Chapter 89
Since the weird meeting in the afternoon, the people in the sales department have been in an uproar. Many people's attitude towards Su Bai has suddenly changed.
Everyone thought that Su Bai would be fired or punished for this, but not only did she not get fired, but Mr. Gu was much gentler towards her during the meeting.
"Su Bai, have you met Mr. Gu before?" Lin Han asked curiously, leaning forward.
"Never seen it" Su Bai shook his head
"That's strange..." Lin Han scratched his forehead, his face full of confusion: "I heard from the people at the head office that Mr. Gu is decisive and ruthless in his work. He can't tolerate any sand in his eyes."
"I heard that a few days ago, the head of the planning department made some stupid mistake and was fired on the spot by her... He was a relative of a director at headquarters, and she didn't show him mercy."
"And don't you think Mr. Gu's eyes looking at you are strange?"
Su Bai was stunned: "Really?"
"Yes, very much, very much." Lin Han nodded affirmatively: "She was so distracted by you in front of so many people! That look... was very gentle."
"Really..." Su Bai's face flushed
Xiao Peiyin sat aside, listening to the two people whispering, and felt as if her heart was being eaten by thousands of insects and ants, causing her to feel unbearable pain and itchiness.
Indeed, she also saw that Cunxi's eyes towards Su Bai were warm, and that look was very warm...
"Hey... I heard that our Mr. Gu is not married and doesn't even have a boyfriend."
"Do you think it could be..." Lin Han paused.
Bai Yu: "What is it?"
"He just likes women. Just look at the way she looks at Su Bai..." Lin Han chuckled
The hand that was typing on the keyboard stopped instantly because of Lin Han's words. Xiao Peiyin was stunned and stood aside. She felt like someone was pinching her heart. She turned her head and looked at the conversation between the few people. She felt unhappy.
"Su Bai, maybe today's incident is because Mr. Gu is interested in you, so he let you go!" Lin Han became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Okay... stop talking," Su Bai stopped him, his face full of shyness.
"If it's true...you've got to seize the opportunity!"
“…”
"Lin Han, you are getting more and more outrageous. You even let Su Bai seize the opportunity. Ms. Gu is a woman..." Bai Yu curled her lips and gave Lin Han a look.
"What's wrong with being a woman? With Mr. Gu's conditions, is gender still an issue?"
“…”
Thick documents filled half of the desk in the office. Gu Cunxi sat aside, flipping through reports. From time to time, Su Bai's eyes would appear in his mind...
She put the report aside, not wanting to read it, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes slightly.
All she could see was the face she loved and hated, the one she thought about day and night...
Missing you is like a mad dog, barking in my heart
"Mr. Gu, you called me?" Xiao Nuo knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hmm..." Gu Cunxi rubbed his forehead, his tone tired: "I have booked a company dinner at the Carls Hotel. After get off work tonight, you can take the company people there to relax. Everyone has been working hard recently."
"Okay, Mr. Gu." Xiao Nuo paused, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Anything else?" Gu Cunxi raised his eyebrows and asked
"You're not going?"
"No, I'd be very reserved in front of everyone, and then this wouldn't be a relaxing meal, would it?"
“…”
Xiao Nuo didn't answer.
"Don't worry about the bill, it's my personal account."
"Okay, then I'd like to thank Mr. Gu on behalf of the company!" Xiao Nuo nodded.
After Xiao Nuo left, the office fell into silence again. After a while, the phone next to him rang. It was Jiang Rao calling.
"Are you sober? Lawyer Jiang?" Gu Cunxi answered the phone and asked with a smile.
“…”
"Thank you for sending me back yesterday. Did I behave myself last night?" Jiang Rao asked nervously.
Gu Cunxi couldn't help but chuckle, feeling that asking such a question was not like Jiang Rao at all: "Are you also afraid of losing your composure after drinking?"
“…”
"I'm afraid of causing trouble for Mr. Gu. Besides, I have to maintain my image, okay?"
"Nothing out of control..." Gu Cunxi replied
"That's great. Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
"No... I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest. Maybe another day." Gu Cunxi casually flipped through the documents on the table.
After hanging up the phone, the file was thrown aside again
Can't see anything...
She had been planning to accept Jiang Rao's invitation on the phone, but what happened in the conference room that afternoon made her feel depressed. She had no energy to do anything the whole afternoon and was exhausted to the extreme.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, it was drizzling outside and the sky was dark. Gu Cunxi leaned on the sofa in the office and fell asleep without knowing when.
She couldn't sleep again last night
Gu Cunxi looked at her watch, put away the documents on the table, and walked out. Now she just wanted to lie on the bed and have a good sleep, without thinking about anything else.
There was a woman standing at the entrance of the building. Gu Cunxi approached and found that it was Su Bai...
For a moment, that face came to mind again
"Didn't I arrange a dinner party tonight? Everyone in the company has gone, why are you still here?" Gu Cunxi asked after approaching.
Su Bai turned around upon hearing the voice and immediately became nervous: "Hello, Mr. Gu..."
She raised her hand and unconsciously adjusted her hair and continued, "I didn't finish some work, so I came out a little late..."
"Yeah." Gu Cunxi nodded, and looked at him for two more seconds. Just as he was about to leave, Su Bai called out from behind: "Mr. Gu..."
"Something?" She turned around and raised her eyebrows and asked
"Thank you for this afternoon." Su Bai nodded and smiled
"Thank me for what?"
“Thank you for not punishing me.”
"Hmm" Gu Cunxi smiled bitterly and turned away.
She should thank the woman who looks like her...
…
The rain outside was getting heavier. After Gu Cunxi got the car, she drove out of the parking lot. She saw Su Bai standing by the ring road next to the building, as if she was trying to get a taxi. She didn't bring an umbrella, so she took shelter under a tree, but she was still half wet.
Gu Cunxi hesitated for a moment, drove over, stopped in front of Su Bai, rolled down the window and said, "This is a busy road, it's hard to get a taxi during the evening rush hour."
"Boss Gu," Su Bai lowered her body, the rain hitting her face, making her look a little embarrassed. Gu Cunxi paused for two seconds and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you there."
Su Bai was stunned, opened his mouth but couldn't speak, and hesitated whether to go up
The car behind was honking its horn to hurry up. Seeing that Su Bai didn't respond, Gu Cunxi said impatiently: "What are you waiting for? There are no taxis here..."
"Oh..." Su Bai was stunned, opened the car door and got in.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu"
There was a fragrance in the car. Su Bai sat in the passenger seat, his expression becoming more and more nervous.
"Seat belt," Gu Cunxi glanced at her and urged
Along the way, Su Bai held his breath nervously, his eyes secretly glancing to the side.
Gu Cunxi never spoke to Su Bai since she fastened her seat belt. In fact, it was all because she looked like her, otherwise she would never let Su Bai get in her car.
After passing several main roads, Gu Cunxi drove the car very fast and stopped at the door of the hotel. He looked ahead and said lightly, "We're here."
Su Bai was stunned for a few seconds, looked out the window, and then turned around and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Seeing that she had no intention of getting out of the car, Gu Cunxi frowned and urged: "Aren't you going in yet?"
"Boss Gu, don't you want to go together?" Su Bai asked boldly.
"get off!"
A low growl of displeasure
Su Bai was stunned, and said nothing more. He unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu..." He opened the car and walked out, then turned around and said, "Mr. Gu..."
"Gu Cunxi didn't say anything, but raised his eyebrows at her.
"Please drive safely on the road!"
She turned her eyes away from Su Bai, did not respond, rolled up the car window, and drove away
“…”
The second floor of the Carls Hotel was filled with laughter and joy. Gu Cunxi had booked the entire floor because the company had many departments and ordinary venues could not meet their needs.
"Su Bai, you're here. Come and sit down. I saved a seat for you." Lin Han stood up and pulled a chair beside her. "Why are you so wet?" Lin Han handed her a tissue. Su Bai took it and wiped it while saying, "On the way... I couldn't get a taxi."
"It's hard to get a taxi today, so how did you get here?"
"Mr. Gu sent me here." She said this with a hint of shyness in her tone.
Xiao Peiyin sat not far from her, with his back to the door, but he heard everything clearly. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand, and stood there in a daze, with a dark look in his eyes.
Because of Su Bai's words, everyone in the box fell silent for a moment, and then there was another exclamation. Even the sales director Fu Bowen's eyes softened when he looked at her.
"I told you that Mr. Gu treats you differently!" Lin Han laughed, put his arm around her shoulders, and acted like he had found a reliable supporter. "From now on, our sales department will be relying on you, Su Bai!"
"Boss Gu is so partial to you. If we have any problems in the future, you have to help us out."
In the box, you and I were talking, and these words fell into Xiao Peiyin's ears, like a thorn in her back. She regretted that she shouldn't have come here today! If she didn't hear these words, she wouldn't be so sad.
"Mr. Gu just gave me a ride!" Su Bai lowered her head and chuckled. Her eyes sparkled when she mentioned Gu Cunxi.
"Then why didn't Mr. Gu come to see me off?" Lin Han joked
Xiao Peiyin took in Su Bai's smile and the evasiveness in her eyes. She felt a tightness in her heart as if someone was strangling her.
…
Gu Cunxi drove the car out not far, and found a mobile phone on the passenger seat. She thought that Su Bai was the only one who had ridden in her car today, so the phone was hers.
This person...either forgets to turn off his phone or forgets to take it. He is so careless. Apart from his eyebrows and eyes resembling hers, he is not likable at all.
Gu Cunxi parked the car on the side of the road, looked back at the Carls Hotel which was two blocks away from her, thought for a moment, turned the steering wheel and turned back.
She called Xiao Nuo several times on the way, but no one answered. She wanted Xiao Nuo to come out and give the phone to Su Bai, but she couldn't contact him.
She parked the car at the door of Carls Hotel and walked inside
There was a lot of noise on the second floor. Gu Cunxi frowned and knocked on the door of box number one. The noise inside stopped instantly.
"Mr. Gu?" Fu Bowen stood up instantly.
Xiao Peiyin was stunned on the spot. Her trembling hands accidentally knocked down the chopsticks beside her. She didn't dare to pick them up...
The people in the box seemed to be petrified. It was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop. Su Bai sat at the innermost part, facing the door. Gu Cunxi saw her and said coldly, "Cellphone!"
"Yours, right?"
Su Bai quickly touched her pocket and realized that her phone had fallen into Mr. Gu's car. She hurried over to pick it up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Xiao Peiyin had her back to the door. The moment she heard her voice, her heartbeat stopped and her whole body tensed up. She didn't dare look back, let alone move. Her palms were covered with fine beads of sweat...
"Mr. Gu, please join us." Fu Bowen pulled out the chair next to him, but Gu Cunxi waved his hand to refuse: "No, you guys have fun. If there's not enough food, order more!"
“…”
Everyone in the box breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Cunxi looked around at everyone in the box and was about to leave, but when she turned around, a figure caught her eye and she was stunned on the spot.
“!”
The woman had her back to the door, her head lowered, her long chestnut hair cascading down over her shoulders like a waterfall.
Gu Cunxi froze at the door, his eyes narrowed
Air condensation
The people in the box turned around suddenly after Gu Cunxi left. The pair of dangerous and angry eyes made everyone hold their breath.
“…”
Xiao Peiyin knew that the person behind her had not left, and she had discovered herself! She unconsciously clenched her hands and bit her lips so hard that they lost their color.
"Boss Gu?" Fu Bowen looked at her suspiciously.
After a few steps, Gu Cunxi couldn't move and her breathing became rapid. She was not sure if it was her, but the back figure looked too similar!
"Mr. Gu, are you okay?" Su Bai asked
Gu Cunxi could not hear any sounds around her. She stood at the door for a long time before holding her breath and slowly approaching the woman with her back to her. Her body was shaking unconsciously, and her heart was breaking with every step she took.
One step behind the woman, Gu Cunxi stopped, bent down to pick up the chopsticks that had fallen on the ground, and placed them next to her hand. Gu Cunxi did not turn her head to see the woman's face clearly, because she recognized her with just that one hand.
That hand has been repeated in her dreams for four years
Gu Cunxi supported herself by the back of her chair, trying to control her tone. She turned her head and said coldly, "Dirty chopsticks are not acceptable!"
She deliberately emphasized the word "dirty"!
Xiao Peiyin was stunned by the dirty chopsticks, and her face lost all color in an instant. Gu Cunxi's words hurt her in an instant.
In her heart, she is the dirty pair of chopsticks...
