Chapter 132: Attending a Banquet
On this day, I was doing the same work as them. Although the manager still looked at me with a meaningful gaze, he could not find a reason to let me do a lot of things. 1
It was time to get off work at noon. When I was about to go out to eat alone, the manager of our department came to me.
"At a reception banquet tonight, the people above told you to attend." The manager stood in front of me and said to me in a very annoyed manner. After saying that, he left.
"Some people just have good lives. They can even attend such a banquet!" The woman who disliked me was mocking me in front of the entire office.
Because it was just the time when he was off work, but the people in the office didn't start to leave, so there were a lot of people in the office.
I didn't think there was any need to argue with that woman, so I did n' t pay her any attention. I took my things and went out of the office to have lunch.
After I left the company, I was about to go to a restaurant that I felt satisfied with when my phone rang.
"Xiaoxi, where are you? I'll take you to dinner." Gu Yi said to me excitedly on the other end of the phone.
"I just got off work and was about to go for dinner. "I can eat it myself. You can do whatever you want." I spoke to the Gu Yi on the other end of the phone.
Actually, it wasn't that I did n' t seem to care about him. However, in my impression, the president had to go and entertain others. Therefore, he would definitely be very busy and would not have time to accompany me. Of course, I don't want myself to influence Gu Yi. I want you to stay away from work.
"I don't have anything to do. Where are you? I' ll pick you up." Gu Yi directly rejected my proposal and said it bluntly.
"Alright, I'm downstairs. "I'll wait for you." I couldn't refuse Gu Yi, so I could only honestly explain my position.
After hanging up, I stood outside the office hall waiting for Gu Yi. All sorts of employees of the company walked past me. Some of them looked at me with strange eyes. However, I didn't care too much. After all, I was already used to this situation.
Actually, sometimes I couldn't refute it. It was true that in any aspect Lin Yan as long as they could see it, they were much better than me. It was normal for them to think that I was not worthy of Gu Yi. I had nothing to say.
"Xiaoxi, let's go eat." Gu Yi patted me on the shoulder from behind.
I had always thought that Gu Yi would come out of the company, so I kept looking at the company's main hall. It seemed that I was wrong, so when Gu Yi patted my shoulder, I was shocked.
"I thought you came out from inside and scared me." I was frightened by him, and there were still a few angry words to him.
"Alright, I'm sorry. I just came back from outside. Do n' t be angry, alright?" Gu Yi looked at the angry look on my face, he suddenly spoke to me in a very gentle manner.
Actually, I wasn't angry. It was just that she was suddenly frightened and panicked. However, I felt a little embarrassed when he said this to me in such a loving manner.
The people next to him would also think that we were flirting with each other. Moreover, Lin Yan was also in the company right now. They must have been very uncomfortable with me.
"I'm fine. I was just scared by you." I looked at Gu Yi and said to him with a smile.
Gu Yi didn't say anything else. He just smiled at me and pulled my hand to leave the office hall. However, in such a public place, I still held Gu Yi hand in embarrassment, let alone the company. So, I wanted to release Gu Yi hand.
Gu Yi seemed to feel my reaction and he pulled me even tighter. He didn't give me any chance to let go of his hand.
Just like that, I couldn't let go of his hand at all. I allowed Gu Yi to pull my hand and leave this place. I had received a lot of rolled eyes all the way here. However, Gu Yi still held me tight. Slowly, I didn't care about this either. After all, with him by my side, I wasn't afraid of anything.
Gu Yi brought me to a Japanese food restaurant, but he didn't like Japanese food. In the past, going to the Japanese restaurant with him was my main dish, so he only ordered an eel meal. Especially the raw food like salmon, which I like most, but he couldn't stand it at all. However, in order for me to know what I liked, he would still be willing to bring me along, even if he couldn't eat it.
I was still very touched. Three years had passed, but he still remembered what I liked and was still eating with me like before. Of course, like before, he only ordered one serving of eel rice and ordered a lot of things for me.
"Xiaoxi, your manager should have already told you about the arrangements for tonight." While we were waiting for the dishes we ordered, Gu Yi looked at me and spoke seriously.
I looked at him and nodded.
"Then you have to dress up tonight. We'll come in together." Gu Yi looked at me and smiled.
At such an occasion, Gu Yi still brought me along. I didn't think about bringing Lin Yan with me. I was still very happy. However, I replied to him with a simple and indifferent tone.
"Of course." I looked at him and said to him with a faint smile.
However, I suddenly remembered what Lin Yan said yesterday that he had a meeting today and that I had changed his plan. Was there any problem? However, looking at Gu Yi current state, there seemed to be no problem.
"Gu Yi, I heard people in the department say that you have a contract meeting to discuss today. How's the discussion going?" I looked at Gu Yi and asked him carefully.
Of course, I couldn't tell him. It was Lin Yan who told me. That way, he would know that I was the one who changed the plan. I'm not that stupid.
"What's wrong?" Why did you suddenly care about my work? "You've never asked me these questions before." After Gu Yi heard what I said, she looked at me in surprise and said to me.
I was confused by his question. Right, I had never cared about him before, but now, I actually asked him such a question. Do I feel like I don't have a silver spoon in my mouth?
"No, I just think I want to do something for you, even if it's just a simple idea." I looked at Gu Yi and said to him indifferently.
"I haven't talked about this meeting yet. It's the beginning of the meeting this afternoon. "Besides, I'm sure I can do this myself. As long as you have a good company to train in, I' ll need you one day." Gu Yi looked at me and smiled.
"Besides, you don't have to worry about me. I will definitely do everything well." Gu Yi added, speaking to me proudly.
As he spoke, the dishes we ordered were already on the table.
After we finished eating, I returned to the company with him. Because the supervisor knew that I had plans for the night, even if he wanted to leave me to work, he wouldn't dare. On this day, I went underground early and returned home.
I went home and opened a room Gu Yi had reserved for me as my cloakroom. This room was filled with clothes and shoes that accompanied Gu Yi to places of special importance. It was also because Gu Yi told me to dress up and attend. I was prepared to come here and choose a good one.
I looked at the mirror seriously and dressed up. In the end, I finally spent more than one hour and two hours finishing my makeup and clothes.
"Gu Yi, I'm ready. Are you coming to pick me up?" After I finished tidying up, I called Gu Yi.
At this moment Gu Yi he had probably finished his contract. He didn't know what the outcome would be.
"Okay, Xiaoxi, wait for me at home. I'll pick you up right away." Gu Yi said to me on the phone.
I listened to the Gu Yi on the other end of the phone and didn't feel anything different in his tone. It wasn't known if the contract had n' t been affected because I had changed the plan, or if Gu Yi hadn't shown anything tonight.
However, since Gu Yi didn't show anything, I would n' t show anything. Also, I had to accompany Gu Yi to the banquet tonight, so I looked at the mirror and tidied up my condition before sitting on the sofa waiting for Gu Yi to arrive.
Not long after, Gu Yi arrived at home. He looked at my carefully dressed makeup and looked quite satisfied. So, I was still quite happy.
When I arrived at the banquet, I held my Gu Yi and walked in from the door. On the way, the ladies beside me looked at me with envy. Moreover, his expression was so obvious that even Gu Yi could tell. So, he grabbed my hand.
"It's fine. I' ll protect you." Gu Yi whispered into my ear.
Although this action made me feel warm, it also made the ladies' eyes look even more interested, as if they were shooting arrows at me again.
However, there was something wrong with this trip. Gu Yi didn't bring Lin Yan to such a big banquet, but brought me. I always felt that this matter wasn't that simple, so I kept looking for Lin Yan in the crowd.
However, I never found it, so I unconsciously tightened my grip on Gu Yi. Because, I always felt that tonight's banquet was n' t that simple.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoxi?" Gu Yi felt my nervousness and lowered his head to ask me.
"It's fine. I' m just feeling a little uncomfortable." I looked at Gu Yi and shook my head.
I didn't want Gu Yi to worry that much, nor did I want him to feel uncomfortable at such a big banquet because of me. Although I couldn't help him with many things, at least I would n' t give him any trouble.
