Chapter 358 Curiosity about Him
Wang Yuanling raised his eyes and looked at him: "What's the important matter?"
"Zhou Zhenghai wants to deduct Manager Chen's performance due to non-cooperation. Manager Chen is very angry and wants to talk to you directly."
Wang Yuanling's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "If you don't want to see me, then just say that the internal management of the group is now mainly under the leadership of Zhou Zhenghai. He has been forced into a corner and reported the matter to the old man."
An Zhu immediately said: "Yes."
Before he left, Wang Yuanling said, "Cancel the other dinner appointments tomorrow night. I have other plans."
Yasuke: "Okay."
-
Before departure.
She had just gotten into the car and fastened her seat belt.
Gu Zhou sent a message: [Departing? ]
Wang Yuanling raised the corner of his lips and replied calmly: [Boss Gu, I'm just about to leave.]
Gu Zhou: [Come pick me up, I'm too lazy to drive.]
"Mr. Gu, are you coming to the barbecue tonight?" she sent a surprised emoji.
He replied: [No?]
Wang Yuanling had already imagined the casual expression on his face as he typed this sentence.
A faint smile formed at the corners of his eyes: [Of course, wait for me, I'll be there now, and I'll be there in about 20 minutes.]
Gu Zhou: [Yes.]
When you are almost at your destination.
She saw Gu Zhou from afar.
He stood tall in front of the main pillar at the entrance, his hands in his pockets, his eyes half closed, and his expression distracted.
Through the car window.
He looked over.
She smiled and nodded.
After he opened the car door, he smiled and said, "Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou glanced at the casual light purple dress she was wearing, which she had obviously changed into, and his eyes did not move.
He said in a casual tone: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ling." Then he bent down and sat down.
After he fastened his seat belt, she smiled lightly, seemingly unconcerned: "I thought Mr. Gu was not free to come today."
Gu Zhou glanced over and said casually, "How can I not come to this party to welcome my brother?"
Wang Yuanling pulled into the fast lane, his gaze still fixed on the road ahead. He smiled faintly, "It seems like you guys are really close. I heard you three were roommates in high school. What was Brother Zhou like back then?"
The curiosity about Tan Wenzhou in her words made Gu Zhou's brows pause slightly.
Two seconds later, he sneered: "Besides a nose and two eyes, what else can it be?"
I could tell he was beating around the bush.
She raised the corner of her lips slightly, pretending not to notice, and then continued to explore her 'curiosity' about Tan Wenzhou.
"Brother Zhou was very popular in college. He was handsome, had a good personality, and could play the piano. I think he was the same in high school."
Gu Zhou tilted his head to look at the passing road outside the car window and said perfunctorily: "I don't remember."
She didn't care and said gently: "Mr. Chen should remember it. I will ask Mr. Chen later."
Didn't turn around.
She already felt an extremely oppressive and hot gaze.
She slowed down slightly and kept a safe distance from the car in front.
Then he quickly turned his head and looked at Gu Zhou deeply.
She smiled: "What's wrong, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Zhou said in a low voice: "Are you curious about Wenzhou's past?"
She admitted frankly: "Well, I'm curious."
Gu Zhou's lips curled up in a playful arc: "You're so curious, why don't you ask in person later?"
She blinked her eyelashes and said, "Mr. Gu is right. It would be better if I ask him in person."
Gu Zhou didn't respond.
She took a quick look.
He turned his head to look out the window, nonchalantly, as if he was too lazy to answer.
She laughed silently.
Chen Guan ordered an outdoor camping-style barbecue, which had a row of beige awnings.
Under each tent, there are several independent leisure chairs surrounding a large table, and a professional charcoal grill is installed on the side.
When you look up while barbecuing, you can see a small bridge across the street hung with landscape lights, with a vast lake view below. After crossing the bridge, you will find a small single-family villa where you can live if you want.
When they arrived.
Chen Guan was already standing in front of the grill and started grilling with great interest.
Tan Wenzhou is helping.
I heard footsteps and looked up.
He smiled at them and said, "Azhou, Yuanling."
Wang Yuanling said gently, "Brother Zhou, you guys are here so soon?"
Tan Wenzhou smiled: "Well, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I came here early to light the fire."
Chen Guan shifted his gaze from the fire to her: "Hey, you're here? Why are you two here together?"
Wang Yuanling stepped forward and helped pass the raw meat skewers to Chen Guan, smiling faintly: "Mr. Gu didn't drive, I just gave him a ride on the way."
Chen Guan immediately looked at Gu Zhou, who came and sat down leisurely like a big boss.
Two seconds of doubt.
I thought he got it.
His eyes lit up.
When the first skewer was grilled, he was hurriedly brought to him.
Gu Zhou glanced at the greasy meat skewers and raised his eyes lazily.
Chen Guanzheng winked at him and lowered his voice, "I knew you had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You deliberately took Ling Zong's car, but in fact you were speaking well of Wenzhou in the car, right? Look at you, if you want to help, then help generously. Don't worry, if they succeed, I will say that you are the hero and I will never take the credit from you. Come on, take it, the first string is for you first."
Gu Zhou took it calmly, took a bite, and said meaningfully: "Just focus on grilling the meat. This skewer is overcooked."
Chen Guan laughed and scolded: "What a joke! I'm famous for my barbecue."
Gu Zhou sneered: "It seems to be an empty reputation."
Chen Guan choked: "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to create an opportunity for them."
Gu Zhou's thin lips moved.
Looking at Chen Guan who had turned back, he took out the key from his pocket, threw it to Tan Wenzhou, and said with a smile: "Hey, the drinks are all frozen in the villa. 2A1, Mr. Wenzhou Ling, please go over there."
Wang Yuanling smiled and replied, "Okay."
She raised her eyes to meet Tan Wenzhou's gentle smile and said softly, "Brother Zhou, shall we go?"
Tan Wenzhou replied, "Okay."
They walked towards the bridge side by side.
Gu Zhou glanced at her as she walked, and turned his head to look at Tan Wenzhou's smiling face.
A trace of boredom passed across his indifferent face.
-
Wang Yuanling turned his head and kept an eye on Gu Zhou.
His eyes stayed on her.
Heavy.
Hard to ignore.
The smile in her watery eyes deepened.
"Yuan Ling, are you tired after taking over the Wang family?"
Tan Wenzhou's gentle voice brought her attention back.
She smiled gently: "It was a little bit at the beginning, but then I got used to it and it was fine."
Tan Wenzhou's eyes behind his glasses were filled with admiration: "Ever since you were in the student union, you've always been very capable and handled things in an orderly manner."
"That's because you helped me."
Her eyelashes drooped slightly, a faint smile appeared on her pink lips, the hair beside her ears swayed with her movements, and her lavender dress fluttered in the wind. She was incredibly beautiful.
Tan Wenzhou's eyes were filled with tenderness: "No, it's because you are excellent."
She laughed and teased, "If Brother Zhou praises me again, I'll be carried away."
Tan Wenzhou smiled.
He took out the key and opened the iron door of the villa.
In front of the grill.
Chen Guan couldn't find any cumin powder, so he turned the meat over and yelled, "Hey, Azhou, can you see if the cumin powder is at the bottom of the box?"
No response.
He looked up in confusion.
Gu Zhou was looking at the villa area with no expression on his face.
