She Can Also Be Gentle - Chapter 77

The brand’s new season’s summer clothes were just delivered in the evening, and Chi Nuan immersed himself in the cloakroom to sort out most of the night before they were all put in place.

Gu Ningzi was in a video conference. He Zhen sent a text message to Chi Nuan: “BOSS wants coffee.”

Chi Nuan: “How about you?”

He Zhen: “The gods are fighting here, I can’t drink the fairy dew. [Dizziness]”

Chi Nuan laughed and stepped out of the car.

It was mid-March, after the severe winter, the spring breeze was getting warmer day by day. The night breeze of Henan Mountain mixed with the clear breath of the mountains blows into the house, which is refreshing.

The coffee machine is running, the hot coffee is slowly poured into the cup, and the sugar cubes are picked up after the warmth, and you hear the slight footsteps behind you.

She thought it was He Zhen who came out to urge, and said softly: “Wait, it will be all right soon.”

The white sugar cubes melted into the brown coffee, Chi Nuan gently stirred, the visitor stopped and knocked her forehead on her shoulder without a word.

Chi Nuan smelled the familiar scent on the other party, it was Gu Ningzi.

“…”

The coffee spoon hit the rim of the cup with a crisp sound.

No one spoke. After a few seconds, or ten seconds later, Gu Ningzi casually took the coffee cup from Chi Nuan’s hand: “You can go back.”

“Gu Ningzi…”

Gu Ningzi turned her head, her gaze behind the lens was so cold that it was impeccable, as if the scene had never happened before.

My heart is very soft and painful, Gu Ningzi must be very tired, she will always be work, work, and not even a really relaxing vacation.

Driving home, carrying fruits upstairs, Xiao Pan, who hadn’t contacted her much since the meal, called her: “Sister Chi, have you rested?”

Chi Nuan said unexpectedly: “No, Xiao Pan, what’s the matter?”

Xiao Pan was mysterious: “I just came out of the hospital and everyone went there. Well, Wang Lili, Teacher Wang was beaten and hospitalized!”

Chi Nuan stopped on the stairs with a surprised voice: “Huh?”

Xiaopan: “Sister Chi, you are not here, so you don’t know that things are changing in the school these days. Principal Lu was transferred away, and Director Huang and Teacher Wang were fired directly. Teacher Wang was not angry, and came to the university with her husband yesterday. There was an argument, and I was beaten today.”

Chi Nuan: “…”

Xiao Pan: “It’s pretty miserable, my nose and face are swollen, and my legs are broken.”

Chi Nuan thought of what He Zhen said not long ago that Siqin Group wanted to sell part of its shares to Spider. Wouldn’t it be such a coincidence? It just happened to involve these few people.

Xiao Pan: “Although there is no evidence that the school sent someone to fight, but at this moment, people can’t help but think about it. Anyway, people are panicking now, I don’t know if there will be any actions from the upper side. The private treatment is good. Okay, but after this incident, I always feel quite insecure, and I will consider going public in the future…”

After listening to the phone, Chi Nuan opened the door and entered the house, Xiao Wutong fell asleep, and Aunt Lu was cleaning the living room.

With such a high salary, Gu Ningzi can’t always let Gu Ningzi match her time. Besides, Xiao Wutong waits for her in the nursery every time and is too sleepy. The dark circles in her young age have come out, so Chi Nuan simply put Lu Auntie asked for help again.

Little Wutong was taken care of by Aunt Lu since she was a child, and Aunt Lu also had feelings for him, not to mention that Chi Qingchuan is gone, and she also pity Chi Nuan and Xiao Wutong. So when Chi Nuan spoke, she agreed without saying a word.

Seeing that the living room was almost cleaned up, Aunt Lu was ready to go back. Chi Nuan gave her the fruit and took the car key to send her. Aunt Lu refused to say: “I’ll be home in a few minutes, but you, rest early and work for a day.”

After Aunt Lu left, Chi Nuan went to see Little Indus, who fell asleep snoring. Chi Nuan returned to her room and wanted to ask Gu Ningzi about the Siqin Group, but she was afraid that it would affect her meeting, and she was also afraid that she would be affectionate.

Find a chance to ask again tomorrow.

The next day, when Late Warm arrived at Henan Mountain, He Zhen leaned on the sofa and sketched Gu Ningzi’s itinerary. Seeing that Chi Warm had arrived, she said: “The island meeting that Lin attended was changed to BOSS. Do not leave the country, fly tomorrow evening, and return the day after tomorrow, BOSS asked me to ask, is your time okay?”

If you ask Aunt Lu to stay overnight and take care of the little phoenix tree, the problem shouldn’t be too big. Chi Nuan should answer it first.

He Zhen: “Okay.”

Looking at He Zhen, who was immersed in work, Chi Nuan moved her heart: “Assistant He, about the Siqin Group…”

“Siqin Group”, He Zhen looked up, “What do you want to ask?”

Chi Nuan said: “I used to be a teacher in the private elementary school jointly sponsored by Siqin Group and the First Middle School.”

He Zhen: “Yes, it’s written on your resume.”

Chi Nuan: “Just… a former colleague called me last night, saying that there have been some personnel changes in the school recently… and a teacher was beaten and was hospitalized…”

He Zhen shook his shoulders and laughed.

Chi Nuan was confused by her smile. She didn’t say anything funny, right…?

He Zhen smiled and shook his head: “I understand. ——At the end of the meeting that day, BOSS casually mentioned that elementary school.”

! ! ! So is it really because of Gu Ningzi?

He Zhen: “Siqin wanted to sell shares and came to the door by himself. BOSS is a businessman, and it is impossible to have money without making money. But money-making projects also need to go through the process step by step, and it can’t be done overnight. It’s not because of her. Deliberately stuck thinking.”

Chi Nuan nodded, and He Zhen continued: “After the acquisition of Yunchu, Siqin locked Spider as a target. It wanted to use Spider’s funds to solve its urgent need, and naturally it would spare no effort to analyze every word of BOSS.”

As he said, He Zhen smiled playfully: “Look at Siqin’s handling methods, Assistant Chi, you were bullied during your elementary school teaching period?”

Chi Nuan looked at her awkwardly.

He Zhen: “In the market where soldiers are not bloody, BOSS has always played around. She vents her anger for you, as long as you know it in your heart.”

Chi Nuan didn’t speak for a while, and the room was quiet. He Zhen slowly wiped her fingers from her lips. She propped her cheeks and tilted her head and said, “…The person who bullied you lost his job. Hearing you said he was beaten. Those who are hospitalized, don’t care about exaggeration or over-exaggeration. After all, this incident is internal to Siqin. You will never have a bad opinion of BOSS because of this, right?”

“No.” Chi Nuan hurriedly shook her hand.

…I just thought that in this circle where capital is king, although Gu Ningzi, who is young, has a place because of her mother, she can only gain a foothold and solve it effortlessly if she has worked thousands of times. One thing?

He Zhen’s brows loosened, and he glanced at his watch: “… Assistant Chi, it’s time for the boss to get up. Go up and have a look.”

Chi Nuan: “Okay.”

Chi Nuan went up to the third floor and knocked on the bedroom door: “Gu Ningzi, it’s me, are you awake?”

There was no movement in the bedroom, and Gu Ningzi’s lazy voice came vaguely from the direction of the bathroom: “Here.”

There was a slight sound of water, and the warmth turned to the bathroom. Gu Ningzi was taking a bath, lying in a lying posture, with her shoulders, neck and legs exposed, her body lines were extremely attractive, but she was like a poppy radiating to herself at this moment. He didn’t feel the attraction, closed his eyes and looked awake.

Chi Nuan turned his back for the first time.

Gu Ningzi: “Come in, my shoulders are sore.”

Chi Nuan: “…”

Chi Nuan took a breath, rolled up his sleeves, and cleaned his hands. After that, he stopped in front of the bathtub and dropped the palm of his hand to Gu Ningzi’s shoulder.

The fragrance occupies the concentration of oxygen, and Chi Nuan is a little dizzy. She squeezes it gently, trying to distract her attention by chatting: “…Is the meeting late?”

Gu Ningzi: “Hmm…”

The skin under her hand was too delicate, Chi Nuan cleared her throat and tried not to look at it as much as possible: “Assistant He said about a business trip. I and my time should be fine.”

Put your fingertips against your skin and slowly expand downwards until the palms of your hands are completely wrapped around your shoulders. Pushing the thumb along the cervical spine to both sides, repeatedly rubbing, the skin temperature slowly rose, Chi Nuan said: “Also, about the school, thank you.”

The wet eyelashes trembled, and Gu Ningzi’s deep eyes opened silently.

Ripples appeared on the water, and Gu Ningzi turned her head and said, “Chi Warm.”

Chi Nuan: “Huh?”

Gu Ningzi: “You go out.”

Chi Nuan: “???” Didn’t you let me come in and pinch your shoulders? The effort of just two sentences is over?

Gu Ningzi paused: “I’m not so clear now, your voice makes me… sleepy.”

Chi Nuan: “…”

Chi Nuan left the bathroom and sat in the cloakroom for ten minutes. Looking at his hands, there was still touch and temperature remaining on them.

Covering her face, shaking her head, Chi Nuan put her thoughts behind her head, got up, and chose clothes that suit Gu Ningzi’s itinerary today.

“Chi Nuan.” Gu Ningzi’s voice rang outside.

Chi Nuan exited the cloakroom and saw Gu Ningzi standing in the corridor with a hair dryer, her bathrobe wrapped tightly from neck to knee.

Chi Nuan: “…”

Chi Nuan took the hair dryer and Gu Ningzi sat down in front of the vanity mirror. When Chi Nuan was blowing her hair, she applied a mask on her face.

The hair was entwined at the fingertips, with a strong cold fragrance. Chi Nuan remembered the interview a year ago. The lively camera assistant asked her how Gu Ningzi usually takes care of her. Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Gu Ningzi looked at Chi Nuan who was smiling happily in the mirror, and she unknowingly moved the corners of her lips.

In the evening, Chi Nuan packed his luggage at home, and Xiao Wutong said, “Mom, you have the words to say, and you will be back the day after tomorrow.”

Chi Nuan stretched out her little finger: “Come on, can we pull the hook?”

Little Wutong curled his mouth: “I will miss you…”

Aunt Lu smiled and put her hand on Xiao Wutong’s shoulder: “Little Wutong, is it not good to be with Grandma Lu? Grandma takes you to the square every night to throw basketballs, how about?”

Little Wutong was tempted by this proposal and lay on Chi Nuan’s back: “Mom, don’t forget to video with me.”

Chi Nuan smiled and said, “Guaranteed.”

The next day, Chi Nuan and He Zhen followed Gu Ningzi to the exclusive apron of the hotel where the island was staying. The time was after nine o’clock in the evening.

The specially arranged meal on the plane was very rich. He Zhen put down his luggage and came to look for Chi Nuan: “Are you going for a walk? If you eat too much on the plane, you have to digest.”

“Okay.” Just after Chi Nuan finished the video with Xiao Wutong, she asked He Zhen: “Will the BOSS go?”

He Zhen shook his finger: “She is looking at tomorrow’s speech.”

“Oh.” Chi Nuan changed his high heels and went for a walk with He Zhen on the beach.

The island and the cloud city are two seasons, and the sea breeze at night brings the remaining warmth of the scorching sun to the body. Stopping around, Chi Nuan asked He Zhen: “Have you put on sunscreen?”

He Zhen put on Chi Nuan’s shoulders, and both of them laughed.

After walking in the direction of the sea breeze, Chi Nuan felt something hit his eyes. She covered her eyes and lowered her head, He Zhen said, “Let me see.”

“It may have flew into a small bug.” Chi Nuan couldn’t resist rubbing, tears battered.

He Zhen turned on the phone’s lighting and raised Chi Nuan’s face: “The tears came out, are you okay? Does it hurt?”

Chi Nuan blinked: “It’s much better.”

“… Assistant Chi, is that the one we live in?” He Zhen pointed to the small villa behind Chi Nuan.

Chi Nuan turned her head, her tears still remained, and her eyes were hazy. She said, “It seems so.”

With this episode, He Zhen didn’t move forward anymore. She sat down on the beach and stretched her legs comfortably with her arms: “It’s great, pretending to be on vacation.”

Chi Nuan was about to sit down, the phone rang and Chi Nuan connected, and Gu Ningzi said to her, “Come here.”
