《A Cute Woman and Her Clingy Husband》C43. Gu Zechen Stabilizes the Scene
Advertisement
Seeing that Ruan doesn't reply, the man shows a bit of malice in his eyes, and soon he disappears in the corner. Su Ni's face remains unchanged. He takes a look in the direction of Yin's family and says, "it's not the first time Yin's family has been looking for a lobbyist." "This is the second time." Ruan says truthfully. Su Ni smiles and says, "Yin family is very powerful, and the conditions given should be quite attractive. Ruan can always stick to my side, which is really flattering." Ruan Yichen looks at Su Ni's side face, feeling that now she looks more dignified with her business wear mixed with a mature makeup.
"I am a man of one mind. I will not easily change the people and things I value." Ruan says. Su Ni also turns his face and smiles at Ruan. "I wonder what's the matter that Ruan is going to decide?" "Of course, it's that we have a firm foothold in China. I remember that President Su and I mentioned this when we first met." Ruan lowers his eyebrows and eyes, as if there were a magnet, attracting people's eyes. "Oh."
Su Ni returns to her mind, lowers her head and voice, and says, " Ruan's words remind me of an allegorical saying, ‘Jiang Taigong is fishing’. I just don't know who Jiang Taigong is and who the fish is." "President. Su is joking." Ruan Yichen says seriously, "maybe Mr. Gu said something to you, but there is one thing I can assure President Su that there is nothing else beyond normal business competition." In this way, it's Gu Zechen who measures the stature of great men by the yardstick of small men. Is he trying to crush Ruan before he rises?
But if it is true, according to Gu Zechen's character, he will not be merciful. This Nanjiawan project is also impossible to fall into Su Ni's hands. The more Ruan explains, the more firmly Su Ni trusts Gu's suspicion. But at this time, Su Ni doesn't reveal her suspicion, "I don't know much about Gu’s business. Just now, I just ask casually. As for normal business competition, it exists even between Su's and Gu's." "So the enemy of the enemy is a natural friend." Ruan Yichen does not hide his intention and smiles at Su Ni. Su Ni is surprised. Pretending to divert her eyes, she secretly pinches the palm of her hand, sweating all over.

"Sue doesn't have to be nervous." Her disguise doesn't work in Ruan's eyes. "I do not intend to provoke the dissension, but I think that Mr. Gu and Mr. Su's feelings are not as loving as they seem to be. There are many rumors in the whole southern city, and I think Mr. Su has heard about it already." Ruan grows bolder. Su Ni is already calm, "right? Rumor is rumor after all, but will Ruan believe it?" "What a coincidence." Ruan mutters, "the other day, President Gu said the same words to me."
Gu Zechen? Su Ni frowns a little, her face looking no longer calm, and there flashes a sharpness across her delicate eyebrows. "Since Mr. Ruan has long suspected the feelings between me and Mr. Gu, why did you choose to cooperate with me at the beginning? After all, leaving aside my identity as Mrs. Gu, I'm afraid that Mr. Ruan would not have paid much attention to me." Su Ni is scared for a while. The man has seen through her original lies, but still chooses to cooperate with her. His scheming and ambition have far exceeded Su Ni's budget. "As I said earlier, enemies of the enemy are natural friends." Ruan repeats. "Gu Zechen is my husband, not the enemy, and you will not be my friend."
Su Ni's eyebrows and eyes are cold, and his body moves quietly to keep a certain distance. "President Su, you are joking. To be fair, you've been married for two or three years, have you really known Gu Zechen? " "I know that it has nothing to do with Ruan. Ruan and I are just working together to win the Nanjiawan project. That's all." Su Ni frowns and feels sick. It's no wonder that she has been feeling strange after she left the feast of director Zhang. Now, it's not only Gu Zechen’s treating her with the way he has devised against others, but also Ruan Yichen's repeatedly sounding out her relationship with Gu Zechen.

"Su is so serious."
Ruan Yichen lowers his eyebrows with a shallow smile, which is no different from before, but Su Ni discerns a trace of coolness from that indifferent smile. "I'll go to the bathroom." Su Ni gets up and makes an excuse to leave. After a few steps, she looks back at Ruan Yichen again. The man has been sitting there with the same posture as before, and the man who has just left quickly comes to her side. He is from the Yin family. Since Ruan Yichen has a firm goal and has chosen the Su family from the beginning, she will not worry about Ruan Yichen's temporary backwater. And he wins the battle. Ruan knows it. When Su Ni returns to the venue again, there comes a lot of commotion. Looking along the crowd, Gu Zechen is indeed found. This man is late, but no matter where he goes, he is the focus of the crowd.
Su Ni tidies up her mood, walks closer quickly. Regardless of the people's strange eyes, she smiles and pulls Gu Zechen's shoulder, saying, "President Gu, I thought you would not come." "My wife's bidding committee means a lot." Gu Zechen says, and hugs her waist in the presence of the outsiders as a loving husband. Yin's face becomes serious when she sees Gu Zechen. This is different from the hearsay. Moreover, Gu Zechen's appearance may defeat many people's psychological defense lines, and the government's side is wavering. It seems that the bidding will belong to a certain company because they feel it is already a foregone conclusion. With the arrival of Gu Zechen, the bidding meeting is also bustling. Most people know that the bidding is hopeless. On the one hand, they express congratulations and try to talk with Gu Zechen to see if they could find a new direction for cooperation.
Gu Zechen rarely has a good temper, refusing nobody. In the middle of the crowd, Gu Zechen tightly hugs Su Ni's waist all the time, not being away from her for half a minute. Ruan disappears. Half an hour later, the bidding meeting is held smoothly. When it is Su Ni's turn to give a speech on planning, there is a warm applause on the spot. Su Ni strides with a straight figure and a confident face. She quickly opens the projector and begins to make Su's future planning. With the deepening of the problem, the original restless scene quiets. Gu Zechen sits at the front, looking at the figure in the light on the stage. It's no longer the gentle and amiable look in her arms. She looks more confident and vigorous than men. But it's different from the first feeling. For a moment, he suddenly feels that he can not move his eyes. Leaving aside other things, he feels that Su Ni's plan alone is beyond his imagination. Or maybe Su Ni can really be a good partner.
