Gu Changyi raised his eyebrows: "Really? What did she say about him?"

"She praised me..."

"That's not bad."

Gu Changzai was smiling on the surface, but the surprise in his heart was much greater than what his face showed.

Xue Xiaoman actually mentioned himself in front of them, which meant that the degree of respect he held in Xue Xiaoman's heart was much higher than he had previously thought.

The girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Gu Changzai didn't ask about her appearance. Could she reveal what Sister Xiaoman said without permission? She also laughed, because Gu Changzai was no longer so strange to her. She had already heard Wong Fang's name and knew Wong Fang.

The melodious violin sound coming from the dinner hall came to the end of the song, and the dance ended. Gu Changzai walked outside the dinner hall while chatting with the girl. Gu Changzai poured mellow wine into his own goblet. The girl felt a little embarrassed and poured herself half a glass of red wine, clinking glasses with Gu Changzai and drinking by mistake.

The girl didn't seem to be good at drinking either. She drank a small glass of red wine while trying very hard to control her expression. Her pretty face quickly turned red, and she looked really cruel. Gu Chang felt a little amused for a moment. It had been a long time since he had met a girl who behaved as politely as the girl in front of him and could not tolerate drinking.

"Actually, he wants to know something..." Gu Changzai said.

"What's going on

"Xue Xiaoman, when she was on the 15th floor, what was she like when she was around us?" Gu Changzai was a little curious about this.

"Well, in his impression, Miss Xiaoman is the same at all times. She is approachable and doesn't have the stern airs when treating Dongzhi. Moreover, she likes to joke with them and often takes care of them. They bring fruits and snacks, like big sisters. Sometimes it’s really thanks to Sister Xiaoman being their manager that their working atmosphere is not so tense.”

"Then there's no difference between her mistreating boys and girls?"

"It should be said that there is a difference between boys and girls regarding Sister Xiaoman. Whenever there is a task of carrying water and making coffee, the boys in their department will rush to help Sister Xiaoman do it."

Gu Changzai nodded in understanding. He got more information about Xue Xiaoman from the girl's words. It turned out that none of it was good news, but it made Gu Changzai feel that he had asked but not at all.

In fact, does he want to find some faults in Xue Xiaoman's habits and personality, so that he can avoid the minefields in the further process of getting along with Xue Xiaoman. But he couldn't be so direct and ask the girl in front of him.

"Linlin, I'm over there. Have you been drinking?"

That familiar voice belonged to Xue Xiaoman. Xue Xiaoman suddenly appeared between Gu Changzai and the girl. Gu Changzai was startled, but the girl greeted Xue Xiaoman enthusiastically.

"Hello, Sister Xiaoman."

Xue Xiaoman smiled meaningfully and said: "Hey, we are a young Gu and an old Gu, so it happened that we met at the dinner party?"

Gu Changzai always felt that there was something in Xue Xiaoman's words, but he didn't dare to turn his face away, so he looked directly at Xue Xiaoman's face: "No, it's a coincidence."

The girl's face was red, making people wonder if she was a little embarrassed or if it was because of the red wine.

"He's here to introduce us to the other side. The little girl is Gu Xianglin, the quiet little beauty in their department. The old man is Gu Changzai, he keeps his mouth shut and is very tactful, he's not a fritter." Xue Xiaoman Smiled.

"Hey!" Gu Changzai couldn't help complaining. Sure enough, Xue Xiaoman was just like what Gu Xianglin said. He really liked making jokes about the East, and he was very good at it. Just one sentence made him so embarrassed that he couldn't laugh or cry. .

Gu Xianglin smiled. She didn't expect that Sister Xiaoman would introduce Gu Changzai like that. Gu Changzai is obviously handsome and talkative, although he does look a bit more mature.

"Okay, Linlin, I'm sorry that he went to the east and begged to drag away the man who came to chat with me with his heart in mind." Xue Xiaoman said.

"Ah, it's okay." Gu Xianglin waved his legs.

Otherwise, Xue Xiaoman furiously half-grabbed and half-pinched Gu Changzai's legs and arms, and pulled Gu Changzai away.

When he was far away from Gu Xianglin, Gu Changzai said, "Wow, Minister Xue, please be gentle. He is so gentle and gentle like everyone else."

"Shouldn't he be the one to say that? Gu Changzai, you see I'm quite 'honest' at ordinary times. I used to do a lot of tricks to seduce little girls. I'm afraid I might be wrong with the 'moves' he used." Xue Xiao Man's tone and words were like a knife dipped in honey syrup, poking Gu Changzai's spine.

Xue Xiaoman is the head of the A3 department, and she knows the personality of each Dong subordinate very well. Gu Xianglin is a very outgoing girl. Gu Changzai's ability to chat with Gu Xianglin at a dinner party is nothing, but when it comes to making Gu Xianglin chat with him quite relaxedly, her ability is surprising.

Gu Changzai even said: "No way, how dare he use those fancy things to lead you, and he doesn't know how to do it. The reason why he and Gu Xianglin had a good chat was because they talked about someone they both respected. You are the great leader.”

"Stop my flattery. Do you think he didn't hear me call him by his first name?"

"..."

Immediately, Xue Xiaoman changed the topic: "From now on, I will just call him by his name. He is a big leader, so I don't think it feels awkward to him?"

Gu Changzai swallowed and tentatively called, "Xue Xiaoman?"

"Gu Changzai." Xue Xiaoman stared at Gu Changzai's eyes, which were as deep as deep sea gems, reflecting Gu Changzai's face.

Their faces were so close to each other that they were as long as two legs. Gu Changzai began to feel many pinprick eyes focused on his back.

But that doesn't matter. If Jiedong went to him, there would definitely be more eyes on him, so many that they would sieve him into a sieve. If he didn't have the guts to bear it, he would have been receiving the attention given by Xue Xiaoman. Change the reward method during the mission.

The first dance music was about to start, and Xue Xiaoman and Gu Changzai walked to the center of the dinner hall. There were dozens of men and women holding hands, and everyone who had not participated in the dance was a crowd of spectators. As soon as Xue Xiaoman and Gu Chang came in, a large portion of the crowd focused their attention on them.

When the sound started, Xue Xiaoman and Gu Changzai held their legs, touched their backs, and assumed the postures and steps of ballroom dancing to the dance music that heightened the atmosphere. Xue Xiaoman's stunning beauty was right in front of Gu Changzai's eyes. No matter how the two danced, their eyes always met the wrong eyes.

Gu Changzai's dancing skills are excellent, but Xue Xiaoman's dancing skills are not superb. She followed Gu Changzai's rhythm, and the two danced in perfect harmony from the first time.

"Xue Xiaoman, he found that I seem to be very popular. It seems that it would be a great honor for him to dance with me." Gu Changzai said.

Xue Xiaoman always had a charming smile on her lips. She didn't shut up. Her eyes were like the sea in the east of the night sky, with rippling waves that made it difficult to see and guess.

... ...

After the dance, Xue Xiaoman and Gu Changzai walked out of the "dance floor" surrounded by crowds. The hour and minute hands of the huge wall clock showed that it was close to 11 o'clock, and there was still an hour left before the end of the dinner.

Xue Xiaoman suddenly turned around, and Gu Changzai, who had been following her a little behind, paused and stopped in place.

"What's wrong?"

"It's almost time to go back. What about me? Would you like to continue chatting with Linlin?" Xue Xiaoman said.

Of course Gu Changzai would not say "no". Although he met Gu Xianglin from the A3 department at the dinner, which was an unexpected bonus, he did not have much interest in the dinner, so he would just go back.

Xue Xiaoman showed a faint smile. She turned back and walked with light and graceful steps. Gu Changzai followed Xue Xiaoman out of the door of the dinner hall. When I was leaving the house, I looked back.

He didn't find Gu Xianglin, but instead met the eyes of many men who were glancing in that direction. They noticed that Gu Changzai was looking towards the crowd, and they all pretended not to look at Gu Changzai.

That kind of gaze gave Gu Changzai a strange feeling. He stopped paying attention to the people and things in the dinner hall, turned around and walked out of the hall.

After leaving the splendid Wangchen Pavilion, Gu Changzai and Xue Xiaoman walked side by side to the parking lot and came to the side of the bright red sports car.

"I will drink a lot tomorrow night, so he can take me home." Gu Changzai said out of male courtesy.

Xue Xiaoman glanced back: "Did he look red in the face?" She said with a smile, then opened the car door and walked to the passenger seat.

Xue Xiaoman always looks like that, with a very beguiling smile that makes it impossible for anyone to guess whether what she says and what she does are the same or different. Gu Changzai gradually got used to Xue Xiaoman's style. He went straight to the driver's side of the sports car, opened the door and walked in.

Gu Changzai started the sports car and drove the bright red sports car in a lane with few people and cars. He stepped on the accelerator and headed east, and the wind blowing around the windshield suddenly became several times stronger.

The way you came is the same as the way you left. With Gu Changzai as your guide, you don’t have to worry about getting lost. Like Xue Xiaoman, he drove a speedy sports car down a deserted and spacious road. With the dark night as the background, the scenery on both sides of the road receded rapidly. Even the trees and street lights could be seen by the human eye. To Yongxuan who was passing by.

Xue Xiaoman secretly looked at Gu Changzai's side face. Gu Changzai was concentrating on driving, enjoying the pleasure of driving at a fast speed, and did not notice the eyes that Xue Xiaoman was looking at him.

The sports car quickly arrived at Xue Xiaoman's luxurious single-family villa. Gu Changzai parked the car, pulled out the car key and handed it to Xue Xiaoman.

"Good night, see you tomorrow." Gu Changzai said softly.

Xue Xiaoman mistakenly caught Gu Changzai's eyes. She gently took the key handed over by Gu Changzai and said, "It's all been delivered to the door of the house. Let's finish the dress before leaving."

Gu Changzai stopped thinking for a moment. Xue Xiaoman's eyes were like those of a drunken siren, and Gu Changzai couldn't distinguish the meaning behind them.

"Um."

It was quiet night outside, and Gu Changzai and Xue Xiaoman walked into her home for the second time. The room was pitch dark, Xue Xiaoman turned on the dim living room light, and Gu Changzai's original clothes were neatly stacked on the sofa.

"Here, let's take it to the room and change it."

“You know, you don’t have to tell him every step of the way.

Gu Changzai walked around the coffee table and walked to the sofa. As soon as he bent down, there was a soft pop, and the light in the living room disappeared in an instant. The room was dark, and he could not see his fingers when he stretched his legs.

Gu Changzai's bending movement stopped. He guessed whether it would be the same when he entered Xue Xiaoman's house.
