Chapter 131

In the evening, the two of them cleaned up the house from inside to outside. Because no one had lived there for a long time, the corners were covered with dust. After cleaning the room, Gu Cunxi went to take a shower. Xiao Peiyin was changing the sheets in the bedroom when she heard Gu Cunxi calling her again from the bathroom. She smiled, raised her lips, walked to the bathroom door, knocked on the door and asked, "What's wrong? Cunxi?"

The person inside did not respond. Xiao Peiyin waited at the door for a while. The shadow on the glass door was looming, outlining her better lines.

The door opened. Xiao Peiyin was about to speak when she saw a delicate white arm stretched out from the crack of the door. She was pulled suddenly. She staggered and uttered a "hmm" before falling into the warm embrace. She took off her clothes, exposing everything. The water drops on her neck slid all the way to her collarbone.

The hot air hit her cheeks, and the scenery in front of her made Xiao Peiyin blush instantly. She turned her head away suddenly, and the fragrance of shower gel filled her nose. Gu Cunxi looked at her blushing face, curled his lips and smiled softly, without saying anything. He put his hands around her waist and tightened them. One hand climbed up her back and around her chest. His slender fingers gently hooked the buttons, one by one.

From the bathroom to the bedroom, the bed sheet was half made, and she didn't bother to tidy it up, leaving it in a mess, letting her plunder until she was exhausted.

contented

The sheets were wrinkled beyond recognition. They showered together and tidied the bedroom. Xiao Peiyin leaned on Gu Cunxi's shoulder, thinking of what happened during the day. After hesitating for a long time, she spoke cautiously, "Is Fu Bowen's matter... because of me?"

Gu Cunxi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Pei Yin to ask this suddenly. She thought about it and nodded, then shook her head: "Yes and not entirely."

"He was prosecuted because he embezzled the company's money," Gu Cunxi said deliberately.

"So...do we have to file a lawsuit?" Xiao Peiyin thought for a moment and asked her

Gu Cunxi raised his eyebrows and looked at her sideways, his eyes full of tenderness. He stroked her cheek with his fingers and asked, "So... do you want me to withdraw the lawsuit?"

Thinking of Fu Bowen's embarrassed look, Xiao Peiyin didn't say anything. She originally thought that if he did this just because of Gu Cunxi, she would persuade him, but if it was for the company's interests, she shouldn't interfere. But when she thought of Fu Bowen's look, she felt sympathy again...

Gu Cunxi saw through Xiao Peiyin's hesitation and the entanglement in her heart. She reached out and hugged her in her arms, saying softly: "Even if you weren't there, I would still sue him. This is a matter of principle."

"Don't overthink it"

"What if... he is willing to pay back the money and apologize? You... won't..." Xiao Peiyin's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, and even she couldn't convince herself.

"No!" Gu Cunxi answered firmly, and after a pause, he said, "He asked you to face Wang Chen alone. He has bad intentions and has crossed the bottom line of my tolerance."

When Gu Cunxi said this, his tone was obviously a little colder. Xiao Peiyin nodded and said nothing more. He thought that everyone should be responsible for the mistakes they made. No one can escape.

…

Since Xiao Peiyin bought this house, the two of them have lived here almost every day, as if they were back to four years ago. Xiao Peiyin picked her up and dropped her off every day, so Gu Cunxi simply put his car in the garage and stopped driving.

The cooperation with Vanke Group was officially on track. Everything was going smoothly both in work and in relationships. However, Gu Cunxi was still unhappy. She felt like something was weighing on her heart. It was the regret that Chen Feng had left in her heart.

The information about Chen Feng was sent to her mailbox in the morning. As Gu Cunxi expected, many medium-sized and large enterprises in Jianghuai City had secret financial transactions with him.

"Mr. Gu, you're looking for me." Xiao Nuo stood by the door with a stack of documents and knocked.

"Hmm." Gu Cunxi turned his eyes away from the computer, looked at Xiao Nuo and said, "Go to a dinner party for me tonight."

Xiao Nuo was stunned for a moment, then walked in, nodded, and asked, "Who is the other party..."

"Deputy Director of the Land and Resources Bureau, Chen Feng"

Gu Cunxi handed over Chen Feng's basic information. Xiao Nuo took it and looked at it. Seeing her puzzled expression, Gu Cunxi explained, "The land owned by Wanfeng Real Estate has been reclaimed and is currently being put up for bidding."

Xiao Nuo understood and said, "You want to take this opportunity to build a closer relationship and get this piece of land?"

"Yes!" Gu Cunxi nodded. "This piece of land has high commercial value and a superior geographical location. Acquiring it is very important for the future development of the branch!"

Xiao Nuo looked thoughtfully, carefully read the information in his hand, nodded and said, "I understand what you mean."

"Take this with you." Gu Cunxi handed a pen to Xiao Nuo, and took out a small box from the drawer and handed it to her: "Find a chance to give this to him during dinner."

"Okay." Xiao Nuo took it doubtfully, opened it and took a look, then froze in his tracks: "Boss Gu, this..."

"Turn on the recorder before meeting him, and try to get him to take the initiative at the dinner table. Do you understand what I mean?" Gu Cunxi turned to look at her, his eyes deep.

"But, this is a bribe..." Xiao Nuo's voice was low, and the small box in his hand was like a hot potato.

"Yes," Gu Cunxi curled his lips and sneered, "Indeed."

She stood up, walked to the window, and turned her back to Xiao Nuo and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter delaying your future. Since I've asked you, I must have a way to prevent you from being affected. After this incident, I will hand over the position of general manager of the branch to you."

Xiao Nuo stood there, looking at Gu Cunxi's figure, speechless. She was not worried that this would affect herself, but she was puzzled as to why Mr. Gu did this. From the time Gu Cunxi came here until today, although he was sharp-tongued and ruthless at work, she always felt that Gu Cunxi was not the kind of businessman who would harm others.

Do you want to agree to...

Xiao Nuo was very hesitant. While she was hesitating, Gu Cunxi turned around and looked at her and said, "If you don't want to do this, I won't force you."

Between trust and suspicion, Xiao Nuo chose the former and decided to trust Gu Cunxi.

"I'm not sure if I can get him to say what you want, but I'll try my best. I'll see what happens during dinner!" Xiao Nuo replied.

As expected, Gu Cunxi didn't show any surprise. She nodded and took out something like a card holder from her pocket and handed it to Xiao Nuo: "Use this identity to get to know him."

There was a printed business card in the card holder, but the name on it was not Xiao Nuo, but a completely unfamiliar name.

Lu Qi

"Mr. Gu, this is a fake identity..." Xiao Nuo was at a loss.

"It will be real soon. This is a way to protect you. I will replace yours on the intranet."

Xiao Nuo was full of doubts, but finally nodded. She didn't know why, but she had a natural trust in Gu Cunxi.

"Don't you want to ask me something?" Gu Cunxi saw Xiao Nuo frowning and thinking, and took the initiative to say: "Before you walk out of this door, I will answer all your questions."

There was a long silence. To her surprise, Xiao Nuo said nothing. She just shook her head and said she would take care of it, then left.

…

In the evening, Xiao Peiyin came to the company to pick up Gu Cunxi as usual. She often appeared here during this period of time. People in the company gradually knew what was going on. It seemed that everyone's attitude towards her changed overnight.

Gu Cunxi did not mention to Pei Yin what he was about to do. Seeing that the time was approaching, he thought Xiao Nuo had already arrived.

The office door was gently opened, and Xiao Peiyin walked in, moving gently for fear of disturbing Gu Cunxi.

"Here I come" Gu Cunxi retracted his thoughts, took a deep breath without leaving any trace, and stood up to greet

"I'm here to pick you up after get off work. Am I a very punctual driver? Is Mr. Gu satisfied?" Xiao Peiyin said jokingly with a smile.

Gu Cunxi lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, leaned over and kissed her cheek gently, saying, "Very satisfied!"

Gu Cunxi finished reviewing several contracts before leaving the company with Xiao Peiyin. Her thoughts kept flying to Xiao Nuo along the way, wondering how things were going...

Seeing that she was listless, Xiao Peiyin thought she was too tired from work.

…

At eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Cunxi waited for a long time and finally received a call from Xiao Nuo. She was restless all night.

She picked up the phone, looked at the people in the living room, and lowered her voice, "Is it done?"

"Yes, he has already received the box. It was given to him privately without anyone else present. I will export the recording file and send it to you later. The bidding will be the day after tomorrow. He said he would arrange it." Xiao Ruo seemed relieved at the other end.

"Thank you for your hard work. Your identity will remain on the intranet for a few days. I'll have the technical department restore it after the bidding is over!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Cunxi breathed a sigh of relief. Things went as she expected.
