After I Was Reborn, I Devoted Myself To My Career - Chapter 105
half a month later
There is only one desk chair and a sofa for guests in the empty office, which looks a bit deserted.
The man sitting at the desk was concentrating on his desk work. There was only the ticking of the clock in the room until there was a knock on the door.
The man’s train of thought was interrupted, he frowned indistinctly, straightened his collar, and said, “Please come in.”
A woman in business attire came in, she handed over the documents that needed to be processed, and then stood quietly aside.
The man looked at it casually, and just left it there. These are not important documents. If important documents are encountered, the secretary will explain them to him.
He straightened his tie and asked, “What is my schedule for the afternoon?”
The secretary quickly replied: “Mr. Gu, there is no arrangement for this afternoon, but there is a charity dinner at seven o’clock in the evening.”
“Okay, prepare a car for me.” Gu Ze said, he didn’t know what he thought of, and he called the secretary who was about to leave in response: “You, do you know who is invited to the banquet? Some of them cooperate with our company” Are people from Sifang Real Estate going?”
The secretary paused, but she took note of the people present, but it took a long time, and she forgot. Just as she was thinking hard, the voice of her boss came: “It’s okay, you go out first.”
After the secretary left, Gu Ze smiled wryly and patted his forehead. He had already formed a habit, and he didn’t dare to disturb Xiaohan with these complicated and trivial matters, but Eric said that chasing people has to use various excuses Get close to your sweetheart, otherwise you will only get further and further away from Xiaohan.
He immediately picked up his phone and started editing text messages.
Qi Zhaohan was reading a book in the library when the mobile phone in his hand vibrated suddenly, which shocked him suddenly.
He picked up his phone and saw a new message.
[Xiaohan, have you received an invitation to today’s charity dinner? 】
Qi Zhaohan was in a daze, watching the second message come in.
[Xiao Han, I have no other intentions, just asking casually. 】
Qi Zhaohan was a little confused. Gu Ze didn’t know what happened recently, but he suddenly became very clingy. Now, most of the text messages he received in his inbox were text messages from Gu Ze.
Moreover, Gu Ze has already invited him six times, once every two days on average, and he politely refused each time. However, I don’t know if it’s because of too many rejections or Gu Ze’s pitiful tone. He even has a bit… I feel guilty.
Qi Zhaohan pursed his lips and replied
[Yes, but I’ve been busy recently, so I’ve already declined. 】
When Gu Ze saw the reply, his mood fell instantly, and he replied dully
【Oh, OK. 】
Seeing such a short reply, Qi Zhaohan breathed a sigh of relief, at least Gu Ze didn’t invite him again.
But within three seconds, another new message came in.
[Then Xiaohan, do you have time tomorrow? I just found a delicious restaurant, we can try it together. 】
Qi Zhaohan just wanted to help his forehead, but he couldn’t say anything if he refused, and it seemed that it was just for a meal…
【it is good. 】
When Gu Ze saw the text message, he was immediately excited, and he replied at a loss
[Xiaohan, then I will pick you up then! 】
—
Eric was lying on the sofa, lazily watching TV, and when he saw the new message from Gu Ze on his phone, he smiled triumphantly.
He wiped his hair narcissistically again, and sighed, there are not many good people like him who help rivals to chase after their sweethearts, he is simply a great saint.
———
In the banquet, people were coming and going. In the magnificent hall, there were glamorous men and women gathered. It was said to be a charity dinner, but it was actually a communication platform established by businessmen, a platform for everyone to get acquainted quickly.
Among the group of middle-aged men with potbellies in the front seat, Gu Ze’s tall and straight figure stood out even more. Coupled with his outstanding appearance, he attracted the attention of many wives and ladies when he first entered the hall.
In addition, there are some people with ulterior motives.
Even though he was already seated, those gazes didn’t decrease, on the contrary, they became more fiery. Gu Ze naturally felt these gazes, but his expression was as usual, and he was still focused on the stage, as if he didn’t realize it at all.
All the celebrities and their families in S City were invited to the charity dinner. In fact, it was a reception held by the name of the fundraiser. You can also get the name of a philanthropist and get to know entrepreneurs through this. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The stars on the stage sang and danced, gradually pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax, but Gu Ze was a little absent-minded. He looked down at the time, sat up straight impatiently, and let his eyes go blank.
If he had known that the dinner would be so long, he would have rejected it. Nothing is more important than meeting Xiaohan. All he wants to do now is to go back and tidy up his clothes for tomorrow’s date.
When Gu Ze’s patience was about to wear down, the dinner party was finally coming to an end, and everyone got up and walked to another hall, where a reception would be held later.
———
As the reception progressed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more enthusiastic.
Gu Ze didn’t have much interest in chatting with people. After a few polite words with the people around him, he made an excuse to go to the bathroom, walked out of the crowd, found an empty sofa and sat down.
At this time, a voice came over: “Hello, is this Mr. Gu?”
Gu Ze raised his head upon hearing this, and in front of him was a man in his fifties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and wearing a pair of glasses. He looked very elegant and familiar.
Gu Ze stood up, raised a gentle smile, and was about to speak, but the man suddenly realized: “I remember where I met you, are you Xiaohan’s friend?”
“Yes, you are Mr. Hu?” Gu Ze remembered that this is Xiaohan’s uncle, whom he had met several times a few years ago.
The smile on Gu Ze’s face was somewhat real, and he said with a smile: “Uncle Hu looks younger and younger.”
“Where is it, my **** just said a few days ago that I have a few more wrinkles. After all, this business world is dominated by your young people. I am old.” Hu Hao laughed, very bold. His refined and easy-going manner is just an appearance, now that he meets friends of his junior generation, he no longer pretends.
“How is it at school? Are you used to campus life? Xiao Han is probably very busy. It’s been more than a month, and I haven’t even seen him.” Hu Hao blamed, but his tone was pampered.
Gu Ze smiled and said: “Xiao Han also told me that he misses you very much, but the company is too busy. He said that he will visit you when he is not busy in a few days.”
Hu Hao patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction. The more he looked at the child, the more satisfied he became, and he said with emotion: “It seems that you two have a good relationship, so I can rest assured. I originally wanted to promote the cooperation between your two companies. It seems that now Don’t worry about me.”
These two children reminded him of when he and Qi Zhan were in college. In the business world, it is the greatest blessing to have a good buddy who helps each other.
Gu Ze suddenly realized, no wonder this boss came here to chat with him, it was because of Xiaohan.
He softened his expression, and said firmly: “Uncle Hu, don’t worry, Xiaohan and I will be fine.”
Hu Hao nodded in satisfaction, and was about to speak when a voice came in, and the visitor said enthusiastically, “Mr. Hu, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time.”
Hu Hao withdrew most of his smile in an instant, and turned into that elegant businessman again. He bent his mouth, looked at the person, and said politely: “So it’s Mr. Zhou.”
Zhou Shen smiled, shook hands and said, “I heard that Mr. Hu is here, and I have been looking for you over there for a long time, but I didn’t expect you to be here.”
Gu Ze was silent at the side, he took a sip of his drink and observed Zhou Shen without any trace.
Is this man Zhou Minghao’s father?
As for the arrogant boy behind Zhou Shen, Gu Ze chose to ignore it.
Zhou Minghan had been observing Gu Ze all the time, wanting to see how outstanding the person his father had been telling him all day, and wanted him to quickly establish a good relationship with.
“Oh, I’m here to talk to Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhou, what’s the matter?” Hu Hao was a little surprised.
He hasn’t had any contact with Zhou’s company recently, what can Zhou Shen do with him?
Zhou Shen was waiting for this sentence. He made a gesture of sudden understanding, as if he saw Gu Ze at this time, and said in surprise: “My eyesight is dumb, and I was only thinking about talking to President Hu just now. I didn’t see that President Gu was also there.” .”
Gu Ze nodded politely and raised his glass gently to show his friendliness.
Zhou Shen moved half a step to the side indiscriminately, revealing the person behind him, and said with a smile: “Mr. I got acquainted with Mr. Gu, so this just happened to happen.”
As Zhou Shen spoke, he winked at Zhou Minghan, and Zhou Minghan hurried forward with an eager expression on his face, a look of admiration: “Hello, Mr. Gu, I didn’t expect to meet you here…”
Zhou Shen was very satisfied with his performance, but when he faced Hu Hao, he showed a very helpless old father look: “Oh, my child, after seeing Mr. Gu, he left me behind, then let’s go Talk about something else?”
As an old fox, Hu Hao didn’t know what he really meant, but he also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Zhou Shen’s gourd, so he took advantage of the situation and said, “Okay.”
But thinking that Gu Ze was considered his junior, he paused for a moment and patted Gu Ze on the shoulder: “Go back to school early after the banquet, don’t play around outside.”
Who knows that the son of Zhou Shen, the old guy, might be a good bird.
Gu Ze replied with a smile: “Okay, goodbye, Uncle Hu.”
Zhou Shen knew the deep meaning of his action, wasn’t it just to support him, but he didn’t plan to do anything, and now he knew that Gu Ze had the help of Hu Hao behind him, which was even more good news.
Zhou Minghan’s eyes lit up when he heard the familiar conversation between the two, and his attitude became a little more eager.
Gu Ze wanted to find out their purpose, so he didn’t have a cold face, but was very gentle, guiding Zhou Minghan to speak without any trace, and it seemed that the two chatted very speculatively.
———
After the dinner was over, Gu Ze got into the car, thinking of Zhou Minghan’s expression of reluctance when he just parted, he hooked the corners of his lips, and there was some irony in his smile.
I didn’t expect a person like Zhou Minghao to have such a stupid brother.
Not to mention—
The biological father would actually help the elder son deal with his younger son, and he did not hesitate to look for help with his old face.
Originally, under the leadership of Zhou Shen, the Zhou family has lost its former glory. In recent years, it has even fallen from a first-rate family to a second-rate family, and its property has shrunk frequently, almost sluggish.
Otherwise, just relying on the arrogance of the Zhou family’s first-class family, how could Zhou Shen be so enthusiastic about Hu Hao and him, and it can even be called carelessness.
It’s a pity that Zhou Shen’s short-sightedness is short-sighted, and the Zhou family’s vitality is about to be seriously injured.
The drama of the Zhou family must be very exciting.
