Cheng Qicai would definitely not let such a thing happen, so she tried her best to dissuade Gu Rongqi: "You don't even know each other, I'm afraid it will be awkward for the two of you. Besides, judging from your appearance, you should go back and rest first."
As the time on her phone drew closer, she frequently glanced at the front door.
Seeing her increasingly nervous expression, Gu Rongqi's lips curled slightly, and he slowly asked, "Have you ever considered that the person you made an appointment with is me?"
“How could that be…” Cheng Qicai retorted instinctively.
Then, looking into Gu Rongqi's serious eyes, she slowly widened her eyes.
All the doubts in his mind connected: Yun Suni's strange attitude, her vague contact information, and the conditions she mentioned all matched Gu Rongqi's...
Even when Gu Rongqi appeared in front of her by such a coincidence, she did not doubt that Yun Suni was deceiving her.
This is something I never expected!
After figuring everything out, she asked incredulously, "How did you manage to conspire with my sister?"
“It wasn’t exactly collusion, we had been in contact before,” Gu Rongqi said. “It’s just that when I heard she was going on a blind date, I was afraid you’d run off with someone else, so I reserved a spot for me with your sister.”
Although Gu Rongqi spoke lightly, she, having been deceived, did not believe his casual tone at all.
Cheng Qicai rolled her eyes at him and couldn't help but accuse him: "No, why do you always resort to these tricks?"
Gu Rongqi looked at her for a while, then leaned his upper body more towards her. "But if I didn't use these tricks, wouldn't you have forgotten me long ago? And then this seat wouldn't be occupied by me, but by another man who doesn't know me."
Cheng Qicai's eyes darted around, not looking at Gu Rongqi opposite her, "...No, I don't have amnesia, how could I not remember you?"
Hearing Cheng Qicai's evasive answer, Gu Rongqi let out a soft laugh.
Gu Rongqi stopped discussing this topic with Cheng Qicai and instead asked, "Now that I'm your blind date, is there anything you'd like to know?"
“…No.” Cheng Qicai didn’t expect him to get into the blind date role so quickly.
As expected of a veteran, haha!
"Alright then, let me tell you about myself. I'm 187cm tall, weigh 77kg, and my body measurements are..."
"Hey, hey..." Cheng Qicai quickly stopped Gu Rongqi when she heard him seriously introducing his basic information.
She stared into Gu Rongqi's eyes, sighed, and said earnestly, "You know the reason perfectly well."
Gu Rongqi remained silent, gazing back into Cheng Qicai's eyes as if staring into her very soul, causing her heart to pound uncomfortably.
She couldn't stand the way Gu Rongqi was looking at her, and just as she was about to look away, she heard Gu Rongqi speak: "I know, but my six months in G country weren't just about taking care of my grandfather..."
When he first went to G City, it was indeed to take care of his grandfather. But when his grandfather's condition improved and he was about to return to China, his grandfather stopped him.
They wouldn't directly prevent him from contacting anyone, but they would indirectly detain him in Country G.
His grandfather wanted him to stay in G country to develop his career, but after he firmly refused, his grandfather then asked him to stay in G country temporarily so that he could take care of him.
At that time, his grandfather's condition was not recovering very well. Seeing that the once strong and vigorous middle-aged man had now turned white-haired and weak, and then asking him to stay and keep him company for a while, even though it was a trap, he found it hard to refuse this request.
He also knew that this was just an excuse to hold him back.
During his time in Country G, he would take pictures of his daily life and send them to Cheng Qicai. Sometimes she would reply quickly, and sometimes she would reply slowly.
During these periods of waiting, his heart was always in turmoil. He would wonder if Cheng Qicai had made new friends, since she could easily chat with anyone.
Compared to those of the same type as her, he had absolutely no advantage.
For about two months, he pushed his grandfather along the road covered with fallen leaves, the wheelchair making a clattering sound as it rolled over them.
Decaying and fragile.
Although they were pushing their grandfather out for a walk, the person pushing the wheelchair seemed to be in a worse mood than the other two.
A long sigh echoed from below, and an aged voice came from below, "Rong Qi, how about this, tomorrow you will join the company I told you about before."
"I don't……"
"Don't refuse yet. What I mean is, if you meet the requirements I set for you, you can go back to your country."
Gu Rongqi instantly understood Gu Zhongshan's meaning; these words were tantamount to a concession.
Gu Zhongshan told Gu Rongqi his requirements, some rather stringent conditions. Normally, it would take Gu Rongqi at least a year to meet Gu Zhongshan's requirements.
But he couldn't tell Cheng Qicai, "Wait for me for another year." That would be too shameless of him.
He could only keep working hard, compressing his time, to achieve the goal that Daguzhong Mountain had given him.
He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he handed the complete target to Gu Zhongshan.
It seems that he can complete the matter he made with Yun Suni as planned.
Gu Zhongshan carefully read through the report, then closed it and casually placed it on the table. The result of Gu Rongqi's hard work for so long seemed like a piece of insignificant waste paper.
Gu Zhongshan's hoarse voice echoed in the empty room, "Go."
Upon hearing the two casual words "Gu Zhongshan," Gu Rongqi's tense heart instantly relaxed, followed by a strong sense of urgency.
