still attached so much importance to him, so he naturally couldn't hold back, and instructed his cronies and employees to embarrass him openly and secretly.
The complexity of the work already involved most of Gu Jiaxing's mental strength, coupled with the difficult interpersonal relationships, which made him even more anxious.
Gu Jiayin was also very convinced of Shen Fanghua, she only had Gu Kexin's daughter, but she had high hopes for her, and always wanted her to replace Gu Jiaxing, the only son of the Gu family, to inherit the family property, which can be regarded as a good practice of the idea of equality between men and women.
Before the sister and brother could say a few words, Lu Jingxiu pushed open the door and walked in.
He accompanied Gu Jiayin to a follow-up appointment, and just went to the doctor to get the medicine, and carefully inquired about some dietary taboos.
As soon as Gu Jiaxing saw him, he consciously called someone, "Brother-in-law." β
When Gu Jiayin heard this title, she couldn't help but express her deep contempt for Gu Jiaxing's doglegs.
Gu Jiaxing's still affectionate attitude made Lu Jingxiu feel a little better when he was snubbed by Gu Jiayin, so he said with concern, "Why did Xiao Xing lose so much weight, I'll eat something delicious later." β
Gu Jiaxing nodded in agreement.
Gu Jiaxing's acceptance of Lu Jingxiu is indeed much higher than that of Jiayin, after all, the incident did not happen to him, and he can't empathize. And as a homosexual, he has a little more understanding and tolerance for Lu Jingxiu.
Gu Jiayin's injury was not serious, she was just worried that it would leave a scar, so she specially took half a day off to come for a follow-up. If Gu Jiaxing hadn't come to see her, she would have gone back to the company directly after the follow-up, and she wouldn't have lunch with Lu Jingxiu at all.
On the way to the hotel, Lu Jingxiu dutifully reported to Gu Jiayin about the handling of her injury.
"The person who sent the courier has been found, and it is a fan of that Internet celebrity, who was instigated by her remarks, so he did this stupid thing. The liquid inside the doll is ammonia, but fortunately only a few drops are splashed on the arm, and if it is splashed on the face or eyes, the consequences are unimaginable. I have already sued him and the influencer for intentional injury and defamation, respectively. β
Gu Jiaxing's muscles burst out, and he couldn't help but wonder, "That Internet celebrity and my sister don't know each other, why do you want to do such a thing?" Sister, have you offended anyone? β
It's not impossible, the profession of journalist will inevitably offend some people.
When Gu Jiayin first entered the industry, she was suppressed because of her unyielding insistence on reporting the news that a powerful son committed a felony of rape but was sentenced to no sentence.
This matter is widely implicated, from the criminals to the judges, and to high-ranking officials from all walks of life, so that the leadership team of S City was changed because of this news.
Gu Jiayin became famous in the industry because of this, but she also lost her job because she was too upright. Fortunately, Times News was not afraid of the powerful, threw an olive branch to her, and hired her with a high position.
Therefore, it is very likely that the reason for being retaliated against is very likely.
Lu Jingxiu threw a heavyweight message to Gu Jiayin, "Dong Yan is a friend of Wenger. β
Gu Jiayin was a little surprised, she also felt that Dong Yan would provoke her, so there should be a little connection between them. It's just that she didn't expect that this connection was actually Wenger.
Gu Jiayin asked puzzledly, "Before that, I asked you who Dong Yan was, why didn't you tell me?" β
Gu Jiayin didn't suspect that Lu Jingxiu was deliberately concealing, but she was simply curious.
Lu Jingxiu replied lightly, "I wasn't sure if this matter was related to Wenger before, so I didn't tell you, so I didn't tell you if you thought too much and wanted to investigate it before telling you." But ......"
Lu Jingxiu paused, because he hadn't investigated this matter so far.
He was suspicious of Wenger, because Wenger was the only link between Gu Jiayin and Dong Yan, and he didn't believe it was just a coincidence. But he couldn't think of Wenger's motives for Gu Jiayin, and there was no evidence that Wenger instructed Dong Yan to smear Gu Jiayin's reputation.
Dong Yan denied that Wenger had anything to do with the incident, saying that her purpose was to create news to gain attention, and Wenger naturally would not admit that the incident was related to her.
Gu Jiayin felt that this matter was strange from the inside out, but she didn't think that Wenger would harm her because of this.
Wenger is Wen Zhan's sister and Lu Jingxiu's subordinate, although the two of them are not acquainted, they also know each other, and there is no injustice or hatred, Wenger has no reason to frame her.
So Gu Jiayin said to Lu Jingxiu, "Don't be suspicious of people, and don't be angry with Wenger because of this, she is very timid." β
The reason why Gu Jiayin feels that Wenger is timid is because almost every time she meets her, she looks like she is shrinking, and she doesn't even dare to look at Gu Jiayin, which always gives people the feeling that she has done something wrong.
So the last time they met in the hotel, Gu Jiayin wondered if there was any ulterior relationship between her and Lu Jingxiu.
Lu Jingxiu snorted disdainfully, he knew that Gu Jiayin would defend Wen Zhan like this because Wenger was Wen Zhan's sister, so he was very unhappy.
Gu Jiayin was inexplicable about his attitude, and didn't know where to provoke him, but she didn't bother to ask, so she stopped talking, and only Gu Jiaxing's voice was left in the car.
Lu Jingxiu had already made an appointment for the restaurant in advance and ordered food, and the three of them started eating as soon as they arrived. When eating, it was inevitable to mention Gu Jiaxing's recent situation again.
Lu Jingxiu was in a good mood when Gu Jiaxing's sweet-mouthed brother-in-law and eldest brother-in-law were short, so he also asked with concern, "How is Xiaoxing's work lately?" β
As soon as he mentioned work, Gu Jiaxing had a bitter face, and his appetite was not good, "Don't mention it, it's difficult." β
Gu Jiaxing is usually very embarrassed, if he is a few years younger, he can do such a thing as jumping up and down. But today he has been very calm, very tired of that kind of calm, and his smile is much less, and it can be seen that he has not been very happy lately.
Although Gu Jiayin didn't say anything, she still felt very sorry for her only brother, so she held chopsticks and kept picking vegetables for him.
Lu Jingxiu also encouraged him, "It is inevitable to panic when you just take over a new job, just wait for it to be easy." β
Gu Jiaxing nodded, "It's okay to talk about things at work, but I didn't expect that in our small company, interpersonal relationships are so chaotic." The old antiques in the company think I am embarrassed and always make things difficult for me everywhere, which is really heartbreaking. β
Speaking of this, Gu Jiaxing looked at Lu Jingxiu and humbly learned from him, "Brother-in-law, how did you get to the position of vice president in such a short period of time when you entered Shenghui's work, and you can still be so convincing?" β
Lu Jingxiu smiled and replied casually, "It's good to make some achievements to gag their mouths." β
Gu Jiaxing poked the rice in the bowl and complained in a complaining tone, "I think so too, but do you know, Dad actually gave me the name of the cooperation he had negotiated, saying that I talked about it, and I was really angry with him." β
Gu Jiayin stretched out his chopsticks and knocked on his head, and said to him, "You really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, what's wrong with ready-made, use it for prestige first, and then take your time." You have the ability and will always be recognized, so why rush at this time? β
Gu Jiaxing held his head high, looking stubborn and uninsulting. He was a proud child, and of course he disdained to steal the fruits of other people's labor, and he wanted to conquer those people with his own strength.
But Gu Jiayin actually asked him to use the cooperation that his father talked about as his own to establish his authority, so he felt that this prestige would not be established. He looked at Lu Jingxiu unconvinced, hoping to get his approval.
Who knew that Lu Jingxiu had the same attitude as Gu Jiayin, "What your sister said is right, there is really no need to be rash, the most important thing is to keep the power in your hands first, so that you can have the opportunity to show your strength in the future." β
Hearing Lu Jingxiu say the same, Gu Jiaxing couldn't help but feel a little deflated, and began to reflect on whether he was really naΓ―ve.
When Lu Jingxiu spoke, he was sandwiching a piece of fish meat and putting it on the plate, and after carefully removing the thorns, Fang sandwiched it into Gu Jiayin's bowl again.
Gu Jiayin was used to being taken care of by Lu Jingxiu during meals, and she knew that the fish he gave her must have no thorns, so she naturally picked it up and ate it directly into her mouth.
Gu Jiaxing silently watched the interaction between these two people, while thinking that he also had to learn this kind of moisturizing and silent care from Lu Jingxiu, so that he could pick up girls. On the other hand, he secretly sighed that his sister wanted to get rid of him as a brother-in-law, which seemed to be not an easy task at present.
Habits are terrible.
