Chapter 64 A Knife Hanging Over His Head
Because of the cold weather and the snow, most of the people in the company were late.Gu Shi'an entered the company 3 minutes before he was late, the company was very deserted and there were not many people.

Xiao Wang, who used to be fairly early in the past, was also late. Gu Shian made coffee and turned on the computer before she hurried into the office.

Seeing Gu Shi'an, she wailed that this month's full attendance was ruined again, and went to get a cup of hot water to drink.

She was exaggeratedly cold, her hat, scarf and gloves were all thickened, and she was roundly dressed like a ball.

After drinking a glass of water, she felt the heating in the office, so she took off her hat and gloves, and then handed a document to Gu Shian. These are all customers who need Gu Shian to call back.

Gu Shi'an took a look and said, "I have to go out at noon later, and if I have something to do later, I will postpone it until tomorrow."

The client introduced by Qin Tang, she called yesterday.But it wasn't her who picked it up, it should be her assistant.He only told them that Manager Xu had gone to a meeting, and hung up when he came back to call later.

Calling back is just a polite remark. She is not a big shot, so how could anyone call her back.It is not appropriate to call again, the best way is naturally to make a trip.

Xiao Wang nodded in agreement.

After ten o'clock, Gu Shi'an checked the time, took out the business card Qin Tang gave him, studied it, and then went out.

Manager Xu and his company are located in a remote place, and they need to transfer two buses to get there.There are traffic jams everywhere in this weather, Gu Shi'an made some calculations in his mind and took a taxi.

Judging from Qin Tang's tone, Manager Xu is not easy to get along with.She went there during working hours, and if she was busy, she might not see her.She was going there just before lunch, and Manager Xu was going to have lunch anyway, so he might meet her.

It's not peak season, and the road is not very congested.But the location is relatively remote, and it was already 11:30 when Gu Shian arrived.

The company office where Manager Xu works is a low-rise low-rise building. In winter, there is no heating, and the air conditioner is not turned on. It is cold and cold when entering the door.

Although the environment is not very good, but the staff is in good order.There was no noise at all until lunch time.

Gu Shi'an didn't call again, and went directly to the front desk.

The front desk wasn't surprised to hear that she wanted to see Manager Xu, and asked her to call after a while.She didn't know what she said over there, so she hung up the phone and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, Manager Xu is in a meeting and I don't have time for now."

Gu Shi'an just smiled, nodded, and said, "Manager Xu is busy, um... can I sit and wait over there? Manager Xu will come down for dinner later, right?"

The front desk probably didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned, the smile on her face froze, and then she said: "You are welcome. It's just that Manager Xu often forgets the time when he is busy, and he may not have time when he gets down. "

This is to tell Gu Shi'an that even if he waits, he may not see anyone.

Gu Shi'an was not discouraged at all, nodded and said, "Thank you, please wait for Manager Xu to come down and call me."

She had never met anyone, and did not know them.

The front desk nodded perfunctorily.Gu Shi'an walked to the side of the cold wooden chair and sat down.

Although there is no wind and snow inside, it is not much warmer than outside.Gu Shi'an moved his hands and feet from time to time while sitting.She was sitting not far from the door, and when she came in and out, every time the door opened and the cold wind came in, she couldn't help shivering.

At twelve o'clock, the employees in the company began to go out for lunch.But Manager Xu was nowhere to be seen.Gu Shi'an looked towards the stairs from time to time, and checked the time from time to time.

In the end, even the receptionist who went to eat at the end came back and did not see Manager Xu.

The weather was so cold, the front desk probably didn't expect Gu Shi'an to sit for so long, so he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.Poured her a cup of hot water and said, "Drink some water, don't catch a cold in the cold weather."

Gu Shi'an quickly said thank you and took the water.

The girl sighed and said, "Manager Xu is a very busy person. If you wait here for a while, she may not see you when she comes down. I heard that she is going to pick up customers at the airport this afternoon."

She looked at the time as she spoke.

Gu Shi'an just smiled now, and said seriously: "We can also talk on the way to the airport."

She has been persistent to this point, but the front desk can't find anything to say.He gave her a sympathetic look and went back to her place.

It's not pitiful for her to sit here in such a cold weather.

Gu Shi'an didn't think she was pitiful. When she was with Peng Xue, Peng Xue was a desperate man. She once arranged to wait for the manager of a certain company downstairs for a week.I also braved the heavy rain to chase a certain client who was busy on a business trip, and when I came back, I was drenched in the rain because of a car breakdown.

Looking back now, during those days, it seemed that there was inexhaustible energy.She never felt tired.

Probably because there is no way to retreat, so there is no choice but to move forward.

Gu Shi'an was slightly in a daze, at this moment, the receptionist stood up and called loudly: "Manager Xu, do you want to go out?"

Her appearance was obviously reminding Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an immediately stood up, gave a grateful look to the girl at the front desk, and walked towards Manager Xu.

Manager Xu is probably in his forties and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses.A face is serious and old-fashioned.Following behind should be her assistant, who looks 24 and five years old.

When Gu Shi'an came to her, he immediately introduced: "Hello, Manager Xu, I'm Gu Shi'an from Chenli." As she spoke, she handed over the business card respectfully with both hands.

Being blocked, Manager Xu looked impatient. He looked back at the assistant and said, "What did you do? Anyone can join the company?"

She didn't show any face at all, and she didn't reach out to accept the business card that Gu Shian handed over.

Gu Shian was embarrassed.The assistant coughed lightly and said, "Miss Gu called yesterday. I told you that you probably forgot." She probably felt that it was not easy for Gu Shi'an to wait all morning, so she added: "She I came during your meeting, and I didn't bother you because you were busy all the time."

Xu Wei's face didn't relax at all because of the assistant's words. He glanced at Gu Shi'an and said lightly: "My schedule is already full today. You have waited for two hours. I will give you 5 minutes now." time."

Although she didn't directly refuse, but given 5 minutes, it was impossible to talk about anything at all.

Gu Shi'an politely said thank you, and then hurriedly said: "I know you are busy, so I dare not waste your time. I will just talk with you in the car."

She looks like dog skin plaster.

Xu Wei glanced at her, left without saying a word.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what she meant, but fortunately the assistant motioned her to follow, and she followed quickly.

Gu Shi'an didn't waste time, and went straight to the topic as soon as he got in the car.And gave Xu Wei the materials he had prepared.

Xu Wei just flipped through it casually and threw it to her. He said coldly, "I don't want to read any of your stuff. Our company has a lot of people. What I need is a reasonable decoration plan that can make the best use of the space." Wei Wei After a pause, she glanced at Gu Shi'an with a half-smile, and then said: "Since you have come here, you should know that I am notoriously hard-nosed, my decoration budget is not high, and the workers I don’t worry over there, I need you to supervise the whole process. Don’t cut corners for me. Of course, the premise of these is that you have to come up with a reasonable design plan.”

It is almost impossible to supervise the whole process, and her budget is not high.This is obviously embarrassing Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "I will drive out the design plan overnight when I go back, and try to show it to you in the shortest possible time."

Xu Wei originally wanted to embarrass her, but she didn't expect her to go downhill.Her complexion was a bit ugly, but it is hard to go back on what she said, so she hummed lightly and said to the driver in front: "Stop."

This is to drive Gu Shi'an out of the car, Gu Shi'an is sensible, packed up his things in a hurry, and asked: "Can I go to the scene to see?"

Xu Wei's complexion was not very good, and he called Assistant Cao.

The car had already stopped, and Assistant Cao at the front said to Gu Shi'an, "I'll send you the blueprint later."

It's okay if you can't go to the scene to look at the drawings, Gu Shi'an thanked him, and said goodbye to Xu Wei politely, and then stepped aside.

Xu Weisao didn't even glance at her, and the car quickly drove away.

Gu Shi'an was relieved now, and his whole body became more relaxed.When I looked around, I realized that it was far away from the urban area, so I stopped the car on the side of the road and rushed back to the company.And call Xiao Wang, to stay and work overtime tonight.

Assistant Cao was more eloquent than Manager Xu. Gu Shi'an sent the drawings before he arrived at the company.Gu Shi'an looked at it.

It was past three o'clock or almost four o'clock when she returned to the office, and before she entered the office, she saw Luo Yun coming in with a bag.

Gu Shi'an thought that she had just come back from the outside, but Xiao Wang beside him lowered his voice and hummed, "It's so arrogant, I only came to the company at this time."

With Mr. Qu behind him, this shelf is naturally big.

Since returning from the reception that night, Xiao Wang's wishful husband has not been found, no matter how you look at it, Luo Yun is not pleasing to the eye.From time to time, the mouth is about to vent.

Gu Shi'an had nothing to do with her, so he said a lot of words helplessly, and went into the office.

Gu Shi'an had to work overtime at night, so he called the old lady early, saying that he would be back late tonight, so he didn't have to wait for her to come home.

In the past, I always felt that the company was empty, but now I feel much more at ease staying in the company.

After making the phone call, she stood by the window in a daze for a while before returning to the office.

Xiao Wang ordered takeaway early and was placing an order. When he saw her coming back, he asked her what she wanted to eat.

Gu Shian is not picky, he just said that he can eat anything.Xiao Wang now ordered two claypot rice.

Gu Shi'an ignored her and got busy with work.

The takeaway was also late on a snowy day, and Xiao Wang complained several times to the delivery boy before he was late.

Gu Shi'an was only halfway through his meal when his phone rang.At this time, she didn't know who it was, she took out her mobile phone, only to find that it was Gu Su who called.

It was a rare thing for her to call her.Gu Shi'an didn't want to answer at first, but worried that the old lady might have something to do, so he picked up the phone and gave a hello.

Most of the Gu family members are thick-skinned, and they obviously never get along, but Gu Su is like a little sheep at this moment, and said: "Cousin, it's me."

The last time she put on this tone was when she got into trouble at school and wanted Gu Shi'an to be blamed for her.I don't know what happened this time.

Gu Shi'an didn't even bother to ask her what's the matter, so he was about to hang up immediately.

Gu Su on the other end of the phone seemed to guess that she would hang up, and immediately said: "Grandma asked me to ask when you will come back?"

The question was a bit inexplicable, and she didn't call to say that she would go back.I don't know if the old lady asked her to make the call or if she made the call herself.

But she is not free these days, so she replied: "I am busy during this time."

Gu Su on the other end of the phone stopped talking now, and after a few seconds, he said hesitantly: "My brother asked you, can you ask your brother-in-law out for dinner tonight?"

Gu Su's elder brother, Gu Qian, also Gu Shi'an's cousin, has always been idle.But there are so many brains.Most of the things that Gu Su did could not be done without his advice behind the scenes.

He has always disdained Gu Shi'an, and he also knows that the relationship between Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao is not good.Now let her ask Chen Xiao out for dinner, without even thinking about it, she knows there must be something wrong.

Gu Shi'an didn't want to get involved in his messy affairs, and even if she opened her mouth, Chen Xiao might not come out.

Without thinking about it, she said, "I'm working overtime tonight, so I don't have time."

If it was normal, Gu Su would definitely sarcastically ask her if she couldn't make an appointment.But not today, she became anxious on the phone, and said through gritted teeth, "Gu Shi'an, why are you so cruel? You miss my brother..."

Before she finished speaking, the phone was robbed, and Gu Qian said impatiently: "Are you going to ask him out?"

There was a hint of threat in his tone.

It is estimated that there are not many people who beg for help as arrogantly as them, so Gu Shi'an said flatly, "No time."

After she finished speaking, she didn't care how angry the other side was, and hung up the phone directly.

Gu Su and Gu Qian are not so easy to let go, they immediately called again.Gu Shi'an didn't answer this time, turned the phone to silent, and let them call no matter what.

The phone screen had been on for so long, and finally turned off completely.Gu Shi'an buried his head in his work and never looked at his phone again.

She worked overtime until after ten o'clock, and then returned to the old house.

The old house was quiet. She looked at the shoes at the entrance, only to realize that Chen Xiao hadn't come back either.

Her tense nerves were slightly relaxed, and she went upstairs gently, then changed her clothes and washed.There were many things on her mind, and she fell asleep not long after she collapsed on the bed.

Just as he fell asleep in a daze, the lights in the room came on.Gu Shi'an opened his eyes, and met Chen Xiao's face which was very close.

He was like a ghost, and he came over quietly.Gu Shi'an was startled, but he forcibly restrained himself from moving.

Chen Xiao stretched out his hand to loosen the tie around his neck. Jun had an inscrutable smile on his face. He looked at Gu Shi'an from above with one hand propped up, and said, "My brother-in-law is looking for me today."

After he finished speaking, he lazily turned his side and leaned against the head of the bed.

Gu Shi'an didn't react for a while, but when he did, he realized that the brother-in-law he was talking about should be Gu Qian.

There was a thud in her heart.

Chen Xiao lazily added: "He bought me a drink."

What he said was quite meaningful.

Gu Shi'an had a bad premonition in his heart.She clenched her fingers subconsciously and said nothing.

Chen Xiao did it on purpose.He has been married to her for more than a year. If he really recognized Gu Qian as his brother-in-law, Gu Qian would not call her to ask her to ask him out.

Her mind was a bit messy, and before she could figure it out, Chen Xiao suddenly approached her again and said, "Aren't you curious, what is he looking for me for?"

Chen Xiao has always been a person who doesn't do unnecessary things.He met Gu Qian, probably before he met Gu Qian, he already knew why he met him.

Gu Shi'an tightened his fingers, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's none of my business."

Chen Xiao clicked his tongue and said, "No wonder my brother-in-law said you are cruel, it is true."

Originally thought he was going to say something, but he didn't speak again after saying this.

The more he was like this, the more uneasy Gu Shian felt.She has seen Gu Qian's ability to cause trouble before.

Most of the troubles he caused were settled by her second uncle behind his back.He found Chen Xiao this time, which meant that her second uncle didn't know about it.

This shows that this matter is shameful.

Gu Shi'an's heart was like a cat scratching, and he forcibly restrained himself from moving.She still couldn't hold back, and asked, "What does he want from you?"

Chen Xiao originally closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes.He glanced at Gu Shi'an with a half-smile, but didn't speak.

With him like this, Gu Shi'an originally thought he wouldn't say anything.But after a short pause, Chen Xiao lazily said: "It's not a big deal, just asking me to borrow money."

His tone was very casual, as if it was not worth paying attention to.

Gu Shian's nerves tensed all of a sudden.Gu Qian will find Chen Xiao, so the borrowed money will definitely not be a small amount.

Her intuition told her that this matter would definitely not be as simple as borrowing money.

She was anxious in her heart, trying to calm herself down, and asked, "How much did he ask you to borrow?"

Chen Xiao's face suddenly moved closer to Gu Shi'an, and he said with a smile: "Didn't you say it's none of your business? Why are you asking so much?"

Gu Shi'an looked away, and said lightly in a slightly hoarse voice, "Curiosity."

Chen Xiao gave a low laugh, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

He seemed to be in a good mood, Gu Shi'an closed his eyes, his body froze and did not move.My mind is a mess.

Gu Qian borrowed money from Chen Xiao, judging from Chen Xiao's behavior just now, she was sure that it was definitely more than just a simple loan.

She was irritable, and felt inexplicably that this matter was like a knife hanging above her head, which would fall down at any moment.

Gu Shi'an tried his best to calm himself down, and just lay there with his body stiff.I plan to wait for Chen Xiao to come out and ask again.

I don't know if she was too anxious or what, time passed extremely slowly, and it took a long time before the door of the bathroom opened.

Her tense body relaxed slightly, but Chen Xiao didn't go to bed for a long time.

After finally waiting for him to go to bed, he reached out and turned off the light, turned his back on Gu Shian and closed his eyes.

Gu Shi'an naturally knew that he was not going to talk about anything anymore, so she had to swallow the words in her stomach.

She couldn't fall asleep for a long time, but Chen Xiao, who had whetted her appetite, quickly breathed evenly.

Gu Shi'an didn't fall asleep in a daze until the middle of the night, and the next day she didn't even eat breakfast before going out.

She called Gu Su in the car, but Gu Su's cell phone was turned off.She also had to give up.

After all, she was still uneasy, so she called Gu Su again during lunch.This time it got through, but no one answered.

Gu Shi'an hit him a second time.

This time Gu Su answered the phone quickly, sneered, and said, "Aren't you busy? What are you calling now?"

There was an undisguised sarcasm in her tone.

Gu Shi'an didn't bother to play around with her, so he asked directly, "What did your brother ask Chen Xiao for last night?"

Gu Su hummed twice on the phone, and said, "What's none of your business?"

Gu Shi'an was annoyed, and said coldly: "What kind of kind do you think Chen Xiao is? I just want to remind you, don't..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Su over there. She laughed and said slowly: "I said cousin, are you jealous? My brother-in-law was called by me last night. You are not jealous, are you?"

Gu Su's tone was full of pride and showing off.

Gu Shi'an really did not expect that it was Chen Xiao who was her date last night. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, and said indifferently, "I just want to remind you..."

Gu Su was impatient, and immediately said: "Thank you, my brother will take care of his affairs. I won't bother you, a busy person, to worry about it."

She hung up the phone right away.

Gu Shi'an didn't call again, he threw the phone aside, and stretched out his hand to press the space between his eyebrows.Let yourself be still.

Gu Su refused to say what was the matter, but instead sneered at her, which further proved that there must be something tricky.

She was irritable and it took her a while to calm down.After slowly finishing the unfinished meal, I got up to make coffee.

She felt uneasy, and called her grandma when she came back from making coffee.Mrs. Gu is the same as usual, she probably doesn't know anything.Only then did Gu Shi'an heave a sigh of relief, and put the matter aside.
