Chapter 682 [Extra] Xiao Tian & Gao Xun 2
The person on the other end did not respond to her.
Their work movements froze, and they stood there in a daze, looking behind Xiao Tian, their faces a little embarrassed and flustered.
"Why aren't you talking?" Xiao Tian was a little confused.
The bar owner reacted quickly and called out to Xiao Tian from behind: "Assistant Gao, you're here. Would you like a drink?"
Gao Xun walked forward and glanced around casually, "Do you have central air conditioning installed here?"
"Yes, yes."
"Really? It's not very useful. I felt a little hot and smelly as soon as I came in."
After saying that, he lifted Xiao Tian up from her seat and said, "Let's go, Miss Xiao Tian. Mr. Xiao asked me to pick you up."
It wasn't until Gao Xun took Xiao Tian out of the bar that the boss realized, "Hey, something's wrong? I think our air conditioning is fine. Did Assistant Gao deliberately pick on us?"
"He heard us say he was central air conditioning and took advantage of the situation," said the bartender.
The boss rubbed the back of his neck and laughed awkwardly, "Not really—! Assistant Gao is such a mean person! He's not that stingy! Remember to ask someone to check the central air conditioning tomorrow."
Outside the bar.
Xiao Tian began to twist restlessly in Gao Xun's hands.
Gao Xun wanted to straighten her up, but his hand touched the exposed part of her slender waist. It was like an electric shock, and a tingling sensation ran through his body, making his joints stiff.
"You shouldn't wear such revealing clothes in an occasion like this."
Gao Xun's tone, like an older brother disciplining his younger sister, made Xiao Tian even more depressed: "I do whatever I want and wear whatever I want. Why do you have the right to control me?"
"It's not that I want to control you. I'm just following Mr. Xiao's orders." Gao Xun said seriously.
Xiao Tian glared at Gao Xun. He had an expressionless face and was so businesslike that he looked like a piece of wood.
She didn't know where the idea came from, but she stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Gao Xun's neck and kissed him forcefully.
The soft and slippery touch, carrying Xiao Tian's unique scent and accompanied by the alcoholic smell of peach mojito, rushed straight into Gao Xun's brain, and exploded with a "boom", blowing his mind blank.
The alcohol in the mouth dissipated, leaving only the freshness and sweetness of mint and peach.
Xiao Tian thought that he didn't resist and had finally taken off his disguise. Just as she was about to take a step further, Gao Xun pushed her away.
Xiao Tian fell to the ground, pouted her lips, and her eyes were immediately covered with tears. Seeing her like this, Gao Xun felt a little distressed. He wanted to go up and pick her up, but he remembered what Xiao Tian said in the bar just now.
He couldn't do anything more that would cause Xiao Tian to misunderstand him.
"Get in the car." He turned around, leaving only a cold back to the fallen Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian stood up and kicked Gao Xun hard in the popliteal fossa. "I will go back by myself! I don't want to go with you! I know what you mean, and I won't pester you. I will let you go. Please tell my cousin to find someone else to take care of my affairs!"
After saying that, Xiao Tian rushed to the side of the road, stopped a car and got in.
Gao Xun sighed, quickly got into the car, and followed the car Xiao Tian took.
Fortunately, Xiao Tian did not act too recklessly and finally returned home.
Gao Xun was downstairs in the residential complex where Xiao Tian lived. He watched Xiao Tian go upstairs and squatted there for two hours to make sure that Xiao Tian did not sneak out again. Only then did he feel at ease to start the car and leave.
After that, Xiao Tian became even more indifferent to Gao Xun.
Gao Xun talked to her, but she ignored him.
Whenever she was in the same space with Gao Xun, she felt more uncomfortable than Gao Xun before.
But she returned to her previous heartless self and was no longer sad, as if she had really let go of Gao Xun as she said.
After a while, Xiao Tian heard from the staff's gossip that Gao Xun was on a blind date.
Xiao Tian tried hard to calm her emotions, and then she heard them say:
"Assistant Gao's blind date didn't seem to be very successful. He wasn't very satisfied with the person he met. President Xiao was planning to introduce him to a better match, but the third princess of Jisheng Group snatched it away. Lin Qiaomo, the third princess, said she had been attracted to Assistant Gao, who worked for President Xiao, since a meeting, and that's why she rushed to go on a blind date with him. After that dinner, their relationship took off like a rocket, and it progressed by leaps and bounds!"
"Ah! Is the woman who recently came to the company building to wait for Gao Te to get off work Lin Qiaomo? I haven't met her in person yet! I didn't expect the third princess of Jisheng to have this style, a typical Korean sweet girl."
Lin Qiaomo?!
The waves that Xiao Tian had tried so hard to suppress suddenly broke down the psychological defenses that she had built up with great difficulty.
Anyone can do it, except Lin Qiaomo.
Xiao Tian is very competitive and strong-willed. When she was learning dance, she competed with Qiao Shixin, who had better grades. After taking over the group, she competed with Lin Qiaomo.
In the business circle at their level, each household has both a competitive and cooperative relationship with each other. Several younger generations have known each other since childhood, and the group maintains a close but not distant friendship.
There are very few people who are good at playing together and have true brotherhood like Gu Ziheng and the young masters of the Xu and Yu families.
Most of the time, it's just fake brotherhood and sisterhood.
People will surround whoever has greater power.
Because Xiao Tian was the daughter of a wealthy family, she was treated like a princess by other children since she was a child. Among these people who fawned over her was Lin Qiaomo.
Until the end of adolescence, Xiao Tian looked down on Lin Qiaomo.
Because Lin Qiaomo is petty, likes to cry, likes to tell tales, likes to stab her friends in the back, likes to sow discord, and says one thing to Xiao Tian's face and another behind her back.
It can be said that all the hardships Xiao Tian had never experienced in his life were suffered at the hands of Lin Qiaomo.
Later, Lin Qiaomo went abroad and Xiao Tian didn't pay much attention to her. Unexpectedly, Lin Qiaomo returned to China a while ago and transformed into a great beauty.
Not only that, she also officially entered the group's decision-making center and became Ji Sheng's appointed successor. An emerging product developed with her creativity made Ji Sheng's revenue soar by tens of billions.
Major media outlets vied to report on Lin Qiaomo's spectacular return; a financial magazine even dedicated a page to a close-up photo of Lin Qiaomo, titled "A Beautiful Entrepreneur's Road to Nirvana."
When Xiao Tian saw the report before, she was puzzled. Even if a girl changes a lot when she grows up, she doesn’t change like this.
Later I heard from friends that during the time Lin Qiaomo disappeared, she went abroad for plastic surgery. The surgery was like a head transplant, and it was adjusted and repaired 37 times. It is said that more repairs are needed.
Xiao Tian also admires her for being able to endure so much hardship for beauty.
Lin Qiaomo did not just focus on external development. During her time studying abroad, she also worked hard to cultivate her inner self and attended an internationally renowned business school.
In this regard, Xiao Tian lags behind her, and Xiao Tian admits it.
She was also convinced.
Xiao Tian is strong-willed, but it is based on the praise and recognition of others.
She knew that if people wanted to grow, they had to learn from others' strengths and make up for their own shortcomings.
So at a cocktail party, Xiao Tian toasted Lin Qiaomo and sincerely praised Lin Qiaomo's achievements.
Lin Qiaomo, however, taunted Xiao Tian, "I've had a very hard time these past few years. Unlike you, you have a capable brother who covers your back. Even if you don't know anything, you can still get into the company's decision-making center and have everyone coax you into a fight."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Tian was straightforward and immediately frowned.
Lin Qiaomo waved her hand and smiled, looking quite provocative in Xiao Tian's eyes. "Hey, why are you still as volatile as before? I don't mean anything else, I'm just expressing my envy. Don't be so sensitive. I'm giving you a piece of advice. Now that you represent Dingsheng, don't be so immature like before!"
Lin Qiaomo also succeeded in getting Xiao Tian criticized by the media: "emotionally unstable," "petty-minded," "childish," "immature," "instable"...
This was just a small matter, but it made Xiao Tian realize that no matter how gorgeous a person's transformation is, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, the core is still rotten.
After get off work, Xiao Tian did not deliberately avoid Gao Xun as usual.
Instead, she waited for Gao Xun to come downstairs, and she followed him downstairs.
Sure enough, as soon as they got out of Dingsheng Building, they saw Lin Qiaomo opening the car door and running towards Gao Xun in a coquettish voice.
