Chapter 126: Aren't You Humiliating Me?

  Gu Yinan walked in high heels on the marble floor, just at work time, but the employees of the CEO's office had already arrived early. They usually received a salary 30% higher than others, so it was natural that their work was more complicated, seemingly simple, yet they were busy from morning to night without any leisure time.

  Gu Yu was unlike those high-ranking executives, who would often come late without any explanation. Gu Yu had always been the earliest to arrive, regardless of wind or rain, and never late.

  So, this group of secretaries has always been the most punctual, following Gu Yan's rhythm, and their work efficiency is several points higher than that of other groups.

  Gu Yan walked in, bypassing the rows of cubicles, exchanging greetings with people along the way, when he heard Xiao Qian's voice behind him, accompanied by the sound of his leather shoes slapping against the floor.

  "Gu Yan."

  Gu Yu turned her head back, looked at Xiao Qian, pointed and gestured for him to go inside and talk.

  Xiao Qian's gloomy eyes stared at her, Gu Yu raised an eyebrow, wondering if she had done something wrong again.

  However, thinking about it, Xiao Qian seemed to have never had a good expression towards her since early morning.

  Xiao Qian is a person who wakes up in a bad mood, and if someone wakes him up, it's even worse.

  Gu Yu knew that he wasn't lazy, but rather it was a habit of his profession to stay up late, studying data and materials alone in the middle of the night. Xiao Qian was even more so, often sleeping at one or two o'clock in the morning was normal for him.

  So every morning when he woke up, his face was always gloomy, and Gu Yan never provoked him, lest they quarrel early in the morning and affect their mood for the day.

  She pushed open the door and entered the office, Gu Ye threw down her bag, half leaning on the office desk, with both hands bent behind her back, propping herself up on the table. The light gray dress in front of her looked even more slender, looking at Xiao Qian, she tilted her head and said, "Is it Qi Zhiguo? I remember he only did some unconventional business, with limited funds domestically, just buying some real estate and stocks. Do you think the offshore company is related to him?"

  Xiao Qian's deep eyes stared at Gu Yu, gazing at her pure white face, the four words "public and private are distinct" circling in his mind.

  He thought, forget it, he wouldn't bother with this kind of woman, and even more so couldn't let this heartless and ruthless woman delay his official business.

  His narrow eyes slowly regained their indifference, the sunlight shining on his large leather shoes made people feel uncomfortable, he moved a bit to the side and sat down on the black leather sofa next to her with a plop.

  He leaned back, propping his feet up, and looked at Gu Yai, "That's right, many offshore companies have gone through him, although there is no clear evidence, but he has made a lot of money from this, it's true. Especially the Bermudian offshore company, almost all of them are related to him. I think asking for his help to check who set up this company might be helpful in clearing your name." His eyes flowed with ink-like color, and there were extremely faint smile lines at the corners of his eyes. His fingers moved lazily on the armrest of the sofa, as if tracing the patterns on it, but his tone was extremely light and smooth, "Of course, this is also under the premise that you didn't set up that offshore company yourself."

  Her eyes flickered slightly, a hint of bitterness flashing at the bottom, but then a gentle smile emerged, extremely faint and subtle, lingering around her eyes, perfectly accentuating her relaxed expression. With a hint of sarcasm and mockery in her voice, she said softly, "Don't worry, I'm not as deep as Miss Lu, I can still recognize Mr. Qi as a big shot."

  Xiao Qian heard the name Lu Qinghuan, and the playful glint in his eyes was replaced by anger. His sharp gaze swept over her sensual and slender figure, and he said sternly, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm asking Qinghuan to help you out? Speak clearly."

  Gu Yu widened her innocent eyes and looked at him with unparalleled clarity, "What's wrong, can't I praise Miss Lu for being highly skilled?"

  "You..." Looking at Gu Yai's innocent expression, which was so genuine that it made one unable to bear scolding her again. Xiao Qian clenched his jaw tightly, but didn't say a word.

  "Am I expressing myself incorrectly? I'm saying... thank you, Miss Lu, for your help. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know this Qi Zhi Guo. What are you suspecting me of? Suspecting that I also got an offshore company from Qi Zhi Guo? Suspecting that I'm actually transferring funds? Then you'll be disappointed. You can check all my travel records. During the months when this company was founded, I was busy negotiating with CEO Xiao about the investment case for that cosmetics company. We were together almost every day back then, and there was no chance to set up an offshore company."

  Xiao Qian's eyes sank as he looked at her for a moment before sitting back down. "What, you're explaining so much, are you feeling guilty?"

  Gu Yu said, "It's really strange, I don't explain and you say I'm taking it for granted, I explain and you say I'm being defensive."

  "What's wrong, Gu Yan? You were the one who brought up Qing Huan first."

  "Hey, Xiao Zong, do you want me to retrieve the surveillance footage? You were the one who suspected me first."

  "Can't I make a joke?"

  "Then I'll also tease Miss Lu a bit, won't I?"

  "Is she someone you can just take out and joke about? Gu Yu, this isn't joking, this is clearly humiliating."

  "Hah, Xiao Qian, you suspect me, isn't it humiliating for me?"

  "You..."

  Xiao Qian thought he had already stabilized his mind before coming and was prepared for her sarcasm.

  After all... it's true that he smashed her car first and made her unhappy, so she gave him a few days of cold shoulder which is normal.

  However, when he really faced this unreasonable woman, Xiao Qian only felt that his inner self was not strong enough in front of her.

  Xiao Qian was stifled for a long time, finally becoming angry and embarrassed. "Gu Yu, I know you're sharp-tongued and quick-witted, I can't argue with you. But listen clearly to me, this time at the banquet, if you want to go, just quietly follow behind me, otherwise don't go!"

  Gu Yu raised her head, proudly raising her beautiful eyes, "If I don't go, then I won't go. You can take your Lu Xiang with you and slowly show off your love, it's fine if I don't go."

  "You..."

  Xiao Qian's liver hurt so much that his eyes almost popped out as he stared at Gu Yu's arrogant face.

  Gu Yan was indeed formidable, she could always easily provoke the most explosive side of his inner self.

  He stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Yu, finally nodding, "Alright...alright, you don't go then! Gu Yu, don't regret it later. When the time comes and you're crying and kneeling in front of me, I won't even give you a glance."

  Xiao Qian said, got up and pulled open the door, his footsteps went out in an instant, and the door also closed with a loud bang.

  Gu Yan looked at the trembling door he had slammed shut and stood there...

  There is some regret...

  Perhaps she shouldn't be so arrogant, but it's just Lu Qinghuan after all.

  But... it's precisely Lu Qinghuan, as if she were his Achilles' heel. Just a slight touch and he would be in so much pain that he'd lose all rationality.

  Lu Qinghuan was the painful trigeminal nerve, always coming out to refresh her sense of existence, but each time, it only made her ache in secret, and there was no cure.

  Xiao Qian left like a gust of wind. The people outside seemed to have already gotten used to it, looking at each other curiously and wondering what they were fighting about this time.

  Then, Gu Yu walked out of the office again, looking outside with a gloomy gaze, as if thinking about something.

  She stood in front of her private office, leaning against the soundproof glass wall, biting her lower lip slightly.

  Regret is regret, but... letting her go back and beg Xiao Qian again was impossible.

  Xiao Qian has Xiao Qian's pride and self-respect, she is the same.

  In fact, sometimes her self-esteem is even stronger.

  She had been used to being the best since she was a child, and every time she took an exam, she would aim for first place. If she ever came in second, no matter what it took, even if it meant losing sleep and forgetting to eat, she would have to get back to first place next time. Gu Yu knew that sometimes she could be scarily stubborn, but at the same time, there was no cure for this habit of hers.

  Xiao Qian

  One day, he flipped through the data of various stations, wanting to retrieve his thoughts from Gu Yu, but with little success.

  It's all up to you, if you don't want to go then just don't go.

  It's okay if it doesn't happen, after all, this matter doesn't necessarily have a clear possibility, and it's not necessarily possible to find a breakthrough.

  But there's no one as stubborn as her!

  Lu Qinghuan quickly called him and asked about the dinner party.

  Xiao Qian's voice was low and muffled, faintly responding, "I'll go over."

  "But it's said that not everyone can go, your invitation card..."

  "I can still get an invitation card for one or two people, don't worry." Xiao Qian thought for a moment and said, "But you've also been invited?"

  "Yes." Lu Qinghuan said, "Maybe we can meet together at that time."

  Xiao Qian switched hands to hold the phone, his voice was lukewarm, "Is that so..."

  Xiao Qian thought silently, if the invitation card was hard to get, then why could Lu Qinghuan go?

  It seems that in Zhi's eyes, Lu Qinghuan is not simple. By the way, today may continue with 10,000 words.
