Chapter 391 Supporting Her
Ever since the last time I was groped and pushed into the pool by someone who pretended not to hold on firmly, I got soaked.
Wang Yuanling never contacted Ma J again.
But I have to say that this person holds a high position, but he is really narrow-minded.
Or maybe he was angry that he didn't sleep with her.
No one knows how many women he abused his power to sleep with because they wanted his help.
She had just stepped into the private room.
Immediately after, Ma J said, "Hey, isn't this our famous Ling Zong? What brings you here today?"
The other people Ma J brought were all very smart.
As soon as he heard Ma J's tone, he immediately followed Gu Zhou's lead and greeted him warmly. But when he saw her, he lost interest: "Boss Ling, please sit here."
The seats at the table are all very particular.
Important people sit in the main seat in the middle, and the seats on both sides are ranked in descending order of rank.
Like Gu Zhou, he was invited to sit next to the main seat, which was next to Ma J.
We arrived at the last seat, which was where the dishes were served in the past.
It is the default position of the lowest-ranking person in the dinner party.
The other party pointed to this location for her.
This is because Ma J's expression makes her feel troubled.
Wang Yuanling's face remained expressionless, with a decent smile still on the corner of his lips. He was about to open his lips to respond to this silent challenge.
"Boss Ling."
Gu Zhou's voice was not loud, with his usual laziness and casualness, but it was like a stone thrown into the calm water.
In an instant.
All eyes in the private room suddenly focused on him.
He leisurely pulled out the empty chair on his left - a seat of superior position, second only to the main seat and the one on his right.
He rested his slender finger bones on the back of the chair, and turned his dark eyes to Wang Yuanling, his tone still casual: "Sit here, wait, aren't you going to report the project in detail to Ma J?"
Wang Yuanling's watery eyes swept across Ma Liaoding, and she smiled at the man who had just ordered her to sit at the edge, and gestured: Sorry, I can't sit in this last seat.
The man felt humiliated, but because of Gu Zhou, he dared not say anything.
The sound of high heels hitting the tiles was neither too loud nor too low, but it could not be ignored.
She faced his gaze, met his dark gaze, and chuckled, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou responded indifferently: "Yeah."
Everyone's eyes wandered between the two of them and Ma J, with different expressions on their faces.
They all kept silent, waiting for Ma J to speak.
Ma J glanced at Gu Zhou, who looked distracted. He thought to himself and smiled, "Mr. Gu, it's been a while. Why are you still wearing a cast today? What happened to your hand?"
Gu Zhou curled his lips and said indifferently: "It's just an accidental injury, it's nothing serious."
After saying that, he continued politely, "I'm sorry, Ma J. I've been busy with the group lately and haven't had time to visit you. So now that I have some free time, I'll bring my partner, Mr. Ling, to invite you to get together."
When his name was called, Wang Yuanling raised his eyes at the right moment, smiling gracefully and appropriately: "Long time no see, Ma J."
Ma J's triangular eyes held a hint of speculation. "Wow, I didn't expect that President Ling would collaborate with our young talent, President Gu? President Ling, you really know how to select people. You're literally standing on the shoulders of giants. What project can't you accomplish? Everyone, do you think that makes sense? Hahaha."
The laughter was deliberately raised, with obvious incitement and belittlement.
The others at the table immediately understood and echoed, with fake laughter rising one after another:
"Right, right, right! Ma J has a keen eye and is absolutely right!"
"Boss Ling is truly capable. To have found a partner like Boss Gu, he has a bright future!"
"That's right, I'll have to rely on Mr. Gu's support from now on!"
At first glance, these echoes may sound like compliments to Gu Zhou, but in fact, every sentence is implicitly criticizing Wang Yuanling for her own lack of ability and her complete reliance on Gu Zhou, like a dodder trying to cling to him by taking advantage of his power.
Wang Yuanling sat still, the smile on his face not diminishing at all, but his eyes were like ice-hardened glass, coldly sweeping over those flattering faces, too lazy to waste his words.
Amidst the laughter, a lazy yet penetrating voice cut through like a sharp blade: "Ma J, you got it the other way around."
All the laughter seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand and disappeared without a trace.
You could hear a pin drop in the private room, with only the faint sound of air from the air conditioner.
The smile on Ma J's face completely froze, stuck in an extremely awkward arc.
He narrowed his eyes, and his sharp gaze was like a probe, looking at Gu Zhou repeatedly, trying to decipher the deeper meaning from his nonchalant attitude.
Gu Zhou finally raised his eyes, his dark eyes staring directly at Ma J, with a subtle, almost playful curve at the corner of his mouth.
His bony fingers tapped lightly on the polished desk. His voice was low, but every word resonated clearly with everyone's heart: "To be able to collaborate with a top developer like Mr. Dong Ling is an opportunity our group has been 'dreaming of'."
Finally.
As if afraid that no one understood, he leaned forward slightly, with an invisible sense of oppression, his dark eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he spoke lazily: "She is my boss, and I will rely on her for my livelihood in the future."
Like a torpedo.
Silently plunged underwater.
There was an amazing splash.
The splash of water touched her heart and disturbed the peace.
Wang Yuanling smiled sweetly, "Mr. Gu, thank you for your compliment."
Gu Zhou pursed his lips and smiled casually: "I'm speaking the truth, Mr. Ling, there's no need to be overly modest."
Back and forth.
Be polite and respectful to each other.
Who can't see it now?
Gu Zhou, a well-known talent in the business world, was openly supporting Wang Yuanling.
The expressions of watching the fun gradually disappeared from everyone's faces.
One by one, they all shut up, lowered their heads, and watched the expressions of others.
Ma J naturally also sensed Gu Zhou's intention to support Wang Yuanling, and just thought of this.
Suddenly, she met Gu Zhou's gaze, which was as deep as a pool. Although he was smiling, it was inexplicably oppressive.
Ma J almost jumped.
He didn't know when Wang Yuanling got in touch with Gu Zhou.
But look at Gu Zhou's attitude now.
He wouldn't be stupid enough to continue to pick on Wang Yuanling.
After all, he is a veteran in the social scene who has been in the social scene for many years. When he saw that the situation was not right, he quickly changed his course.
He immediately poured a glass of wine and looked at Wang Yuanling with a flattering smile: "When I first met Mr. Ling, I knew that this girl was talented and courageous. She is as capable as any man. Come on, Mr. Ling, I'll toast you a glass!"
This was the first time she heard Ma J speak to her in such a polite tone.
I'm really flattered.
She suppressed the sarcasm in her heart and slightly raised her fingertips on the table.
Gu Zhou, who was standing by, stood up with a wine glass in hand.
In full view of the public.
He touched the rim of his glass to Ma J's and smiled casually, "Ma J, Ms. Ling needs to drive so she can't drink. Ms. Ling and I are partners. She is me and I am her, we are inseparable. So, Ma J, I'm toasting to you on her behalf."
The scene was completely silent.
If someone else had refuted his wine like this.
Ma J had already turned against him.
But the person in front of him was Gu Zhou, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
People will bow their heads only in front of absolute power.
Ma J put on a smile and said, "Yes! Mr. Ling and Mr. Gu are now one! Come on, cheers!"
The wine glasses made a crisp clinking sound.
Gu Zhou smiled politely: "I did it, Ma J, you can do whatever you want."
That's polite.
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, showing the empty cup to Ma J.
Seeing this, Ma J's worries were finally relieved.
The embarrassing situation is over.
Everyone became lively.
Also saw the trend clearly.
Even when toasting, they deliberately mentioned Wang Yuanling's name: "I wish Mr. Ling and Mr. Gu a smooth implementation of their project!", "Me too."...
One glass of wine after another.
Her name is always at the front.
His status was promoted from the very end to the highest position.
And all this.
He fought for it all.
She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Zhou, who was drinking happily and accepting everyone, and her watery eyes were filled with complex waves.
She had seen him socialize, but never drank so much.
I always drink a little or half.
Given his status, it’s enough to just show his respect, and this is everyone’s tacit attitude.
Those who are in high positions of power always do whatever they want without any objection.
After all, the existence of classes is for this purpose.
Why drink every cup to the bottom? Show your sincerity.
He wanted to block the wine for her and also use practical actions to stop others from talking about it.
He represents her, he is her.
Every cup is drunk with full sincerity.
Even if the king of heaven came, he couldn't accuse her of being arrogant and not drinking.
