Sun Lin was the first to speak. "Chuchu, you're here too. Why did you change your clothes?"
Everyone's gaze fell on Gu Chu. She was wearing a wine-red evening gown earlier, and she looked stunning. Why did she change her clothes and remove her makeup in the blink of an eye?
Gu Chu lowered her head in embarrassment. Coincidentally, a part of her neck was exposed. It was bruised. Anyone with a discerning eye knew what had happened at a glance.
They looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said in silence.
Sun Lin glared at them. The party had not ended yet. How inappropriate.
At this moment, an eccentric noblewoman turned to look at Gu Wan. "She's here on a date. What is Ms. Gu Wan doing here?"
Gu Wan did not expect her to turn the tables so quickly. She blinked and did not know what to say. "I, I..."
Gu Chu interrupted, "She just happened to pass by here. By the way, didn't you say you were going back to your room? You've been back for so long, why did you still take the wrong way? Maybe it was because the lights were too dim."
Gu Wan did not know why Gu Chu helped her. She forced a smile. "Yes, I drank a little too much and did not see the road clearly."
Sun Lin smiled and said, "Chuchu, you're wearing so little. You should go back to your room quickly. Don't catch a cold."
Feng Jia took her hand. "I'll send you back."
"Okay." When she passed by Gu Wan, she looked at her, "It seems that you have to go around the house more. Next time, don't get lost again."
Gu Wan's heart sank, and she almost couldn't breathe. "Yes, thank you for the reminder."
When they returned to her room, Feng Jia said to her again, "Come back with me."
Hehe, Gu Chu asked with a cold face, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"What?" Feng Jia looked puzzled.
He really knew how to pretend. Gu Chu said coldly, "Before this, you always said that it was a coincidence. Now,, you can't even be bothered to say that it was a coincidence?"
"Nothing happened between us."
It was always the same sentence. What else could she expect? Gu Chu felt that she was stupid. She thought that he would have an explanation.
However, she did not expect that he could not be bothered to explain at all.
She opened the door angrily. "Leave."
"Are you really not going back with me?"
"No!" Gu Chu's expression turned even colder.
Feng Jia: "..."
He sighed and walked away.
B * stard! Gu Chu kicked the door twice!
Wasn't this even worth an explanation from him?! Or was it that he was too lazy to explain and thought that she wouldn't fight with him? !
Did he actually think that he had her in his grasp?
At this moment, her phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a flight ticket confirmation from her secretary.
It was good to make a trip to Yangcheng City. She needed to calm down and think about her future.
She lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. Then, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
*
The weather was bad and the flight was delayed. Gu Chu closed the sunshade and continued to sleep.
At the same moment, Feng Jia got up and put on a suit and tie.
His phone vibrated and he picked it up. It was a call from his secretary. "CEO Feng, the car is ready. We can set off for the airport."
His Adam's apple bobbed. "Okay."
The most important project in Haicheng City recently was the Yangchang project. It was a large-scale international complex mall that was about to be built.
The location was excellent, and it was marketed as a new type of mall. It caused countless businessmen to fight over it.
The prospects of this project were limitless, and they were confident that it would make a lot of money.
However, this project had already been taken over by Wang Tai Group.
Wang Tai Group had the complete development chain and the funding. They could have taken over this project without ever looking for a partner.
However, Gu Chu was not willing to give up. She had been following this project, and it turned out that she was just one step away. However, it was suddenly taken over by Wang Tai Group, and she was left with no choice.
Mr. Gu was strict to begin with. He knew that she had put in a lot of effort in this project. If it failed, he would hold her accountable even if she was his daughter. Moreover, she was a competitive person. She would never give up until the last moment.
Therefore, she thought that if she could persuade the Wang Tai Group to cooperate with them, there might be a way to salvage the situation.
Since the Feng Corporation was also in contact with them, it meant that they were considering it. Since they had softened their stance, there was room for negotiation.
Hence, Gu Chu would not give up.
After getting off the plane, Gu Chu went straight to the Wang Tai building.
.
Gu Chu came to the front desk and said to the receptionist, "Hello, I want to see CEO Wang."
The receptionist asked politely, "Do you have an appointment?"
"No." Gu Chu shook his head and asked her, "Can I make one now?"
"And you are?"
"Gu Chu, head of operations of the GU Group."
The front desk lady suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her meaningfully, then she lowered her eyes and said, "I'll make an appointment for you, but CEO Wang's schedule is tight for the next month. I'm afraid he won't be able to see you anytime soon. Please leave your contact information. I'll contact you again when CEO Wang is free to see you."
Gu Chu's secretary immediately widened her eyes. "A month?"
Gu Chu's face was very calm. "Okay, thank you."
After leaving her phone number, Gu Chu pulled the secretary away and left the building.
"Director Gu, if we go back now, wouldn't we have wasted our trip?" The secretary asked in annoyance.
"We're not leaving." She took out her cell phone and showed it to the secretary. "Here, August 19th, Qianke Hotel."
"What's this?" The secretary asked curiously.
"Today is August 19th. It's his birthday. He'll be having dinner there."
"I see."
"Yes, let's go and meet him tonight."
"But, why did you leave your number just now?"
Gu Chu snorted. "Think about it. As soon as we reported our names, she immediately told us that CEO Wang was not free for a month. What does that mean?"
The secretary was a little confused. "Why?"
"She just works the front desk. How would she know the boss' schedule? Since she said that, it means that CEO Wang had instructed her in advance. That's why she rejected us so tactfully."
The secretary was stunned when she heard that. "Is that so?"
"Let's go. We still have a tough battle to fight tonight."
On the way to the hotel, she kept getting Wechat messages. She picked her phone up and saw that they were all sent to her by Lin Yin.
"Damn."
"Hahahahahaha."
"I'm dying of laughter."
"I'm dead."
"..."
Gu Chu replied, "Are you crazy?"
Lin Yin quickly replied, "It's very lively today. Everyone is talking about what happened between you and Feng Jia last night."
"What?"
"They say that young people like you are so passionate. Once you meet, you're like a raging fire. You can't help but… exercise intensely." Lin Yin even added a blush emoji.
Gu Chu: "..."
Gu Chu: "That's it?" She thought there's more.
Lin Yin replied with a laughing emoji. "This is awesome. Those people who spread the rumors about your canceled engagement have now been slapped in the face! They won't dare to spread rumors anymore!"
Gu Chu did not expect that.
Fine. Who asked them to make up stories about her? This should teach them a lesson!
*
The temperature in Yangcheng City was higher than that of Haicheng City. In the hot weather, Gu Chu wore a long dress with a revealing back with two thin straps. She wore a white jade pendant around her neck.
She gave her secretary the day off as she was suffering from menstrual cramps.
She was tall and slim, and looked exquisite. When she walked into the hotel, she attracted a lot of people's attention.
However, unlike everyone else, there was a man who got out of a Maybach. His eyes were indifferent and aloof, and he looked dignified and cool.
The secretary behind him looked at Gu Chu's back and said, "CEO Feng, that seems to be Miss Gu."
He didn't know that Gu Chu had also come to Yangcheng City, but on second thought, she probably came for the Yangchang project.
The secretary whispered, "Should we go and say hello to her?"
Feng Jia glanced at his watch. It was time for his appointment so he said, "Go and see who she's going to see."
"Okay."
Feng Jia first went to the road opposite, to an unknown small shop.
Gu Chu didn't notice that he was here. She was focused on looking for CEO Wang.
She glanced around and soon saw him in a private seat. There were seven or eight men and women around him. They were eating and drinking, looking very lively.
Gu Chu found a seat and sat down. The waiter walked over and handed the menu to her. "Hello, miss. This is our menu."
"Give me a bottle of wine," She said.
Soon, the waiter brought a bottle over. She poured a glass and walked over to CEO Wang with it.
Those people were flattering him. "CEO Wang, it's not fun to eat like this. Do you want a private room to play mahjong?"
