Chapter 327 She is not suitable for you

As soon as I returned to Gu’s house.

An Lianhe busied herself in the kitchen.

Gu Zhou lazily sat on the sofa, with the hem of his suit folded up at his waist.

He casually threw the lighter onto the coffee table. When the metal collided with the glass, there was a crisp sound. His eyelids were half closed, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he fell into thought.

"Azhou is back?" A mellow male voice came from the door.

"Yes, sir, the young master just came back."

Gu Zhou listened to the footsteps.

He raised his dark eyes and stood up casually.

Opposite the entrance stood Gu Zhen, who was dressed in a neat, seamless dark Tang suit. His gray-white temples were like the edge of a sword tempered by snow, making his eagle eyes look even sharper. He was so awe-inspiring that he could even glance at people without even getting angry.

Gu Zhou shouted, "Dad."

Gu Zhen looked at him and said, "Sit down."

The father and son sat facing each other.

They are all the same and don't like to talk.

The antique hall is even more quiet.

The only movement was the slight sound of the red sandalwood Buddhist beads being twisted in Gu Zhen's hand.

Suddenly it stopped abruptly.

Gu Zhen spoke first: "Is the group preparing a new project recently?"

Gu Zhou said lazily, "Yes, there are new projects. The largest one is the Health City developed in cooperation with Wang's."

Gu Zhen asked, "Why did you think of cooperating with Wang's?"

Gu Zhou raised the corners of his lips and said, "Actually, I don't care whether he's from the Wang family or some other family. I only look at the project's own merits. This project will benefit the Gu family, not harm them, so I invested."

Gu Zhen's eyes were sharp. "I heard that the current CEO of Wang Corporation is the adopted daughter they adopted earlier? She should be younger than you. Does she have the ability to develop?"

"She has it." Gu Zhou said in a flat tone.

Gu Zhen frowned, his eyes narrowing suddenly, revealing a sense of oppression that would frighten people to the point of confessing guilt: "You think highly of her."

But Gu Zhou's expression remained the same: "I'll just talk about the facts."

Finally, a hint of sternness flashed across his dark eyes, but his posture remained as lazy as ever, with his long legs folded. "It sounds like you don't think highly of her. Did she offend you?"

At that time.

An Lianhe came out with a plate of cut fruit. Seeing Gu Zhen, she was a little surprised: "Didn't you say there was a traffic jam? I thought it would take you another half an hour to get home."

Cleverly and naturally interrupted their conversation.

Gu Zhen took the fruit plate and placed it in the middle of the table: "The driver took a shortcut."

An Lianhe understood and pushed the fruit plate towards Gu Zhou: "Come, Ah Zhou, these fruits were just picked from the backyard, come and try them."

Gu Zhen said, "Azhou and I need to talk about something first."

An Lianhe understood his intention to get rid of her and smiled, "Okay, you two can chat while I go to the kitchen to see how Aunt Hua is preparing."

After saying that, she left.

The father and son faced each other again.

Gu Zhou smiled and said, "You called me back specially, is there something you want to say?"

Gu Zhen stared at him for a few seconds and asked, "Do you have a crush on the adopted daughter of the Wang family?"

Gu Zhou's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and the corners of his mouth curled up lazily: "Where do I start?"

Gu Zhen: "You don't have to use your business tricks on me. Don't forget, I taught you all these. You just need to tell me, yes or no."

Gu Zhou said nonchalantly: "I just can't understand why you think so."

Gu Zhen narrowed his eyes: "So you don't have a good impression of her?"

He was so stubborn that he was determined to get to the bottom of things.

Gu Zhou raised his chin slightly, and said casually, "No."

He added, "I only see her as a partner."

Gu Zhen's almost stern gaze passed across his face.

After making sure he saw nothing unusual, he softened his tone, but his scrutiny didn't slow down at all. "The Wang family is a dangerous place, and that girl is an adopted daughter of unknown origin. From every perspective, she's not suitable for you to marry. But since you're not interested in her, I don't need to worry about it. You've been busy developing the Gu Company for the past few years, but now that it's stable, it's time for you to settle down. I'll find someone who's a good match for you."

Gu Zhou was silent for two seconds, then smiled faintly: "You decide."

Gu Zhen then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and pushed the fruit plate in front of him: "Eat the fruit while it's fresh."

Gu Zhou sat up, leaned over, picked up a piece of pear and put it in his mouth.

When he was done chewing, he put his fork down.

It is too sweet.

No desire to eat a second piece.

Finish the meal.

Gu Zhen went upstairs for a nap.

Gu Zhou and An Lianhe entered the tea room to make some tea to relieve their greasy feeling after dinner.

The aroma of raw Pu'er tea permeates the air.

Gu Zhou stretched out his arm and filled the teacup in front of An Lianhe to six-tenths full.

The tea soup is clear and sways to the wall of the cup.

His deep black eyes lifted up and looked at her: "Mom."

An Lianhe took a sip of tea: "Hmm?"

"Do we have a feud with the Wang family?"

The teacup in her hand gradually became hot. An Lianhe put it down, looking a little unnatural: "No, why do you ask?"

Gu Zhou pursed his lips and spoke slowly, "You have a strong reaction to Wang's."

An Lianhe was stunned. She wanted to explain, but when she met Gu Zhou's unblinking dark eyes, she sighed and stopped hiding. "I don't know the details. I only know that your father almost broke up with your uncle because of the Wang family. That Wang Si L is a ruthless person. So when I heard that you were Wang Si L's adopted daughter, I was worried that you would get into trouble."

Gu Zhou's eyes were full of mystery. "So you introduced her to Chen Guan and contacted Dad because you were worried that I would be with her?"

This her.

You must know it clearly.

An Lianhe was silent for a moment: "Mom can see that you have a good impression of her."

Gu Zhou took a sip of tea, which had cooled down a bit, but it was just right for his taste. He held the empty teacup and lowered his eyes: "You are mistaken. I only regard her as a partner. Apart from admiration, I have no other thoughts."

"But you have to keep your distance from her, otherwise I'm afraid you will fall for her without realizing it."

Gu Zhou put down his teacup, a casual smile on his face: "Don't worry, I have always been impartial in my work. Cooperation is cooperation, and there won't be any unnecessary changes."

An Lianhe replied after a while: "Okay, Mom believes you can tell the difference."

-

Wang family.

Since returning from H Province.

Wang Yuanling was busy dealing with the heavy workload and social engagements, and his schedule was full seven days a week.

The purpose of the social event: 1. To cultivate relationships; 2. To formally appear in person as Wang's CEO;

Some people also asked curiously: "Hey, Master Zu is no longer in charge of things?"

Wang Yuanling smiled and used her prepared words: "He is now mainly responsible for developing overseas markets, and I will be responsible for domestic markets."

If someone knew that Wang Yaozu left because he got into trouble, they would help to talk him out of it and ask him not to ask any more questions.

Drinking is inevitable in every game.

After drinking for seven consecutive days.

She felt like her stomach was full of alcohol.

Finally finished the last social event.

Her high heels fluttered on the concrete floor.

An Zhu hurried to help.

Wang Yuanling smiled at him and waved: "I'm fine."

An Zhu sighed and spoke up for her, "You're working yourself to death here, expanding the Wang Corporation's business, while Zhou Zhenghai and his bunch of idiot executives are just so busy, eating, drinking, having fun, and signing contracts all day long. You don't know, but when I went to the finance office today and saw his expense report for last month, my eyes went black. Do you know how much he claimed?"

An Zhu made a furious gesture and gnashed his teeth, "200,000! Mr. Ling! That's my annual salary!"

Wang Yuanling's alcohol-stained eyes flashed with a smile: "Are you complaining to me about the low salary?"

An Zhu was stunned and shook his head like a rattle. "No, no, Mr. Ling, in addition to the basic salary, you also give me subsidies in various aspects. I know that my ability is not fully worthy of this high salary. I am not as good as my brother. It's purely because of your kindness. Money is one thing. If it weren't for you, the two of us brothers would have already..."

He said, paused, and sighed: "If only my brother came back, he could help you block the wine."

Wang Yuanling chuckled, "He's abroad, helping me monitor Wang Yaozu's movements, and also getting a doctorate to improve himself. This is more important than blocking the drinking."

An Zhu sighed again, his voice filled with gratitude: "In short, without you, there would be no brothers like us. No matter if it means climbing a mountain of sword or diving into a sea of ​​fire, as long as you say a word, we will definitely go through fire and water!"

Wang Yuanling stood up straight, patted his shoulder, and said sincerely: "Thank you for being willing to stay by my side and help me."

She felt a slight ache in her stomach, but it quickly disappeared.

So I didn't care.
