Chapter 66
Since the establishment of the marketing department, Gu Cunxi has been getting busier and busier. In the early days, everything was too immature and the work that needed to be done was piled up one by one. Thinking about it carefully, the last time he had lunch with Pei Yin was a week ago.
"I miss her a little bit..." Gu Cunxi sighed slightly
Recently, with Bai Qingyu and Duan Rui, the three of them were either out running the market at noon or negotiating venue cooperation with some small shopping malls... They were busy all day long. On the other hand, Lin Hanchen and Su Ci's online promotion was in full swing. The two of them worked very well together. Lin Hanchen was responsible for technical support, while Su Ci was responsible for soft article promotion. Over time, the company's traffic has greatly improved, and all departments have been busier than usual.
Pei Yin was not idle either. Taking advantage of Cunxi's busy time, she went to many furniture stores in Jianghuai City in her spare time except for work. The house in Mingjiang Garden was almost decorated.
“Ding ding~”
A WeChat message was displayed on the screen. Cunxi opened it and found that it was sent by Pei Yin. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
【Can’t we have lunch together again? 】
The text was followed by a small expression of grievance. Gu Cunxi pursed his lips and replied to the message.
I have to discuss venue cooperation with the person in charge of Lifeng Shopping Mall this afternoon, so I won't be able to make it back to have dinner with you.
【I'll pick you up from work in the evening! 】
Looking at the WeChat dialog box, she was lost in thought. Thinking carefully, the only time she and Pei Pei could spend together in the past month was in the evenings. Sometimes she would have social events with the mall manager at night, so they couldn't even eat dinner together...
Because some outdoor activities require renting shopping malls, Gu Cunxi went to many small and medium-sized shopping malls in Jianghuai City. However, due to cost issues, some shopping malls with advantages in traffic often have venue rental prices that exceed the market price, so the two sides have always been arguing over the price issue.
Gu Cunxi sacrificed many opportunities to have dinner with Pei Yin, and repeatedly engaged in a tug-of-war with the person in charge of Lifeng. Finally... during the social gathering yesterday, the other party's person in charge finally gave in...
I met with the person in charge of Lifeng this afternoon to make the final negotiation. If everything goes well, Lifeng, known as the holy land of abortion, can be secured.
【Then I will take care of lunch by myself】
[By the way, our home is almost ready, and we can move in in the next few days! ]
The phone rang, and it was Pei Yin's message. Recently, he had been busy running around the mall, and the decoration of the house was all handed over to Pei Yin. She must be exhausted. Gu Cunxi decided to have a good dinner with Pei Yin in the evening.
[Thank you for your hard work, Pei Pei. I'm looking forward to it!]
【Let’s have dinner together tonight and reward you～】
After the message was sent, she sent a cute little rabbit emoticon
Pei Yin looked at the WeChat message and couldn't hide the smile on her face. She was touched by the cute little rabbit sent by Gu Cunxi.
"Mr. Gu, it's almost time," Bai Qingyu said as he walked over.
Gu Cunxi looked at his watch and saw that the time he had agreed to meet with the Lifeng manager was one o'clock.
"Well... let's go over there."
Thinking about having lunch with Cunxi in the evening, Pei Yin started looking forward to it since noon. He decided to just have a simple lunch...
"Dong Dong Dong~"
There was a knock on the office door. Pei Yin looked up and saw Cheng Sheng standing at the door...
Ever since that team building, the atmosphere between him and Cheng Sheng has always been a little awkward, and they are not as comfortable as before when they are together. As for what Cunxi said to Cheng Sheng that day, Pei Yin never asked.
"Um...Sister Pei Yin"
"What's wrong, Cheng Sheng?" Pei Yin raised his eyebrows and asked
"Want to have lunch together?"
Pei Yin was silent for a moment, smiled and nodded and said: Okay, what do you want to eat?
"Well... there's a pretty good western restaurant nearby. Sister Pei Yin, do you want to try it?" Cheng Sheng whispered, with a hint of embarrassment in his tone.
"Sure, let's go eat Western food." Pei Yin smiled and walked to Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng brought Pei Yin to the western restaurant he had been to with Sister Cunxi that day. It was almost lunchtime and the restaurant was a little noisy.
"Sister Pei Yin, what do you want to eat?"
"It's my treat!" Cheng Sheng added
Pei Yin smiled softly, looked at Cheng Sheng and asked: Why do you want to invite me? If anyone wants to invite someone, it should be me who invites you.
"Just... I want to treat Sister Pei Yin to a meal."
"Look at what to eat"
Although she was a little puzzled as to why Cheng Sheng suddenly wanted to treat her to a meal, after thinking about it, Pei Yin didn't ask any more questions...
The two ordered a plate of spaghetti bolognese, two glasses of juice, and a plate of macaroni. Although there were many people eating at noon, the restaurant served the food very quickly.
The meal was served soon.
"Sister Pei Yin, how about you try it?" Cheng Sheng said with a smile, and then lowered his head to eat two bites of his pasta.
"Hmm~ tastes good," Pei Yin said after taking a bite
"Yeah, yeah~ Sister Cunxi brought me here before, and I thought it tasted good."
Pei Yin paused for a moment, then regained his composure and nodded.
Cheng Sheng suddenly realized that what he had just said seemed a little inappropriate.
"Sister Pei Yin..."
"Hmm?" Pei Yin looked up at Cheng Sheng and raised his eyebrows.
"Sister Cunxi, tell me everything clearly," Cheng Sheng said softly, without any emotion in his tone.
"Say...what?" Pei Yin asked
"It's about... the team building that day, and..." Cheng Sheng paused.
"Also... Sister Cunxi said she likes you."
Pei Yin pursed her lips and said nothing...
"I'm sorry... Sister Pei Yin, I... I didn't know before, so..."
"Cheng Sheng...you don't need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong. Liking someone is an equal right for everyone. You are not wrong," Pei Yin said gently.
"So...you said you wanted to treat me to a meal, was that to apologize?"
Cheng Sheng nodded and shook his head...
"It's not... It's not for apology, it's for blessing." Cheng Sheng looked at Pei Yin and said softly
"Sister Pei Yin... I hope you can have a good result, so this meal is a blessing!"
Cheng Sheng raised the juice beside him, just like he did to Gu Cunxi that day.
Pei Yin smiled, nodded, picked up the juice beside her and clinked it with Cheng Sheng, accepting her blessing.
Pei Yin didn't want to ask, but after Cheng Sheng mentioned Cunxi's feelings for her, Pei Yin couldn't help but feel curious. She wanted to know what Cunxi said in front of Cheng Sheng. Unable to suppress her curiosity, Pei Yin decided to ask Cheng Sheng.
"Cheng Sheng..."
"Hmm?" Cheng Sheng ate the pasta in front of him and looked at Pei Yin with a puffed mouth.
"That day...what did Cunxi say to you? Can you tell me?" Pei Yin asked, with a little nervousness in her tone.
"Hmm~ Sister Pei Yin wants to know?"
"Hmm... I want to know."
Cheng Sheng paused, a smile on her face, she wanted to keep it a secret.
"Sister Cunxi said that day..."
"say what?"
"Sister Pei Yin...you seem very nervous," Cheng Sheng joked.
"Cheng Sheng!"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you what I'm saying."
Cheng Sheng picked up the juice beside him, took a big sip, put away his joking look, looked at Pei Yin and said
"Sister Cunxi said that you are her only choice in life, no other choice."
"She also said that she couldn't really put into words what she liked about you, but she felt like she liked everything about you, including your imperfections and little flaws. It's like the lyrics of a song: you don't know what's good about some people, but no one can replace them."
After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, Pei Yin was silent for a long time. Her heart was filled with joy and emotion, and her eyes were even a little sore. If she cried at this moment, they would definitely be tears of happiness... Pei Yin turned her head and looked out the window, with a little mist in her eyes.
She... missed Gu Cunxi! She missed him so much...
"Boss Gu... we finally got it, the deal is done!" Bai Qingyu said excitedly.
Gu Cunxi spent the entire afternoon in Lifengcheng's office building, discussing the rental issue with the other party's person in charge. Fortunately... the final result was satisfactory.
"Well...you have worked hard recently," Gu Cunxi nodded and said
"It's not hard, Mr. Gu. It's not in vain that we have negotiated the venue."
Duan Rui and Bai Qingyu were both very happy.
"Now that the venue problem has been solved, we can start the rest of the work. It's getting late, let's go back to the company first," Cunxi said after looking at his watch.
Pei Yin came back from lunch with Cheng Sheng and couldn't concentrate on anything for the whole afternoon. She would think of Gu Cunxi no matter what she did. After finally getting off work, she felt even more anxious and hoped to see her soon!
"Sister Cunxi...you're back?" Cheng Sheng was packing up his workstation and preparing to leave work when he looked up and saw Gu Cunxi rushing back from outside.
"Well...is it time to get off work?" Gu Cunxi asked
"Yes... be proactive after get off work." Cheng Sheng smiled.
"Yeah...see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Gu Cunxi walked towards the office. Instead of returning to the marketing department, he went straight to the sales department. The project had been negotiated, and it was time to think about his own personal affairs.
"Dating!"
"Boss Gu...are we...going straight home from get off work?" Duan Rui and Bai Qingyu stood behind Gu Cunxi and asked blankly.
“…”
Gu Cunxi seemed not to hear and ignored the two of them.
When she arrived at Pei Yin's office door, she pushed it open and walked in. The person inside was about to open the door and walk out, but they bumped into each other.
"Cunxi..."
Pei Yin looked around and saw that the company staff were leaving get off work one after another. It was a bit inappropriate for people to see the two of them being so intimate, so she gently pushed the person who was holding her.
"Let's go... Let's go out first," Pei Yin said gently in Cunxi's ear.
Gu Cunxi nodded, released his arms around Pei Yin, and walked out with her.
"Cunxi...someone will see us," Pei Yin whispered.
"I want to hold you"
A group of four people from the marketing department walked out of the office and saw this scene from a distance... For a moment, everyone was stunned.
"Although I only saw Mr. Gu pulling Xiao Peiyin from the sales department, I always felt like something was wrong..." Duan Rui said in a low voice
Su Ci turned his head and gave Duan Rui a look, then looked at Gu Cunxi approaching and asked
"Boss Gu, shall we get off work first?"
Pei Yin reflexively pulled his hand away and stood beside Cun Xi.
"Well... everyone has worked hard recently, let's go back early." Gu Cunxi nodded and walked out.
"Hey... you guys tell me, does Mr. Gu like it?" Duan Rui said
"Why are you so gossipy?" Su Ci raised his eyebrows.
"Aren't you curious?"
The other three ignored Duan Rui's words and walked out at the same time...
