There was no one downstairs. Chen Mingxi was stunned for a moment, then turned to the study.
The study is the place where Gu Huaizhi usually stays the most.
Chen Mingxi stood outside the study door, carefully stroked the ponytail on the back of her head, pursed her lips slightly, and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, but was startled by the voice behind her.
"You're looking for me?"
Gu Huaizhi had changed into home clothes and was standing in the warm light of the corridor. The sharpness brought by his formal clothes had faded away, and his whole person exuded a soft brilliance.
Chen Mingxi looked at the man in front of her, her desire for him roaring in her heart.
How could anyone deliberately stay away from such a man? If she were Shen Ruzhen, she would definitely stay with this man until she grows old.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Gu Huaizhi lowered his eyes and smiled silently.
Chen Mingxi's heart was about to drown in this smile, and she shyly avoided Gu Huaizhi's eyes, not seeing the flash of chill in his eyes.
"Mr. Gu, I want to ask you if you want to have midnight snack?"
"No, thank you." Gu Huaizhi pushed past her and opened the study door and replied politely. But he paused when he closed the door, and then suddenly leaned close to Chen Mingxi. Seeing the blush on the cheeks of the girl in his sight, he said slowly, "I forgot to tell you last time, I hate the smell of perfume the most. Don't let it happen next time." I smell it."
Chen Mingxi's face turned pale, and just when she was about to open her mouth to explain, the man had already walked in, and the study door closed in response.
Gu Huaizhi turned on his computer and checked the contract information sent by Inborn and Autobos.
The Gu family has many industries under its name, including well-known entertainment media, medicine, medical equipment, artificial intelligence, etc. After graduating from college, he interned at Ruigu Pharmaceutical. Starting from the bottom, he experienced every position before finally taking over the entire company. In less than ten years, Ruigu Pharmaceutical became the top three in the industry.
Ruigu Medicine is where he devotes the most effort, so most of his work focuses on Ruigu Medicine.
After the pharmaceutical reform, the entire industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, which has also provided enterprises with opportunities through various channels. Based on the traditional pharmaceutical industry, Ruigu Pharmaceutical has also launched products such as equipment and prosthetics and orthotics.
However, the current independent research and development technical capabilities are not mature enough, and ready-made products can only be imported products. Therefore, he made a special trip abroad a year ago and contacted Inbone and Autobos.
At present, the early stage of cooperation negotiations are coming to an end, and the only thing left is to sign the contract. The legal department has already done a preliminary inspection and sorting of the contract, and he needs to confirm it one last time.
He scrolled the mouse and read the terms of the contract one by one. There was basically no big problem. When he saw the words "exclusive agent" in the authorization qualifications, Gu Huaizhi chuckled. He didn't know that Lu Xiao knew that he had signed the exclusive agent contract. Will there be a fight with him?
The phone vibrated twice on the table, and he glanced down at it.
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
Just as I thought about that person, the call came in.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Lu Xiao was making a lot of noise, probably drinking in that bar again, "What are you doing? I'm a busy man."
"You said I'm a busy man, what do you think I can do?"
Gu Huaizhi took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and said vaguely.
"Give you a chance to relax and have a drink?"
"I'm not free, I won't go!"
"Tch!" Lu Xiao said reluctantly, "Look what time it is now? Brother, hard work is not the only way to work hard. Enjoy life properly and come out to see the beauties!"
"I'm not as free as you!" Gu Huaizhi lit the cigarette ashes and asked him, "Are you okay? If nothing happens, I'll hang up."
"Hey, hey, don't hang up!" Lu Xiao said quickly, "I have something to do!"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"
"There is a private party at the boiling point this weekend, will you come?"
"Don't go!"
"There are people from the Song family in Haizhou, why don't you come?"
Gu Huaizhi pondered for a moment and said, "Time?"
Lu Xiao's tone became noticeably lighter, "I'll send you a WeChat message later. Hey, let me ask you something. I heard that you and the girl from the last dinner..."
Gu Huaizhi didn't want to listen to his nagging and hung up the phone.
After a while, a message came in on WeChat,
Lu Xiao: [Saturday night at 7pm, VIP on the top floor of Boiling Point. 】
Gu Huaizhi: [I know. 】
Lu Xiao: [Are you and that girl the same thing as the legend says? 】
Gu Huaizhi replied with a "You are a pig" expression and turned off the screen.
After Lu Xiao read the message, he was so angry that he even stopped drinking. He called back, but no one answered. After calling several times, he finally heard the prompt tone on the phone.
"The phone you dialed is switched off!"
Then he gave up.
Gu Huaizhi didn't want to hear Lu Xiao's gossip, so he turned off his phone and went to the terrace with red wine.
As soon as he sat down on the sofa on the terrace, he heard footsteps behind him. Gu Huaizhi turned around and saw Chen Mingxi standing not far away with a plate of something.
Seeing him looking at her, Chen Mingxi moved lightly and took a few steps forward.
"Mr. Gu, you haven't eaten yet when you come back, so I cooked you a bowl of noodles."
Gu Huaizhi looked at her carefully and slightly curled his lips when he saw her twinkling eyes.
"Bring it over!"
Hope arose in Chen Mingxi's heart again. She walked briskly to Gu Huaizhi and placed the bowl in front of him.
"It's a bit hot, please eat slowly."
It is a bowl of Yangchun noodles dotted with emerald green and fragrant with green onions. The aroma is fragrant.
Gu Huaizhi did not move his chopsticks, but tapped on the sofa opposite.
"sit."
Chen Mingxi was a little nervous and rubbed her fingers back and forth unconsciously.
"Is Sister Ying's hand feeling better?" The man's deep voice drifted over with the night wind, and also drifted into her heart.
"My mother is fine. She will be back to work after two months of rest." Chen Mingxi flipped up her hair that was messed up by the wind and looked in the direction of Gu Huaizhi.
"Mr. Gu, please eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."
"Who told you that I like to eat Yangchun noodles?...Sister Ying?"
"Yeah." Chen Mingxi responded, looked at the bowl of noodles, and added, "I asked my mother."
Gu Huaizhi smiled, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and then said slowly,
"Then your mother probably didn't tell you that I don't eat chopped green onions and coriander."
Sure enough, Chen Mingxi glanced at him erratically, and then lowered her head in panic when she received his playful look.
Gu Huaizhi leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at the night in the distance. After a long while, he said to Chen Mingxi who was still bowing his head,
"I know your purpose, but as long as you keep your peace, you can still work here in place of your mother. If... you are still so scheming, then don't blame me for not caring about your mother's love for taking care of the three generations of the Gu family."
Chen Mingxi raised her head and looked at Gu Huaizhi in panic.
"What? I'm surprised how I knew about the transactions between you and Shen Ruzhen?" Gu Huaizhi's expression turned cold and he said slowly, "I can only say that you are too obvious!"
Cold sweat breaks out on her back, and her scalp feels tight. It's not that she hasn't thought about the consequences of Gu Huaizhi knowing the truth, but she is always a little lucky in her heart.
She had seen the photo Shen Ruzhen gave her, and she looked 50% like that girl. With a little dressing up, she could look real. She initially thought that Shen Ruzhen's search for her was just a money and sex deal. She had lived enough days without money. She could not forget the scene where her mother went out to borrow money for her tuition and was treated coldly. She also saw through the relationship between her classmates. Show off each other's family background.
She is not afraid of worldly views. As long as she can live a rich life, it doesn't matter what moral constraints and worldly views she has.
Therefore, she agreed to Shen Ruzhen without thinking. I thought that once I got it done, I might be able to take a shortcut through this and change my current life.
But the first time she saw Gu Huaizhi, she had different thoughts.
Besides money, she also wanted this man.
But he was still too impatient and was seen through as if he were a joke.
Since people can't get it, she doesn't want to let go of the money.
"Mr. Gu, I know you don't like Miss Shen either. If...I mean if, I can help you get the evidence that Miss Shen is eager to get rid of this engagement, can you give me what I want?"
"How much do you want?"
"Three million, and a house in Xiacheng."
Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows, raised his head, drank the last sip of wine, stood up,
“I’ll see if it’s worth the price when you get it!”
After saying that, the person had already strode away.
Chen Mingxi looked at the sluggish back, and felt sad in her heart. She was the same person but had a different destiny. After all, she was not that girl. No matter how much she did, she would just imitate others, which would only make people laugh.
Gu Huaizhi went back to his room and took a shower. Thinking of the conversation he had just had with Chen Mingxi, he felt some strange emotions in his heart. She and Xu Nanxing look somewhat similar, but people who know them can recognize the differences between them at a glance.
Chen Mingxi looks too shrewd, and all her actions seem to be carefully planned. Xu Nanxing, on the other hand, was much more casual. She never cared about whether she was dignified and polite in front of him, and lived as passionately as the scorching sun.
The only thing they have in common is honesty.
Some images deep in his memory flashed through his mind, and the sound of Xu Nanxing rolling and crying under him that night seemed to ring in his ears again. A delicate and soft voice whispered in his ear with a cry in it. He knew her purpose well, but he was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
The excitement deep in his soul faded little by little, and he held her in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
It's half past midnight and my arms are empty. He opened his eyes to look for it, but saw her leaning over the couch looking for something. When she heard the sound of him getting up, she panicked.
He raised the thing in his hand in her frightened look and asked her: Is it worth it?
She shook her head with tears in her eyes, but said firmly, "It's worth it!"
He remembered that his eyes were scarlet and he asked again, "Is it worth it?"
She still replied to him firmly, "It's worth it!"
He grabbed her neck with his hands and watched her panting in front of him but not begging for mercy, just crying. The tears were like burning fire, falling on the back of his hand, but burning into his heart.
Pulling away from his memories, Gu Huaizhi stood quietly in front of the window, his mind was in chaos, but his heart was empty and depressed.
If I had known earlier, I should have promised Lu Xiao to go drink with him.
It's late at night, and I don't know who is in whose dream.
