Chapter 98

Just as Qin Zhuo said, Qi Zhao received the appointment notice from Linchuan officials the day after they met and said goodbye.

Although Gu Ci's news arrived an hour earlier than the official one, Qi Zhao still learned about it first through the email.

Because he sent too many text and picture messages, the congratulatory message was pushed to the top.

Qi Zhao turned over it for a long time before he found it.

The taciturn Gu Ci seemed to have been opened up to the Ren and Du channels that night, and his desire to share increased exponentially.

Gu Ci mostly shares his daily life, and when he receives Qi Zhao's reply, he will confess to her directly without buffering.

There is no romance in the text, and every confession is straightforward and sincere.

At that time, Qi Zhao had only one response plan - to pretend to be confused.

After every confession from Gu Ci, Qi Zhao would either ignore him or end the chat as if he hadn't seen him.

The system was a little confused about her behavior and asked Qi Zhao why he didn't agree to Gu Ci.

Qi Zhao only replied that it was not necessary.

Qi Zhao said that Gu Ci's favorability level only had a moment to breathe, and there was no need for her to agree to his confession as she was about to leave this world in the next two days.

But what neither Qi Zhao nor the system realized was that she only said it was unnecessary, not that she didn't like it.

Although the system didn't understand why it was unnecessary to agree to the confession, it gave up after seeing Gu Ci's favorability value still rising after being rejected.

On the morning when Qi Zhao returned to the film and television department, she saw familiar faces as soon as she got out of the elevator in Linchuan.

Xiao Zhao seemed to be the most excited, and her eyes became moist when she saw Qi Zhao.

When he saw Qi Zhao smiling at him and asking her "Why are you crying?", Xiao Zhao couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Qi Zhao.

The girl pursed her lips, her expression and tone were aggrieved: "Minister, I miss you so much."

Qi Zhao touched her head, smiled and comforted: "Don't cry, I will treat you to dinner later."

Everyone looked like Knowing that it would not be easy for the film and television department to come back this time, the emotion on his face was not only happy but also grateful.

Qi Zhao had just calmed down his employees when he was told by Zhou Danhui that there was another meeting upstairs that he needed to attend.

There were not many people attending the meeting. There were only Gu Ci and a few departments closely related to the film and television department in the conference room.

When Qi Zhao walked into the conference room, she saw from the corner of her eye that Gu Ci's back seemed to be sitting up a little straighter. When she looked up, she saw Gu Ci smiling at her.

That smile was not his usual standard formula smile, there was a sense of comfort and happiness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

At this time, Qi Zhao's smile back to him was very polite under the gaze of everyone.

Gu Ci was not annoyed at being perfunctory and still dominated the meeting in a good mood.

Most of the content of this small meeting revolved around the future development of the Film and Television Department. Compared with the previous verbal commitment to fully cooperate with the Film and Television Department, Gu Ci listed more specific relevant regulations this time.

The few veterans present who have been in the workplace for half their lives can also see how seriously the film and television department is valued.

The meeting lasted for nearly two hours. At the end, Qi Zhao left first to go to the bathroom.

After taking care of himself, Qi Zhao just wanted to take the elevator back to his department, but suddenly ran into Manager Li at the corner.

Qi Zhao smiled and greeted politely: "Manager Li? Is the Propaganda Department as busy as before recently?"

Manager Li also smiled and replied: "I'm not busy at work recently, I just need to worry about my family. There are a lot of things."

Qi Zhao, who originally just wanted to say a few polite words and leave, paused for two seconds when he heard Manager Li's answer, which was obviously waiting for him to ask further questions: "Really? Is there something going on at home, Manager Li? ?”

“It’s not a big deal.” Although Manager Li said this, he had no intention of stopping.

He sighed and fixed his gaze on Qi Zhao: "My nephew has never been in love in his 20s. My brother and the others are a little anxious."

Although Qi Zhao's mouth was still smiling, his eyes were curse.

It's none of your brother's business to worry about me.

Manager Li didn't seem to care about Qi Zhao's answer. He didn't pause for two seconds after finishing his sentence and continued to speak.

"Hey." He showed a clumsy expression of surprise, and suggested to Qi Zhao as if he had discovered a new world, "Mr. Qi probably doesn't have a boyfriend, right? How about I introduce you two to each other?"

The last syllable of Manager Li's words was just The second sentence came to his throat: "My nephew is a talented person. He graduated from a prestigious university and now works in a state-owned enterprise next to our company. The conditions are very good!"

The matchmaker in the Propaganda Department turned out to be a good person.

It was not difficult for Qi Zhao to guess why Manager Li would introduce his boyfriend to him at this point.

It was simply because she was isolated by the entire Linchuan some time ago, and now she was invited back with great fanfare by the group's top talker.

She must have one of the means and background.

Manager Li's words were so purposeful that Qi Zhao had no intention of paying attention to him.

Just when Qi Zhao was about to ignore his words and turn around to leave, a sentence suddenly sounded from behind:

"My conditions are also very good."

Qi Zhao and Manager Li both looked over when they heard the sound, and saw Gu Ci's mouth tightened.

To ordinary employees, Gu Ci's sense of oppression as a boss is as terrifying and frightening as the heaven and earth falling.

Manager Li, who rarely had the opportunity to communicate with Gu Ci alone, heard those words and reacted in his mind for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He felt like he had realized something, but he dared not confirm it.

Opening and closing his lips, Manager Li was speechless for a long time and could only stutter out one sentence: "Gu, Mr. Gu."

Realizing that there was comparison and jealousy in Gu Ci's words, Manager Li recalled what he had just said. The words almost made me cry.

Why, why didn't anyone tell him that Mr. Gu likes Qi Zhao!

If he had known about the relationship between these two people, he would not have dared to introduce his nephew to Qi Zhao even if he had 800 courage!

"Manager Li, you must abide by the first-come, first-served rule." At this time, Gu Ci still seemed to think that he was not nervous enough, and continued: "When Qi Zhao refuses, I will introduce your nephew to her."

Li When the manager heard this, he closed his eyes with despair, as if the sky had fallen.

It's over, men in the courtship period are even more terrifying!

"Mr. Gu, Manager Qi, there is a media outlet in the Propaganda Department that wants to promote the Propaganda Department. I have to go there first."

Manager Li, who had no idea what he said, did not dare to look at the two people's reactions and ran away in despair.

Ye Zhiyuan also left at some point, leaving only Gu Ci and Qi Zhao in the huge space.

Gu Ci stared at Qi Zhao and said before she could say anything, "I like you."

Still without any foreshadowing or preamble.

This time, Qi Zhao did not speak immediately or pretended not to hear.

She also raised her head and stared into Gu Ci's eyes, with all kinds of mixed emotions flowing in her eyes.

Gu Ci, who had some difficulties in understanding emotions, felt that he had caught something in Qi Zhao's eyes and seemed to see a response.

But he was not sure that the response was 100% agreement. There seemed to be sadness and escape that came from nowhere.

Qi Zhao's eyes were too complicated for him. Just when he was about to open his mouth to find the answer, she spoke first.

Qi Zhao stared at Gu Ci intently, but what he said was: "I want to go see Xiaoxiao."

Although the topic came up a bit unexpectedly, Gu Ci nodded and said "ok".

Gu Ci drove Qi Zhao back home by himself, and the password at the door was still the familiar series of numbers.

Xiaoxiao, who heard the footsteps, had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. When Qi Zhao opened the door and walked in, he happened to look into those round kitten eyes.

Xiaoxiao looks much rounder than before, and the pointed chin that was a bit thin before has now become rounder.

Xiaoxiao didn't react at all when she saw Qi Zhao. Just when she thought Xiaoxiao had forgotten her, the stupid kitten realized who it was.

Xiaoxiao rubbed around Qi Zhao's calf again and again, making a coquettish sound in his throat: "Meow~"

Qi Zhao squatted down, picked up Xiaoxiao and scratched its chin, seeing Xiaoxiao purring comfortably. After catching my eye, I couldn't help but bury it on its belly and take a sip.

Gu Ci saw Qi Zhao, who raised his head again, kissed the little face and put it on the ground.

Before Gu Ci could look away from Xiaoxiao, Qi Zhao's face enlarged.

There was a softness on his cheek, and Gu Ci's mind went blank.

Xiaoxiao, who was let down, didn't know what happened yet, so he meowed around the two of them.

Gu Ci obviously hadn't finished digesting the "accident", but Qi Zhao had already begun to prepare for the next move.

She raised her arms and put them around Gu Ci's neck, found the right spot and kissed him on tiptoes.

Gu Ci's lips were very similar to him.

A little cold, but surprisingly soft.

Qi Zhao's kissing skills had reached the level of proficiency, and Gu Ci's body reacted first before his mind could react.

The originally steady heartbeat was now out of rhythm, and the warmth and moisture felt from the lips spread rapidly from point to face.

Gu Ci's whole body felt hot, and his hot blood circulated and formed a stream of heat in his lower abdomen.

After regaining consciousness, Gu Ci hugged Qi Zhao's waist with such strength that he seemed to want to rub the person in front of him into his body.

Gu Ci opened his lips. Being inexperienced, he would only take the initiative without any rules.

"Breathe through your nose."

Qi Zhao, whose breathing was also messy, guided Gu Ci step by step.

The diligent and studious Gu Ci quickly grasped the experience accumulated since Qi Zhao, and even had a posture of being superior to others.

Xiaoxiao didn't know when he had left, and there was only the sound of interlaced breathing in the air.

The distance between the two people is getting closer and closer, and the men and women who are close to each other are more aware of each other's physical changes.

The intermission began with an inseparable kiss. After a reluctant peck, their eyes met again.

They saw the same desire in each other's eyes.

Qi Zhao came to Gu Ci's room for the second time, but this time Xiaoxiao was not there and the light was not turned on.

There was a soft sound in the dim room, and only stars twinkled outside the window.
