Anhao’s instinct told her that this seat shouldn’t be hers. It should be a seat that the other persons-in-charge of the organizers had specially reserved for someone else.
After all, the seat next to Zuo Hancheng was not for just anyone. Of course, it was not reserved for her. She could understand these gazes.
Just as she was thinking about it, the door of the private room opened. Bai Weiwei walked in while chatting gently with the person behind her. Anhao’s heart skipped a beat. In order to avoid the awkwardness of being chased away later, she immediately stood up.
Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on the back of the chair behind her.
When Bai Weiwei looked in that direction, the gentle smile in her eyes was replaced by a moment of surprise. However, she was well-mannered and when she saw that Anhao was unable to stand up due to Zuo Hanchengs sudden action, she smiled politely at Anhao.
It was not that Anhao did not want to get up, but Zuo Hanchengs sudden action seemed to have brought her into his territory. He was the designer that she had appointed last night, so it was understandable that she would sit beside him. No matter how much the outside world said about his relationship with Bai Weiwei and how compatible they were, after all, they had not revealed their true ambiguous relationship in front of everyone. They were not husband and wife, so there was indeed no need to leave the seat for Bai Weiwei.
Furthermore, the way Zuo Hancheng placed his arm on Gu Anhao’s chair, those who didn’t know better would have thought that Gu Anhao and him were a couple. The weird gazes gradually disappeared and they turned to look at Bai Weiwei.
Bai Weiwei looked at them and opened her mouth to speak. Zuo Hancheng, however, did not seem to notice that Bai Weiwei had put on makeup. Instead, he leaned towards Anhao and asked in front of everyone in the room,””Have you considered the design proposal?”
His voice was cold and clear, and no ambiguous elements could be seen. However, when everyone heard it, they could tell that President Zuo and the designer had something important to talk about. Naturally, they did not insist on Bai Weiwei sitting over.
Anhao, on the other hand, tilted her head slightly to avoid arousing suspicion. When she raised her head to look at everyone’s different gazes, she realized that her future ” boss ” was talking to her. In the end, she did not know the rules and avoided it, which seemed to arouse suspicion about their relationship. Therefore, she had no choice but to sit upright again. However, at the same time, she could feel the warmth of Zuo Hanchengs hand behind her back, and she could also feel the sharpness in his indifferent gaze.
She didn’t offend him, so what was there to be sharp about?
“What happened last night was too sudden. I thought President Zuo was joking. Everything happened too suddenly, so I haven’t thought of a preliminary plan yet.”She said calmly to dispel the awkwardness.
Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. His voice was still cold and calm, but it sounded serious and had the air of a leader.”Didn’t I already say last night that I never make such jokes in public?”
Anhao was giving each other a way out, but he was clearly trying to embarra.s.s her. Anhao turned to look at him, and the moment she met his eyes, she saw a
hint of warmth and coldness in his eyes.”Then I’ll start to study the plan after I go back tonight. However, President Zuo also invested in several projects of City F reconstruction. I might have to finish this project invested by President Zuo first before I consider your companys project.”
“Of course, you can arrange the time yourself.”
Seeing that the two of them were so serious about their business, Bai Weiwei did not want to sit down.
At this moment, someone was about to ask the waiter to bring a chair in and arrange a place for Bai Weiwei. Bai Weiwei waved her hand very naturally and said,””It’s fine, it’s fine. It doesn’t matter where we sit. Since the organizers have reserved so many private rooms tonight, it just so happens that the investors from City A who have just cooperated with our Construction Bureau are looking for me to discuss something. I’ll go to their private room.”
Bai Weiwei politely smiled and nodded at the crowd. She turned around and left, looking carefree as if she didn’t care.
Anhao’s intuition told her that Bai Weiwei liked Zuo Hancheng. However, it was impossible for Bai Weiwei not to be jealous of Zuo Hanchengs att.i.tude. Therefore, there was only one reason.
That was because this woman was so smart that she knew Gu Anhao’s ident.i.ty and what Zuo Hancheng hated. That was why Bai Weiwei acted so naturally without embarra.s.sing everyone.
However, Zuo Hancheng had been talking about ” business ” with her, so naturally, no one had any special thoughts about Anhao. After Bai Weiwei left, the atmosphere returned to normal. However, Zuo Hanchengs hand was still on the back of her chair. Even if they did not talk about anything else after that, even if he was talking to others, his hand never left her back.
President He was also at the table. He wanted to strike up a conversation with Anhao, but seeing Zuo Hanchengs hand behind Anhao’s back, he looked as if he was just taking care of a new ” subordinate “, but his att.i.tude was not that simple. President He did not dare to say anything more, but he still took the opportunity to toast Anhao and casually talked about the reconstruction project of the gymnasium in A City. After all, everyone came from A City and was also concerned about the reconstruction project in the province and the future appearance of the city.
Anhao took the opportunity to turn around and chat with President He. Although she didn’t really like this person, it was much better than being beside Zuo Hancheng as if she was his subordinate. It didn’t matter anymore. Why should she still be his subordinate? It was just that she might work for him in the future, but it didn’t mean that she had to stay beside him silently and not partic.i.p.ate in other things.
After chatting with President He for a while, President He smiled and told Zuo Hancheng that he admired her design style, but President Zuo beat him to it. In short, it was just a bunch of polite words.
Anhao felt bored after hearing that. Seeing that everyone had gotten into their own topic, she stopped partic.i.p.ating in these things. Just as she was about to find an old-fashioned excuse to go to the bathroom to leave, Zuo Hancheng suddenly leaned towards her again.
She suddenly turned to look at him. Zuo Hancheng had leaned over too suddenly. The moment she raised her head, she almost b.u.mped into his chin. The handsome face and the familiar slightly tipsy breath that was so close to her made her heart beat irregularly. She suddenly moved back a little. but Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.
“Didn’t you bring a gla.s.s of milk to my room last night? Why did you leave after that?” His voice was so soft that only she could hear it.
Anhao’s expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously denied it,”I’ve
never been there!”
