Luo Lian silently picked up the spoon and quickly drank the porridge in the bowl.
Gu Ziyi was holding her mobile phone and was replying to Xu Ruanruan's message. Xu Ruanruan took a picture of what she and Xiang Shen were eating, and then sent a photo of the two of them comparing "yeah" to Gu Ziyi.
The two of them went to have barbecue together. Look at the particularly tempting barbecue in the picture, and then look at the porridge and side dishes in front of you.
Gu Ziyi felt a little painful. She didn't eat anything, but she still reimbursed her for the meal.
Luo Lian finished the porridge, and Gu Ziyi put down her phone, "Shall I take you home?"
"Then how do you go back by yourself?" Luo Lian asked her.
Gu Ziyi tugged her lips and said, "Take a taxi."
Luo Lian will not return to Luo's house today, "I'll take you home first."
"Okay." Gu Ziyi pushed the car keys to him, then stood up and went to the counter to pay.
Luo Lian was always following her.
This time Luo Lian drove, and Gu Ziyi sat in the passenger seat.
Maybe it was because the carriage was too dull, so Gu Ziyi took the initiative to start the conversation, "What major did you study abroad?"
"Still majoring in finance."
Gu Ziyi remembered that Luo Lian had received a scholarship, "Your grades have always been pretty good."
"It's not bad, the results abroad are not so outstanding. There are talented people everywhere." Luo Lian drove the car and answered every question of Gu Ziyi seriously.
"How are you doing abroad?" Gu Ziyi glanced at him, "With your adaptability, you can live well no matter where you are."
Luo Lian smiled softly, a little self-deprecating: "You think too highly of me. I'm not particularly adaptable. I still had difficulty with the language at the beginning. I don't understand some slang, and my pronunciation is not standard, and I will be laughed at."
Think about it, it’s hard to be alone.
I have no relatives and no friends. I am like an alien in the crowd.
Just endure it like this, endure it, and when the time comes, everything will be fine.
Now the time has come and he is back.
Once he completely resolves the Luo family matter, he will be free.
He admitted that he was too vengeful and had no good intentions when he returned home. But none of this was directed at Gu Ziyi. He originally wanted to wait until the Luo family's matter was resolved, and he and the Luo family would be cut off. But there is a variable on Gu Ziyi's side.
If he really waited that long, Gu Ziyi wouldn't wait that long? She could always choose someone else.
So he needs to express his feelings for Gu Ziyi very clearly. Even if it would offend Luo Mingsheng, even if it would bore Gu Ziyi.
He actually didn't have many choices, he was always being pushed and forced to move forward. There is never a fork in the road to choose from. This time, he wanted to make the decision completely by himself.
So even if he angered Luo Mingsheng, he would not regret it.
"Didn't you fall in love abroad?" Gu Ziyi was a little curious. Because foreign girls are very enthusiastic and proactive. There are many beautiful faces and you will always be attracted to them.
Luo Lian said: "It's not based on my aesthetics."
Gu Ziyi especially wanted to say, "Then I'm just good at your aesthetics?"
Of course, Gu Ziyi would not be so arrogant.
"Have you been in love in the past few years?" Gu Ziyi didn't bother to answer Luo Lian's last question about love.
"No, I'm busy with work. Youwen started, then added value, expanded, and then got on the right track. I don't have time to fall in love." The best years of her life were all spent on Youwen. Every bit is her hard work.
She works really hard and spares no effort to make her dreams come true.
Many people who know Gu Ziyi admire her ability. People who were not optimistic at first began to admire Gu Ziyi.
The reasons for not being optimistic about Gu Ziyi are just those few points.
Gu Ziyi is a woman.
Gu Ziyi is very young.
Gu Ziyi didn't have much money.
Gu Ziyi has no rights.
Gu Ziyi has no work experience.
…
The latter ones can be ignored. The first issue of gender has been excluded by most people.
In the early days, Gu Ziyi received a lot of looks, a lot of opposition, and was ridiculed.
She endured it all and got through it all.
Use facts to prove that she is not weak and capable.
It took her six years to prove it all.
With such a busy schedule, she had no time for her private life.
Luo Lian was actually in a good mood. He was actually very lucky that Gu Ziyi had been very busy with work in the past few years. "It must be very hard."
Gu Ziyi raised the corners of her lips, "But it feels good to succeed. Especially when people who didn't think highly of you are shocked by you."
Her time was not wasted.
She really did something she dreamed of.
"What are your future plans?" Luo Lian asked her.
Gu Ziyi was slightly startled: "What?"
"You have worked so hard all these years for this goal. So after this goal is achieved, what will be your next goal?"
Gu Ziyi was silent for a few seconds, "When Youwen was completed, I was very happy. Then I watched it getting better and better, and there was still joy in my heart, but it was not as strong as the joy at the beginning. After achieving a goal, there is a feeling in my heart It’s all empty. Apart from Youwen, I really don’t have any other goals.”
The starting point of work is the success of Youwen, and there will be no end point in work, because Youwen must continue to make progress and move forward endlessly.
But apart from this matter, Gu Ziyi really...has no other goals.
After leaving Youwen, she was confused.
There is nothing I particularly like, nothing I particularly want to do. It became blank in an instant.
"You are amazing." Luo Lian looked forward, "I didn't think much of you back then. But you really succeeded."
Gu Ziyi smiled: "You didn't think much of me at that time, but you didn't say anything."
"You have always been very powerful, much more powerful than me." Luo Lian really admired Gu Ziyi. There are not many people who can stick to it like Gu Ziyi.
He himself does not have the courage to persist in something that no one is optimistic about.
"You are exaggerating. Your business acumen is much better than mine. Mingsheng's recent profits are very impressive, and you have negotiated several large cooperation projects. In comparison, the previous cooperation projects between Mingsheng and Gu are simply worthless. Mention it. You should have better partners." Gu Ziyi felt that the two previous cooperations Luo Lian signed with Gu were not worth it.
Because there must be many better partners than Gu's. Gu's price is not the lowest, nor is the profit it can bring to Mingsheng the greatest.
In fact, it is not equal at all.
What's more, Gu's business brought in large profits and reduced losses.
After all, Gu Ziyi should still thank Luo Lian. If the original breached contract had not been taken over by someone else, everything would not be as smooth as it is now. It is very likely that Gu Ziyi will be removed from the position of acting chairman as a result.
