"No, no...you're overthinking it. He's my driver. Other than that, I don't know anything about him."
Bai Lan lowered his eyes and explained to himself.
But in the end, even I didn't believe it.
"You just said... Soder is still the boss?"
In order to avoid being suspected by Gu Jiju, Bai Lan has to act completely.
When Gu Jiju's eyes fell on him, Bai Lan immediately pretended to look at Sode.
And started asking questions in front of Gu Jiju.
"You didn't tell me you had this identity when you applied for the driver position!"
Sode was stunned, knowing in his heart that he had been betrayed by Bai Lan.
The other party said this simply to distance himself from the issue and keep Thord at the center of the discussion.
But Sode didn't know how to refute Bai Lan's words.
Even though he felt unwilling, he could only continue talking about Bai Lan's question.
"At the beginning... at the beginning, I just wanted to stay by your side, so I naturally didn't tell you my identity."
Bai Lan pursed her lips, feeling flustered.
Gu Jiju grasped the key point and immediately frowned suspiciously, "You want to stay with Bai Lan? Why? Did you know her before? Or is there some special agreement between the two of you?"
"No……"
Bai Lan quickly waved his hands.
He was interrupted by Gu Jiju after uttering only two syllables.
"You let Thord speak."
Bai Lan shut up.
All the focus was placed on Soder.
This made the man very nervous, and a layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
He stuttered while speaking, as if he was afraid of letting something slip.
"Bai Lan... isn't she a celebrity? I've heard of Bai Lan's name for a long time and have always wanted to be her assistant. As for this company, I only recently took it over. After all, it's a family business, and my father has always been in charge of it."
Thord pretended to be calm and spoke every word seriously.
Even the pauses were filled with a tone of certainty.
"I was recently notified of taking over the company, but I never told Bai Lan. I plan to stay with her for a while..."
"So, you like her?"
This is what Gu Jiju is most concerned about.
After saying this, Bai Lan became more nervous.
At the same time, he also blamed Soder for making this excuse.
He directly described himself as a pervert.
What rich kid would like to be a celebrity's bodyguard or driver?
Even Bai Lan himself didn't believe it.
Sure enough, the woman's eyes flickered, and she was looking forward to Thord's answer, but she was also afraid in her heart.
Thord took a deep breath and was silent for a long time before he said, "Not really, but I admire her very much."
Gu Jiju said "Oh" thoughtfully, which made the situation even more awkward.
The two looked at each other, and Thord quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
"Don't think too much, Mr. Gu. You asked me to meet you today to secure a project, not to discuss these trivial matters. So...how do you say our project?"
Back to the topic, Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
But looking at Gu Jiju's serious expression, Bai Lan already knew the outcome of Sode's case.
If she wanted to compete with Gu Jiju, she probably had no chance and no possibility.
Gu Jiju prepared for the Dongjiao project for a long time.
Even Bai Lan knew it.
Soder had to take this one because there were so many other projects he was interested in.
Bai Lan shook his head and winked at Soder.
But the other party was too lazy to pay attention and responded with a roll of the eyes.
"I was the first to spot this project. Since you're interested, let's compete fairly. The partner is here too, so let him choose."
Seeing his partner looking drunk, Sode suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
The partner's secretary quickly woke him up and explained to him what had just happened.
The partner narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Jiju, and before he had time to think, he gave an answer.
"Mr. Gu! I hope we have a pleasant cooperation this time!"
What this means is that there is almost no need for Gu Jiju to fight for it, as the partners are certain that they will cooperate with Gu Jiju.
As for Soder...
He is a newcomer and his company and background are not clear yet.
Why would anyone invest in something that they are not sure of?
The partner smiled at Soder, and also forced out a hint of embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Soder. After all, Mr. Gu and I have known each other for many years and have worked together before. We know each other well and will definitely choose each other. As for your project..."
The partner tried hard to suppress his drunkenness and opened his eyes to look into Soder's eyes.
And with Gu Jiju's support, the partners have no scruples and say whatever they think.
"I think your proposal is still a little immature and doesn't meet the standards for cooperation with me. If you want to fight for this opportunity, I'm afraid it's impossible. I'm a little blunt, please don't mind."
Bai Lan was worried about Sode.
He is such a strong-willed person that he usually doesn't allow himself to say anything bad about him.
Now that he is being ridiculed by his partners, Sode must be feeling very uncomfortable.
But looking at Gu Jiju's smug eyes, Bai Lan seemed to know something.
"I'm sorry, this is also what our partners want. If there is an opportunity in the future, please come back and try for it."
Gu Jiju handed over the contract and then stood up to leave.
This action was completed in one go, with almost no hesitation or dragging.
This also made Soder, who was beside him, even more embarrassed.
Sode wanted to fight for it, but the partner had already accepted the contract handed over by Gu Jiju.
