Chapter 8. The first day of flirting with Miss Jane
Jian Ran was a little surprised: "Gu Mingxi, why is it you?"
"To be precise, you should call me fiancee." Before Jian Ran could speak, Gu Mingxi asked first: "Lawyer Jian, where are you going? I'll see you off."
Seeing that Jian Ran hesitated, Gu Mingxi said: "Today is a rest day, it's not easy to take a taxi here. Don't think about Miss Jian, give me a chance, let me see you off."
Jian Ran looked at the watch on her wrist again, and at five past ten, she finally made a decision: "Then I will trouble you."
Gu Mingxi graciously opened the co-pilot's door for her: "You're welcome."
Jane got into the car and sat on the co-pilot.
Gu Mingxi asked, "Where is Miss Jian going?"
Jane replied: "The street ahead, Guohao Hotel, just put me down."
Gu Mingxi was startled, and tentatively said: "Go to the hotel? You... I remember you told me on WeChat that you were going to meet a client."
Jian Ran frowned, glanced at her, and asked unhappily, "Where did you go?"
Gu Mingxi hurriedly smiled and said, "I didn't expect it. Didn't I confirm the location with you. What a coincidence, I also went to Guohao Hotel."
Jian Ran snorted softly, looked ahead, and stopped talking.
Gu Mingxi could tell that Jian Ran was a little absent-minded.At this time, her slender fingers with well-defined bones were tightly holding the mobile phone, her left hand was pressing on the right hand, trembling slightly.
Gu Mingxi's heart tightened, and she suddenly remembered what the police had told her.
The traffic police said that the traffic jam ahead was due to someone having a traffic accident, and Jian Ran's car was towed away by the insurance company just now, so it was obvious that she was the one who had the accident.
So now, she is afraid.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingxi felt a little distressed.
She took out a box of mint-flavored throat lozenges from her bag, showed it to Jian Ran and asked, "Miss Jian, do you want some candy?"
Jian Ran shook her head slightly: "No, thank you."
Gu Mingxi said 'hmm', and put the lozenge back.
Jian Ran's mood hasn't calmed down yet, it's not good to ask too many questions.
But she still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Miss Jian, are you in good health? Do you need me to take you to the hospital first?"
After Jane was reminded like this, the wound on her wrist really started to hurt again.
When the car hit her just now, although her body didn't suffer any major damage, her wrist was scratched. If it wasn't blocked by the cuff, the blood might not be able to hide it.
"No, thank you. But I'm in a hurry, can you take me there quickly." Jian Ran said while clenching the wound on her right wrist, so that the pain would be relieved.
"Of course." Gu Mingxi shrugged.Pointing to Jian Ran's shoulder again, she reminded her half jokingly: "Miss Jian, travel safely, please fasten your seat belt."
Jian Ran was startled, and then realized that she didn't even fasten her seat belt because she was thinking about something: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Gu Mingxi laughed: "Since just now, you have said thank you three times to me. If Miss Jian really wants to thank me, please treat me to dinner next time."
Jian Ran fastened her seat belt, thought for a while, and said, "Sorry, I'm a bit busy with work, and I'm afraid I don't have time in the short term."
Gu Mingxi said while turning the steering wheel: "It can be seen that a woman who can come out to work overtime on weekends to meet clients is indeed quite dedicated."
While speaking, the car had already driven from the side road onto Central Avenue.
Jian Ran heard that there was something in Gu Mingxi's words, obviously she wasn't sincerely praising her dedication.
She frowned and asked, "Does Mrs. Gu never work overtime?"
Gu Mingxi said with a smile: "No. Nine to five, and normal rest on holidays are the basic rights of every employee of Gu's."
Jian Ran was startled, and confirmed again: "Gu's employees never work overtime?"
"Of course," Gu Mingxi said in a joking tone: "Working overtime is simply inhumane, okay? When the employees complain, who will throw their heads and blood for Lafayette?"
Jian Ran couldn't help but laugh: "Lafayette?"
Gu Mingxi let out a 'tsk' sound and stuck out her tongue: "It's my old lady, my grandma, don't tell her I call her Queen Mother Lafayette, or she will kill me."
Jian Ran nodded: "Don't worry, keep your mouth shut."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I have 120 hearts for you, who made you my fiancee." Gu Mingxi said with a smile.
Jane reminded her: "In name."
Gu Mingxi: "Yes, yes, in name, but the fiancee in name is also a wife."
Jian Ran was noncommittal, but she obviously didn't want to continue the topic of "fiancée" with her.
Gu Mingxi had nothing to say, so she could only continue with the topic of 'overtime': "But I remember that the planning department seemed to work overtime once or twice a month. After all, the company couldn't operate without them, but I remember it was five times. Salary, anyway, they are very happy to work overtime."
Jian Ran nodded thoughtfully: "That's it."
"Well," Gu Mingxi joked, "Do you think it's weird? There are still companies in city A that don't work overtime. Others say it's incredible."
Jian Ran thought, no wonder my father has always admired Gu's personnel management very much. It can be seen from this that it is not unreasonable for Gu's rapid development to today.
Jane replied sincerely: "Very good."
"Thank you." Gu Mingxi asked with a smile, "Does Lawyer Jian consider jumping to work at Gu's, and I'll arrange a chief lawyer consultant for you. That way I can watch you every day at work, and then my little girl, I will I will serve you tea and water, and I will not hesitate to serve you."
"You're not a little girl." Jian Ran was suddenly amused by her, and said, "I can't bear to ask Gu's little Mr. Gu to serve me tea and water."
Gu Mingxi hurriedly said: "Don't, you are my fiancee, you can afford me no matter what."
Jane: "..."
Jian Ran was speechless, and the topic of'fiancee' brought this woman back again.
At this time, the car had already driven to the end of Zhongyang Avenue, and after passing the traffic lights, it was Nanying Street.
The red BMW sedan drove unimpeded all the way on the busy streets, and finally stopped in front of Guohao Hotel.
Jian Ran picked up her bag and got out of the car. Before leaving, she thought for a while and said, "I have time after work tomorrow night. I'll bring you the contract after I get off work. By the way, I'll treat you to a meal."
Gu Mingxi was flattered: "Okay! That's the deal."
Jian Ran nodded lightly: "Contact again."
After she finished speaking, she quickly walked to the hotel lobby.The time agreed between her and Sun Zhiguo has passed ten minutes, and it is still unknown whether he is still there.
Afterwards, after seeing Jian Ran's figure disappear behind the glass door of Guohao Hotel, Gu Mingxi also handed over the car keys to the security guard and entered the hotel lobby by herself.
She deliberately looked around in the hall, and she saw Jian Ran sitting down in front of a bald man.
That man is so recognizable, it is the vulture she saw in the western restaurant last time who abandoned his wife.
Gu Mingxi thought: So the client that Jian Ran wants to see is him?
Will growing into this virtue not affect Jian Ran's appetite?
Because she was too far away, she couldn't hear what they were talking about, but considering Jian Ran's status as a lawyer, she should be talking about business.
When I was thinking wildly, I heard Lin Shaozi's voice coming from the deafening speaker: "Ladies and gentlemen, the long-awaited Mr. Gu, Gu Mingxi is here, let me hear your screams okay?"
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of booing and screaming.
Gu Mingxi: "..."
She raised her head in embarrassment, and saw Lin Shaozi wearing a sexy tube top dress, holding a microphone in her hand, and Shi Shiran standing at the railing on the third floor, looking at her with a half-smile.
At this time, several little girls suddenly appeared beside her, and a little girl screamed: "Ah, it's really the little Mr. Gu of the Gu family."
Another girl confessed directly excitedly: "Gu Mingxi, I like you."
The other little girls did not dare to show weakness: "Gu Mingxi, I love you!"
After their disturbance, all the guests who were talking quietly in the hotel lobby looked at her. Gu Mingxi tugged on the buttons of her clothes in embarrassment, pretending not to know them.
Inadvertently looking, Jian Ran was also looking at her. The glass behind Jian Ran reflected light, so she couldn't see her expression clearly.
The lobby manager of the hotel suddenly ran out from nowhere, followed by several security guards. While running, the lobby manager asked anxiously, "Who moved the speakers outside for them!"
The security guard looked confused: "We don't know, maybe they moved out by themselves."
The manager scolded: "Then why are you still standing here! Why don't you hurry up, don't you hear that the whole hotel is listening to them having a party!"
The security guard quickly said, "Okay, Manager Wang, let's go right away."
Then several people hurriedly boarded the elevator.
Gu Mingxi thought helplessly, it really is Lin Shaozi's masterpiece again...
Lin Shaozi still held the microphone and shouted upstairs: "Mr. Gu, everyone is waiting for your favor, come and play."
Then, there was a roar of laughter.
Gu Mingxi looked at Lin Shaozi, who was proudly provoking her, with a blank expression, and then calmly waited for the next elevator.
When the elevator arrived, Lin Shaozi and the others had been "invited" into the auditorium on the third floor by the manager, and the manager was probably "criticizing and educating" their behavior.
Guohao Hotel is the premier high-end club in city A. The first floor is the reception desk and the lobby, the second floor is the general-grade rooms, and the entire third floor is the auditorium for various banquets, and the fourth floor is the high-end rooms. The first floor is KTV and chess room.
And this time for the classmate banquet, Lin Shaozi booked the entire third floor.
On the third floor, the grand scene where Lin Shaozi and others took the speakers outside the auditorium and shouted to the whole hotel has been controlled by the hotel manager.
Just as Gu Mingxi opened the door of the auditorium, the shining spotlight instantly hit her.
I heard Lin Shaozi holding the microphone and shouting: "Dear students from Class [-], Class [-], Class [-], and those who don't know what class, your dream lover, Gu Mingxi, has arrived—"
Then Gu Mingxi heard a deafening shout:
"Gu Mingxi, Gu Mingxi!"
"Ah, it's Gu Mingxi!"
The scene is comparable to a celebrity concert.
Now she especially wants to know how Lin Shaozi praised her to these lovely classmates during the class reunion in the past.
This rising popularity is really unscientific.
