Chapter 54 Don’t call me cousin, I don’t know you well!
Gu Xiangsi sat in the taxi and was silent for a long time.
I replied: "I hope Mr. Fu will show some sympathy to his subordinates and give them a raise. I will work like a slave so that I can pay it back soon."
Then he sent an expression showing the boss getting rich.
Fu Sinian was in a meeting when he received the message.
Jiang Liangchen and Duan Jingwen were Fu Sinian's right-hand men.
Although Lu Liang has his own company, most of the industries that Fu Sinian invests in will involve him.
Several people sat at the conference table, and Fu Sinian tapped his fingers lightly on the surface. "The future prospects of the battery field for automotive energy are limitless. We can seize the opportunity."
He usually looks unruly and disdains what anyone says to him, but he is decisive and ruthless when doing things.
This is also the reason why several people are willing to follow his lead.
Jiang Liangchen pushed up the frame of his glasses. "I've done some research. Although there have been some breakthroughs in current technology, there's still a lot of room for improvement. We can start by investing in R&D."
"The supply chain also needs to be well controlled, from raw material procurement to production, every step must be precisely planned."
Duan Jingwen added on the side.
The phone on the table rang.
Fu Sinian gestured to Jiang Liangchen and Duan Jingwen to continue, and picked up his cell phone.
Seeing that the message was from Gu Xiangsi, he sneered and took a look.
They really treat him as a cash cow.
The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and then he put down his phone.
…
On December 20th, Gu Xiangsi received a message from Gu Dong.
The message asked her to go on a blind date and arranged a marriage for her since she was a child.
As if anticipating that Gu Xiangsi would refuse, the other party sent two messages immediately afterwards.
"Your parents arranged this marriage for you. It's a debt of gratitude, and you can't refuse. Besides, they come from a well-known scholarly family in Hong Kong, so their conditions are quite good."
Article 3: [Your grandma has said that if you don't go this time, she will introduce you to more people, and your last name is Gu.]
Gu Xiangsi sneered.
He used his parents' names to pressure her and mentioned the Hong Kong city family, simply because he thought she was not someone he could afford to offend.
Now even grandma is brought out as a threat.
Her surname is Gu, but she has no relationship with the Gu family.
But if she really doesn't go, the Gu family might start with the person she cares about the most.
As for grandma's side, they can do anything.
Gu Xiangsi clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his palms.
Go, she can go.
But want her to be at the mercy of others?
No way.
BluHouse is located in Rosewood Hong Kong.
The restaurant is decorated in an Italian street style.
At night, it presents a high-end style with dim and warm colors.
On the terrace, a man sat there in a nonchalant manner, with a casual look and looking up.
I saw a woman taking off her beige windbreaker, and her outfit was quite eye-catching.
The high-necked brick-red top sets off her fair skin, the khaki A-line skirt outlines her neat lines, and the color-blocked high heels on her feet firmly grasp her fresh and refined temperament.
He glanced at the photo on his phone, his eyes lit up and he smiled.
The real person looks better than the photo.
Gu Xiangsi walked straight over and sat down.
The moment she looked up and saw the man's face clearly, she was slightly surprised. He looked gentle and refined, and his handsomeness was imbued with the gentleness of books.
This is completely different from Fu Sinian. Fu Sinian's handsomeness carries an overwhelming aggression and aggressiveness, like a sharp blade with hidden edge.
"Are you Gu Xiangsi?"
The man spoke first, his voice light and clear.
Gu Xiangsi nodded, and the man immediately introduced himself: "My name is Jiang Xinghe."
Jiang Xinghe picked up the menu, asked Gu Xiangsi for her opinion, ordered some appetizers and main courses, and handed the menu to the waiter. He looked up at Gu Xiangsi.
Straight to the point, "I only recently heard Uncle Gu mention it and learned that we were engaged since we were young."
Gu Xiangsi has also done some research in the past two days.
The person Gu Dong asked her to go on a blind date with was the young master of the Jiang family, but the man in front of her was nothing like the playful and fickle person as rumored.
She frowned and said, "Master Jiang, if I remember correctly, I am three years older than you."
Jiang Xinghe smiled and said, "A woman three years older than you is always a treasure. Ahem, I can call you Xiangsi, or sister."
How come it is completely different from what was rumored?
Gu Xiangsi: "Let's forget about our childhood engagement. It's all just a joke. Besides, I don't plan to have a relationship right now. I came here today purely because my family is pressuring me."
"Sister, don't be so confident." Jiang Xinghe said, "Look at me. Although I'm only twenty years old, I'm tall and good-looking. Maybe I can give it a try with you?"
Seeing that Gu Xiangsi remained silent, he slapped his forehead and asked, "Did you believe those rumors?"
Seeing her eyes move slightly, he explained, "I had those spread. My mother always forced me to meet those young ladies from wealthy families. I was fed up with their delicate and pretentious attitudes, so I just made up a rumor to stop them."
Gu Xiangsi listened and couldn't help laughing.
"Look, sister looks so beautiful when she smiles. You should smile more often."
Jiang Xinghe gave her the feeling of a boy next door, so Gu Xiangsi let down her guard a lot.
"Huh? Miss Gu?"
Gu Xiangsi turned around when she heard the voice and saw Lu Wang approaching. She stood up and said, "Doctor Lu."
"I made an appointment with my cousin to have a small gathering in the private room of the bar upstairs, and I just happened to pass by." Lu Wang glanced at Jiang Xinghe who was sitting at the table, "What are you doing..."
"It's my former neighbor, Jiang Xinghe." Gu Xiangsi introduced hurriedly.
Jiang Xinghe smiled when she heard that, but didn't expose her. She stood up and greeted her, "Hello." Then she asked enthusiastically, "Would you like to sit together for a while?"
Lu Wang glanced at the time and nodded, "Okay."
Then, he sat down next to Jiang Xinghe.
Jiang Xinghe took the opportunity to call the waiter and ordered a few more main dishes.
After the waiter left, Jiang Xinghe looked straight to Lu Wang and asked, "Doctor Lu like my sister, right?"
Gu Xiangsi was drinking coffee and didn't expect him to say this suddenly. A mouthful of coffee choked in her throat. She coughed a few times before blushing and scolding, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Sister, there's nothing hidden in his eyes."
Jiang Xinghe raised an eyebrow, "It doesn't matter how many suitors we have, we just compete fairly."
Lu Wang looked at him in surprise: "You..."
"Don't look at my young age, my sister and I were engaged when we were children."
Jiang Xinghe said confidently, "Besides, my sister is so pretty, isn't it normal for someone to pursue her?"
"Really? Mr. Gu, you're quite popular with the opposite sex."
Gu Xiangsi raised her eyes and saw Fu Sinian holding a lighter by the railing of the terrace in front of her. He lit it with a "click" and the flame rose up and was then extinguished by him. He glanced at her with a smile on his face.
There was something unclear in his tone.
Lu Wang turned around upon hearing the voice and paused slightly when he saw the person clearly.
Jiang Xinghe also looked over, and after seeing who it was, he shouted, "Cousin? Why are you here?"
"Do you know my sister?"
Gu Xiangsi: “…”
Are both of them coming here?
She has a big head.
Fu Sinian didn't respond. He played with the lighter with his fingertips, then closed it with a click. He walked over slowly, glanced at Jiang Xinghe, and said lightly, "You call me sister very affectionately."
"That's right, my sister and I were engaged when we were children!" Jiang Xinghe smiled.
Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at him and Gu Xiangsi, and spoke in a flat tone.
"You two are too different to be suitable."
"No way! She's only three years old, and her sister looks so young!" Jiang Xinghe retorted unconvinced.
Fu Sinian ignored him and said coldly, "Don't call me cousin. I don't know you well."
As he said this, he turned around and his arm brushed past Gu Xiangsi's neck as if inadvertently. Then he casually pulled out the chair next to Gu Xiangsi and sat down.
His hand naturally rested on the back of Gu Xiangsi's chair, with undisguised possessiveness in his movements.
