Chapter 133 Just Feed the Dog
There was a problem with a project under the Shen Group, and Shen Xubai had been working overtime for several days in a row.
The air pressure in the company has been terribly low these past two days, and everyone is afraid of making any more mistakes.
Shen Xubai doesn't curse, but when he stares at you quietly with those cold eyes, it's scarier than cursing.
The senior executive expressed his opinion tremblingly, and after finishing speaking, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. There was no expression on Bai Qingjun's face. He slightly bent his knuckles and tapped rhythmically on the table.
Each sound was like a death countdown. Everyone swallowed their saliva and dared not breathe.
I don't know how long it took before he slowly said, "Let's do this for now."
Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned, and when they left, they couldn't help but take a second look at Gu Zhiyuan who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the sofa.
Shen Xubai's office is decorated in cool tones, with a black leather sofa and a dark wooden desk. The books and files in the open bookshelf behind him are neatly arranged in an orderly manner.
The office area, reception area, and rest area are well divided, simple and spacious. There is not even a pot of green plants on the desk, which is full of a cold atmosphere.
But even in this meticulous coldness, there was a pretty girl. Even if she just sat there without saying anything, it was hard not to notice her.
However, they did not dare to ask more questions and retreated obediently.
Shen Xubai raised his eyes and met Gu Zhiyuan's smiling face. Her watery and clear eyes were staring at him without blinking.
It was the same when he was working just now. That gaze was too intense and too direct, and it was difficult for him to ignore it.
He patiently said, "Ms. Gu, I've told you many times that you don't have to waste your time with me."
Gu Zhiyuan blinked her big watery eyes and said cheerfully, "I've said it many times before. I won't give up until I get you."
Shen Xubai pressed his brows. He was always calm and composed, but he actually felt a little irritated. Even facing orders worth hundreds of millions of yuan was not so difficult.
Gu Zhiyuan is the daughter of his uncle and is protected by his mother. He cannot treat her lightly or seriously, and he finds it difficult to strike the right balance for a while.
He said no many times, but she acted as if she didn't hear him and didn't take it to heart at all.
Gu Zhiyuan stood up from the sofa, picked up the thermal box beside her, and stood in front of him in a coquettish manner: "You haven't eaten yet after working overtime, right? This is the food I packed at Yuge, all of which are your favorites."
She stood in front of the table, opened the food boxes one by one with her slender white fingers, and pushed them in front of him.
Shen Xubai lowered his eyes, his tone gentle but without a trace of warmth: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Gu, but Luo Yan has already prepared dinner for me."
He dialed the internal number and gave a few instructions. There were two knocks on the door, and Luo Yan came in carrying a prepared lunch box.
He put the lunch box on the table, opened it and set it aside before leaving.
Shen Xubai took the one prepared by Luo Yan without hesitation.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Gu Zhiyuan's eyes, and her voice lowered: "Do you hate me that much? You don't even want to eat the food I brought."
Her thick, black eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes with a hurt look.
Shen Xubai paused and wanted to ignore her, but she just stood in front of him with her eyes downcast and silent, as if she was about to burst into tears in the next second.
"I don't hate you, but I can't give you hope."
Although he has never been in love, he knows that if there is no possibility, don't give people hope.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head: "Why?"
Shen Xubai: "I have no plans to fall in love right now."
"But you're going to get married sooner or later, aren't you?"
Gu Zhiyuan leaned over and came close to him: "If you haven't thought about love and marriage, then think about it now. You can't be alone for the rest of your life, right?"
Looking at the little face that suddenly approached him, Shen Xubai's pupils shrank. The little girl's skin was clear, and her watery eyes stared at him intently, as if she had to get an answer.
As she bent down, the necklace on her slender neck dropped to her collarbone. The thin fabric fell under her thin white shoulders, and the round and full curves immediately came into view.
Shen Xubai suddenly turned his eyes away, took a step back, and a slight ripple appeared in his eyes, which were usually calm, but soon returned to calm.
He had a happy family and loving parents, but he knew from a young age that he would take over the Shen Group and carry the entire Shen family on his shoulders. He was mature beyond his years, always calm and self-possessed, and clearly knew every step he had to take.
However, he never thought about what his wife would be like. His time was occupied by countless documents and financial reports every day, and he had no energy to think about other things.
However, if he really gets to the stage of getting married and having children, his wife should be a gentle and intellectual woman who can live with him in respect for the rest of his life.
He raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful young girl in front of him with a cold expression: "Miss Gu, I will let Luo Yan take you back."
Gu Zhiyuan didn't understand why he always wanted to drive her away: "Since you don't have anyone you like and you don't reject marriage, why can't you try to accept me?"
"Can you at least get to know me first, spend some time with me, and make sure you really don't like me before rejecting me?"
Shen Xubai raised his head, his handsome features shrouded in a layer of coldness in the thick night behind him: "Miss Gu, if it weren't for Uncle Gu, you would have been asked to leave long ago."
Shen Xubai has been in a high position for many years. Although he has always been gentle, the sharpness and oppression in his bones have always been there.
Gu Zhiyuan froze, looked up at his stern expression, and was stunned for a moment.
His words weren't harsh, but they slapped her hard in the face.
The implication is that his tolerance of her is all because of her father.
It has nothing to do with her as a person.
Although she liked him and threw herself at him recklessly, she also had dignity and self-respect.
She will be sad too.
She had never been treated like this since she was a child.
Gu Zhiyuan raised her eyes, trying not to look abnormal. She raised her head and said with a clear anger: "No need for you to invite me, I can leave by myself."
She took two steps out, then turned around abruptly, collected the lunch box she had brought from the table and threw it into the trash can: "Just feed it to the dog!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Shen Xubai looked at her childish behavior without much fluctuation.
However, when she glared at him just now, there seemed to be a flash of tears in her eyes.
Crying?
Shen Xubai's fingertips moved slightly. This was good, as he could completely give up.
He did not touch the dinner that Luo Yan brought in, but continued to deal with the work at hand.
When I left the company, it was already late and it was drizzling.
Luo Yan was driving the black Bentley at a constant speed on the road.
Suddenly, he slowed down and looked back at Shen Xubai: “Mr. Shen, that seems to be Miss Gu.”
Shen Xubai was resting with his eyes closed. Upon hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Under the dim streetlights, the rain was broken into long, thin lines. A young girl in a pale yellow slip dress limped along, her high heels in hand, her head lowered, her expression unclear.
However, the exposed skin was glowing white, which was undoubtedly dangerous on such a sparsely populated rainy night.
Shen Xubai frowned subconsciously: "Stop the car."
