Chapter 59
At noon, Cunxi came to Pei Yin's office. The two planned to have lunch together. Cunxi thought of Cheng Sheng. She looked at Pei Yin and asked after thinking about it.
"Pei Pei...at noon we will follow Cheng Sheng..."
"Let's go together." Before Cunxi finished speaking, Pei Yin nodded and said
Gu Cunxi pursed her lips and said nothing, but she was a little worried that Pei Yin would think too much about it... She walked over and took Pei Yin's hand, shaking it like a spoiled child.
Pei Yin couldn't help but chuckle at Cunxi's childish behavior: Director Gu, this is the company...if others see it, they will be shocked.
Although she said this, she really liked Gu Cunxi in her heart. Pei Yin held Cunxi's hand and rubbed the back of her hand with her thumb.
"Cheng Sheng...what do you want to eat for lunch?" Cunxi walked to the front desk and looked at Cheng Sheng and asked softly.
Cheng Sheng raised his head and saw Gu Cunxi, and smiled happily: Sister Cunxi, what do you want to eat? I want to eat the same thing as you.
"Then... let's go." Cunxi nodded and walked out first.
The three of them seemed to have their own concerns along the way, and their conversations were no longer as cheerful as they were at the beginning.
"Sister Cunxi, how was the interview this morning? Are there any suitable candidates?" Cheng Sheng suddenly asked
"Well... the personnel have been selected."
Cunxi answered absentmindedly. She wanted to finish the lunch quickly. In fact, she was not good at dealing with such emotional issues, especially when she wanted to deal with it without hurting Cheng Sheng.
The three of them came to the food city. Cunxi followed Pei Yin and ordered the same vegetable salad as her. Cheng Sheng also ordered the same one in order to be like Gu Cunxi. So the three of them sat together with three identical vegetable salads... Cunxi had no idea how to eat.
Pei Yin kept her head down, eating the food in front of her. Her face was emotionless, but she felt like something was blocking her heart. She understood Cheng Sheng's little thoughts. Because he liked someone, he wanted to be close to them, even wanting to eat the same food. Maybe he wanted to taste the same flavor as Cunxi...
"Are you full?" Cunxi asked in a light tone.
Pei Yin originally thought Cunxi was asking her again, but she found out that she had misunderstood and was asking Cheng Sheng...
"Well, it's okay, I'm full." Cheng Sheng said with a bulging mouth full of vegetables.
"Why did you order it if you obviously don't like it?" Cunxi looked at Cheng Sheng with cold eyes.
Noticing Cunxi's displeasure, Cheng Sheng said timidly: I want... to eat the same thing as Sister Cunxi!
After these words were spoken, Gu Cunxi's eyes became even colder. The words that she had been holding back in her heart were about to come out in the next second. Cunxi calmed down her emotions. She still didn't want to embarrass Cheng Sheng with her bluntness.
"Cheng Sheng... our preferences are different!"
Gu Cunxi's implication was to tell Cheng Sheng, "They are not suitable"
After saying that, Cunxi stood up and left without looking at Cheng Sheng's reaction. She walked to a restaurant and ordered a bowl of pork rib rice noodles.
Cheng Sheng understood a little bit of what Cunxi had just said, but at the same time, she seemed to not understand. She tasted a hint of rejection, but she didn't know if it was herself who was being rejected...
After a while, Cunxi brought a bowl of pork rib rice noodles to Cheng Sheng and said lightly
“Salad greens aren’t for you!”
Cheng Sheng took the pork rib rice noodle and placed it in front of her. The steaming hot rice noodle blurred her vision. She lowered her head silently and started eating, muttering to herself:
"Thank you... Sister Cunxi"
Cunxi looked at Cheng Sheng and nodded. Although he couldn't bear to see Cheng Sheng sad, there was no room for a third person in his emotional world. If he wasn't resolute enough, if he wasn't clear enough, Pei Yin would also be hurt...
For a moment, the atmosphere around them became more frozen. Cheng Sheng did not speak anymore. She ate rice noodles quietly, her head lowered. Her eyes felt a little sore, as if tears were swollen in her eyes. She sniffed and tried hard to hold them back, but she felt extremely sad.
On the way back to the company, the atmosphere between the three of them was even more depressing than when they came. Cheng Sheng said nothing and walked beside Cunxi, lowering his head slightly.
"Do you like rice noodles?" Cunxi asked calmly.
"Hmm? Rice noodles...delicious..."
Cheng Sheng answered quietly. She vaguely felt that Gu Cunxi was different today than before. She was very cold and distant towards her. In the past, Cunxi would have accepted her arm around her and would not have avoided her. And just now in the restaurant... those words seemed to have some other meaning... Could it be that her feelings were noticed by Sister Cunxi?
The more Cheng Sheng thought about it, the more panicked he became. He felt it was difficult to face the situation. If he confessed his feelings directly, Sister Cunxi would probably not accept it... Maybe she simply didn't like women. Thinking of this, Cheng Sheng sighed softly like a deflated ball...
After returning to the company, Gu Cunxi went straight to the office, ignoring Cheng Sheng behind him, and only looked back at Pei Yin, his eyes were gentle as if they were filled with stars.
Cheng Sheng, standing nearby, keenly caught this scene and was immediately surprised. That gentle look contained so much emotion... full of doting, something Sister Cunxi never had when she looked at anyone else! Could it be...
That gentle doting only flashed by, and Cheng Sheng hoped that he had seen it wrong, or that he was overthinking it. Cheng Sheng turned his head to look at Xiao Peiyin beside him, frowning slightly, with a complicated expression...
No, Sister Pei Yin is married, there won’t be anything between them… Cheng Sheng shook his head, trying hard to control himself from thinking about it, and walked towards the workstation in a depressed mood.
"Manager Shi, I need you to inform the interview results of the four people I have selected as soon as possible. If there are no problems, I hope they can start work tomorrow," Cunxi said lightly while standing in the office.
"As a result, I have already notified them before noon, and all four of them will be on duty on time tomorrow."
Gu Cunxi smiled and nodded. She didn't expect today's interview to go so smoothly.
"Director Gu, I have a question for you," Shi Qingxian said.
Gu Cunxi was a little surprised. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: Manager Shi, please tell me
"Why did you choose Su Ci? That girl has absolutely no work experience. Did you hire her just because she's published a short story?"
"yes…"
"Director Gu, have you read that novel?" Shi Qingxian asked again.
"No, I only read the introduction. The marketing department's promotional work requires soft articles. Although I haven't read Su Ci's novels, I can tell from the introduction that her writing is very good. At least it attracted me. The content of a novel is certainly important and is the core of the whole, but the title and introduction are the key to attracting readers to open the door to reading. Su Ci knows how to use this key, which is what I need. As for whether her work experience is blank, I don't care."
Shi Qingxian smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement: "I suddenly understand why Mr. Zhang chose you. It seems that I need to learn the vision of recruiters from Director Gu."
Gu Cunxi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Manager Shi, what you said makes me feel a little helpless. When it comes to discovering talents, I am not as good as Manager Shi. I am just looking for what I need."
"My vision is certainly not bad, otherwise Director Gu wouldn't be sitting here."
Hearing Shi Qingxian's words, Gu Cunxi was slightly startled, then smiled softly, remembering the scene when he first came here for an interview. Time flies...
After returning to her office, Cunxi spent the entire afternoon making preliminary plans for the upcoming marketing department. She built it up bit by bit in her mind, just like when she first started at Huahai.
Meanwhile, Pei Yin had a backlog of work on hand. She had been busy working on the weekly report all afternoon. She kept thinking of Cunxi. Since arriving at the company today, they had rarely spoken. They were in the same company, so close to each other, but Pei Yin inexplicably missed her so much...
