This kind of polite yet distant smile made Shi Ye feel a little uncomfortable.
Gu Nian is so refreshing and neat, and seems to be a completely different person from the one who used to be passionate about him.
"Thank you."
Shi Ye said.
Gu Nian raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, Mr. Shi wants to say this. Okay, I understand. It's a small matter, you're welcome."
Gu Nian didn't bother with Shi Yeduo's greetings. Since he said thank you, she accepted everything.
After saying that, he continued busy with the work at hand.
Seeing that Gu Nian was not sloppy in speaking or doing anything, Shi Ye paused for a moment.
After all, it's really uncomfortable to have words stuck in your throat.
In the end, he chose to spit it out.
"Well, in front of my grandma just now, why didn't you tell her our true relationship?"
"It can be seen that my grandma actually likes you very much..."
Before Shi Ye finished speaking, Gu Nian turned around and looked at him.
"so what?"
"Mrs. Bai likes me, can anything change?"
"Madam is old, why let her indulge in fruitless things anymore. She should just know that you are happy. After all, when the time comes, Miss Du will come back and continue to live happily with you... that will be enough."
"Our contractual marriage with only eight months left will always end. Rather than letting the old lady get involved for no reason at that time, it is better to let her know nothing."
Gu Nian is quite sober.
She only has one thought now, which is to fulfill the spirit of the contract with due diligence.
And then at the end of the eight months, everything returns to dust, dust to dust, road to road.
In this way, it is the most correct choice for her and Shi Ye.
"Mr. Shi, the event is over. If there is nothing else, my colleagues and I will leave first."
Gu Nian smiled happily at Shi Ye, and then moved her things into the car without looking back.
It was long before their bus drove away.
Shi Ye was still standing where he was.
He thought over and over in his mind what Gu Nian had just said.
That's right, every word and every word Gu Nian said is correct.
This was also the purpose that Shi Ye had always wanted before.
Their meeting was originally for this year's contract, and apart from that, there shouldn't be any other involvement.
Gu Nian figured it out.
but……
Shi Ye felt empty in his heart.
Back to the bakery.
Gu Nian and his colleagues were busy unloading the goods again and preparing for the opening of the store in the afternoon.
As soon as he opened the store door, he saw the store manager Shi Mo, who had disappeared before, sitting in the store, happily waiting for the store employees to return.
We also prepared a bunch of milk tea and delicious snacks to reward everyone.
"Oh, my little sisters, you have worked really hard today."
“The event was very successfully held, and everyone’s contribution is remarkable!”
"Come on, our store is closed in the afternoon, I invite everyone to sing and have fun together!"
When they heard that boss Shi Mo was so generous, all the clerks cheered.
Only Gu Nian was beside him, showing no expression and just busy continuing to pack things.
Shi Mo naturally saw Gu Nian's unmoved look.
Then he took a cup of milk tea and a box of macarons and walked towards her.
"Hey, Miss Gu Nian, why don't you seem very happy? You are the great hero today!"
Shi Mo bumped Gu Nian's shoulder.
Gu Nian glanced at Shi Mo, and the strawberry mark on his neck was still freshly visible.
Recalling the phone call he made in the morning, the girl on the phone scolded him unceremoniously.
The image of Shi Mo wandering among the flowers last night came to mind.
Gu Nian couldn't help but get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Then Gu Nian said angrily:
"Boss, you've been in high spirits since last night, and you actually know how the event went today?"
"Could it be predicted in a dream?"
When Shi Mo heard this, he knew that Gu Nian was mocking him for being so crazy last night that he didn't care about the work in the store today.
However, he didn't explain much.
He just continued to pester Gu Nian flatteringly.
As for what happened to him last night...
And why it disappeared today.
Shi Mo didn't want to say it.
"Oh, Miss Gu Nian, I know you are angry with me. Eat my macarons and you won't be angry anymore, okay?"
After saying that, he opened the macaron box and took out a pink piece, intending to feed it to Gu Nian.
But Gu Nian would not accept this kind of ambiguous behavior between men and women without taboos.
She firmly covered her mouth and just took it with her hands, never letting Shi Mo feed it to herself.
Shi Mo had no choice but to recognize the situation and stopped being shameless.
"But to be honest, you are really the hero of our store today!"
Gu Nian was very puzzled when he heard that Shi Mo had said this for the second time.
"Boss, please don't put your hat on me. The credit belongs to everyone."
Shi Mo knew that Gu Nian was modest, so he took out his mobile phone, opened the self-media APP, and played the posted video account content to Gu Nian.
The timeliness of self-media is very fast.
In less than half a day, the joint condolence event between Yunshan Nursing Home and Chandler Bakery was trending.
The most discussed scene is the interaction between Gu Nian and Mrs. Bai.
This act of condolences to the elderly is an expression of love and a positive energy for society.
As a former well-known person in the business world, Mrs. Bai is also well known to many people. It is not easy to get her personal praise.
Therefore, this time Chandler Bakery’s reputation and popularity have once again increased.
Future sales and orders are of course not a problem.
As the store manager and the investor behind the bakery, Shi Mo naturally feels a sense of accomplishment.
He proposed to satisfy each of the clerks' wishes.
Everyone suggested that we simply ask the boss to help clear the shopping cart.
Shi Mo waved his hand, indicating that such a thing was out of the question.
Then after saying it, they implemented it one after another, which made the clerks very excited.
Until everyone paid for it, only Gu Nian remained unmoved.
Shi Mo then leaned forward again, "Hey, Miss Niannian, don't you want me to help you clear your shopping cart and fulfill your wish list?"
Gu Nian shook his head, "I don't have anything to buy."
Yes, Gu Nian rarely does online shopping.
With her consumption philosophy, she is not only quite frugal, but also often only buys some daily necessities.
Rarely fall into brand effect and consumer traps.
She even felt that the prices of the products at the Chandler Bakery where she worked were too high.
Although there are many urban white-collar workers who would particularly like this expensive product to dress up their three meals a day.
But this kind of high-end consumption is not something that a working girl like her can afford on a daily basis.
Seeing that Gu Nian really didn't like "buy, buy, buy", Shi Mo simply couldn't find a "gap" where he could sneak in.
But the more this happened, the more unwilling Shi Mo was.
"That won't work. All the clerks in the store have had their wishes fulfilled, and you have to get one too, otherwise it will look like I'm isolating you."
Gu Nian felt helpless being pestered by Shi Mo, so she came up with an idea.
"Okay, then I'll tell you one thing."
"I hope, boss, you can be more dedicated in the future and don't disappear like this morning without any reason, almost ruining the event."
…
Depend on!
Is this Gu Nian's wish? !
Shi Mo was dumbfounded.
"Okay, I promise you."
"But... I will personally participate in other activities. If it's just the Yunshan Nursing Home activities, I won't go."
Shi Mo nodded and said.
When Gu Nian heard this, he was a little confused and didn't understand what Shi Mo meant.
Could it be that the activity of condolences to the elderly is not youthful enough and does not match the restlessness of Shi Mo at the age of twenty-two?
However, seeing that Shi Mo didn't explain much, Gu Nian didn't bother to ask and just kept busy with his work.
At that time, Shi Mo fell into deep thought.
The memory goes back to last night.
＊＊＊
Shifu Villa.
Uncle Zhu Muliang is here again.
I had a glass of wine with my father Shi Wei'an, sipping Lafite and eating Australian lobster.
Since it was a family gathering, her mother Zhu Murong specially called Shi Mo back to keep her company.
"Xiao Mo, you told me that day that your bakery was planning to hold a joint event with Yunshan Nursing Home, right?"
"Well done! Uncle saw you right, you are doing your job well now."
Shi Mo just smiled lightly while eating the lobster and didn't say much.
But Shi Weian opened his mouth and said:
"Brother, he has only opened the store for a few days. Don't praise him hastily. Be careful to make him inflated."
Shi Mo felt unhappy when he heard his father pouring cold water on him again.
Shi Wei'an just likes this and rarely praises himself. No matter if he wins a prize in a competition or something else, Shi Wei'an can always find fault with him anyway.
Zhu Muliang smacked his lips and was also a little dissatisfied.
His brother-in-law came from a humble background. He came from a small family and had not seen much of the world, but his ambitions were not small.
However, he still made progress and was admitted to Yunnan University on his own, where he met Zhu Muliang.
He jumped from a small place to a big city, and it was Zhu Muliang who took him to see many colorful worlds.
This made Shi Weian never want to go back to the past life where he had never seen anything and couldn't afford anything.
Shi Wei'an pretends to be extraordinary, and is just an ordinary person if he doesn't accept it.
But he suffered from the reality that his native family could not support his ambition.
In the end, Zhu Muliang pointed out a way for Shi Wei'an.
It also made him set his sights on his ex-wife, Bai Lingchen.
"Listen to me, as long as you cling to the Bai family, you will win in this life."
…
In the end, Shi Weian did win.
Luxurious cars and mansions, and the status of chairman, he is inferior to no one and superior to thousands of people.
Isn’t this always a sign of winning?
However, the repressive education that remained in his bones lingered.
Because he has low self-esteem and has never experienced being pampered by his native family, so he treats his son...
Same thing.
Of Shi Wei'an's two sons, Shi Ye is indeed far superior to Shi Mo, but the breakup between Shi Ye and Shi Wei'an is already known to everyone.
But to be honest, Shi Ye inherited some of Shi Weian's progressive advantages.
He has been excellent in both morals and academics since he was a child, and is rich in knowledge.
But even so, Shi Wei'an couldn't have any expectations for Shi Ye.
Otherwise, you are just looking for trouble for yourself.
Because once Shi Ye takes power, Shi Wei'an will only die ugly.
And what about the second child, Shi Mo?
Anyway, he is young but has no ambition.
Not only was he uneducated, but he also skipped classes every day in college. If Shi Weian hadn't paid the school board to hang him, Shi Mo would have been expelled long ago in accordance with the management regulations.
Therefore, Shi Weian had no expectations for Shi Mo at all.
In fact, I couldn't stand Shi Mo's casualness.
