"Waiter, order the dishes and wine. Accompany me today, you order." Long Fei called the waiter over and said to Guo Jian.
"Waiter, one serving of durian stewed chicken, one serving of honey barbecued pork, and one serving of sizzling beef. A bitter gourd. A bottle of 1982 Lafite." Guo Lijian said without even looking at the menu.
"You come here often."
"No, occasionally." He could be so skilled mainly because he brought Guo Xueqing here two days ago. Xueqing was frustrated in love and her thesis was rejected. She was in a bad mood, so he brought her here for a meal. He told her that if someone from his family wanted to be above others, they had to suffer the most.
Long Fei glanced at Long Manqin and Jiang Qing and said,""What do you think of that man? Is he worthy of my sister?”
"Your sister has good taste. That man is quite good. He's really her boyfriend!”Guo Lijian said with admiration.
"It should be. What do you think is good about him? I heard from my father that he charmed my sister.”
"Your relationship with your father has improved.”
"His feelings for her didn't improve much. He mentioned it to Lu Wanli two days ago.”
"I see. He's really a good person. Although I've only seen him for a moment, I feel that he's calm, modest, neither servile nor overbearing, and has some righteousness. I don't need to describe his looks. If I were a woman, I would probably fall in love with him too.”
"If you see me, do you want to marry me?”Long Fei asked in amusement.
"I don't want to." Guo Lijian replied firmly.
"Why?" Long Fei was just asking casually. He did not expect Guo Lijian to deny it so straightforwardly, so he was a little curious.
"Because you're not him. You don't have his natural charm that can bewitch women.”Guo Lijian glanced at Jiang Qing and said. He just wanted to tease Long Fei.
"Then this time Manqin really found the right person.”Although Long Fei said that, he was thinking in his heart that Jiang Qingtian was naturally able to charm a woman's heart. Why didn't he see it?
"Her taste is better than yours." Guo Lijian naturally meant that Luo Yijie was not as good as Jiang Qing.
"I had no choice. I was forced to. How could I compare my love with Manqin's?”
"Your dad's idea."
"Yes."
"Prepare to obey."
"I can't answer you right now.”
"Waiter, open the red wine."
"Alright." A handsome waiter in red embroidery took out a bottle opener from his pocket and carefully opened the red wine. He asked professionally and politely,"Sir, would you like me to pour you some wine?”
"No need. You can go down. We'll do it ourselves.”Guo Lijian said as he took the red wine and filled the two glasses to the brim.
"By the way, you haven't told me today why you're unhappy.”
"Why? Do women in this world have a conscience?”Long Fei swallowed a mouthful of red wine and said sadly.
"What do you mean?" Guo Lijian said as he took a sip of red wine.
"That assistant of mine, you said that I treated her so well. She even reported to Lu Wanli every day. I almost treated her as one of my own.”
"You mean Mu Zixi?"
"Who else could it be if not her!"
"She might have been forced to do so. It's not like you don't know Lu Wanli's character. I'll persuade her not to do that.”
"I gave her a chance. I was honest with her first and then asked her what difficulties she had. She didn't say anything and betrayed me. I wanted to fire her. Perhaps I would feel better if I didn't see her.”
"On account of our many years of friendship, can you keep her? She's a good girl. As long as you put your heart into it, you'll realize how good she is.”Guo Lijian immediately persuaded nervously.
"Is that so? Are you on good terms with her? Why are you speaking up for her?" Long Fei didn't want to fire her at first. He was just saying that. If Mu Zixi really left his sight, perhaps his life would be meaningless. Seeing Guo Lijian's nervous expression and trying his best to comfort her, he felt an indescribable jealousy and curiosity in his heart. Could it be that Guo Lijian was interested in her?
"I like her. How about it? With this reason, you can promise me not to fire her, right?”Guo Lijian said straightforwardly.
" Really?!" Long Fei's voice was a little hoarse. He had seen the two of them together at Gu Ruyi's Party, and Mu Zixi had also said that it was all thanks to Guo Lijian's help. He knew that it was true, but he still did not want to believe it. He wanted to confirm it again.
"Really, she's very good." Guo Lijian said as he played with the half glass of red wine in his hand.
"When did your taste change? She doesn't seem to be your type.”When Long Fei said this, his heart was pounding.
"I haven't changed. I've never met someone like her before.”
"Is that so? I promise I won't fire her.”Long Fei thought, Could it be that Mu Zixi also likes Guo Lijian? She mentioned him in the park last time. Could it be that the reason why she couldn't see how good he was to her was because of this person in front of her? His heart felt a little stifled.
"Thank you. Come, for our friendship, let's have a toast.”Guo Lijian was very happy to see Long Fei agree. He thought that Mu Zixi had been quiet and absent-minded these days. It must be because of this. Now, he had helped her solve it.
"Alright." Long Fei raised his glass. Guo Lijian had been his good friend since he was young. He was a good brother. Other than heartache, he never dared to say that he actually liked Mu Zixi. It was precisely because he loved her deeply that he hated her. He could be domineering in front of anyone, but in front of Guo Lijian, he could not do it. His heart was filled with contradictions and pain, and he did not know what to do. He felt that his life was very chaotic at the moment, and he had never felt so chaotic before.
Long Fei drank cup after cup of wine. Not only did he not relieve his worries, but he became even more worried. He lit another cigarette and started smoking. Guo Lijian, on the other hand, was in a good mood as he carefully tasted the delicious dishes. He would occasionally take a sip of red wine. When they woke up, they had sex together. After they were drunk, they dispersed. The night was filled with lights. Long Fei was drunk and Guo Lijian was slightly drunk. Long Fei called Xiao Hu Lai to pick him up in a daze. Guo Lijian said that he could just go and take a taxi. He only felt relieved when he saw Xiao Hu help the drunk Long Fei into the Ferrari.
Guo Lijian was still clear-headed. He was thinking about how to talk to Mu Zixi about Lu Wanli and find an opportunity to confess his feelings to her.
The next day, Guo Lijian arrived at the company early. He knew that Mu Zixi usually arrived early. When he reached the second floor, he saw that Mu Zixi was already reading an e-book on the computer.
"Zi Xi, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you.”
"Alright."
"Have you ever treated me as a friend?”The two of them walked to a quiet chair in the company and Guo Lijian said.
"Of course. You've helped me so many times. I've not only treated you as a friend, but also as an older brother.”
"Oh." Guo Lijian frowned, wondering what he meant by treating him as an elder brother.
"Why are you looking for me so early in the morning? As long as I can help you, I'm willing to go up a mountain of knives, into a sea of fire, or into a pot of oil. After you helped me, I was touched and made a promise in my heart.”Guo Lijian didn't know if he should be happy or sad when he heard her reply. She was clearly thinking of repaying a debt of gratitude. This feeling of repaying a debt of gratitude made him feel that she was actually very distant from him.
"It's not as serious as you say. I'll just ask you a question.”
"Alright, what's the problem?"
"Do you report Long Fei's whereabouts to Lu Wanli every day?”
"How did you know about this?”Mu Zixi thought to herself,'It's over. Even Guo Lijian knows. Long Fei must know. Otherwise, why would he ask her that question when he delivered the documents that day?'
"Long Fei told me. Why didn't you tell me about this before? Do you know that Long Fei almost wanted to fire you?”
"I thought about that too, but I felt that no matter how cold Long Fei was, he might still be better than Chairman Lu, so I chose to hide it from him. What should I do now? I've only been in the company for a month, and Director Lu asked me to report to her about Longfei. Otherwise, she told me not to do it. She cared too much about this job, so I gave in.”Mu Zixi said shyly.
"But you can't do it either. You're so stupid. Aren't you afraid of going to jail for violating other people's privacy?”Guo Lijian was a little surprised. Mu Zixi was really not as good as he had imagined. He had to carefully examine her now.
In fact, in this world, no one could achieve the perfection of others 'ideals. Guo Lijian understood this, but he was still disappointed.
"It's not that serious, right? Chairman Lu said that he was concerned about Manager Long, so he asked me to report it.”
"How can you believe her words? Don't you know what kind of person she is?”
"Actually, I know it's not good to do this, but I really needed this job at that time. I thought that Manager Long was her son, and it was normal for her to care about him, so I agreed.”
"You don't know. Lu Wanli and Long Fei had been fighting in the Long family? Don't you know that Lu Wanli is Long Fei's stepmother?”Guo Lijian was surprised by Mu Zixi's explanation and asked back.
"Oh my god, I was wondering why they didn't keep in touch. It turns out that Chairman Lu is Manager Long's stepmother.”Mu Zixi thought to herself that the people in the company usually liked to gossip, but she had never heard anyone mention this.
"It's normal that you don't know. Before you came, Chairman Long told all the employees at the staff meeting that no one was allowed to talk about his family affairs. If anyone heard it, he would leave the Long Corporation immediately. I forgot about that."
"What should I do? I'll go apologize to Manager Long! If I really can't keep this job, I'll quit.”Mu Zixi felt even more guilty. Although she had supervised Long Fei for so long and did not provide any meaningful information to Lu Wanli, she still felt that it was disgraceful.
"Go and apologize. He won't fire you. I've already told him not to do it in the future. I'll talk to Lu Wanli about it.”
"Thank you." Mu Zixi's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't expect Guo Lijian to appear again to solve her problem.
"It's almost time for work. Go to work. Remember to find a time to apologize to Long Fei.”
"Alright."
Guo Lijian watched the slightly thin Mu Zixi walk to the company and shook his head. He was filled with pity and thought that this girl was really simple and honest to the point of being stupid. Fortunately, she met him. He really didn't know how she lived before he appeared in her life. This made him even more determined to protect her.
