Chapter 1157: Even if it’s not right, it’s still strong
"How can going to work be an interesting thing? If the workers hear you say this, I don't know how they will squeeze you in their hearts. If it weren't for making a living, who would want to go to work? Isn't it better to stay at home?" Work, a job with dreams can enhance self-worth. Without dreams, it's like a donkey, working hard and never complaining. Not to mention those who stay up late to work overtime but don't get overtime pay. The little money they get every month can no longer be called salary, but mental damage compensation.
Li Jinxing continued, "You have two children with you. Don't you like Siyan and the others very much? If you feel bored, go shopping or visit the mall. There is a special driver to take you there."
Gu Wanqiu was a little anxious: "But it will be very cold to go shopping in this season."
"Won't you be cold if you go to work with me? I stay in the company every day and sometimes I go on a long trip. Are you willing to follow me? Aren't you afraid of leg pain?" Li Jinxing looked at her with amusement.
It was clearly a normal conversation, and Li Jinxing didn't say anything excessive, but Gu Wanqiu inexplicably felt the sharpness in his words, like a thorn picking at her sensitive nerves.
"I just... want to be with you..." As soon as she said this, Gu Wanqiu regretted it. She didn't even believe what she said. It was impossible to take it back. She gritted her teeth and continued to act tough. "I don't feel cold working with you and watching you work. Aren't you very good at taking care of me?"
She was not right but she was strong-willed. The way she asked him to take care of her reminded him of Gu Wanqiu.
But it was impossible to ask Li Jinxing to agree to her request just like that.
Li Jinxing smiled, his tone was
He interrogated, "Do you really want to accompany me to work, or is it... because of Gong Qing, and do you want me to continue to help him dig up useful intelligence?"
Gu Wanqiu was stunned. She didn't expect Li Jinxing to be so direct and get straight to the point. He didn't leave her any chance to beat around the bush and play tricks on him.
"Wanwan, look at me." Li Jinxing called her this, not expecting it to be in such a serious atmosphere.
Gu Wanqiu didn't want to look up, but she had to. "Of course, I came here to accompany you... and of course for myself. Like I said before, I came here to learn things, to enrich my life, and to improve my self-worth."
These words instantly raised the level of one's "humanity" by several levels, and it was just nice to say.
"Did you learn anything when you went to work with me before?"
This question made Gu Wanqiu stunned again. What did you learn? Does making coffee count?
Because Li Jinxing was watching her all the time and no one told her to do anything, it would be more accurate to say that Li Jinxing was following her rather than running after her.
She was told to eat, rest and sleep, but she managed to gain two kilograms during the few days she went to work at Li Group.
In addition, all the employees at Li's seemed to know about her relationship with Li Jinxing, and no one took the initiative to talk to her, let alone tell her to do anything. Without even simple interpersonal communication, what could she learn?
Li Jinxing understood: "No, right?"
"That's because you didn't give me a chance."
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. As long as you want to learn, it is impossible not to learn everything. After Gu Wanqiu joined Li's, she did one thing, at least helping Gong Qing get a big project in J City.
, which can relieve Gong Qing from the headache.
Gu Wanqiu was so stubborn that she insisted on pestering Li Jinxing to stay with him no matter what. "Why don't you let me go with you? Do you think I'm troublesome and look down on me? Do you think I'm a loser? I can't do anything?"
Li Jinxing said with a smile: "You are quite self-aware."
Gu Wanqiu puffed up her face in anger. "If you're like this, I might as well leave. I don't want to take care of your child. If I had known... I wouldn't have moved out today. Gong Qing and I live well together, and he respects my wishes. If I wanted to go to work with him, he would agree without even thinking, unlike you."
These words immediately changed Li Jinxing's expression. His breathing sank, and the smile on his lips faded. His black eyes fixed on Gu Wanqiu's face. He stared at him without blinking, without any expression. Under his sharp sword-like eyebrows, his hawk-like eyes burst out with a cold light, giving people a feeling of suffocation and oppression.
"Wanwan, just because I don't say many things doesn't mean I don't think about them. Maybe Gong Qing likes you. But for this J City project, did he secretly hint anything to you? Was it your own will, or was it granted by him?" I'm afraid only Gong Qing himself knows these things.
Gu Wanqiu could only say: "I volunteered. I insisted on working with you because I had some shameful thoughts. Gong Qing had been on a business trip for a few days and told me about the troubles he encountered at work. All of this was because you made things difficult for him. Before in Country M, you used the same method to send him away and created all kinds of troubles for him. Don't think I don't know, so it's okay for me to help him."
wrong……"
"You did help him, and now he's got the project in J City. His troubles are over. Or are you just keeping an eye on me so I can make things easier for him? I promise you, I won't bother him again. Of course, I don't have any benefits, and even if I did, I wouldn't let you give them to him. J City alone is more than enough for him to eat. If he eats any more, he might get too full and won't be able to eat anymore."
He felt it was worthwhile to exchange a 10 billion contract for Gu Wanqiu, but if it was several 10 billion, that would not work. Li Jinxing did not lose his rationality to the point of "cultivating" his love rival into someone who could threaten him.
In his opinion, only the strong can possess everything. If he is not strong enough, even if he possesses Gu Wanqiu now, it is only temporary and will be snatched away by someone else sooner or later.
Gu Wanqiu has been making excuses for Gong Qing, speaking for him, and trying to divert his attention today. It is impossible for Li Jinxing not to think too much.
He originally thought that it was just some of Gu Wanqiu's little thoughts. She wanted to help Gong Qing herself and it had nothing to do with Gong Qing.
But now thinking about it, he always feels that things are not as simple as he thought.
Gu Wanqiu was so courageous. She didn't talk much when they were alone together before, and didn't even dare to look him in the eye. But later she thought about going to work with him. Every time they talked about J City, her scattered attention would always be instantly focused. Her purpose was too obvious. She thought she performed very well, but in fact it was full of loopholes.
Of course, Li Jinxing didn't mind. If he could keep her by his side forever, until death, he wouldn't mind being deceived and used by her for a short time.
It was one thing for him to be deceived by her,
If she kept lying to him for another man, that was another matter. He didn't want to be a fool all the time.
Li Jinxing reached out and brushed the strands of hair from Gu Wanqiu's face behind her ears. He spoke softly and slowly, "If a man uses you to gain benefits and money, then such a man is not worthy of entrusting your life to. Don't say things like, 'I'm not as good as Gong Qing, and you'd rather stay with him.' I'll be very unhappy if I hear that."
He deliberately emphasized the word "very", hoping that Gu Wanqiu would remember it deeply and not make the same mistake as today again. In fact, he has always had a bad temper. He can tolerate her little temper, but he cannot tolerate her having two minds.
"Don't even think about it in your heart." Li Jinxing emphasized again.
Li Jinxing said all of this. Gu Wanqiu felt very complicated at the moment. She was shocked and frightened. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. Therefore, she could only remain silent and didn't even dare to show any extra expression.
However, she was not even allowed to remain silent. Li Jinxing pinched her chin and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Gu Wanqiu twisted her neck to try to dodge, but failed. She was trapped under Li Jinxing and could not move.
"I understand." Gu Wanqiu said in a submissive manner, "You even want to control what I'm thinking. Do you know what I'm thinking? Do you have the ability to read my mind?"
"I don't have the ability to read minds. I rely entirely on guessing. If I really had the ability to read minds and knew what you were thinking, I would probably be pissed to death by you." Li Jinxing let go of Gu Wanqiu's chin and smiled.
He and Gu Wanqiu have been together for too long, and he used to act according to her mood, so he was not very good at dealing with Gu Wanqiu.
You can roughly guess what the mood is in late autumn and what people are thinking about.
