After my cute childhood friend cheated on me, the school beauty begged me for forgiveness.

Gu Chen didn't tell all his opinions, just because no one would believe his thoughts, so it was enough.

Seeing Shang Danhong leave her seat and go out to make a phone call, she seemed to be thinking very carefully about whether to come to work in her new company. Gu Chen did not rush her and gave her time to think about it.

The official discussion is over.

As if he sensed something strange about the people around him, Gu Chen suddenly turned his head and looked to the side.

The freshly peeled shrimps were still steaming in the bowl, but they didn't move at all. Bai Xiaowan was carefully pressing her fingers against the wall of the bowl, and then quietly pushing the porcelain bowl forward, as if the porcelain bowl was getting closer and closer to her. The further away you are, the safer you will be.

"Junior sister, did you push her here specifically to ask me to feed you?" Gu Chen no longer scared her and asked with a smile.

"No no……"

Bai Xiaowan, who thought she had been misunderstood by Gu Chen again, raised her arms that were twisted together a second ago, and waved her hands in a panic like shaking a rattle.

Just wanted to explain.

But he didn't expect that Gu Chen had already picked up the bowl and fed the shrimps.

"What? Junior sister, do you dislike the shrimp I peeled?" Gu Chen found out and wanted her to eat well, so scaring her would be more effective.

"No...really not!" She responded in a very low voice. She didn't know whether it was because she was flushed or because she was afraid, but her face turned red. She wanted to refuse but was afraid that Gu Chen would misunderstand her. So she could only think of a reason not to eat, but she couldn't think of it. I didn’t know how to speak for a while.

"You don't dislike me but you are willing to eat. If you don't eat now, I will keep holding it." In front of her, Gu Chen went to the extreme of being shameless.

With that posture, there was a rogue feeling that if you don't eat, I will lift you up to eat. In Nuoda's restaurant, several people were seated near the corridor. After Gu Chen maintained this posture for a while, someone came to him in confusion. Watched here.

Bai Xiaowan looked around timidly with her peach blossom eyes, which looked wet as if they were stained by sparkling water. In the end, she could only narrow her eyes slightly and open her red lips that were tightly closed as if resigned to her fate.

The expression on her face when she bit the shrimp in her mouth was like that of an obedient palace maid who was forced by Grandma Rong to steal the emperor's meal and had committed a great crime.

"...I, I will eat it myself." Bai Xiaowan held the small white bowl and carefully ate each shrimp in a compromised manner.

I knew that Bai Xiaowan didn't eat because he was afraid that there wouldn't be enough shrimp.

There were actually quite a lot of prawns. It took her just a while to peel a plate of them. Shang Danhong came over to discuss business without even using her chopsticks. In fact, there were quite a few left.

Gu Chen didn't say anything more, picked up the lobster, peeled it, and fed it into his mouth.

The detail is that he seemed to have been eating, but very slowly, as if he was deliberately waiting for Bai Xiaowan to finish.

People with low self-esteem are often stronger. To take care of this girl's self-esteem, charity is definitely not enough, and she doesn't need other people's pity.

From another perspective, her low self-esteem and isolation were her protective shell. There was nothing to help her get out of this sense of security, and she had no intention of stepping in.

Helping solve her family's dilemma is the main task.

That's right...

Breaking into her world directly seems to be a very inappropriate and difficult thing to do... Of course, that is for others.

Gu Chen, who had scared her the first time they met, knew how to prescribe the right medicine.

Seeing that Gu Chen was also moving the chopsticks, Bai Xiaowan felt a lot more at ease, and suddenly her eyes came into contact with him. She quickly lowered her head, covered her ears and pretended not to notice, chewing slowly on the bowl full of shrimps.

only……

Her peach blossom eyes still occasionally raised, reflecting Gu Chen's fierce look, but inexplicable sadness surged into her heart at this moment, almost making her cry.

From high school to now, only when I'm around him do I feel like I'm cared about by people other than my family.

Sitting next to her was a big tiger who only threatened her. Bai Xiaowan, who was holding a small white bowl, silently ate all the shrimps. She felt much less hungry after standing in the bright sun for several hours.

Gu Chen just happened to finish eating.

"Huh... Gu Chen, I promise to go to work!" Shang Danhong walked in and breathed a sigh of relief, finally making plans.

It's not because she was squeezed out by similar companies in Nanjing City and has no place to go. On the contrary, if her management level goes to another city, there will definitely be bigger companies vying for her.

After just a conversation of more than ten minutes, I always felt that Gu Chen's new enterprise was different.

Furthermore.

This kind of operation is considered a very confidential matter, but Gu Chen spoke out his plan without reservation. Following this boss with an uninhibited smile and a determination to win, it seems that he can really create his own career and world. It really attracts her!

"Sister Shang, congratulations on making the right choice." Gu Chen was not modest. He wanted Shang Danhong's management experience and fair character. Shang Danhong wanted salary and the sense of accomplishment of helping to build the company.

The two shake hands, which is equivalent to officially starting cooperation.

"I'll go check out."

At this moment.

Bai Xiaowan, who had been silent throughout the meal and had no sense of presence in Shang Danhong's heart, came out and spoke in a low voice.

When the two of them looked at each other, she was carefully taking out pieces of crumpled money from her pocket. Except for two fifty pieces and a few ten yuan pieces, the others were all coins of a few cents, but look at the seriousness. As I counted them, I found that together they were just enough for this meal.

Shang Danhong's face was not very good. It could be seen from the girl's clothes and the way she often lowered her head when she came here that her family background was not good.

But I didn't expect it to be so bad. In this location in this city, except for taking the bus, I almost never see anyone carrying a penny coin with them.

Although she felt distressed, there was no reason for her to deliberately help pay the bill as she hadn't touched a single bite of her meal.

Gu Chen said at this time: "Wait."

The treat was indeed a treat for her, and she certainly couldn't really make her pay for it.

Hearing the voice from behind, Bai Xiaowan, who was walking towards the counter, was frightened, "Captain...is there anything else you can do?"

"..."

I don't know why, but her voice, which is as gentle as her temperament, and the calls of "captain" always give people the feeling that a small undersea column is about to set off to rescue Patrick Star.

In terms of deceiving people, Gu Chen glanced at the door and opened his mouth: "Our company has company rules. Dinners with more than three people are considered internal team building within the company, and the logistics department will reimburse 75%."

Bai Xiaowan then remembered that Gu Chen seemed to have said that they were from the same company.

"And what we just talked about was business... You can ask Sister Shang, she is your new leader, we have this policy, right?" Gu Chen coughed twice, and while pretending to speak seriously, he said He winked.

Shang Danhong is an old working man. When discussing business, he can tell by the casual and nonsensical words of his boss whether he wants to eat or sing karaoke next.

But for a moment, he didn't react to Gu Chen's obvious and low-level hint of winking.

But thinking about it, I couldn’t explain it clearly, so I asked in a low voice: “Boss, when did this rule come into being in your company?”

"...just got it!"

He couldn't understand this explicit statement, and Gu Chen was really afraid of hiring someone as a senior executive in his company.
