A cool and classical beauty, a fallen socialite, against an untamed and roguish Hong Kong scion. Five years after their breakup, Gu Xiangsi never expected to encounter her first love again upon ret...
Chapter 29 The person in front... looks a little familiar!
The person at the table, however, raised his chin proudly and said, "You remembered it wrongly. I ate it last time."
Gu Xiangsi couldn't refute.
He did eat it all last time.
Did even your eating habits change after breaking up?
She was hesitant in her heart, but she pushed the bowl in front of her away, took Fu Sinian's bowl, added green onions and coriander to it, and started eating it in small bites.
Halfway through the meal, Fu Sinian suddenly spoke.
"Manager Gu, you are truly a master of time management!"
Gu Xiangsi frowned, put down her chopsticks, looked up at him, and said with a hint of impatience: "Mr. Fu, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be sarcastic."
Fu Sinian finished the last mouthful of soup, leaned back in his chair, stretched his long legs forward, and glanced at her lazily.
"Isn't it nice to be able to pack Saturdays full with work and appointments?"
"You..." Gu Xiangsi's eyes widened in choking. "Who I date has nothing to do with you. Besides, I didn't even invite anyone to the villa. You don't have to make indirect accusations like that."
She took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Okay, I'm full. I'll send you the overall design plan of the villa after it is completed."
After saying that, he grabbed the bag at hand and walked towards the door.
He is really bored and is picking on her.
When he reached the door, he suddenly heard Fu Sinian's voice behind him: "Manager Gu, you left something behind."
Gu Xiangsi turned around and saw him standing behind her with a power bank in his hand.
The style looked somewhat familiar. She was just frowning and trying to recall it when she heard Fu Sinian shaking the thing in his hand with a nonchalant, tentative tone.
"Does it look familiar?"
He placed his fingertips on the power bank port and looked up at her, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
"Tell me, if I plug this power bank into the USB port of my phone, will my phone get a virus?"
"Mr. Fu, what do you want to say?"
Gu Xiangsi was sure that Fu Sinian knew something.
"Can I also do what Manager Gu did and make some money?"
Gu Xiangsi cursed Fu Sinian a thousand times in her heart.
This sinister villain even dug up the fact that she blackmailed Sun Shangxiang.
She pretended to be calm and said coldly, "I don't know this power bank. You can plug it in wherever you want. It has nothing to do with me."
Just refuse to admit it.
Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Oh? That's right."
He changed the subject, a sly glint in his eyes.
"However, if I give this to Mr. Zhao from your company, do you think he would have any good ideas?"
"Tell me, Mr. Fu, what do you want to do?"
There was suppressed anger in Gu Xiangsi's voice.
"nothing."
Fu Sinian shrugged, his tone devoid of emotion, "I'm just curious."
As he said that, he handed the power bank back to her, and his fingertips inadvertently brushed across the back of her hand, leaving a slightly cool touch.
"For the villa, I need a very detailed design."
He suddenly dropped his joking expression and said in a serious tone, "You must come over every weekend after get off work."
"That's it?" Gu Xiangsi was obviously relieved.
I thought he was going to make some harsh conditions and make me owe a large sum of money, but I didn't expect that.
She looked at Fu Sinian's back as he turned and walked towards the living room, and was unable to react for a moment.
At this time, Li Xiaoyao came over and said politely, "Miss Gu, let me drive you home."
"No."
Gu Xiangsi shook her head and looked up at the rain outside. "I'll go to the intersection ahead to see if I can get a taxi."
It looks like the rain won't stop any time soon.
As she spoke, she picked up the umbrella, but Li Xiaoyao had already opened an umbrella and handed it to her head: "It's raining heavily, I'd better take you to the intersection."
Gu Xiangsi couldn't refuse anymore, so she thanked him and followed him into the rain.
An hour later, Li Xiaoyao came back and went to the study on the second floor.
Fu Sinian was sitting behind his desk, his fingertips tapping rapidly on his laptop.
Seeing him come in, I looked up at him.
Li Xiaoyao handed over the documents while explaining, "I've checked and found out that Lu Wang is a doctor who just returned from abroad."
Fu Sinian flipped through the documents and said casually, "This name sounds familiar."
"It seems he and Lu Liang are cousins."
Li Xiaoyao replied, "He and Miss Gu must have met abroad. They seemed to have a good relationship, but we haven't found out more about the situation yet."
He stole a glance at Fu Sinian who was sitting at the edge of the table. The shadow of the desk lamp fell on the man's handsome profile, making it impossible to see his expression.
Li Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "Master, you returned the power bank to Miss Gu... Did you want her to lure out the hacker?"
Fu Sinian didn't respond, but just tapped the table with his fingertips, making a light sound.
After a moment, he calmly instructed, "Keep a close eye on her these next two days and pay attention to her whereabouts outside of work. Report any developments at any time."
Li Xiaoyao nodded quickly.
As expected, the young master is going to thoroughly investigate Miss Gu's affairs.
——
On the top floor of the Si Nian Building, there were two gentle knocks on the door of the president's office.
"Come in." Fu Sinian's voice came from inside, with his usual coldness.
Li Xiaoyao pushed the door open and walked in, holding a few documents in his hand, and walked quickly to the desk.
"Master, this is the project progress report you requested, as well as the cooperation response I just received."
He put the documents on the table and glanced at Fu Sinian, seeing that he was staring at the computer screen with a slightly frown.
"Oh right," Li Xiaoyao added, "Miss Gu was just having dinner with a girl in a restaurant. The girl was dressed...she looked like someone from a science or engineering background."
Fu Sinian raised his eyes and asked, "Can you tell by the way she dresses?"
"Yeah." Li Xiaoyao nodded. "After all, I'm also from a science and engineering background, so I can feel that energy."
"Oh?" Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows, a rare hint of teasing in his tone, "Are you talking about that hacker?"
"It seems that since you can't code better than others, you're now picking on their appearance?"
"Originally, I couldn't even decipher her power bank."
At the same time.
The evening breeze from the Tsim Sha Tsui seaside rolled in with moisture. Gu Xiangsi wrapped herself tightly in her lavender wool coat, the warmth of hot tea still lingering on her fingertips.
She exhaled a puff of white air and looked at the person opposite her.
Her head full of small braids swayed slightly with her movements, and she was wearing a work jacket and Martin boots, exuding a cool and stylish vibe.
"How about it, is my outfit concealed enough?"
The other person raised his chin and lowered his voice. "In our line of work, we always do things the other way around. People think programmers should wear glasses and plaid shirts, but I do it this way. Who could have guessed?"
Gu Xiangsi was amused, "Nanyu, you computer science majors are really all so mysterious."
Nan Yu pulled out a folder and a USB drive from her bag and pushed them over. "Here are the contracts from your dad's company that you requested. Oh, and this USB drive contains the entire contents of his phone, along with some... less than savory photos and videos. Take your time to look through them."
When she took the thing, her brows furrowed.
His attention was completely focused on the folder, and he casually stuffed the USB drive into his coat pocket.
When I opened the folder, I saw that some of the contract pages were marked with red and green marks, which looked particularly eye-catching.
"Why is it marked like this?" she asked, looking up.
"I find it strange, too."
Nan Yu pointed at the red mark with her fingertips. "Anyone with a discerning eye can see problems with these clauses. Why would your father sign them?"
She paused, her tone growing graver. "I looked into it and heard your father ran off with the money. But strangely, the news stopped after that, as if he had vanished into thin air. The matter also fell into disarray, with no one mentioning it again."
The sea breeze suddenly picked up, making the awning of the restaurant and bar rustle.
Gu Xiangsi tightened her grip on the folder, creating tiny wrinkles on the edges of the paper.
The problem is very serious. In her impression, her father is a highly educated and capable man who is very good to her and her mother.
It's impossible to make such a low-level mistake.
Seeing Gu Xiangsi frowning and remaining silent, Nan Yu comforted her: "Don't worry, I will continue to help you find out. This kind of thing can't be rushed, we have to investigate it slowly."
She paused and asked, "Is there really no news from your father?"
Gu Xiangsi shook her head, her fingertips unconsciously sliding across the rim of the cup.
"What about your uncle?"
Nanyu asked, "Will they know something?"
Gu Xiangsi still shook her head.
Maybe I should take some time to go back to my uncle and aunt's house and see if I can find any clues.
Maybe grandma has some old things left.
Nan Yu seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and warned her, "Be careful when you go back. Call me anytime if anything happens."
Gu Xiangsi nodded and stuffed the folder into her bag.
I was sipping hot tea when I suddenly heard an argument coming from the front.
At the fence, several men were surrounding a woman and pushing her roughly.
Nan Yuxian frowned and said, "The person in front... looks a little familiar."
Gu Xiangsi followed her gaze, his eyes suddenly sank, and there was no expression on his face.
"It's my aunt, Chen Fang."
"I guess he's borrowed money from a loan shark and is being chased for debt."
She sighed first, then stood up and picked up her bag: "I'll go take a look."
Nanyu immediately stood up and followed her.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Nanyu shouted.
The young men turned around and saw two outstanding young girls. They spoke in a frivolous tone and spoke Cantonese.
"Pretty girl, don't make trouble. This is none of your business!"
Chen Fang also saw Gu Xiangsi at this time, and cried out as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Xiangsi! Please save my aunt! They are going to beat me to death!"
