Chapter 118 Is it an appointment?
On the other side...
The Gu Group was operating in an orderly manner, and the company's employees were able to handle calls for gossip with ease. Everyone was immersed in the work atmosphere, and no one wanted to pry into the boss's private affairs.
In the president's office.
Gu Xi finished signing a stack of documents and looked up at Su Muyu in front of him. "Tell me, what's the situation online now?"
Su Muyu held a tablet in her hand, looking at the data just transferred by the public relations department, and replied in an orderly manner: "At present, the news about you and President Jiang still occupies the top three of the hot search list, and the stock price of Gu Group is in a state of continuous rise. Dozens of companies that were originally waiting to see the cooperation project between our Gu Group and Jiang Group have called this morning to express their intention to cooperate and invest."
The powerful combination of the two families is indeed profitable for some people.
Gu Xi had seen through all of this a long time ago.
She raised one corner of her mouth slightly and smiled, revealing a playful smile, "Anything else?"
"Also, more than 90% of netizens think that you and President Jiang are a perfect match, and they look forward to seeing you get married and have children. Also..."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Gu Xi interrupted her quickly, "There is no need to report such unimportant matters."
"Okay, Mr. Gu, do we still need to release the clarification we prepared earlier?"
Gu Xi frowned slightly and thought for a moment. "No need. We should use this free popularity and save us a lot of publicity costs. However, you should keep a close eye on the public relations department and don't let others lead the trend and cause unnecessary trouble. Also, give a warning to the media that took the photos."
"Okay." Su Muyu nodded.
Suddenly, Gu Xi's cell phone rang.
As soon as she saw the caller ID, she got a headache.
Su Muyu smiled tactfully and said in a low voice: "Boss Gu, I'll go out and get busy first."
Gu Xi nodded and answered the phone.
Ling Jingyi's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xixi, what are you doing?"
Although Ling Jingyi is already in her forties, she has been surrounded by love since she was a child. After she grew up and got married, she was spoiled like a little princess by her husband. Even in middle age, she still looks innocent and her voice is as sweet as a girl.
Gu Xi was already used to her mother's coquettish way of speaking, and replied calmly: "I'm at the company."
"Xixi, come have dinner with mom later. You haven't eaten with me for a long time."
"I didn't..." Sora
Before she could refuse, Ling Jingyi interrupted her, "Don't say you don't have time. No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. Otherwise, I will go to the company every day to wait for you until you are free."
Gu Xi only felt a throbbing pain in his temple. "Okay, my dear mother, I really admire you. Please send me the address later."
"Okay, see you later. Bye, Xixi."
The place Ling Jingyi decided to eat at was Jasmine's Private Kitchen.
Gu Xi parked the car at the door, opened the door and got out, just in time to see Jiang Jingchi who had just parked the car.
The two looked at each other and were both stunned.
Jiang Jingchi raised his eyebrows at her, with an unstoppable smile of joy on his face, "Hi, Gu Xi, what a coincidence."
Gu Xi didn’t want to add any new headlines, so he just nodded and walked straight into the private kitchen.
Jiang Jingchi looked at her from behind and couldn't help laughing, "She's so cute, she's still shy even though she's this old."
So, he quickly chased after him.
"Gu Xi, are you coming here to eat too?"
Gu Xi suddenly stopped, looked at him seriously, and asked, "Isn't the box you want to go to also the Peony Hall?"
Jiang Jingchi nodded and understood instantly.
Gu Xi also understood and smiled slightly, "It seems that the protagonists today are you and me. It seems that this meal is not easy to digest."
Pushing open the door of the private room in the Peony Hall, Gu Xi saw his own parents and Jiang Jingchi's parents. The four of them were sitting inside, talking and laughing, looking very harmonious.
As she expected, this meal was specially arranged by the parents of both sides to bring them together.
Gu Xi and Jiang Jingchi said in unison: "Dad, Mom."
Hearing the noise, the four parents looked towards the door at the same time.
I just felt that Gu Xi and Jiang Jingchi at the door were a perfect match no matter how you looked at them.
Ning Yuexun looked at the daughter-in-law in front of him and liked her more and more.
She turned her head to look at Ling Jingyi and said, "Jingyi, look, when you mention the devil, he appears. I didn't expect that two children would show up together."
"Yeah yeah!"
Ling Jingyi smiled and nodded, looking at the two children with a auntie's smile that showed her support for the couple.
Gu Xi didn't bother to care about the parents' thoughts and walked straight to Ling Jingyi and sat down.
Jiang Jingchi walked over to Ning Yuexun and sat down.
It is obvious that this couple is not familiar with each other.
Gu Tianze and Jiang Huaian, the two fathers, looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, and tacitly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Ling Jingyi leaned closer to Gu Xi and asked in a low voice: "Xixi, did you and Jing Chi agree to come together?"
Gu Xi replied expressionlessly: "No, we just met at the door. Anyway, you guys were the ones who made the appointment, right?"
Although Ling Jingyi is over 40 years old, she has taken good care of herself and has a natural baby face. Sitting together with Gu Xi, they look like sisters.
Moreover, Gu Xi's natural temperament as a strong woman is more like her elder sister.
Being looked at like this by her daughter, Ling Jingyi couldn't help feeling guilty and secretly tugged at the corner of Gu Tianze's clothes under the table.
At this time, Ning Yuexun on the side smiled and explained: "Yes, our two families haven't eaten together for a long time, so we got together today. Xixi, look at you, you have lost weight recently. I ordered a lot of dishes that you like, eat more."
As he said that, he winked at Jiang Jingchi beside him, "Hurry up and pick some food for your wife."
Jiang Jingchi pursed his lips, but still picked up Gu Xi's favorite roast goose leg and put it into her bowl.
"Thank you."
Gu Xi's thank you was polite and distant, which made Jiang Jingchi angry. "No need to thank me. I'm your husband. It's my duty to help my wife pick up food."
Gu Xi was puzzled and rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself: What's wrong with him again?
She didn't know what Jiang Jingchi was thinking, but she knew very well what the four parents were thinking.
Gu Xi took a sip of wine, smiled slightly, and said, "Dad, Mom, you specially called us two here today. It shouldn't be just for dinner, right? It should be because of the news that broke on the Internet."
