Chapter 360: Men and women working together is not tiring

Wang Yuanling met those gloomy black eyes.

The corners of his lips curved slightly: "Sorry, Mr. Gu, I am indeed a little hungry, and I really don't have the energy to think about anything else."

Gu Zhou stared at her deeply.

After hearing this, Tan Wenzhou said hurriedly, "Then Yuan Ling, please wait for me for a moment. I'll cut it up quickly. Let's go back and eat. Xiao Guan should have grilled the meat and is waiting for us."

Wang Yuanling poked his head out, looking past Gu Zhou and towards Tan Wenzhou: "Yeah, it's okay, Brother Zhou, be careful."

Tan Wenzhou smiled: "Okay."

Gu Zhou said lazily, "I suddenly remembered that I have some business to discuss with Mr. Ling privately. Mr. Ling, shall we go out and talk?"

Wang Yuanling's lips opened and closed.

Under Gu Zhou's unblinking gaze.

Wan Xiao agreed: "Okay, Mr. Gu."

She looked at Tan Wenzhou and said, "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry for the trouble you took on cutting the vegetables by yourself. I'll be back to help you soon."

Tan Wenzhou smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's more important for you to talk about business."

Wang Yuanling glanced at Gu Zhou.

He had already reached the door.

But at this moment, he was looking back at her.

Obviously waiting for her to go out.

Wang Yuanling had no choice but to give Tan Wenzhou a faint smile before walking towards Gu Zhou.

They walked along the corridor.

Move forward.

Wang Yuanling's gaze shifted away from his broad back.

At the end is the back garden.

She was guessing.

He wanted to discuss some business with her.

Then he suddenly stopped.

Fortunately, she braked immediately.

Otherwise, I would have hit his back.

He turned sideways, his eyes fixed on her with interest.

Wang Yuanling's heart ached when he looked at her. She smiled faintly and said, "Boss Gu, what business do you want to discuss with me?"

Gu Zhou tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes examining her: "What is the significance of the jewelry set that President Ling specially gave me?"

Wang Yuanling's lips curled up, "So that's what Mr. Gu wanted to talk about. The jewelry set that my aunt liked was sold to me by a clerk due to a mistake. A gentleman doesn't take away what is loved by others, so I returned it to my aunt."

Gu Zhou curled his lips: "Isn't this word inappropriate? It should be a gift."

Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes and said again, "Yes, Auntie likes it, so I gave it to her."

Gu Zhou smiled faintly: "Six-figure jewelry is just a gift? Mr. Ling is really rich."

She said frankly: "I can't thank Mr. Gu enough for being willing to cooperate with me, let alone a mere piece of jewelry."

Gu Zhou stepped forward.

The distance between them shortened little by little.

The oppressive feeling came over me.

Wang Yuanling lightly clasped the fingertips that hung on both sides of his body, and remained motionless.

She raised her watery eyes and calmly met his sharp, judgmental gaze.

"So you're saying that you gave me this set of jewelry just to thank me? The reason is so simple? There's no other purpose?"

Wang Yuanling smiled sweetly: "Is Mr. Gu starting to doubt my motives again?"

Gu Zhou curled his lips: "There is no such thing as unprovoked behavior in the world, only motives to be discerned."

She was not afraid of his stern expression at all.

A pair of watery eyes looked at him, cunning surging in the bottom of them: "Then what do you think my motive is, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Zhou narrowed his dark eyes slightly, a sharp light flashing from his narrowed eyes: "Shouldn't Mr. Ling ask himself this question?"

She smiled faintly and avoided answering: "Do I look cunning in Mr. Gu's eyes? Why does Mr. Gu always doubt me?"

Gu Zhou curled his lips and said, "No reward without merit. I will return the jewelry to you at its original price."

She chuckled, "My aunt said that the jewelry set was to be given to her future in-laws. From what I can see, she seems very pleased with Miss Liu. I think this marriage is a done deal. So I simply wanted to congratulate Mr. Gu in advance on finding a good wife. Other than that, I have no other thoughts. Why should Mr. Gu be so reserved?"

Gu Zhou's face suddenly tightened, his dark eyes filled with sadness, and he taunted, "Do I look like I need money to buy jewelry?"

Wang Yuanling blinked lightly: "Yes, I do, but this is a small gift from me, I hope Mr. Gu will accept it."

Gu Zhou raised his lips, but the curve of his lips did not show in his eyes at all.

He spoke with great emphasis: "I appreciate your kindness, but it's not necessary."

Wang Yuanling feigned confusion: "Mr. Gu, do you think it's too cheap? If so, I can ask a famous jewelry designer to customize a new set."

Gu Zhou sneered, "Boss Ling, if you have this much free time, why not focus on your work? It's been two weeks and the budget still hasn't been drafted. Isn't this progress too slow?"

She looked at him.

The face that used to be nonchalant was now filled with coldness.

She knew when to quit.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I'll push for progress when I get back. The first draft will definitely be ready next week."

At that time, Tan Wenzhou's voice came from the other end of the corridor.

"Yuan Ling, A Zhou, how about you guys talk while we eat? Xiao Guan sent us a message urging us to come over."

Gu Zhou glanced at her coldly.

Walk past her and move forward.

There were two words engraved in capital letters on the back of his head: Unhappy.

Wang Yuanling raised the corner of his lips and slowly followed.

Return to Pengxia.

Chen Guan complained: "What have you been doing? If you're not actively eating, you have a problem with your brain, don't you know?"

Wang Yuanling smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, we were just chatting about something and it took us some time."

Chen Guan smiled at her: "I was just kidding, Mr. Ling."

She smiled and took the initiative: "Mr. Chen, let me grill it. You take a rest. You've worked hard."

Chen Guan waved his hand: "There are two men here, let them grill it, Mr. Ling, just sit and wait for the food."

Tan Wenzhou took the initiative: "Let me do it."

Wang Yuanling smiled at him and said, "Brother Zhou, let me help you."

Chen Guan looked at the harmonious appearance of the two of them and laughed: "Men and women work together, and work is not tiring. Thank you, Mr. Ling, for accompanying us Wenzhou."

Wang Yuanling smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, please have some iced drinks and take a rest."

After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to help Tan Wenzhou pass the skewers of food.

Tan Wenzhou took the dish and looked at her with gentle eyes: "Thank you."

Gu Zhou bit down the skewer of meat with force, but it tasted like chewing wax.

The empty seat next to him was sunk by Chen Guan's butt.

He nudged Gu Zhou with his elbow and lowered his voice: "Look at the two of them, they are such a perfect match."

Gu Zhou didn't respond.

Just chewing.

Chen Guan also picked up one and took a bite, chewing while saying, "If I had known earlier, I would have stopped you and let them cultivate their relationship in the villa without anyone else around. As soon as you went there, you were like a giant light bulb. You really are... why are you disturbing them for any reason?"

Gu Zhou glared at him coldly: "Try spitting again?"

Chen Guan tutted, "What's wrong with a little saliva? You city people are so picky."

Thinking of something, he slapped his head and said, "Tsk, I missed someone today. If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to bring your Yingying out. It would be a good opportunity for you two to cultivate your relationship."

Gu Zhou dropped the bamboo stick and said quietly, "So many things can't shut you up?"

Chen Guan chuckled: "I'm just thinking about you. You don't understand. The charm of barbecue is not in the food, but in cultivating relationships. For example, look at them."

He nodded gossipingly at Wang Yuanling and Tan Wenzhou. Gu Zhou glanced at them.

I saw them talking about something, but their smiles were so happy, as if they had endless things to say.

Then she considerately took out a tissue and handed it to him to wipe his sweat, but Tan Wenzhou was too busy with his hands.

He simply bent down and put his face closer to her.

That action obviously wanted her to help wipe it.

Gu Zhou stared at her without blinking.

It feels like there is a ball of cotton blocking my chest, making breathing difficult.

The next second, she saw her hand holding the tissue slowly move upwards.

Gu Zhou stood up suddenly.
