Gu Yusheng leaned on the desk and read the files carefully. He didn’t talk to Qin Zhi’ai, so the quiet office became even quieter.
After about five minutes, Miss Zhang walked in with a cup of tea. She politely and gently put it in front of Qin Zhi’ai and walked to Gu Yusheng.
The office was quiet for a while before Gu Yusheng placed the files down on the desk. He picked up his markers and signed each of them.
With a pile of files in her arms, Miss Zhang reminded Gu Yusheng, “Mr. Gu, everyone is waiting in the conference room for you.”
Gu Yusheng acknowledged her and turned around to take a look at Qin Zhi’ai. “I’m going to a meeting. Can you wait for me here?”
Isn’t it the same to have her in the office by herself and at home by herself, since she’ll be out of it either way? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
“Never mind.” Gu Yusheng denied that idea a second after he asked the question, even before he got a response from Qin Zhi’ai. He picked up the files that Qin Zhi’ai had left on the desk and walked to her. He grabbed her arm and took her with him. “Come to the meeting with me.”
Meeting? She didn’t work for him, nor would she understand what they would talk about at the meeting.
“I think I’ll wait for you here,” Qin Zhi’ai said.
Gu Yusheng totally ignored what Qin Zhi’ai had said and dragged her into the conference room. He didn’t care when everyone stared at them in surprise. He pulled up a chair for her and had her sit down before he said h.e.l.lo to everyone in the conference room. “Let’s get started.”
Everyone talked in jargon in the conference room, with topics like marketing a.n.a.lysis, indication, and stock fluctuation. It was like a different language to her. Halfway through the meeting, she started to feel sleepy.
As she was falling asleep, she felt a mouse being put in her hand. She jerked and woke up immediately. She had no idea when a laptop had been placed in front of her. The game “Landlord vs. Peasants” was on the screen.
She recognized that it was Gu Yusheng’s laptop right away. She was shocked for a while before she turned around to look at him.
He had no expression on his face, only watching the person who was speaking. He looked like he was listening to the speaker attentively.
Time seemed to pa.s.s a lot quicker with the game.
Once the meeting ended, Gu Yusheng walked away from Qin Zhi’ai as he talked on his cell phone.
Qin Zhi’ai went to the restroom and pa.s.sed by Gu Yusheng. She thought she heard him say, “Okay, six o’clock. It would be best if you could arrive before six o’clock.”
Gu Yusheng had hung up the phone when Qin Zhi’ai walked out of the restroom. He was standing by the conference room door and talking about something with Miss Zhang. Miss Zhang nodded at times and walked away with Gu Yusheng’s laptop and files in her arms. Gu Yusheng looked up to scan around and laid his eyes on Qin Zhi’ai. He watched her for two seconds, then walked over to her. He said to her, “Let’s go.”
After walking into the elevator, the cell phone in Gu Yusheng’s pocket rang. It was a text message from Lu Bancheng. “It’s all done. I’ve contacted them and will be at the Four Seasons hotel soon.”
There was another text message coming in as Gu Yusheng was about put away his cell phone, still from Lu Bancheng. “What was wrong with you yesterday? Why did you ask us to come out?”
