When Jianshu arrived at the office, the office had already started for a while. Fortunately, the management was not that strict. It was okay to be late for work if something happened, and no one would pursue it.
After saying hello to his colleagues, Jianshu put his bag in the drawer, pulled out a chair and sat down.
When Meng Ying and Zhao Mingze came to pick her up at noon, it was a grand occasion. Basically everyone in the department store knew about it, including those in the finance department.
As soon as Jianshu sat down, Sister Liu pulled a stool over to gossip.
"Shushu, I heard that someone came to pick you up in a military vehicle at noon today?" Sister Liu asked curiously.
Because Jian Shu usually keeps a low profile, apart from Section Chief Li who has some knowledge of her family background, everyone else, including those in the Finance Department, only knows that her parents are martyrs and there is no one left at home.
So when I suddenly heard that someone came to pick up Jianshu in a military vehicle, I was very surprised. Driving a military vehicle, that must be a very high level job.
"Yes, my uncle and aunt want to talk to me about something." Jian Shu replied after taking a sip of water.
After Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying appeared, Jianshu knew that it would cause a sensation. If it were her two years ago, she would not be willing to be so conspicuous, but times have changed and ideas will always change. Sometimes being too low-key will only make people bully you.
"Uncle and aunt? Relatives?" Sister Liu was a little confused.
Jian Shu shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Zhao is my father's comrade-in-arms. He has watched me grow up since I was a child."
"Is that so? Then they must be very nice to you." said Sister Liu.
Jianshu nodded. Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying treated her no differently than their own daughter.
After getting the information she wanted to know, Sister Liu didn't ask any further questions.
She knows her limits and knows exactly what she should and shouldn't ask about.
Without the two people talking, the office became even quieter. Apart from the occasional sound of flipping newspapers, there was nothing else.
Jianshu supported his chin with his left hand, held a pen in his right hand, and stared thoughtfully at a document on the table. He looked as if he had encountered a difficult problem that he wanted to solve, but in fact, his thoughts had long since flown away.
Now his eyes are just blank and he is in a daze.
She hadn't noticed it when she was there before, but now that she has come to her senses, she realized that so many things happened in just over two hours at noon. She is still a little confused when she thinks about it now.
You know, usually she'd just have lunch and a nap at noon, but what about today? In the space of a meal, she'd developed a crush on a man she'd just met, then accepted his confession and agreed to a one-year relationship. And finally, she'd gone from being single to being in a relationship?
This happened too fast. It still doesn't seem real to her, like a dream.
However, when she thought about the time she spent with Gu Mingjing, Jian Shu felt a little sweet in her heart. She really couldn't blame her for being weak-willed. If she didn't take action against such a top-notch man in front of her, it would be a waste of talent and she would not be a woman.
What's wrong with being seduced by beauty? She just made the mistake that all women make.
Recalling the little things they had experienced together, Jianshu couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, she knew what the occasion was and had some sense, so she didn't say anything.
The other people in the office were busy with their own things and didn't notice Jianshu's silly smile.
Thinking about going on a date to see a movie in the evening, Jianshu was nervous but also excited. A date, she had never been on a date before, so she wondered what it would feel like.
Jianshu was full of anticipation, looking forward to the arrival of their first date.
Amidst Jianshu's anticipation and nervousness, it was soon time to get off work. Jianshu, who usually dawdled, packed up his things in advance and was the first to rush out of the office.
Thinking of the person waiting for her at the door of the department store, Jianshu ran towards the stairs quickly and briskly.
When she reached the stairs, she ran down them in two steps at a time until she stopped at the last step, adjusted her clothes and hair, and walked towards the door like a lady.
When he was still some distance away from the gate, Jian Shu vaguely heard discussions coming from the front.
Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, she felt that it must be related to Gu Mingjing, and listened carefully:
"Look at the man in military uniform in front. He's so handsome."
"I saw it, I saw it. It's so handsome. I've never seen anyone more handsome than him. He looks like a god."
"Bah, what did you say? What time is it now? How dare you mention gods?"
"Pah, pah, pah, it's all my fault for speaking too hastily just now. I said the wrong thing."
"Does anyone know him? I don't think I've seen him before. With his looks, I'm sure I'd never forget him if I had."
"He's wearing a military uniform, so who should he be dating? Weren't there a lot of officers at the social gathering a while ago?"
"No way? We've all seen the partners of those who date military officers, but there's no such person. We've never even heard of him."
"If you're not here to pick up your date, what are you here for? It's already after get off work, you definitely aren't here to buy anything."
"We'll find out later. Let's not leave yet and see what he's here for."
After hearing what they were talking about, Jianshu confirmed his guess.
Military uniform, good-looking, and god-like, these words put together are simply Gu Mingjing's labels. Apart from him, who else can cause such a sensation?
As expected, as soon as Jianshu walked out of the department store, he saw the focus of everyone's attention.
Gu Mingjing was seen sitting astride a 28-inch bicycle, with his left foot on the pedal and his right foot supporting the ground. This casual movement made him look like a model in a blockbuster movie. His appearance and temperament were perfect and eye-catching.
No wonder so many people gathered at the entrance of the department store, reluctant to leave.
Jianshu's focus was different from others. While others looked at the face, she focused all her attention on the long legs.
Looking at those long legs, Jianshu was extremely envious. If she were riding a 28-inch bicycle, her feet would not be able to touch the ground.
Wow, even if she lived another life, she would still be less than 1.7 meters tall.
The moment Jianshu appeared, Gu Mingjing noticed her and his eyes lit up immediately. Seeing her standing there in a daze, he quickly called out, "Shushu, here."
After saying that, he waved his hand, afraid that she didn't notice him.
With this shout, not only did Jianshu come back to his senses, but everyone's attention also shifted from him to Jianshu.
At this moment, the same place, the same protagonist, the same scene, it seems as if the scene at noon is reappearing.
Jianshu's mouth twitched. Not wanting to be treated like a monkey by them, he quickly ran towards Gu Mingjing.
"Where did you get this bike?" Jian Shu asked curiously, looking at the bike he was riding.
No one from the Gu family was in Beijing, so there couldn't possibly be a bicycle at home, right? She had originally planned to ride her bicycle there when the time came.
"This bike belongs to my childhood friend. He heard that I was going to see a movie with you tonight, so he gave it to me." Gu Mingjing replied.
