The man leaned against the sofa, tapping his knee with his long, slender index finger. His chin was slightly raised, forming an unusually cold arc. He said calmly:
"That's it?"
Obviously, the project worth tens of millions can no longer be the life-saving straw to save Cheng Shi from disrupting Mr. Gu's good deeds.
The blue folder suspended in mid-air was as lonely as Cheng Shi.
"Mr. Gu..." Cheng Shi's voice trembled at the end, and two lines of tears almost flowed down on the spot, and cold sweat meandered down his pale face.
Gu Boyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the contract unhappily, the look of dissatisfaction between his brows becoming more intense.
[This company is not very appealing and its value remains to be determined]
Chen Nian'an: Who would seriously consider a CEO to discuss cooperation based on chemistry?
"Why don't you get out of here first?"
Gu Boyan's face darkened. Looking at Cheng Shi, who was still bending over to hand over documents, he said in a low voice, "Are you free?"
"It just so happens that next quarter our company will be in Africa—"
Cheng Shi's pupils suddenly dilated, and his already bent spine almost broke on the spot, and he fell backwards onto the cold floor tiles.
[No! God, save me, quick! I'm willing to remain single for another two years. (Parenthesis, this is from Ming and Yi.)]
Perhaps the god of the distant West heard Cheng Shi’s inner wailing, but Chen Nian’an behind him suddenly spoke up, interrupting Gu Boyan’s cold judgment.
"Gu Boyan"
Chen Nian'an walked over from behind the desk, getting closer and closer in Cheng Shi's eyes, which were filled with tears and eager anticipation.
I wonder if the hair tie of my high ponytail got rubbed off just now.
A head of flowing black hair was against the light, a pair of straight long legs were wrapped in slim jeans, and black Martin boots made a deep clicking sound on the marble.
Like a female war god who saves the world, her whole body exudes a kind halo.
[Madam——] Cheng Shi cried with joy, his eyes sparkling.
【The dog’s life is saved!!】
Gu Boyan watched her walk over and sit next to him, his eyebrows raised in a questioning arc.
"Um?"
Chen Nian picked up the document that was frozen in the air and handed it to Gu Boyan, blinking his eyes.
"It seems very important, don't you want to take a look?"
As if thinking of something, Chen Nian'an suddenly lowered his eyelashes, and his mood was inexplicably low.
"Am I disturbing you while you're working?"
Gu Boyan: "..."
Cheng Shi put his hands behind his back and silently gave Chen Nian'an a thumbs up.
[Madam, go for it! I'm crazy for you, I'm going crazy for you, I'm going to bang my head against the wall for you! !]
From today on, Cheng Shi announced that he would become Chen Nian'an's most loyal lackey.
He has fully understood that if he wants to become the most popular eunuch by Emperor Gu's side, he must please the only queen in the harem.
Gu Boyan didn't say anything, but Chen Nian'an, who heard Cheng Shi's inner thoughts, almost couldn't hold back his cough.
In the end, thanks to his strong professional qualities as a wild old actor, he managed to hold back his expression of failure.
"If my presence affects your work efficiency—"
Chen Nian settled down for a moment, then slightly raised her porcelain-white face, looked at Gu Boyan with eyes covered with mist, and then continued in a low voice:
"Then I'd better not come next time and just stay home."
"No need." Before he could squeeze out the last few words in a low voice, he was interrupted by Gu Boyan with a frown.
He picked up the folder, his face expressionless as always, but his tone was a little more hurried than usual.
"You will not affect me, nor will you reduce my work efficiency."
Gu Boyan stood up suddenly, took the folder and walked to the desk and sat down.
I picked up the pen on the table and turned it around, then looked up casually, as if the topic just now had never existed.
"What are you still doing here?"
He looked at Cheng Shi.
"I..." Cheng Shi was speechless. He raised his hand slightly, looked at himself, and then looked at the folder in his hand.
After a two-second pause, he asked hesitantly, "Waiting for Mr. Gu's signature?"
The second party from X Group was still in the office on the second floor of the lounge, waiting to be brought back with the finalized contract for their report. Once the contract was confirmed, the matching projects and work would be fully implemented.
He seems quite anxious.
Otherwise, Cheng Shi wouldn't have been so anxious to bring it to Gu Boyan for review and approval.
"Cough..." Gu Boyan coughed, and a barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across his cold expression.
He calmly opened the folder in his hand.
In fact, the details of this contract have been strictly reviewed in advance, and the necessary procedures and forms have been completed.
Gu Boyan only served as a stamp.
But he still looked at it quite seriously, his sharp brows were slightly calm, and the cold curve of his face was shining with the wisdom of thinking.
[Hey, doesn't Mr. Gu usually just glance over the lines, confirm them, and then sign?]
Why are you so serious today?
Chen Nian'an: Maybe it's because Mr. Gu from your family has started to act serious again.
She crossed her legs and poured herself a glass of water without knowing when. She was resting one hand on the sofa cushion and sipping the wine glass with the other hand.
With a smile on her lips, she watched Gu Boyan being serious and calm, showing how efficient he was at work, proving that he would not be affected by her at all.
"Mr. Gu," Cheng Shi walked over with a hint of surprise, hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"Is there something wrong with the contract?"
"Oh." Gu Boyan, who was immersed in his work, suddenly raised his head as if he was suddenly interrupted.
He glanced at Chen Nian'an behind him.
The tone is calm and steady:
"It's okay. Just double-check everything, make sure there are no problems with the documents. Isn't that the most basic thing?"
Cheng Shi: [Huh? Who's the person who usually approves a document in a few seconds?]
Didn’t you tell us that time is money in the business world? Every second counts, and an industry may fall or a new one may rise.
[What matters is your acumen and decisive decision-making ability. Otherwise, by the time you're done with your work, your partners will have already changed a thousand times.]
Seeing that he was making a fuss, Gu Boyan frowned.
He glanced slightly at Chen Nian'an who was looking at him on the sofa.
“Details determine success or failure”
Gu Boyan opened the cap of the pen, and the tip of the pen touched the paper. The vigorous and powerful words were as bold and rampant as their owner.
He put the pen cap back on, closed the signed folder, patted Cheng Shi's chest, who looked puzzled, and said slowly:
"Don't be so impatient in doing things in the future, learn more"
"Ah?" Cheng Shi was stunned for a second, quickly covering the folder that was about to fall, and muttered:
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"What's the rush?" Gu Boyan glanced at him calmly:
"Quality and perfection are the core competitiveness. Striving for excellence and the spirit of craftsmanship, do you understand?"
Gu Boyan's voice is naturally deep, and he speaks with the certainty and confidence of a superior, which makes people unconsciously convinced.
"I understand, I understand." Cheng Shi nodded dizzily, then ran out in a hurry holding the folder.
