Chapter 138 Waiting for Leadership Instructions
Gu Huaichen took time out of his busy schedule to send her to the interview, so how could Lin Youning refuse?
It would have been fine if he didn't mention it. If Lin Youning refused after he mentioned it, then she would be a fool.
The interview location is inside the musical theater, which is a bit far from Yungu Park, but can be reached in 30 minutes if there is no traffic jam.
After getting in the car, Gu Huaichen glanced at the person next to him and asked in a low voice, "Are you nervous?"
Lin Youning was silent for a while, then raised a finger and said, "A little bit."
Gu Huaichen smiled, his lips slightly raised, "Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning: “Hmm?”
She met his deep gaze and her heart beat faster. "What?"
Gu Huaichen closed his eyelashes and said in a low voice, "Believe in yourself."
She is good enough.
Hearing this, Lin Youning curled her lips and said, "I believe it."
She paused. "But I want some encouragement."
Gu Huaichen: “Hmm?”
He agreed with her, "What kind of encouragement?"
The two looked at each other in silence. Lin Youning felt Gu Huaichen's gaze on her face and lips. Her ears felt slightly hot and she felt a little embarrassed. "You ask even though you already know the answer."
Gu Huaichen chuckled, stretched out his hand to touch her wrist, and then moved down to interlock their fingers, "Where did I ask a question that I already knew the answer to?"
He said seriously, "I was clearly waiting for instructions from the leader."
"ah?"
Hearing the word "leader", Lin Youning was stunned and couldn't believe it. "What did you say?"
Gu Huaichen looked at her quietly, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Mrs. Gu heard it."
"I... didn't hear it clearly." Lin Youning stared at him with wide eyes, "Really."
Gu Huaichen: “Really?”
Lin Youning nodded.
"But I—" Gu Huaichen looked at her shining eyes and said deliberately, "I forgot."
Lin Youning was stunned. "Forgot?"
I forgot what it means.
Gu Huaichen hummed and said righteously, "I forgot what I just said."
Lin Youning: “…”
She looked at Gu Huaichen in disbelief. This time she really couldn't believe what she heard.
Lin Youning was truly stunned. Why had she never realized before that Gu Huaichen was such a cunning person?
Not true.
She should be saying, why didn't she know before that Gu Huaichen could be so childish in defaulting on debts.
“…”
After being speechless for a few seconds, Lin Youning did not act according to common sense, "...Okay."
She didn't ask any further questions, but pretended to be wronged and said, "If you forget it, then forget it. I'll talk to you when I remember it."
This time, it was Gu Huaichen's turn to raise an eyebrow. He also didn't expect that Lin Youning would stop there and not ask any more questions.
The carriage fell into silence for a moment.
After a while, just when Gu Huaichen was about to say something else, a cell phone suddenly rang in the car.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was Yang Xingxue calling.
"I'm going to take a call." Gu Huaichen said to Lin Youning before answering the phone. "What's going on?"
Yang Xingxue's voice came from the other end, "Mr. Gu, Dr. Zhong is in the hospital."
Gu Huaichen looked slightly depressed, "What's going on?"
Yang Xingxue briefly explained the situation at Zhong Zhengping's place and whispered, "Mr. Zhong's housekeeper called and said that Mr. Zhong wants to see you."
Zhong Zhengping has always been optimistic about Gu Huaichen. The two are the elder and the younger, and also good friends regardless of age.
Gu Huaichen had received a lot of care from Mr. Zhong in the past, so it was only natural for him to visit him while he was in the hospital.
"Is it serious?" Gu Huaichen asked, "When was he hospitalized?"
Yang Xingxue: "Last night, the Zhong family blocked the news."
Gu Huaichen responded, thought for a moment and said, "What did the housekeeper say?"
"Just ask you to go there after get off work." Yang Xingxue said.
Gu Huaichen: "Postpone the meeting. I'll go over later."
Yang Xingxue: "Okay, then I'll go to the hospital and wait for you?"
Gu Huaichen: “Yeah.”
After hanging up the phone, before Gu Huaichen could speak, Lin Youning, who had listened to the conversation between the two, spoke up, "Why don't you come over now?"
Gu Huaichen looked at her helplessly and said, "Don't worry."
"Are you sure?" Lin Youning hesitated. "Mr. Zhong's housekeeper called your assistant, which means the matter is serious."
Gu Huaichen: “Sure.”
He looked at Lin Youning and said, "No matter how serious it is, it's not as important as sending you to an interview."
In Gu Huaichen's opinion, when comparing these two things, Lin Youning ranks first.
In fact, it's not just these two things. To Gu Huaichen, nothing is more important than Lin Youning's matter.
Gu Huaichen is a very clear-headed person. Before he fell in love with Lin Youning, he had a husband-wife duty towards her. After he was clear about his feelings, he would put her in the most important position.
Gu Huaichen knows very well what is most important.
He was grateful to Mr. Zhong, but he had already promised Lin Youning to take her to the interview, and the interview was crucial, so he couldn't just leave her there at the last minute.
That's not what he would do.
After hearing what Gu Huaichen said, Lin Youning was silent for a long time.
Just when Gu Huaichen was wondering if he had said something wrong, Lin Youning suddenly said, "He also said this to me when I was very young."
Gu Huaichen was stunned. He knew who Lin Youning was referring to as "he".
Apart from her father, Lin Mingqi, it is unlikely to be anyone else.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaichen held her hand with a little more force, "I'm here."
"I know." Lin Youning raised her lower lip slightly and forced a smile, "I haven't thought about my childhood for a long time."
When she was little, Lin Mingqi was really good to her.
She is the apple of Lin Mingqi's eye, the apple of his eye. Whatever she wants, except for the stars in the sky, which Lin Mingqi may not be able to pick down to give her, Lin Mingqi will satisfy whatever Lin Youning wants.
What she just mentioned was a literary performance when she was a child.
Lin Youning learned dancing, piano, etc. since she was young. She was very interested in literary and artistic performances. Because she was beautiful, the teacher always placed her in the middle position.
As far as I can remember, it was probably the third grade arts performance.
She mentioned this matter to Lin Mingqi and asked her parents to participate.
As luck would have it, the time coincided with a financial summit that Lin Mingqi was going to attend out of town.
After knowing this, Lin Mingqi's assistant reminded him that he had something to do that day.
Lin Mingqi said without any hesitation that it would be fine to arrange for other people to go to the financial summit. Although it was very important, it was not as important as watching Lin Youning's literary performance.
When Lin Mingqi made the call, Lin Youning was sitting next to him.
She listened to the whole thing, and when Lin Mingqi hung up the phone, Zhao Tinglan said, "Otherwise, you should go to the financial summit, and I will go to watch Ning Ning's performance."
Lin Youning didn't say anything.
Lin Mingqi glanced at Zhao Tinglan and said, "The financial summit is held every year. How rare is it for Ningning to perform?"
He picked up Lin Youning, held her in his arms, and said calmly, "I want to go to the Ningning Cultural Festival and cheer for our little princess Ningning, okay?"
Lin Youning clapped his hands happily and said, "Thank you, Dad."
Lin Mingqi smiled, picked her up and held her high, "Ningning is so good."
“…”
The things that happened in my childhood are deeply engraved in my memory. When I think of them occasionally, it seems like they happened yesterday.
Lin Youning never understood how the person who doted on her and loved her so much when she was a child, and who loved that family so much, could change in the blink of an eye.
She became a complete stranger.
Noticing her emotional fluctuations, Gu Huaichen said nothing, but reached out and pulled her into his arms, hugged her tighter, and told her that he was there and would be with her.
