Chapter 42 Very Beautiful

Pella said: "Ms. Gu's father's birthday was approaching, so she went to the counter specifically that day to choose. She was very filial."

They had only known each other for less than three days, and when he mentioned Gu Yusheng, he already expressed his fondness for her.

Mainly because of affinity.

And Miss Gu has no airs.

After roughly explaining the cause and effect, the elevator arrived.

After leaving on the fifteenth floor, Xu Jie recalled Pella's words just now and fell into deep thought.

If I remember correctly, it was the hot summer when my husband was invited to attend Director Gu's birthday party in the middle of the year.

what happened.

Twice a year?

There were not many guests at the banquet at that time, and the banquet was kept low-key. Gu Yusheng was ordered by her mother to stay at school and prepare her graduation project, and told her not to make a special trip back for this matter.

There were errors in time and space, so Gu Yusheng lied without a draft, which Zhou Zongyan saw through at a glance.

The gift was quietly placed on the living room table.

She remembered Xu Jie's hint that companionship was the most important thing.

Over the years, he has not celebrated birthdays or received gifts in memory of his mother.

If this taboo is broken by her, it will cause unpleasantness and embarrassment.

So, you can’t act rashly, right?
Zhou Zongyan saw the girl sitting on the sofa in a daze, thinking that she was bored, so he casually offered to accompany him to a charity auction that evening.

"Okay, no problem." Gu Yusheng turned to look at him, her mind wandering too much and naturally, "Do you need me to do anything, such as holding a sign for you."

"Before?"

The girl shook her head: "No, but I don't mind working for Boss Zhou."

Her appeal was clear.

If something I haven't done before feels new, I want to try it again.

Zhou Zongyan looked at her with a half-smile, "The nature of a child."

The girl raised her eyebrows with an expression that said, "You don't care."

There was a hint of endearment in the man's eyes.

She saw clearly.

That fleeting smile was really deep and indulgent.

Unfortunately, only half a second.

After lunch, Pella took the dress to the top floor.

Different from the one yesterday, the champagne-colored one-shoulder dress in front of me has a simple and free hem, and a deep V cutout on the back with tulle treatment. In comparison, this design style that is more casual is more suitable. she.

After packing up, we went downstairs together with Pella.

The elevator goes directly to the underground garage.

The black extended Bentley parked quietly at the corner. The driver opened the back seat door for her. Zhou Zongyan, wearing a well-tailored haute couture suit, sat on his knees. When he saw her coming up, he casually put out the cigarette butts between his fingers in the ashtray.

The cigarette was half-burned, and it seemed that this transoceanic phone call had been going on for a long time.

Listening to Zhou Zongyan's respectful tone when talking to the other party, she guessed that it was most likely Mr. Zhou on the other end of the phone.

Gu Yusheng sat quietly without making any sound.

She thought that Grandpa Zhou didn't know about her coming to Cologne with Zhou Zongyan.

Girls should be reserved.

Don't let the old man figure it out.

The Bentley started and slowly drove out of the dim underground garage following the signs.

The gray sky is reflected in the glass window little by little.Gu Yusheng's eyes lightly passed over the receding European-style street scene, and in his ears was the man's slow and steady voice on the phone. It was unhurried and slow, just the right calm speed, and with an undeniable tough attitude, he asked Zhou as a creditor Fang, he seemed to have major differences with the old man on whether to accept signing the debt restructuring proposal proposed by Medprin.

As the leader of the group, he clearly has the highest decision-making power.

But why is the old man still so stubborn on this matter that he won't give in at all?
On the plane before, through the conversation between Zhou Zongyan and Xu Jie, she roughly understood that in the final analysis, it was Grandpa Zhou who remembered the old relationship with the founder of Medprin during adversity and wanted to help him at this important moment.

But the premise is that it will be at the expense of Zhou's own interests.

The wealth accumulation of the previous generation is ultimately not worth the stupidity and squandering of the next generation.

Medprin's current financial situation can undoubtedly be described as a bottomless pit. No matter how much external investment is made, there will be no escape in the end: death.

Not having a qualified heir is fatal to a large enterprise, and it is also the inevitable result of its demise.

Zhou Zongyan never does meaningless charity.

He is a businessman who only cares about interests, not feelings.

The matter was resolved to no avail, and the old man was so angry that his blood pressure soared.

From this moment on, the rivalry between grandfather and grandson seems to have reached its highest peak.

Considering the health of the old man, Zhou Zongyan finally chose to interrupt this 'internal strife'. He calmly explained the expedient measures, softened his attitude slightly, and barely satisfied the other party. He used urgent official duties as an excuse to temporarily end this period. Two 10-minute calls.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yusheng stared out the window. Even though the car was completely quiet, she did not dare to take the initiative to break the extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Until the warm fingertips of the person beside her came close, pinched her soft cheek, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so depressed and don't like this dress?"

"What do you think?" Gu Yusheng turned around and asked him.

Zhou Zongyan's deep gaze fell quietly on the girl.

This was not the first time he had seen her wearing a dress. Different from her youthful appearance during her coming-of-age ceremony, at the age of 21, her body was more graceful and graceful.

The champagne-colored fabric is cut and cinched at the waist, and the flawless white back is exposed under the tulle. The shoulder straps are narrow and the one-line neckline is low to the upper edge of the chest, seamlessly wrapping up the perfect breast shape.

In the dim car, between the girl's white swan neck, there is the priceless YFTTS customized diamond necklace of the same color, the only one in the world.

Gu Yusheng didn't know how valuable this outfit was.

Just under Zhou Zongyan's silent gaze, his thoughts gradually wandered away, thinking that it seemed to be the same scene last night.

The fundamental difference between a nightgown and a dress is that the former is cover-up, while the latter is confident and calm.

And what she hopes is that she can always belong to the latter in front of him.

Silently, Zhou Zongyan withdrew his gaze that lingered for too long, and finally settled on her face, "Very beautiful."

Gu Yusheng asked knowingly: "Is the dress beautiful?"

The man smiled.

"People are more beautiful."

This time, he made no secret of his praise.

Gu Yusheng thought to herself, in fact, she was just one of the ordinary beings, and a word of appreciation from the person she admired was worth more than all the compliments from all the suitors in the world.

Sure enough, she still has vanity.

The girl's eyes were filled with stars. At this moment, Zhou Zongyan could probably figure out why he personally rejected the dress Pella brought upstairs yesterday.

He wants her.

The thought of not wanting to share what was revealed about her with anyone.

But it's often self-defeating.

You think you are a wise and decisive decision, but in the end it is you who suffers the most.

Zhou Zongyan was even thinking that there was no need to attend tonight's auction. If she returned the same way now, she would cry.
I feel helpless for my ridiculous idea.

Indeed, compared with his current state of mind, the old man's anger on the phone just now seemed less overwhelming.

　If I said that the two of them are not far away from getting together (probably within six chapters), would you think the progress is too fast?
