Gu Ci was not stupid, so she naturally understood the deeper meaning behind these words.
But her heart still skipped a beat.
She was not afraid that Meng Sheng would fall out with her, but it was also good that they didn't have to, and she was willing to maintain this superficial courtesy.
She smiled. "Director Meng, you're joking. I heard from Team Leader Mei earlier that you were on a business trip to Japan, and you'll be busy with the closing ceremony when you return. Actually, I should thank you for making my first exhibition go so smoothly and perfectly."
Meng Sheng smiled, "Miss Gu, you are too polite. I see that you look much better. I think your body has recovered well. Today's process is not complicated. There is a seat arranged in the backstage.
If you feel tired or can't stand anymore, you can sit down and rest for a while. If you feel any discomfort, please tell me at any time."
Gu Ci nodded, a touch of emotion on her face. "Director Lao Meng, thank you for taking care of my health. Your museum has taken such good care of me. I don't know how to thank you enough."
She seemed to think it over carefully, then tentatively asked, "How about this, if it's okay, I'll treat all the staff at your museum to dinner tomorrow night."
Tomorrow?
Meng Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and a subtle light flashed in his eyes.
The return gift she sent to Gu Ci would most likely cause quite a stir on the Internet tomorrow, including among the aristocratic families in Beijing.
It will completely subvert their three views.
Although this gift did not return directly to Gu Ci, for a prosperous family like the Gu family, all prosper and suffer together.
As long as one person is harmed, others will inevitably be greatly affected, especially their reputation will be damaged.
It's just that the degree of damage is different.
But what is certain is that Gu Ci and her two siblings are Gu Yuan’s children, and they are also the direct branch of the Gu family, so her involvement is likely to be significant.
In fact, the evidence had been prepared two days ago, which was why she asked the private detective to wait until tomorrow.
But we can't let the art museum be implicated.
Of course, the Gu family is definitely not the kind of people who would stand there and take a beating. In the film and television industry they are involved in, public relations is their forte.
So what?
The online public opinion has subsided, but the rumors among the wealthy families in Beijing are not so easy to quell.
Besides, with Liu Lingyi's personality and attitude, how could she not make a fuss?
The Gu family, although not in imminent turmoil, will certainly be turned into a mess.
She wanted to see if she could still use those tricks and schemes now that Gu Ci's house had been robbed.
In fact, she wanted to find something to hold against Gu Ci.
But unfortunately, Gu Ci is too cautious. All his tricks these days are using the tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife, and it is difficult to catch him.
Moreover, she was too weak and had to stay in the hospital most of the year, so there was really nothing to disadvantage her.
Come to think of it, Meng Sheng really didn't quite understand.
Gu Ci's body is in such a state, but she still keeps tossing and turning, not afraid of exhausting her weak body that can't even withstand the slightest bump.
If you take good care of yourself and recover from your injuries, maybe you can live to 60?
But she insisted on finding something to do. Let's not talk about coexisting peacefully, at least we can keep to ourselves, right?
Since Gu Ci doesn't want to, don't blame her for being rude.
She has never been a good-tempered or submissive person.
Since they are all enemies, it is only right to beat them to death.
Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.
Meng Sheng was secretly complaining about this in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Facing Gu Ci's invitation, she of course smiled and happily agreed.
"Miss Gu is so polite. I would feel bad if I refused your kindness. This exhibition has been so smooth and enjoyable thanks to Miss Gu's support and trust in our Yisheng Art Museum. It should be our museum that treats you to this meal."
It was just a polite remark, spoken without any cost or effort, without any pressure, and she wouldn't take it to heart.
Of course Gu Ci understood that since Meng Sheng compared her to "Wang Xifeng" at Mrs. Pei's birthday party last time, the relationship between them was like a fragile thin window paper.
The kind that breaks with a poke.
Perhaps because the two of them are still in a cooperative relationship and can barely maintain a superficial peace, such polite words are indeed necessary.
But none of this matters.
She smiled and said, "Director Meng, you're too polite. It's my honor to cooperate with Yisheng Art Museum. During the month of the exhibition, every staff member has worked hard. It's just a meal. It's my duty. Director Meng, don't refuse. Once I book the restaurant, I'll send you a WeChat message. How about that?"
Meng Sheng naturally had no objection and responded with a "OK". He didn't waste any more time with her here. He asked the staff to take her to the lounge upstairs to rest and then went to greet other people.
The closing ceremony went very smoothly. There were many guests attending today, and the art museum also took on two oral business tasks.
This is a pleasant surprise.
After all, those who can be guests at this event today are all of noble status, and there are three who are quite famous in the art circle.
It was already half past eight when the evening banquet ended.
But as the organizer, Meng Sheng still had a lot of things to deal with after the event, so she was busy until half past ten before she dragged her tired body back to the Left Bank Courtyard.
But when she was still about fifty meters away from the gate of the community parking lot, she saw a very familiar black Bentley in the night from a distance.
For some reason, her heart began to beat uncontrollably.
The hands holding the steering wheel couldn't help but tighten.
She recognized it; it was Pei Sui's car.
She glanced at the time on the screen next to her. It was already past eleven o'clock.
These days, she went out early and came back late, but she never saw the black Bentley in the parking space.
She pursed her lips and didn't slow down. She watched the black Bentley drive into the underground parking lot, and she also passed the gate and followed in.
Pei Sui noticed her car when he was outside the gate.
After the car entered the underground parking lot, he slowed down. When he backed into the parking space, he did not rush to get out of the car, but waited inside for about a minute.
When he heard the sound of a car approaching, he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. When the lights of Meng Sheng's white Porsche were reflected by the turn, he took the things in the passenger seat and pushed open the door to get out.
He also held a briefcase and a folder in one hand, and a cell phone in the other.
Meng Sheng saw his tall figure from afar.
The pain in her heart that she had always ignored came back to her. It was not strong, but just subtle and dense.
She frowned, gripped the steering wheel tightly, but did not slow down. She reversed into the parking space directly and neatly.
When she pushed open the car door and got out, Pei Sui had just walked to the front left of her car, and the two were about six or seven meters apart.
As soon as she raised her eyes, they met his deep, dark, and slightly tired eyes.
The dark pupils were like a whirlpool, and she was sucked in without a blink of an eye.
She subconsciously shifted her gaze slightly and stopped looking at him.
It's only been three days since we last met, but he seems thinner and more haggard.
I don't know if it's because I'm busy or...
Her heart couldn't help but tense up, her red lips pressed into a straight line, she closed the car door, walked up to him with her bag, and greeted him in a calm and natural voice.
"Just got back from get off work?"
