Dead but not stiff

Chen Nali rushed to the door of Shen Bai's office in a hurry, pushed the door open like a rainbow, but after closing the door, she became timid for a second, ran to Shen Bai with a mournful face, and said gloomyly: "Dad, next week's charity dinner in C City, Why am I going?"

Shen Bai didn't even raise his eyelids, and said as a matter of course, "Who will you go to if you don't go to your project?"

"Wow, you don't care about killing or burying Dad, I'm a small person, what's the use of going? Can Huang Huaisheng pay me?"

"That Boss Tang will naturally introduce you, so you should be smart when the time comes. But on that occasion, I didn't intend to talk about anything, at best, I just wanted to get acquainted."

Chen Nali heard that there was something in his words, and immediately asked: "So you have a plan?"

"Let's see." Shen Bai leaned against the back of the chair and raised his head, calmly said: "Huang's taking down Boss Wang's company is probably just an appetizer, S City is only this big, and there are still many opportunities to deal with in the future. "

"Tsk, the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, do you really think we are easy to bully?" Shen Bai's calm attitude gave Chen Nali the confidence to follow, so she unconsciously sat on the table with her hips raised, her legs crossed After shaking, the fox pretended to be the tiger and said: "At that time, it will be natural for them to know who is the father, right?"

Shen Bai nodded, unexpectedly he didn't taunt or refute, and even turned a blind eye to Chen Nali's usual posture of getting into the pit.Chen Nali was a little surprised, she tilted her head to look at his face, and asked thoughtfully, "Didn't you rest well recently?"

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"Uh..." Chen Nali said seriously, "Yu Guaner's complexion is not good these days, maybe it's a heart disease, and he needs heart medicine."

Shen Bai looked at her expressionlessly, pointing at the door: "Get lost."

Chen Nali curled her lips, jumped off the table reluctantly, and walked out slowly, talking to herself as if there was no one around: "This time I go to City C, maybe I can meet Gu Gong again, and then invite him to have dinner The meal is ready. Anyway, we are both single now, with my charm, what if I can straighten him, not bad, there is still a dream, what if it comes true?"

Shen Bai behind him slapped the table and roared angrily: "Hurry up."

Three days later, at six o'clock in the morning, Chen Nali yawned in a certain VIP waiting room at the S city airport, and turned to look at Shen Bai who was looking down at the financial morning newspaper beside her, her resentment almost broke through the ceiling of the airport , "Didn't you agree that I would go alone? Heh, man, your essence is a lie."

Shen Bai shook the newspaper, without raising his head, he said: "I was invited, you are just passing along. So please distinguish between priorities, and go back if you talk nonsense."

Chen Nali: I'm so fucking aggrieved.

"But isn't the banquet at night? Why do we get up so early to catch the plane? Catch the plane meal?"

"Someone invited me to have lunch together at noon."

Chen Nali immediately wentssiped, and asked happily, "Who is who?"

Shen Bai gave her a meaningful look, "You will know when you go, I promise you won't be disappointed."

Chen Nali's heart flashed a series of Yooooooooooo in an instant, and she suddenly fell asleep and lost her energy. She was full of expectations for this trip to explore the unknown world.

Gu Xien walked out of the gate of his residential complex, and there was a long-awaited Mercedes-Benz car parked on the side of the road not far away. As soon as his figure appeared, the car whistle blew twice, and then the car whistled slowly with double flashes. Drive up to him.

The people in the car rolled down the window and greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Gu."

Gu Xian smiled politely, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, Madam is eager to see her son. She called me early in the morning and is waiting at the hotel now."

Gu Xien hummed lightly, without saying anything, opened the car door and sat in.

While starting the car, Uncle Li continued: "Ma'am, I haven't had breakfast yet, I'm just waiting for you to get together. They say that mother and child are connected. Madam has always missed you all these years."

Gu Xian in the back seat glanced at him silently, with a mocking smile on his lips, but he still didn't say a word.

Uncle Li failed to act as a lobbyist, so he didn't say any more, and just drove silently all the way to the destination.

Gu Xien followed Uncle Li and took the elevator to the presidential suite on the top floor. Uncle Li stood at the door and knocked twice, and the door opened in response. Jiang Jie stood behind the door and looked at Gu Xien deeply over Uncle Li. Shine through the water.

"Here we come." She said softly, the corners of her mouth seemed to want to smile, but she couldn't control her emotions, she hurriedly looked away, turned sideways and said, "Come in first."

Gu Xien walked in silently, and stood still in front of the sofa in the living room next to the huge French window. Jiang Jie reached out and touched his shoulder, and said softly, "Sit down, you don't have to be polite when you get to Mom."

Uncle Li stood outside the door, smiled and said to the mother and son, "Ma'am, when your mother and son meet, I will take my leave first if outsiders don't want to disturb you."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Jie nodded at him, and Uncle Li smiled and reached out to close the door.

Jiang Jie sat down next to Gu Xien, she didn't know what to say for a while, she paused, and then hurriedly asked him: "Do you want some water?"

Gu Xien shook his head, Jiang Jie stared at him for two seconds, sighed, and reached out to caress his face, "You are thinner than last time I saw you."

"Your last time, did you mean three years ago?" Gu Xien looked at her with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold.

Jiang Jie withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, stared at him blankly for a moment, and said slowly: "You should talk to me with this attitude, it's what mother owes you, you can't do anything too much."

Gu Xien's lips moved, and the phrase "Can I go now" approached his lips, but he swallowed it back abruptly.He looked away, stared at something in the air, and said nothing.

The mother and son who were supposed to have the closest relationship in the world, but in the long river of time, were cramped and peeled off all the affection in the blood, leaving only a layer of skin to implicate each other, barely maintaining such an embarrassing exchange between you and me.

There were two knocks at the door, Jiang Jie responded, the door was swiped open from the outside, Huang Huaisheng in sportswear pushed the door in, followed by the waiter of the hotel restaurant, pushing a food delivery truck in his hand .

Huang Huaisheng walked in, saw Gu Xien beside Jiang Jie at a glance, waved at him and smiled and said, "Xiao En is here." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Jie, and said with a natural and affectionate expression: "I called for breakfast, you and Xiao En eats first, I'm going to take a bath."

Jiang Jie nodded and asked, "Where is Jingzhi?"

"I'm still running, and I say it's to keep my body in shape for the new album. I really care about it."

"Whatever he likes to do, let him do."

"Knowing that you dote on your son, I dare not say anything."

The two sat and stood, chatting in a familiar way, Gu Xien looked at them quietly, feeling that he was completely out of place in this room.

The waiter put the meals on the table one by one, Jiang Jie got up and greeted Gu Xien: "Come and have breakfast."

Huang Huaisheng walked in and passed the dining table, and said to Gu Xien with a pleasant face: "Uncle doesn't know if you are used to Chinese or Western breakfast, so he simply asked them to bring it over. You can eat first with your mother."

Even though he has no appetite at the moment, Gu Xien has never been the kind of character who would spoil the atmosphere by being flattering. He reluctantly smiled at Huang Huaisheng, walked over and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Sitting opposite him, Jiang Jie first poured a glass of milk and pushed it to him. Gu Xien slowly raised his eyes from the glass of milk, looked at Jiang Jie, and said lightly: "I have passed the age when I need to drink milk to grow my body gone."

Jiang Jie choked for a moment, and looked a little embarrassed, "Then what do you want to drink? Coffee, or juice?"

Gu Xien reached out to take the milk, put it to his mouth and tasted it, looked at Jiang Jie and said, "This is fine, thank you mom."

Jiang Jie was caught off guard by the mother's call, her eyes were wet, she avoided her eyes, looked at the rich and satisfying meal on the table, and said in a flustered and excited tone: "Hurry up, it won't be good for your stomach if it gets cold later." .”

After that, there was nothing to say for a while, the mother and daughter ate quietly, the heating in the room was turned on, the warm yellow light was on above the dining table, and the only sound in the air could be the crisp sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

Halfway through the meal, the door lock beeped twice and someone swiped it open from the outside. Before the person arrived, a clear voice came in from the door, shouting: "Wow, it smells so good."

Gu Xien put down his porridge spoon and raised his head. Huang Jingzhi stood at the door and looked over with a smile on his face. When he saw his face clearly, his expression was suddenly taken aback, but he covered it up after a while. He said hello to Jiang Jie, then turned to Gu Xien, with a bright smile in his eyes, and said briskly, "Hi, my name is Huang Jingzhi."

Gu Xien showed him an extremely brief smile, and replied in a flat and concise tone: "Gu Xien".

Huang Jingzhi looked at him with interest, looked at him carefully for a few seconds, and then said again: "Sure enough, you look more like my mother, um, you are really pretty."

"You kid," Jiang Jie stood up and patted his arm, feigning anger, "You're sweating all over, go take a shower first."

"Just go, I can't smell my fairy mother."

Huang Jingzhi reached out to the dining table to grab a piece of bread, turned around and walked out, while waving his hand above his head, "Then I'll go back to my room to take a shower first, don't miss me too much."

When the door was taken by Huang Jingzhi from the outside, Jiang Jie sat down again, and slowly explained to Gu Xien: "He is the child of your Uncle Huang and me, and he is about six years younger than you." She paused, as if she wanted to show her intimacy , and said: "When I gave birth to Jingzhi, Xiaoen, you should still be in kindergarten, right?"

Gu Xien lowered his eyes, stared at the seafood porridge in the bowl, picked up the spoon to stir it, and hummed lightly.

While talking, Huang Huaisheng came out from the bedroom fully dressed, walked to the dining table and sat down next to Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie handed him a bowl of porridge, he took it, smiled and said to Gu Xien: "I have seen Is it clean?"

"I've seen it." Jiang Jie answered for him, and then asked Huang Huaisheng: "How is the arrangement at Lao Li's side?"

"I have an appointment with someone." Huang Huaisheng took a sip of porridge and asked in a natural tone: "Do you want to go there together?"

"I won't show my face for your business matters. It happens that Jing Zhi is free in the morning. Our mother and I are walking around. You can take Xiaoen with you."

Hearing this, Gu Xien put down his spoon and looked at Jiang Jie, and said in a serious tone: "Actually, I don't—"

Jiang Jie gave him a sharp look, and Gu Xien was abruptly blocked by such a look in the middle of what he said. Huang Huaisheng lowered his head and continued to drink porridge, as if he didn't notice the strangeness between the two of them.

Chen Nali followed behind Shen Bai, and was led by the waitress to the direction of the box, secretly wondering who the hell was going to ask Shen Bai to have lunch in C City.

The door of the box was pushed open, and behind the large round table inside was a hale and hearty middle-aged man. When he saw two people coming in, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen is long in coming."

"I'm sorry," Shen Bai said shamelessly, "the road was blocked for a while, and I kept Li Lao waiting for a long time."

"No, no," the other party laughed, "It's just a joke, Mr. Shen, don't take it seriously. You came all the way from S City for the banquet. If I didn't wait earlier, wouldn't it be too insincere?"

Chen Nali stared dumbfounded at the middle-aged man in front of her, her brain froze for a moment, and she hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.

Shen Bai gave her a dangerous look, she regained her senses instantly, cleared her throat, and greeted people in a gracious manner: "Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Chen Nali, I have asked you out several times in S city before, and this is your itinerary It's too full, and I haven't given a chance to see each other."

Uncle Li suddenly realized, pointed at Chen Nali and said, "It's you, I said why there was always a small card at the door of the room in those few days, and I was so angry that I almost went to complain to the hotel."

Shen Bai glanced at her meaningfully, Chen Nali laughed dryly, lowered her head and looked at her nose, nose and heart, closed her mouth and stopped talking.

After the two of them were seated, Shen Bai took the hot tea from the waiter, and said casually: "Did Mr. Li accompany Huang Dong to City C this time?"

Uncle Li laughed loudly and said, "Boss Shen really knows everything."

Shen Bai and Chen Nali exchanged glances, Chen Nali smiled and got up and took the teacup in front of Uncle Li, filled it up, put it in front of him with both hands, and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. Li, the company you acquired in S City is Are you going to take over directly from you?"

Uncle Li shook his head and said lightly, "I'm only in charge of the acquisition in the early stage. How to arrange the follow-up depends on the boss's wishes."

"Oh," Chen Nali asked curiously, "Then what do you think Huang Dong thinks?"

But Uncle Li suddenly smiled, turned to Shen Bai and said, "If Mr. Shen really wants to know, why not ask our boss directly."

Shen Bai was a little shocked, he thought it was just a dinner set up by Li Lao, but he didn't expect that it was Huang Huaisheng himself.

Catching Shen Bai's expression, Uncle Li began to lower his attitude, and said sincerely: "Actually, the fact that our Director Huang is hosting President Shen this time is also related to the newcomer who is about to take over the company in S City."

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, and said clearly: "It seems that Huang Dong should value this newcomer very much."

Uncle Li nodded, and said earnestly: "Our new little boss is young and inexperienced. In the future, we need Mr. Shen to take care of us for business matters, mutual benefit and win-win."

Shen Bai kept responding: "It's easy to say, easy to say." But he was thinking about the old fox's calculation in his heart, if it was true as he said, it would be much cheaper to do business cooperation in the future.

Chen Nali's heart suddenly became clear. The cooperation project is a sure thing. The Huang family has sold such a big deal. The co-author is cultivating new ideas for Huang Huaisheng. She looked at Shen Bai happily, and the two exchanged again After a glance, they silently reached a consensus in their hearts.

After a while, there was a sound at the door, Uncle Li stood up with a smile and said, "It seems that we have arrived."

The door of the box was slowly pushed open, Huang Huaisheng, the chairman of Huang's Real Estate, was ushered in by the waiter. Behind him, a young man with good looks and temperament walked in slowly with his head slightly lowered.

Uncle Li greeted them respectfully, and said to the two with a smile, "Dong Huang, Mr. Gu, this way please."

Chen Nali's brain was in a trance for a moment, and then she slowly saw the face of the person behind Huang Huaisheng clearly, then her eyes widened, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at Shen Bai's expression, and then quickly brushed a line of words in her mind: The landscapes of the world meet each other.

In addition, I also thought about it by the way, does this count as achieving the goal of eating with Gu Gong?

No, it should be Mr. Gu now.

Thinking of this, Chen Nali, the melon eater, suddenly felt that the plot was extremely exciting.

Shen Bai's sudden change of expression was quickly covered up by him, he took the initiative to walk forward and shook hands with Huang Huaisheng calmly, then looked at Gu Xien who was behind him with a slightly pale face, and said slowly and intently: "This young talent, it seems Is it Mr. Gu?"

"That's right." Huang Huaisheng turned his body sideways, and said to Gu Xi'en with a pleasant face: "Xiao En, this is Mr. Shen, who has a brilliant record in the real estate industry in City S. If you want to gain a firm foothold in City S, you have to come and say goodbye first." This great god."

Gu Xi'en never expected that the person Huang Huaisheng brought him to meet would be Shen Bai. Being caught by surprise, he staggered his eyes in a panic, but caught off guard and looked at that person again, looking into his own eyes , revealing scrutiny and questioning, even with a bit of indifference.

However, after being hit by such eyes, Gu Xien unexpectedly calmed down.

He collected himself, then smiled and stretched out his hand to Shen Bai, and said calmly: "Hello, please give me more advice in the future."

Shen Bai stared at him for two seconds, stretched out his hand to hold it, tightened the strength of his palm viciously, and said with a kind smile: "Mr. Gu, don't worry, Shen will definitely live up to expectations."

Dumbfounded, Chen Nali: Evil fate, evil fate, exciting.
