Gu Cheng sneered, "Humph, that Qin Liusu in your company is also a powerful figure. She plotted against you before, and yesterday she..."
She even poured wine on herself. I don’t know what she was thinking. Did she think she was cute because she was clumsy?
"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore."
"Anyway, I'm worried that you'll run into similar problems in that company, so I'm buying your company. I'm the big boss behind Xingchen, and I'll give you resources in the future."
Gu Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Su Wanti with a smile, his eyes sparkling with stars, as if asking for praise.
"Uh... Gu Cheng, we just finalized the marriage last night." Su Wanti looked at Gu Cheng, her eyes as clear and calm as autumn water.
Gu Cheng felt a little guilty, "Hmm..."
Su Wanti's voice was soft and she continued:
"Just because I studied acting doesn't mean I don't have any economic knowledge. From last night to this morning, in less than 24 hours, can the acquisition contract be signed?"
"Even if Zhao Zegang agreed to every one of Xingchen's conditions and had no objections, and there was no need to modify them, Xingchen still had internal procedures to go through. In just 24 hours, they couldn't even reach an agreement on a takeover, right?"
"Are you buying our company so that I won't be harassed, schemed against, or exploited by those with ulterior motives?"
At this moment, Su Wanti had a smile on her lips and her eyes were calm. Under the dim light, she looked quiet and beautiful.
But her words made Gu Cheng feel that the woman in front of him was a little strange. It turned out that beneath her pure and gentle appearance, there was some edge and sharpness.
Gu Cheng leaned back, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at her with a burning gaze.
Even after being exposed, he remained calm and fearless. "That's right, my original intention was not to help you."
"After that night, I sent someone to investigate you."
"I also know that the Su family came to see you."
Su Wanti smiled softly, "Do you think that the Su family and I will unite to harm you?"
"So you want to seize my agency contract and force me to change sides at the last minute."
"More than that." Gu Cheng's eyes were calm. He looked at Su Wanti as if he wanted to engrave her into his mind.
"That's just one of the reasons, and it's not the main reason. The main reason is that after that night, I couldn't forget you."
"At that time, you said to just pretend nothing happened, but I couldn't do it."
"After that night, I always think of you... I have never liked anyone else, and I think this might be love."
"So I sent someone to investigate you, to learn about your past, to investigate the company you're working for now, and to investigate the incident that had you being plotted against."
"After learning that you were an artist, I came up with the idea of acquiring your company. This way, you will be under my wing, will not face many dangers, will have more opportunities, and will develop more smoothly."
"As for me, I just want to watch you and support you silently from behind. As for other things, just let nature take its course."
He doesn't want to abuse his power for personal gain. If he does that, what's the difference between him and Mr. Zhang and his ilk?
"It wasn't until yesterday, when Uncle Su said you agreed to the marriage because of me, that I realized you and I had the same feelings."
Su Wanti frowned, "What did Uncle Su tell you yesterday?"
Gu Cheng answered truthfully, "Uncle Su said that you originally disagreed, but you agreed only after they said the marriage partner was me."
Su Wanti's brows relaxed, they were right.
Her target person is Gu Cheng, and she will only spend her time on Gu Cheng.
If it wasn't Gu Cheng, but someone else like Li Cheng, Wang Cheng, or Zhao Cheng, she wouldn't agree even if the Su family offered conditions ten times better than the current ones.
Su Wanti nodded and said silently: "Uncle Su is right. I agreed because it's you."
Gu Cheng's eyes brightened when he heard what she said.
He crossed the table, shook Su Wanti's hand, and said carefully, "I was wary of you before. Will you blame me?"
His eyes were filled with anticipation, and under the starry candlelight, they were quite touching.
Su Wanti shook her head and shook his hand back. "I can understand your mentality, and I really like the main reason you mentioned."
"From now on, you will be the big boss who supports me, and I will be the canary kept by the big boss?" Su Wanti raised her eyebrows.
"What canary? You are my fiancée." Gu Cheng stroked Su Wanti's fingers.
Her fingers were slender and white, and she didn't look like she had suffered at all.
Su Wanti pulled her hand back and said, "President Gu, don't forget, I'm an artist."
"I'm a bit famous in the skit circle, and my hit rate on the video editing platform has exceeded 10,000."
Hearing this, Gu Cheng lowered his head and smiled, then picked up the knife and fork and started cutting the steak.
"What are you laughing at? Don't look down on me. I'm nothing in Xingchen, but in our company, I'm a newcomer who's being highly praised!"
"Yes, you have good qualifications and are a newcomer with great potential, so I am acquiring your company so that you can have better development." Gu Cheng continued to cut the steak with his head down.
Seeing that Gu Cheng was not serious, Su Wanti reached out her arms across the table to hold his face.
She cupped his cheeks with both hands and made him look up at her.
At this time, Gu Cheng was forced to raise his head, and his cheeks were bulging due to Su Wanti's hands.
The corners of his eyes were raised, his mouth was pouting, and he mumbled, "You talk, I'm listening."
Su Wanti looked into his eyes and said seriously, "I'm a small artist, and you're the CEO of an entertainment company. Our relationship can't be made public."
"That's why I said, you are the big boss behind the scenes, and I am your canary."
"Also, the wedding after that..."
Speaking of this, Gu Cheng's eyes darkened.
He held Su Wanti's hand, took her hand away from his face, and was silent for a while.
Su Wanti breathed carefully, not daring to speak loudly.
She looked at Gu Cheng's expression and saw that his brows were furrowed and his eyes were dark and gloomy. She didn't know what he was thinking.
If she wanted to fulfill the original owner's wish, she could only get married in secret now.
If Gu Cheng doesn't agree and insists on making this relationship public, will she give up the side quest in this small world?
She doesn't want to give up.
Gu Cheng understood all the reasons Su Wanti gave.
He was previously the president of Star Entertainment. He understands everything about the entertainment industry, the image packaging of artists, and their personalities.
He understood that if he was with Su Wanti, it would be best to keep the relationship secret and not let outsiders know.
After all, the two have special identities, one is the behind-the-scenes boss of an entertainment company, and the other is an artist, so it is easy for them to be framed.
But he was unwilling to accept it. He finally met someone he liked, but he couldn't make it public...
Gu Cheng looked at Su Wanti's pitiful eyes like a little deer and nodded.
"I promise."
The two held hands again, holding them even tighter.
