"I was blind to your greatness."
"Please sit down, please sit down."
Gu Lianyi shook her head and said, "I came here to see him. I have something I'd like to ask him for help with."
"I might have to ask him to come out with me."
"I'm not going!" I answered instinctively.
My current impression of Gu Lianyi is that she has a changeable temperament.
Her change just now really scared me a little.
Upon hearing my refusal, Gu Lianyi looked at me with a smug smile and said, "Sure."
"You don't have to go."
"But if you don't come with me, then our cooperation will end."
"The contract has already been signed. Do you want to break it?" I frowned slightly.
"I can afford the compensation." Gu Lianyi looked at me with a half-smile.
Upon hearing this, Yan Shan quickly said, "Xu Ruo, if Boss Gu wants you to go, then go. Stop talking nonsense!"
"I'll give you a day off."
"Spend quality time with Boss Gu."
I looked at Yanshan.
That's when I noticed that Yan Shan had an ambiguous look on his face.
Did they just sell me out?
"Your boss has already said that, are you still going to refuse?" Gu Lianyi blinked at me.
...
Ten minutes later, I got into Gu Lianyi's car.
Sitting in the car, I couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Gu, do you have any unusual fetishes?"
"Why do you ask that?" Gu Lianyi asked curiously as she drove.
Then she added, "I told you, call me 'older sister'."
"If all else fails, just call me by my name."
"Stop calling me 'Boss Gu,' it sounds too old."
I'm starting to panic.
"We don't have any grudge against each other, do we?"
"No, there isn't." Gu Lianyi nodded.
"So what exactly do you want to do?"
Gu Lianyi slammed on the brakes, then tilted her head to look at me. "I just want to see what kind of skills you have, a little brother who comes from a beggar background and has never been to school."
"Able to do so many things."
"You investigated me?" I looked at Gu Lianyi, my heart turning cold.
Gu Lianyi smiled and said, "Don't be angry."
"Since I'm going to cooperate with you, I definitely need to see if you're a reliable person."
"However, what surprised me was that your background was even more ordinary than I had imagined."
"So I really don't understand."
"Where did you learn all that stuff, that you even know about resource integration?"
I fell silent.
I have to admit that Gu Lianyi's reasoning is quite reasonable. Just as I had investigated those shop owners beforehand when I convened the meeting, I could only investigate some one-sided aspects because my resources are limited.
But Gu Lianyi is different.
Even if she doesn't get along with the Gu family.
She has far more resources than I do, and since we're going to cooperate, it's understandable that she investigates me.
To be honest, I miscalculated on this point.
Even so, I didn't panic. After a moment of silence, I looked at Gu Lianyi and asked, "Does this matter?"
Gu Lianyi paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting my reaction to be so calm. After a while, she smiled and nodded, "Indeed, it's not important."
"But I have to admit that after just one or two encounters, I can no longer treat you as a little brother."
"So, I think it's very suitable for you to help me with this."
I sighed.
I think I've figured it out.
That's the key point.
"What kind of help?"
"Be my boyfriend."
