“Ahh?”

Tang Chi smiled slightly, “Isn’t that perfectly justified? She was the one who wanted me to help her buy dinner.”

Perfectly justified.

Han Tian was deep in thought. No matter what, Tang Chi was not a pushover anymore. This made her look at Tang Chi in a different light.

Han Tian had a straightforward personality. Even though she usually had a good relationship with Tang Chi, she couldn’t bear to see Tang Chi being used like that so she chose not to care about it.

After all, if some people are willing to be used, it won’t matter how much you fight for that person.

Seeing that now Tang Chi was a changed person, Han Tian felt much better.

She also said directly, “This is a much better you. I noticed you hardly touched your duck blood noodles. Are you still hungry? Do you want to order some takeout? I’ll pay.”

Tang Chi shook her head, “No, that’s alright.”

The original Tang Chi usually did not eat a lot, now with another glass of milk tea, she was stuffed.

Besides, there was another thing to be concerned about.

Tang Chi walked out of the dorm, went downstairs where there was no one and called Gu Linzheng.

She hesitated before calling Gu Linzheng. Now with Gu Linye’s matter, she was more relaxed.

It was late at night, Gu Linzheng should be having his dinner now?

***

The headquarters of the Gu Group was still having an important video conference at this time. Amid the report being read out quietly, someone’s phone rang. Gu Hengxiao and the other senior management people all looked at the direction where the phone rang.

Gu Linzheng heard his phone rang and furrowed his brows. He took out his phone and hesitated a little when he saw who was calling.

Then, he raised his hand, motioned for the meeting to pause and walked out of the room to answer the call.

After Gu Linzheng left, some of the senior managers changed the subject at hand. “Is there an emergency?”

“This is the first time I see the president answering a call during a meeting.”

Gu Hengxiao also felt this was unexpected. He immediately thought of something and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Gu Linzheng who just walked out of the meeting room answered the call, “Yes?”

He whispered softly. It was hard to listen out for any emotions and he was not angered by the interruption of the meeting.

Tang Chi was unaware he was still in a meeting so she thought he was having dinner when he answered. She asked directly, “Are you having dinner?”

Gu Linzheng: “I’m still in a meeting.”

Tang Chi paused for a moment, “Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you were having dinner at this time. I’ll call you later on then?”

No matter what, it was not nice to interrupt someone when they were having a meeting.

“It’s alright, just go ahead.”

The meeting room was separated by a transparent glass so the people sitting inside could clearly see the look on Gu Linzheng’s face when he answered the phone. It was hard to tell his emotions through his vague expression. No one could tell whose call he answered.

If this person could make him answer a call during a meeting, he or she must be someone important.

“Compared to your meeting, this matter is very insignificant…I wanted to ask about Gu Linye.”

Did Gu Linye receive any payback?

“You’re asking about him?”

Upon hearing Tang Chi called him because of this, Gu Linzheng hesitated for a moment and pursed his lips, “I’ll just deduct one month of his allowance, just to warn him.”

When Tang Chi heard of this, she felt really good. However, he was still Gu Linzheng’s brother. Even if she was happy she could not be too obvious and suppressed her happiness, “Oh, I see.”

She also did not deliberately say that this solution was not too good. The fact that she did not laugh out loud was due to her self control.

“Yeah, don’t mind him. He was spoiled by our family since young, he is not a bad person overall.”
