Chapter 407 Someone Disobeys You
Wang Yuanling's brain was working rapidly.
His smile froze slightly. "Mr. Gu, you just said that these two things are separate and do not interfere with each other."
Gu Zhou said slowly: "It is separated, so I asked you to choose one, not two."
It's just far-fetched talk.
She bit her lip and asked, "What if I don't want to choose either of them?"
Gu Zhou spoke lazily: "Then I'll take it as your tacit acceptance of my confession."
Her pupils dilated.
Wen Wan's face showed an unusual lack of composure, and she was a little indignant: "How can you force people like this?"
He didn't feel guilty at all about being scolded, and said calmly: "I just don't want to be caught by some sleepwalker and complain to me again, and not even be able to sleep."
She retorted with a forced smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, if you don't live in my house, your sleep won't be disturbed."
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows, a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes: "Don't you know my password?"
She was slightly startled: "What?"
Gu Zhou leaned forward slightly, looking at her leisurely, with a faint smile on his lips: "Who knows if you will sleepwalk and open my door in the middle of the night, stand by my bed and complain to me."
Wang Yuanling thought about the scene for a moment.
Very thrilling.
She gritted her teeth and said, "If Mr. Gu is scared, he can change the password."
Gu Zhou said lazily, "That's too troublesome." He turned back and said lazily, "It's better to solve the problem from the source. If you need money, I can lend it to you."
The unit she reported was 100 million.
Not Yuan.
He was so nonchalant that it made her teeth itch.
She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Gu Zhou was not in a hurry either.
He supported his head with his right hand and stared at her calmly. His eyes were quiet but penetrating, as if he was admiring a butterfly trapped in a glass cover, patiently waiting for her choice.
She swallowed softly in her throat and deliberately asked a pointed question: "With such a large amount of money, Mr. Gu, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get the money back if you lend it to me?"
Gu Zhou raised the corner of his lips: "Will you run away?"
She paused: "No..."
"Then what should I be afraid of?"
She choked.
Seeing her hesitant expression, she still refused to give in.
Gu Zhou chuckled softly, his voice full of knowing sarcasm: "I understand if you reject my confession, but you also reject my help? Boss Ling is now worried that the pie in the sky may have come from unknown sources?"
She remained silent, her fingers hanging at her sides slightly curled up.
But it did not affect Gu Zhou's ability to justify himself at all.
His dark eyes narrowed suddenly, and the light leaking out from the slits of his eyes was as sharp as a thin blade. With undisguised scrutiny, it swept across her face, neck, and shoulder line inch by inch, and finally fell heavily on her slightly heaving chest.
The corners of his lips curled up into a vague smile, and his voice deepened a bit, with a tentative edge: "Or, you don't need this money at all."
Wang Yuanling's spirit tensed up instantly.
That sharp gaze seemed to penetrate her disguise and go straight to her core.
She felt clearly that he was suspicious!
Adjust your strategy immediately, change your polite refusal to obedience, and stop defying him.
She looked embarrassed. "Mr. Gu, you misunderstood. I really do need this cash flow, but... this is not a small amount after all, and it involves a large external loan for the group. According to Wang's charter, a collective meeting of the board of directors is required to make a decision. Our group's... internal procedures have always been cumbersome and complicated. So, I really appreciate your kindness, but for now... I'm afraid it's better to forget it."
This explanation is reasonable and the attitude is humble.
However, Gu Zhou only raised his eyebrows casually, his deep gaze fixed on her, and he spoke word by word, precisely piercing the gaps in her words: "Is it the process that is complicated, or... the people?"
He is so sharp.
I immediately grasped the real pain point behind the deliberately vague word "complex" in her words.
She smiled awkwardly, as if something unspeakable had been revealed, and said helplessly, "To be honest, I just took over Wang's company not long ago. All the senior executives of Wang's company used to take orders directly from Wang Yaozu..."
Gu Zhou's eyes flashed deep, and he saw blood in his eyes: "Is there anyone who doesn't obey you?"
She put it nicely: "After all, when the new and the old merge, there's always a period of adjustment. That's quite normal."
Gu Zhou's inquiring eyes passed over her gentle face and he said, "I borrowed the money from you, not Wang's."
Wang Yuanling's eyelashes froze slightly, and she quickly replied, "But the money I borrowed from Mr. Gu is to be used for Wang's project. It belongs to the public, so my say doesn't count."
Gu Zhou's lips gradually straightened, and he stopped insisting. Instead, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
Wang Yuanling was confused and didn't know who he should call.
Seeing his lips parted slightly: "I'm in the parking lot, come down."
The other side responded: "Okay, Mr. Gu."
It was the voice of Qin's special assistant.
Wait until he hangs up the phone.
Wang Yuanling's eyes were filled with doubt, and she spoke tentatively: "Boss Gu, if you and Special Assistant Qin still have things to do, I'll leave first."
Gu Zhou lifted his dark eyes from the phone screen, glanced at her calmly, and said in an unquestionable commanding tone, "Sit down."
Wang Yuanling:?
Soon, Assistant Qin appeared at the entrance of the parking lot. He hurried over and stopped precisely outside Gu Zhou's car window.
Wang Yuanling's eyes were filled with deep confusion as he followed Special Assistant Qin closely until he stopped.
At this time, Gu Zhou pushed open the car door and stepped out.
The slightly cool air outside and the faint smell of gasoline unique to the parking lot mixed into the car and gently brushed across Wang Yuanling's cheek.
This subtle change in air flow made her subconsciously refocus her gaze back onto Gu Zhou.
He rested his slender fingertips on the door frame, and with a casual expression, he instructed Special Assistant Qin: "Drive for Boss Ling. Wherever she wants to go, you take her there."
Wang Yuanling then realized his intention of calling Qin Special Assistant down. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, but he politely declined: "Don't bother! Where I want to go is very close, I can walk there."
Gu Zhou glanced at Special Assistant Qin lazily.
Special Assistant Qin immediately understood who to listen to.
He walked around to Wang Yuanling's car door and took the initiative to open it for her: "Boss Ling, please change seats, I'll drive."
Wang Yuanling was torn, but when she saw Qin's smiling, waiting expression, as if he wouldn't leave unless she agreed, she gave in. She stepped out of the driver's seat and smiled at Qin, who was opening the door for her. "I'm so sorry to bother you."
Special Assistant Qin: "Boss Ling, you're welcome."
He got into the driver's seat.
Wang Yuanling, who was standing outside, looked over the roof of the car at Gu Zhou, whose dark eyes were slightly narrowed and whose posture was lazy.
Seems to have noticed.
He raised his eyes, his expression distracted: "Why? You want me to accompany you?"
Wang Yuanling smiled perfunctorily: "Mr. Gu, you're joking."
Gu Zhou raised the corner of his lips slightly: "If you want me to accompany you, it's not impossible."
Wang Yuanling: I don’t really miss it, please don’t disturb me, thank you.
