Chapter 57 Chapter 57
Just when Wen Yue was about to call Tang Ling, the door behind him opened again, and Gu Xingshi walked in behind the waiter.
Seeing everything in front of him, Gu Xingshi showed a surprised expression on his face.
Wen Yue's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and when he was thinking about how to explain, Gu Xingshi walked past him and walked directly to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window and exclaimed: "So beautiful!"
Then he turned around and asked Wen Yue happily, "Mr. Wen, how did you know that I always wanted to come here to eat?"
Wen Yue: "..."
No, he didn't know.
Gu Xingshi then noticed the roses all over the floor: "This is..."
Wen Yue closed his eyes: "Mr. Gu, listen to my explanation..."
"No need to explain, I understand!" Gu Xingshi understood, "Today is Chinese Valentine's Day! It's normal to have such decorations!"
Wen Yue: "..."
Is this really normal? !
But looking at Gu Xingshi's sincere face, as if he really didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he couldn't say it.
He could only suppress his doubts and sit opposite him with a little stiffness.
However, after sitting down, he found that the table was much smaller than he expected.
He just moved his body, and his knees touched Gu Xingshi's legs. Although there were two layers of cloth between them, Wen Yue still felt burned and quickly retracted his legs.
Gu Xingshi was completely unaware and was still playing with the decorations on the table with great interest.
Wen Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But then, a trace of disappointment seemed to surface.
After the two of them sat down, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Fortunately, there were no more problems with the dishes, and Wen Yue's heart gradually settled down.
He and Gu Xingshi also had a very pleasant conversation.
To his surprise, Gu Xingshi not only had an understanding of the entertainment industry, he seemed to be involved in all aspects. Although his insights might not be profound, he always seemed to be able to dig out some unique directions, which refreshed Wen Yue's eyes and ears.
Wen Yue praised in a deep voice: "Mr. Gu is so young, but he has such rich experience."
Gu Xingshi smiled: "After all, I have worked in many jobs before, it's normal that I know more!" Wen
Yue was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that when he shook hands with Gu Xingshi last time, he felt a thick rope on his palm.
He thought it was a bit strange at the time, but now it seems that Gu Xingshi must have suffered a lot in the past.
Realizing this, Wen Yue's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle.
And at this moment, he heard Gu Xingshi suddenly exclaimed: "Wow! This steak is delicious! Mr. Wen, you should try it."
Wen Yue came back to his senses and saw that he was feasting on it with a bright smile.
He doesn't seem to care about his past experiences, and is always sincere and optimistic, like a little sun. Whoever is next to him will be infected by him.
The heaviness in Wen Yue's heart was swept away, and even the corners of his lips couldn't help but lift.
After finishing the main meal, the waiter brought the dessert.
Wen Yue, who had finally relaxed, froze again.
He didn't expect that after a normal meal, there would be a bombshell in the dessert.
The dessert was a love heart that gradually turned pink, and "I love you" in French was written on it. This was too obvious. Roses could be pushed to the Chinese Valentine's Day decorations. How could he explain this thing!
Wen Yue felt a little nervous: "Boss Gu..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xingshi had already cut the cake into two pieces.
When he heard Wen Yue's words, he raised his head in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Wen Yue: "...Nothing."
Gu Xingshi happily scooped half of the cake into his plate, and ate the "I love you" on it with a "ah".
Wen Yue: "..."
Okay, maybe Boss Gu doesn't know this French word, and he is too sensitive.
However, just when he was relieved, Gu Xingshi suddenly stood up and leaned towards him.
The beautiful face approached abruptly, and the long eyelashes drooped, leaving a shadow covering the innocent and carefree eyes, so that only the perfectly shaped lips appeared in Wen Yue's sight.
The lip beads were slightly protruding, because there was a little jam on his lips after eating dessert, making his lips more rosy, like a piece of fresh jelly.
With his breathing, the sweet aroma of orange and the sweetness of strawberry came together.
Wen Yue's heart tightened, and then beat irregularly.
The hand on his leg was clenched into a fist unconsciously, and the blue veins on the back of his hand emerged, as if he was trying to restrain something.
He tried to look away, but his sight was completely occupied by Gu Xingshi.
The collar of the white shirt was casually unbuttoned with two buttons, revealing a slender Adam's apple and collarbone. The skin was as white as jade, but only a small part was exposed. The rest was tightly wrapped in the shirt, which was even more imaginative.
The fabric tied in the pants was straightened because of his movements, outlining a narrow waist, but the thin strokes became rounded as they went down, giving the visual an extreme contrast.
Wen Yue's breathing suddenly became disordered.
But the next second, Gu Xingshi straightened up, opened his palm towards Wen Yue, and revealed the rose petals on it: "Mr. Wen, a petal fell on your head."
His smile was clear, as if he didn't know what happened in these few short seconds.
Wen Yue's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice became hoarse: "Um...thank you."
"You're welcome."
Gu Xingshi sat down again without noticing, and continued the previous topic with Wen Yue.
Wen Yue tried hard not to look at Gu Xingshi.
But the scene just now appeared in his mind again and again, and even the tip of his nose still retained the faint scent of oranges.
Wen Yue almost used his greatest willpower to barely regain his mind.
Gu Xingshi was just helping him to get the petals that fell on his head, how could he defile him with such thoughts.
It must be the environment here that made him have such an idea.
Yes.
That's it.
Wen Yue finally convinced himself.
But his muscles were all tense, like a sculpture.
Fortunately, nothing unusual happened afterwards, and the two of them finished the dinner happily.
Gu Xingshi took the coat from the waiter and put it on, and said to Wen Yue with a smile: "Mr. Wen, thank you for your hospitality tonight."
"You're welcome. I have gained a lot from chatting with Mr. Gu."
Wen Yue walked beside him, but his eyes were restrained and only fell on Gu Xingshi's linen-colored head.
After leaving the restaurant, Wen Yue signaled to Gu Xingshi again: "It's getting late, I'll give you a ride."
"No need!" Gu Xingshi waved his hand, "My artist is recording a show nearby, I'll ask them to give me a ride back later."
Wen Yue paused for a moment before saying, "Okay, then be careful when you go back, Gu."
"Okay. Goodbye."
Gu Xingshi waved to him through the car window. When
the luxury car had driven away, Gu Xingshi took out his mobile phone, but it was to call a car.
After getting in the car, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes: [Master, explain.]
The system, which has always been the most active, dragged its feet for a long time before coming out: [What do you want to explain? Host.]
Gu Xingshi sneered: [What do you think? 】
Seeing that the system still wanted to play dumb, he tapped his knee with his index finger and said slowly, [Who arranged this restaurant tonight? Such a big oolong, how could you, a melon-eating system, not know, huh? 】
System: [!!!]
It dared not keep it a secret any longer, and honestly told all the melons about Gu Xingshi and Wen Yue.
Gu Xingshi was stunned after hearing it.
When he first entered the door, he found something wrong. His first reaction was that Wen Yue wanted to pursue him, but he soon found that Wen Yue's expression and state were also wrong.
A little embarrassed, and a little surprised.
If this was arranged by him, he would never show such an expression.
Gu Xingshi quickly realized that there was a misunderstanding, but he was not sure where the misunderstanding came from and whether it was related to Wen Yue.
So he pretended to be indifferent and tested Wen Yue several times.
Finally, he was sure that it was not Wen Yue's idea.
The person who arranged this dinner was Tang Ling. If it was not Wen Yue's idea, then Tang Ling acted on his own.
As Wen Yue's most capable assistant, why would Tang Ling go against his boss's wishes and make such an arrangement? There must be something fishy about it.
But the system, which always told him everything, did not tell him such an important thing.
It was just that Gu Xingshi guessed the beginning, but not the ending.
He never thought that the truth would be so explosive! !
Good job, Sun Hongfei. I didn't see you working so hard when writing the script, but you have a rich imagination when making up rumors!
How many times have he and Wen Yue met? ! Can't you respect the objective laws when you spread rumors? !
He is wrong!
He shouldn't have thought of taking shortcuts and having false backers from the beginning! Now
it's embarrassing! How can he meet Wen Yue in the future? !
The system is still crying: [I really didn't hide it from you, host. I didn't expect that this unfounded rumor has not been exposed and has spread so far, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu...]
Gu Xingshi took a deep breath: [How many people know this rumor now? 】
The system pointed at his fingers and whispered: [That... most of the entertainment industry should know about it...]
Gu Xingshi: [...]
Eating melons all day, in the end, you become the melon owner!
Karma will always pay back, the ancients were right!!
-The
next day, Wen Yue came to the company.
Tang Ling carefully observed his expression, but Wen Yue was the same as usual, and there was nothing special about him, which made Tang Ling feel a little uneasy.
Could it be that yesterday's arrangement was not good enough, and President Wen did not spend a good night with President Gu?
But President Wen did not look unhappy.
Tang Ling used his meticulous observation skills and suddenly discovered that the cufflinks President Wen wore today were a pair of topaz carved into the shape of oranges.
Tang Ling was very impressed by this pair of cufflinks. Although they were very expensive, Mr. Wen previously thought that the style was not solemn enough, so he rarely wore them.
Tang Ling thought about it, but did not show it on his face. Instead, he talked about Wen Yue's schedule for the day as usual.
"...At 10am, we will have a conference call with the Film and Television Center to discuss the application of new engines."
Wen Yue paused: "Cancel the conference call, I will go to the site to watch their demonstration in person."
Wen Yue has always been concerned about the Film and Television Center, and Tang Ling did not think much about it, and immediately said: "Okay, I will arrange a car now."
After getting in the car, Tang Ling continued to talk about the subsequent schedule: "Fly to Shanghai at 2pm to negotiate the acquisition of Kosu Group. At 6pm, there will be dinner with President Hong, the address is..."
Wen Yue opened his eyes.
Tang Ling stopped immediately: "President Wen?"
Wen Yue's mind popped up the dinner last night again: "Last night..."
Tang Ling's heart was immediately lifted.
Wen Yue wanted to ask him not to act on his own in the future, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered Gu Xingshi's sparkling eyes and his endless praise for the dishes.
To be fair, although last night's dinner was a bit awkward, except for the roses and the heart-shaped dessert, there was nothing wrong with the other arrangements.
Gu Xingshi also said that it was a restaurant he had always wanted to come to.
Since he was the one who wanted to treat the guests to dinner, he naturally had to cater to their preferences, and Tang Ling's choice was not wrong.
Tang Ling waited anxiously for a long time, but did not wait for his boss to say anything, so he couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Boss Wen, did you and Boss Gu like yesterday's dinner?"
Wen Yue was silent for a long time, and finally said lightly: "...It's OK."
Tang Ling was relieved immediately.
Wen Yue added: "Next time, a normal business dinner will be fine."
Got it. There will be
a next time.
Tang Ling answered without hesitation: "I understand, Mr. Wen."
As he spoke, they had already arrived at the film and television center.
Wen Yue did not let Tang Ling notify them, and got on the elevator directly.
At the same time, Jin Shiheng was packing his things.
Before, Gu Xingshi transferred him from Tiancheng Video to here. He thought that he had secured a thigh, and he would be promoted and get a raise immediately, and reach the peak of his life.
Who knew that after "Reincarnation" was broadcast, he realized that he was wrong.
President Gu had discovered his identity as a spy long ago, but he kept silent and used him to spread false information to Ning Tianyou, which eventually deceived Ning Tianyou.
Thinking of how President Gu fooled him quietly, making him move bricks during the day and write articles at night, and being complacent even though he was exhausted, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He originally thought that President Gu was naive and simple, but now he thinks that he is the naive and simple one.
A broker who has only been in the entertainment industry for two years and has brought out four popular artists, he actually thinks he is so deceptive? !
It's all because Gu Xingshi's face is too deceptive.
Jin Shiheng carried the cardboard box and walked out dejectedly, but he just happened to pass by Sun Hongfei.
Compared to his decadence, Sun Hongfei is now full of vigor and vitality.
With the two hit dramas "The Secret of the Six Doors" and "Reincarnation", his promotion to vice president is a foregone conclusion.
They both entered the company at the same time, and he even did much better than him before.
But why are their situations reversed now?
Sun Hongfei has been promoted step by step.
But he has nothing and even lost his original job.
Thinking of this, Jin Shiheng regretted and hated, and seeing Sun Hongfei was about to leave without even looking at him, it was like a spark that directly ignited him.
"Mr. Sun, what qualifications do you have to look down on me? You just cling to the right thigh..."
Sun Hongfei stopped in his tracks, turned around and sneered: "What's wrong with clinging to thigh? You can't cling to thigh, is it because you don't want to?"
Jin Shiheng: "......!"
Damn! Why do you still look so proud!
Sun Hongfei didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of: "I admit that I did have some not-so-glorious thoughts before, but after being with Mr. Gu for a long time, his talent, his character, his way of dealing with people, every one of them is worth learning from. What's wrong with clinging to such a thigh? I cling to it gloriously and it's great!"
Jin Shiheng was so angry that his face was twisted, and he sneered: "It's a high-sounding statement, isn't it just relying on his affair with Mr. Wen, so he can persuade the pillow, I tell you , don't be so complacent, what will you do if Mr. Wen dumps him someday? "
Sun Hongfei rolled his eyes, "Nonsense! Mr. Gu and Mr. Wen have a love that is stronger than gold and will last forever, stop cursing them!"
After saying that, he waved him away like a fly, "Okay, hurry up and leave, if you keep dawdling, I'll ask the security to drive you out." After
he finished speaking, he walked into the office with his head held high, leaving Jin Shiheng standing there, jumping in anger.
Wen Yue, who was standing at the corner, happened to hear what the two were saying clearly.
His expression remained unchanged, but a wave of shock had already been set off in his heart.
How could he not know that he and Mr. Gu were having an affair? ! !
He looked at Tang Ling beside him, but he saw that he was calm and composed, with no expression of surprise at all.
Wen Yue asked out of the blue: "You knew that too?"
Tang Ling answered subconsciously: "Yes."
Only after he finished speaking did he react and quickly shut up.
Wen Yue thought of that ridiculous Qixi dinner, and suddenly understood everything.
His eyebrows jumped, and he said, "Boss Gu and I..."
Tang Ling quickly understood: "Boss Wen, I will arrange for them not to talk about you and Boss Gu in public."
Wen Yue's eyebrows jumped again: "They?"
Tang Ling hesitated: "There is no way, many people know about it, and it can't be hidden..."
Wen Yue: "..."
He was almost laughing with anger, "Tell me, what do they know?"
Tang Ling felt his anger and immediately began to list the "love facts" between him and Gu Xingshi one by one.
One by one.
They were clearly things that Wen Yue had done, but each one was completely different from his memory.
He was even a little dazed when he said the last part.
Did he lose his memory, or were these people suffering from collective hysteria? !
Wen Yue wanted to explain, but strangely found that he had no way to explain.
After all, these people not only fabricated his love history, but also fabricated the reasons for hiding his love.
His clarification now would only add fuel to the rumors.
Thinking of this, he unexpectedly calmed down and ordered Tang Ling: "Go check where this rumor came from."
