Chapter 40: She's exactly like when you were younger
Ye Zhu was a little uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by Gu Xiao.
She really couldn't figure out why Gu Xiao deliberately pretended to be affectionate.
Howard looked at Gu Xiao with more appreciation, and then said: "It's rare for an entrepreneur like Mr. Gu to be successful, but also to be so good to his wife, it's really rare!" ”
Gu Xiao smiled and nodded, "I can't succeed without the support of my wife." ”
After that, he also glanced at Ye Zhu affectionately.
Ye Zhu immediately got goosebumps when she saw it, but she finally understood why Gu Xiao suddenly did this to herself, this is a persona!
Howard nodded, "It's so good, it's rare for you young people to have such thoughts!" ”
"It's all about learning from Mr. Howard."
"Mr. Gu is too modest, I heard of your name when I was abroad, and it is very admirable that you have the courage to start your own company at a young age, but I didn't know that there was such an excellent virtuous helper behind Mr. Gu."
After Howard finished speaking, he looked at Ye Zhu and asked curiously, "How did Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu meet?" ”
Ye Zhu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Gu Xiao for help, but Gu Xiao didn't seem to be planning to help, so he didn't look at Ye Zhu at all.
Ye Zhu could only lie: "We knew each other when we were very young. ”
Howard seemed to be interested, and said: "In your country, is this called a childhood sweetheart?" ”
Ye Zhu smiled, he didn't expect this foreigner to know quite a lot, "Yes, that's right." ”
Howard seemed very proud, "It seems that I am not wrong, I am very interested in the culture of your country, but I often use the wrong words, which is too difficult for me." ”
"But so far, Mr. Howard hasn't used a word wrong!"
Howard was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, and the two of them came and went very well to talk.
Ye Zhu also gradually felt that this drinking party was not completely uninteresting.
The two of them talked about the culture of various countries all the way to history, but most of the time Howard was listening, and he seemed quite interested.
This turned into Gu Xiao being hung aside.
Ye Zhu didn't know how long he had been chatting, and he didn't stop until Gu Bei and his wife arrived.
"It's rare to see Mr. Howard have such a happy conversation."
Huo Dehua nodded, "Miss Ye is very funny, and we are very close to each other. ”
Gu Bei was stunned, and glanced at Ye Zhu with some astonishment, Peng Jingxian looked unconvinced, how could she let Ye Zhu steal her limelight.
Peng Jingxian took the initiative to stretch out her hand, "Hello Mr. Huo Dehua, I am Gu Bei's wife, Peng Jingxian." ”
Huo Dehua stretched out his hand politely, "Hello, I often hear Gu Bei mention you." ”
Peng Jingxian smiled, thinking about starting with the jewelry worn by Howard, she thought that men, especially successful people like Howard, would pay attention to this.
She glanced around and finally fell on the watch on Howard's wrist, and praised: "Mr. Howard really has taste, this watch looks so atmospheric." ”
Huo Dehua was really interested, and raised his wrist proudly, "Mrs. Gu also thinks it's extraordinary, right?" ”
Peng Jingxian nodded again and again, "Well, it's extraordinary at first glance, this should be a limited edition, I haven't seen it before." ”
Unexpectedly, Howard suddenly shook his head, "No! This watch isn't a limited edition or a brand, but it does mean a lot to me. ”
Peng Jingxian was a little nervous in her heart, and guessed: "This is what your father left you?" ”
"No, it was given to me by my lover."
After Huo Dehua finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye Zhu, "Miss Ye, what should I say about this initial gift?" ”
"Mr. Howard wants to say that this is a token of love?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's a token of love, it's worthless, but I'm reluctant to replace it all these years. ”
Howard said as he carefully wiped his watch.
Peng Jingxian glared at Ye Zhu coldly, and cursed in her heart, damn it!
She clenched her fists, trying her best to show herself, remembering the conversation between the two Gu Bei brothers when she entered the door, she had an idea and asked, "I heard that Mr. Huo Dehua came to discuss business this time, is there a suitable candidate?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence at the reception, and everyone's eyes were focused here.
Peng Jingxian was so nervous that her whole body froze, it was still lively just now, why was it so frighteningly quiet all of a sudden?
Gu Bei frowned, very dissatisfied, now everyone is staring at Howard's every move, how can Peng Jingxian ask such a question at this time!
Besides, the meaning of this drinking party itself is to give Howard the wind, which is all messed up.
Howard's face was a little cold, and he was also unhappy about this.
He said indifferently: "I think it's better to stay in the company and say that I still want to make some friends at the cocktail party, what do you think, Mrs. Gu?" ”
Peng Jingxian pursed her lips, she didn't expect it to develop like this, and grabbed Gu Bei's sleeve in fear.
Gu Bei hurriedly rounded the field, "Mr. Huo Dehua is right, this time I just let everyone make friends, Mr. Huo Dehua just came, he should be able to live for a while, right?" ”
Huo Dehua's interest was long gone, and his face was still gloomy, "I will stay for a few more days, it's not early today, I'll go back first, everyone have fun!" ”
Howard said that he wanted to leave, but no one dared to stop him, so he could only watch the protagonist of tonight's drinking party leave.
After he left, the atmosphere in the arena became dull.
Originally, they were here for Howard, but now that everyone is gone, there is no need for them to stay here.
Everyone left one after another, and some of them had chatted with Howard for a few words.
Some people have waited for so long, and they have not yet spoken to Howard and have begun to feel resentful in their hearts.
Before leaving, the eyes pierced Peng Jingxian like a sharp blade.
Seeing that the people were almost gone, even Gu Bei began to complain, "How can you ask directly!" ”
Peng Jingxian pouted, "I didn't expect things to be like this, I just wanted to help you ask!" What's wrong with that! ”
Seeing that Peng Jingxian didn't know anything about repentance, Gu Bei was even more annoyed, "I shouldn't have brought you here in the first place!" ”
After that, Gu Bei was so angry that he directly threw Peng Jingxian down and left alone.
Peng Jingxian clenched her fists tightly, her eyes began to redden, why did everyone blame her for the fault?
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then ran out in a hurry to catch up with Gu Bei's pace.
On the other side, Howard returned to the hotel, and a woman hugged him from behind, "What's wrong?" You don't seem to be very satisfied with today's reception. ”
Howard sighed, turned around and took the woman into his arms, and explained, "There is also satisfaction, I met a girl today, she is very similar to Lina when you were younger, and she speaks very similarly. ”
"Oh? You're saying I'm old now? ”
"How is it possible, you have always been young, by the way, have you found your daughter? Is she still in the city? ”
