Chapter 73
At seven o'clock in the evening, the party begins.But Mrs. Qu was still nowhere to be seen.Although she didn't come, Peng Xue, who had been on maternity leave for half a year, did.

She is a little plumper than when she was at work, and her complexion is also very good.

She seemed to know what Xiao Wang was looking at, and before the two of them said hello, she said: "Don't look, Mrs. Qu will not come. Mr. Qu went to study abroad this year, and Mrs. Qu took care of him." Mr. Qu is going to celebrate the New Year too."

She is still in business attire, with a meticulous look.

Xiao Wang was so resentful that he didn't dare to show it in front of her, so he smiled embarrassingly.

It was half a year ago that Gu Shi'an saw her last time. He looked into the hall and asked with a smile, "Are you coming alone?"

Peng Xue was a little lazy, and said, "Your brother-in-law is entertaining upstairs."

Gu Shi'an nodded now, and without waiting for her to speak, Peng Xue narrowed her eyes and looked at Luo Yun who was standing next to Mr. Qu, and said, "It's very popular."

She didn't take Luo Yun seriously. After saying this, she looked at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Is Manager Xu going well?"

Gu Shi'an nodded and said, "It's pretty smooth."

Peng Xue smiled and said, "Compared to before, I have improved a lot. Manager Xu has always been harsh, and I may not be able to win the contract from their company."

Her tone didn't seem to be modest. After she finished speaking, she continued, "Manager Xu is upstairs socializing. She and I are old acquaintances. Come up with me to say hello later."

There was some exclamation in her tone, it was not that she had never brought newcomers.But the one I like the most is Gu Shi'an.

Looking at the delicate and handsome little girl, she can endure hardships.What I did at the beginning was jerky, but I worked hard secretly.Seeing her, it was like seeing her former self.

Gu Shi'an should be fine.She and Peng Xue are both teachers and friends, so there is no need to say more polite words.After not seeing each other for half a year, Gu Shi'an asked about Xiao Baolai in her family.

Peng Xue, who has become a mother, has a much softer temper than before. When talking about the little guy, there is a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

Peng Xue didn't go there until Mr. Qu came over to call for someone.

She knew all about what happened in the company in the second half of the year, so she called Gu Shi'an to go there together.

Although she is on maternity leave now, she still has weight in the company.Calling Gu Shi'an together means that Gu Shi'an is hers.

She is like a legend in the company, and Luo Yun naturally knows her.Gu Shi'an and Peng Xue just passed by, before saying hello to Mr. Qu, she took a glass of wine and said with a smile: "This is Manager Peng, right? I'm Luo Yun, I've heard of you a long time ago, today I finally met a real person gone."

She smiled like a flower on her face.

Peng Xue didn't seem to hear it, and she didn't raise her eyebrows.He called Mr. Qu.

In front of so many people being ignored, Luo Yun's face turned red and white.

Qu is always an old fox, seeing that something is wrong, he let out a haha, and exposed the embarrassing scene to the past.Resentment flashed across Luo Yun's face, she had no face to stay any longer, so she found an excuse and left.

After the party started, Mr. Qu took the stage to give a speech.It's nothing more than saying something exciting and doing well in the coming year.

Although Peng Xue was away from the company for half a year, she still had to be on stage on such an occasion.

She was not as verbose as Mr. Qu, she left the stage after speaking in a few words, and asked Gu Shi'an to go with her to Manager Xu.

As expected, Manager Xu was upstairs, but she was as rigid as ever, and her face softened a lot when she saw Peng Xue.

Peng Xue was already an old fox in the shopping mall, after a few toasts, she retired and took Gu Shi'an away.

When she got out of the private room, she looked at the time and said, "I won't go downstairs, it's getting late, I have to go back. Xiaobao is going to make a scene later."

Gu Shi'an agreed, and wanted to send her downstairs, but she waved her hand and said no, and said, "Go down, your brother-in-law will wait for me downstairs." After a slight pause, she reached out and patted Gu Shi'an's face. shoulder, and said: "If you feel deserted during the Chinese New Year, go to our house to play. I am a housewife now, and I can play cards together when I come."

Gu Shian agreed with a smile, and sent her to the elevator.

Because of drinking, Peng Xue's face turned slightly red.Pressing the elevator, he looked at Gu Shi'an again, and said, "Your personality is just too dull, no matter in work or life, sometimes, don't wrong yourself too much."

She said that the elevator door opened, and before Gu Shian recovered, she entered the elevator.

When Gu Shi'an went downstairs, the downstairs hall was already full of noise. It turned out that it was time to distribute the year-end awards.Most likely, everyone would be more excited when they saw the banknotes. Mr. Qu's year-end awards are always in cash and sealed in envelopes.

This year-end award is given out from department to department, and Gu Shian and his department are at the bottom.Xiao Wang folded his hands beside her, and kept chanting the blessings of the Bodhisattva.

She plans to travel during the Chinese New Year, and all the funds are counted on the year-end bonus.

Seeing her look so funny, Gu Shi'an said, "You should ask President Qu to bless you."

Xiao Wang made a sharp cut, rolled his eyes, tugged at Gu Shian's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Guess, how much year-end bonus can that person give?"

She looked at Luo Yun who was standing next to Mr. Qu and handing out year-end awards for everyone.

She was very active and took over the jobs in the finance department.

Gu Shi'an patted her on the head, motioning her to keep talking.Xiao Wang stuck out his tongue now.

Soon it was the design department's turn. I don't know if it was deliberate or not. Colleagues came forward one by one to receive the year-end awards, but Gu Shi'an was not there.

When it was the last one, Luo Yun smiled and said, "The last one belongs to Senior Sister Gu." The envelope in her hand was enough, so she paused intentionally after she finished speaking, and then said, "This one belongs to Senior Sister Gu." Servings are the most important in our design department, please treat them."

This year-end bonus is awarded based on one year's performance. Seeing that they are paid more than themselves, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous.She only mentioned that sentence specifically.

The smile on Gu Shi'an's face was very light, and he simply said yes.

Mr. Qu naturally wanted to say a few words of encouragement, and when Gu Shian got off the stage, he cleared his throat and said, "On this occasion, I have one more thing to announce."

He paused, and then said: "Luo Yun came to the company and performed very well. After returning from vacation, she will be the deputy director of the design department."

No matter how excellent her performance was, she had only been in the company for less than half a year.As soon as Mr. Qu's words came out, there was an uproar immediately.

He also knew that the reason of 'excellent performance' was not tenable, so he immediately said that it was the last day of the year, let everyone eat and drink well, and wished all employees a happy holiday, and brought this topic to the past.got off stage.

Luo Yun smiled sweetly on the stage, President Qu stepped down, and she also left.

The position of deputy director of the design department has always been vacant, and no one thought that such a bomb would be dropped at the end of the year and Luo Yun would be promoted.

Although Mr. Qu covered up the topic, there was still a lot of discussion underneath.The few words that the seniors in the company have always been able to bear can't help but say a few sour words, and they don't have a beautiful female face.

Xiao Wang never expected that Luo Yun would turn around and become his immediate boss, and angrily complained about Mr. Qu.

In terms of qualifications, Luo Yun has no qualifications, and in terms of performance, there are many people who are better than her.Why did she take the position of deputy director?

No matter how dissatisfied the bottom is, it is a foregone conclusion, and complained a few words about eating and drinking.

Gu Shi'an also did not expect that Luo Yun would become the immediate boss, but she was much calmer than Xiao Wang.She just wanted to come and go to finish the project on Manager Xu's side, so she probably resigned.

Luo Yun was undoubtedly proud, and not long after, she brought a drink over to toast Gu Shi'an.The small circle around her didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, they talked about Gu Shi'an's generous year-end bonus.They toasted Gu Shi'an one by one with envy and jealousy.

Gu Shi'an knew that this was to give her wine, if Luo Yun respected Gu Shi'an, he could not drink it, but if others respected it, he had to drink it.On the last day of the year, she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness.Instead, he drank them all one by one, and said a few words on the scene.

Luo Yun probably wanted to avenge the slap in the face by Peng Xue just now, but after drinking a round, she found an excuse to respect Gu Shi'an again.

Naturally, Gu Shi'an would not drink any more, pretended to be drunk, and left on the grounds that he needed to go to the bathroom.

They did it on purpose, and the wine they took at that time was all spirits.Gu Shi'an's head was dizzy, and he regained consciousness after washing his face.

She didn't eat anything, and when she returned to the hall, Xiao Wang brought her some food and poured her another glass of drink.

Gu Shi'an just had a drink and didn't have any appetite at all, so he ate a little carelessly and asked Xiao Wang to leave her alone and play with her.She rests for a while.

There are naturally many programs at the year-end party.Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, and left under Gu Shian's urging.

Gu Shi'an's mind was so dizzy that he closed his eyes.

Probably because he didn't have a good rest, Gu Shi'an fell asleep in a daze.

She woke up from a dream, opened her eyes, and saw Luo Yun sitting opposite her.Seeing that she woke up, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said meaningfully: "Senior Sister Gu really slept deeply."

Her face was already torn, and Gu Shi'an ignored her.sat up.

She was not angry at all, took a sip of the red wine in her hand, smiled slightly, pushed the mobile phone aside to Gu Shi'an, and said, "Look, Senior Sister, are Young Master Chen and Sister Li Ran just like Jin Tong?" Like a jade girl?"

She giggled and laughed.

There is a video on the phone, and the decoration should also be in this hotel.Chen Xiao, Li Ran and several unfamiliar faces stood together, probably talking about something.

No wonder Li Ran disappeared after seeing Li Ran once when she came in.

Gu Shi'an's head started to ache, and he looked away from the video.Looking at Luo Yun indifferently, he said sarcastically, "You have good intentions. Just say what you want to say."

Luo Yun laughed, shook the wine glass in her hand, and said, "Senior Sister Gu is quite stable. I know that Sister Gu looks down on me, but Sister Gu doesn't think there is any difference between you and me, does she?" His voice became sharper, he leaned forward a little, and said word by word: "Senior Sister Gu, don't you think that you are the mistress between them? Speaking of which, I am not as thick-skinned as Senior Sister Gu, and I can still act So come on as if nothing happened."

When she said this, the smile on her face was even more vicious. She lowered her voice and continued, "Young Master Chen liked Senior Sister Li at the beginning. Senior Sister Gu doesn't know, right? I remember it was quite a sensation at the time, Senior Sister Gu should still Do you remember it clearly?"

Gu Shi'an's face turned slightly pale, and there were footsteps coming towards him.Luo Yun looked up and saw that it was Xiao Wang, the corners of her lips curled up in sarcasm, she got up and left.

Xiao Wang came in a hurry, glanced at Luo Yun's back, saw that Gu Shi'an's expression was not good, and asked, "Sister Gu, what did she tell you?"

Gu Shi'an's eyes were a little dull, he shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's nothing."

She looks like this, that woman must have said something.Xiao Wang said angrily: "She's just crazy, and what she says is farting. What's the point of fussing with a fart?"

She is very smooth when she speaks foul language.

Gu Shi'an just smiled, nodded, and echoed, "Well, you're right."

Xiao Wang couldn't help but be beaming this time, fearing that Gu Shi'an would think about messy things again, he talked about the interesting things he encountered just now to divert Gu Shi'an's attention.

Gu Shi'an laughed cooperatively, picked up the wine glass and drank slowly.

When the party came to an end, she was going to leave with Xiao Wang.Before leaving, she heard Manager Dou calling her, so she let Xiao Wang go first.

Manager Dou didn't show up much that night, and he didn't know where he drank. He must have drunk a lot, his face was flushed, and he asked Gu Shi'an to call her a driver in a low voice.

Gu Shi'an also drank a lot of wine himself, so he managed to find the waiter in the hotel and asked someone to call a driver.

The waiter's action was very fast, and he called the driver over in a short time, and then helped Manager Dou to the parking lot with Gu Shi'an.

Waiting to send Manager Dou away, when Gu Shian went upstairs, all the people in the company had already left one after another.

She let out a sigh of relief, took her bag and went downstairs.The outside of the hotel was deserted, it was drizzling, and the ground was wet.The dim yellow lights stretched the shadows of the buildings long.

Gu Shi'an stayed at the door for a while, and then went to the side of the road to stop the car.

He had just walked a few steps forward when a horn sounded in his ear.

Gu Shi'an turned his head and saw Chen Xiao sitting in the car not far away.The window was not rolled down just now, so she didn't pay attention at all.

She was slightly in a daze, and Chen Xiao said lazily, "Get in the car."

Gu Shi'an didn't move, and asked, "I'll just go back by myself." She paused, probably thinking that Chen Xiao wouldn't be here for no reason, and then asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Chen Xiao glanced at her now, and asked, "What do you think? I'm in such a mood that I want to drink the cold wind here in the middle of the night?"

Gu Shi'an was silent now.

Chen Xiao, who was so dawdling, was impatient, and repeated: "Get in the car."

The video that Luo Yun showed appeared in Gu Shi'an's mind, and he suddenly became extremely tired, and said, "No, just talk about it if you have something to say."

Chen Xiao's face collapsed quickly, he sneered, and said, "I'm waiting for you here when I'm full."

He said without looking at Gu Shi'an anymore, started the car and left quickly.

Gu Shi'an stood there without moving, and when he saw a car approaching, he stopped it.

At this time, it was not easy to stop the car, and several cars in a row were carrying guests.When the cold wind hit, Gu Shi'an shivered.

Her head was already aching, but the cold wind blew so hard that the space between her eyebrows swelled even more.

It was cold to stand like that, and she was about to go to the fork in front to stop the car, when Chen Xiao fell back again.Still impatient, he said, "You want me to get you into the car?"

There was a hint of threat in his tone.

Gu Shi'an paused, walked over and opened the door to get in the car.

The inside of the car was warm, and as soon as Gu Shian got into the car, he started the car immediately.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that there was something wrong with him, but he didn't say anything.She also didn't ask anything, she had a bad headache, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

It was probably because her complexion was not very good. After driving for a while, Chen Xiao glanced at her and asked, "Uncomfortable?"

Gu Shi'an just said no.

"You want me to go to the hospital?" Chen Xiao glanced at her again.

Gu Shi'an had no choice but to say, "My head hurts a little." She was afraid that Chen Xiao would make a fuss and go to the hospital, so she added, "I guess he was drunk."

Chen Xiao didn't speak now.

The car fell into silence again, Gu Shi'an closed his eyes and continued to fall asleep.

After so long, the car stopped.Gu Shi'an opened his eyes, and Chen Xiao over there had already opened the door and got out of the car.

It didn't arrive now, Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was going to do, so he also wanted to get off the car.

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "Stay in the car."

After saying this, he closed the car door and left directly.

Gu Shi'an was about to get out of the car, but he didn't move now.Her head was really painful, so she stretched out her hand and rubbed the center of her brow vigorously.

Chen Xiao didn't come back for a while, Gu Shi'an checked the time, and was about to get out of the car to have a look, when the door on the other side was opened.Chen Xiao, who was in the cold, sat in.

He held a bag in his hand, handed it to Gu Shi'an directly, and said, "Eat."

Gu Shi'an was slightly taken aback, and when he took it over, he found a box of medicine and a bottle of water in the bag.

The water was still hot, he probably got it from a bottle somewhere.

She didn't move for a moment.

Chen Xiao had already put on his seat belt, and seeing that she hadn't taken any medicine, he sarcastically said, "Why, I'm afraid you'll be poisoned to death?" His tone was ambiguous.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, but took out the medicine.To read the instructions how many pills to take, Chen Xiao said impatiently: "One pill."

Probably because he thought she was too slow, he directly grabbed the medicine box in her hand, picked out the pills and handed them to Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an quickly took the medicine, and she didn't eat anything all night.After drinking the hot water, the stomach is much more subdued.She just drank it in small sips.

Chen Xiao's phone rang right now, and he picked it up.

I don't know if it's the psychological effect or the quick effect of the medicine he bought, but Gu Shi'an's headache gradually eased.She just closed her eyes.

Originally, she just wanted to refresh her mind, but who knew that she would just fall asleep like that.

When Chen Xiao finished answering the phone, she was already leaning on the car seat and fell asleep, her head was tilted to the side, and she didn't know if it was comfortable or not.

He just glanced at it and continued driving.

Gu Shi'an was woken up by Chen Xiao, and her mind was in a daze just after waking up.It was only after she followed Chen Xiao into the elevator that she remembered that this was the wedding room.

She couldn't help but patted her head.

Chen Xiao probably knew what she was thinking, so he glanced at her coldly, and said, "I called you in the car, but you didn't wake up. I'm going back to the old house tomorrow morning, so I'm too lazy to pick you up again. "

That's right, she will go to the old house to help prepare for the New Year during the holidays.

Gu Shi'an's hand slipped down, and he remained silent.

The elevator arrived soon, and Chen Lili walked over first, took out the key, opened the door, and turned on the light.

Gu Shi'an hasn't come back for a while, and the room is still the same as when she left.There were even her slippers by the door.

She was slightly startled, and then remembered that if she put away all her things, if the old lady came over suddenly, she would be in trouble.

She said nothing and changed her shoes.

Chen Ying should have hired a part-time worker to clean it. The house was clean, but it was a little deserted.

Chen Xiao took off his coat as soon as he entered the door, glanced at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Go take a shower. Can't find the way? Want me to show you the way?"

He looked like he had taken gunpowder.Gu Shi'an didn't add fuel to the fire, but went to get a change of clothes.

Gu Shi'an went to the bedroom only to find that her clothes were also untouched, and they were all placed where she left them.The bedroom was a bit messier than the outside, with a few pieces of clothes piled up, probably from the morning.There were also cigarette butts in the ashtray.

Gu Shi'an didn't tidy up either, he took his pajamas and went to take a shower.

The water heater in the old house is old and the bathroom is narrow.Chen Xiao has always been strict, and the things used here are the best.Taking a shower is also much more comfortable than over there.

After the hot water drenched his body, he felt lazy. Gu Shi'an stayed in the bathroom twice as long as usual, and then slowly put on his clothes.

When he dried his hair, Chen Xiao was actually at the dining table. He ordered takeaway and was eating slowly while flipping through the newspaper.

When Gu Shian went out, he pointed to the serving set opposite him, and said concisely, "Eat."

The smell of food is undoubtedly very tempting in the middle of the night. Gu Shi'an didn't eat much at first, but now he felt even more hungry, so he walked over.

The takeaway that Chen Xiao ordered was seafood porridge. It's still steaming hot, so I don't know where he ordered it from.

Gu Shi'an quickly sat down and said thank you.

Chen Xiao looked at her coolly now, and said, "You're welcome. Just by the way." After a slight pause, he then said slowly: "It's too early to kill the donkey. If you want the donkey Lamo, of course, must be fed first."

Gu Shi'an couldn't help but choke.

She is not stupid, so she naturally knows that what he means is that she needs to take care of the New Year's affairs.
