The scale of the Gu clan's bidding this time was quite large. There were more than a dozen companies, big and small, and there was still some time before the bidding began.
The companies that came later were usually more arrogant. For example, Xiao Chuyun, who was the last to arrive.
Unlike other companies who were fully armed, Xiao Chuyun looked very relaxed. He only brought his assistant with him. When he sat directly opposite Jiang Yansheng, he even winked at her.
Jiang Yansheng suddenly felt confused.
She glanced at the door guiltily, for fear that Gu Yan's livid face would appear in the next second.
Thinking of Gu Ran, she immediately despised herself for dilly-dallying. The corners of her mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile. Hadn't she clearly seen how intimately Gu Ran and Gu Yiyi were hugging each other just now?
"Oh my god, isn't that Xiao Chuyun?" Seeing Xiao Chuyun was like seeing a new continent. Second Uncle shouted as if he had never seen the world. He slapped his thigh anxiously and said, "What should we do? Cloud Entertainment doesn't have much, but it has a lot of money."
His voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet space. As soon as he spoke, several companies sitting around him suddenly glanced at him with contempt, as if they were laughing at him for not even knowing which companies would come before the bidding.
Second Uncle scratched his head and realized that he had embarrassed himself. He immediately looked at Jiang Yansheng for help, hoping that she could answer him.
Jiang Yansheng turned to look at him and said calmly, "I told Second Uncle a long time ago that we should have considered other companies in the budget back then. It's not a big deal to bump into them now. We can only blame the budget back then for not being thorough."
"Yansheng, what do you mean?" Second Uncle, who was already anxious, was so scared by Jiang Yansheng's words that his face turned pale. "We won't fail this time, right?"
What he was worried about now was not what Jiang Chu would say when he returned to the company if the bidding was unsuccessful, but the shares he had reluctantly sold to Jiang Yansheng.
Jiang Yansheng smiled at him. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Second Uncle was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. He couldn't raise his voice because of the people around him. After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Jiang Yansheng with a gloomy face. "How can I not be anxious?"
Second Uncle seemed to have made a start. The person in charge of Gu clan hadn't arrived yet. There was still half an hour before the bidding began, so all the representatives present began to talk casually.
"Look at the time. Why hasn't the company you asked about sent anyone here?"
"I also think it's strange. It's impossible that they won't come. Look at the empty seats over there. They are for them, but why haven't they come yet? Even the CEO of Cloud Entertainment has come in person. If the Gu Corporation sees this, they will definitely have to weigh the pros and cons … "
If Gu clan sees this, they must have thought … "
Jiang Yansheng looked over and saw that all the seats were empty. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Xiao Chuyun.
Xiao Chuyun stretched out his hand and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. The frames refracted cold light under the cold ceiling light.
His lips curled up into a beautiful arc.
When he looked at Jiang Yansheng, he was like a leopard hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.
Jiang Yansheng felt oppressed and moved her gaze away from Xiao Chuyun. The feeling of being stared at didn't dissipate in the slightest. Second Uncle was still nagging beside her ear, so she directly got up and went out.
After entering the bathroom, Jiang Yansheng looked at herself in the mirror for a while. Looking at the face in the mirror, she felt a little strange.
She gently touched her lower abdomen. It was still very flat, and there was nothing unusual at all.
As soon as she went out, Jiang Yansheng saw Xiao Chuyun leaning against the wall waiting for her.
She shook off the water on her hands and raised her eyebrows. "What's wrong? Are you thinking hard at the door of the bathroom?"
He had been sitting at the table so calmly just now. She couldn't see the pain in Xiao Chuyun's eyes at all.
Xiao Chuyun turned to look at her with a smile. "I'm thinking about you."
Jiang Yansheng pursed her lips. She didn't know if it was because she had been suffering for the past few days, but she had become immune to men's sweet words. She directly answered back. "You're thinking about me? Now that you've seen me, let's go home, Mr. Xiao. "
Xiao Chuyun smiled as he walked over to her. He got straight to the point and asked, "Did something happen between you and Gu Ran?"
"No." The smile on Jiang Yansheng's face froze for a moment, but she soon returned to normal. She raised her hand and gently touched the soft hair that fell down her shoulders. "I have nothing to do with Gu Yan, so there won't be any problem."
Xiao Chuyun put one hand on her shoulder and gently pressed it against the wall. He looked down at Jiang Yansheng with a little tenderness. "Guess what I saw when I came to the Gu clan just now?"
He spoke unhurriedly, as if he was whetting Jiang Yansheng's appetite.
Jiang Yansheng sneered. "I said I'm not interested."
"Really?" Xiao Chuyun chuckled and lowered his head. He slowly stopped when he was less than a few centimeters away from the tip of Jiang Yansheng's nose. He looked at Jiang Yansheng's dark eyes and touched his nose in boredom. "Did I choose the wrong way?"
"Of course not."
It was not the wrong way, but the wrong person.
Jiang Yansheng's eyes were curved when he smiled, making it hard to tell if he was being sincere or not. "Mr. Xiao has seen countless people in the past. How could there be a day when you actually began to doubt your own ability?"
She had seen Xiao Chuyun's warm office suite before, so she knew that Xiao Chuyun was indeed a very capable person.
"To be honest, you are really the first woman I've met who is so special."
Xiao Chuyun shrugged a little passively. "I also specifically asked my assistant before. A strong woman like Miss Jiang should like a gentle and weak man."
Jiang Yansheng was not stingy with his mockery of Xiao Chuyun at all. "Your assistant must have watched too many melodramatic dramas, and you don't look like one at all when you pretend to be gentle. It would have been easier if we didn't know each other before."
She looked at Xiao Chuyun sincerely. "I really wanted to laugh when you pinched your nose and spoke hypocritically."
Xiao Chuyun pinched Jiang Yansheng's frozen red nose angrily. "What are you laughing at?"
The man coughed behind him.
Jiang Yansheng looked up and met the man's cold blue eyes at the end of the corridor.
Looking at the man and woman snuggling up against the wall and flirting with each other, Gu Yan couldn't help clenching his fists, and his eyes were full of emotions that Jiang Yansheng couldn't understand.
He couldn't move his feet, as if they weighed a thousand pounds.
Jiang Yansheng didn't want to spend too much time to read Gu Yan's emotions. Looking at Gu Yan standing still in the corridor like a wooden stake, an inexplicable anger rushed to her head.
She looked at Xiao Chuyun's slender eyelashes, and a bold idea appeared in her heart without warning.
The moment the idea appeared, Jiang Yansheng couldn't help but follow him.
She put one arm around Xiao Chuyun's shoulder, and under his surprised and teasing gaze, she couldn't help hugging Xiao Chuyun's neck tighter. From a distance, it looked like a pair of intimate lovers whispering to each other.
"So passionate?" Because Jiang Yansheng had rejected him countless times before, Xiao Chuyun, who was about to convince himself to be friends with Jiang Yansheng, hadn't come to his senses yet.
His hand on Jiang Yansheng's waist was slightly suspended, leaving a distance, and he made a very polite gentleman's hand.
Jiang Yansheng glared at him, lowered his voice, and gritted his teeth. "Shut up."
When her eyes drifted back to the end of the corridor, it was empty, as if the man had never been there.
Her heart suddenly felt empty.
Jiang Yansheng was in a daze for a moment, and then he quickly pushed Xiao Chuyun out.
Xiao Chuyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that Jiang Yansheng's face changed faster than flipping a book, he couldn't help but touch his nose. "What is Miss Jiang doing?"
Jiang Yan Sheng rubbed his forehead tiredly. He curled his lips in a self-mocking manner and said, "Yes."
"What am I doing?"
She had thought that Gu Yan would be jealous when he saw her and Xiao Chuyun acting so intimately.
However, Gu Yan seemed to be very sensible and walked away quickly. He didn't even look at her, let alone be jealous.
…
As Jiang Yansheng had expected, the person in charge sent by the Gu Clan this time was indeed Gu Yan himself.
One by one, the representatives of the companies took turns to explain their plans and ideas. Gu Yan sat in the middle of the last row, with one hand supporting his chin, and looked attentively, as if he was carefully weighing the pros and cons.
His eyes gently swept over everyone present. When it passed by Jiang Yansheng, it was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
Jiang Yansheng looked around and confirmed that the companies that he had talked to Gu Yan in private before were basically absent. As expected, Gu Yan's face darkened.
The next to go on stage was another company that Gu Yan had talked to before. As soon as the representative went on stage, he took out a simple PowerPoint presentation that was full of loopholes. The audience was in an uproar. Although the representative was embarrassed, he still bit the bullet and finished the whole presentation.
"Yansheng." Second Uncle moved closer to Jiang Yansheng's ear and said excitedly, "I think they don't seem to care about the bidding this time. It seems that our chances are quite high."
"Do you think Cloud Entertainment will be the same as these people? They didn't prepare at all."
Jiang Yansheng smiled at him. "How do you know that they really want to come at will?"
If it weren't for Xiao Chuyun's money, this bidding would have been even more bloody than the current battle.
Halfway through the bidding, it was time for a break. As soon as Jiang Yansheng walked out of the conference room, she saw a man walking toward her.
It was Gu Sichu.
The corner of his suit was slightly raised by the wind, with a sharp curve.
The man was casually looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, but when his gaze shifted to Jiang Yansheng, it suddenly condensed into a sharp blade.
Jiang Yansheng felt like a rabbit that was suddenly targeted by a hunter. Alarm bells rang in her heart. She silently lowered her head and kept muttering, "I can't see me, I can't see me."
