Chapter 268 The Cunning Little Fox

Chen Guan didn't have time to speak.

Wang Yuanling was the first to lower his eyes and said frankly: "Yes, after all, Mr. Chen is handsome and approachable, it's hard for anyone not to like him."

Chen Guan was flattered by the compliment: "Mr. Ling, you are too kind. It is my honor to be friends with a beautiful, smart and capable female entrepreneur like you."

"Mr. Chen, I feel embarrassed by what you said."

"By the way, thanks to the ginger soup you made that night, my hands and feet are warm after drinking it."

"That's good. I was worried you wouldn't be used to it, so I put a little too much ginger in it."

Watching them talking back and forth, getting more and more excited.

Gu Zhou pulled his lip and said lazily, "Excuse me, Mr. Ling, I'm hungry. Can the food be served?"

Wang Yuanling looked at him, a smile flashing across her watery eyes: "Sorry, Mr. Gu, please wait another five minutes, the food will be here."

Chen Guan looked at Gu Zhou's lazy but sharp expression with some surprise.

Not even five minutes yet.

The food is served.

No surprise.

Everything ordered was Gu Zhou’s favorite.

He glanced at the dazzling array of fresh sushi on the wooden table and sneered, "Boss Ling has done a lot of homework."

They are all his favorite foods.

It seems that Guan Zhen has given his all to help.

He raised his dark eyes.

As a result, Chen Guan felt so guilty that he didn't even dare to look at him.

"Mr. Gu." Her light voice drew his attention away.

"The biggest feature of this restaurant is the freshness of the ingredients. They are caught in the sea and delivered directly to your table. You should try it."

Her watery eyes fixed on him.

Her long nails pressed against the edge of the plate.

She pushed it towards him and said with a sincere smile: "I hope it suits your taste."

Gu Zhou's eyebrows moved slightly.

Finally, he said something to save face: "Boss Ling picked it specially, I think it can be very good."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your recognition." The warm light cast by the overhead styling lamp made her skin look even more creamy and her facial features more refined and elegant. However, the teardrop mole under her eyelids added a layer of charm to her lively smile.

It's so beautiful that it's hard to take your eyes off it.

Gu Zhou glanced with his dark eyes.

I saw Chen Guan looking a little dazed and stupid.

He tapped the table with his fingers.

Chen Guan suddenly woke up as if from a dream.

Look at him quickly.

Gu Zhou smiled and said, "You ordered these dishes, don't you want to try them?"

Chen Guan heard the accusation of betraying his intention in his words, and hurriedly laughed and played dumb: "I just offered some small suggestions. We should thank Mr. Ling for such a sumptuous meal today."

Wang Yuanling said gently, "You're welcome. As long as you enjoy your meal, I'm happy too. Please enjoy it."

Gu Zhou picked up his chopsticks.

I picked up a piece of scallop sushi and took a bite.

So fresh that it makes your eyebrows fall off.

He ate a few more without realizing it.

I caught a glimpse of a gaze out of the corner of my eye.

He paused chewing, raised his dark eyes and met her smiling face.

Gu Zhou's pupils froze for a moment.

He immediately looked away and reached out to pull out a piece of paper.

She seemed to be able to understand his thoughts.

He took out a piece of paper and handed it to him with both hands.

Then he leaned over and filled the cup of matcha to 80% full, making it easy to hold and not hot.

That's really thoughtful.

It's not about flattery or trying to please.

It is comfortable and considerate.

He suddenly thought of how Chen Guan described her: virtuous and kind.

There's no rebuttal this time.

Gu Zhou stared at her for two seconds with his dark eyes.

"Thank you." He took it and was about to wipe his mouth.

A faint woody floral scent penetrates the tip of the nose.

Maybe it was because the perfume got on her fingertips when she sprayed it, so even the paper she touched was stained with some of the scent.

His dark eyes darkened.

I unconsciously took a deep breath of the faint fragrance.

His gaze once again fell on her as she took small bites of sushi and answered Chen Guan's casual chat, with her fist against her lips. Even her eating manners were so quiet and elegant that there was nothing wrong with her.

It seems that everyone's praise for her...is not false.

When she put down her chopsticks.

He said with a natural expression, "Mr. Chen, I heard that you recently won a big bid. Congratulations."

Chen Guan immediately said: "What a big bid! The profit is not even one tenth of the land you won. I really envy you for being able to win this lucrative piece of land. It will be smooth to develop it."

Wang Yuanling smiled faintly: "It's not entirely smooth sailing. I've been worrying about this lately."

Gu Zhou took a sip of hot matcha, lowering his eyes lazily, his inner emotions unrecognizable.

Chen Guan was surprised: "Worried? Such a good piece of land, how can you still worry?"

Wang Yuanling cast her watery eyes at Gu Zhou. "The main thing is, a lot of people have approached me, wanting to jointly develop a commercial center with me, and I have other ideas in mind. But the people who want to cooperate with me are endless, and everyone's conditions are so high that I am a little shaken."

Chen Guan followed her lead: "Hey, aren't you going to build a commercial center on that piece of land? What do you want to develop it into?"

That’s a very good question.

It was so good that Wang Yuanling naturally came up with the idea: "I want to build it into a landmark health city."

Chen Guan pointed at Gu Zhou and said, "Health and medical care are closely linked. Isn't the person sitting opposite you the most suitable partner?"

Gu Zhou finally raised his dark eyes, a faint smile playing on the corners of his lips.

She endured it all night.

So you're waiting here.

Wang Yuanling looked embarrassed and chuckled, "Yes, I also think that Mr. Gu is the most suitable candidate for cooperation. Unfortunately, Mr. Gu doesn't think much of my land, and he is not interested in the cooperation plan I proposed."

She had just finished speaking.

Gu Zhou received a look of astonishment from Chen Guan, which asked, "Are you crazy?"

He didn't realize at all that he was being used as a gun by the little fox.

Gu Zhou's lips curled up slightly, and he spoke calmly: "I remember, I said I would think about it."

Wang Yuanling agreed with a crooked look in her eyes: "I thought Mr. Gu was rejecting me in a subtle way."

Gu Zhou said nonchalantly: "But, Mr. Ling, I have a question that I'm curious about."

Wang Yuanling straightened his thin back, his eyes filled with concentration. "Mr. Gu, please speak."

"I'm not the only one doing medical work. Why did you choose me?"

He looked into her dark eyes, and his laziness turned into coldness in an instant.

Like a bottomless dark river, dark and unclear.

It seemed as if she just told a lie.

He would know immediately.

Wang Yuanling curled her fingertips slightly. Even though she was nervous, her voice remained calm and smooth, without a trace of panic. "To be honest, I've read many of Mr. Gu's past success stories, and they all prove that my decision to choose Mr. Gu was correct."

Gu Zhou wasn't so easy to coax. He raised his eyebrows and got deeper into the topic: "Oh? What case?"

Wang Yuanling briefly described several cases smoothly and fluently.

The author clearly points out Gu Zhou's choices and decisions behind each case.

Chen Guan was amazed after hearing this, and secretly winked at Gu Zhou, as if saying: Look what I said, human spirits are always powerful!

Gu Zhou turned a blind eye.

Those deep black eyes were fixed on her face for an instant.

This little fox.

It was indeed more powerful than he expected.

Wang Yuanling had been observing Gu Zhou's expression. Seeing that he was slightly surprised, the corners of her lips raised even more.

Summary: "In summary, I believe Mr. Gu is the most suitable partner for me to develop this project. However, this is of course just my personal wish, and you, Mr. Gu, have the right to refuse."

This sentence.

Put him directly on a high position.

Make him feel that if he rejects her.

That is the thinking of an unforgivable, ungrateful, and blind fool.

Gu Zhou smiled and raised his eyebrows casually: "Since you want to cooperate, then give me the specific plan."

Wang Yuanling was confused.

Her watery eyes immediately shone like pearls.

Gu Zhou curled the corner of his lips, his eyes filled with interest.

Work with him.

Why so happy?
