”There's a meeting in ten minutes.”
Zhu Zinan was interrupted halfway through his words. He took a sip of coffee and raised his head to see that Gu Zhongshen had stood up, ”This purchase has been intercepted, and the losses are only one of the major ones. The company's morale is greatly damaged.”
That face didn't have any expression from beginning to end. Its voice was light and indifferent, as if it didn't care about that phone call at all.
Zhu Zinan was helpless, she stopped him, and with a serious face, she said, ”I say, is the main point now? You said that you were going to bring the two of them away, but it became so awkward? When the time comes, the people will not follow you.
She didn't want to.
Gu Zhongshen's thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line, and her body emitted a somber and indifferent aura. She expressionlessly swept over him, and only then did her cold and thin lips move.
Zhu Zinan, ”...”
Holding his jacket, Gu Zhongshen walked into the conference room, where most of the people who came to attend the meeting had already arrived. Without saying a word, Gu Zhongshen pushed open the door and walked in.
He raised his hand to stop her, deliberately lowering his voice.
”Are the appraisal results out yet? This sort of thing has to be decided by a decision. ”
After saying that, Zhu Zinan raised his head, and faced that emotionless face, he only raised his eyebrows, and did not even bother to explain anything.
He was taken aback. ”Damn, it can't be that he hasn't done it yet!”
Gu Zhongshen's eyes revealed a trace of impatience, his voice was low and hoarse as he stayed in this small area. His long arm landed by his side and he suddenly withdrew his palm, ”Do you want me to personally see the results to prove our relationship?”
”You …”
”You can't change the truth even if you can't see it.”
Seeing him walk in, Zhu Zinan thought about it and could only follow him into the conference room. However, when he looked serious, he kept his phone on the table and sent messages.
It was a very deep night. When the silver colored Maybach stopped outside the Gu’s Yard, the falling snow had already covered the courtyard with a thick layer of snow. The sky above his head was pitch-black, and the pressure of the man's footsteps was very heavy.
Pushing the door open, the room became warm. old steward's stooped body came out of the room, looking up to see him, his eyes curved into a smile, ”Four Young Master is back, have you eaten this point?”
”Eat up, rest early.”
old steward laughed and secretly yawned, ”I was just about to go, turn off the lights for Young Master.”
Bao Bao would feed her food and tell her stories every night. After that, he would go back to his room, but he was not afraid of anything.
Gu Zhongshen did not take off his jacket, instead, he walked straight to the second floor, where he closed the door and a ray of faint yellow light shone through.
In the dim light, he saw a lump in the corner of the bed. It was cold at night, and his whole body was curled up into a ball. He leaned in his direction and looked carefully.
The pitiful Xiao Bai was already deformed in front of Lu Qinan, but his gentle face was still pressed into helplessness.
Gu Zhongshen stood by the side of the bed, his tall body had cast a shadow, covering her whole body. As his gaze lowered, he could just barely see the young lady's pale white face.
Out of the blue, he stretched out his hand, and his fingertip moved towards her face. He could vaguely make out the black shadow in front of her eyes …
He wasn't the only one who hadn't slept well.
”Eat, eat, move away from him …”
Her fingertips were cold, but right when she touched Lu Qinan, she mumbled out, her soft and gentle voice was like silk, wrapping around the hardest part of a man's heart.
After floating for a long time, Gu Zhongshen adjusted his breathing and watched her quietly.
It was just a babble, and he didn't wake up.
He turned around and walked into the bathroom. He quickly took a shower and put on his clothes. While he was wiping his hair, he raised his head. The woman on the bed had already opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Ye Zichen pouted.
”Fourth Uncle …”
The atmosphere was a little strange. Gu Zhongshen let go of the towel and placed it to the side. His black eyes flickered, and very quickly, he retracted his strong emotions.
She looked at him like a child when she had a nightmare, and she wanted to hug him.
Lu Qinan nodded, his fingertips stroking the blanket, and his eyes lit up, as if he had been dyed with something, and was suffused with light.
”Go back to sleep, it's still early.”
It was only eleven o'clock.
Gu Zhongshen carelessly combed his hair and put on his jacket, then quickly wrapped his long and thin body up. His handsome face looked deep and solid under the light, and water occasionally dripped down from his hair.
”Where are you going so late?”
Lu Qinan did not even have the time to react before he blurted out those words. He angrily clenched his fists and asked all the questions he wanted to, simply speaking, ”I was looking for you in the afternoon, I called you but you did not pick up ….”
”In a meeting.”
The man replied in a low voice, his long fingers nimbly buttoning up the last button of his shirt. His clothes were neat, giving off an inexplicable sense of alienation.
”Up until now?”
A little girl's heart wasn't feeling good, if it was daytime, she wouldn't have insisted on asking about it, but she had just woken up with her mind in a mess. Her nightmare was that Bao Bao had brought her along with him, and she was scared to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.
Gu Zhongshen glanced down at her condescendingly, his Adam's apple rolling a little, ”I was busy, so I forgot. Madame has something to tell the Secretary directly, and he will convey it. ”
