Chapter 397: Why are you asking me?
Jiang Yuxu was choked by Gui Qing and remained silent for three or four minutes. Gui Qing leaned back on the sofa and waited without urging him. The two seemed to be competing silently.
The one who was defeated in the end was Jiang Yuxu.
Human habits are terrifying. Ever since Gui Qing came to Beicheng, for two years, she was the one who took the initiative to talk to him.
Now she suddenly ignored him and treated him as air, Jiang Yuxu really couldn't adapt to it.
"Did I say something wrong or do anything to offend you?" Jiang Yuxu asked in a more direct way this time.
Gui Qing shook his head, meaning no.
Jiang Yuxu: "Then why do you treat me like this?"
"What attitude?" Gui Qing asked instead of answering.
Jiang Yuxu: "Just this attitude now."
Gui Qing chuckled and looked up at him. "Lawyer Jiang, I'm just following your instructions. Didn't you say that we shouldn't have any private interactions other than work?"
She pretended to be concerned, but in fact she was mocking him: "You've been so busy with work lately that you can't even remember what you said?"
Jiang Yuxu was choked into silence for a while.
It is said that lawyers are good at talking, but he can't get any good results in front of Gui Qing.
"So, Lawyer Jiang, if you come here now to ask me some work questions, please be straightforward. The people from the branch office are still waiting for you and me downstairs to have dinner." Gui Qing brought the topic back to work in a businesslike tone.
Jiang Yuxu actually didn't have any work-related questions to ask her; that was just an excuse he made up in a hurry.
Because only in this way can this dialogue be possible.
"If what I said last time made you uncomfortable, I apologize." Jiang Yuxu said solemnly.
"Okay, I accept your apology." Gui Qing responded without hesitation, "Anything else?"
Jiang Yuxu did not respond.
Gui Qing stood up from the sofa and picked up the bag beside her. "Then let's go downstairs to eat."
"Wait." Jiang Yuxu stood in front of her, his thin lips moved, and he finally asked, "Have you and Cheng Mi reconciled?"
As soon as he finished asking the question, he heard Gui Qing let out a "puff".
The corners of her mouth curled up, but the smile did not reach her eyes. There was a hint of sarcasm in her beautiful eyes.
"What's your position to ask me this question?" Gui Qing walked around him and left without looking back, with no intention of continuing the conversation with him.
Jiang Yuxu didn't get an answer to the question in his mind. He watched Gui Qing leave, adjusted his glasses, and felt a little bloated in his temples.
——
The press conference was held on the afternoon of the next day. As an invited guest, Jiang Yuxu had no additional schedule in the morning.
However, he still got up at six o'clock as usual, dealt with work for a while, and then went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast. When Jiang Yuxu arrived at the restaurant, he happened to run into Gui Qing, who was accompanied by several NV colleagues.
When other colleagues saw Jiang Yuxu, they all said good morning to him, but Gui Qing just ignored him as if he were air.
Jiang Yuxu glanced at Gui Qing and asked his colleagues, "Are you guys going to be busy?"
"Yes, there was an internal meeting at the branch office this morning, and after the meeting we went to the site to do preparatory work," said a colleague.
Jiang Yuxu: "Do you need help?"
"No, no, Lawyer Jiang, you and Assistant Xu can just go there at three o'clock in the afternoon." The colleague waved his hand.
Jiang Yuxu just watched Gui Qing and his group enter the elevator.
He walked into the restaurant, took a breakfast from the buffet area, and sat at the table, somewhat absent-minded.
When Jiang Yuxu was distracted while eating breakfast, WeChat vibrated.
He withdrew his attention, picked up his phone, and saw Cheng Mi's new message.
Cheng Mi: [Have you talked to Xu Yeqing? How was it?]
Jiang Yuxu frowned: [You pushed my WeChat to her? ]
Cheng Mi: [Yeah, I heard she's still single and is working in Haicheng now. Maybe there's a chance for her.]
Jiang Yuxu: [Are you free?]
Cheng Mi: [Given our relationship, I'm only right to worry about your lifelong event. No need to thank me.]
Jiang Yu's preface: [Take more care of yourself.]
Cheng Mi: [My situation has been settled.]
The dust has settled.
Jiang Yuxu's gaze fell on the four words sent by Cheng Mi, and then thinking about Gui Qing's words just now, "What position do you have to ask such a question?", he roughly guessed the answer.
Jiang Yuxu: [Congratulations.]
Cheng Mi: [You're welcome. Let's get back to the point. Xu Yeqing, do you have that intention?]
Jiang Yuxu: [No.]
Cheng Mi: [Don't be so absolute. What if something unexpected happens?]
Jiang Yu Preface: [I'm busy now.]
Cheng Mi: [Let’s have dinner together tonight?]
Jiang Yuxu: [I'm on a business trip.]
Cheng Mi: [Busy man, where have you been again? ]
Jiang Yu's preface: [Haicheng.]
Cheng Mi: [Haicheng? You're here now, why don't you meet Xu Yeqing?]
Jiang Yuxu: [I don’t have time, so I won’t say more.]
He was too lazy to listen to Cheng Mi's matchmaking and put down his phone after sending the message.
——
The press conference started at three o'clock in the afternoon. The exhibition hall was about three kilometers away from the hotel. Jiang Yuxu set off with Xu Yang at two-thirty.
It was just a matter of stepping on the accelerator, and it was only 2:40 when the two of them entered the venue.
However, quite a few people have already arrived at the scene. In addition to NV’s internal employees and invited media, there are also some NV’s partners in other domestic fields.
Jiang Yuxu didn't like socializing much, and today wasn't a necessary social occasion. He simply said a few words to the people from NV, then walked towards their seats with Xu Yang.
Because Jiang Yuxu came here at the last minute, he was assigned a seat in the third row.
Jiang Yuxu didn't care much about it. After sitting down, he looked forward.
Gui Qing's seat was in the first row diagonally opposite. At that time, she was receiving partners from Haicheng. Even from such a distance, one could still see the smile on her face.
It can be seen that she had a pleasant chat with her partners.
This is not surprising, as her social skills have always been outstanding. It just depends on whether she wants to or not.
…
After the press conference, Jiang Yuxu and Gui Qing had no communication at all.
The two of them were quite far apart, and Jiang Yuxu's seat was at the back, so he could only look at Gui Qing's back from time to time throughout the whole process.
Gui Qing didn't turn around, but focused on the progress of the press conference.
She is very dedicated and serious when she works, and her attitude is quite different from her private style.
There was a banquet after the press conference, which was held in the hotel next door.
Jiang Yuxu and Xu Yang were taken to a special car by people from NV Haicheng branch and soon arrived at their destination.
Jiang Yuxu and Xu Yang walked into the banquet hall while talking, looking around, subconsciously looking for Gui Qing's shadow.
Before he could take a closer look, someone suddenly grabbed his arm.
Jiang Yuxu frowned slightly, looked away and saw a woman standing in front of him.
He is about 1.565 meters tall, wearing a professional suit, and has delicate features.
Her eyes were filled with surprise: "Senior, you actually came to Haicheng?"
Jiang Yuxu frowned slightly when he heard this name.
"I'm Xu Yeqing," the woman said with a smile. "I was thinking of meeting you for dinner when I go to Beicheng on a business trip in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come first."
Jiang Yuxu: "..."
