Chapter 81

When Qin Zhuo faced Gu Ci's unceremonious answer, the anger in his heart became even more intense.

He pressed the tip of his tongue against his back molar, thinking that Qi Zhao was still here and his purpose of attending this event tonight, he suppressed the hand in his trouser pocket.

Qin Zhuo's mouth was still curved when he spoke, but his eyes were unkind: "Mr. Gu is indeed very capable. You can handle someone as difficult as my mother."

Qin Zhuo raised his foot and took another step closer, the curvature of the corner of his mouth dropped. He stood down and said with piercing eyes: "She has always been flattering about equal exchanges. I wonder what kind of benefits Mr. Gu got that made her agree to this cooperation so easily."

After hearing this, Gu Ci's eyes were still confused. Moved.

Qin Zhuo glanced at Qi Zhao and asked one word at a time: "Is it the film and television department that uses you as a target?"

Qi Zhao subconsciously frowned when he heard the word "target" .

But before she could ask anything, she answered Qin Zhuo's question.

"The arrangements for the film and television department are internal discussions within Linchuan Company. Isn't it a bit against the rules for Mr. Xiao Qin to inquire about such things as an outsider?"

Gu Ci also turned to look at Qi Zhao, and then looked at Qin Zhuo with an inexplicable smile. There was a hint of aggression: "Besides, Qi Zhao also knows these things, so I won't bother Mr. Qin."

Qin Zhuo's expression froze when he heard this, and he frowned in confusion.

The look he looked at Qi Zhao seemed to say, "How did you know?"

In front of Qi Zhao, Qin Zhuo, who originally wanted to use the film and television department's affairs to expose Gu Ci's hypocrite mask, was caught off guard by his words.

Qin Zhuo couldn't understand.

Qi Zhao is obviously so dedicated and responsible to the film and television department, why can he be so indifferent after knowing that the film and television department is just a scam?

...Does she not care about herself or the film and television department?

But Qin Zhuo is now as confident as he is confused about Gu Ci.

Because he knew that Qi Zhao knew about this.

Gu Ci thought Qi Zhao knew about this.

Among the three people present, Qin Zhuo, who got the news out of nowhere, and Gu Ci, who was the planner of the plan, could understand the meaning of each other's words with just a few keywords.

But Qi Zhao, who was misunderstood by Gu Ci from the beginning, always felt a little confused when hearing their exchange.

She could only rely on Qin Zhuo's reaction and the meaning of Gu Ci's words to infer the information.

Film and Television Department, Qiyin, Cooperation, Qin Zhuo, Target.

After connecting these words, Qi Zhao could easily think of the incident when Gu Ci used her to cooperate with Qin's mother.

Qi Zhao did know about this, but she felt something was wrong in her heart.

It seemed like there was some important link that I had overlooked.

Qin Zhuo, who was standing aside, seemed to have been hit by something and could not recover for a long time.

He looked at Qi Zhao and was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth and asked: "...do you know about this?"

Qi Zhao met the disbelief in Qin Zhuo's eyes, and the voice he should have opened his mouth didn't know why he didn't say it for a long time. come out.

She subconsciously changed the topic, from answering the question to asking the question: "Qin Zhuo, why are you here?"

Qi Zhao thought of Qin's mother's previous remarks about Qin Zhuo's filming and studying finance. I asked him: "Is there something wrong with the movie?"

But he was still reporting the progress of the movie in the message yesterday.

Qin Zhuo, who thought subconsciously after hearing Qi Zhao's question, finally came back to his senses from what just happened.

But before speaking, Qin Zhuo glanced at Gu Ci again.

It's like this matter has something to do with him.

Qin Zhuo's eyes seemed to have a lot to say, but when facing Qi Zhao, he only said a brief sentence: "There is nothing wrong with the movie, I just came here to brush my face, and I will fly back to City A tomorrow. "

Qi Zhao didn't know why he seemed to hear a hint of disappointment in his tone.

It was as if something he cared about had suddenly been shattered.

None of the three people spoke for a while.

In a quiet enough thinking environment, Qi Zhao always felt a little strange.

It's just that the current occasion is special, and Qi Zhao doesn't have enough time and space to figure out what he missed.

But just by going through the cause and story of the incident in his mind, Qi Zhao felt that there was something indescribably weird about this incident from beginning to end.

First, she was suddenly invited to attend the banquet by Qin's mother, then she saw Qin Zhuo suddenly appear here, and then there was this strange conversation between Qin Zhuo and Gu Ci.

Qi Zhao felt like he was trying to find his way in thick fog.

No matter how hard she tried, she could only see a part of the distance and couldn't see the whole thing.

When Qi Zhao was rummaging through his memories, a third voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Master, Mr. Xu, please come over."

Qi Zhao turned around and saw a gray-haired waiter.

Qin Zhuo nodded after hearing his words. When he was about to leave, he paused for a few seconds and then looked at Qi Zhao.

Qi Zhao met his eyes and saw a hint of uneasiness in them.

Qin Zhuo, who was obviously fierce a few minutes ago, was now showing weakness in front of Qi Zhao with his lowered eyebrows.

There was clearly a scar on his head, but Qin Zhuo's eyes and tone were extremely gentle: "No matter what happened in a while, I can explain it."

The waiter standing aside glanced at the watch on his wrist and reminded him again. Said: "Master, the time has come."

Seeing that Qi Zhao did not speak, Qin Zhuo looked a little flustered but his eyes were firm. Before leaving, he left something like a vow: "I will not tell lies in front of you."

Qin Zhuo's two words were intimate in tone, and Qi Zhao glanced at Gu Ci's reaction from the corner of his eye.

He didn't say anything, he just kept staring at Qin Zhuo's leaving figure.

【oh--! ! ! Gu Ci's favorability started to rise again! ! ! This time it suddenly increased by seven! ! ! 】

Completely opposite to Gu Ci's calm expression, Qi Zhao's brain was shouting with excitement.

After Qi Zhao heard about Gu Ci's unexpected increase, he speculated in his mind.

Gu Ci's favorable impression just now must be out of jealousy.

So is the large increase this time because his mentality towards himself has changed, or is it because the person he is projecting his jealousy on this time is Qin Zhuo?

Qi Zhao seemed to realize something and frowned.

...Does Gu Ci know that Qin Zhuo has been in love with him?

But before she had time to think about it, she heard the sound of something tapping on the wine glass.

Qi Zhao, who was very sensitive to this kind of sound, immediately located the source of the sound.

The man who tapped the wine glass was standing on the landing of the stairs from the first floor hall to the second floor. When Qi Zhao looked over, the man happened to look at Qi Zhao.

Mother Qin was dressed very formally tonight, with lots of gold and jade and jewels.

A smile appeared on her face when she saw Qi Zhao, and the interest in her eyes seemed to be waiting for some good show.

Qi Zhao looked to the right and saw Qin Zhuo, who had been said by more than one person to have a bad relationship with Qin's mother, standing next to her obediently with his eyes downcast.
