Chi Nuan checked Gu Ningzi's itinerary for the next day. She has a board of directors at Yunchu in the morning, and will have lunch with the two existing investors of Spider. In the afternoon, she will have a project seminar at the company.
Chi Nuan searched for the address of the private dental hospital in Guanluo, and considering the travel time with the company, the consultation could only be arranged after 4:30.
In addition, He Zhen also sent a document with several pages, which listed Gu Ningzi's living habits, dressing preferences, contact information of various people in various circles in daily communication, etc. No matter how big or small, it's all content that Chi Nuan needs to be familiar with.
One by one, the time is connected, and a strange and familiar Gu Ningzi is constructed in front of Chi Nuan's eyes.
Chi Nuan watched it over and over again, and finally thanked He Zhen for the message from the bottom of his heart.
He Zhen: "??"
He Zhen: "Assistant Chi, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. It's already past 2 a.m. on your side, so pay attention to rest."
Early the next morning, Chi Nuan made an appointment with Guan Luo for a dental appointment in the name of Gu Ningzi. Guan Luo started to laugh when she heard Gu Ningzi's name. When Chi Nuan finished speaking, she smiled and asked, "Who are you? Her assistant?"
Chi Nuan thought of the many zeros behind the monthly salary in black and white: "Yes."
Guan Luo: "As an assistant to such a cold person, you should wear a lot of clothes every day, right?"
Chi Nuan: "..." What a cold joke.
After this was finalized, Chi Nuan sent the result to Gu Ningzi. Gu Ningzi called directly, her tone full of doubts: "I fell asleep last night?"
Chi Nuan: "...I fell asleep."
Gu Ningzi changed her question: "How long did you read before I fell asleep?"
Chi Nuan: "About ten minutes?"
Gu Ningzi: "..."
Gu Ningzi hung up the phone.
Chi Nuan grabbed the phone and looked blank. After a few minutes, she sent a message to Gu Ningzi: "Do you need me to accompany you to the dentist?"
Gu Ningzi didn't reply.
Near noon, Mr. Ji came to pick up Xiao Wutong to play as scheduled. Chi Nuan hitched a ride with Mr. Ji to the bakery where he worked as a student.
The moment he stepped into the store, the phone rang, and Gu Ningzi replied, "Get to the company before 4 o'clock."
Chi Nuan put away her phone, put on her work clothes, and went into the kitchen to make cakes.
The proprietress was chatting with her: "How many years have you been here? I'm so curious, Xiaochi, who is this birthday on January 1?"
Chi Nuan wore a mask and rolled her eyes.
The proprietress said "Huh", is this year different from previous years? She saw Chi Nuan smiling.
…
It was only after 3:30 when Chi Nuan arrived at the company, and the seminar was not over yet. Across the glass wall of the conference room, Chi Nuan saw Gu Ningzi sitting in the main seat with her arms folded, Meiji's face without emotion.
I don't know if the people who work with Gu Ningzi will be distracted by her face... Chi Nuan's first reaction turned out to be this.
Secretary Yang made tea for Chi Nuan and asked her to wait. Chi Nuan thought it would take a while, but before the tea began to drink, Secretary Yang suddenly stood up from the station: "President Gu."
Chi Nuan turned her head, and Gu Ningzi stopped outside the door of the secretary's room, her narrow skirt pinched her waist, and her body line was very elegant.
Chi Nuan also stood up, and Gu Ningzi's red lips parted slightly: "Let's go."
Chi Nuan carried the cake and followed Gu Ningzi, and the two went down to the parking lot on the negative floor. Gu Ningzi was about to get into the driver's seat, but temporarily changed her mind. She threw the car keys to Chi Nuan, opened the rear door by herself, and sat on it.
Chi Nuan: "..." That's right, this is indeed part of his job.
Chi Nuan got into the car and handed the cake to Gu Ningzi, and said nervously, "Gu Ningzi, fasten your seat belt. ... After I got my driver's license, I haven't driven much."
Gu Ningzi looked at the cake: "What is this?"
In the dimly lit underground garage, Chi Nuan's smile is like a fascinating silver moonlight: "Happy birthday, Gu Ningzi."
It's a pity that I've known you for so many years, but I haven't had any birthdays with you.
Gu Ningzi glanced at Chi Nuan unexpectedly, took the cake, and put it aside: "Drive."
Chi Nuan had studied the route and was already familiar with it, but her unfamiliar driving skills still made her extremely nervous. Suddenly remembering the phone call in the morning, Chi Nuan was distracted and asked Gu Ningzi: "You asked me about falling asleep last night—"
A car overtook from the right, and rushed to the front with a swish, Chi Nuan was so frightened that he braked to the end.
The car stopped suddenly in the middle of the road.
Gu Ningzi: "I think you'd better not be distracted now."
Chi Nuan said with lingering fears, "You're right."
After driving to the dental hospital without any risk, Chi Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and started to park in the designated parking space.
… But, it seems, it didn’t go well either.
A few minutes later, Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi in the rearview mirror. Gu Ningzi and her looked at each other in the mirror, unbuttoned the safety buckle calmly, and said, "Let me get out of the car first."
Chi Nuan slammed on the brakes again.
Inertia made Gu Ningzi sway. She didn't say anything, didn't wait for Chi Nuan after getting off the car, and went straight to the hospital.
... I don't know how Gu Ningzi is feeling now, Chi Nuan guessed that it would not feel much better than when she first got in her car in the year she met...
Chi Nuan stopped for more than ten minutes, and finally stopped in the prescribed area perfectly like a textbook. It's just that when you step on the ground, your legs are a little soft...
The doctor warmly sent Chi Nuan to the rest area outside Guanluo's clinic. Gu Ningzi was sitting there. Before the appointment time, the diagnosis and treatment of the previous customer was not over yet.
Chi Nuan walked over, met Gu Ningzi's gaze, and sat down beside her.
It's still quite embarrassing. I can't read the financial report well, and I can't drive the car well. With such a high monthly salary, I feel sorry for Gu Ningzi when I think about it...
The corners of Gu Ningzi's mouth slowly rose.
Chi Nuan bit her lower lip, really a bit... embarrassed, the blush uncontrollably surfaced on her face.
Gu Ningzi looked away.
Chi Nuan exhaled, and in the next second, a woman moaned intermittently in the consultation room with the door closed: "Ah... um... Doctor Guan, be gentle..."
"I'm already very gentle, and you won't feel it any longer."
"Ah... you hate it!"
"I still hate it? To wash your teeth in person, who else has this kind of treatment?"
"..." Chi Nuan's impression of Guan Luo added an indescribable subtlety after the cold joke.
After the female customer who came to wash their teeth left, Chi Nuan saw Guan Luo's deity.
Inside the open white coat, there was a plaid shirt and ripped jeans showing his entire leg. His hair was either long or short, all tied behind his head. When he took off his mask and showed Gu Ningzi the Panoramic Teeth CT that had just been released, the corners of his mouth were puckered. With a wicked smile, he said, "Are you willing to touch it?"
The smile made her look sullen.
Gu Ningzi leaned against the back of the chair and flicked her fingers on the table.
Chi Nuan asked Guan Luo, "Doctor Guan, will it be difficult to deal with such wisdom teeth?"
After Chi Nuan asked this sentence, Gu Ningzi turned her head slightly, showing an unconscious listening posture.
Guan Luo said: "This tooth of hers, although it is prosperous, but luckily, it did not touch the nerve, it is a minor operation. Just use a knife to lightly cut the gums, drill a few times with the drill, 'huh' ~ You can pull it out. It's very fast. It will only take half an hour before and after the anesthesia. ... Now do some swelling treatment, and when the inflammation subsides, you can pull it out. Anyway, I unconditionally cooperate with President Gu's time. "
Guan Luo pointed at Gu Ningzi to the treatment machine not far away.
"..." Chi Nuan said, "...don't scare her."
Guan Luo said: "Why are you scaring her? Gu will always be afraid? But you, Miss Assistant, didn't pull your teeth. Why are you so pale? Are you worried?"
Chi Nuan: "…"
Guan Luo smiled and looked at Chi Nuan: "I heard your voice in the morning, and I guessed that you must be beautiful. Generally speaking, people who speak softly are beautiful, and they are as I expected."
"You go out first." Gu Ningzi finished talking to Chi Nuan, and got on the treatment machine: "Guan Luo, I have plans later, please cooperate with my time now."
Guan Luo blinked at Chi Nuan and put on his mask again.
Chi Nuan sat back in the rest area, and ten minutes later, Gu Ningzi came out. Guan Luo stood at the door of the consultation room and made a drinking gesture to her: "If you have time, make an appointment for a drink."
Gu Ningzi didn't express her opinion, and went back to the parking lot with Chi Nuan. Chi Nuan asked her what itinerary was next and where she was going. Gu Ningzi adjusted her navigation while covering her left face and sat in the back seat.
Mr. Ji called in the middle of the way, Chi Nuan looked at the time on the dashboard, it was close to six o'clock. She did not dare to drive with one hand, consulted Gu Ningzi for advice, and pulled over to stop.
Xiao Wutong's excited voice hit Chi Nuan's eardrums: "Mom, Mom, I just watched Transformers! It's so cool! Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, bang bang bang, it's so cool when it transforms!"
It was so loud that Chi Nuan couldn't help removing the phone from his ears. Mr. Ji's deep and pleasant laughter followed, and he said to Chi Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, there are a lot of your favorite dishes tonight, we will wait for you to come over. have dinner together."
Chi Nuan hurriedly replied: "No need, I won't go."
Xiao Wutong: "Mom, are you still working?"
Chi Nuan: "Yes, you have to be obedient. If your mother doesn't go, you have to eat obediently."
…
The car followed the navigation all the way to the east of Yuncheng, and when it entered the entrance of the garden-style villa with the two ancient characters "Gu Zhai" engraved unimpeded, Chi Nuan thought that he might be at Gu Ningzi's grandfather's house now.
"You drive the car away, I will contact you in advance if something happens." Gu Ningzi finished talking to Chi Nuan, opened the door and went out.
"Gu..."
Chi Nuan's eyes chased out from the back seat, and found that the box of cakes she made by herself was left on the seat.
... It doesn't matter, it was the same before, she would eat the birthday cake for Gu Ningzi.
The sense of gap is emerging anytime, anywhere, Chi Nuan told herself to get used to it, she will get used to it, Gu Ningzi just forgot.
Feeling gloomy in her heart, Chi Nuan reset the navigation, the route had not yet been planned, a crisp sound came from the back seat, Gu Ningzi opened the car door, reached out, and took the cake away.
"... Gu Ningzi." Chi Nuan chased after the car.
Gu Ningzi turned around.
Chi Nuan nodded her left cheek: "Eat less, your teeth."
Gu Ningzi: "You drive more."
Chi Nuan: "…"
Chi Nuan didn't leave until Gu Ningzi's figure disappeared behind the door.
In the next few days, Gu Ningzi did not contact Chi Nuan. Chi Nuan knew that she was busy with work, and Yun Chu was eaten by Spider. This was the largest domestic investment project handled by Gu Ningzi so far, and it attracted attention in the industry.
Chi Nuan asked her if her gums were any better, and she replied with a concise "um".
Until the fifth night, Chi Nuan had fallen asleep, and the phone beeped a message prompt.
He Zhen sent Chi Nuan a screenshot of the chat record. In the record, Gu Ningzi sent her the location of the bar, followed by two words: come and pick it up.
It was only when Chi Nuan understood that He Zhen's voice call came over: "Assistant Chi, have you seen the screenshot of the message?"
"I got it, I'll go right now." Chi Nuan put the phone between her ears, got out of bed, and reached for clothes, hearing He Zhen muttering at the other end: "The boss shouldn't be drunk, right? She's taking anti-inflammatory drugs. …”
He Zhen transferred the location to Chi Nuan, Chi Nuan changed clothes and went out, and went to Xiao Wutong's room to see him.
Xiao Wutong slept soundly.
Chi Nuan followed the location to the bar, and He Zhen's message popped up at the top of the screen: "Assistant Chi, you don't need to worry, this type of emergency rarely happens. I guess the weather in Yuncheng is bad now?"
He Zhen: "BOSS has had a car accident, has a leg injury, joint pain in wet and cold weather, and can't drive."
