She looked up at him and smiled speechlessly and awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I forgot to pour you a glass of water." ”

"It's fine."

Gu Xicheng didn't care, he took a sip of water slightly, and then asked, "Manqing, have you ever thought about coming back to Xinsheng to work?" ”

"Uh......"

She cupped her forehead, remembering her father's tough attitude, and her heart was even more at a loss.

I don't know what the situation of the Shen family is now, so she doesn't know how to start at all, but Shen Xiuguo has that attitude.

Seeing the helplessness on her face, Gu Xicheng spoke again:

"If you don't come back to Xinsheng to work, as my assistant, I can help you."

As soon as the words fell, he pulled a check out of his coat pocket and handed it to her.

Shen Manqing looked at the check in his hand, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart.

"This ......"

Shen Manqing did not accept the check immediately, but stared at the check in deep thought.

Seeing this, Gu Xicheng directly put the check into her hand: "Although 20 million is not a lot, it should be able to help you." ”

"It's not a small amount for you."

Although Xinsheng has done well in the past two years, it is indeed a little difficult for him to come up with this huge number in a short period of time.

Gu Xicheng could see the reason for Shen Manqing's hesitation, and he smiled gently: "It's okay, the money company will earn it back, don't worry." ”

Although he said this, he didn't think so in Shen Manqing's heart: "With so much money, how long will it take to earn it back." ”

"Manqing, in fact, this money is nothing to me, you don't have to feel guilty, you have to think about it, your life was almost ruined in my hands, so this money should be regarded as my compensation to you!"

Shen Manqing clenched her palms, she didn't want to drag him into the water, but at present, there was really no other way to solve the problem except money.

She raised her head and looked at him with a grateful and firm gaze, "Thank you, I will pay you back the money!" ”

Gu Xicheng smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter, as long as you're happy!" ”

Hearing the meaning of his words, Shen Manqing squeezed out a smile at the corner of his mouth a little stiffly, and thanked him again: "Thank you, Mr. Gu." ”

"Don't be so polite to me."

Looking at her fair smiling face, Gu Xicheng sighed in his heart.

It's been a long time since I've seen her smile.

This is a memory that belongs to his youth, but I don't know when it started, and that childlike face has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow.

Now in the face of such a face, he has a feeling that he can't put it into words.

--

Two days later, Shen Manqing was sitting on the sofa in Gu Xicheng's office, quietly sorting out a document.

Dressed in professional attire, her whole temperament looks a little more capable.

The phone next to him rang suddenly.

She took it and took a look, saw that it was her father calling, and then thought about it and pressed the answer button.

"What did you call?" Shen Manqing's tone was a little stiff.

For his approach, she still can't accept it after all.

"Manqing, I've already received the money, thank you!"

Shen Manqing frowned, holding the pen in one hand and the mobile phone in the other, listening to Shen Xiuguo's polite tone on the other end of the phone, he suddenly mentioned it in his heart.

Remembering that the check for 20 million was still in his hand at the moment, how could he receive the money?

"Dad, you said you received the money?"
