Tang Ze paused subconsciously for two seconds, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, "I think Assistant Xia is a very good person. In addition to his excellent work ability, his personality is also very easy-going. In addition to working relationships, he can also communicate with confidence.
As for the person who is my friend, I don’t think she is similar to anyone, maybe it’s because her personality is gentle...”
Although Tang Ze has been with Gu Jingchen for many years, he doesn't know much about Su An because of their bad relationship before.
Even if they met by chance, most of them were just passing messages for Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen frowned and said nothing.
Tang Ze didn't feel anything strange. Could it be that... he was really overthinking it?
Gu Jingchen fell into deep thought again.
After a while, he waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business, go and do your work."
"yes."
Tang Ze left immediately and breathed a sigh of relief after exiting the office door.
Then he saw that it was almost lunch time, so he ordered lunch for Gu Jingchen before going to the staff canteen.
Then I randomly selected some food, turned around and saw Su An also holding a dinner plate, sitting down not far away.
Tang Ze walked over in a hurry.
"Assistant Xia."
He sat down opposite Su An.
Su An paused while holding the chopsticks. It looked like it was him. He smiled and nodded hurriedly, "Assistant Tang, why are you free to come to the cafeteria to eat today?"
Tang Ze always followed Gu Jingchen, or took lunch back to his office to eat, and it was rare to see him here.
"I just happened to see you here."
Tang Ze replied.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them chatted about a job that Su An was working on.
While chatting, Tang Ze suddenly changed his mind and said, "Hey... shouldn't I talk to you about this while eating? After all, this is a rare time to relax, and you are already very busy at work..."
"It's okay."
Su An shook his head, "Just think of it as learning. I have been slowly accumulating experience. Assistant Tang said this for my own good."
"Mr. Gu really saw you right."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ze immediately praised Su An.
Su An was startled when he heard this, and suddenly couldn't help but feel curious.
Gu Jingchen...should have told Tang Ze his opinion of her in private, right?
Thinking about it, she lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, "Assistant Tang, Mr. Gu... are you satisfied with my work during this period? Have you told me anything about me?"
As soon as these words came out, Su An saw Tang Ze laughing.
"I thought you didn't care. You've already become a regular employee before you even thought of asking this."
Tang Ze said, giving her a reassuring look, and then continued, "You don't have to worry about anything. Mr. Gu recognizes your work ability and often praises you. I even think that Mr. Gu is talking to you."
Every time, my temper gets better. I remember when I first came to Mr. Gu, I was terrified every day, for fear that I would lose my job accidentally."
"Yeah……"
Su didn't expect that Gu Jingchen would think so highly of her, so she felt a little relieved.
Then he hurriedly said modestly, "Assistant Tang is also very good. Maybe because I am a woman, Mr. Gu will be more gentlemanly when talking to me."
Tang Ze smiled slightly and was about to refute that Gu Jingchen was not someone who would treat people differently because of their gender.
But before the words left his mouth, he stopped at his lips, as if he felt something was strange.
Yes, Mr. Gu has never been a person who treats people differently based on gender.
But since this time...
He could indeed be called "amiable" to Xia Xiaomo!
And just now in the office, I asked such a strange question.
Xia Xiaomo...does she look like anyone?
Tang Ze blinked, feeling like something was flying through his mind, but before he could catch it, his cell phone rang!
"I'm going to take a call."
He stood up hurriedly, took his cell phone and walked away.
Then less than half a minute later, he rushed back with an anxious look.
"Sorry, Assistant Xia, my wife is not feeling well. I may have to ask Mr. Gu for permission to take half a day off. If there is any work that I need to handle, just contact me directly."]
With that said, he left in a hurry.
Su An looked at her back and couldn't help but feel worried for his wife, but also couldn't help feeling envious.
How nice...
This is what a loving couple should look like.
It's a pity that she will never have this kind of happiness in this life.
Su An withdrew his gaze, finished lunch alone, and returned to the office.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ze did not come back until the next day.
And she was called to Gu Jingchen's office early in the morning.
"Mr. Gu, please find me."
Su An stood in front of the desk, waiting for Gu Jingchen to issue the "task."
Then I heard——
There was a "pop" sound.
A folder was thrown in front of her.
Gu Jingchen's threatening voice also sounded in his ears.
"Xia Xiaomo, you should already know about Tang Ze. The reason why I hired an extra assistant was because his wife was pregnant. In order to reduce his burden and let him spend more time with his family, his wife was unwell yesterday.
I have granted him a few days' leave, so you will participate in the bidding on his behalf this afternoon. This is the information, please get it and familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible."
Gu Jingchen's tone left no room for doubt.
Su An did not refuse, and directly picked up the document, flipped through two pages, and agreed happily, "Mr. Gu, I will go back and get familiar with it right now."
After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and returned to the office.
She had always heard about today's bidding.
But Tang Ze had always been in charge of this matter, and she still felt a little unsure when she suddenly took over.
But... this was also a test Gu Jingchen put to her!
As long as it is successfully solved, her position here will be even more stable!
Su An opened the document and read it more carefully.
But when he saw the column of bidders, his pupils suddenly shrank!
"The Lu family?"
She murmured in disbelief, and many familiar faces quickly flashed through her mind.
This Lu family...is it the same Lu family as she thought?
Su An was not sure, so she hurriedly turned on the computer and searched quickly.
Then I looked at the search results, and my eyes became hollow little by little.
It's really...a senior's company.
Then... wouldn't it be possible for her to see Uncle Lu this afternoon?
Su An's forehead jumped suddenly, and he felt throbbing pain.
Lu Ziting, along with everyone in the Lu family, is a scar in her heart.
Just thinking about it would make her feel overwhelmed with self-blame.
What's more, it's a meeting.
But……
Now, she had to go.
For the sake of her child, she must fight even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire!
…
The morning flew by in a flash.
Soon, it was afternoon.
The bidding time is at 3pm.
At two o'clock sharp, Su An accompanied Gu Jingchen out of the company.
Although she had made adequate preparations, she felt uneasy just thinking about the Lu family being there.
Until you get off the bus.
Gu Jingchen, perhaps seeing her nervousness, suddenly stopped before entering the door.
A large group of people behind him also stopped.
Su An looked at him confused, and then heard him suddenly say in a deep voice, "Although Tang Ze has always been responsible for this matter, there are others besides you today, so don't be too nervous and do your job well."
Just work, I asked you to come here to gain experience."
Gu Jingchen spoke in a toneless tone, making it impossible to tell how happy or angry he was at the moment.
But the content seemed to be comforting Su An.
Su An thought for a moment and hurriedly bowed her head and thanked her, "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything more and continued to move forward.
Su An followed him, but her thoughts were a little subtle.
After this period of time together, she has discovered that Gu Jingchen's attitude towards his subordinates at work is actually completely different from what she imagined.
It can even be called "kind."
This can be regarded as a new understanding of him.
Fortunately, he was like this, so that she could have a relatively easy time at work.
However, she already knew enough about him in life and relationships...
And, the price has been paid.
Soon, the bidding begins.
Gu Jingchen’s team is very well prepared.
Only Su An was very nervous during the process, while the others seemed to be at ease.
The result is naturally conceivable.
The bid was successful.
After it's over, everyone can go home.
Su An was a little uneasy.
She was not surprised that Gu Jingchen could win this bid.
There is only one chance.
If he succeeds, it means that the other two parties are in the loser position.
Lu family...
Su An frowned, feeling uneasy again in her heart.
"Assistant Xia?"
A sound suddenly interrupted Su An's thoughts.
She suddenly came back to her senses and saw an accompanying staff member.
Then he heard the other party say, "Assistant Xia, Mr. Gu has gone out..."
"Oh, okay, thank you."
Su An thanked her and hurriedly turned around and walked out.
But just two steps out, he saw Gu Jingchen in front of him who seemed to be facing someone!
The two groups of people stood facing each other and all stopped.
Su An hurriedly stepped forward. Before he could get closer, he heard a familiar voice, saying with displeasure, "Gu Jingchen, don't think that winning this bid is any big deal!"
It was a woman's voice.
It sounds very crisp.
Su An's footsteps suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Lu Ziying?
How could the person from the Lu family be her?
No matter what, there was no way to connect the lively and lovely girl in his memory with such an occasion. Su An subconsciously froze in place.
But Lu Ziying had already noticed his figure and looked straight over!
Then, even though he was stunned for a moment that was visible to the naked eye, he froze in place.
The next second——
"Is it you?"
Lu Ziying recognized the person in front of her at a glance as the woman she had seen at Lu Ziting's cemetery that day, and her eyes were full of surprise.
Then he noticed the work suit on her body and the direction in which she was coming. He immediately understood something and asked directly, "Are you from Gu Jingchen? What is your relationship?"
She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but feel sadness in her heart.
This woman...
How could this woman who looked like Su An to her at first glance not work well?
It happened to be in Gu Jingchen’s company!
Since she took over the Lu family, she has dealt with Gu Jingchen many times.
But I have never seen this woman!
She must have just arrived recently!
Does Gu Jingchen also think that she...she looks like the murderer Su An?
Lu Ziying connected the two things together in an instant, her fingertips clenched tightly, and a flash of unwillingness quickly flashed in her eyes.
Su An did not dare to reveal her emotions too much. She had already adjusted her mood and was about to open her mouth to answer that she was Gu Jingchen's assistant.
The next second——
"Lu Ziying, don't forget what the occasion is here."
Gu Jingchen suddenly interrupted, with a tone that was seven points serious and three points warning.
Lu Ziying instantly became even more angry, "What's wrong here? You..."
"You shout at your bidding rivals in public in front of all your employees during work. Is this how you become the successor of the Lu family?"
Gu Jingchen interrupted her again, his tone was harsher than before, but with one sentence he stopped Lu Ziying's life.
Lu Ziying's eyes widened even more, almost showing a trace of ferocity, and her chest kept rising and falling with anger.
For a long time——
She finally said nothing more, glared hard at Gu Jingchen, then glared hard at Su An, and left without looking back.
Gu Jingchen didn't say another word.
It wasn't until Lu Ziying disappeared with his people that he turned around and left without saying a word.
Su An hurriedly followed.
There was no conversation all the way, and the two of them returned to the company.
There is still some time before getting off work, and Su An plans to handle some other work.
When he reached the door of the office, Gu Jingchen suddenly called out, "Xia Xiaomo."
Su An hurriedly stopped.
Gu Jingchen suddenly fell into silence.
After a long pause, he continued, "Today's person is the successor of the Lu family, Lu Ziying. She and I... have some private holidays. You don't have to take what she said to you today seriously. If you touch her again,
Yes, if she makes things difficult for you because of me, you can tell me directly, or tell Tang Ze, and he can handle it."
"Okay, Mr. Gu, I understand."
Su An lowered his eyes and looked calm. It seemed that this incident did not cause any trouble, nor did he ask any more questions that he should not inquire about.
Gu Jingchen nodded and said no more.
Su An returned to the office alone.
Sitting back on the chair, she couldn't help but be immersed in the surprise of the moment she saw Lu Ziying.
It’s only been less than a year…
Unexpectedly, Ziying has grown to such a point that she can carry the entire Lu family.
No wonder I felt that her whole temperament was different when I saw her last time.
Su An couldn't help but recall how innocent and cute she looked when they first met her, with her eyes shining brightly.
It seemed like a world away from the little girl who was dressed in a professional suit and had a sharp look on her face just now.
It's her fault...
Without her, nothing would be like this...
Su An sighed deeply in her heart and let her thoughts fall into the quagmire of memories, wrapped in self-blame.
On the other side——
Lu Ziying also locked herself in the office alone.
All I can think about is Su An.
Why……
Why can't that woman's figure linger in her mind?
Who is she?
Lu Ziying thought and picked up the phone directly...
