The office was quiet, and Gu Liji slowly recalled his sad memories, so he couldn't help but sigh again.
It seems I'm an unlucky guy who can't even have love, destined to be a heartbroken wanderer for the rest of my life.
"Finished your work?" Gu Rongqi looked up and asked Gu Liji after hearing his long sigh.
He glanced at the documents in his hand and shook his head. "No."
Gu Rongqi said to him casually, "If you don't have any, hurry up and finish and go home."
Sigh, his brother acts like a supervisor!
After looking at the documents for a while, Gu Liji couldn't help but ask Gu Rongqi, "Brother, why doesn't Su Ni like me? I'm rich and good-looking. Is it because God sees that I have too much, so He makes me lack love...?"
"Because Lu Qi is better than you." Gu Rongqi stated this fact calmly, without even looking up at the files on his computer.
"..." Gu Liji was still unwilling to give up, "But I have a good personality, I'm gentle and considerate, and I can provide a lot of emotional value. None of my girlfriends have ever been willing to break up with me. Lu Qi is so self-centered, I don't know how Su Ni can tolerate him."
Gu Rongqi gave another reason: "He is devoted."
He was unwilling to accept it, saying, "I'm devoted to one person now too!"
Gu Rongqi looked up at him with a half-smile: "What's your relationship with her? Why does she care whether you're faithful or not? Does she know you like her?"
The three soul-searching questions made Gu Liji cough up blood.
He wanted to confess his feelings too, but if he did, his relationship with Yun Su Ni would be completely ruined.
"One after another, why are they all like this..." Gu Liji muttered in dissatisfaction, "You're still my brother, can't you say something nice about me?"
Gu Rongqi pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "Face the facts."
Cheng Qicai knocked on the door at that moment. She opened the door, tilted her head, and asked, "President Gu, has your purchasing department finished signing that document?"
"alright."
"What?"
Two voices rang out at the same time. Cheng Qicai looked at Gu Rongqi and Gu Liji on either side and saw that they were both looking at her.
The two responded at the same time, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to reply.
She momentarily forgot that this was the nickname they used to address each other at work!
Finally, she said to Gu Rongqi, "Mr. Gu, I'll ask Brother Gu to get the documents."
Gu Rong started to speak.
Watching Cheng Qicai take the documents and leave, Gu Liji suddenly realized something: "Brother, you didn't come here today because Cheng Qicai tipped you off, did you?"
Seeing Gu Rongqi remain silent, Gu Liji felt that he had guessed the answer correctly.
He shouted, "No way, Cheng Qicai really became your spy, and so did Lin Fengjie! Can't I have any freedom left?"
Gu Rongqi was silent for a moment, then said, "She cares about you."
“Sigh, actually, those words were just something I blurted out in the heat of the moment,” Gu Liji said, his eyes widening as if he had just realized something. “So that’s why she called you over?”
Gu Rong nodded, "You'd better not talk nonsense in the future."
Gu Liji was still somewhat moved.
However, he really lacks motivation right now. Ever since he heard Cheng Qicai confirm the marriage proposal, he instantly lost the will to strive and returned to his previous indifferent state.
...
In the office.
Lin Fengjie checked the time, then looked up at Cheng Qicai across from him. "Qicai, are we going to the cafeteria for lunch today?"
Cheng Qicai immediately replied, "Go!"
Lin Fengjie stood up. "Then I'll go ask President Gu and the others if they need help getting lunch."
Cheng Qicai nodded and finished the last bit of unfinished work in the office, waiting for Lin Fengjie to return.
A moment later, the door opened, and Lin Fengjie's head popped out from behind it: "Qicai, let's go eat."
"Okay." Cheng Qicai replied. She immediately stood up and walked happily towards Lin Fengjie, asking, "Brother Lin, what are you having for dinner later? I think we have sweet and sour pork ribs today."
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Gu Liji and Gu Rongqi behind Lin Fengjie. She was taken aback, as she had thought only Lin Fengjie had gone.
When the group went downstairs to the cafeteria, the staff there secretly paid their respects to the two CEOs.
Cheng Qicai standing beside him gave off a feeling of accompanying the emperor on a tour.
When it was time to get the food, Cheng Qicai, who had been longing for sweet and sour pork ribs, found that there were only a few bowls left. She craned her neck to count the people in front of her.
There are too many, so it might not be her turn, but it's not hopeless as long as four or five people ahead of her don't want it.
But after several people in a row chose sweet and sour pork ribs, her heart sank.
But in the end, she was lucky enough to get the last serving of sweet and sour pork ribs, and she was so happy she felt like she could fly.
The four of them chose their dishes and found an empty table to sit down.
Cheng Qicai was happily munching on her ribs when the screen of her phone on the table suddenly lit up.
Cheng Qicai hadn't noticed at first, but Gu Liji, who was diagonally opposite her, saw it.
He suddenly shouted, "What does Lu Qi want with you?"
Cheng Qicai was so startled that she almost dropped her ribs on her clothes. She picked up her phone and saw that it wasn't Lu Qi, but Lu Qi had been tagged in their family group chat.
It should be said that all three of them were tagged.
It has to be said that Gu Liji is so sensitive to the name Lu Qi that he spotted it at a glance among the three people. How can this not be considered a unique kind of attraction?
The group chat contained a video that Song Luo had made using photos of the three of them. Seeing Lu Qi's cooperative actions, Cheng Qicai couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
Seeing that Cheng Qicai didn't answer and was still smiling, Gu Liji pressed on again, "What does Lu Qi want with you?"
His tone was as if he were interrogating a spy.
"It's nothing." Cheng Qicai put her phone away and continued eating.
Gu Liji pressed, "Speak quickly!"
"Let's not talk about it anymore!" Cheng Qicai didn't want to discourage him any further, so she put another piece of sweet and sour pork rib into his bowl.
Before she could even pick it up properly, Gu Liji pulled the bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs back, and she followed suit, causing her ribs to fall juicily onto Gu Rongqi's plate.
The reddish-brown sauce stood out against the white plate, and Cheng Qicai was thankful that it hadn't spilled onto the plate.
She wasn't sure if Gu Rongqi would mind, but she still said, "Mr. Gu, would you like to get a fresh plate of food?"
Gu Rongqi glanced at the sauce. "No need, it's not on the plate."
"How about I wipe it for you with a tissue?" Cheng Qicai touched her pocket, which was empty.
She then looked at Gu Liji and Lin Fengjie, who both indicated that they also did not have any paper.
The three of them couldn't even scrape together a fingernail's worth of tissues.
She looked at Gu Rongqi with some embarrassment.
Gu Rongqi took out a tissue to wipe it off himself, picked up the ribs that had fallen on the table and threw them away, giving Gu Liji a warning look.
After this commotion, Gu Liji stopped asking questions, and Cheng Qicai breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Gu Liji still needs Gu Rong to treat him. In just a few hours, he has completely stopped pretending to be dead in the morning.
