Chapter 34 You admire him?
Qiu Cheng watched Gu Jingcheng straighten his tie in front of the mirror.
I forced myself to speak.
"Mr. Gu, you look young no matter what you wear."
He said it so confidently that even he felt guilty.
Gu Jingcheng ran his fingertips across the silk fabric, scrutinizing his reflection in the mirror.
His tone revealed no emotion: "You're only young at 24."
He turned his head and his gaze fell on Qiu Cheng, when he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, you're 32?"
"Hurry up and find a girlfriend, you're getting too old, it'll be a hassle."
Qiu Cheng's lips twitched, a forced smile that didn't reach his eyes.
This expression looked particularly out of place on his burly frame.
Respond respectfully.
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
Gu Jingcheng turned and walked towards the door, and Qiu Cheng quickly followed.
After getting on the bus,
Gu Jingcheng sent Lin Wei a WeChat voice message.
"I'll be downstairs at your company in fifteen minutes."
The vehicles merged into the traffic flow.
A strange emotion spread through Gu Jingcheng's chest.
This was something he had never experienced in his 32 years of life.
He had previous experience having dinner with women.
But these were all business social engagements.
Those women were dressed in flamboyant clothes and wore pungent perfume.
He just wanted to escape after the whole meal.
But today,
There seems to be an expectation,
There was even a hint of...
Lin Wei turned off the surveillance camera.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Compared to what she suffered in her previous life, the current predicament of this man and woman is far from enough.
The game has only just begun.
There was still half an hour until the agreed-upon dinner time.
There was no response from Gu Jingcheng's side.
Yesterday he only said he would decide the location, but didn't tell her where it was.
Lin Wei changed out of her business suit and put on a simple, pure white dress.
Pair it with a pair of nude transparent high-heeled sandals.
Lin Wei in the mirror, her sharp edges gone, appeared pure, elegant, gentle and graceful.
She relaxed her body, leaned back in the wide chair, and scrolled through WeChat.
A new message lay quietly in my WeChat, sent by Gu Jingcheng.
A 5-second voice message.
"I'll be downstairs at your company in fifteen minutes."
Lin Wei replied with a single word, "Okay."
She got up and took a blue gift box from the drawer.
Inside was the Rolex watch she had chosen for him.
A simple and elegant silver strap paired with a blue fluorescent dial.
She could even imagine Gu Jingcheng wearing it on his wrist.
Will he...like it?
Gu Jingcheng looked at the WeChat chat window.
The cold, hard character for "good".
Raise an eyebrow.
She called Shi Yanzhou "Brother Yanzhou," but addressed him as "President Gu."
These days, they don't even call him "President Gu" anymore...
The car was parked downstairs at Linwei's company, and Gu Jingcheng sat inside.
His expression was stern as he looked towards the gate.
Lin Wei walked out from the revolving door.
The gentle glow of the evening sun enveloped her, making her glow.
A pure white dress accentuated her slender waist.
As clean as a gardenia with morning dew, it exudes a pure and elegant allure.
Her skirt swayed gently with her steps, revealing her fair calves.
Every step she took felt like she was stepping on his tiptoes.
She flirts without even realizing it.
Gu Jingcheng's Adam's apple bobbed almost imperceptibly.
Lin Wei raised her head and met Gu Jingcheng's gaze in the car.
She paused for a moment, then quickly walked over, opened the car door, and sat in the back seat.
The two sat side by side, and a very faint scent of mint wafted into Gu Jingcheng's nose.
It lingered around him, as if he had returned to that night three years ago.
She put her arm around his neck and said he was more handsome than the others.
"President Gu."
She spoke softly, which was her way of greeting.
Gu Jingcheng hummed in agreement and looked away.
He deliberately avoided looking at her, but his eyes kept glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.
The car merged into the traffic.
They eventually stopped at the same couples' restaurant where they had eaten last time.
Lin Wei's brow twitched. Did he not know that this was a couples' restaurant?
"Mr. Gu, this..."
Is there a problem?
"Nothing...
Lin Wei followed Gu Jingcheng into a window booth cleverly separated by greenery.
The table was covered with a light blue tablecloth, and set with exquisite tableware and red roses.
Warm candlelight flickered in the candlestick, and elegant violin music flowed through the air.
This atmosphere is perfect for couples.
Lin Wei sat down, forcing herself to remain calm, and put on a polite smile.
Under the candlelight, it appeared especially moving.
Gu Jingcheng sat down opposite her, dressed in a suit and tie, his upright posture complementing the surroundings perfectly.
He took the wine list from the waiter and asked Lin Wei, "Any dietary restrictions?"
"No, Mr. Gu can arrange it."
Gu Jingcheng deftly ordered a meal and a bottle of fine vintage red wine.
However, faced with a table full of food.
Gu Jingcheng's attention, however, was completely drawn to Lin Wei across from him.
The candlelight cast shadows on her pale cheeks as she ate small bites, her long eyelashes occasionally drooping.
A small, fan-shaped shadow fell on his eyelids, making his heart tremble.
She occasionally glanced up at him.
Their gazes met only briefly, like a feather gently tickling his heartstrings.
It brings a subtle itch.
Gu Jingcheng picked up his wine glass and took a sip as a cover-up.
The rich aroma of red wine filled my mouth, but it couldn't suppress the unfamiliar heat in my heart.
Have you resolved your company's funding issues?
Gu Jingcheng casually started a conversation.
Lin Wei looked up at him.
She noticed that Gu Jingcheng seemed a little different tonight.
He was wearing a silk blue suit, a stark contrast to his usual preference for gray and black.
A face with defined features, paired with deep-set eyes.
Even in this atmosphere of flickering candlelight, there was a touch of tenderness.
Lin Wei shook her head; he was Gu Jingcheng.
The head of the Gu family is a ruthless and decisive figure in the business world.
Where does this gentleness come from?
She still remembered that time when she pushed him into the car.
His eyes were cold and ruthless.
I couldn't help but shiver.
"With President Gu's authorization fee backing us up, things are temporarily stable."
Lin Wei suddenly remembered the Huaijin Group.
Could a business tycoon like Gu Jingcheng also know about this company?
Since you've decided to bid on this project, it's always good to learn more about it.
"Mr. Gu, are you familiar with Huaijin Group?"
Lin Wei spoke casually, her tone probing.
"The name sounds familiar. Is Mr. Lin interested in this company?"
Lin Wei looked up at him, but instead of answering directly, she continued to probe.
"The general manager of Huaijin Group is a PhD who returned from abroad and founded such a large company at a young age."
He's pretty impressive; I think his name is Chen Jinhuai.
Gu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow, this was the first time he had heard Lin Wei praise another man.
His fingers tightened slightly around the wine glass, but his expression remained impassive.
"So? You admire him?"
Her tone carried a hint of sourness and probing that even Gu Jingcheng didn't notice.
Lin Wei glanced at him and, seeing his displeasure, immediately ended the conversation.
"No, I was just asking."
Huaijin Group put out such a large project for bidding, yet Jingcheng Group did not receive a bid invitation.
Something seems off.
But Lin Wei couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
Gu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.
Chen Jinhuai! He's back in China?
