Gu Huaizhi pressed it against the side of his cheek, feeling a burning pain.
Thinking of Xu Nanxing crying, I felt even more irritated. He liked her bright smile, her strong appearance, and the little dimples that were revealed for a moment at the corners of her lips. Everything seemed to hit his heart.
But when he thought that she had deceived him and then escaped without a trace, deliberately avoiding all situations related to him, he felt that she was really doing it for the money, and that those warmth and kindness were all deliberate temptations.
What annoyed him was that despite this, he still cared about her.
But she challenged his bottom line again and again, and aroused the destructive desire buried deep in his heart.
As soon as Xu Zhinian entered the hospital, he saw Xu Nanxing running out with tears in her eyes. He called out, "Miss Xu?"
Xu Nanxing ran away along the path of Furongju without even looking at him.
Xu Zhinian thought to himself, it's bad, maybe this is another disagreement and they broke up.
He entered the door in twos and twos and saw Gu Huaizhi standing in the entrance hall. His left cheek was a little red and there were a few scratches on the collar of his shirt.
"Mr. Gu?"
Gu Huaizhi tugged at his collar.
"Notify shareholders that the meeting will be changed to a video conference, and the time will remain unchanged!"
"clear!"
Xu Zhinian took out his cell phone and was about to call each one to notify them, but Gu Huaizhi ordered again, "Go see her off first, you'll have enough time!"
Xu Zhinian's mind turned around and he immediately realized who she was.
"I know, I'll go right away!"
"Wait a minute!" Gu Huaizhi picked up the high heels by the door and handed them to her, "Give her the shoes!"
Taking the shoes, Xu Zhinian walked out the door in a hurry, fearing that his boss would get angry if he was a moment too late.
After jogging to pick up the car, Xu Zhinian drove slowly along the road and saw Xu Nanxing not far away.
He drove the car slowly and pressed down the window.
"Miss Xu, let me see you off!" After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Xu Nanxing would not be willing, so he explained, "I just have to go out to do something, and I have enough time."
It's almost the beginning of autumn, and the morning is already slightly chilly. The tears on my face become cold after a moment, and people feel even colder. Xu Nanxing stood with his arms crossed for a few seconds, wiped his cheeks, opened the door and got in the car.
"Assistant Xu, take me to the boiling point! Thank you!"
Xu Zhinian didn't ask her why she went there, and responded readily, "No problem."
As the car drove by, Xu Nanxing's tears never stopped. She knew that she had done something wrong when she deceived Gu Huaizhi, but she never thought that he thought of her that way.
Being treated like this by him made her feel mixed.
Xu Zhinian glanced in the rearview mirror, pulled out a few tissues and handed them over.
"Thank you!" Xu Nanxing wiped his tears, remembering the last time he sent her home. Gu Huaizhi had such an attitude towards him, and he didn't know if he would take it out on her if he found out that Xu Zhinian gave him away.
"Assistant Xu, will he read the driving recorder in your car?"
Xu Zhinian understood what she meant almost instantly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Xu, Mr. Gu usually doesn't look at this."
"Then he didn't see the earrings from last time, right?"
Xu Zhinian hesitated for a few seconds, then said after careful consideration, "Miss Xu, I understand what you mean. In fact... Mr. Gu is not who you think he is..."
Xu Nanxing was silent. It didn't matter whether she was right or wrong. She already understood what she was like in his heart. Any further fantasies would be self-defeating.
You can see the Boiling Point sign from a distance. When I came last night, the lights were bright and the neon lights were flashing. It was as bustling and lively as a fantasy on earth. In the morning, it was dark and extremely lonely.
Xu Nanxing sighed, returning from illusion to reality, it was time to recognize it.
"Assistant Xu, park your car right here. I'll walk over."
Xu Zhinian did not stop the car, but parked the car directly at the door, then turned around and said to her, "The temperature is relatively low in the morning, so I will send you here to avoid catching a cold. And..."
"Thank you!" Xu Nanxing opened the door and got out of the car without waiting for his reply.
After getting off the warm car, the soles of my feet felt cold when they touched the ground.
Xu Zhinian had already walked over from the cab and handed over the things in his hands, "Miss Xu, you are too anxious. I was just about to say give you the shoes."
Xu Nanxing's eyes fell on the pair of high heels she wore last night.
When I thought about Xu Zhinian's hesitation in the car just now, I figured out why Xu Zhinian suddenly appeared on that road.
She held her lips together, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She silently took the shoes and put them on her feet, then turned and entered the gate of Boiling Point.
When Xu Zhinian returned to the car, he first called various shareholders to inform them of the meeting, and then called Gu Huaizhi.
They picked up the call quickly.
"Zhinian."
"Mr. Gu, it has been delivered. All shareholders have been notified."
"I know." Gu Huaizhi rubbed his swollen face and asked, "How...is she feeling?"
Xu Zhinian did not dare to lie and said tactfully,
"Ms. Xu cried for a while at first, but then she stopped crying probably because I was there."
"Okay, come back!"
Xu Zhinian responded and turned the car back.
-
Xu Nanxing entered the gate of Boiling Point and was greeted by security guards, "Hello, guest, it's off-duty time now and we only open at four in the afternoon."
"I'm the artist who performed here last night. I'm here to pick up my clothes and mobile phone."
The security guard said, "But it's off duty now. Do you know where the clothes are?"
Xu Nanxing recalled it and said to him, "The clothes should be at the waiter girl in the VIP room on the top floor. I was in a hurry last night and forgot to take them."
"Are you talking about Xiaoni?" The security guard raised his hand and made a gesture on his face, "Does he have a round face, single eyelids, and not too tall?"
"Yes, it's her." Xu Nanxing asked, "Is she there?"
"Wait a moment, let me take a look."
The security guard returned to the guard room, checked on the computer and said, "She probably hasn't gotten off work yet. Let me contact her for you." After that, he made a phone call and went out.
I don't know what was said over there. After putting down the phone, the security guard told Xu Nanxing that he could go up.
After taking the elevator to the top floor, Xu Nanxing turned to the pantry. Xiaoni was standing at the door waiting for her. When he saw her coming, he quickly handed over the bag in his hand, "Miss, your clothes."
"I want to change my clothes, can I borrow this place?" Xu Nanxing pointed to the kitchen preparation room.
"No problem." After saying that, Xiaoni flashed out.
Xu Nanxing changed clothes and came out, while Xiaoni was still waiting by the door.
She asked Xiaoni, "Xiaoni, did you clean up the VIP room last night?"
Xiao Ni shook her head, "No, I am only responsible for the meals, and there is a cleaning lady who does the cleaning."
"Then can you help me ask if you have seen my mobile phone?"
When she was drinking last night, she put her mobile phone on the coffee table, and then she was suddenly dragged away by Gu Huaizhi, leaving no time to get her mobile phone.
"Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs to help you ask."
Xu Nanxing nodded and watched Xiaoni go downstairs.
Not long after, Xiaoni came back, panting, "Miss, I asked you, the boss took away the phone."
"boss?"
Xiaoni nodded, "Yes, that's our boss, Mr. Cheng!"
Xu Nanxing said in her heart that she couldn't hide even if she wanted to. She didn't want to have anything to do with the people around Gu Huaizhi, but it was always inevitable that she couldn't escape.
"Xiao Ni, when is your boss usually here?"
"That's impossible to say."
"Then who has his phone number?"
Xiaoni shook her head, "Except for the manager, it's difficult for us to meet the boss. Where can I find his phone number?"
Xu Nanxing knew that Xiaoni had not lied to her, so he looked at the time and said to Xiaoni,
"Xiao Ni, can you lend me your mobile phone? I want to call my family."
Xiao Ni handed over the phone, Xu Nanxing thanked her, walked aside and called her sister Xu Silan.
She had lived outside after a performance before, so Xu Silan didn't say anything, just told her to go home early and rest before hanging up the phone.
"Xiao Ni, can you contact your manager for me? I would like to make an appointment with your boss to pick up the phone."
"This..." Xiaoni hesitated.
Xu Nanxing held her hand, "I'm sorry, Xiaoni, I know I've troubled you a lot, but a lot of my information is on my phone, and I can't do a lot of things without getting it back."
"All right."
Xiaoni called up the manager's phone number and explained the reason, and the manager asked her to give the phone number to Xu Nanxing.
"Hello."
There was a young girl's voice on the other end of the phone, "Miss Xu, right? Mr. Cheng told you before leaving last night that you should wait for him in the store at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay, thank you." The other person said you were welcome and hung up the phone.
Xu Nanxing handed the phone to Xiaoni, "Xiaoni, thank you very much for helping me so much."
"It's okay, little sister. Are you okay? If it's okay, I'll go home from get off work."
"No, thank you."
Xu Nanxing thanked her sincerely. It was rare for him to be able to help her even though he was a stranger. In this world, most people were just trying to clean up their own troubles. How could anyone be willing to meddle in others' affairs.
After coming out of the boiling point, she wanted to take a taxi home, but she remembered that she had left her backpack last night and didn't get her mobile phone. How could she have the money to take a taxi back?
He touched the pocket of his coat and found a few coins, which were the leftover change from taking a taxi to Haichen Hotel the night of the Boya dinner.
She looked at the road signs. There should be a bus going home nearby, so she looked for it along the main road.
After walking not far, she saw the bus stop in the distance. She felt happy and her steps picked up speed.
The sound of a bus whistle came, and a large group of people waiting for the bus swarmed behind them. Xu Nanxing tried to hide but failed. She was pushed to the ground by the crowd. Severe pain hit her ankle. She threw herself Fall to the ground.
Some people stopped to take a look at her, but most of them were people rushing to catch the bus and didn't even look at her. Some people even stepped over her legs.
She wanted to stand up, but her ankles felt like tearing pain. During her struggle, someone helped her up.
"Miss, are you okay?"
It's Xiaoni.
