PFC Chapter 533 Gu Xiu
Chapter 533 Gu Xiu
While she was still trying to hide herself and blend into the ancient world without leaving any trace, Zhong Ning was already standing in the court, scolding the officials and giving instructions on state affairs.
This is the regent princess who can challenge all the civil and military officials in the court of Dayong and implement new policy reforms on her own!
She actually dared to ask her to be her bodyguard!
Does she not want to live anymore?
Zhang Wanting swallowed and looked at Zhong Ning nervously, wanting to confirm whether she was angry or offended?
However, no.
Zhong Ning looked back at her with such gentle and clear eyes. She really couldn't compare this gentle young lady in front of her with the iron-blooded princess of the Dayong Dynasty.
"A Ning..." Zhang Wanting whispered, staring into Zhong Ning's eyes without blinking, "Are you, like, angry?"
"Angry? Why should I be angry? You offer me such a good job with great benefits and even give me a house. This is a piece of cake that fell directly on my head. I can't thank you enough, so how can I be angry?"
Zhong Ning was a little surprised by Zhang Wanting's expression at the moment, as if she was really afraid that she would get angry.
Knowing that she had suddenly thought of her identity in ancient times, Zhong Ning sighed and then spoke: "Ancient times are ancient times. We traveled through time and space and thought of it as a dream. People should still live soberly. Now, we are back."
"Don't have so much psychological burden!"
"Miss!"
"If you keep thinking like this, how can I rely on you for food?"
Zhong Ning blinked her eyes mischievously. This was her financial sponsor and boss, so she had to appease him.
She was very satisfied with the bodyguard job.
Where can I find a good job with a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, 15-day salary at the end of the year, and full holiday benefits?
The key point is that this boss is really generous. He gave her a house before she even started working.
This is a large flat in the center of Shanghai.
It looks like it's at least 400 square meters and is located in a high-end residential area where every inch of land is absolutely worth a lot of money.
Even if she earns all her money in her lifetime, she won't be able to buy a house like this.
"I'm glad you're not angry. I was worried about whether I might have offended you..." Zhang Wanting rubbed her arms a little embarrassedly, then said, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat!"
The two drove to an old restaurant in Hongqiao District, Shanghai.
The restaurant's layout and design are very elegant, making people feel as if they are in a European aristocratic banquet.
The perfect fusion of classic and modern allows people to enjoy delicious food while enjoying noble service.
The dishes were also extremely exquisite. For example, the caviar in front of Zhong Ning was served with ice cups and silverware, looking extremely luxurious.
The quantity is just too little.
There is also the fruit wood grilled abalone, which is very tasty and has a sticky and firm texture. Every bite is an ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds.
In the end, only rich people can enjoy it.
Fortunately, Zhong Ning had eaten a lot of delicious food in ancient times and had broadened her horizons. Otherwise, as a social animal with a monthly salary of four or five thousand, she would feel timid just coming to such a place.
"Miss Zhang!" Zhong Ningqian took a sip of rose cold-brewed Silver Needle sparkling tea and was savoring its flavor when she heard a cold voice behind her.
Zhong Ning looked back and saw a man in a high-end suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses striding towards him.
When he came closer, the familiar outline and handsome face hidden behind the glasses made Zhong Ning hold his breath.
Gu Mingzhe!
The person who came looked almost exactly like Gu Mingzhe.
Just a slightly different temperament.
Gu Mingzhe is a gentle young man who looks noble and elegant.
The person in front of me is a typical modern elite, with a cold temperament and a faint smile.
Zhang Wanting glanced at Zhong Ning's stunned expression, then stood up and said, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."
The visitor nodded slightly and said calmly, "Long time no see!"
"Oh, this is my best friend, Zhong Ning!" Zhang Wanting quickly introduced, "This is the president of Huiming Technology Company, Gu Xiu!"
Zhong Ning stood up and extended her hand, "Hello, I'm Zhong Ning!"
Gu Xiu nodded slightly, without looking carefully in the direction of Zhong Ning, and said indifferently: "Miss Zhong!"
After that, he turned to Zhang Wanting, his voice still as cold as ever, "I wonder, Miss Zhang, what do you think of the proposal I made a few days ago?"
Zhang Wanting felt a little embarrassed. She looked at Zhong Ning's unnatural hand and said softly, "I've been busy lately. I haven't thought about it yet."
"That's fine, Miss Zhang, you can think about it carefully. A business marriage will benefit both our companies. I hope Miss Zhang will consider it carefully!"
"I have something else to do. I'll treat you to dinner!" After saying that, Gu Xiu turned around and left, heading towards another more secluded private room in the restaurant.
"Well, don't get me wrong..." Zhang Wanting explained awkwardly, "He's the eldest son of the Gu Group. He started his own business and has achieved some success. Our company has a collaborative project with his family's company. We're both single, and his mother and mine have been friends for many years. That's why they brought us together."
"He studied abroad a few years ago, and I only just came back to see him recently. I was shocked, and I immediately thought of you."
"Gu Xiu is a workaholic. He'd be happy to see a merger with our company, as the two companies have dozens of collaborative projects. A merger would strengthen our relationship."
"My mom dragged me to meet him a few days ago. When I first saw him, I was shocked. He was a carbon copy of Gu Mingzhe."
"That's why I've always wanted you to come to Shanghai."
"After all, this should be your type..."
Zhong Ning was silent for a moment, then he curled his lips and replied softly, "You don't have to be like this. He is not Gu Mingzhe. I know him very well!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this is what you call a surprise, right?"
Zhang Wanting smiled apologetically, "Did you notice? You're only surprised, not happy?"
"No, I was surprised. After all, I'm very happy to see someone who looks like Gu Mingzhe!" Zhong Ning raised the bubble tea in his hand, "Thank you for remembering me!"
If Zhang Wanting hadn't contacted her first, she actually had no intention of having any further contact with any of them.
She is not a proactive person.
Most of the time, I prefer to be alone.
But if someone takes the initiative to extend an olive branch and wants to become friends with her, or even her bestie, she is actually very willing as long as their personalities are compatible.
Especially Zhang Wanting, she really had nothing to say about her.
Zhang Wanting looked at Zhong Ning, who didn't seem to react much. She just raised her glass and clinked it with hers. Then she asked, "You, don't like him?"
"How should I put it? The one I like is Gu Mingzhe, the one who took me to heart and cared for me. Even though he looks a lot like Gu Mingzhe, he's not him!"
Zhong Ning pursed his lips and continued, "What's more, we are from two different worlds now. We are from different social classes and are not a good match. We are destined not to be together."
"Fate can be created..." Zhang Wanting said in a low voice, with a dazzling light flashing in her eyes as she looked at Zhong Ning.
Like a matchmaker, eager to tie the knot, she said, "As long as you still like this face, I'll help you pursue him!"
