Gu Zhun glanced at her casually and tapped the cup with his finger.
"Make me a cup of coffee first."
Oh, didn't you have amnesia?
But he won't miss a single little detail that might torment him.
You boss me around and expect me to serve you? You're dreaming.
Shen Beitang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed.
"I am the eldest daughter of the prestigious Shen family. It would be a waste of my talent for me to make coffee for you."
"But in my eyes, you only deserve to make coffee."
Gu Zhun picked up a proposal, which was the proposal for the next phase of the Southern Project.
She had seen that proposal before; Gu Zhun was very generous and offered her substantial concessions.
But no decision was made in the end. If Gu Zhun was willing, it was possible to turn back now.
"Okay, I'll go make it for you now."
Shen Beitang picked up the coffee cup and added enough black coffee for two cups, without adding a single piece of sugar.
Just the smell is enough to overpower it.
Here, coffee.
You won't die from drinking.
Gu Zhun frowned slightly after taking the first sip, his expression indescribable.
He glanced at Shen Beitang with an inscrutable expression, then took a second sip.
It seems the dosage wasn't high enough. Shen Beitang decided to add Coptis chinensis directly next time.
"Mr. Gu, can we discuss the project now?"
"Wait a little longer, there's still one person who hasn't arrived."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Zhun's previously gloomy face relaxed, and he got up to open the door himself, his voice gentler than before.
"Ling'er, you've come."
Compared to yesterday, Bai Ling's taste in clothing has clearly improved by more than one level.
I used to buy clothes and bags with big logos, which gave off a rich, sophisticated but tacky vibe.
Now it's the advanced version; what we wear and use is all understated yet luxurious high-end.
"What do you mean by calling her here?" Shen Beitang's tone was unfriendly.
The contract clearly states that only Gu and Chen are allowed to participate in the project. What's the point of adding one more person temporarily?
Bai Ling blinked her eyes and pitifully tugged at Gu Zhun's sleeve.
"Brother Zhun, let's just forget about it. Tangtang is already unhappy."
Gu Zhun gently stroked the back of his hand to comfort him: "It's alright, Ling'er, just ignore what she said."
“Ling’er is your half-sister, so she’s also considered a member of the Shen family. Her participation in the project doesn’t constitute a breach of contract.”
Shen Beitang saw that Gu Zhun was currently obsessed with love and had been overtaken by an enemy named Bai Ling.
Both the brain and cerebellum are raising fish.
"Fine, since you want to add Bai Ling, then the Shen family will withdraw."
If Gu Zhun doesn't respect the rules, then she also has the right not to participate in the game.
"OK."
Gu Zhun shrugged indifferently, "If President Zhou still has the money to pay the penalty for breach of contract, I don't care."
Shen Beitang wished he could strangle Gu Zhun; back then, it was Gu Zhun who forced him to write down the exorbitant penalty for breach of contract.
There's still money for the penalty for breach of contract, but...
“I agree to add Bai Ling, but she can only be considered your person, not Shen’s.”
This is Shen Beitang's only bottom line, making her indirectly acknowledge Bai Ling as a member of the Shen family.
She would rather the Shen family go bankrupt.
"Okay, Ling'er, are you thirsty? What would you like to drink? I'll go buy it for you."
Gu Zhun thoughtfully arranged for Bai Ling to sit in his swivel chair and even went to buy her a drink himself.
"Brother Zhun, I like anything you buy."
Bai Ling's answer pleased Gu Zhun greatly.
"I'd like a bottle of green tea, iced," Shen Beitang added immediately.
Gu Zhun paused slightly, frowned, looked at her, and snorted coldly: "You're sick."
...
After Gu Zhun left, only Bai Ling and Shen Beitang remained in the office.
"Stop pretending, now it's just us left."
Shen Beitang truly admired Bai Ling's mental fortitude.
He was publicly humiliated yesterday, yet today he can still smile and act innocent with the other person.
"Pack?"
Bai Ling covered her mouth in surprise: "Tangtang, what are you saying?"
What is your purpose in approaching Gu Zhun?
She didn't intend to play along with Bai Ling any longer and decided to speak frankly and directly.
"Shan Chengming, don't you want him anymore?"
Bai Ling's expression changed slightly when Shan Chengming was mentioned, but she quickly regained her composure.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I came here at Gu Zhun's invitation."
Judging from Bai Ling's expression, she was basically certain.
Only Gu Zhun was affected by the system.
As for Bai Ling, she still didn't know what Bai Ling was up to, so she just waited and saw what Bai Ling was up to, waiting for him to reveal his true colors.
"Brother Zhun, you're back."
Upon hearing the door open, Bai Ling rushed forward to greet him and took the things from his hands.
Gu Zhun took out a bottle of jasmine tea and handed it to Bai Ling, but waved it in the direction of Shen Beitang.
"Can't you see I'm carrying something?"
Shen Beitang reluctantly took the bag, which contained only a lonely bottle of green tea.
"Brother Zhun, I can't drink anything cold today."
Bai Ling covered her stomach with her hand and looked at Gu Zhun with difficulty: "I told you."
Gu Zhun paused for a moment, then took the flower tea and held it in his hand.
Bai Ling did send a message on her phone, saying that she wasn't feeling well today and couldn't drink anything cold.
How could I have forgotten?
When they arrived at the supermarket, all they remembered was what Shen Beitang had said to them, so they inexplicably picked out the iced bottles for both.
"I'm sorry, Ling'er, I'll have my secretary go and buy another bottle."
Bai Ling shook her head, took the water back, and rubbed it back and forth in her palm.
"No need, Brother Zhun, I'll just warm it up with my palms."
"You're already feeling unwell, how could you possibly touch something cold?"
Gu Zhun scolded him, took the water, and put it directly into his clothes.
"you!"
Shen Beitang was startled by his actions. She knew that Gu Zhun had a bad stomach and couldn't stand anything too spicy or too cold.
If you try to warm the water up, you'll probably hurt your body, so you instinctively want to snatch the water away.
"Shen Beitang!"
Gu Zhun pushed him away with his backhand, not holding back at all: "Please know your place. You are just a poor substitute."
Caught off guard, Shen Beitang bumped into the corner of the table behind her, the sharp pain leaving her mind blank.
She could barely hear what Gu Zhun said after that; she only saw his mouth opening and closing.
Bai Ling, who was beside Gu Zhun, seemed to be comforting him, but the contempt in her eyes was impossible to hide.
It wasn't until Linda came in that she was able to support Shen Beitang, who was almost fainting from the pain.
"Miss Chen, what's wrong? Should I call an ambulance?"
Shen Beitang's face was deathly pale, which was really worrying.
"No, no need."
Shen Beitang forced a smile and waved his hand, "It's just that my blood sugar is a little low."
Linda was still worried and insisted on calling 120, saying, "Let's go to the hospital to get checked out."
"Linda." Gu Zhun coldly dismissed her and looked down at Shen Beitang.
“You work for me, not for her. Besides, the wicked always live to see the end.”
