Tang Ze nodded, thought for two seconds, and then lowered his voice and continued, "I heard some news. It is said that Lu Ziying went to discuss this matter in person. The Cheng family has some friendship with the Lu family. What has happened to the Lu family in the past six months?
…”
Tang Ze paused for two seconds mid-sentence.
I don't think the Lu family's situation in the past six months is bad, but it's not good either.
Because of Lu Ziting's incident, the entire Lu family was greatly affected.
The Lu family and his wife were also seriously ill.
Otherwise, Lu Ziying would not have stepped forward at this time and learned to take over the company.
But how can it be easy to manage such a large enterprise?
I don't know how many people are staring at the Lu family eagerly, waiting to see Lu Ziying's joke.
Chengjia did this because he wanted to help the Lu family.
But after all, Gu is also a partner this time, so no matter what, he must give advance notice and ask Gu Jingchen's opinion.
Gu Jingchen remained silent and did not speak.
But I already figured out what was going on.
Since Lu Ziying dared to do this, she probably already guessed that he would not refuse.
In fact, he really had no way to refuse.
If Lu Ziting was still here, the Lu family... wouldn't be like this...
As long as Lu Ziying is willing to calm down and stop looking for trouble, if Gu can help the Lu family, she will naturally lend a helping hand without hesitation.
For a long time——
Gu Jingchen finally waved his hand casually, "Tell Mr. Cheng that I have no objection to this matter. He can just arrange it."
"yes."
Tang Ze had already guessed that Gu Jingchen would probably agree. He sighed helplessly in his heart and was about to leave——
But after all, it is not easy to talk to Tang Ze about this kind of thing, and it may lead to more misunderstandings.
Gu Jingchen thought for a while and swallowed his words.
"It's okay, go and do your work."
"yes."
Tangze turned and left.
Gu Jingchen was sitting alone behind his desk, but he couldn't calm down.
It seems that the drunkenness from last night has not been completely digested.
The hot porridge I drank just now slowly cooled down in my stomach, causing an even more uncomfortable throbbing pain.
There is also the shadow of Su An that appears repeatedly in my heart...
After a long silence, Gu Jingchen simply stood up, strode out of the office, and drove directly to the community where Su An once lived.
After parking the car, he went upstairs to the familiar door and took out the key.
At first, An An never repaired the door lock here.
After she left, he found someone to replace it with a new one, kept a key for himself, and then had someone clean up the interior.
Then whenever I feel bad, I come here to stay for a day.
Gu Jingchen opened the door and walked in, sitting on the sofa.
He didn't do anything, he just leaned there quietly, looking at the familiar interior in front of him, imagining the scene where Su An once lived here, and finally felt calmer.
Then came the uncontrollable sadness and loss.
He carefully preserved everything about An An.
But……
When will she come back?
He really... misses her.
The next day——
The first meeting of the tripartite cooperation was held in Gushi.
Gu Jingchen arrived at the company early in the morning. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Su An, who had just arrived.
The two looked at each other.
"Mr. Gu."
Su An said hello as usual.
Gu Jingchen also nodded in response.
Everything seemed to be as usual, nothing happened.
But Gu Jingchen knew that something was different.
Before confirming whether Xia Xiaomo really had a tattoo on her body, he couldn't feel at ease.
What's more important is to work hard to control yourself and not to associate her too much with the person in your heart, so as not to be affected.
Gu Jingchen's thoughts were distracted for a moment, and then he immediately returned to business and asked in a deep voice, "How are the preparations for the meeting later?"
"Everything is ready."
Su An hurriedly answered, and then hesitated for two seconds before continuing, "Assistant Tang told me about Lu's joining the cooperation, so today..."
Su An had a rare expression of embarrassment.
She originally thought she wouldn't see Lu Ziying again for at least a while.
I never thought that the Lu family would suddenly join this cooperation!
Is Lu Ziying here for her?
Or... is it really just a matter of simply wanting to gain more benefits...
Su An didn't dare to make any judgments.
But Gu Jingchen seemed to see what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "Don't be too nervous. Neither Mr. Cheng nor Mr. Lu will show up today. You have the full authority to represent my opinions and just go and talk to their assistants."
Can."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Mr. Gu."
Su An heard that he seemed to be comforting herself and hurriedly thanked him.
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything more.
Soon, it was time for the meeting to start.
Su An had already arranged the meeting room, and seeing that the time was almost up, she rushed over.
As soon as he entered the door, he met Assistant Xiao who was next to Mr. Cheng and happened to be there.
"Assistant Xiao."
Su An said hello to the other party.
In previous contacts, the two have met more than once, so they are still familiar with each other.
When it was time to exchange a few polite words, both parties had already brought people to prepare at the conference table.
But there is still a small space, but it is still empty.
"Mr. Lu...doesn't he know the time of today's meeting?"
Assistant Xiao looked at his watch and frowned slightly.
Su An also looked at the time and said softly, "There are still a few minutes, just wait."
As soon as the words fell——
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the conference room!
Su An and others immediately raised their eyes and looked over subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards——
A figure walked in from the door with a person in tow.
"Mr. Lu?"
Assistant Xiao saw who it was and stood up from his chair in shock.
Su An's eyes widened immediately when he said that, his actions took precedence over his brain, he reacted and stood up hurriedly.
Why would Lu Ziying bring someone here in person?
Didn't Gu Jingchen say that only assistants from three parties were meeting today?
Many questions quickly flashed through Su An's mind, but the current situation left no time for her to think carefully.
The next second——
"Mr. Lu, why are you here in person?"
Assistant Xiao asked with a smile.
"Why, you're not welcome?"
Lu Ziying smiled back, but her words seemed to have thorns in them.
Su An was afraid that Assistant Xiao would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Mr. Lu misunderstood. Assistant Xiao didn't mean it like this. It's just that today, Mr. Gu and Mr. Cheng are not here. It's only Assistant Xiao and I. It's a bit of a slight to Mr. Lu. Why don't I go?"
Invite Mr. Gu here..."
Su An said, and planned to turn around and find Gu Jingchen.
But just as he turned around——
"Is it necessary that he be present at today's meeting?"
Lu Ziying's slightly mocking tone came, and she looked at Su An with sharp eyes, and then the corners of her lips curved in a sarcastic arc.
"I heard people outside saying that Gu Jingchen's new assistant is smart and capable. Why, he can't handle such a small meeting? Do you still need him to do it himself?"
This sentence can be said to be unceremonious, and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense.
Everyone can see that Lu Ziying is targeting Su An.
Of course Su An felt it too.
She stood there, a flash of hesitation quickly flashing in her eyes.
Then he only hesitated for a few seconds, and immediately showed a standard professional smile on his face, and replied appropriately, "Mr. Lu is right, since Mr. Gu has entrusted the work to me, then I should live up to his expectations.
Finish it well, let’s all do it, get ready, and our meeting can begin.”
Su An arranged it in an orderly manner, telling everyone not to worry with her eyes.
After a few more minutes, the meeting was finally ready to begin.
Su An cleared her throat and was about to speak.
But I didn’t expect that at this moment——
"Wait a moment."
Lu Ziying suddenly interrupted again.
Everyone immediately looked over in confusion.
Then I heard him say calmly, "I'm a little thirsty, Xiao Ai, go get me a glass of water."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
A young girl next to Lu Ziying stood up immediately after hearing this. She seemed to be Lu Ziying's assistant.
Su An had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips and waited silently for her to pour water for Lu Ziying.
The water fountain is placed in the corner of the conference room, and you need to pass by the group of people who are already seated to reach it.
Xiao Ai walked over with the cup, received a cup of warm water, and returned the same way.
Su An lowered his head and looked at the documents in front of him intently, thinking about the content of the meeting that would take place later.
Then he heard Xiao Ai's voice approaching behind him——
Su An paused for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at the wall clock opposite, feeling slightly relieved.
Fortunately, Lu Ziying just wanted to drink water...
If I deliberately say something that is not here, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of time.
It is better to have as little contact with her as possible...
Su An was thinking about it, but she didn't expect the next second -
I suddenly felt a touch of warmth on my head!
There was also a sudden flash of flowers in front of my eyes!
Even the information in my hand was soaked in instantly and became heavy!
"Assistant Xia!"
People on the side were shocked and all stood up!
Su An's mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't realize what was going on.
Then I heard——
"I'm sorry, Assistant Xia, I... I just twisted my foot! I'm really sorry! Let me wipe it for you..."
Xiao Ai Qinhuang put down the cup in confusion, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket to help Su An wipe the water from his head and face.
Su An finally came to his senses at this time, and just wanted to say that he would handle it himself.
Then I suddenly felt my cheek and nose being poked hard!
But only for a moment, Xiao Ai's hand quickly moved away, as if he had just accidentally touched it.
"Assistant Ai, I can do it myself."
Su An's cheek hurt when she wiped it, so she hurriedly waved away her hand, took out her handkerchief, and wiped it twice hastily.
But the originally smart and capable appearance turned into a bit embarrassing because of this little "accident".
Half of the clothes on my body were wet.
"Xiao Ai, why are you so careless?"
Lu Ziying's voice came.
Although it sounded like he was blaming his assistant, his tone was extremely calm.
As if this matter is no big deal.
Su An couldn't help but sigh inwardly after hearing this.
Lu Ziying...did it happen on purpose?
Because the previous confrontation was not pleasant, do you want to take revenge on her?
The lively and lovely girl in my impression should not have done such a thing. Su An couldn't help feeling a little sad and stood up.
"Sorry, I might have to take up a little time for everyone. I'll go back and clean up and change into clean clothes."
"Assistant Xia, go quickly!"
Everyone nodded.
Su An then left quickly, and when he passed by Lu Ziying, he happened to meet the other person's cold eyes.
It also verified her suspicion just now.
Lu Ziying did it on purpose.
But... so what?
Su An didn't dwell on the matter anymore and planned to go back to the office to take out the spare clothes and change into them.
But I just walked to the office door——
Not far away, the door of Gu Jingchen's office suddenly opened!
Su An subconsciously stopped.
Then he saw Gu Jingchen walking out of it.
Gu Jingchen naturally noticed Su An, paused for a moment, then raised his eyes and saw her current state, and frowned instantly!
"Didn't you go to a meeting? How did you end up like this?"
He stepped forward in two steps, with unconcealable concern in his eyes.
Then he suddenly realized something, and an unnatural look flashed across his face.
wrong……
Why does he care so much about Xia Xiaomo's condition?
Could it be that he subconsciously thinks of her as An An?
Gu Jingchen's heart was suddenly confused for a moment.
Then I heard the person in front of me reply, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Lu is here suddenly. I wanted to come back and let you know, but I was stopped by Mr. Lu..."
Gu Jingchen's eyes flickered for a moment, and he instantly understood Lu Ziying's little thoughts.
But looking at the embarrassed Su An in front of him, and thinking that what she just answered was wrong, he asked again, "I ask you how you did this?"
"I……"
Su An didn't expect him to be so persistent about this matter, and hesitated for two seconds before answering truthfully, "It was Mr. Lu's assistant who helped her pour water. When he passed by me, he accidentally twisted his foot and spilled the water.
"
"careless?"
Gu Jingchen's brows were twisted tightly in an instant.
He doesn’t believe these three words at all!
As a partner, he didn't even say hello when he came, but now he's deliberately targeting his assistant?
Lu Ziying thought this was somewhere!
Su An naturally knew that the other party did it on purpose, but he couldn't say anything.
She just chose to tell the truth because even if she lied, someone else would reach Gu Jingchen's ears.
But if we talk about it now, we will be suspected of filing a complaint.
Thinking about it, Su An heard Gu Jingchen say, "Go change into clean clothes, and I'll go to the conference room with you."
"Mr. Gu..."
Seeing his unkind expression, Su An suddenly felt nervous.
"speed."
Gu Jingchen interrupted Su An and said two words coldly again.
Su An had no choice but to say no more and turned back to the office to tidy up her appearance.
Five minutes later——
She dressed neatly again and stood in front of Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen looked her up and down and walked directly towards the elevator without saying anything.
