Gu Lubo asked seriously, "Liji, I heard that Secretary Li didn't see you in the office. Is the project I asked you to do finished?"
Gu Liji's voice became even softer, "No..."
"Where did you go? Don't you know I need to see this project tomorrow?"
"I'm going to eat."
"Why does it take three or four hours to eat? I want the project report on my desk by tomorrow, you hear me?"
"I heard you," Gu Liji replied meekly.
Seeing the phone call end, Gu Liji groaned in despair and turned his car around to head back to the company.
He finally finished watching it around 2 or 3 a.m., and then just slept at the company.
The next day, still sleep-deprived, he handed the documents to Grubber, only to be scolded for producing a bunch of garbage.
Even a clay figure has its temper. Gu Liji said with some emotion, "Uncle, I'm not cut out for this. Why don't you let my brother come back?"
"Back for what?" Guruber's eyebrows shot up.
Seeing that Gu Lubo was about to get angry, Gu Liji's tough stance immediately softened.
"Here's what I think: it wasn't easy for you guys to raise my brother, and now he's not listening to advice. It's rare for him to rebel, so the more you oppose him, the more he'll go against you... I know this all too well. My dad often criticizes me, and I've been holding back my anger, wanting to do the opposite of what he says..."
Seeing Gu Lubo remain silent, Gu Liji continued, "Why don't you just go along with him? If they're not a good match in time, they'll break up on their own without you even having to say anything... Look at me, I liked Yun Su Ni so much back then, and look at me now."
In order to protect his freedom, Gu Liji ruthlessly smeared himself.
Gu Lubo seemed to be softening a bit, but Gu Liji pressed on, "Even if they get married, so what? Aren't there plenty of divorces in our circle? With the gap between them, their conflicts will surface in a year or two at most. You don't even need to create trouble for them..."
"Alright, you can go now." Guruber waved his hand at him. "Take your report, revise it again, and then bring it back."
Guruber's expression was inscrutable, unsure whether he had been persuaded.
Gu Liji returned to his office with his night's worth of "garbage".
Several people also applied for the job at Cheng Qicai's place, and in the end, Cheng Qicai decided to keep one girl.
She'll observe her work attitude for a few days now. If it's good, she can go back to her lazy life once she gets the hang of it.
After a few days, Cheng Qicai felt that this girl was quite nice.
She plans to finish today's work so that she can reduce the number of times she comes here later.
That day, as she was packing her things to leave, she saw an elegant woman in a black and white Chanel-style dress walk into her shop.
Her clothes were obviously expensive, and she wasn't someone who came here for leisure. She looked completely out of place in the store; she seemed more like someone attending a business cocktail party.
Cheng Qicai glanced at her a few more times because of her unique temperament, and the more she looked, the more familiar she seemed.
After thinking about it, a vague impression came to her mind.
She nervously licked her lips, inwardly groaning, "No way? How did such a fresh-faced girl come to me? I'm not prepared at all!"
She stepped forward and called out, "Auntie?"
"Hmm, Cheng Qicai, right?" Qian Zhi glanced at her indifferently.
Cheng Qicai nodded obediently.
She recognized those eyes; wasn't that the look Gu Rongqi had given her when they first met?
It seems that Gu Rongqi's temperament is more like his mother's.
Qianzhi looked Cheng Qicai up and down. Compared to the photos, she looked even younger, with big eyes, and she looked a little silly.
She remembered her resume; she was indeed not a very bright person.
"Auntie, how about we go sit in the coffee shop in the mall over there?" She knew that Gu Rongqi's mother was coming, and she figured that she wasn't there to just stare at her.
He probably has something to tell her. Maybe he wants to give her money so she can leave Gu Rongqi.
Her gaze involuntarily fell on her bag, which was small. Was she going to carry checks later?
Noticing Cheng Qicai's gaze becoming intense as it fell on her bag, Qianzhi pushed the bag off her shoulder back.
She saw Cheng Qicai's bag, a black cloth bag with an ugly doll on it, the style and appearance of which were not from any brand she was familiar with.
Cheng Qicai led her to a crowded coffee shop. Cheng Qicai ordered an Americano and then turned to Qianzhi, asking, "Auntie, what would you like to drink?"
The environment made Qianzhi frown, and she was even more dissatisfied when she looked at Cheng Qicai in front of her.
They can't even choose a restaurant for a meeting.
But this environment was actually deliberately chosen by Cheng Qicai. If Qianzhi wanted to scold her later, she would be mindful of the many people in the store and would feel embarrassed to speak up.
This was based on her experience since childhood. When Ms. Yun tried to hit her, she would run to where there were many people. That way, if she ran into someone she knew, they would help to persuade her to stop, and she would be hit less severely.
Qianzhi also ordered an Americano. She didn't care what she drank; she wasn't there to drink coffee anyway.
The two sat there, Cheng Qicai's knees pressed together slightly awkwardly. She looked intently at Qianzhi and asked, "Auntie, is there something you need?"
Qianzhi tapped the table twice lightly and said calmly, "We'll talk about it when the coffee arrives."
She sat calmly in her seat, deliberately remaining silent.
Cheng Qicai didn't think it was too bad. When she was with Gu Rongqi, they didn't talk much. Most of the time, she would lie in his arms or lean against him while playing on her phone.
