Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 427
Chapter 427 The height of ennui
The days are getting hotter by the day.
Regarding the use of Gu’s century-old building, Gu Nianbin has thought of many kinds of options, such as moving Gu back into the building, or as a branch, and has also thought of turning it into an elementary school, or a home for the elderly, to do projects of a charitable nature…
There were so many ideas that he was a little unsure and asked Du Xiaoxian to help him pick one, but it turned out that Du Xiaoxian saw those options, pondered for half a second, and said, “I always feel that there should be a better one.”
Just as Cheng Rui Chang came in to ask for work, Gu Nianbin asked him to help give a suggestion as well, and the three of them sat there meditating and finally wrote down their respective ideas.
Gu Nianbin wrote about building an elementary school, Du Xiaoxian wrote about turning it into an open memorial, and Cheng Rui Chang wrote about a memorial, only he wrote in more detail. Not only did he list Gu’s history, but he also took into account the history of business development in the entire G City.
Gu Nianbin took a closer look and felt that it was not bad, in fact, memorials are not uncommon, but there are not many of these commercial-themed memorials.
Du Xiaoxian came to the side and read it, and was pleasantly surprised, “I was thinking the same thing, I just couldn’t write it the way Mr. Cheng did.”
“Fine,” Gu Nianbin said to Du Xiaoxian with a smile, “The building is yours, so do as you wish.”
This matter, Gu Nianbin handed over to Cheng Ruizhang responsible, since he is the party proposal, should be very thoughtful.
A few days later, Cheng Ruichang handed over the specific program, Gu Nianbin was very satisfied, signed on the program, the self organized Gu’s information is also handed over to him, “Cheng, this thing will trouble you, in fact, it should have been I personally do, but recently with the European side of the cooperation is also tight, I really can not split up, so I have to work hard for you! ”
“Mr. Gu is polite,” Cheng Ruizhang smiled faintly, “It’s all part of the job and should be visited.”
Gu Nianbin nodded, “Okay, you go and do it.” Watching Cheng Ruichang turn around and walk towards the door, he suddenly remembered and called him back, “Mr. Cheng, after this period of time’s assessment, I’m very satisfied with you, the position of general manager you’re very competent, the various department managers are also appreciative of Mr. Cheng, so I decided to regularize you ahead of time, and from next month onwards, the salary and benefits will be issued on the same basis as the one that you’ve been regularized.”
Cheng Rui Zhang’s face was pleased and he leaned slightly, “Thank you, Mr. Gu.”
“It’s what you deserve. Besides, if you can help out,” Gu Nianbin said jokingly, “I’ll be able to free up time for my wife.”
Cheng Rui Chang smiled and said, “It’s really enviable that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are so in love!”
Gu Nianbin then asked, “My wife is pulling strings for you and Secretary Meng, how’s it going?”
Cheng Rui Zhang revealed a difficult expression, “Mrs. Gu is really enthusiastic, only, this kind of thing …”
He didn’t go on, but Gu Nianbin understood what it meant and laughed, “I know there’s no rush, take your time, she’s a matchmaker for the first time, you’re more or less selling some face.”
Cheng Rui Zhang was even more crying and laughing, President Gu is really a twenty-four filial husband, for the sake of his wife’s pleasure, even this kind of private matters have to be asked.
No wonder Cheng Ruizhang was having a hard time, Du Xiaoxian was really quite enthusiastic, once she put her heart on something, she was very persistent in trying to do it right.
She was inexperienced, her only military advisor was Gu Shanshan, and she had heard all the routines from Gu Shanshan.
Bought a movie ticket, the male and female protagonists one person to send a, Cheng Rui Zhang did not want to go, because Meng Zi He is really not his favorite type. But selling Mrs. Gu’s face, he still went, thinking it would be good to make things clear.
Sitting in the dark cinema, the two of them watched from the beginning to the end in silence, and when they came out, Cheng Rui Chang was a gentleman and sent Meng Zi He to his home, and when they parted ways, he said a little apologetically, “I’m sorry, Secretary Meng, I’m rather introverted, don’t like to talk, and I’m a very uninteresting person, so I might not be the type of person that Secretary Meng would like to be.”
Cheng Rui Zhang’s conditions in Meng Zi He seems, although it is good, and is a returnee, and is the general manager, but privately there is indeed some mute, not the kind of man who is very good at coaxing the girl to be happy, and listen to what he meant, it seems that she is not very satisfied, Meng Zi He is beautiful, and the heart of the people is also high, but also did not say anything, smiled and waved and went away.
When Du Xiaoxian asked about her the next day, Meng Zihe told the truth, “Mr. Cheng didn’t fancy me.”
“How come?” Du Xiaoxian was taken aback, “You’re so beautiful, your body is good, your education is high, and you’re also the president’s first secretary, how could he not see it?”
Meng Zi He then smiled, “Mrs. Gu, conditions are one thing, fate is another, not everyone is like you and Mr. Gu, fate can’t be broken.”
Du Xiaoxian laughed, “Actually, I don’t even know what he likes about me, as if they got together in a blur.”
“So it’s fate!” Meng Zihe sorted out the information in his hand, filed it, and put it in the file cabinet.
Du Xiaoxian rested her cheeks, but thought, why doesn’t Cheng Rui Chang like Meng Zi He? If it was the old Meng Zi He that was still excusable, now that she’s reformed, whether it’s on the outside or the inside, she’s quite good ah!
It just so happened that there was a document to be delivered to the general manager’s office, so Du Xiaoxian took the errand and went over with the document.
Meng Zi He of course knew what Du Xiao Xian wanted to go for, and did not point it out, it was rare that she was so enthusiastic, it was not good to discourage her, as long as she was happy.
Cheng Rui Chang was working on the project book, when he saw it was Du Xiaoxian coming in, he got up, “Mrs. Gu.”
“You get busy,” Du Xiaoxian put the papers in her hand on his desk, “I’ll just come over to drop off some things.”
“It’s fine to have the secretary pick it up, and I’m still bothering Mrs. Gu to personally deliver it here.” Cheng Rui Chang made a gesture, “Mrs. Gu, please take a seat.”
He thought Du Xiaoxian wouldn’t sit down, but he didn’t expect her to say thank you and actually sit on the opposite chair, and look like she had something to say.
It didn’t take much guessing to realize that he was going to be asked about him and Meng Zi He.
As expected, Du Xiaoxian said, “Mr. Cheng, you really don’t like Secretary Meng? She’s so pretty and capable!”
Cheng Rui Zhang laughed bitterly in his heart, but his mouth said, “Mrs. Gu, this matter, you should stop worrying about it, Secretary Meng and I are really not suitable.”
“Why?”
Cheng Rui Chang smiled and said, “Because she’s so beautiful.”
Du Xiaoxian’s eyes widened in surprise, “Not even if you’re too pretty? What kind of logic is that?”
Cheng Rui Chang looked at her with her black and white eyes open and a bit silly and thought that this Mrs. Gu was really funny. Didn’t they say that young grandmothers of wealthy families were all dignified and elegant? How come she didn’t see a trace of it?
“Actually, what I want to say is fate,” Cheng Rui Chang got serious, jokes Du Xiao Xian could never hear, he had to say seriously, “Mrs. Gu you gave us a chance to get along, but we weren’t attracted to each other, that’s called not having fate.”
“But how do you know it’s not meant to be when you’ve only been together once, and it’s not a good idea to talk at the movies, so why don’t we have dinner together next time, I’ll make the arrangements.”
“Don’t, don’t bother,” Cheng Rui Chang hurriedly stopped her. “I appreciate your feelings, Mrs. Gu, but …”
“It’s not troublesome,” Du Xiaoxian said with a smile, “I promised Cheng’s mom, I’ll make sure to get this done. Let’s have dinner together next time, even if we sell face, okay?”
Cheng Rui Chang smiled somewhat helplessly and finally reluctantly said, “Alright.”
This time Du Xiaoxian didn’t ask Gu Shanshan for advice, thinking that arranging a meal wasn’t a difficult task and there was no need to bother others.
Just her pick of the place is really not good, Gu Nianbin laughed when he heard, “You want to hold the line for others, but also pick a better place, at least quiet, the environment looks good, people are good to talk about it, grilled fish store that kind of place, and small and dirty and noisy, not suitable.”
Once Du Xiaoxian heard that it made sense, she said, “Then arrange a good place for you.”
“Well, I’m a titular president, and I even have to personally arrange things like employee blind dates.” Gu Nianbin favored and pinched Du Xiaoxian’s face, “You, you’re the one who will find nothing to do for me.”
Du Xiaoxian took him by the waist and said with a smile, “This is also a good thing to do, besides, if you solve the personal problem for Mr. Cheng, he will definitely feel more at ease in the company, and you want him to be stable because you are so proud of him!”
Gu Nianbin pretended to be surprised, “Ya, so Mrs. Gu is also quite resourceful!”
The meal was arranged on a weekend night, and with Gu Nianbin’s style, the arrangement was of course a secluded western restaurant. Du Xiaoxian has never been resistant to delicious food, but she just can never use a knife and fork well. Every time is Gu Nianbin for her to cut the whole plate of steak, only to take over to her to eat.
Cheng Rui Chang saw it and smiled, “I heard that the highest state of love is when a man raises his wife like a daughter, and it seems that Mr. Gu has completely met the standard.”
Meng Zi He raised his eyebrows, he had always thought Cheng Rui Zhang was mute, but he didn’t expect him to joke around like this.
Gu Nianbin laughed out loud, “It can’t be helped, marrying a wife who can’t do the job, it has to be like this. What else can I do?” Both hands were spread out, pretending to be helpless.
Du Xiaoxian’s face turned red in embarrassment and argued, “I can’t eat Western food well, but I don’t have any problem with Chinese food.”
Gu Nianbin laughed even harder, “As a Chinese if you can’t even eat Chinese food well, what else can you do?”
Du Xiaoxian finished before he felt that he had made a fool of himself, looking at Gu Nianbin laughing so vigorously, some annoyed and angry glared at him. In the eyes of others, it is pouting and blushing, completely lovely.
Meng Zihe never dared to be reckless in front of Gu Nianbin, but she also had the guts to joke at this time, “If we want to evaluate model husbands, I don’t think anyone in the whole of G City would dare to compete with Mr. Gu for the first place. Everyone in the company envies Mrs. Gu!”
Gu Nianbin didn’t avoid suspicion at all in front of his subordinates, looking at Du Xiaoxian with eyes full of favor, saying, “Model or not is secondary, as long as she’s happy.”
“Wow, Mr. Gu is really …” Meng Zi He tsked, “With a benchmark like you erected, how else can we find it?”
“I think Mr. Cheng is just fine,” Gu Nianbin took the opportunity to pull the strings for them, “Secretary Meng, it’s your loss if you miss out on such a good man!”
Du Xiaoxian then told Cheng Ruizhang, “Mr. Cheng, you mustn’t miss Secretary Meng,” she compared herself, “I’m like this, Mr. Gu doesn’t even mind, Secretary Meng is more than a hundred times better than me, you’ll definitely like it, really, I’m a very accurate judge of people.”
Rao Meng Zi He was generous, but also by Du Xiaoxian said the blush, even Cheng Rui Zhang is a little embarrassed, actually can not be excused, looked at Meng Zi He, said, “Secretary Meng is really good, I am afraid that I can not match her.”
“How come?” Du Xiaoxian looked at this one and then that one and said, “I think it’s quite a match, right, hubby?”
President Gu nodded his head cooperatively, “Yes, it’s quite a match, that, Xian’er, I think we’d better go first, don’t bother them here.”
Du Xiaoxian also meant exactly this, grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth, and hurriedly got up, “Right, we still have things to do, we’ll leave first, you guys take your time eating.” Saying that, she scowled at Gu Nianbin and took his arm and left.
“Mrs. Gu is so interesting.” Cheng Rui Chang kept watching Du Xiaoxian go out of the doorway before he turned back.
“Yeah, she’s pretty interesting, and is very simple person,” said Menzies Ho. “Whoever gets along with her for a long time will like her.”
“Is that so? Secretary Meng has a high opinion of Mrs. Gu!” The corners of Cheng Rui Zhang’s mouth curved slightly, his smile gentle.
Meng Zi He’s heart fluttered and her smile brightened, “Mrs. Gu also has a high opinion of Mr. Cheng!”
Cheng Ruizhang smiled and said, “If Secretary Meng isn’t in a hurry to go back, why don’t we find another place to sit?”
“Good,” said Menzies Ho, smiling more and more flirtatiously.
