Gu Ye was tense all over, when he heard Qiao Yang's words: "Show your sincerity." He was relieved.
With a smile between his brows, he asked tentatively, "Is Latour okay? From 1900."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then an unbelievable surprise came: "...Latu of the last century? You are sure of it!"
The happy voice of a man came through the microphone, and he seemed to see the handsome man again, with his eyes curled and shining.
Gu Ye couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth, and his tone followed lightly:
"Actually, my father was an old friend with the owner of Chateau Latour when he was alive. Whenever the grapes are ripe, I go there for summer vacation, so I often receive out-of-print treasures from the owner."
Qiao Yang was ecstatic. For him, there was nothing more tempting than out-of-print red wine, which was from the last century!
As expected of the male protagonist in the novel, he has too many good things.
"Gu Ye, you are a god, how can I have such a powerful brother as you!"
He blew rainbow farts, and with a little greed, asked: "Then Gu always has other years, right?"
Gu Ye leaned on the chair with his entire body, and the exhaustion of work was completely dissipated.
With a never-before-seen smile in his deep peach blossom eyes, he deliberately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, does Master Qiao think a bottle of sincerity is not enough?"
Qiao Yang: "Enough, enough! Thank you Mr. Gu!"
Gu Ye hung up the phone, and then dialed Xu Weiling's number.
The corner of Xiaowan's mouth retracted and pressed down instantly, and his face became gloomy: "I said, it's pointless for you to do this, it's impossible for me and Qin Man."
"You listen to me first."
Xu Weiling explained calmly: "Manman just came back from Qiao Yang's house, although she didn't see you, she was very happy.
"Because Qiao Yang not only ate with her, but also played a happy birthday song for her. The two get along very well."
Gu Ye snorted: "So what?"
"so?"
Xu Weiling chuckled on the other end of the phone: "If Qiao Yang is interested in you, would he be so enthusiastic about entertaining a woman who wants to approach you?"
Xu Weiling asked Qin Man to find Gu Ye, originally to test Qiao Yang's attitude towards Gu Ye.
She slowly persuaded: "Aye, find someone who likes you, and follow someone you like, and you will get more."
"If Qiao Yang really cares about you, I won't interfere with you."
"But he didn't. If you spend your time on him, it's your loss."
Gu Ye interrupted her immediately: "Don't make any self-righteous misunderstandings. Qiao Yang and I are just friends."
"friend?"
Xu Weiling's voice was calm: "I have raised my son for more than 20 years, and I know what he is thinking in the blink of an eye."
"You have subordinates, colleagues, clients, rivals, but never friends."
"Manman is simple and obedient, and she is infatuated with you. She is still the only eldest lady of the Qin family. What does it mean to marry her?"
Xu Weiling said bluntly: "It means that you can get the industry that the Qin family has run for generations without any effort."
"It means that the achievements you and your father have worked hard for decades are almost equal to the benefits brought by marrying a woman."
"Aye, what are you hesitating about? We've come here all these years."
"That's your idea!"
Gu Ye interrupted him again, he could no longer pretend to be indifferent and gentle.
His expression was as cold as never before, and his voice was as low as calm before a storm: "You know the temperament and temperament of the child you have raised for more than 20 years."
"If what happened to Qin Man today happens again, you will see the Qin family breaking up with you."
Xu Weiling was silent for a while there, and sighed: "You have grown up, you are in power, and you have become disobedient and even threatened me."
"But you forgot how I worked among the Gu family's uncles like tigers and wolves in those years when I was a child, to keep the Gu family's inheritance for you."
"And how did you win over the old people on the board of directors, let them support you and me who have no support, and keep the Gu Group created by your father!"
"… mom!"
Gu Ye interrupted Xu Weiling for the third time, his face was forbearance, the hand holding the phone was too hard, the blood vessels burst out, and the joints turned white.
He said in a low voice: "...So, from now on, you don't need to do anything. I will manage the Gu family according to my ideas, and you just need to be your Mrs. Xu."
After turning off the phone, Gu Ye leaned back on the back of the seat and closed his eyes.
The feeling of exhaustion that struck again pressed down on the frown, creating layers of deep gloom.
Geng Hui stood aside cautiously, not daring to make any movement.
Gu Ye's attitudes on the two phone calls before and after are one of spring breeze and warm, the other of violent wind and rain.
And now his expression is even more gloomy and terrifying.
The atmosphere in the office was so cold that he didn't even dare to report on his work.
Gu Ye suddenly raised his head to look at him, and asked calmly, "You don't believe me if you say that Qiao Yang and I are friends, do you?"
Geng Hui was stupid, he never thought about it at all.
Mr. Gu is a person with clear faces and terrifying methods. He seems to be gentle and elegant, but he is born with a desire to control and win.
No matter how much the negotiation with hidden murderous intentions, the young man can still strategize and control the initiative quietly.
Such people are destined to be above one person, looking down on the existence of all beings.
It's not that he doesn't have friends, it's that no one deserves to be his friend.
But from the two phone calls just now, Geng Hui could sense something.
He hesitated and replied, "I believe, I believe. Young Master Qiao's character is quite good, and he is indeed a good friend."
～～～
Because the Qifengtai project was approved by Qiao Tiancheng.
On Sunday night, Qiao Yang booked a few boxes at Yemei and held a celebration party with the employees of the planning department.
There are many young employees in the planning department, and they all had a great time drinking, singing and dancing. It was gradually discovered that their young supervisor was not as cold as he had imagined.
In addition to some workplace conversations, he also tried to chat with Qiao Yang about some topics in life.
For example: what are your hobbies, have you talked about girlfriends, etc.
Qiao Yang did not forget the purpose of the celebration. He smiled and answered uniformly:
"I haven't thought about anything other than work. At present, I just want to bid for Xifengtai and get the development rights of Qifengtai from Mr. Qiao."
He looked at Li Songran again, raised his glass and shook it: "Also, I've been busy recently, and it's really thanks to Deputy Director Li who has helped me with my work during this time."
Li Songran was suddenly named, and hurriedly sat over and shook his head modestly: "No, no, this is what I should, and I would like to thank Young Master Qiao for his promotion and reuse during this period."
He sat down beside Qiao Yang: "I will work hard and never fail Qiao's love."
His attitude is sincere and his tone is sincere. If he hadn't found out that he was stealing the USB flash drive, Qiao Yang would definitely trust him.
"it is good."
Qiao Yang patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "After I win the Qifengtai development project, the position of director of the planning department will be handed over to you."
Li Songran is still very modest: "If Qiao Shao thinks I can be used, can you bring me into the development team?"
Gee, so loyal.
Qiao Yang raised his brows and smiled: "Of course, whoever of you wants to follow me will come with me in the future. Let's develop Qifeng Terrace together and make a big project!"
As proud as he had already won Qifengtai.
Liu Wen drank slightly and showed his loyalty with a big tongue: "Qiao Shao, I will always follow you, that is, I always do wrong things, don't think I'm stupid."
Qiao Yang took off the wine glass in his hand: "Don't drink any more."
"Yes!"
Liu Wen tried to sit upright, but still staggered: "If you don't let me drink, I won't drink. I'll listen to you."
Qiao Yang patted the back of his head: "Take a break while you are."
Li Songran reported to Qiao Yang, "Young Master Qiao, it's just that I heard that the Gu Group has reserved 800 million funds to compete with our Qiao Group for Qifeng Terrace. I'm worried..."
"Eighty million?"
Qiao Yang snorted lightly, raised his nose to the sky, and said proudly: "Then let's take one billion, two billion. Can't beat Gu Ye?"
Li Songran smiled at ease and complimented: "Of course, with you here, our Qiao Clan can definitely beat Gu Clan."
They are very loud, and the young employees around them don't know, so they just come over to compliment the boss:
"Yes, we can definitely win against the Gu family."
"The Gu family has only been established for more than 30 years, and our Qiao family has a history of more than 100 years."
"I'm proud to say it. Our background is much higher than Gu's."
"We can't beat the Gu Clan with a piece of Qifeng Terrace."
Qiao Yang sneered in his heart, with a comfortable and happy look on the surface, he stood up, raised his glass, and shouted, "Okay, I will definitely lead everyone to take down Qifeng Terrace!"
Gu Ye went back to the Jingshan villa and picked up a few bottles of red wine from the cellar.
When he returned to the Century Mansion, he rang Qiao Yang's doorbell several times, but got no response.
He quickly got the news from Geng Hui:
[Qiao Yang booked several private rooms of Yemei and held a celebration party with the employees.]
Gu Ye was sitting in the study, staring at the monitor screen, feeling restless and impetuous for the first time.
He actually expected Qiao Yang to be happy when he saw the red wine in his hand.
He went out of the house with red wine, rushed to Yemei, and found the box where Qiao Yang was.
The box was very lively, and even standing at the door, he could hear the uplifting and passionate voices inside:
"Young Master Qiao will win! Mrs. Qiao will win!"
"Take the Qifeng Terrace and defeat Gu Ye!"
"Defeat the Gu Group!!"
Gu Ye: …
The author has something to say:
Mr. Gu, who was looking for abuse for himself, gnawed his fingers against the wall: Why should I go to Yemei, why don't I stay at home and wait...
