Gu Ci felt tired. Before coming here, she had told her sister to control her emotions and not be so obvious when facing Meng Sheng.
Be patient and save face.
After all, Meng Sheng is not the kind of person who would compromise or allow himself to be bullied.
She would really fight back on the spot.
She will be the one who gets embarrassed then.
But why don’t you listen? Why don’t you take advice?
What a pig teammate!
I can't carry it at all.
Moreover, she made it very clear, "The subsequent activities of the exhibition still depend on the museum. If you make her angry now, what if she retaliates against me later?"
Gu Qinglian felt very depressed at the time, but she agreed reluctantly.
She had too high expectations of Gu Qinglan.
I thought that if I explained everything to her in detail, Gu Qinglian would understand the interests involved.
Even if she didn't understand, in order to avoid being inferior to Meng Sheng, Gu Qinglan would suppress her temper and personality and at least get through tonight.
But now...
A surge of weakness surged in her chest like a tide.
"sister!"
Before Gu Qinglian could say more unpleasant words, she called out in time, interrupting her and looking at her with a gloomy look that was filled with helplessness and grievance.
Gu Qinglian was stunned, but when she saw the emotion in Gu Ci's eyes, her rationality quickly returned.
The words that Gu Ci had said to her in the car on the way here immediately came to her mind.
For a moment, she felt very aggrieved. As daughters of the Gu family, they had always been praised by others. When did they need to consider other people's opinions?
She was very dissatisfied and felt particularly uncomfortable.
But she couldn't stand the fact that her sister, who was as elegant and gentle as a white magnolia, would be so servile to others.
In the end, I managed to control my temper and suppressed the raging fire in my heart.
He just snorted loudly, turned his head away, and didn't bother to look at her.
This was her biggest concession.
Meng Sheng also responded with a sarcastic sneer.
Seeing the two of them drawing their crossbows and swords, Gu Ci sighed helplessly and suppressed the joy that was welling up in her chest.
I apologized to her sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Director Meng, please don't mind it. My sister means no harm. She's just... in a bad mood. It's not directed at you."
Meng Sheng smiled faintly, showing his tolerance openly, "It's okay. This isn't the first time I've met Miss Gu. I'm used to it."
The implication was that this was not the first time she had experienced Gu Qinglian's rudeness and lack of manners.
Gu Qinglian naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, and she turned around to say something.
Gu Ci grabbed her arm and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
This topic was not good for the two sisters, so she didn't continue and changed the subject, "Director Meng needs to have a couple of drinks tonight."
Meng Sheng looked calm, "Then let Miss Gu pay for it tonight."
Gu Ci smiled again, without any trace of the previous embarrassment. "Director Meng, you are good in every way, but you are too polite. Compared with the art exhibition this month, I think this meal is too cheap."
"Holding an exhibition is a mutually beneficial thing, and it's what we should do. That's why Miss Gu is so polite."
"Well, we've known each other for so long, and you're still being so polite, I'm almost embarrassed to say we're friends."
Gu Ci made a joke, and the originally sharp and awkward distance between the two sides instantly became harmonious and gentle.
Hearing the commotion coming from the front, she looked up and saw groups of employees coming over. She greeted them with a sweet smile.
"Welcome everyone, please come in and take your seats."
More than ten minutes later, all the staff arrived, without a single one left out.
The private room booked by Gu Ci was on the 6th floor. Everyone went upstairs and sat down one by one under the guidance of the waiter.
There were the most people at Meng Sheng's table, and the private room was also large, with all the senior executives of the art museum sitting there.
What surprised Meng Sheng was that Gu Ci also invited several important figures from art associations tonight, including those from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
This was considered comprehensive care, as no one was offended. The company also friendly bypassed the art museum and directly established relationships with people from the Art Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Originally, the Beijing Art Association, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Gu family had a very close relationship, and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles had several members of the Gu family holding important positions.
But they didn't come today, probably because they felt that what happened in the Gu family today was too embarrassing.
Meng Sheng sat in the third seat to the right of the main seat and curled the corners of his lips casually.
After drinking the first cup, Gu Ci stood up and looked at everyone present with a sincere look.
The porcelain-white face raised a smile as bright as a sunflower, elegant and confident, and the voice was soft and pleasant.
It sounds like a wind chime blown by the wind, very pleasant.
"Everyone, due to my health, I cannot drink alcohol and can only drink tea instead. I would like to thank you all for your hard work and fatigue this month, and for your success this month.
I am very grateful to you for your overtime work, overcoming difficulties and various contributions during this period.
It is my absolute honor to meet and work with such outstanding, dedicated and cohesive people like you.
I am grateful to all of you for your trust in me, your care for me over the past month, and your understanding of my poor health.
I wish you all good health, good luck, and a bright future. Enjoy your meals and drinks, and don't be shy. If you don't have enough, just call the waiter for more.
After saying that, she raised her teacup, gestured to everyone, then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
The thoughtfulness of her words seemed to be an innate talent, a kind of upbringing deeply ingrained in her bones, which came out naturally without any deliberate effort, making people feel extremely comfortable and respected.
Politeness and good manners come from the heartfelt desire for everyone to be decent.
This is the light that the scholarly family of Gu has brought her.
Meng Sheng really felt that Gu Ci had an excellent hand of cards that were sure to win. Whether it was her family background, appearance, wisdom or means, she was actually not bad.
If I hadn't broken off the engagement with Pei Sui, we wouldn't be in this situation now.
No matter who comes, no one can break up her marriage with Pei Sui.
In that way, even if her health is not good, she is still above millions of people.
Given Pei Sui's personality, even if he didn't love her particularly, they had grown up together for so many years, so there must be some feelings between them. He was also a very responsible person.
He would never give up Gu Ci on his own initiative.
What a pity...
She messed up this good hand.
From the moment she self-righteously broke off the engagement, she made one wrong step after another.
Actually, that’s not the case. She had the opportunity to recover her losses, but she didn’t. Now it’s too late to recover them.
Not everyone will stand there and wait for you.
They have no obligation to do so.
If Gu Ci wants a person as rational and clear-headed as Pei Sui to come back, without love, then her ending will be a complete failure.
