Gu Nanfeng returned home and had just taken off his coat when his cell phone rang.
It was a text message from Jiang Cha Cha: Gu Nanfeng, the person I like is He Yao.
Gu Nanfeng bit her lip and was about to call back.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the living room: "Gu Nanfeng, you're back."
Gu Nanfeng raised his head, his eyebrows raised: "Tang Meini, what are you doing here?"
When he was discharged from the hospital, he asked Uncle Li to clean up the villa that he had not lived in for a long time in advance.
How did Tang Meini get in?
Tang Meini was wearing an apron and a pink bunny headband on her head. She smiled and said, "I prepared dinner for you. You haven't eaten yet, come and eat."
Gu Nanfeng quickly stepped forward and pulled Tang Meini in: "Uncle Li asked you to come in?"
Tang Meini tilted her head and looked down at Gu Nanfeng's strong hand: "Gu Nanfeng, you hurt me."
Gu Nanfeng let her go, and Tang Meini smiled faintly: "It was Uncle Li who let me in, but I begged Uncle Li. I want to take care of you personally, Gu Nanfeng."
Gu Nanfeng's expression was not good, but Tang Meini pretended not to notice it and pointed to a table of steaming food: "I don't know what your taste is, so I made a little bit of both Chinese and Western food."
Gu Nanfeng's tone was an unquestionable command: "You can leave now."
Tang Meini's smile froze for a moment, and she continued, "Well, you must have been feeling suffocated in the hospital, and you must want to be alone when you come back. Then...then I'll go first, don't forget to eat."
She always manages to camouflage other people's very clear instructions, leaving people helpless.
To put it nicely, she is deceiving herself; to put it bluntly, she is taking advantage of the face left for her by others.
Gu Nanfeng is not Jiang Cha Cha, he has no concerns about Tang Meini.
"Tang Meini, I am very grateful for your advice and for coming over often when I was in the hospital, but these thanks end here." Gu Nanfeng held Tang Meini, "I just treat you as a classmate, nothing more, and I hope you don't have any illusions about me."
Tang Meini could no longer hold back her laughter, just as Gu Nanfeng violently tore off the shaky piece of paper hanging on her face, tearing it into pieces!
"Why, why don't you even give me a chance?" Tang Meini turned her head to look at him.
"I already have someone I like, why should I give you a chance?" Gu Nanfeng frowned slightly, "You are in good condition, you don't have to waste your time on me, you can also find someone who truly likes you."
Tang Meini bit her lip unwillingly: "But I just like you."
Gu Nanfeng passed her by and said, "Then there is nothing I can do. I won't send you off."
Tang Meini walked out step by step. She began to understand the feeling in the fairy tale book that the mermaid's feet felt painful and like walking on the edge of a knife before she turned into foam.
As she walked, she heard the sound of Gu Nanfeng throwing what she had made into the trash can.
She didn't look back.
Gu Nanfeng was a cold, arrogant and decisive person. He had the capital to flirt with many girls, but he didn't do so. His calmness was what moved Tang Meini.
Everyone wants to pick the only, bright and precious moon, let alone someone like her who is the most likely to do so in the eyes of the outside world.
Tang Meini walked out of Gu Nanfeng's villa, stood under the street light, and received a call from Gu Qi.
"uncle."
"How about it?"
"No, I was kicked out by Gu Nanfeng." She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I said that I took the initiative to ask Uncle Li to let me in."
The reason why he was able to enter Gu Nanfeng’s villa was because of Gu Qi’s silent support behind the scenes.
But Tang Meini is not stupid. She knows that the relationship between Gu Nanfeng and Gu Qi is strained, and Gu Nanfeng is about to return to the company, so she naturally will not bring up Gu Qi.
Although she couldn't please Gu Nanfeng, Tang Meini still knew how to please her elders.
Gu Qi didn't say anything, but after a pause on the other end of the phone, he said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Tang Meini smiled: "I won't give up, uncle."
After saying a few words, Tang Meini hung up the phone, and finally slowly took off the armor she had been wearing when no one was around.
She experienced frustration for the first time.
It turns out that falling down is so painful.
She couldn't help but think of what that person said: "Minnie, if you kick me, are you confident that you will meet someone who loves you more than me?"
It was drizzling that day. She held an umbrella and didn't even turn her head. She vowed: "I will."
She will always remember the confidence she had that day. She thought that when she turned around, she would embrace the next beautiful thing. She thought that there would never be any rain on her head again.
As Tang Meini walked, she finally couldn't help but sit down on a bench by the roadside, tears streaming down her face.
She didn't burst into tears, because her pride wouldn't allow her to be in such a state of disgrace.
Everything in the distance was blurred, but a figure slowly came into focus.
It seems like he...
No, no, how could he be here?
Tang Meini wiped her tears, and the figure walked towards her more and more clearly.
Really...it's him.
It really is He Yao.
"Why are you here?" Tang Meini turned her head away. In the whole world, the person she least wanted to see crying was him.
"The agent brought me to see the house. I thought the environment here was pretty good, so I looked around." He Yao answered her, as calmly as ever, without even a hint of sarcasm.
This kind of indifference and the past like smoke made Tang Meini feel dazzling.
She stood up: "Really? Then take your time to read it."
"I thought you would be happy after leaving me." Tang Meini turned around and heard He Yao say this behind her.
"Whether happy or not, it has nothing to do with you." Tang Meini replied stubbornly.
"Tang Meini, no matter what, I really hope you're happy." He Yao's voice came from far away, passing over her, "But when I saw you crying just now, it was strange that I didn't feel sad."
He walked forward and opened the umbrella within her sight. Just like the day they said goodbye, the rain really started to fall.
Only this time, she watched him leave.
"He Yao! Didn't I tell you not to pretend to know me?
“We never interacted with each other.
"We are strangers who are strangers than strangers!"
He Yao, who was walking far away, could hear Tang Meini's choked cry. He listened and listened until he could no longer hear it.
Her hysteria seemed to bring him back to the past.
Tang Meini was his first love.
It's easy to like someone when you are young.
It's because she smiles brightly in the sun and her thick black hair dances in the wind. That picture touches you and you fall in love with her.
At that time, he had excellent academic performance, a bright appearance, and could wear the monotonous school uniform well.
The two people came together naturally, as if there was no need for much reason.
But after graduating from high school, everyone became adults and had new pursuits. Their horizons were no longer limited to basketball courts and identical school uniforms.
Her smiles gradually became less frequent. After seeing the environment of his home and knowing that he had to work part-time to raise money for college tuition, she resolutely proposed to break up.
It’s easy to fall in love when you’re young, but it’s not easy to break up.
He hoped she could give him a chance to grow, but her refusal was decisive and straightforward.
That rainy day, her resolute back haunted the entire summer like a nightmare.
It was not until they went to college that they discovered they had entered the same university.
She turned a blind eye and pretended not to know him.
Until he accidentally came into contact with Jiang Cha Cha, Tang Meini mistakenly thought that he was going to cause more trouble, so she came to warn him not to cause trouble, just as if they had no past and asked him not to hinder her happiness. He was really angry.
The person I once loved was so cruel that he wanted to deny their past!
He didn't want to just do as he was told!
However, when he learned that Gu Nanfeng, whom Tang Meini liked, was trying to increase Jiang Cha Cha's sales by any means possible, the knot in his heart spread out like boiling water.
He wanted to help Jiang Cha Cha, he couldn't let Tang Meini be happy alone.
That day in the department store, when holding Jiang Cha Cha's hand and looking into the eyes of Tang Meini and Gu Nanfeng, He Yao had a feeling of standing on the top of a pyramid.
But what he just said was not said in anger.
He thought that seeing her cry would make him feel relieved and happy.
But no, at that moment, he felt nothing.
It was true that he wanted her to be happy, and it was also true that he was not sad to see her cry.
He heard the sobbing behind him, and it was true that he felt relieved.
Since when did his stubbornness melt away?
The rain was getting heavier, and he suddenly wanted to eat red bean popsicles and meet a girl named Jiang Cha Cha.
"Jiang Cha Cha, tell me why you are so unwilling to go to Gu's company for an interview. You must tell me today!"
"If you don't have a valid reason, I'm going to give you a zero on your homework."
Professor Jiang sent several students to Gu's company, but they were all sent back with a look of grievance on their faces.
Jiang Cha Cha was therefore taken to the office and sat opposite Professor Jiang.
Professor Jiang wanted to get to the bottom of the matter face to face.
Jiang Cha Cha: "Professor Jiang, as a teacher, it's not good for you to threaten students, right?"
Professor Jiang raised his eyebrows: "What is Article 2 of the Journalism Code?"
Jiang Cha Cha: "The process is not important, catching up with the news is the most important."
Professor Jiang nodded with satisfaction: "So as long as you are mobilized, it doesn't matter whether it is a threat or a reward."
Jiang Chacha looked at Professor Jiang speechlessly, as he refused to give up until he achieved his goal, and decided to take a step back: "Professor, look, so many people have gone to interview him, but they were all rejected. This shows that the other party just doesn't want to be interviewed. Even if I go, nothing will change, don't you think..."
"No. Every time someone goes there, they ask if it's Jiang Cha Cha who's here for the interview." Professor Jiang's shrewd eyes seemed to be looking through a hole in Jiang Cha Cha. "If they get a negative answer, they're kicked out."
Jiang Cha Cha forced herself to smile again: "Then they can also say that they are Jiang Cha Cha."
Professor Jiang frowned: "Do you think they haven't tried it?"
Jiang Cha Cha slammed her head on the table in frustration: "Professor Jiang, what if I refuse to go?"
Professor Jiang sighed: "If you are determined not to go, there is nothing I can do. It's just... nothing."
He seemed to want to say something but stopped talking.
Professor Jiang suddenly stopped insisting, which made Jiang Cha Cha feel strange.
Could it be that Gu Nanfeng has done something to trip up Professor Jiang, and Professor Jiang is too embarrassed to say it?
Jiang Cha Cha frowned and silently pulled other teachers over to find out what was going on.
No one was sure, they only knew that Professor Jiang had said he might hold a news exhibition, but he looked depressed and dejected today.
It was over. Jiang Cha Cha felt as if a pair of evil hands were tightly strangling her neck.
In addition to his lifelong desire to cultivate journalists who could succeed him, Professor Jiang's greatest wish is to exhibit all the news he has done in his life, but the exhibition hall in the center of T City is not open to everyone.
It feels so bad to be morally kidnapped!
Jiang Cha Cha came to the store to buy red bean popsicles with a fierce ideological struggle, and ended up seeing He Yao.
She was about to call him, but she saw Tang Meini coming out of the store, and the two of them were rummaging in front of the freezer. From her angle, she could see Tang Meini's mouth move, and then she turned around and left without taking anything.
He Yao's hands were still rummaging in the freezer, but it felt like he was just repeating the action.
Jiang Chacha stepped forward, took out two red bean popsicles that were easily found on the top, and handed them to He Yao: "What's wrong?"
He Yao was a little surprised by her sudden appearance and smiled: "Huh? No."
Jiang Cha Cha didn't say anything else. Instead, she put the change on the freezer, said hello to her grandmother, and motioned He Yao to go to the bench nearby to eat a popsicle.
He Yao nodded.
The two of them sat down, and Jiang Cha Cha suddenly turned around and asked him, "He Yao, do you know Tang Meini?"
"I don't know him." He Yao denied subconsciously, "Of course, I have heard of him. What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Jiang Cha Cha smiled and shook her head.
Just now, He Yao's pupils clearly became a little bigger and his voice tone became a little higher. He lied.
But why would he lie?
Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but think of the familiar figure that she saw fleeing quickly downstairs of the teaching building that day.
While lost in thought, He Yao tapped her red bean popsicle with his red bean popsicle: "Why, are you in a bad mood again? Who offended you?"
Jiang Cha Cha didn't say anything.
"Could it be Gu Nanfeng again?" His smile was sour, as if he was mocking himself or asking an uncertain question.
Jiang Cha Cha turned to look at He Yao: "Why did you mention him?"
In her opinion, Gu Nanfeng was no longer in school, and the intersection seemed to be broken. Objectively speaking, he shouldn't have pointed out Gu Nanfeng so bluntly.
"I just guessed." He Yao smiled and thought to himself that since the first time I met you, your troubles all came from him.
"It's Professor Jiang. He insisted that I do an interview, but I didn't want to." Jiang Chacha took the red bean popsicle as if it were Professor Jiang and took a big bite. Her teeth were sore from the cold and her brows trembled slightly. "But if I insist on refusing, his exhibition will be ruined."
"If there is any hesitation, it is better to go ahead without hesitation." He Yao patted Jiang Cha Cha's shoulder and said.
Jiang Cha Cha was slightly startled, and her thoughts were pulled back to a certain memory—
"Minnie, I want to go to Hong Kong Disneyland, but you know my family situation. I'm afraid that if I go, the travel expenses and expenses will be very high."
"I've already told you, you don't have to spend any money, I'll take care of it."
"That won't work! It was supposed to be our graduation trip."
"Jiang Cha Cha, just answer me one question, do you want to go play?"
"I……"
"If you have any hesitation at all, it's better to go ahead without hesitation. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it later!"
…
He Yao saw Jiang Cha Cha staring at him and smiled guiltily: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Cha Cha shook her head: "You are right."
There is a little hesitation, which means that you still can't bear it.
It's impossible to be completely heartless and unrighteous. I can only blame myself. Who else can I blame?
Jiang Cha Cha went to Gu Group with gritted teeth and asked the front desk to tell Gu Nanfeng that Jiang Cha Cha was visiting.
The front desk clerk answered the phone with a smile, and then told Jiang Cha Cha with a smile: “I’m sorry, our General Manager Gu said that no matter which Jiang Cha Cha you are, please go back.”
"What?" Jiang Cha Cha took a deep breath. She should have thought that even if she came to him on her own initiative, he would still make things difficult for her!
Which ginger tea?
Jiang Cha Cha snatched the phone from the girl at the front desk: "Really? Let me call you back."
When the girl at the front desk saw this and was about to defend her area of ​​work, she was met with a killing look and had to silently retract her slender hand.
Jiang Cha Cha heard two beeps on the other end of the phone and someone picked up the phone.
"Mr. Gu, I'm Jiang Cha Cha. I wonder if I have the honor to interview you?"
The person on the other end of the phone paused for two seconds: "No." Then he hung up the phone neatly.
Jiang Cha Cha held the phone and looked at the receptionist girl again with a working smile on her face.
Very good, after not seeing you for a few days, this guy Gu Nanfeng's ability to irritate people has only gotten better.
Jiang Cha Cha simply decided to wait.
The first floor lobby of Gu's Group is paved with gray-white tiles, which makes people feel like they are embedded in a large snow field. On the left hand side is the elevator, and you need to swipe your work card to get to the elevator area; on the right hand side is a white spiral staircase.
There was nothing there except the two girls at the front desk sitting behind a long glass cabinet.
Jiang Cha Cha wanted to sit on the sofa and wait, but there was no sofa. She could only stand against the wall, stepping on the hard floor tiles. She couldn't help but regret not bringing a portable folding chair.
There was no telling how long Gu Nanfeng would deliberately leave her alone.
About twenty minutes later, just as Jiang Cha Cha was standing on one leg, she saw a group of people coming down the stairs.
Walking at the front of the crowd was Gu Nanfeng, who was wearing a tailor-made blue suit, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and his hair was all combed back, revealing his full and white forehead, making his whole face look more elite.
A large group of staff followed him and walked downstairs in a mighty manner.
He clearly saw her, but he just glanced at her and looked away.
Jiang Cha Cha walked forward quickly: "Boss Gu."
The two female secretaries behind Gu Nanfeng stepped over at the right time and stopped Jiang Chacha who was approaching: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Jiang Cha Cha looked at Gu Nanfeng and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm Jiang Cha Cha from the Journalism Department of T University. I hope to do an exclusive interview with you."
Everyone looked at each other, and then another person who called herself Jiang Cha Cha appeared!
Gu Nanfeng looked at her as if he didn't know her and said, "You said you are Jiang Cha Cha, how do you prove it?"
Jiang Cha Cha rolled her eyes silently in her heart and reached into her bag to get her student card: "I have a student card."
"Student ID cards can be faked." Gu Nanfeng interrupted, "Reporters always do whatever it takes."
He stepped forward and passed her: "I have to go to a meeting. If you are willing to wait, you can continue to wait here."
The beautiful female secretary glanced at Jiang Cha Cha, and followed Gu Nanfeng. A group of people walked past her in a hurry, ignoring her as nothing.
Jiang Cha Cha took a deep breath silently and chased after him again: "Boss Gu."
Since you have decided to do it, you must do it well. This is the principle that Jiang Cha Cha has firmly believed in.
This time, Gu Nanfeng did not reject her and was even willing to ride in the same car with her.
Jiang Cha Cha could sit not far from him, but there was a secretary between them, as if there were a world between them.
The female secretary looked at the iPad in her hand, her voice as gentle as water, and she always seemed calm like He Yao -
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Chen, whom you are going to meet later, just broke up with his girlfriend.
“My blood type is AB, I have 400 degrees of myopia, I have mild hypoglycemia, my hobby is rock climbing, and I can’t play games.
“The countries I’ve been to include the United States, France, Brazil, India, and Thailand.”
Gu Nanfeng kept his eyes closed and rested. The index finger of his right hand, which was on his thigh, tapped up and down intentionally or unintentionally, which proved that he was thinking all the time.
Looking at his profile, Jiang Cha Cha suddenly felt that someone was completely different from the person he was in school.
The car soon arrived at the door of a teahouse.
Gu Nanfeng got out of the car.
Jiang Cha Cha followed him in and came to a private room at the end of the corridor with a plaque at the door called "Yazhu".
Just as the female secretary was about to push the door open, Gu Nanfeng stopped and frowned: "Change the box."
The female secretary was slightly startled.
"Didn't you find out that his ex-girlfriend's Chinese name was Yang Yazhu?" Gu Nanfeng frowned and reminded, then turned around immediately.
Jiang Cha Cha felt a gust of wind passing by her, and this gust of wind also blew into her heart. A very strange feeling surged in her heart, as if she was killed by something.
After changing to a private room, Mr. Chen also arrived.
Gu Nanfeng stood up to greet him.
If we only look at their conversation, we would think they are very familiar friends. However, the "familiarity" that Jiang Chacha saw and heard was just from the information prepared by the secretary five minutes ago, and Gu Nanfeng used it.
Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but laugh out loud. No wonder they say good businessmen are also the best actors.
"Who is this..." Mr. Chen turned his head and saw Jiang Cha Cha, thinking it was an important person he needed to meet, so he couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Chacha was still daydreaming, and before she knew it, the host, Mr. Chen, had his eyes on her. She had originally just wanted to stay in the corner and act as a foil, but now she felt a little embarrassed.
"She is Jiang Cha Cha, my secretary." Gu Nanfeng glanced at her and introduced her.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned for a moment, and then she just went with the flow and reached out: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Mr. Chen nodded and stretched out his hand to shake hands politely, but was interrupted by Gu Nanfeng the next second. He walked to the table and sat down: "Mr. Chen, come and sit down."
A teahouse is different from a dinner party, as it lacks the hustle and bustle.
However, meetings between businessmen may take different forms, but their purposes are the same.
While Gu Nanfeng was preparing the tea and pouring it, he slowly opened up to Mr. Chen and discussed the cooperation plan.
Jiang Cha Cha sat quietly in the corner, as if watching a game between smart people. During the verbal confrontation, those invisible interests seemed to sway left and right in the air.
In the end, Gu Nanfeng moved the other party with a plane ticket for a relaxing trip, and thus signed an order of 30 million.
Jiang Cha Cha used a banana as a microphone to interview Gu Nanfeng: "Boss Gu, don't you think it's a bit despicable that you played the emotional card to get Boss Chen to sign the contract under such an emotional situation?"
"Strategies don't distinguish between despicable and despicable, the result is what matters most. Didn't your professor Jiang teach you that?" Gu Nanfeng raised his eyebrows and remained calm.
Speaking of Professor Jiang, the knot in Jiang Cha Cha's heart exploded: "You are threatening me with Professor Jiang's dream of holding an exhibition. This is even more despicable!"
Gu Nanfeng shrugged and said proudly: "You don't have to come."
After coming out of the teahouse, Jiang Cha Cha stopped in front of Gu Nanfeng and said, "No matter what, Mr. Gu, I am here after all. Can you please give me a favor and agree to an interview?"
The sun was slightly intoxicating, and her face, which had mustered up the courage to surrender, was bright and charming.
Gu Nanfeng felt itchy in his heart, and he approached Jiang Cha Cha and said, "I told you, you have to prove that you are Jiang Cha Cha."
"How to prove..."
Gu Nanfeng kissed her.
Jiang Cha Cha's pupils instantly dilated, reflecting his smiling eyes and brows.
Later, every time she recalled this kiss, she remembered vividly the feeling of the blood rushing to her scalp and her whole body suddenly stiffening at that moment.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe just a few seconds, or maybe more than that.
Gu Nanfeng stepped back and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, now I am sure you are Jiang Cha Cha."
Jiang Cha Cha's legs went weak and she staggered backward, barely able to stand until she grabbed the car door.
Gu Nanfeng bent down and picked her up, and took her directly to the car and sat her down: "Secretary Bai, take the contract back to the company first."
The secretary didn't get in the car, but nodded respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Gu."
Gu Nanfeng returned to the car and sat in the back seat again.
There was no secretary sitting between her and him at this time, but she didn't dare to sit closer.
Gu Nanfeng closed his eyes and remained sitting in a resting posture.
Jiang Cha Cha's eyes almost popped out, but he didn't move at all, as if the person who took advantage of others just now was not him at all!
"If you want to scold me, just say it out loud. Don't keep it in your heart. I'm afraid it will hurt you." Gu Nanfeng suddenly spoke, scaring Jiang Cha Cha.
"You are despicable!" Jiang Cha Cha blurted out the words that she had practiced countless times in her mind, but they came out as soft as three flies flying by.
Gu Nanfeng curled his lips. This scolding was not painful or itchy, but more like a spoiled child. It sounded really comfortable: "Ms. Jiang, I have verified your identity. You can start the interview."
Jiang Cha Cha looked at the memo in her hand, and all she saw seemed to be garbled characters. She had no idea what she wanted to ask.
This feeling is so uncomfortable!
She was upset and suddenly the car braked suddenly.
Jiang Cha Cha was pushed forward by inertia, and Gu Nanfeng stretched out his right hand and held her tightly.
"Are you okay?" Gu Nanfeng asked.
Jiang Cha Cha lowered her eyes to look at his hand and shook her head.
The driver was also a little frightened, and turned his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, are you okay?"
Gu Nanfeng then turned cold and asked, "How do you drive?"
The driver felt aggrieved: "Boss Gu, someone suddenly turned the car over."
Gu Nanfeng looked over and saw He Yao getting out of the car next to him.
A hint of mischief flashed across Gu Nanfeng's dark eyes, and he opened the car door and got out.
He Yao smiled slightly: "Sorry, I was driving a little fast."
Two men approached each other.
Gu Nanfeng was wearing a blue suit and He Yao was wearing a red long coat. They had equal aura and outstanding looks like the scorching sun and the bright moon, and they could not fail to attract attention.
Some female drivers passing by couldn't help but lose their composure and took out their cell phones to take secret photos.
The two of them didn't care about the outside world at all, and their eyes were already in confrontation.
Gu Nanfeng walked up to He Yao and squinted his eyes: "You did it on purpose."
He Yao narrowed his eyes as he followed his words: "Why would I do that on purpose?" He Yao glanced at Jiang Cha Cha who was getting out of the car, and answered himself, "Oh, so it turns out that my girlfriend was in your car."
Gu Nanfeng snorted coldly and glanced at the black Ferrari driven by He Yao: "He Yao, where did you borrow this car from? It's of good taste. But if you drive so recklessly, can you afford the repair costs?"
He Yao smiled: "Oh, you mean this car? It's a gift I gave myself as a reward after I got the investment. I wanted to ask Cha Cha to go for a ride together, but I didn't expect her to be in your car."
Gu Nanfeng was slightly stunned. Investment?
At this time, Jiang Cha Cha hurried forward: "He Yao, I'm working. I told you that I was doing an interview."
Her words were very harsh to Gu Nanfeng. He put his hands in his pockets, his face extremely cold: "My time is precious. Since you didn't hit my car, forget it."
Gu Nanfeng turned around and walked towards the car.
Jiang Cha Cha was panicked when she saw this.
He Yao took a step forward and was about to speak when Jiang Cha Cha turned around and chased after Gu Nanfeng: "He Yao, I won't talk to you for now. Let's talk later."
She got into the car quickly and it drove away.
He Yao's hand remained in the air awkwardly, and his open mouth did not close for a long time.
Amid the flying dust, she left without looking back.
The loss collapsed in He Yao's heart.
He wanted to show her his new car; he wanted to let her know that he had just received a large amount of financing and that his company was moving to a new level. He wanted to share his success and joy with her.
But she didn't give him a chance.
At that moment, her turning away buried all his joy.
On the other side, in the car.
Gu Nanfeng still maintained the same serious posture as before, but the finger he was pointing down turned into a clenched fist, and the coldness on his face became even colder.
Jiang Cha Cha didn't know what he was angry about, so she had to bite the bullet and ask, "Boss Gu, people outside say that your move to enter the family business this time is a prelude to announcing that you are the heir to the Gu family. What do you think?"
Gu Nanfeng turned his head quickly.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned.
In the quiet car, Gu Nanfeng's gaze made Jiang Chacha's heart stop beating. He only said, "I'm not in the mood to answer your questions now."
Jiang Cha Cha bit her lip and sat up straight silently. Now she was a reporter and he was the interviewee. Her temper was useless, so she had to endure it.
"Sing." He suddenly said again.
She was stunned: "Huh?"
Gu Nanfeng: "I'm very bored now, I want to hear you sing."
Jiang Cha Cha quickly thought of one of the few songs she knew: "This wind chime is very close to the feeling of heartbeat, and this letter is still missing the journey..."
Gu Nanfeng suddenly approached and Jiang Cha Cha turned her head instinctively.
His face once again magnified in her pupils: "Jiang Cha Cha, are you so obedient?"
Jiang Cha Cha was speechless.
"Then I want you to say something, are you willing to say it?" There was a sly flash in his eyes, and his smile was like a fountain.
"W-what?" Damn it, she stuttered.
"I like you."
"Ah?" Her ears buzzed.
"Why, you don't want to tell me?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled more deeply. His confidence that she would do as he said made her feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Gu, this is an excessive request." Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but resist.
"Very good." Gu Nanfeng nodded, put his hands back on his knees, and tapped his fingers. "I thought you had lost all your principles for this interview."
Jiang Cha Cha's hand instantly fell on the car door handle, and the words "get out" came to her lips.
Finally, she sighed in compromise and asked, "Mr. Gu, what do you want in exchange for accepting my interview?"
Gu Nanfeng closed his eyes and curled his lips: "Stay close to me these few days! Maybe when I'm in a better mood, I'll be willing to answer your questions."
Jiang Cha Cha's face turned red again unconsciously. She didn't know why, but when she heard him say the word "close", the awkwardness in her heart arose again.
In the next few days, wherever Gu Nanfeng went, Jiang Cha Cha followed like a shadow.
When Gu Nanfeng first returned to the Gu family, many things came to him like a flood.
Sometimes, Jiang Cha Cha felt tired just sitting next to him and watching him handle official business, but she had never seen him show any sign of weariness.
No matter how late he is, he is always organized. Even if he is undecided in the previous second, when he sees someone in the next second, there is no panic on his face.
Jiang Cha Cha's eyes were like a recorder, recording the state of Gu Nanfeng who was responsible for all the company's affairs.
In fact, many questions don’t need to be asked. During these few days of getting along, Jiang Cha Cha also found the answers.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening again, and Gu Nanfeng had just finished a remote meeting with people in Europe. He returned to the office and his secretary asked him to sign the contract.
He asked his secretary to go out first and looked at the contract carefully.
As he looked, he felt that someone was always looking at him.
"Am I that attractive?"
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned for a moment and blinked: "I just think that not all rich boys are playboys."
Gu Nanfeng looked up and smiled: "That's your prejudice against the rich second generation. Our efforts are sometimes beyond your imagination."
Jiang Cha Cha pouted and stretched out her tone: "I have seen in the past few days that others dare not underestimate you as the future successor of the Gu family."
Gu Nanfeng's smile faded: "I just came back to help. This is the agreement between my father and me."
Jiang Cha Cha recalled that day in the hospital when she learned from Tang Meini that he wanted to go back to the Gu family for help. She couldn't help but stammer, "I thought you were going to give up your dream completely."
"what are you saying?"
"Nothing." Jiang Cha Cha played dumb.
"Are you afraid that I will take over, or do you not want me to take over?" Gu Nanfeng crossed his arms and looked at Jiang Cha Cha's expression at the moment.
Jiang Cha Cha waved her hand: "What does it have to do with me whether you take over or not?"
"That's right. Your boyfriend is a talented computer scientist and is secretly soliciting investments outside. You don't even take a rich second-generation like me seriously." Gu Nanfeng sneered.
Jiang Cha Cha was furious: "Gu Nanfeng! It's true that I love money, but I like to earn it with my own hands. I have never thought about catching a rich husband!"
There were only two of them in the office.
Her roar was particularly loud in the silent space. After the roar, time seemed to stand still and it became even quieter.
Until Gu Nanfeng stood up and walked around the desk step by step.
Jiang Cha Cha had always called "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu" respectfully. After being provoked like this, she regained her heroic spirit. For a moment, her aura was reversed and she became tough.
Gu Nanfeng walked up to her and looked at her angry face: "Have you really never thought about it?"
"I haven't thought about it!" Jiang Cha Cha replied affirmatively and firmly.
Gu Nanfeng suddenly put his arm around her waist and said, "Then promise me that you will think about it carefully from now on, okay?"
His sudden tenderness made Jiang Cha Cha unable to react for a moment. She only felt his body pressed against her, and the warmth was transmitted even through her clothes.
"Hey! Let me go!" Jiang Cha Cha shuddered and pushed him .
He didn't let go, and as they pushed each other, gravity was unbalanced and he and she fell onto the sofa together.
The two people looked at each other.
Jiang Cha Cha only felt that the entire starry sky was tilting towards her.
"Think about me carefully." Gu Nanfeng whispered, "Okay?"
Walking out of Gu Group and standing in the square under the Optimus Prime Building, Jiang Cha Cha lowered her head in a daze.
Think about me.
Think about me carefully, okay?
Think about me carefully, okay?
Gu Nanfeng's words always surrounded her like a poison, flowing from one side to the other.
Jiang Cha Cha put her hands on her chest, her heart beating wildly.
She felt that she must have been poisoned by someone, otherwise why would she feel so dizzy and unable to concentrate on walking?
"Chacha."
Jiang Cha Cha looked in the direction of the voice and saw He Yao standing not far away calling her with a smile.
"He Yao."
He Yao stepped forward and wrapped the scarf in his hand around her neck: "It's a bit cold at night, don't catch a cold."
Jiang Cha Cha touched the soft scarf and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up from get off work, it's so late." He said and tried to hold her hand, but she dodged.
"I'm fine. I'm going to take a taxi back to school. You really don't have to pick me up."
He Yao put his hands back into his pockets, hiding a hint of displeasure: "Have you eaten?"
Jiang Cha Cha nodded, but her stomach growled loudly.
God knows, Gu Nanfeng asked his secretary to bring back some food for her, but it was obvious that Gu Nanfeng was busy and didn't eat, so she just put down her chopsticks silently, feeling embarrassed to eat.
He Yao smiled: "I know a restaurant that's still open this late. Let's go."
He took her to a restaurant called "Grandma Xu's Rice Noodle Shop".
The restaurant is at the end of a street. It is not big and can only accommodate five or six tables, but there is steam rising from the glass-separated kitchen, which makes people feel appetizing and warm.
As soon as He Yao entered the store, he called the white-haired old lady sitting at the cashier: "Grandma Xu, two bowls of rice noodles, one with spicy sauce and one without spicy sauce."
Granny Xu looked up, and when she saw He Yao, she smiled so hard that her dentures showed: "You little brat, you haven't been here for a long time."
He Yao smiled sheepishly: "Because I'm too busy."
Granny Xu looked at Jiang Cha Cha knowingly: "Oh, you are busy dating, right?"
He Yao pursed his lips shyly and motioned for Jiang Chacha to sit down at the table next to him: "The rice noodles here are delicious, you should try them."
Jiang Cha Cha nodded: "Do you come here often?"
"I guess so." He Yao smiled. "When I was preparing for the college entrance examination, I would do my homework until very late and always come here to eat a bowl of rice noodles."
Jiang Chacha nodded and looked around: “Then you should have a lot of memories here.”
He Yao was startled, some previous fragments flashed in his eyes, and then he asked: "How long will you stay in Gu's?"
He suddenly changed the topic here. Jiang Cha Cha was unprepared and remained silent.
"I'm worried that you'll miss the class." He Yao realized that his question was abrupt and explained.
"I may have to stay for a few more days. This interview is a serial." Jiang Cha Cha smiled awkwardly, "So it will take some time."
She didn't even dare to look He Yao in the eye, as if it was a detection instrument that would reveal some unspeakable secrets.
"So you don't have to come pick me up in the future." Jiang Cha Cha forced a smile, "The time is uncertain. I have to cooperate with his work arrangements to avoid trouble."
He Yao lowered his eyes, took the chopsticks and handed them to Jiang Cha Cha: "I don't think it's troublesome." He handed over the chopsticks, "Or do you think it's troublesome?"
He has always been gentle, but the occasional sense of oppression in his gentleness can actually make people feel suffocated.
Jiang Cha Cha took the chopsticks and frowned slightly in suppression.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that the company received a large amount of financing."
At this time, Granny Xu brought over the rice noodles. Taking advantage of the steaming atmosphere to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Chacha looked at He Yao and said, "Haozi must be very busy."
He Yao nodded: "He works overtime day and night, I have to take out a portion and send it to him later."
Jiang Cha Cha also agreed: "Then I want to take some back for Xiao Can too."
At this point in the conversation, both of them were speechless for a moment. They just lowered their heads to eat rice noodles and stopped talking.
Back at the school dormitory, Jiang Cha Cha threw the takeaway to Jin Xiaocan, took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.
Jin Xiaocan slurped his rice noodles while glancing at her: "You're sleepy so soon? Are you tired from today's interview?"
Jiang Cha Cha stared at the wall with wide eyes and ignored him.
She felt like she was going crazy.
The next day, Jiang Cha Cha fell ill.
In a daze, Jiang Cha Cha heard Jin Xiaocan exclaiming in her ear, "Cha Cha, you have a fever."
Jiang Cha Cha was weakly supported by Jin Xiaocan and was going to the infirmary. The moment the sunlight fell into her eyes, she fainted.
When she woke up again, she saw herself lying on the bed in the school infirmary, with He Yao sitting beside her.
Jiang Cha Cha: “I…”
He Yao said, "Although your high fever has subsided, you still need to rest more. Don't talk for now."
Jiang Chacha opened her mouth and He Yao smiled: "I wanted to pick you up for work, and I saw Jin Xiaocan anxiously helping you walk out, and you fainted after taking only two steps."
Jiang Cha Cha lowered her eyes: "Thank you."
At this moment, the cell phone on the bedside table rang. Jiang Cha Cha glanced over and subconsciously thought it was Gu Nanfeng.
He Yao took the phone and saw that the number on the phone was Gu Nanfeng.
He picked up the phone directly: "Hello, Cha Cha will not go to your place for the interview today. I'll ask for leave on her behalf."
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
Jiang Cha Cha wanted to say something, but He Yao stuffed his phone directly into his pocket: "Have a good rest and don't think about anything else. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
His tone was still gentle, but his actions were a bit more overbearing.
Under his burning gaze, Jiang Cha Cha curled her lips slightly: "Whatever is fine."
He Yao gently stroked her forehead, then stood up and left.
Jiang Cha Cha just felt like there was a stone blocking her heart.
At this time, another cell phone rang.
She was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was the phone that Gu Nanfeng had taken away before. Since Gu Nanfeng returned the phone, she habitually carried both phones with her.
Jiang Cha Cha saw that the caller was still Gu Nanfeng, and she hesitated to answer it until the screen went out.
"Cha Cha, are you okay?" At this time, Tang Meini walked in quickly.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously stuffed her phone under the quilt: "Minnie."
"I'm sorry, I've been busy helping Gu Nanfeng deal with the news department these days and haven't had time to contact you." Tang Meini hugged Jiang Cha Cha with a gust of wind, "Are you sick? Is it serious?"
Jiang Cha Cha was in a trance, as if she was back in high school.
That was the time when she worked the hardest to make money. She often turned day and night upside down, forgot to eat, and fainted from weakness several times. Every time, Tang Meini would rush to her first, hold her head and ask about her well-being.
"I'm fine, I just have a slight fever."
Tang Meini was angry and helpless. She touched Jiang Chacha's forehead and asked, "Are you too tired from interviewing Gu Nanfeng?"
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned. She had been following Gu Nanfeng at Gu's company these past few days, but hadn't seen Tang Meini. She thought she didn't know.
"Gu Nanfeng is like this. He is like a robot when he works. He doesn't make sense at all and is like a piece of iron." Tang Meini lowered her eyes and smiled. "Uncle Gu is the same. The father and son actually have the same personality, but they always like to argue with each other."
"No, it's my own fault." Jiang Cha Cha lowered her eyes. Tang Meini's words were all about her familiarity with Gu Nanfeng's family. "I didn't even know that you went to work at Gu's, Meini."
Tang Meini was startled and slapped her forehead: "My uncle asked me to go! I was so busy that I forgot to tell you. I'm sorry."
At this time, He Yao came back with food. When he saw Tang Meini, he was just slightly flustered, and then greeted: "You are here."
Tang Meini groaned and blamed, "How did you take care of Cha Cha? You actually made her sick."
He Yao also said "hmm": "I will pay attention next time."
Jiang Cha Cha looked at the two people who were trying hard to act natural but still looked awkward, and finally couldn't help asking, "Did you know each other before?" When she asked this suddenly, both of them were caught off guard and stood there in a daze.
Jiang Cha Cha smiled bitterly: "Is this question difficult to answer?"
"No, we didn't know each other before." Tang Meini and He Yao said in unison, word for word.
After he finished speaking, the air in the infirmary froze.
The reason why lies are lies is that once a hole is poked in them, they are like a flying balloon, deflated and falling to the ground, with nowhere to hide.
Tang Meini stood up and wanted to leave: "Then...then I'll go back to the company first, Cha Cha, you have a good rest."
Jiang Cha Cha called her: "Minnie, wait a moment."
Jiang Cha Cha asked He Yao to leave first, as they and their best friend had something to talk about in private.
It's been very hard for both of them during this awkward period.
Jiang Cha Cha sighed softly: "Aren't we good friends who can talk about anything?"
Tang Meini didn't say anything.
"Since when did there become a gap between us, and even our conversations are awkward?"
Tang Meini didn't look at her, but stared at the white stone bricks under her feet.
Jiang Cha Cha asked again: "I don't understand. It's not an exaggeration for you to know He Yao. Why did you lie to me? Or are you hiding something from me?"
"What about you?" Tang Meini finally turned her head to meet her questioning eyes, "Have you ever lied to me?"
Jiang Cha Cha was slightly stunned.
"Let me ask you, do you like Gu Nanfeng?" Tang Meini's eyes were as sharp as a torch, not allowing Jiang Cha Cha to escape.
Jiang Cha Cha felt like there was something stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound. She only heard Tang Meini chuckle, "Is this question difficult to answer?"
"I admit that I am attracted to him." After a while, Jiang Cha Cha heard herself say this.
Tang Meini chuckled: "You are finally willing to confess."
"But……"
Jiang Cha Cha wanted to explain, but Tang Meini suddenly stood up and interrupted her: "Don't say anything more, I don't want to listen."
The light coming through the door trapped Tang Meini in a shadow. Her face could not be seen clearly, and only her chest heaving with excitement could be seen.
"Uncle Gu has tacitly allowed me to be with Gu Nanfeng. I really want to get along well with Gu Nanfeng. Cha Cha, I hope you won't ruin my happiness." She said this in a pleading and warning tone. The cold and hard words that she tried hard to suppress echoed harshly in Jiang Cha Cha's ears. "In this way, we can still be good friends."
In this way, we are still good friends.
After saying that, Tang Meini ran away.
The light from the door was completely unobstructed and came in.
Jiang Cha Cha closed her eyes, felt her nose sore, and a tear escaped from the corner of her eye.
She clearly didn't have anything, but she felt like she had lost something.
He Yao came back from outside, pulled over a chair, took out the porridge, and while feeding Jiang Cha Cha, he told her, "Tang Meini and I knew each other before. I pursued her, but she didn't agree. Now she is dating Gu Nanfeng, and we don't want to cause misunderstanding, so we don't want to mention it. That day downstairs in the teaching building, you saw me talking to her, and she wanted me not to mention knowing her."
He explained the situation briefly, hoping that she would not pursue it too deeply so that there would be no misunderstanding.
"I'm sorry, Cha Cha, just this once, I lied to you." He Yao apologized sincerely and swore, "I promise I will never lie to you again, okay?"
Jiang Cha Cha nodded.
Tang Meini has a strong personality and she hopes her life will be perfect. He Yao's background is not as good as Gu Nanfeng's, and his current achievements are also due to his spontaneous efforts. I can understand that he would have this idea.
Jiang Cha Cha thought that Uncle Gu was such a harsh and serious person, and only a princess like Tang Meini could get his green channel.
A feeling of inferiority surged in her heart, and after taking the medicine, she fell asleep in a daze.
