After a pause, he added: "If it is just for this purpose, please allow me to leave."

"Hey, wait," Gu Yuqing stopped him, "What are you thinking? Who do you think I am? If I want to play, why should I take the risk to find people like you?"

Chen Ya turned around and looked at her in slight surprise. Although the content of her words was serious, her expression did not look offended. On the contrary...

There was still a joyful light shining in his eyes.

"You can go find out what Gu Yuqing's reputation is in the industry. I don't have any friends of the opposite sex. I don't even have any heterosexual relationships outside of work, and I haven't even been in love."

Gu Yuqing blinked and continued: "As a woman, after climbing to my current position, if I have problems in my private life, do you think I will still maintain my current prestige and make everyone afraid?"

Chen Ya stood for a while and said decisively: "That was my misunderstanding. I'm sorry, I blame me for being abrupt."

"I don't blame you, after all, you don't know me well." Gu Yuqing blinked twice, "So, come on, help me take off my shoes."

"Isn't this a problem in private life?"

"I have quite a wide network of contacts in the industry," Gu Yuqing said indifferently. "If I have a slightly less... uh, friendly opinion of you during a chat, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do business in the future."

She fiddled with her polished fingernails: "I suggest you think about it." Lan

"Is this a threat?"

"How can this be a threat? You didn't bring a voice recorder."

These words are inconsistent, but they are inexplicably convincing.

Chen Ya silently stepped forward, bent down, and was about to take off the shoe when Gu Yuqing put her foot down.

"Huh? Squat down, I don't like others standing taller than me." Gu Yuqing's voice sounded outside her sight.

Chen Ya squatted down helplessly, lowered his head and said, "If you don't lift it up, how can you take it off?"

Gu Yuqing smiled, raised her foot, stretched it under the tip of his nose, and almost poked his stomach.

So Chen Ya secretly took a few steps back, grabbed the sole of the shoe with one hand, took it off, and threw it aside. Then he grabbed the other raised foot, took off the shoe, and threw it aside.

The glass slipper rolled twice on the ground. Chen Ya's movements were rough and somewhat personal.

An inexplicable smell penetrated the tip of Chen Ya's nose. It seemed to be the smell of sunflower seeds, with a bit of the smell of soaked cotton quilts left unwashed overnight.

I can't say it's smelly, it's definitely not the smell of sour pickles and rotten cucumbers, but it's definitely not a fragrance either, it's a smell that makes you feel emotional after smelling it.

Gu Yuqing immediately retracted her feet, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and said arrogantly: "Okay, go get a pair of slippers from me."

"Is this part of showing sincerity?"

"This is part of etiquette," Gu Yuqing blinked, "If you throw your shoes so far away, I can't talk to you barefoot later, right?" Lan

"Don't you have a maid?"

"They are all busy. You push things to them so easily. Don't you feel sorry?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Ya walked out of the reading room and saw a maid standing nervously just a step away from the door.

Obviously, if Chen Ya had done something impulsively just now, this maid would definitely rush in bravely.

"The slippers are at the entrance, let me get them for you..."

After the maid who was nearly thirty years old finished speaking hurriedly, she ran over and brought back a pair of soft white cotton in her arms, stuffing them into Chen Ya's arms.

Chen Ya swallowed what he wanted to say and returned to the reading room. Before Gu Yuqing asked to help her put it on, he threw the slippers at her feet.

"Can we get down to business now?"

Gu Yuqing nodded with a small spoon in her mouth: "Hmm, that's it. I'm full, I'm full."

Sitting like a lady with her legs together, there was no trace of the unreasonable request she had just made.

Chen Ya sat down, Gu Yuqing clapped her hands, and the maid walked in immediately.

"Put away everything on the table."

Most of the delicious food on the table was only half eaten, and some only took one bite. Chen Ya watched the desserts being taken away, and he couldn't help but let out an even more shriveled cry in his stomach.

His voice was so loud that Gu Yuqing must have heard it, but she seemed not to have heard it, and asked him with concern on her desk: "Lan

"Are you in a relationship? When do you plan to get married?"

"Is this related to business?"

"Of course it's related. Generally, people who have been married are more practical and have more motivation to fight." Gu Yuqing said seriously.

"We talked about it, and we don't plan to get married." Chen Ya sighed, "Do you have any other special ways to detect people? Use them all?"

Gu Yuqing still had a serious expression on her face and asked again: "When I was reading just now, who was the Murakami you mentioned?"

"What Murakami?"

"You said that this book written by Murakami-kun is relatively obscure...but the author of this book is Kawabata Haruki?" Lan

Gu Yuqing picked up "Norwegian Wood" and raised it to Chen Ya.

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Ya's back.

"Oh, I remembered the wrong author." Chen Ya said calmly, "That's funny."

The original author of this book is Haruki Murakami.

After he copied it, he stitched Kawabata Yasunari and Murakami Haruki together.

I was quick to speak just now, so I still said it was Murakami.

But this little loophole should not be noticed by anyone.

All I can say is that this woman Gu Yuqing is too perceptive.

Gu Yuqing stared at Chen Ya for a while, nodded, and seemed to be saying to herself: "It turns out that your memory is not as good as it looks."

Chen Ya was a little impatient.

He wanted to know when this woman would get to the point.

"Well, in terms of investment, let alone 100 million, I can get it even if it is 200 million," Gu Yuqing said, "But I have a principle for investment. Once I invest, I must run the company.

The direction has a say."

Chen Ya narrowed his eyes and asked, "How much say do you want?"

"It's a one-vote veto," Gu Yuqing said. "As long as I'm not satisfied with the proposed direction, I have to overturn it and start over. Otherwise, I have the right to withdraw investment at any time."

Chen Ya said: "In this case, we may be defeated by you at any time."

Gu Yuqing shrugged: "But principles are principles and cannot be compromised. You must choose to believe me?"

"Are you really unable to compromise?"

"No compromise."

Chen Ya picked up his coat: "If you don't agree with me, I'll say goodbye."

Gu Yuqing blinked and raised her head to watch Chen Ya go out. Then, there was a loud slamming of the door closing from the entrance.

The sun was setting at this time, and the street lights in the outer ring had not yet been replaced with energy-saving models. They were emitting a dim light, and everything outside the light was pitch black.

Chen Ya stood outside the house, took out his mobile phone and searched, and found at a loss that the nearest subway station was 8 kilometers away.

The nearest bus station is slightly better, 5 kilometers away.

Chen Ya raised his head speechlessly and looked at the night scene in front of him.

"Hello."

Chen Ya turned around and saw Gu Yuqing leaning out half of her body on the balcony.

"It's very far here, do you want to walk back?"

Chen Ya frowned and said, "Will you send me back?" Lan

"No." Gu Yuqing covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing happily.

"Then you don't need to worry."

"Let me tell you a good thing." Gu Yuqing said again.

"What?"

"The label on the mobile phone navigation is wrong," Gu Yuqing said, "The bus station stops operating at 7 o'clock, and the subway station is temporarily closed for maintenance. If you want to take a bus, you have to walk 10 kilometers!"

"...I can call a ride-hailing service."

After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the night, like a train entering a tunnel.

But when I looked down at my phone, I saw the ride-hailing platform on the screen.

The estimated fee above is - 200 yuan.

For Chen Ya, who is currently tight on money, this number is a figure worth feeling pained for.

Gu Yuqing looked at his back, the smile on her lips was like water pouring out, and she couldn't put it away no matter what.

She took out her mobile phone, pressed the voice button, and said into it:

"Sisters, I really found an awesome toy. It's so exciting."
