Chapter 223 On and Off Stage
Gu Chenxi looked up at the message sent by Gong Liu.
Gong Liu was also looking at Gu Chenxi, with a smile on his face. He blinked his eyes, as if asking Gu Chenxi with his eyes: "Are you going to run or not?"
Gu Chenxi looked at the guests sitting in the venue. They were all listening very seriously to Manager Zheng's speech on the stage. If Kong Liu suddenly stepped down from the stage and dragged her out of the exhibition at this time, the impact would be disastrous.
So, she quickly sent a message to Gong Yoo, saying, "Don't make a fuss. As the organizer, you left the show early and took me with you. It will have a bad influence and people will gossip about you."
Gong Yoo: "Look how nervous you are. I was just teasing you."
Gong Yoo was indeed joking just now. If he really caused trouble in such an important occasion, his grandfather would probably chase him for two miles with his crutches in hand.
Gu Chenxi: “?”
Gu Chenxi looked at the message sent by Gong Liu and looked up again. The smile on Gong Liu's face on the podium suddenly changed. That sinister smile made Gu Chenxi very angry.
Gu Chenxi: "Look at how anxious I am, it's interesting, right?"
Gong Yoo: “Yeah.”
The main thing is honesty.
Gu Chenxi: "Gong Liu, you are finished!"
Gong Yoo was sitting on the stage and could clearly observe the changes in Gu Chenxi's expression. He wanted to laugh, but the scene was so serious that he didn't dare to laugh. He could only hold back his laughter and pretend to be very serious.
No one in the audience knew what Gong Yoo's strange expression meant. Only Gu Chenxi knew that Gong Yoo was trying to hold back his laughter. Seeing him wanting to laugh but not daring to, Gu Chenxi, who was originally a little angry, also wanted to laugh. But she had to hold it back because she had to be dignified in such occasions.
The two people on and off the stage just stared at each other, watching each other trying to hold back their laughter.
Gong Yoo: "Don't look at me. I want to laugh when you look at me."
Gu Chenxi: "Who is looking at you? It's obviously you who is looking at me. Do you know that you look so ugly when you try not to laugh?"
Gong Yoo: "No matter how ugly he is, he is still your boyfriend."
Gu Chenxi: "Then I want to return it. I don't want an ugly boyfriend."
Gong Yoo: "I'm sorry, ma'am, we won't retreat no matter what the situation is."
Gu Chenxi: "This is forced buying and selling. I'm going to call the police!"
Gong Yoo: "Who are you hugging? Me?"
Gu Chenxi: "Shame on you!"
The two people who were originally bored were chatting enthusiastically on their cell phones less than ten meters apart.
As they were chatting, they suddenly started to compete with each other in drawing.
After Manager Zheng, who was sitting next to Kong Liu, finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the leader of another project department.
Gong Liu looked at Manager Zheng who had finally finished speaking, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "When will our meeting end?"
Manager Zheng glanced at his watch and whispered to Kong Liu, "Master, our meeting will last until twelve o'clock. After the meeting, we will go directly to the banquet hall on the second floor of B to have dinner."
"Twelve o'clock? That long?"
Kong Liu glanced at Manager Zheng's watch. It was only a little past eleven o'clock. When he thought about having to sit here for another hour, Kong Liu really felt like running away.
He then asked, "What else can you talk about for an hour?"
Manager Zheng replied: "Actually, there's nothing much to say, but the scheduled time is two hours, we can't end it early, right?"
After saying that, Manager Zheng looked at Kong Liu and smiled bitterly.
Listening to Manager Zheng's words, Kong Liu recalled the time when he was in junior high school. The old principal and the dean of studies would give speeches under the national flag every Monday. The topic could be finished in ten minutes, but the two of them would talk for hours, and it was all nonsense.
"Who said we can't prepare it earlier?" Gong Liu thought for a moment and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare food faster and serve the meal half an hour earlier."
Manager Zheng heard this and opened his eyes wide: "What does the young master mean?"
"It should be finished before half past eleven."
"That's not quite..."
"There's nothing wrong with it." Gong Liu interrupted Manager Zheng directly, "Everyone is tired of hearing such formalistic things. Look at the guests in the audience, how many of them are really listening?"
Manager Zheng listened to what Kong Liu said and nodded without refutation.
Gong Yoo continued, “Okay, just do as I say.”
Manager Zheng nodded and said, "Okay."
After Kong Liu finished speaking, he immediately sent a message to Gu Chenxi: "Baby, hold on for another ten minutes, it will be over at eleven thirty."
Gu Chenxi: "Really? But I heard from Xiaoxia that this opening ceremony will last for two hours, right?"
Gong Yoo: "I am the organizer, do you believe her or me?"
After Gong Liu finished posting this sentence, Gu Chenxi sent a [middle finger] emoticon:
Gong Yoo looked towards the audience. Gu Chenxi's phone was in Shen Xia's hand, so the emoticon package just now was sent by Shen Xia using Gu Chenxi's phone.
After receiving Manager Zheng's order, the people on the rostrum read the script faster.
The opening ceremony was originally scheduled to last for an hour, but Gong Yoo shortened it by half and ended before 11:30.
After the show, Gu Tianhan didn't let Gu Chenxi leave with him, but asked her to stay and wait for Kong Liu, and also asked her to have a good chat with Kong Liu.
From his father's words, Gu Chenxi felt that there had been some subtle changes in his attitude towards Kong Liu, but Gu Chenxi couldn't tell what the specific changes were.
"Could it be... because of the breakfast this morning?" Gu Chenxi thought to himself, but he felt that this reason was not reasonable enough.
She knew that her father's attitude towards Gong Liu would not suddenly change because of a breakfast, but she didn't know the specific reason.
Kong Liu walked up to Gu Chenxi and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Chenxi shook his head and said, "No, nothing."
After saying that, she took Kong Yoo's hand and left the venue with him.
Gong Liu and Gu Chenxi didn't like attending these business dinners, so they didn't go to the banquet hall to eat. After talking to Manager Zheng on the phone, Gong Liu took Gu Chenxi to a small private room and arranged a separate table for them.
In the box, Gu Chenxi sat next to Kong Liu and said, "Baby, can I make a small request?"
"Huh? You say."
"Xiaoxia doesn't want to eat in the hall outside, so can she eat with us?"
Gong Liu readily agreed, “Sure.”
"Ding~"
Just as he agreed, his phone rang with a message alert from Sun Yu.
After this kid knew that Gong Yoo ran into the box, he also clamored to come. He sat in the hall and people kept toasting him, which made him a little overwhelmed.
This guy is okay with drinking wine, but he is not willing to do normal drinking and business talks at all.
Kong Liu asked Gu Chenxi for his opinion, and Gu Chenxi immediately agreed.
Shen Xia is coming anyway, so one more person won’t make much difference.
A few minutes later, Sun Yu and Shen Xia walked into the quiet private room under the guidance of the waiter.
