Chapter 2

The woman on the high platform is Gu Chixi.

Her face was like cold jade, and her skin had a lustrous and translucent feeling under the light, but it seemed to have no temperature. The tall nose, the thin lips slightly pursed, and the clear jawline all revealed a cold aura.

It’s hard to ignore just sitting there.

Her eyes fell on Wen Ning, and a little softness melted into her deep black eyes. After a while, she looked away, her eyes condensed into ice again, indifferent and quiet.

Wen Ning was stunned, a large blank space exploded in her mind, and suddenly a strange feeling, as if she was dreaming, appeared.

The surrounding people and voices drifted away, and there were only her and that person in the huge space…

At that time, Wen Ning was seven years old and Gu Chixi was ten years old. The two were neighbors and lived next to each other. Wen Ning has been naughty since she was a child, and she always has to cause some trifles every now and then. Both parents have headaches, and she only calmed down after getting to know Gu Chixi.

Gu Chixi was icy at that time, and no one liked to take care of him, but he was extremely patient with Wen Ning, allowing her to be hilarious and unsmiling on the surface, not to mention how much she was protective of her shortcomings.

When they were young, they were simple-minded and didn’t know much about twists and turns. They only thought that each other was their good friends. Later, as he grew up, he gradually developed some hazy feelings.

On her twentieth birthday, Wen Ning confessed to Gu Chixi and got no response.

Later, Gu Chixi left without saying goodbye, and there was no news.

It’s been seven years now.

Yesterday, Gu Chixi said personally that in the past few years studying abroad, it was inconvenient to contact friends in China, but now he came back because his father passed away, and there are important things to deal with at home.

It’s just a light-hearted remark.

…

Wen Ning came back to her senses, her heartbeat was suddenly fast, she unconsciously clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down.

The whispers in my ears gradually disappeared, and the entire conference hall fell silent.

Then the leader began to speak.

Wen Ning lowered her head, didn’t hear a word, and unknowingly sat until the end of the meeting.

Everyone left one after another, and only herself was left in the empty conference hall. She leaned back on the chair and lost her mind. A crisp sound of high-heeled shoes came from far to near, towards this side.

“Is it Captain Wen?” A woman in business attire stood in front of her with a smile.

Wen Ning nodded.

“I’m Mr. Gu’s assistant Tan Jia. Mr. Gu wants to invite you to her office. I wonder if you are free now?” The other party said with a smile. This was very polite, as if she was the boss.

Hearing the unfamiliar title, Wen Ning’s heart trembled slightly, but she immediately reacted and smiled: “What if I don’t have time?”

Tan Jia nodded and said, “Okay, I will convey the truth to President Gu.” After speaking, she wanted to turn around.

“Wait a minute,” Wen Ning stood up, “I’m free again. Please help Assistant Tan lead the way.”

Tan Jia: “…”

No wonder President Gu asked her to be more polite when talking to Captain Wen.

Really weird.

The two walked out of the conference hall, took the special elevator to the top floor, and passed through an automatic sensor glass door, which was the reception area. There was a little girl who looked like an assistant standing behind the workbench. Seeing them coming, she smiled and nodded to Tan Jia.

Walking through a long corridor covered with brown carpets, the walls are covered with oil paintings, and there are four workstations at the end, three of which are empty, and the office is behind.

Tan Jia only knocked on the door symbolically, then pushed it open and made a gesture: “Captain Wen, please.”

“Thank you.” Wen Ning smiled and walked in calmly.

The office is very large, and the floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides make the light transparent and bright, and the view is excellent. The style of cool white tone is simple and elegant. There is a Steinway grand piano by the window of the sofa.

The woman is sitting behind the desk and is looking at the tablet computer intently. Her eyebrows are low, her skin is as white as jade, her long eyelashes are trembling like cicada wings, and there is no emotion in her dull eyes, like a cold sculpture. .

When she looked up and saw the person beside the door, there was a sudden turbulence in her eyes, and the corners of her cold and hard mouth softened and turned up slightly.

“Sit.” Gu Chixi pointed to the sofa.

Wen Ning’s eyes were fixed for a few seconds, then she took it back. She walked to the sofa and sat down, and asked casually, “Is there anything wrong with Mr. Gu?”

Gu Chixi stood up stiffly, did not speak, walked around the desk, poured a cup of blueberry fruit tea made by himself, put it in front of Wen Ning, and sat down next to her.

“Thank you, Mr. Gu.” Wen Ning got up with a cup and moved to the single sofa next to her.

Gu Chixi frowned and said softly, “You don’t need to call me that in private.”

There was a sweet blueberry fruit fragrance in the cup, and a faint purple ripple appeared in Wen Ning’s drooping eyes. She didn’t drink or answer, and suddenly raised her head and smiled: “President Gu, I prefer to drink water.”

“it is good.”

Gu Chixi got up and poured her a glass of boiled water.

Wen Ning raised her eyebrows and picked up the blueberry fruit tea again, “Forget it, drink this.” Then she took a sip, “It tastes average.”

Casual comments, every move seems a bit deliberate. Gu Chixi looked at her quietly, the soft light in his eyes became stronger and stronger, but he was very restrained and did not show it on his face.

“You liked to drink as a child,” she said.

Wen Ning’s hand holding the cup trembled, she closed her eyelids, and said, “Yeah, but I don’t like it that much now.” She smiled to herself, “People change.”

The room was suddenly quiet.

The shadow of the sun was cast in, and half of it fell on Gu Chixi. Her eyes were halfway down, and her right hand lightly touched the cross ring on the index finger of her left hand.

There is an English version of the Bible on the coffee table, and there is a picture of the crucifixion on the wall behind the sofa.

“The company is a small part of my father’s property.” Gu Chixi changed the subject calmly, looking up at Wen Ning.

“He died last month.”

This is explaining.

Wen Ning was startled, as if thinking about something, “Is your father Gu Zhouhai?”

Plaza Premium Group is a subsidiary of Oneworld Group, which is one of the largest multinational conglomerates in China. It has three major industries, namely Oneworld Technology, Oneworld Entertainment and Oneworld Real Estate, the core of which is Oneworld Technology.

Chairman Gu Zhouhai is a man of events, active in financial news all the year round, and his family is also interesting to people. We all know that he has two daughters and one son, mysterious and excellent.

On the 18th of last month, Gu Zhouhai died of a sudden illness, and the news was posted on Weibo’s hot search for a day.

Gu Chixi’s expression darkened: “Well.”

“…”

Wen Ning was confused again.

In this way, Gu Chixi should have sisters and brothers, but in her memory, Gu Chixi said that she was an only child, and she had never met her father.

She and Gu Chixi have known each other for many years, but she didn’t know that the other party’s family background was so deep.

It turns out that “dealing with very important family matters” means this…

“The company is now—”

“Will it go bankrupt?” Wen Ning hooked her lips and interrupted her directly, “Many colleagues want to change jobs.”

Gu Chixi shook his head firmly: “No.”

The voice was quiet and peaceful, giving people a very reassuring feeling.

Wen Ning was most worried about this. She got an accurate answer. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly accepted the fact that Qingmei became the boss. In fact, what if she didn’t accept it. She was just an ordinary employee and couldn’t control anything.

“You want to change jobs?” Gu Chixi asked suddenly.

Her eyes were deep, calm like a pool of stagnant water, elusive.

Wen Ning was uncomfortable with her, and turned her face away: “I signed a ‘sell | body contract’, where can I jump.”

Domestic training of pilots is life-long. First, sign a training contract with the airline company, and then go to the aviation school to study. All expenses are borne by the airline company. After successful graduation, they directly enter the airline company and work until retirement. This life-long contract is dubbed “sell | body contract” in the industry.

If you want to change jobs, you have to pay high liquidated damages.

She didn’t think about leaving, and even if she wanted to, she couldn’t pay the liquidated damages unless the company really went bankrupt.

Gu Chixi stared at her for a long time, suppressed the forbearance in his eyes, and said seriously: “The demand for pilots in the industry is now saturated, and the most lacking is the mature captain. You only let the captain this year, if you want to jump, you need more. Accumulate some airline experience.”

Wen Ning opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she was choked back by her next sentence.

“However, it is impossible for me to give you this chance.”

The tone was light, without warmth.

Gu Chixi lowered her eyelashes, and her delicate white skin cast a light shadow, covering all her emotions just right. Her face seemed to be covered with a layer of white frost, and the icy aura permeated it again.

Wen Ning could feel her mood swings, but she couldn’t see any expressions, and a heart was suddenly hung up, unable to go up or down.

This man is so paranoid.

When she left, she didn’t leave a single word for her. In the past seven years, it was like disappearing from the world. Now she came back just by accident, in order to inherit the inheritance. It’s a bit too ironic to say this all of a sudden.

Nothing has changed, the possessiveness is still as strong.

“Why—” Wen Ning sneered, and sat next to Gu Chixi again, leaning closer, “President Gu is reluctant to let me go?”

The faces of the two were almost pressed together, and the breath exhaled between their noses was slightly scented, and slowly sprinkled on the side of her face, but they kept a just right distance, not too far, not too close.

Gu Chixi didn’t answer, but grabbed Wen Ning’s hand.

Wen Ning immediately pulled out, got up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

In the clear sky, the clouds are like cotton wool, the sun is gradually slanting west, the shadows of the buildings on the ground are drawn very long, and the wide and flat road stretches to the end, as if it were boundless.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, put her hands in the pockets of her trousers, straightened her back, and the epaulettes on her shoulders glowed slightly.

Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist.

The light aroma diffused over and refreshed her heart and spleen. She took a breath and felt the temperature on her back. Like a sponge, soft and warm, it wrapped her whole body and pressed it against the window.

Gu Chixi hugged her, looked into her collar with a low gaze, and saw a dark red mark, the darker his eyes, he couldn’t help tightening his arms.

“Lime…” she whispered to her.

Wen Ning’s heart trembled, but a sarcastic smile appeared at the end of her eyes: “What does President Gu want to do?”

Gu Chixi didn’t speak, she kissed her thin lips along the auricle, and her long and distinct fingers stroked the side of her face, forcing her to tilt her head involuntarily to meet those lips.

The phone in my pocket vibrated suddenly.

Wen Ning pushed Gu Chixi away and took out her phone to unlock it.

It is the bank’s reminder | debt text message.

She stared at the screen, her expression froze immediately, the square words dancing in her eyes, over and over again, in a loop. She suddenly took a deep breath and pursed her lips, her face a little pale.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Chixi frowned and looked at her subconsciously.

When Wen Ning reacted, the text message had been read without a word by Gu Chixi. She hurriedly locked the screen, put the phone back in her pocket, and put her face away pretending to be calm.

“fine.”

The setting sun dyed the broken hair on her temples golden brown, and her skin seemed to glow with fine light.

long silence.

Gu Chixi frowned, dark eyes flashed with vague emotions, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t speak. She only knew that Wen Ning’s parents died in an accident, and she didn’t know that the other party was still carrying a huge debt, or that there was any connection between the two.

Based on what she knew about Wen Ning, if she asked directly, she probably couldn’t ask anything, and she would be stabbed in the face if she didn’t get it right.

“Right, Mr. Gu—”

Wen Ning quickly adjusted her mood, turned her face, and asked with a smile, “When will the salary be paid?”

Gu Chixi looked at her, was silent for a moment, raised her hand and tugged the broken hair in her ear, “Then when will you marry me?”
