Chapter 21 Is President Lin afraid to have dinner with me?
Gu Yinuo tugged at his arm from the side, muttering "Uncle, Uncle" softly.
"Um."
He finally spoke, his voice devoid of emotion, a low, guttural reply.
"Can"
After Gu Jingcheng finished speaking, he ended the video call, and the screen went dark.
The strange sensation that had been burning in Gu Jingcheng's chest gradually spread.
He tossed the phone back to Gu Yinuo, who was staring at it expectantly.
Leaning back in his chair, he picked up another document, his gaze falling on the dense text.
I didn't absorb a single word.
Fifteen minutes later, the door to Gu Jingcheng's office was pushed open.
Lin Wei walked in, wearing high heels.
I spotted Gu Yinuo curled up on the sofa playing on her tablet right away.
The little guy immediately raised his chubby little hand and waved at her: "Weiwei!"
Lin squinted and touched his fluffy hair.
Gu Jingcheng leaned back in his chair, holding a document in his hand, pretending to read it.
Lin Wei straightened her back and placed a document in front of him.
"Mr. Gu, this is a market survey I conducted based on the R&D technology."
It contains a more detailed revenue prediction model.
"I think my company's chip R&D technology..."
It will definitely bring your company profits far exceeding 200 million.
Her voice was clear and crisp, but tinged with anxiety.
"Once you agree to sign, you can start earning profits much faster."
This would also benefit your company.
Gu Jingcheng's gaze took in her anxiety.
He knew her company was short of funds, and what that 200 million yuan licensing fee meant to her.
He had already decided to sign it long ago.
But at this moment, seeing Lin Wei standing in front of him, he had to lower his stance for the sake of that money.
Gu Jingcheng changed his mind.
He somewhat enjoyed her closeness, just like three years ago when he uncontrollably wanted her.
Gu Jingcheng didn't touch the document and leaned back.
"Mr. Lin seems to be in a hurry?"
Lin Wei's breath hitched.
"Mr. Gu is joking. Timing is very important when launching a project. I just don't want the Gu family to miss the opportunity."
After all, time is money.
Gu Yinuo, who was on the sofa, got tired of playing on the tablet and looked up curiously.
She looked at her uncle, who had a serious expression, and then at Lin Wei, who was standing ramrod straight.
He tilted his little head and asked a sincere question.
"Uncle, didn't you just say you were going to sign for Weiwei?"
The air seemed to freeze, and Gu Jingcheng awkwardly touched his nose.
"Children should not interrupt when adults are speaking."
Gu Jingcheng's gaze returned to Lin Wei's face.
"I am very grateful that President Lin is so considerate of me."
Lin Wei clenched her fists; when you need someone's help, you have to lower your stance.
She knew.
"Mr. Gu, why are you delaying signing? Is it because you're not satisfied with the price?"
"Perhaps we can discuss this further."
A slight smile played on his lips as he looked at her with interest.
"How does Mr. Lin plan to discuss this?"
"Is it lowering the licensing fee? Or... something else?"
Lin Wei's heart sank. What did he mean?
What else?
But at this moment, she doesn't have time to play this tug-of-war with the chips.
"Mr. Gu, the licensing fee can be discussed further."
As for other conditions, as long as they don't violate morality, Mr. Gu can bring them up.
With downcast eyes and meek demeanor, he resembled a kitten that had been caught.
Gu Jingcheng's gaze involuntarily fell on her tightly pursed lips.
His Adam's apple bobbed almost imperceptibly.
"slight!"
Gu Yinuo got off the sofa and hugged Lin Wei's leg.
He tilted his round little face up, blinked his two dark eyes, and looked at her.
"Weiwei! Why don't you stay and have dinner with Nuonuo? The food here at your uncle's place is awful!"
Lin Wei looked down and met Gu Yinuo's expectant gaze, her heart softening.
However, she wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
She gently patted his little shoulder.
"Nono, be good. Your sister has something to do in a little while."
Gu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow, his fingers tapping the report intentionally or unintentionally.
"There are some details in this report that I need to review further."
It's almost lunchtime, let's eat and talk.
Lin Wei pinched her palm.
If the other party is an ordinary negotiating partner
Eating and talking at the same time is indeed a good idea.
But she was facing Gu Jingcheng, a mysterious and enigmatic business tycoon, and she wasn't confident.
The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for her.
"Mr. Gu, the data in the report is very detailed, and the model is very clear..."
Even the most detailed report needs time to digest.
Gu Jingcheng interrupted her, stood up, and looked at her intently.
His tone was playful, as if he were teasing a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Or perhaps..."
"Is Mr. Lin afraid to have dinner with me?"
"Mr. Gu is joking."
"good."
Gu Jingcheng's gaze fell on her face.
"There's a Xingxi Shore restaurant near the company recently, let's go there."
Lin Wei gritted her teeth; that was a well-known couples' restaurant in Jiangcheng.
Doesn't Gu Jingcheng know this?
"Yay! My mom and dad took me there too!"
Nono loves their steak the most.
"Weiwei, let's go."
Gu Yinuo affectionately held Lin Wei's hand and skipped out the door.
Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly unaware that Gu Jingcheng was unaware.
Shi Yanzhou parked his car in the parking lot of Xingxi'an Restaurant.
I got off the bus carrying a velvet gift box.
Inside is a pink diamond necklace.
My parents arranged a blind date for me today.
Shi Yanzhou was already used to it and could just deal with it.
Today we are meeting Su Wan, the heiress of the Su Group.
He had met her a few times, but they didn't have much interaction.
Shi Yanzhou entered the restaurant.
Su Wan has arrived.
"Brother Yanzhou, you're here."
"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way."
Shi Yanzhou handed her the velvet gift box.
"A small gift, nothing more."
His tone was as cold as ice.
Su Wan couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.
She had been attracted to Shi Yanzhou ever since she met him at his birthday party.
Today, I finally managed to get my parents to arrange this blind date, but Shi Yanzhou was as cold as an iceberg.
On the other side.
Lin Wei took Gu Yinuo's hand and got out of Gu Jingcheng's car.
Standing at the entrance of Xingxi Shore Restaurant.
Fortunately, it was a weekday, and it was lunchtime, so there weren't many people eating.
It seemed that apart from a couple on the second floor, there were no other guests.
"Weiwei, let's go to the second floor. We can see jellyfish there."
Lin Wei and Gu Yinuo pulled her up to the second floor.
Gu Jingcheng followed closely behind.
As we were about to reach the second floor.
Lin Wei slipped and lost her balance, almost crying out in surprise.
A strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, its hot palm gripping her back.
Lin Wei fell into Gu Jingcheng's arms, and his body fragrance suddenly enveloped her.
"careful"
Lin Wei looked at Gu Jingcheng's handsome face, her heart pounding like a drum.
"Thanks."
She adjusted her breathing, suddenly broke free from his embrace, and followed Gu Yinuo's steps.
Gu Jingcheng's arms were suddenly empty, leaving only a faint scent of mint.
The couple's intimate actions were witnessed by Shi Yanzhou on the second floor.
His knuckles turned white as he gripped the chopsticks tightly.
