Qi Nuan flipped through the pages again. Apart from two articles that briefly exposed the relationship between Li Yuan and Gu Hui, and two blurry videos that appeared to show Mr. Lu's ex-wife tearing apart the mistress, the other reports were basically the same, with nothing new.
Seeing that it was almost noon, she stood up and prepared to take the initiative to find Hao Lili to have lunch together this time.
At this moment, the phone on the table vibrated.
Qi Nuan picked it up and saw that the other party had set a restricted call again, and the phone number was not displayed.
She didn't answer. The phone vibrated for a long time before she hung up.
After a few seconds, her phone vibrated again with the same display.
Qi Nuan couldn't guess who this person was. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to answer the phone.
"Hello."
"Miss Qi is too cautious to answer the phone."
The male voice coming from the radio was very recognizable. It was Gu Hui, the heir of the Gu family who was very good at "catching people's eyes".
After hanging up the phone, Qi Nuan sighed helplessly at the other party's unyielding attitude.
She remembered that day Lu Yin said that he would assign someone to protect her.
Someone reports her every move to him, so there is no need for her to make the reporting phone call.
Raising his wrist to check the time for the third time, Qi Nuan sighed and could only pick up the hot milk in front of him and take another sip.
Even if she was not an important client, it was too late for Gu Hui to make the invitation.
From the education she received since childhood, the successor of a large enterprise must not only calculate the busyness by the minute, but at least be absolutely punctual.
Compared to the heir of the Gu Group who had made an appointment with her but did not show up for nearly an hour, Qi Nuan secretly felt that it would be better to hand over the Gu Group to a responsible leader like Lu Yin.
Originally, Mr. Gu wanted her to wait on the roadside.
She had just been released from the expensive VIP ward, so there was absolutely no reason for her to get sick from the cold and stay in there for a few days.
Fortunately, there is a cafe in a shopping mall not far away, and I can see the outside clearly through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Qi Nuan's throat was still a little uncomfortable, and it was already night. In order to prevent her from spending the rest of the beautiful weekend in insomnia, she could only order a cup of decaffeinated hot milk in the cafe.
One hour and seven minutes after the agreed time, a blue Rolls-Royce Cullinan stopped at the agreed location with Qi Nuan.
Qi Nuan got up and went out, walking towards the car.
As night fell and the cold set in, she could see the white mist formed by her breath swirling in the light of the car lights.
If I had known I would be moving around at night, I would have worn a cotton coat that was easy to move in.
Qi Nuan tightened the collar of her fitted cashmere coat, trying hard not to hunch her shoulders.
Approaching the lowered passenger window, she sideways glanced into the car.
It was not a full-time driver, but Gu Hui himself who sat in the driver's seat.
"Get in the car." Mr. Gu raised his chin towards the passenger seat.
Qi Nuan hesitated for a moment, and glanced behind him the moment he opened the car door.
If this man hadn't mentioned the threat to the reputation of the deceased elder of the Qi family on the phone, she would never have come to see him after get off work.
Lu Yin said that he had someone to protect him, that’s true, right?
When she sat in the passenger seat, she saw Gu Hui looking her up and down with his head tilted.
"She truly must be a daughter from a wealthy family. She can wear an ordinary coat and look so elegant. That's a temperament those actresses can never imitate."
Qi Nuan tried her best to make her facial expression appear softer and turned her face slightly to the side.
"Vice Chairman, you're too kind. My coat just fits me perfectly, and I have to hold it a little higher to prevent it from getting wrinkled."
Gu Hui paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "No wonder my cousin, who doesn't like women, treats her so specially. Miss Qi is truly interesting."
He glanced at Qi Nuan's exposed left wrist, then stopped smiling, turned around, stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
Qi Nuan was startled by the rush of the car and quickly buckled up his seat belt.
After driving for a while, we arrived at the Friday evening rush hour.
Even the heir of the Gu family could do nothing about this common situation among ordinary people.
Qi Nuan broke the silence after he cursed out the window for the third time and slammed the steering wheel.
"Where are you going? Actually, there's no one else around, so we can talk in the car."
Gu Hui ignored Qi Nuan's question.
He observed the road conditions, squeezed in front of a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, and then changed lanes to the right twice in a row, leaving the main road of the expressway and entering the more congested auxiliary road.
After a series of operations, while being stuck and waiting, the fashionable Mr. Gu took out an old-fashioned non-smartphone, pressed the number "1" and dialed.
"Follow my navigation route, clear the road, clear the area."
After saying this, he hung up the phone.
Qi Nuan only had time to take a quick glance before he stuffed the old antique back into his pocket.
Although her family has fallen on hard times, she still has the common sense of a heir to a large corporation.
Although smart electronic products have many conveniences in terms of usability, they also have many security drawbacks that can easily lead to privacy theft.
Of course, most people are open and honest, so there is no need to worry too much.
And someone like Gu Hui just now...
There are dedicated non-smartphones with shortcut keys that allow you to connect with the call in one click, and you don’t have to worry about the other party’s response.
All this can only mean that this Mr. Gu must have a lot of secrets, and the helpers who carry out these secret operations have a tacit understanding with him, and they just give orders without saying much.
