Chapter 254: The Battlefield of Two Women
Charles’ president, Charles, stood on the stage and said to the microphone: “I’m very glad that the president of Gu’s Group came to our head office in spite of his busy schedule. Let’s welcome Mr. Gu Xiao, the president of Gu’s Group, to the stage with warm applause. Say a few words for us all."
Under the warm applause, Gu Xiao walked onto the stage under everyone's gaze. Wang Xuanling, who was in the audience, kept looking at the man in his heart with admiration.The innate demeanor of a king made everyone focus on him.
At that moment, Wang Xuanling felt a kind of inferiority complex in her heart. She didn't know if she could stand by his side forever for such a man who was so good that he couldn't be better.
"He's charming, isn't he?"
The not-so-idiomatic Chinese sounded in Wang Xuanling's ears.
Wang Xuanling turned around and saw that woman, it was that Linda.
"Miss Linda, do you like our Gu Xiao?" She mustered up the courage to ask.
"Yes, but I don't deny it at all, and you like him too, don't you?" Linda replied not at all politely.
When Linda admitted that she liked Gu Xiao, Wang Xuanling felt a strange feeling in her heart. She knew that she was jealous, but she had to keep smiling at her because the other party was a senior executive of Charles. This business has to be done with their company. She, Wang Xuanling, is also a businessman, and she understands why shopping malls are like battlefields.
"Miss Linda can tell a joke." She neither admitted nor denied it.It seems that Linda is not clear about her relationship with her husband.
"You oriental women are really boring. If you like it, just admit it! You'll always be a coward and cry when your happiness slips away. I really don't know what kind of cultural education you have received." Linda shook her head and smiled.
"I think our 5000-year-old culture in China is not up to Ms. Linda to criticize! Besides, the reserve of our oriental women has always been a traditional virtue, unlike your western women's openness. Meeting someone you like is like nature. Like a courting animal in the middle of nowhere, it rushes forward desperately."
Linda didn't seem to expect that this oriental woman in traditional dress could speak so harshly, and all of these words were spoken in standard English.
"It's surprising, isn't it, Ms. Linda, I once traveled and studied in the United States for five years alone, and almost traveled all over the United States. So don't look down on oriental women, sometimes you can't do what we can do."
Wang Xuanling saw the relentlessness in Linda's eyes as well as her astonishment, smiled at her, then turned around and continued to look at the man standing on the stage speaking.
All the spotlights were on him, and even when he became the focus of everyone, he still looked calm. This was the man she loved.
"Miss Wang, I think we may not really hit it off, but there is one thing I want to ask you, I hope you won't refuse me, Miss Wang."
Wang Xuanling turned her head to look at Linda, she couldn't understand this western woman, she had already told her that she didn't like her, yet she would be so cheeky and ask herself such a request.
"Miss Linda needs my help if you have anything to do, just tell me directly, I will do what I can."
"You can definitely do this, and no one else can do it except you." Linda didn't hide it.
Wang Xuanling looked at her curiously, wondering what she could do for the senior management of the Charles Group!
Linda took out a small note from her pocket and handed it to Wang Xuanling.
"This? Miss Linda?"
Seeing Wang Xuanling's questioning eyes, Linda showed a rare unnatural expression, "This is my personal contact information. I hope to have a date with President Gu that has nothing to do with business. I hope President Gu will appreciate it."
"this?"
Wang Xuanling suddenly felt that this note was like a hot potato. This woman had clearly seen that she also liked Gu Xiao, and even asked herself to match her and Gu Xiao.She didn't know that it was okay for her to be Gu Xiao's wife, but doing this kind of thing would be too... so fucked up!
"If Ms. Wang thinks this matter is embarrassing for you, you can also refuse me."
"No, Miss Linda, this is just a matter of little effort, but I can't guarantee that President Gu will respond to your invitation, so..." Wang Xuanling shrugged as she said that, neither could she act stingy nor give her a guarantee.
"Of course I understand this. Ms. Wang just needs to hand over the note to President Gu. As for the next thing, it depends on the fate of the two of us. If we have fate, we will naturally develop. "
Linda didn't seem to care much, and left there with a charming smile.
Gu Xiao standing on the stage, although his eyes have been scanning the audience, he has always been paying attention to Wang Xuanling's situation.
Holding the note in her hand, Wang Xuanling followed Pan Yu to toast with people everywhere, but she always seemed a little absent-minded, because she was always considering whether to give the note in her hand to Gu Xiao.
If you don't give it, I don't know if it will offend that woman Linda. She is Charles's senior management. I don't know if it will affect the contract between Charles and Gu.
Just when Wang Xuanling was thinking about this, she didn't notice that Gu Xiao had stopped, and then bumped her head into Gu Xiao's back.
"Oh, it hurts!"
"I don't know what my wife is thinking? My husband is busy speaking on the stage, but you have been absent-minded here, and even bumped into me when I stopped."
Gu Xiao looked at Wang Xuanling with a livid face, looking at her a little embarrassed.
"Come on, I've been following you all night, and I haven't had a good rest since we came to New York. I haven't reversed my jet lag yet?"
Gu Xiao shrugged his shoulders, and then continued with his previous steps.
"I will end the banquet tonight as soon as possible." He said to Wang Xuanling the moment he turned his head, and a smile appeared on Wang Xuanling's face, and her heart was filled with a feeling of happiness.
But when he opened his palm and saw the note in his palm, he immediately put away his smile. What should he do with this hot potato?
Gu Xiao really kept his promise, and he ended the banquet and left the banquet hall in less than half an hour.
I met Linda at the entrance of the banquet hall, "Did President Gu leave so soon? Could it be that we didn't entertain well today?"
"Miss Linda is really joking, I left because the jet lag has not reversed."
"I don't know if it's because President Gu's jet lag is not reversed or the jet lag of this beautiful and petite lady next to you is not reversed?"
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Miss Linda really knows how to joke."
"Since President Gu is already tired, I won't bother you. It's just that I ask Ms. Wang to do it. I hope Ms. Wang can do it."
After Linda finished speaking, she left there with a smile, and Gu Xiao's complexion became unattractive, and he kept going to the hotel room with a livid face.
"Linda, what do you want from me?"
"It's...that's..."
In the hotel room, Gu Xiao looked at Wang Xuanling with a livid face as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
Wang Xuanling didn't know why Gu Xiao was so angry, tremblingly opened the note that Linda gave her, and handed it to Gu Xiao.
"You dare to give me a try! See if I will turn my face."
Being so frightened by Gu Xiao, Wang Xuanling really didn't dare to continue handing over the note in her hand to Gu Xiao.
"It's almost there!"
Seeing Wang Xuanling take back the note in his hand, the expression on his face eased a little.
"That was given to you by Miss Linda. She is a senior executive of the Charles Group. If you reject his offer, will it affect the cooperation between Gu and Charles? I think you should go see Miss Linda alright."
"Wang Xuanling, is your husband so worthless in your eyes? Are you willing to push me out? Let me tell you, American women are very open. If you ask your husband to go out at night, you should know what it will be." thing?"
"I know." She nodded solemnly, and added: "But if you are really for the company, I can understand."
……
These words made Gu Xiao so angry that he didn't know what to say. What should have been a sweet night for the two of them was ruined in an instant.
"You are great!"
After Gu Xiao finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out, then slammed the door heavily.
The moment Gu Xiao left, Wang Xuanling's tears fell uncontrollably, and he didn't know why he was crying.
Gu Xiao left the room angrily, and stood in the corridor waiting for a long time, "This damned woman has the guts not to be chased out by me."
At the entrance of the corridor, he smoked five cigarettes in one breath, but after extinguishing the cigarette butts, he saw that Wang Xuanling's door had no intention of opening, so he had no choice but to go downstairs and came to the bar on the ground floor.
Standing at the door, listening to the harsh music coming from inside, his memory came back to the memory when he and Wang Xuanling were in Maisha.
He shook his head vigorously, and said that he would not think about that woman anymore. Why is he still thinking about this woman?
Suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder, and he turned to see Linda standing there.
"Miss Linda, why is it you?"
"It seems that your Miss Wang didn't give you my note. It seems that I was surprised in vain. I thought President Wang came to my appointment? But now that we meet here, it proves that we are really close. It's fate, how do you think you're not in a good mood, are you interested in coming in for a drink?"
Gu Xiao shrugged and walked to the bar with Linda.
The girl dancing on the stage twisted her graceful figure, although it attracted many people in the audience, but Gu Xiao's eyes did not stay on her for a second longer.
After Linda saw his eyes, there was an expression of appreciation on his face. It seemed that he was right about this man, but maybe this man was destined not to belong to him.
After sitting there, Gu Xiao ordered a glass of vodka, and drank it all in one gulp.
"You seem to be in a bad mood. Be careful with such a strong drink, you will get drunk easily."
"So what if I'm drunk? No one cares about me when I'm drunk."
"Why do I feel like you are angry from what I heard? Doesn't your Miss Wang love you at all?"
"what?"
Gu Xiao stared at Linda with wide-eyed eyes, unexpectedly, Linda held the wine glass and sipped it gracefully.
"Have you seen our relationship? Why do you..." Gu Xiao was a little curious
"It's very simple. She is so excited about what I said about you. A woman with discerning eyes can tell at a glance, isn't she your woman?" Linda said with a smile.
However, after finishing speaking, she added in a low voice: "So what? This is in the United States, let alone WHOCARES?"
Gu Xiao poured another glass of wine and drank all the wine in the glass.
