Chapter 491 She Never Said
Jiang Budu was speechless, his shoulders slightly stiff, and then he suddenly realized something - yes, he had never considered how the women he broke up with felt. As he said, he had always been carefree in relationships. Once it was over, it was over. There would definitely be no further contact, and it was even more impossible for him to go back to her.
The novelty wears off, and people may not even remember each other's names or appearances, let alone care about their mental state.
If Jiang Mozhou hadn't asked him this, he probably wouldn't have been able to think about these issues from this perspective in his entire life.
"So the responsibility for your situation today lies entirely with you," Jiang Mozhou pointed out sharply. "You think your intentions are just charity from a higher-up perspective. You haven't considered what she truly needs."
"She never told me what she needs." Jiang Budu's voice was hoarse, and he raised the corner of his mouth in self-mockery.
Jiang Mozhou rubbed his brows. "Well, it's too late to talk about this now. Take good care of yourself and don't disturb her life anymore. This will be the most meaningful contribution you can make to her."
Jiang Budu was silent for a long time, with his head lowered, as if he was thinking.
Jiang Mozhou and Fu Xijing did not disturb him, and the ward fell into silence.
After about five or six minutes, Jiang Budu picked up the phone on the bedside table, unplugged the charging cable, and sent a WeChat message to Bai Ruan.
——
After meeting Jiang Budu last night, Tang Qing had a headache - not because of Jiang Budu's "confession" and apology to her, but because he still hadn't agreed to Bai Ruan's endorsement activities.
Bai Ruan was the person he had brought up, and if he didn't agree, Bai Ruan would definitely not go against his wishes and accept the endorsement without permission.
Jiang Budu's words last night were very clear. He wanted her to use herself as a bargaining chip to negotiate with him and please him.
Tang Qing ruled out this option outright. Not to mention for work, even if she would die if she didn't please Jiang Budu, she would not repeat the same mistake.
I'm afraid this matter can only be solved by Gu Zhongzhou.
Tang Qing still felt somewhat guilty. Gu Zhongzhou paid her such a high salary and trusted her so much, but she ended up failing and he, her boss, had to clean up the mess for her.
Tang Qing had just arrived at the company and punched in in the morning, and went to Gu Zhongzhou's office to find him.
Gu Zhongzhou came to the company on time every day. When Tang Qing went upstairs, he specially brought a cup of coffee that he had just bought downstairs in the office building.
Tang Qing stopped at the door of Gu Zhongzhou's office, knocked twice gently, and after getting a response, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Gu Zhongzhou was sitting at his desk and hadn't started his day's work yet.
Tang Qing walked forward and placed the coffee on the table. "The coffee shop downstairs has a limited edition of this seasonal product. Try it."
Gu Zhongzhou said "thank you" and looked at her with a smile: "What's the matter with you looking for me so early in the morning?"
"I might have to trouble you to be the spokesperson for the 'Starry' series." Tang Qing didn't hide anything in front of Gu Zhongzhou. "Bai Ruan is Jiang Budu's man. If he doesn't agree, Bai Ruan won't sign a contract with us."
Gu Zhongzhou took a sip of coffee and frowned slightly: "Did he give you a hard time?"
Tang Qing shook his head. "It's not that I'm embarrassed. I don't want to be threatened by him because of the endorsement, so I can only come to you."
Gu Zhongzhou: "I understand. I'll go talk to him."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Tang Qing thanked him. "I'm sorry for the trouble. I will do my best to complete the other tasks."
"I didn't think this through." Gu Zhongzhou comforted her, "Don't thank me. I'll need your help in many ways in the future."
Listening to Gu Zhongzhou's joke, Tang Qing was amused, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will do my best."
Tang Qing had just finished saying this to Gu Zhongzhou when the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Bai Ruan's agent.
Gu Zhongzhou gestured, indicating that she could do as she pleased.
Tang Qing nodded and answered the phone in front of Gu Zhongzhou.
"Ms. Chen." Tang Qing called her politely, "Hello, I'm Tang Qing. What can I do for you?"
"Director Tang, I'm here to discuss the Bai Ruan endorsement," the agent said with a smile. "We've considered it, and your new collection really matches the style and tone of our Bai Ruan. If that's convenient, can we set up a time to sign the contract?"
Tang Qing frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
"As for the contract, I'm available anytime," Tang Qing said. "It depends on Miss Bai's schedule."
Agent: "How about noon? Can you book a place?"
Tang Qing told the address of the restaurant downstairs.
Agent: "Okay, I'll take her there then."
Tang Qing: "See you at noon."
She didn't say much and hung up the phone after the conversation, but her frown never relaxed.
Because of what happened last night, Tang Qing didn't quite believe that Bai Ruan would agree to be the spokesperson so readily.
Her intuition told her that this matter was not simple, and it was very likely another trap set for her by Jiang Budu - it was no wonder she was suspicious, after all, he was the best at this kind of thing.
Gu Zhongzhou had just heard some of the content of the conversation, but when he saw Tang Qing's expression, he knew that she had some concerns.
Before Tang Qing could speak, Gu Zhongzhou said to her, "I have nothing to do during lunch break today, so I'll go with you then."
Tang Qing: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhongzhou nodded, "I will avoid assigning you any work related to him in the future."
Zong Heng and the Jiang family have cooperated a lot. After all, the Gu and Jiang families are old friends, and their cooperation started from the previous generation. It is impossible to really cut it off. Tang Qing knew all this before coming to Zong Heng, but she still came.
There are so many companies cooperating with Jiang Corporation. She can't avoid all companies cooperating with Jiang Corporation just because she wants to avoid Jiang Budu.
…
After Tang Qing came out of Gu Zhongzhou's office, he returned to his workstation to get busy with his work.
At eleven o'clock, she printed out two copies of the checked contract, bound them and put them in a folder.
The meeting with Bai Ruan's agent was scheduled for twelve o'clock. Tang Qing and Gu Zhongzhou went downstairs ten minutes early and found a booth to sit down.
Within a few minutes, Bai Ruan's agent called.
After Tang Qing finished the call, he got up and went outside the restaurant to meet someone.
As soon as she came out, she saw Bai Ruan wearing a sports suit, sunglasses and a mask. She had to admit that her popularity was not entirely due to Jiang Budu's support. She also had good conditions. Even with such hype, she was still very eye-catching.
Tang Qing watched Bai Ruan and her agent walking towards him, and subconsciously looked around.
No suspicious persons were found.
"Ms. Bai, Ms. Chen." Tang Qing greeted the two of them, "Please come in."
She took the two of them into the restaurant and sat down. Bai Ruan and her agent were a little surprised to see Gu Zhongzhou there.
Tang Qing explained, "Mr. Gu attaches great importance to this cooperation, so he came to sign the contract with Miss Bai in person."
