Chapter 94 "Gu Xiangsi, why are you so sarcastic?"

"My name is Huang Rong."

Gu Xiangsi was stunned when he heard this.

Mrs. Fei in front of me has a cheerful personality and a lively look in her eyes and eyebrows. She really looks like Huang Rong in Jin Yong's novels.

"Miss Gu, Professor Fei's name..." She leaned closer, lowering her voice with a hint of playfulness, "His name is Fei Guojing."

Gu Xiangsi only knew Professor Fei’s English name, and this was the first time she heard his original name.

The two of them laughed while holding their teacups, and their voices floated gently into the pavilion not far away.

The two men who were playing chess in the pavilion looked over when they heard the sound, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly at the same time.

Professor Fei smiled and said, "I didn't expect your assistant and my wife to get along so well. I haven't seen her smile so happily in a while."

The woman's long hair fell on her side like a waterfall, and the corner of her mouth turned up to reveal a dimple. He curled the corners of his lips.

She...hadn't laughed like this for a long time.

"This must be fate."

After Professor Fei made his move, his eyes fell on the chessboard, and he looked at the man opposite him with a bit of ridicule.

Fu Sinian gently twisted a chess piece between his fingers, rubbing his fingertips on it for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up and smiled, a hint of cunning hidden in his eyes: "Professor Fei, are you trying to force me into a corner?"

After saying that, he turned his wrist slightly and moved the red cannon horizontally a step, landing it in the gap between the opponent's two cars.

"But you forgot that I haven't used the cinnabar powder yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the red cannon jumped over two black pawns in succession and headed straight for the black side's nine squares. The situation that was originally suppressed by the two chariots was reversed in an instant.

Professor Fei stared at the chessboard for half a second, then burst into laughter. "Good boy, you have a hidden trick up your sleeve! That cannon move was brilliant. It not only broke the siege, but also cut off my next move. You win."

He put down the chess piece, picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes inadvertently swept over the two people chatting and laughing outside the pavilion, and the smile on his lips deepened.

Everyone around them looked at ease, except Rika, who seemed a little out of place.

She held the teacup and drank absentmindedly. She took a sip without paying attention and almost got scalded. She couldn't help but frown.

Li Xiaoyao was sharp-eyed and immediately reminded her softly, "Miss Lika, be careful of the heat."

At this time, Gu Xiangsi and Huang Rong happened to walk by, and Huang Rong stepped onto the pavilion first.

Professor Fei then raised his eyes and saw Gu Xiangsi following behind him. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

Gu Xiangsi nodded gently and replied, "Hello, Professor Fei. I spent six months in your laboratory doing some auxiliary research."

"No wonder, I thought you looked familiar."

Professor Fei looked at Fu Sinian and said, "You have found a treasure."

Professor Fei's smile deepened, as if he had recalled something funny. He said, "This student Gu was very self-deprecating back then."

"He joined my lab, saying he was there to learn research, but in reality, he spent most of his time doing hard labor. He forced himself to do it for six months."

He looked at Gu Xiangsi and said, "You see, she's very good-looking. Back then, whether she was a graduate student or a boy in school, she had a long line of suitors. But I've observed her for a long time, and I've found that she always keeps to herself and often works part-time after school. She's quite ambitious."

Gu Xiangsi listened to him talk in increasing detail, fearing that he would bring up more of the past, and hurriedly interrupted him, "Professor Fei, we are here today because we have something important to tell you."

She paused, then spoke carefully, "It's about..."

He was silent for a moment, then pointed to the documents on the table. "There's something wrong with your parameter model. Let me fix it. We're open to cooperation, but the technical details must be in accordance with my requirements."

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Fu Sinian's eyes.

No one expected Professor Fei to agree so quickly.

Huang Rong held Gu Xiangsi's hand and said, "The day after tomorrow is my birthday party. Miss Gu must come."

Gu Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile.

The afternoon was free. Fu Sinian was busy connecting with people back home. Gu Xiangsi was thinking that he had to prepare a decent dress for the birthday party, so he asked for leave.

As soon as I entered the mall, I ran into Rika.

There was an undisguised provocation on the other person's face. Gu Xiangsi knew what was going on, so she simply stopped, picked up a beige dress and tried it on herself before looking up at her.

"Ms. Rika, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly."

Rika walked up to her in high heels, looked her up and down with a scrutinizing look, and spoke in a haughty tone.

"She has a nice face and a decent figure, but Assistant Gu needs to act like an assistant. If it's not yours, don't dream of it."

His words were a warning to her not to covet Fu Sinian.

Gu Xiangsi responded calmly, "I'm afraid Miss Lika has misunderstood. I'm just an assistant, and one who owes Mr. Fu a considerable sum of money. I'm just trying to pay it back. It's purely coincidental that I could be of help today."

When Rika thought about what happened during the day, her brows furrowed.

It should have been hers to take the spotlight, but Gu Xiangsi took it all. Professor Fei and his wife liked her and even invited her to their birthday party. Why did she deserve that?

Lika suppressed her anger and raised her voice.

"Si Nian's mother and my mother have been close friends for many years. You can't compare to the friendship we have."

"As a man, it's not uncommon to have a few women around him for fun, but the position of Mrs. Fu will only be mine."

"So, Miss Lika, I should work harder to make money so that I can give you a gift money when you get married."

Gu Xiangsi said lightly, picked out two dresses, turned and entered the fitting room, and closed the door with a "bang".

"You..." Lika was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her feet and turned to the waiter and said sternly: "Pack up all those things she just took!"

The waiter looked embarrassed: "Ms. Lika, the remaining sizes... may not be suitable for you."

"Do you think I'm fat?" Rika's eyes sharpened.

"No, no, no, that's not it!" The waiter waved his hands hurriedly.

But Rika ignored her and just stared at the door of the fitting room, with a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

She would never let Gu Xiangsi have an easy time.

Attending a birthday party, right?

She calculated quickly in her mind, a sneer on her lips. When the time comes, she will make this birthday party become Gu Xiangsi's nightmare.

——

Inside the presidential suite.

Fu Sinian had just finished the video conference and came out of the study rubbing his brows, and saw Gu Xiangsi standing in the living room with a dress bag in her hand.

"Have you chosen?" He walked over and his eyes fell on the bag in her hand.

Gu Xiangsi said "hmm".

Fu Sinian took out his cell phone and quickly operated a few times on the screen with his fingertips, and Gu Xiangsi's cell phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was a large sum of money. She looked up and asked, "Mr. Fu, what is this?"

"You're my assistant, so you have to look presentable when attending events. This is a company benefit, and I'm afraid it'll get out and embarrass me."

He said calmly, "Next time you buy, you can increase the amount."

"Oh." Gu Xiangsi responded. Who would have a problem with money? So he accepted it as a matter of course, looked up and smiled.

"Mr. Fu is so generous. I will definitely work hard and... save your share of the money."

"Contribution?" Fu Sinian had just sat down on the sofa. He paused when he heard the words and looked up at her with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Gu Xiangsi, why are you being so sarcastic?"
