Seeing the female secretary in front of her, for a moment, Gu Xi almost thought she saw Song Kexin.
In fact, just talking about appearance, this person and Song Kexin are not exactly the same.
The facial features of the two people are only about four or five points similar, but the body shape is seven or eight points alike.
And what is really most like is the feeling and temperament in the gestures.
- I can't tell which point it is, but it just feels very similar.
Gu Xi commented inwardly.
Suddenly, a memory flashed through Gu Xi's mind, and she was stunned when she saw the secretary in front of her: She remembered it!
It was also described in the original novel.
It means that the male protagonist, that is, the scene when Lin Yize met Song Kexin for the first time: 'The woman in front of him awakened the most painful memory buried in his heart. This face gradually overlapped with the face in his memory. It doesn't come out where it's like, but it's like'.
- Could it be that this person is also a character in the novel
Gu Xi stared blankly at the person in front of her, and couldn't help but guess.
But in the next second, Gu Xi shook his head again, suppressing this too fantastical idea in his mind.
"It shouldn't be possible..." Gu Xi whispered, then nodded as if to convince herself, and said to herself, "Yes, it just feels like it, it can't be such a coincidence."
Having said that, it was hard for Gu Xi not to care about this woman who was very similar to Song Kexin.
—
Fortunately, the focus of the people present was on the cooperation of this project at this time, so they did not notice the abnormality of Gu Xi at this time.
Gu Shao looked over the materials handed over by the other party, and then he commented in a fair way: "The conditions offered are good, and the requirements are within a reasonable range. Mr. Qiao has taken great care as the entrusted person."
Xu Fei, who was on the side, looked at the key content in the materials, and nodded his head: the project of 'Maritime Transportation Monitoring System' is not a project with high returns, and it is not bad for the early stage.
This Qiao Luo can put their NTN interests on this account, it can be said that he has worked hard.
Hearing Gu Shao's words, Qiao Luo immediately put a smile on his face, and said frankly: "I took this order with the purpose of establishing a long-term friendly cooperation with you, Mr. Gu, of course I can't let you lose. already."
"Also," after a pause, Qiao Luo straightened his back a little, and said again: "I also ask Mr. Gu to have a hundred hearts. Except for the current two and the one 'on the road', I am the only one left. I have also contacted more than a dozen companies, all of which are formal official channels. At present, the contact is very smooth, I am sure of the success rate, and I will try to talk about it according to the current conditions, what do you think?"
Gu Shao glanced over the material in front of him, then looked at Qiao Luo again, and then said, "This is the bottom line."
Hearing this, although Qiao Luo felt a little pressure, he was secretly relieved: NTN's technology is indeed second to none, and it has an excellent reputation in overseas markets, not to mention, NTN also has some Chinese official factors in it. . Being able to establish cooperation with NTN is the biggest purpose of Qiao Luo's trip. As for the conditions offered by Gu Shao, it is no problem to grit his teeth and work hard.
"No problem." Qiao Luo responded, stood up again, and said to Gu Shao, "Then I would like to thank President Gu for your trust."
Gu Shao also got up and shook hands with Qiao Luo: "Happy cooperation."
—
"President, the presentation downstairs is ready." At this moment, a secretary came in and said.
Gu Shao nodded and said to Qiao Luo, "Then ask Mr. Qiao to come and have a look with me."
Qiao Luo smiled and nodded: "It's an honor."
Several people walked out of the reception room.
After taking two steps, Gu Shao found that there was a bit of space beside him, and only then did he realize that Gu Xi was still sitting in the same place, with his head buried in a tangled face, wondering what he was thinking.
—Who was eager to follow me just now
Gu Shao complained in his heart, and called Gu Xi helplessly.
"Ah?" Hearing Gu Shao's voice, Gu Xi came back to his senses.
"gone."
"Ok?"
"Don't you want to go to the demonstration?" Gu Shao said.
Gu Xi then remembered the purpose of his coming here, nodded stunnedly, ran to Gu Shao's side, and followed to the research room on the 8th floor responsible for developing this project.
Gu Shao and Qiao Luo walked in the front and talked about the overseas promotion and layout of this project, but Gu Xi couldn't understand it, so they just followed behind Gu Shao quietly.
Next to Gu Xi was Qiao Luo's secretary.
Gu Xi couldn't help but glanced at Lisa again.
Seemingly aware of Gu Xi's gaze, the other party turned his head towards Gu Xi with a friendly smile.
Gu Xi also twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled at the other party, but his mind was spinning quickly.
Listening to the conversation between Qiao Luo and Gu Shao just now, the other party seems to call his secretary 'Lisa'
Gu Xi recalled the plot of the novel, there was no one named Lisa, and there was only one person who resembled Song Kexin...
Gu Xi thought for a moment, and finally raised her head to look at Lisa, then opened her mouth and called out, "Aunt Li."
Hearing Gu Xi calling herself, Lisa was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed.
Lisa thought that Gu Xi had misunderstood that her English name was pronounced as 'Li', so she explained to Gu Xi: "My surname is not Li, Lisa is an English name, my surname is Meng, Meng of Confucius and Meng, and my Chinese name is Meng Zixin. ."
"So that's how it is." After listening to the other party, Gu Xi smiled at the other party, showing a somewhat embarrassed and embarrassed expression.
In fact, at this time, Gu Xi's heart was already full of turbulent waves.
- Meng Zixin!
It's really her! In the novel, Lin Yize's white moonlight!
Originally in the novel, the heroine Song Kexin was not Lin Yize's first love. Before meeting Song Kexin, Lin Yize had a first love, and this first love was Meng Zixin.
Lin Yize and Meng Zixin are childhood sweethearts. After entering adolescence, it is logical to have an unforgettable love. However, later the Meng family's business had problems, and they immigrated abroad at home. Meng Zixin chose his family and gave up his relationship with Lin Yize.
Meng Zixin's 'betrayal' became a lingering pain in Lin Yize's heart, and it also made her a Bai Yueguang that Lin Yize loved and hated in his heart. Later, Lin Yize found a lot of women, and every woman had the shadow of Meng Zixin, but they were far worse than Meng Zixin.
Until Lin Yize met Song Kexin, the destined heroine.
The subsequent plot is similar to the plot in every dog blood novel: Lin Yize makes Song Kexin a substitute lover, transfers his hatred of Bai Yueguang's betrayal of himself to the substitute, and humiliates and tortures Song Kexin in various ways. In the end, after going through all kinds of tossing, Lin Yize fell in love with Song Kexin as a stand-in, and the two finally came together.
As the male protagonist of Bai Yueguang, Meng Zixin also made a simple appearance in the later stage of the novel.
The appearance of Meng Zixin triggered a conflict between the male and female protagonists, and the two even had a big quarrel over it and fought each other coldly.
Fortunately, Meng Zixin in the novel's plot only came to China to handle some work, and only stayed in City B for a few days before leaving without causing much impact. The misunderstanding between Song Kexin and Lin Yize was also resolved after an indescribable episode. . At this point, the knot of 'Bai Yueguang' was completely unraveled.
…
Regarding the matter between the hero and the heroine, Gu Xi didn't care at all, but, when this scene in the novel happened, it happened to be when Gu Yaobai submitted some so-called 'evidence' and the Gu family was investigated and got into trouble.
Originally, there should be at least two years before that episode happened, but Meng Zixin's appearance still made Gu Xi vaguely worried - if Lin Yize met Meng Zixin now, would that episode happen earlier, or not? What kind of butterfly effect will be produced, affecting other plots.
In fact, Gu Xi is not quite sure how much the plot of the novel will affect the reality. After all, since she found Gu Shao, many things have already changed.
However, she still had to remind Gu Shao and her grandfather when she had a chance to be careful that Gu Yaobai was playing tricks behind his back.
Gu Xi secretly took this matter to heart.
As for Meng Zixin, Gu Xi was more curious than jealous of her.
After all, in the novel, Meng Zixin is only a supporting role who actually appeared in only two chapters, and the role of his appearance is only to arouse a necessary contradiction between the male and female protagonists.
Also, it feels like this person is quite normal.
Gu Xi secretly glanced at Meng Zixin next to her, and muttered in her heart.
—
Gu Xi thought about the plot in the novel, but did not notice that although Gu Shao was talking to Qiao Luo and the technical manager of the R&D team, her attention was on her.
Gu Shao originally thought that Gu Xi would be interested in the technical demonstration of the 'Maritime Transportation Control System', so he brought her here. As a result, after entering, Gu Shao found that the girl kept her head down and looked absent-minded.
Only Gu Xi secretly looked at Meng Zixin several times and Gu Shao saw it.
Before, when Gu Shao asked Wang Wu and the others to investigate Lin Yize, they also found a woman named 'Meng Zixin', which was the Lisa in front of him.
To some extent, Lisa and Song Kexin are indeed very similar.
Therefore, Gu Xi will pay more attention and curiosity to Lisa, Gu Shao can understand.
It's just, isn't this girl paying too much attention to this Lisa
Gu Shao frowned slightly.
Based on what he knew about his daughter, even if he saw someone who was very similar to someone he knew, he shouldn't have such a big emotional reaction.
But now it seems that the appearance of this Lisa seems to have had a big impact on Gu Xi.
Or is Gu Xi thinking about Song Kexin through Lisa
—
Both father and daughter have their own thoughts.
Until the end of the demonstration ahead.
Although Qiao Luo took over this business, the purpose was to discuss NTN's good, but after watching the whole system demonstration, he was still amazed: the operation mode of the entire control system is far more powerful than what he imagined from the text introduction. If the ideal point of equipment can be successfully built, maybe an invisible big net can be built on the southeastern high seas.
Qiao Luo couldn't help but clapped his hands: "This control system is amazing!"
If you can see the demonstration just now, the governments of those countries may be willing to double the price.
"Don't worry, President Gu, I will speed up the progress and connect with other aspects!"
"In addition to the time, I will try to stay in the country as much as possible. If you have any needs, I will cooperate at any time." Qiao Luo assured Gu Shao.
Now, NTN has been listed as his biggest customer by Qiao Luo, of course, everything must be prioritized. What's more, this demonstration allowed Qiao Luo to see huge long-term benefits from this project that he had not seen before.
"In addition, Lisa will stay in City B during this time. If I'm not around, you can also contact Mr. Gu and her."
Gu Shao glanced at Meng Zixin, and the other party nodded towards Gu Shao, Xu Fei and others, saying, "If you need anything, you can call me at any time."
Gu Shao was noncommittal.
—
After talking with Qiao Luo about the project, the other party originally invited Gu Shao to have dinner together, but Gu Shao rejected it with a simple 'have an appointment'.
It wasn't a special date, but it was a promise that Mr. Gu would take Gu Xi back to the main house for dinner.
The two went to the main house of the Gu family.
As soon as Gu Xi stepped into the courtyard, she was successfully frightened by the festive atmosphere inside.
Especially the small sapling of a small sycamore tree on the C position in the yard. It is covered with red ropes. Although the red ropes are not heavy, they may be hung too much. The illusion of being bent.
"Why are there so many hangings on it? Does it have any special meaning?" Gu Xi couldn't help asking. If it weren't for the many red ropes hanging from the tree today, Gu Xi would not have noticed this.
Butler Zhou on the side looked in the direction of Gu Xi's finger, and couldn't help but smile and explained, "Those were hung up by the old gentleman."
After that, Butler Zhou told Gu Xi about the tree's origin.
"That tree was planted by the old gentleman himself when you were found." Originally, he wanted to plant peach and apricot trees, but Gu Laozi felt that the meaning was too shallow and not good enough, so he planted sycamore.
This tree was taken care of by the old man himself. Under the careful care of the old man, it grew quite fast. Compared with the previous small saplings, it was much thicker.
As for the special meaning of the red rope on it, it doesn't really count.
"It's just what the old man usually finds. The red ropes with good meaning and good omen are hung on the top." Today, when he heard that his granddaughter passed the exam, the old man was so happy that he 'purchased' a large number of red ropes. , All the brains hung up.
The butler explained.
In the past, Mr. Gu didn't believe this, but as he got older, he liked to find something with good meaning to entrust it.
After listening to the explanation, Gu Xi's mouth twitched slightly: "..." Life is overwhelmed with high hopes.
Helpless and moved.
"Grandpa Zhou, please remind Grandpa, don't hang it up, don't break this tree." After all, it is also a tree 'concerning' her future. If you hang on like this, you may not be able to afford it.
…
Today's Gu family not only has a grand atmosphere, but even the dishes on the dinner table are comparable to the festival.
The uncle of the Gu family complained in a low voice: "It's too exaggerated", and he was given a scorn by the old man Gu.
"What are you exaggerating?" Old Man Gu snorted: "If you do well in the exam, of course you have to celebrate. This is the tradition of our Gu family, and there are clear rewards and punishments."
Hearing this, Gu Xuan was ashamed: "..." At the beginning, the three of them were also very good, and they also won the first place. Why have they never seen the old man celebrate
It's a mistake, and the old man's punishment is quite 'a sensation in the neighborhood'.
Mr. Gu is a typical intergenerational parent.
—
At night, the father and daughter stayed in the main house.
Back in the room that belonged to her, Gu Xi found that there seemed to be more dolls and clothes in the room.
Hearing the knocking on the door outside, Gu Xi thought it was Gu Chenyi and the others, but when he opened the door, he found out that it was Gu Shao.
"dad?"
"I did well this time." Gu Shao said.
After leaving the school, going to the center to talk about the project, and then to the main house, Gu Shao hadn't found a chance to comment on Gu Xi's exam results this time.
Hearing Gu Shao's words, Gu Xi's face suddenly showed a smile, and he couldn't help it.
—She didn’t know why, but she was very happy to hear Gu Shao praise her for being good, better than hearing 39 textbooks, better than hearing that the head teacher praised her specifically at the parent-teacher meeting, better than hearing that grandfather, uncle, aunt, and Uncle, they should be happy when they praise themselves.
Seeing the expression on Gu Xi's face, the smile in Gu Shao's eyes deepened a bit, and he asked, "What reward do you want?"
When asking this, Gu Shao suddenly thought of this girl's financial fanatic attributes, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
You can't always ask for money.
Gu Shao thought to himself.
As a result, in the next second, Gu Xi asked, "Is anything ok?"
"Yes," Gu Shao nodded, and added, "As long as it doesn't affect learning."
"Is that possible?" Gu Xi looked up at Gu Shao, her eyes sparkling.
Tonight, Old Master Gu sealed a big red envelope for her, Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi.
Judging from the thickness, it should be given according to their grades.
Gu Xi thought about going to the bank tomorrow to save it.
If Gu Shao also gives her a big red envelope, then put it in together!
Gu Shao: "..."
"No, change one." Gu Shao said.
Hearing this, Gu Xi was stunned: she just wanted money, and she didn't seem to want anything else.
Gu Xi lowered her head and thought for a while, suddenly thought of one, looked at Gu Shao again, and said excitedly, "I thought of one."
"what?"
"Come and see the finals of my 'Youth Creation Competition'!" After the re-judgment, Gu Xi and their group successfully advanced to the finals of the final competition.
The last session is a public exhibition. Each group will have an exhibition area to directly display the subject introduction and creative achievements of their own group.
That is to say, on that day, in addition to experts and invited reviewers, parents, relatives and friends, and ordinary visitors can also enter.
Gu Xi: "But if you don't have time, forget it."
Gu Shao: "Yes."
After a pause, Gu Shao said again: "I will go."
Will go no matter what happens that day.
—Gu Shao added in his heart.
Hearing Gu Shao's answer, the smile on Gu Xi's face widened, and his heart burst into excitement.
Thinking of something, Gu Xi's smile restrained a bit, and then she looked at Gu Shao with a guilty conscience: "Actually, I still have a game..."
