"Hello, Chief Gu. Welcome to our Carlyle Corporation's Christmas party." The man was Kevin, and he extended his hand respectfully to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi hung up and turned to look at him. She nodded calmly. "Hello, I have something to do. Excuse me."
She had no intention of chatting with him.
Kevin wasn't angry. He smiled. "Are you familiar with Miss Guo?"
Gu Nianzhi paused. "Not really, just acquaintances."
"… Then we'll have to get to know each other in the future." Kevin spoke one sentence after another. His attitude was much more cautious than when he talked to Guo Huining.
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at him. "May I ask your name? Do I know you? "
They had been talking for so long, but he hadn't even introduced himself. Was she familiar with him?
Gu Nianzhi pretended not to see the badge on Kevin's chest.
Kevin raised a brow. "Chief Gu doesn't know me?"
"Why would I know you?" Gu Nianzhi was annoyed by this kind of meaningless conversation. However, having been in the Senate for so long, she understood that small talk was inevitable.
Talking was unavoidable. It was a way to get closer to each other. s3();
"Oh, my bad. Let me introduce myself. I'm the COO of the Carlyle Corporation. My name is Kevin." He winked at Gu Nianzhi and pointed to his badge. "I'm here to inspect the work of the Carlyle Huaxia branch. I didn't expect to speak to Chief Gu. It's my honor."
Gu Nianzhi looked Kevin up and down. "You're welcome. Your company's Christmas party is very interesting."
"Really? I was worried Chief Gu would find it boring! "Kevin pretended not to hear the teasing in Gu Nianzhi's tone.
Gu Nianzhi had gone to the French windows alone to make a call.
Her two assistants and security guards were scattered around. They could see her but wouldn't disturb her privacy.
Kevin was able to get past these people to Gu Nianzhi's side because of his badge.
He stood not too far from Gu Nianzhi and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I've heard a lot about Chief Gu when I was in the United States. But at that time, I thought Chief Gu would show off her skills in the law firm. I didn't expect you to enter the Senate after graduation."
"Oh? How do you know me? "
A waiter walked over with a tray. There were cocktails and snacks on the tray for the guests to enjoy.
Gu Nianzhi casually took a cocktail, not to drink it, but to put on an act. That way, she wouldn't look too out of place like everyone else.
Kevin also took a glass and raised it to Gu Nianzhi. He took a sip first and said, "Let's go to the garden in the back and talk?"
"Is there something?" Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "I'm here to attend the Christmas party, not to participate in business negotiations."
"That's a pity. I wanted to talk to you about the legislation on foreign investment access in the financial industry," Kevin said, pretending to be regretful. "Don't you want to hear our opinion?"
"It's best if you discuss this with Speaker Long. I'm just a legal advisor, not even a senator. I can't help you much." At that moment, Gu Nianzhi felt that someone was sizing her up. The gaze was neither light nor heavy, but it carried a sense of inquiry. However, when she looked up slightly, the gaze shifted away.
Gu Nianzhi looked down and thought about it. She strolled in the direction of the garden Kevin had indicated.
It was exactly what Kevin wanted. He smiled and walked quickly to keep up with her.
Gu Nianzhi's assistant and security guards quickly followed and walked in the direction of the garden Kevin had indicated.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi's assistant and security guards caught up to them. They walked not too far from them.
…
Guo Huining stood next to Huo Guanchen. She bit her lip and looked at him. Then she looked in the direction Gu Nianzhi and Kevin had disappeared. She smiled and said, "Guanchen, should we go to the garden in the back? I haven't been to the Sheraton Hotel often, but I've heard that the garden is very exquisite. It's all tropical rainforest style. I heard it's very similar to the natural landscape in Florida. "
She was actually very uncomfortable. She didn't want to be with Gu Nianzhi.
Huo Guanchen had spoken up for her just now, which gave her endless hope.
But in the blink of an eye, Huo Guanchen's attention was no longer on her. Although he was still standing next to her, she could see that his heart had already flown to Gu Nianzhi …
She really didn't know what was so good about this woman. Everyone was so infatuated with her.
But although she was uncomfortable, Guo Huining knew how to make a man feel good.
That was to figure out what they were thinking and then speak and act according to their wishes.
Since she could see that Huo Guanchen's heart was on Gu Nianzhi's side, she brought it up at the right time.
Huo Guanchen actually said he only had 20 minutes. But it had already been almost 20 minutes, and he had no intention of leaving.
Guo Huining was even more upset.
Huo Guanchen had just watched Gu Nianzhi and Kevin's backs disappear in the direction of the left back door of the lobby. He put the wine glass on the table unhappily and said, "Then let's go take a look."
Guo Huining suppressed her curiosity and finally stopped herself from asking, "… You're not going back for the meeting?"
If Huo Guanchen hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have made him feel awkward.
The two of them walked through the left back door of the lobby and discovered that it was actually a T-shaped corridor with a fork. s3();
He happened to see Gu Nianzhi and Kevin's backs turn left.
Huo Guanchen quickly followed.
Guo Huining was about to follow when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her handbag.
Her heart skipped a beat and she stopped in her tracks to take a look at her phone.
It was Deputy Director Jia who had sent her a photo and a text message: [Forwarded to Song].
Guo Huining hurriedly clicked open the photo and took a look. Her pupils suddenly widened.
In the photo, Gu Nianzhi was tiptoeing and kissing a man's back!
The man's head was lowered and his face couldn't be seen clearly, but it looked like it was Kevin!
Although Gu Nianzhi was tall, she was like a little bird in front of the man. It was surprisingly harmonious.
Guo Huining couldn't help secretly feeling that Gu Nianzhi didn't seem like such a casual person, but she also admired Kevin's ability. This was only their first meeting, right? How did Gu Nianzhi take the bait?
She pouted. Who cared if the photo was real or fake, as long as it could annoy those people.
She casually forwarded it to Song Jinning.
Song Jinning had just come out of the lab.
Today's experiment results were good, but it was still different from what they had expected.
Song Jinning planned to go back to the office and carefully calculate it, then refer to Gu Xiangwen's experiment notes to see if she could quantify it.
Just then, she heard her phone ring.
It was so late. Lu Yuan was usually the one calling her, delivering supper, or picking her up. She was already used to it.
However, when she took out her phone and took a look, she realized that she had made a mistake.
It wasn't a call or text from Lu Yuan, but a photo from Guo Huining.
The corners of Song Jinning's mouth twitched. She thought to herself that Huo Guanchen really had a good relationship with Guo Huining. He could even tell Guo Huining her phone number.
Song Jinning's eyes widened in surprise when she clicked on the photo.
What was going on?!
This was Nianzhi, wasn't it?!
Looking at the graceful curve of her back, she knew that she hadn't mistaken her for someone else.
Her fingers rubbed her phone a few times. She subconsciously wanted to forward it to Huo Shaoheng, but she quickly held back.
Whether this kind of thing was real or not, it would annoy Nianzhi and Shaoheng. She couldn't let Guo Huining succeed.
After thinking for a moment, Song Jinning replied to Guo Huining: [What is this place? Are you seeing things? Or are you secretly taking pictures of someone else?]
