From that day on, Du Xiaoxian's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. She leaves early and returns late every day, and is familiar with the street scene in G City and the school environment day by day. While sitting in the car, she memorized the route home and the route to Gu's in her heart.
In class, she concentrated on it without any distractions, and gradually understood it. As for science, the young master said that she didn't need to learn it, but she didn't understand it either, so she lowered her head and drew in her notebook. She likes to draw. When she was bored at home, she would pick up a branch and sit in the yard for a whole morning, drawing here and there on the ground to pass the time. She painted flowers, dragonflies, big trees, small grasses, and Chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, sheep, dogs, cats... draw everything she can see.
After class, she still dared not talk to people, but gradually dared to meet people's eyes, and even saw friendly faces, she would smile back. After school, Xiaoding took her to Gu's, and she sat in Gu Nianbin's office to do her homework. I can understand in class, and I don’t need Gu Nianbin to teach me to do my homework. If I can’t do it, I will ask. She has also become brave. If Gu Nianbin is not in the office, she will go outside to find Zhou Ting .
Sometimes when he sees Shao Baiqing, he will nod and smile from a distance, not approaching her. Although Shao Baiqing looks kind and polite when he sees her now, it can't dispel her worries. The young master said to stay away from him, then She stays away from him.
When she entered Gu's, she obediently stayed in the president's office and rarely went out, so when she came every day, not many people recognized her. After finishing her homework, Gu Nianbin asked her to play computer games, and she didn't know anything else, only watching "Bear Infested". I often cover my mouth and laugh straight.
While Gu Nianbin was sitting at his desk dealing with official business, he would occasionally look up at her, his face was calm, but there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, Zhou Ting came in once, saw it inadvertently, and was startled , she had never seen the boss's expression like this, it was as gentle as... pampering! She frowned, no way, just because Du Xiaoxian saved Mr. Gu, the boss planned to promise him with his body? Even if she was killed, she would not believe it. There is also a photo of Xia Xiaowan on Gu Nianbin's desk. The girl in the photo is bright and generous, noble and elegant, and is just suitable for the boss. Although this Du Xiaoxian is pretty, she is rustic and fragile. No matter how you look at it, the two of them are incomparable. ah!
Zhou Ting took the invitation letter she just received and knocked on the door to enter. Gu Nianbin only answered without raising her head, and looked at the information in her hand with a stern face. This is Gu Nianbin, whom Zhou Ting is most familiar with. She has no expression on her face and can't see any emotions. She thinks that she has read it wrong, and she thinks too much. She doesn't like watching Xiaoyan or idol dramas. God knows how she would think of it. This bad Cinderella story.
"President, the invitation letter just sent by the chamber of commerce states that it is necessary to bring a female companion to participate, look..."
Gu Nianbin took it and glanced at it, then threw it aside and tapped lightly on the table with his fingers. Zhou Ting knew that this meant that Gu Nianbin was thinking. Usually, at this kind of banquet, Gu Nianbin usually chooses female companions from a few good families, but this time, Zhou Ting felt that there might be a different result than usual.
Gu Nianbin was indeed thinking, he hated this kind of banquet the most, it was extremely boring, and he couldn't refuse it. He is even more troubled by the matter of bringing a female companion. Although there are several daughters who are friends with the family for him to choose, no matter which daughter attends the banquet with him, they will come to pester him in a short time, either to have a meal or to accompany him. She is watching a musical or something, and he can't always keep a straight face. After all, he owes you a favor to accompany you to attend!
When she was frowning, Zhou Ting said next to her: "Why don't you just ask Miss Xia."
Gu Nianbin's hand that knocked on the table froze, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You contact her."
Zhou Ting said yes, and turned to go out. It turned out that she was wrong. She mentioned Xia Xiaowan, but Gu Nianbin didn't object, which proves that Gu Nianbin also knew that it was not appropriate for Du Xiaoxian to appear on such an occasion, and he knew very well the distance between Du Xiaoxian and him. So, she must be wrong.
She thought of Xia Xiaowan again. She had never met her before, but she had invited her to dinner for Gu Nianbin. Xia Xiaowan's voice on the phone was very nice, and she spoke simply and without sloppiness. This shows that Xia Xiaowan is a capable woman, such a woman should be a good choice to accompany Gu Nianbin to the banquet.
When the call came, Xia Xiaowan readily agreed. Zhou Ting hung up the phone and began to contact the clothing brand business she often cooperates with. She is the chief secretary in name, but Gu Nianbin takes care of everything, big and small, by herself, so every time Gu Nianbin and his girlfriend attend the banquet It's all prepared by her.
Xia Xiaowan hung up the phone and stayed there for a long time. But the heart is ecstatic, which shows that Gu Nianbin has finally taken a step closer to her. Since having dinner at Gu's house that time, she went there again. To avoid suspicion, she chose to go when Gu Nianbin was not around. She drank tea and chatted with Fang Yaru and Gu Guangxian, and sat for a while before leaving. Afterwards, she never went there again, she had her own reserve, and she didn't want Gu Nianbin to think that she was a pesterable person.
Her waiting was not in vain, Gu Nianbin finally took action, and invited her to attend the Chamber of Commerce dinner, what this meant was self-evident. Xia Xiaowan looked out the window, but what appeared in front of her eyes was that stern and elegant face. She liked him, and when they met for the second time, she made no secret of her affection for him.
She doesn't pay much attention to wealth. Although her uncle has always been in charge of the family business, it doesn't affect her status as a wealthy daughter. What she likes is Gu Nianbin, who is mature and stern, with extraordinary bearing. If such a man is gentle, he will What is it like? Xia Xiaowan was looking forward to it very much. Although Gu Nianbin always looked gentle and polite every time she saw her, she knew that there was only politeness and rustiness in that gentleness, and the smile was always on the lips, far from reaching the eyes. Now, with a good start, she believes that one day, Gu Nianbin will show her a sincere smile.
Xia Xiaowan picked up the coffee and took a sip. The bitter black coffee tasted sweet in her mouth. When she thought of that outstanding man, she couldn't help but want to laugh. She could even imagine when she took Gu Nianbin's arm into the room. When she was in the banquet hall, how many pairs of envious eyes would cast on her. The next day's headline on the entertainment section of the newspaper would definitely be a photo of him and her. Although it was just a photo, at least for a short period of time, everyone would think that she had a very close relationship with Gu Nianbin.
The two heroes of the Gu family have always been the darlings of the media. Shao Baiqing is a high-profile publicity, attracts bees and butterflies, and never tires of it. He has followed countless celebrities, big and small, and is a frequent visitor to the entertainment board. Gu Nianbin is low-key and introverted, and basically appears on the financial section, but as soon as he is photographed with a woman, he will immediately appear on the entertainment section. Xia Xiaowan still can't figure it out. Gu Nianbin is not from the entertainment industry, and those who accompany him are also He's a high-society lady, why is his news conference on the entertainment section? It's often the headlines, but the sensational effect is no less than that of a popular star.
For several days, Xia Xiaowan was immersed in this uncontrollable joy, so when Zhou Ting called and said that she would send someone to deliver clothes to her, she lied and said that she was nearby, and she just went to get it. Trouble sent. In fact, love also needs a little skill, Xia Xiaowan naturally created a chance for herself to meet Gu Nianbin.
But when she walked into Gu Nianbin's office, she unexpectedly saw a little girl sitting on the sofa with her chin propped up, watching cartoons.
The room is very quiet, and the little girl is also very quiet, even if she laughs and laughs occasionally, it doesn't make people feel noisy. Xia Xiaowan was very surprised, how could there be a little girl watching cartoons in Gu's president's office? She couldn't even put the stern President Gu and the little girl watching cartoons in the same picture, it was a bit out of tune.
Gu Nianbin buried his head in his business, and waited until someone approached before raising his head, smiling and nodding at her: "You're here."
Xia Xiaowan raised the paper bag in her hand and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou told me to come and get the clothes for the banquet."
Gu Nianbin frowned: "Didn't someone send it to you?"
"I happened to be nearby, so I came here by the way," Xia Xiaowan said, "I didn't bother you, I just took it and left, but it seems a little impolite not to come to say hello."
"Don't scratch me, it's almost time to get off work." Gu Nianbin was talking to her, but suddenly his eyes turned: "Where are you going?"
Xia Xiaowan looked back and saw that the little girl arrived at the door at some point and was twisting the doorknob to get out. When Gu Nianbin asked her, she replied, "I'll go find Miss Zhou."
Gu Nianbin didn't speak, just nodded.
When the little girl went out, Xia Xiaowan pretended to be casual and asked: "The little girl is quite delicate, is she a relative?"
Gu Nianbin smiled, pointed to the chair in front of her and asked her to sit down, and said, "She is my family's benefactor."
benefactor? How could a little girl who looked so weak be the Gu family's benefactor? Xia Xiaowan showed doubts, but Gu Nianbin obviously didn't intend to explain, and quickly changed the topic to the weekend banquet.
Seeing Du Xiaoxian coming out, Zhou Ting asked her, "Are you going to the bathroom again?"
Du Xiaoxian shook his head, and said softly: "The young master's girlfriend is here, it's not good for me to stay inside."
Zhou Ting has gotten to know her very well these days, so she smiled and said, "Yo, you also know that being a light bulb is not good!" Suddenly remembered something wrong: "How do you know that is the CEO's girlfriend?"
"She has been to the house, and everyone knows it."
Zhou Ting's heart moved, it seems that the boss really started to develop with that Miss Xia. She looked at Du Xiaoxian and sighed regretfully. She thought there would be a bloody Cinderella story, but she was wrong. The mature and calm boss seemed to know what kind of wife she should find. .
Xia Xiaowan chatted with Gu Nianbin for a few words and then got up to leave. She was a little disappointed that Gu Nianbin didn't invite her to have dinner with her. But that doesn't matter, the feast at the weekend is what counts. She gracefully turned around and went out, only to see Du Xiaoxian standing in front of Zhou Ting's desk, she smiled at the little girl, and nodded to Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting quickly stood up, this is the future proprietress!
"Miss Xia, let's go!"
"Well," Xia Xiaowan said with a smile, "Thank you for preparing the dress for me."
"Should be, should be." Zhou Ting nodded and bowed, sent her to the door, watched her turn into the elevator, then turned and smiled at Du Xiaoxian: "Okay, she's gone, you go in and watch "Bear Infested". "
