Yan Zhengqi's question made Wen Ying subconsciously withdraw her hand, but she didn't move after a tug, her hand was held by the man, and she didn't dare to struggle too hard.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhengqi asked again, tilting his head to this side even more, as if he noticed that something was wrong with her left hand.
She slanted her shoulders to block his sight, just about to say "nothing" to him, Gu Yuanzhou over there had already finished talking with the project manager, and at the same time, he finally let go of his hand, allowing her to "escape" from him .
Wen Ying took her hand back, supported the tilted data page on her knee, and shook her head.
"It's okay, listen carefully."
When the bidding meeting was over, as soon as they got up together, Gu Yuanzhou who was beside her generously praised her and said, "That's a good speech."
Yan Zhengqi raised his chin, like a hedgehog launching a natural defense in case of danger, and said provocatively: "Mr. Gu still has time to admit defeat, and Mr. Wen's ability is obvious to all."
I don't know if it was to suppress his old enemy, but he suddenly became a wife blower, picking a few cases where Yan's was better than Gu's, to highlight Wen Ying's ability.
Building one's own momentum, suppressing and deterring the other party, is not wrong from a business strategy point of view. But it is quite interesting to say these words to Gu Yuanzhou.
Although there are no friends in the business field, he and Wen Ying have a close relationship with each other, and they will always reveal a little information in the process of exchanging inquiries, both sides have. She also asked him for advice on the direction she was not good at, but he didn't know at the time that she was preparing for this bidding meeting.
"I know." Gu Yuanzhou's face remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly after hearing that, "Mr. Wen has outstanding abilities. Our Gu family also has the heart to recruit such talents, but I don't know if Mr. Wen has the will."
Yan Zhengqi's goal was achieved, and while his expression was proud, he couldn't help mocking: "Mr. Gu is really good at daydreaming, wanting my wife to work for you?"
"I think, which company to work for should depend on whether the company's philosophy and model agree with her, not on the basis of relationship." Gu Yuanzhou's eyes fell on Wen Ying's face, "What does Mr. Wen think?"
Yan Zhengqi rushed to answer in front of her: "In this way, she is also the most compatible with Yan's, otherwise she would not have won the recognition of the company with her ability in just three years. Yan's is the most suitable company for her."
"That's not necessarily the case."
"President Gu really wants to poach someone, so it's not impossible." Yan Zhengqi snorted softly, obviously not taking it seriously, "It's just that the price is too high, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."
Gu Yuanzhou smiled, and did not continue to argue with him, but said: "We will wait and see."
The result of the bidding was that Gu's won in the end. When the news came, Yan's project team members were downcast, but Wen Ying's encouragement made them quickly adjust their mentality and prepare for the next task.
The reality is that it never depends on people's will. Even if Wen Ying is very good, she has exerted 100% of her ability, but in this project, they are not as good as Gu's in terms of objective conditions. Her efforts can only make Yan She has the strength to fight, rather than locking in success, both winning and losing are possible, so even though she lost, she was calm.
In the catering industry, no one can eat the whole cake and monopolize the market, whether it is Yan's or Gu's, they are all leading companies, but they are not the only leading companies. Gu's won this project, and if he devoted his staff to it, his control in other areas would be relatively weakened. Wen Ying took the opportunity to direct the people to encroach on their market.
Gu Yuanzhou just suggested a treat to make up for her feeling of failure one second ago, but she was caught off guard by her killing her back the next second, and he couldn't help saying during the call: "I really can't take you lightly."
"Since Mr. Gu wants to poach me, I have to show the value worthy of Mr. Gu's favor, right?" She sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and said casually.
"Angry?"
She didn't respond.
"I didn't say the word 'offer'." He guessed which sentence she was offended by, and tried to prove his innocence.
"Business is like chess. Mr. Gu, please take a good look at the chess player sitting opposite you when you are playing the game. If you don't know if someone has suffered a loss, you can only blame yourself." She stated that she was a chess player, and It wasn't a pawn they were vying for, followed by a sentence that hit the heart like an arrow, "You made such a proposal, and you have bad intentions in itself."
Obviously, whether he said it or not, it must be blamed on him.
Gu Yuanzhou couldn't help laughing, "I sincerely want to invite you to Gu's. Well, I made the request on an inappropriate occasion that made us feel embarrassed. I apologize."
She didn't make jokes along with him, and she dismissed this article with a relaxed attitude, only saying: "Don't do this in the future."
"… good."
He felt other meanings from her tone, and couldn't help but quiet down with her. Neither of them mentioned the little private gesture of avoiding this embarrassing situation.
Not long after the bidding meeting, it was the Chinese New Year. Yan had a special family gathering for relatives to connect with each other at the end of the year, to hear about the achievements of the people around them during the year, to compare each other, and to intrigue.
Wen Ying was choosing clothes in the room and asked Aunt Zhang to give her advice.
Aunt Zhang has been working in their home for a long time and has a good relationship with them. They occasionally ask her to be a consultant and a reference for trivial daily matters. Seeing that Sakura couldn't choose right and left, she was obviously very concerned about such an occasion, so she couldn't help laughing: "I don't know how to choose for big occasions, why don't you ask Mr. to choose."
These words made Wen Ying's thoughts flutter.
In the first year of her marriage with Yan Zhengqi, because she is a new daughter-in-law, her ability is not bad. Although Yan Zhengqi's parents are dissatisfied with her background, they are still polite to her on the surface. Don't dare to go too far. In the second year, he happened to make a wrong decision, which almost brought down the subsidiary company. The man who had always been the favorite of heaven was ridiculed, so naturally he couldn't care about her.
Although she is capable, it is nothing to the Yan family. The Yan family has a great career, and to them, there are talents everywhere. They have no shortage of outstanding leaders, and no shortage of people who can bring them huge profits every year. What they want more is the heir of the Yan family. Yan Zhengqi is an only child, and what parents and elders want for Wen Ying is a child. There is no Shang Ke in the first year, but she doesn't see any movement in the second year. Their attitudes have already changed. Occasionally, she would be called to dinner to show affection, and when Yan Zhengqi made a fuss too much, her father-in-law would also reprimand him—mostly for the sake of Yan’s group and their son’s personal reputation—but these things were not resolved in the second half of the third year. After that, things went from bad to worse for her, and it became difficult for her to walk.
She didn't say a word, and Aunt Zhang said again: "I think Mr. has behaved very well recently, and you should have noticed it. Live life, that's how it is, there are constant bumps and bumps, big and small, and you can't be called out if you hold your breath." Life is getting better. Right now, he has the intention of repenting. If you pass a step, the threshold will be considered as passed, and life will be better and smoother in the future."
Wen Ying silently hung up the dress she didn't like.
"Ma'am, it's not easy for you, I can see it." She sighed, "But listen to my advice, you can't let it go, what's the point of being awkward?"
"Aunt Zhang..." She hesitated to speak.
Aunt Zhang seemed to notice something from her expression, and immediately said: "I think these clothes are old, and they should be dressed brighter for important parties. Why don't you just ask Mr. to go shopping with you and pick out a new one?" , what do you say?"
When Wen Ying went to look for Yan Zhengqi, it was rare to find him in the study, with books of different thicknesses spread out on the desk, frowning with a troubled look on his face.
She knocked on the door and put a cup of hot drink on his table, "Coffee."
He raised his head and glanced at her, and took it up to drink with dignity. It was cooked according to his taste, Yan Zhengqi knew it as soon as he drank it, and his brows relaxed accordingly.
"I see that you seem to be upset about something these two days." She said.
He didn't notice her careful observation of him, but the moment he heard the question, "I didn't get this project, I'm worried that my dad will say something, he attaches great importance to this project, and even asked if he needed a job from the head office." I told him you were fine, so he didn't care. Now that I lost to Gu, I don't know how to explain to him."
She paused and asked, "Are you blaming me for screwing up the project?"
"No, it has nothing to do with you."
"The project that I messed up has nothing to do with me. You make it clear that if there is any problem, we will solve it together."
"You do not understand… "
"How do I understand if you don't tell me?"
"Okay, don't worry about it." He said impatiently, "I'm already devastated, can't you let me be quiet for a while? Yes, Mr. Wen, you are very powerful, but it's not that you don't understand or can't solve some things .”
The words of argument had reached her throat, but she suppressed them. After a moment of silence, Wen Ying asked him: "I haven't bought the clothes for the party yet. I want to buy a new one. Are you free to accompany me to see it?" She His fingers curled up unconsciously, and if you look carefully, you can find the tension hidden behind the plain attitude.
Yan Zhengqi didn't even look at her, he just focused on the report on the desk, "Use my card to swipe, I don't have time."
When Gu Yuanzhou first came out of the society, he liked to use drag racing to relieve stress and emotions. He was also a young son of a rich family, and he also gathered around a group of people who liked to do this. Later, his mentality became more and more stable, and such an exaggerated and unsafe project like drag racing was replaced.
But occasionally, it’s just an invitation, and I still drive out with them for a couple of laps, just to relax.
After running around smoothly, five or six sports cars of different shapes were parked on the empty suburban road, all with smooth lines and eye-catching colors, which are very ornamental. A few men were standing or leaning, puffing and chatting next to the front car.
"Hey, you really don't want to play anymore?" One of them nodded, "You have to have some fun in life. If you don't go for two laps, you don't have passion."
Gu Yuanzhou leaned his back to the car door, removed the slender cigarette stem in his fingers, shook his head with a smile.
"Just kidding, what is Mr. Gu's status now? If there is an accident with the racing car, you will be responsible?" One of them joked, "Mr. Gu is now out to play without a girlfriend, but with a secretary instead. He loves his job and works hard!"
He pointed to Shen Ye who was opposite, and winked at Gu Yuanzhou with an ambiguous expression, "Female secretary."
"Don't talk nonsense, he is just an ordinary employee of the company."
"Hey, look at your baby, why are you justifying? I've heard people say that Mr. Gu has gotten very close to this ordinary employee recently..."
As soon as this person finished speaking, the other person noticed Gu Yuanzhou's expression, just thought he didn't like others to tease these private matters, and changed the subject, "Don't say, the project that Mr. Gu just won is really not something ordinary people can eat Yes. Look at the Yan family, the husband-wife cooperation has not been successful, so how capable is he, tsk tsk."
Although they are all in the same circle, those who play with Gu Yuanzhou naturally have a problem with Yan Zhengqi.
"Yan Zhengqi's wife is of ordinary background, right? She is quite powerful. He is also funny. He wanted to marry this woman back then, but now he is fine. He can only play for three years. I heard from Yan's people that they are just pretending to be superficial. effort."
"As good as his wife is, if I were to change it, I would also shrivel. A strong woman, you want to have a romantic night with her, she will talk to you about work, you want to have sex with her, she will talk to you about the report, wow, Yan Zhengqi is facing Can such a woman really get hard?"
His words sparked bursts of laughter, but within three seconds of laughing, someone kicked him hard on the knee.
"What's wrong?!"
"Don't say a few words." Gu Yuanzhou took a puff of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and crushed it with the tip of his shoe, "accumulate some morals."
The others looked at each other, somewhat inexplicable, the person who first brought up this topic said: "Speaking of which, the woman he married is named Wen, what is her name?"
At this moment, a car sped past, but suddenly stopped at the intersection not far ahead, the door opened, and the woman got out of the car in a state of embarrassment, bent over and vomited by the grass.
"Wen Ying?" Someone murmured.
"Yes, that's the name!" The man clapped his hands, but found that Gu Yuanzhou's expression was wrong. His eyes kept looking to the side, and stayed on the drunk woman.
small theater:
Gu Yuanzhou: Drunk driving
Wen Ying: Children, please don't imitate, this is a wrong behavior, and it is irresponsible for the personal safety of yourself and others.
Yan Zhengqi: (Interrupting) Maybe she's pregnant.
Wen Ying:? ?
