Chapter 474: No Turning Back
Gu Huaqiang: "Najida, Najida, look at you, you really look like a hungry ghost who has seen women in eight lifetimes. She is the boss's daughter."
Najida: "Hey, Brother Gu, what are you talking about? I just complimented her as if she were my niece. Are you jealous? Please take a seat."
Gu Huaqiang pulled Yu Jing to sit down.
Yu Jing said impatiently, "Minister Najida, I wonder what your plans are for the Sino-American City of our Wanxin Group..."
Najida immediately put her fingers to her mouth as a gesture of silence.
"The food hasn't even been served yet, the wine hasn't been drunk, and the food hasn't even been eaten. How can you discuss business now? Miss Yu, this is wrong. You have to drink a glass of wine as a punishment."
After saying that, he asked someone to pour a glass of already boiled red wine and placed it in front of Yu Jing.
"Yes, yes, Miss Yu said something wrong. I'll drink a glass of wine for her."
Gu Huaqiang picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"You're so mean! Miss Yu, one drink is enough to show her sincerity. But if you want to punish yourself for her, then you have to drink three drinks!"
When the waiter next to him heard this, he quickly poured out three more glasses of wine.
Yu Jing looked at Gu Huaqiang with a pleading look. Gu Huaqiang thought to himself: "I have to act out the whole act. If I die, I die!" He had no choice but to drink two more full glasses of red wine.
"What do you think? Are we sincere enough?"
Najda gave him a thumbs-up.
"Interesting, interesting. I didn't expect the newcomer introduced by Cao Donglun to be so interesting."
"Really? If we get to know each other longer, you'll discover more of our strengths."
"Then we have to go out to eat more often." Najida laughed.
As they were talking, all the dishes were served.
The three of them started eating.
Gu Huaqiang: "I wonder if these delicacies suit Minister Na's taste?"
Najida nodded continuously. "It's absolutely delicious! These dishes are made exactly to my liking. I bet you must have put a lot of thought into this!"
"As long as Minister Najida likes it, the little effort we put into this meal is worth it. But I'm wondering if you would be willing to help with our group's project?"
*** wiped his mouth.
"It's not that I don't want to help. I already agreed with Cao Donglun last time that as long as I'm here, your project is a sure thing. But he failed miserably and got into trouble. Our country is quite conservative and has always severely punished such things. Luckily, he warned me in advance. Otherwise, if this matter had gotten out, not only would his project have failed, but I would have been dragged down by him as well."
"We understand Minister Najib's difficulties, but is there really no room for change?"
"It's not that there's no way, it's just that the risk is quite high. As long as you can ensure that the matter doesn't get out, it'll be fine. Can you guarantee that?"
Najida looked straight at Gu Huaqiang, as if waiting for his answer.
Gu Huaqiang smiled and said, "At this stage, I'm afraid that nothing I say will dispel the doubts in your heart, Minister. Indeed, I am not the kind of person who speaks without words. Give me some time and I will definitely give you a definite guarantee."
Najida patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good. I'll wait for you, but time waits for no one. If I don't see a valid guarantee before the land auction, then I can only handle the matter impartially."
Gu Huaqiang: "I understand."
Najda checked her watch.
"Oh, it's so late, I'm in a hurry to go home."
"What's the rush? I've already arranged the second half!"
"You even said that Cao Donglun got caught up in the entertainment activities in the second half last time. Didn't I learn my lesson? Besides, I still have to help the kid with his homework! That kid won't behave until he gets a tutor."
"Haha, so Minister Najida also has a fear of being dominated by homework? Honestly, if someone sets you up, even if you stay home every day to help your children with their homework, you'll probably get caught one day."
Najida's face changed and she quickly left the hotel.
As soon as he left, Yu Jing vomited in the toilet.
After a long time, Gu Huaqiang knocked on the door outside.
"What's wrong with you? Are you dying?"
Yu Jing staggered out of the bathroom.
Gu Huaqiang poured her a cup of hot water.
"If you can't drink, why did you try to imitate others and drink so much at the dinner table just now? You're lucky you didn't die from drinking."
“What should we do next?”
"What can you do if you don't go back and rest like this?"
"I'm not drunk."
"I know you're not drunk, but you really need to rest now. I've already called the driver to pick us up."
Yu Jing reluctantly stood up and followed him outside to wait for the driver.
The breeze blowing on Yu Jing's face made her feel a little more awake.
"Do you think every businessman must first learn to drink before doing business?"
"Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Nothing much. I just used to see how easily my dad and aunt made money, so I had the illusion that doing business wasn't that difficult. But when I personally started doing business, I realized that nothing in this world is easy, except death."
"Actually, I also hate this kind of drinking culture, but I'll get used to it slowly."
"Smoking, drinking, and being taken advantage of, I think I'll never get used to it. Maybe I'm just used to living like a rich girl and I'm not cut out for business."
"The car is here, let's go!"
After getting in the car, Gu Huaqiang took off his coat and put it on Yu Jing. Yu Jing looked at him and leaned on him for a while.
After returning to the villa, the two went back to their rooms to rest.
In the middle of the night, Yu Jing woke up because she couldn't sleep. She was considering whether to send a text message to that person.
After thinking for a long time, she finally picked up her phone and sent a message.
"How about we just forget it? I'm so tired. I don't think I can do it. I want to quit."
At 3:15 in the morning, would he reply to her, unable to sleep like herself? After Yu Jing waited anxiously for a moment, her phone vibrated.
She quickly opened her phone and took a look.
"Don't even think about it. If Yu Xin knew you were involved in this, he would probably kill you even if you were his biological daughter. What's more, you're just an imposter now, and your status is not as high as Gu Huaqiang's. What do you think Yu Xin will do to you?"
Yu Jing was so scared that she dropped her phone at her feet.
The next morning, Gu Huaqiang was eating breakfast. He couldn't calm down for a long time and couldn't help asking the housekeeper: "Why don't you call the young lady to come for breakfast?"
Housekeeper: "I called her, but the young lady said she was not feeling well and would not eat breakfast. She also told me that she had something to do later and asked us not to go to her."
Gu Huaqiang: "Haha, so mysterious? If you don't want to find me, then don't. By the way, housekeeper, I have something to do later, so you don't have to prepare lunch for me."
The housekeeper said, "Okay!"
But I thought to myself: "Why do these two people seem a little weird today?"
