On Monday morning, He Ting went to the headquarters of He Group to report the progress of the work to He Liancheng.

“…… The project land for the playground has been approved, and the construction will be carried out according to the original plan, and I will let the engineering department and the publicity department continue to follow up. The quality problems caused by imported drugs in Hospital X have been properly resolved. The hotel acquisition is in the process of being put to the foreground, and the hotel remediation plan has been finalized. The water conservancy project in country F is a welfare project that can enhance the corporate image and facilitate our future plans to build a factory in country F. I will personally negotiate with ZF this week to win the project......"

He Liancheng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How is your clothing company, I heard that the sales have not been good recently?" ”

He Ting replied seriously, "In the past, retail sales declined due to problems caused by the quality of clothing, and I have contacted several large distributors and overseas sales channels to try to make up for the losses at this stage. ”

He Liancheng nodded, and said earnestly, "I know that you have always been capable, but the group's projects are enough for you to be busy, and there are some less important things that can be put aside." ”

He Ting knew that He Liancheng's so-called less important things were H.G.

Although H.G belongs to the group, He Ting only founded it a few years ago. In He Liancheng's view, it is in the nature of playing tickets. He didn't expect He Ting to be so concerned about this company, not only did everything himself, but also actively prepared to enter the international market.

He Liancheng has reminded He Ting many times that he is not only the general manager of H.G, but also the vice president of the group. He should focus on the group's affairs and not focus too much on the company.

He Ting said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”

He Liancheng sighed and said slowly, "I'm afraid that you will work too hard, your uncompetitive brother only knows about the archaeology of the world all day long, and he doesn't care about the family's business at all." He also didn't want to think about how much money his archaeological team needed every year, and who gave him it? ”

He Ting smiled, "My brother has his own life plan and hobbies, and you should support him." ”

He Liancheng said, "I'm just complaining, when did you not support him?" Isn't it up to you to choose what you like? Stinky boy, it seems that I forced you to do business, don't you like to make money? ”

He Ting replied again and again, "Yes, this is my own choice. ”

He Liancheng seemed to be in a good mood, and said to He Ting, "Okay, come back for dinner in the evening, your brother will come back this afternoon." Oh yes, I heard you had a girlfriend? If it's convenient, bring it back for a meal together, you're not too old, it's time to think about personal problems. ”

He Ting was a little helpless, and took Gu Wan home for dinner? He thought, but this task is a bit daunting.

When they were eating together at noon, He Ting sent an invitation to Gu Guan.

Gu Wan didn't think about it, so he directly refused, "It's not suitable, we haven't developed to the point where we want to meet our parents, right?" ”

He Ting immediately retorted, "What's inappropriate, our family of four, except for my father, you've seen it all." ”

Gu Wan was speechless for a while, the time she spent with He Ting was not long, counting the past and now. But he was first approached by his mother, and his brother pretended to be her brother to help her hold a parent-teacher conference, so he really had seen her parents a long time ago.

But she still refused, "I made an appointment with Tang Tang in the evening, which is really inconvenient." I'll visit you next time I have time. ”

Although the politeness of the refusal was tactful, the "next time there is time" postponed this matter indefinitely, and He Ting couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, Gu Wan still couldn't escape He Ting's clutches in the end, because when he got off work, He Ting's brother He Chen came to pick them up in person, and Gu Wan couldn't refuse anymore.

Although He Ting and He Chen are half-siblings, He Ting has been accepted into the He family since birth, and He Chen, who is four years older than him, helped bring them up. Although He Chen hated Guan Min, He Ting and Guan Min were not close, so the relationship between the two brothers who had cultivated since childhood was not affected.

Gu Wan hadn't seen He Chen for ten years, and he couldn't recognize him.

He Chen, like He Ting, was born tall, but unlike He Ting's hard and resolute eyebrows, he appeared more elegant and bookish. But now it seems that Xu is because he has been exposed to the wind and sun in the wild all the year round, which makes him seem more vicissitudes, and he is wrapped in a sense of decadence and beauty of a wandering artist.

As soon as He Ting saw He Chen, he stepped forward and gave him a bear hug.

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, He Ting raised his eyebrows at He Chen, and whispered, "Brother, you are really my god assist." ”

He Chen curled the corners of his lips lightly, "It's good to allocate more archaeological funds for me next quarter, I want to buy another off-road vehicle, and add some imported equipment." ”

He Ting agreed. "No problem."

After the two of them finished speaking, Gu Wan had a chance to interject, and she politely said to He Chen, "Mr. He, hello, long time no see." ”

He Chen smiled, "Why are you so outside, just follow Xiao Ting and call me brother as before." ”

Gu Wan used to do a lot of things, but now she felt a little embarrassed, but she still called out kindly, "Brother He Chen." ”

He Chen replied with a smile, "Well, let's go, let's get in the car." ”

Gu Guan was also worried that coming to He's house would cause unpleasantness to see Guan Min, but she found that Guan Min was not at home.

He Ting secretly told her, "Dad found out about her going out to mess around, so he sent her abroad." She spent her money happily, and all her husbands and sons were forgotten. ”

When He Ting said this, he didn't have any emotion, he didn't seem to care, and he seemed to have been used to it for a long time. But the loneliness in his eyes was still captured by Gu Guan, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so she held his hand and squeezed it gently to show comfort.

He Ting held back the joy in his heart, and was about to say something more to win Gu Guan's sympathy and concern, when He Liancheng came down from upstairs.

Gu Wan hurriedly let go of him and stepped forward to greet him, "Uncle He, hello, I'm Gu Guan." ”

He Liancheng looked at Gu Wan from head to toe quietly, and said with a smile, "You are Gu Guan, I often hear Xiao Ting mention it, you are really a good girl." Come on, let's move on to the restaurant. ”

The He family's house is very large, although there are few masters, but there are many servants, cooks, nannies, bodyguards, doctors, drivers, etc., adding up to dozens of people.

There are also two restaurants, and the large dining room is spacious and luxurious, which is used for banquets. The small restaurant is usually used by the family, which is practical and warm. He Liancheng didn't treat Gu Wan as an outsider, so he led the person to the small restaurant.

After a few people sat down, the servants served the dishes in turn, and He Liancheng said to Gu Wan enthusiastically, "Eat whatever you like, don't see outside, treat it as your own home, and be at ease." ”

Gu Wan smiled back, "Thank you, Uncle He." ”

He Ting really didn't see it, he sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Gu Wan, and he still picked the thorns before sending it over.

Gu Wan is usually used to being taken care of by him, so he doesn't feel anything. But at this moment, in front of his family, he is still so attentive, which can't help but make her feel a little embarrassed.

He Liancheng has a slight side-eye, He Ting has been pampered by him since he was a child, and others have taken fish bones for him, when has he taken care of others like this? This stinky boy usually doesn't seem to be approachable, but he didn't expect to have such a day.

Gu Wan didn't know what He Liancheng was thinking, she gave a chopstick to He Ting, and whispered, "Don't be busy, you can eat it too." ”

Gu Wan served him vegetables, it was really something that had never happened before, He Ting's cheekbones rose unconsciously, his heart was sweet, and he wanted to hug her and kiss her.

He Liancheng looked at the affectionate appearance of the two people, and he didn't feel that the smile deepened, so he talked to Gu Guan kindly, "I heard that you work in H.G, you are a fashion designer, and you have won many awards. ”

Gu Wan immediately replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

He Liancheng praised, "Yes, young and promising, and so ambitious." ”

Gu Wan smiled, "You praised it falsely." ”

He Liancheng asked again, "What do you do at home?" ”

Come, meet the inevitable problems that parents will encounter, family background checks.

Gu Wan was about to answer, but was interrupted by He Ting, "Dad, let's eat quickly, the dishes are going to be cold." ”

As soon as He Liancheng saw He Ting's protective posture, he laughed twice, and followed his words and said to Gu Guan, "Okay, eat more." ”

Gu Wan put down his chopsticks and didn't intend to avoid this question, but replied seriously and calmly, "Uncle He, I won't tell you anything, my father was imprisoned for accidentally injuring someone, and my mother heard that she remarried a distant cousin of the He family a while ago. When I was a teenager, I went abroad on my own, cut off contact with my family, and I still haven't been in touch. ”

Gu Wan told the truth, and he didn't care what He Liancheng would think after learning about her family background.

He Liancheng still smiled unchanged after hearing this, and didn't seem to have any thoughts, "Oh, then don't talk about this, come, eat." ”

Next, He Chen told some archaeological anecdotes, He Ting and Gu Wan were very popular, He Liancheng seemed to be in a good mood, and the time for a meal passed quickly.

After dinner, Gu Wan was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by the He family's nanny, Wu's mother.

She handed Gu Wan a thermos bucket and said to her, "Miss Gu, this is dendrobium longan soup, which nourishes the stomach." I remember you used to like to drink a lot, so you made some, and I don't know if your taste has changed. ”

Gu Wan couldn't help but be a little flattered, she didn't expect that after so many years, a nanny of the He family could still remember her preferences so clearly.

Gu Wan hurriedly took it, "Thank you, I bothered you, I really didn't expect you to remember this." ”

Mother Wu smiled and said, "Because the second young master wants me to cook it for him every time he goes home, and he always says that this is what you like, so I remember it." ”

A strange feeling surged through Gu Wan's heart, if He Ting said this to her, she would not believe it, but it was different when it came out of someone else's mouth.

She couldn't help but have self-doubts, what He Ting, whom she had been trying to deny, had never forgotten her, maybe it was true?

In a daze, He Ting had already changed his clothes and went downstairs. He took the thermos bucket in Gu Wan's hand, helped her carry it, held her with the other hand, and went out after saying goodbye to Wu's mother.

After getting into the car, Gu Wancai asked, "Just now at the dinner table, you tried to interrupt your father's questioning, do you think that my family background will make you lose face, so you don't want me to tell him the truth?" ”

He Ting was confused by Gu Guan's unwarranted accusations, and he said in surprise, "Your family background is completely different from yours, I never felt that way, and my dad didn't care about this, I was just afraid that you would feel sad when you mentioned your parents." ”

It turned out that he stopped her not because he was afraid of losing face, but because he was afraid that she would think of sad things?

Gu Wan looked at He Ting's serious side face, and suddenly found that he in her inherent impression seemed to have become a little different.
