Chapter 582: Simply a Profligate Merchant
"The person you like is, cousin Chengzhou?"
Suddenly, violent coughing sounds were heard in the office.
Xu Lingwei nearly coughed up her lungs, not from choking, but from shock. Her bright, translucent eyes were wide, filled with surprise.
Gu Shi smiled, as if to say "as expected".
Xu Lingwei was stunned. "Shishi, how did you guess that?"
Gu Shi: "Use the process of elimination. In our circle, the opposite sex you have come into contact with who can be a couple are cousins Chengzhou and Chengze, Lu Luo, and Lin Yu. You have very little contact with the latter two, and they are not in Jinghai now, so eliminate them. In this case, only cousins Chengzhou and Chengze are left. Cousin Chengze has only treated you as his own sister since childhood. You don't have to doubt whether he likes you or not. So, excluding cousin Chengze, there is only one candidate left."
"I remember that when we were choosing our favorite male celebrities, you chose those with tall, strong bodies, broad shoulders, and a very mature aura. Ahem, cousin Chengzhou looks pretty much the same."
Listening to Gu Shi's well-reasoned analysis, Xu Lingwei frowned. She couldn't hide it even if she wanted to, so she could only confess honestly: "You guessed right. But you have to help me keep it a secret, otherwise, the relationship between the Shen and Fu families will become awkward."
Gu Shi smiled and nodded, "We are best friends, so of course I will keep this secret for you. Moreover, I especially guarantee that cousin Chengzhou doesn't have anyone he likes, so you can go ahead and make a move. It's a special fate for a best friend to become a cousin's wife."
Before Xu Lingwei could decide whether to develop a relationship with Fu Chengzhou, her cousin Gu Shi had already completely accepted the idea of them getting married.
"Why, you don't have confidence in conquering cousin Chengzhou?" Gu Shi asked when he saw her frowning.
Xu Lingwei thought about her interactions with Chengzhou these past few days and shook her head. "No. I think I'm still very confident. I'm just worried that my feelings will affect the relationship between our two families."
"Actually, I don't think so. Even if you and Chengzhou were in a relationship and broke up, my aunt and your mother would still have the same good relationship as before. Their relationship would not be affected by you."
Gu Shi has witnessed the sincere feelings of several people of her mother's generation since she was a child, and she is very confident about this.
Her firm attitude also gave Xu Lingwei great encouragement.
At this moment, Gu Shi suddenly stood up, walked around the desk and came to Xu Lingwei, looking into Xu Lingwei's eyes, and blurted out: "Cousin, come on!"
Xu Lingwei: "...Shishi, don't call me that!" Xu Lingwei blushed.
"I'll call you, I'll call you, cousin~cousin~dear cousin, what kind of food are you going to take me to eat tonight~cousin~"
Xu Lingwei really couldn't stand her, so she stood up and chased her to beat her.
Gu Shi, who looks like a cool and elegant rose in the eyes of outsiders, actually likes to play jokes on her friends in private.
In the end, the cold beauty was caught up by the gardener. The two stood and played and fought for a few minutes before stopping. Gu Shi sat on the sofa reading a magazine, while Xu Lingwei returned to the computer to continue working. An hour later, the sisters got off work happily and went hand in hand to look for delicious food.
They were going to a Southeast Asian restaurant. Fu Chengze had introduced it to Xu Lingwei, saying that their signature dish, the volcano spareribs, was quite delicious. Xu Lingwei was intrigued and asked Gu Shi to come along. When they arrived, they saw a long line at the entrance and fell silent. In the end, they could only obediently go over to get their food code and then join the queue.
Fortunately, the restaurant has two floors, so the line was shorter than expected. It took them about twenty minutes to get there. The volcano spareribs recommended by Fu Chengze were indeed delicious. Xu Lingwei and Gu Shi were so satisfied with the meal that they called Fu Chengze to thank him for the recommendation.
Fu Chengze smiled and said, "If you want to thank me so much, go meet the head chef over there and convince him to come work in my company. I can give him the funds to start his own restaurant brand."
Gu Shi was just a dance teacher and wasn't familiar with the ins and outs of business. She was stunned for a moment when she heard Fu Chengze's words. However, Xu Lingwei understood and said unhappily, "So you deliberately recommended this store to me? You're simply a profiteer."
"What profiteer? I'm not stingy! I'm just a normal investor, please call me an angel investor. The chef of this restaurant is actually the owner, and I can see that he has many ideas that he can't realize. Generally speaking, it's because he lacks money. I can help him realize his wishes, but I just hope that the brand he founded will belong to my group."
"If you can't even persuade others with your words, how can I possibly do that?" Xu Lingwei said unhappily.
Fu Chengze chuckled twice, "Didn't you bring Shishi here to eat? The owner of this restaurant was Shishi's classmate in high school."
Gu Shi: “…” Good fellow, he’s waiting here.
She also wanted to call him a profiteer!
