"Did Mr. Gu come to see me?"
Gu Qing took a sip of tea and smiled, "You're not going to keep talking to me like this all day, are you?"
Lin Wanwan laughed heartily, "Who told you to come without saying a word?"
"I decided to come here on short notice. I came here recently to check out your new project."
"Sigh, I don't really care about company matters anymore, I should probably ask my older brother for help."
Gu Qing glanced at Lu Anyang beside her, "Then I'm glad I came."
Lin Wanwan's gaze shifted between her and Lu Anyang.
Without saying anything, he continued chatting with Gu Qing.
Naturally, Gu Qing was invited to stay for dinner that evening.
As Gu Qing left, she glanced at Lu Anyang one last time, saying, "Wanwan, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, come visit sometime. For company matters, just ask Zijie."
"Alright, it seems Mr. Lu is too busy to receive me."
"The eldest brother is in charge, but we still need to discuss the specific contract details with Zijie."
Lu Anyang remained silent throughout.
"Then I'll be going. Let's get together again after I finish negotiating the contract."
"Okay, I'll take you to eat spicy hot pot."
After seeing Gu Qing off, Lin Wanwan returned to the living room, where only Lu Anyang and Lu Feng were present. Song Lanzhi had taken the child to wash up.
Seeing Lu Anyang, he couldn't help but joke.
"Brother, Gu Qing came here for more than just the contract, right?"
Lu Anyang glanced at her. "What do you want to say?"
"Gu Qing has been pursuing you for quite a while, hasn't she?"
Lu Anyang raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Brother, don't be a jerk, make things clear with her."
Lu Anyang helplessly put down the book in his hand. "It was made clear eight hundred years ago. If she wants to do this, what can I do?"
"Gu Qing came here for more than just the contract, right?"
Lu Anyang nodded. "I already refused yesterday when you discussed the marriage proposal with me."
Lin Wanwan was a little embarrassed, "Then they should give up this time, right? They even resorted to a marriage alliance."
Lu Anyang remained silent and continued reading.
Lin Wanwan and Lu Feng exchanged a glance. "Where are the two kids?"
"Mom took her out for a walk. Gu Qing was too enthusiastic towards Mom, and I guess Mom couldn't handle it, so she went out."
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lin Wanwan originally thought that Lu Anyang's silence on the matter would be the end of it, but she didn't expect Gu Qing to come looking for her.
On her way to work that day, Lin Wanwan received a call from the security guard's office saying that someone was looking for her.
She ran out to see, and it turned out to be Gu Qing.
"What brings you here, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Qing looked at her with a smile, "President Lin, are you free after get off work at noon? Would you do me the honor of having lunch together?"
"If President Gu is so busy, yet he still has time, how could I dare say I don't?"
Lin Wanwan checked the time. "It's almost time to get off work. Wait for me for a little while."
Gu Qing still had a smiling expression on her face.
Lin Wanwan could roughly guess what it was about, and felt a little helpless.
Back in the office, Li Ziming pulled her aside and asked, "Who was looking for you?"
"Sister-in-law, are you starting to control me now?" Lin Wanwan said to her with a slightly sly tone.
Li Zimu flung her hand away, saying, "Who cares about you? I wouldn't care even if you were sold out."
Lin Wanwan immediately fawned over her, saying, "Sister-in-law, how could you do this? How could you ignore me? You're my sister-in-law. You've been doing well since you married my brother, haven't you? You always look radiant."
Li Zimu blushed and pushed away her face that was getting close.
Lin Wanwan's eyes darted around, "When will I be able to have a cute nephew?"
Li Zimu's face turned red. "Get back to work, or I'll tell on you."
"Fine, fine, you don't need me anymore, right? Let me go, okay?"
Lin Wanwan left work after only a few minutes and saw Gu Qing still sitting on the bench by the door.
"Gu Qing."
Gu Qing seemed to snap out of her daze, turning her head to look at her, "Off work?"
"Hmm, getting bored while waiting?"
Gu Qing shook her head.
Lin Wanwan suddenly realized that she seemed a little different from before. The spirited and ambitious person she used to be didn't seem to be her anymore.
"Let's go. I took half a day off this afternoon to spend with you. Have you signed the contract yet?"
Gu Qing looked at her in surprise, "The contract has indeed been signed, so why do you need to take time off to be with me? Aren't you a workaholic?"
"Oh, I knew it. You haven't finished signing the contract yet, how could you have time to deal with me? How am I a workaholic? I'm just respecting my own work. Besides, can anyone compare to you, Mr. Gu, when it comes to being a workaholic?"
"Your older brother."
Lin Wanwan, who was driving, paused for a moment, then naturally replied, "Is Big Brother alright? He always seems so confident and I don't feel like he's that busy. He stays home every day and has dinner with us."
Gu Qing smiled naturally, "I thought he was a workaholic too. Every time I contacted him, he seemed very busy."
"Really? Well, every time I get home from get off work, my older brother is already home. I don't really care about company matters anymore, except for the year-end meeting."
Gu Qing turned her head to look at her, "You don't manage it much, yet you still give the company advice. If you were in charge, how amazing would you be?"
Lin Wanwan laughed uncontrollably, "Although I'm happy that you're praising me, I'm really not that great. I've always believed that the person who comes up with the idea is the least capable, and the person who can bring my idea to fruition is the most capable."
"It feels like so many years have passed, and the company has grown bigger and bigger, but you are still as humble as ever."
"Your compliment is making me a little flustered. What would you like to eat?"
"Didn't you open a new store?"
Can you eat spicy food?
"Eating a little bit is fine."
The two sat down, and Lin Wanwan handed her the menu, saying, "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat. Order whatever you like."
Gu Qing smiled as she took the menu and looked around the restaurant. "I knew that when you're in charge, it's never bad."
"You're really praising me blindly. I just closed a hot pot restaurant."
Gu Qing smiled as she looked at the person opposite her. "We closed one store in Beijing, but opened three in Tianjin. Mr. Lin, you don't need to be so modest."
Lin Wanwan said helplessly, "How do you know everything? You can't hide anything from you, can you?"
After ordering, the two ate quietly for a while.
Gu Qing couldn't help but praise it, "The taste is indeed very unique."
"Are you used to the food?"
Gu Qing nodded, "I like spicy food, it's very fragrant and delicious."
"Then we'll definitely eat more. We're fine, we can eat all afternoon."
Gu Qing was about to speak when Lin Wanwan interrupted her, "If you still want to praise me, then don't say anything. You're making me afraid to eat."
Gu Qing laughed uncontrollably, "Okay, I'll praise you secretly in my heart."
It's lunchtime now, and the restaurant is packed.
The two of them were sitting in a private room on the second floor. Looking down from the small window, the main hall was full of people.
