The sudden recognition from Gu Rui stirred up a ripple in my heart.
I said nothing, took a sip of coffee, and waited for him to continue.
Gu Rui scratched his head and said in self-reflection, "But I like to be straightforward. I don't like superficial harmony and strife behind the scenes. So I think your personality is more suitable for me, Mr. Lan. I want to take a gamble."
I began to take an interest in this taciturn Gu Rui.
"What's the bet?"
"Let's bet on the Huake Real Estate project. As long as we can win the Huake Real Estate contract, President Lan will be able to gain a firm foothold in VC. Even President Yuan will respect you. I believe you will not treat me unfairly then."
He actually trusts my character and is not worried at all that I would go back on my word.
I chuckled and raised my coffee cup: "Then I wish you success in the bet in advance."
Gu Rui clinked glasses with me, emphasizing, "We won the bet!"
Although Gu Rui has not been working for a long time, he has rigorous logic and strong analytical skills, and the information he produced about VC is very convincing.
"Every advertising company has prepared promotional materials. Their real estate business may have a much greater advantage than ours. Even if our materials were submitted to Huake Real Estate, it might not make a splash. So what we should do now is to obtain the contact information and information of the person in charge of Huake Beijing and meet with him privately to discuss the matter. Our chances of success will be greater."
He was right. Huake Real Estate had just entered Beijing and must have received self-recommendation materials from countless advertising companies.
I'm afraid that if we send our information, it will fall into the sea and we won't get any response.
I agreed with his analysis and discussed many details with him. I worked overtime until after nine o'clock before leaving the company.
I drove back to the downstairs of Qiu Qiu's house, parked the car and walked towards the elevator.
The sudden sound of footsteps behind me made me alert.
Someone is following me?!
I didn't dare look back and quickened my pace, but the pace of people behind me also gradually quickened.
Just as I was about to enter the elevator, a cold hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me backwards.
I was caught off guard and bumped into someone's arms. I looked up in horror and saw a familiar face.
"Lu Zhiyuan?" I suddenly shouted.
At the same time, the fear in my heart suddenly dissipated.
He stared at me and didn't say anything.
Lu Zhiyuan's breathing was rapid, his eyes were red, and he reeked of alcohol.
I frowned. Did he go out for a drink? Was he out for a social event?
I almost blurted out the question, but I quickly told myself that it had nothing to do with me.
I said calmly, "Let me go."
I shook off his hand and turned to leave, but suddenly my waist felt tight.
Lu Zhiyuan hugged me tightly, his hot breath sprayed on my neck, and his choked voice was full of pleading: "Wife, I miss you so much. Can you please not leave me?"
His sudden confession still made my heart tremble.
I have never seen him like this, like a wronged child.
Is he drunk? Even drunk, he still comes to act in front of me.
I tried to break free from his grip, but he held me tightly and refused to let go.
"Wife, I won't let you go. I can't live without you..."
"Lu Zhiyuan! Let go!"
He kept pestering me and there was nothing I could do.
Our noise alarmed the patrolling security guard, who saw us and immediately stepped forward to separate us.
"Miss, are you okay?"
