Xu Jing stared at Bai Lan closely, as if she wanted to see something from her face.

However, her expression was calm and calm, and there was still a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xu Jing's heart softened, she looked down at the bracelet, and said nothing.

Forget it, since it's the last, it seems pointless to care about so much.

After thinking about it, she moved her lips slowly, "Thank you."

Bai Lan was startled, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly.

The news of Xu Jing's resignation was like a blockbuster, blowing up Hengze's deep water.

Many department managers came to the door and asked Xu Jing for verification.

After learning that all of this is the truth, everyone's expressions became uglier and the atmosphere in the company became extremely gloomy.

Xu Jing is also a little bit reluctant, after all, they used to be partners who fought side by side.

Fortunately, Zhao Simeng asked her to eat hot pot together, and Xu Jing's mood eased a little.

As soon as she entered the private room, Xu Jing found that Gu Ziqi was full of smiles, which was very different from the past.

The other party also noticed her gaze and smiled harder at her.

A chill suddenly rose in Xu Jing's heart, and she couldn't help turning her face away.

As soon as she and Qin Ming sat down, they heard Gu Ziqi's voice.

"Have you noticed anything different about me today?"

The two raised their eyes at the same time, and Gu Ziqi immediately sat up straight and brushed the bangs between his foreheads.

He thought about it, but felt that it wasn't enough. He held his chin lightly and made a posture of contemplation.

Xu Jing frowned, and asked tentatively, "Could it be more greasy?"

"More contrived."

Qin Ming slowly pursed his lips and added his own opinion.

Gu Ziqi's handsome face quickly collapsed, and he couldn't help but cast a blank look at the two of them.

"You two are really good couples!"

He paused, then pointed to his face again, "Don't you think I'm very handsome today?"

"I don't think so." Qin Ming quickly answered, his expression as indifferent as ever.

Xu Jing smiled awkwardly, "It's a little more handsome than usual."

There's no way, for Zhao Simeng's sake, I still have to give some face.

Gu Ziqi automatically ignored Qin Ming and turned to look at Xu Jing.

"Tell you, my identity is different now."

Xu Jing smiled, "Why is it different?"

"Call me Brother Gu, and I'll tell you."

As he spoke, he raised his chin, his tone full of complacency.

Qin Ming's handsome face turned cold in an instant, and the eyes he looked at Gu Ziqi were also a bit chilly.

Gu Ziqi didn't notice the danger at all, instead he yelled at Xu Jing without fear of death.

"Let me tell you, this big brother is definitely worth it. After you finish calling, you can basically walk sideways in the future."

Zhao Simeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he rolled up his sleeves and raised his fist towards him.

"If you keep talking nonsense, my sister will let you walk here on your knees!"

The corner of Gu Ziqi's mouth twitched, and he quickly turned to Zhao Simeng, saying pitifully, "Don't be like this, just show me some face outside."

Zhao Simeng glared at him, and at the same time pushed up his sleeves.

Gu Ziqi immediately changed his face and said hastily, "I say, I say!"

Zhao Simeng snorted coldly, and slowly put down his sleeves.

Xu Jing suddenly felt that everything in this world is really one thing.

Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to suffer.

Lao Zhao was worried all day long that his daughter would be bullied in the future, which was completely unnecessary.

Gu Ziqi cleared his throat, and said solemnly, "Tonight, I want to announce a good news to everyone."

Xu Jing smiled lightly, "What? Are you going to get married?"

Zhao Simeng's face turned red, and she said shyly, "Jingjing, stop making trouble, we are still too early to get married!"

Gu Ziqi's handsome face rarely turned red, and he rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly.

"That's right, we don't want to get married just yet."

The smile on the corner of Zhao Simeng's mouth stopped suddenly, and the way he looked at him also changed.

Gu Ziqi didn't notice at all, but just coughed lightly with his fist on his lips, and said seriously, "I'm back at Gu's house."

Xu Jing was taken aback, "Mr. Gu picked you up?"

"how is this possible?"

Gu Ziqi waved his hand, "Of course I went back by myself."

Xu Jing's heart sank slowly, and her heart was full of worry.

Mr. Gu doesn't want to see Zhao Simeng. Gu Ziqi chose to go back to Gu's house. Does it mean that he may give up Simeng in the future?

So is it a happy event for him to return to the Gu family?

Just as she was thinking to herself, Gu Ziqi added unhurriedly, "As the head of the Gu family."

Xu Jing raised her head quickly, her eyes full of surprise.

Qin Ming's expression did not change, his thin lips curled up in a subtle arc, as if he had expected this long ago.

"Come on, hurry up and praise me! I am willing to accept all compliments!"

Gu Ziqi opened his arms and closed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying himself.

Seeing the appearance of the criminal, Xu Jing couldn't help but move closer to Qin Ming and asked in a low voice, "Is there no one in the Gu family?"

Otherwise, why would Mr. Gu be willing to choose him as the head of the family?

What's more, Gu Ziqi doesn't seem to be very scheming.

Qin Ming pinched the tip of her nose lightly, and smiled, "You can't just take things on the surface."

Xu Jing was startled, then turned her gaze back to Gu Ziqi.

She looked at the other party carefully, recalling all the things he had done, her brows became tighter and tighter.

"how did you do it?"

Gu Ziqi chuckled, "That's a long story."

He paused, and said slowly, "The people of the Gu family have never paid attention to me, so they don't care what I do. So, a few years ago, I started to infiltrate my power to the group, while slowly annexing other important industries."

He didn't say anything about the latter.

However, Xu Jing also probably understood.

After several years of planning, Gu Ziqi's power has become deeply entrenched.

On weekdays, he has been hiding this power and deceiving his opponents with false appearances.

However, after he left the Gu family, this force began to surface, gradually revealing its fangs.

Immediately afterwards, various key industries of the Gu family fell, which also brought a lot of psychological pressure on Mr. Gu.

So, in desperation, he could only choose Gu Ziqi.

After all, the family property is still in the hands of the family anyway.

However, if Gu Ziqi and the Gu family turned against each other and turned around to take refuge with other families with their assets and contacts, then the Gu family would be greatly damaged.

After much deliberation, Mr. Gu still chose to protect the interests of the family.

Xu Jing did not expect that Gu Ziqi would plan for this for several years.

In her perception, he doesn't seem to care about many things, and he is extremely tolerant towards Zhao Simeng.

From this point of view, it is true that people cannot be judged by appearances, and sea water cannot be measured.
