Ye zhi coincidentally waited outside the study for a long time until gu mohan hung up the phone before knocking on the door and walking in. She didn't mean to eavesdrop, but when she brought the coffee up, she heard gu mohan's phone call. The gu family was in danger. She didn't want to disturb gu mohan at this time and waited outside the door.
From the tone of gu Mohan's voice, the person opposite him should be his father. His father wanted to use her to help gu resolve the crisis. Ye zhiqiao also understood.
"You're here? Have you eaten yet?" Seeing her come in, gu mohan immediately put on a relaxed look.
Ye zhiqiao put the coffee by his hand and looked at him deeply, "Don't hide it from me. I know the situation of the company. Just now... You called... I heard it too. I'm sorry."
Hearing what she said, gu mohan was even more apologetic than she was. He quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand me. My father was only in a hurry for the company to make such a proposal. I have already rejected him. I will never do anything that would hurt you!"
"No..." Ye zhiqiao shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant. In fact, I think there's nothing wrong with describing little treasure as my daughter. I already think of her as my own child. If this can solve the problem that gu shi is facing, then..."
"No!" Gu mohan refused without even thinking, "Absolutely not. Don't think about it anymore. I won't agree."
Ye zhiqiao was puzzled and asked, "Why? I'm not the president of the gu family. I'm just a designer. Having kids doesn't affect my life at all. On the contrary, if it happens to you, it might put the gu family in a difficult position. There are so many employees of the gu family that they might even suffer losses."
She sighed, walked up to gu mohan and continued to patiently advise, "Little treasure will become my child sooner or later, won't he? What does it matter if it's earlier or later?"
Gu mohan closed his eyes and shook his head.
He took ye zhiqiao's hand and said, "That's different. You were married by me on the open, and now you come out to block the gun for the gu family, there are two different concepts. I know you want to help me, but if I agree with you, I won't be a man."
"Gu mohan..." Ye zhiqiao understood his thoughts, but she still wanted to persuade him.
Gu mohan gave her a peck on the lips and stopped her from speaking, "All right, leave this to me. I'll take care of it. As for you, just stay at home and play with little treasure. Don't worry about anything else."
Ye zhiqiao had no temper at all because of his appearance, so she nodded helplessly. Seeing that he was going out in his coat, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"Looking for Qin Baiye." Gu mohan grinned at her, then turned to open the door and walked out.
Outside the door, the smile on gu mohan's face immediately disappeared. He took out his cell phone and called Qin Baiye gloomily. He asked him to meet him at the company and then drove off.
When she arrived at the office, Qin Baiye had been sitting on the sofa waiting for half a day.
"There's a traffic jam. I'm late." Gu mohan explained casually.
Qin Baiye would not blame him, jokingly said: "Is it unlucky for people to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, and meet a red light on the road?"
Gu mohan glanced at him, took a deep breath, leaned back on the sofa and said, "When is it time to ask a dog-headed military adviser like you to help me think of a way? Are you still making fun of me?"
Of course, Qin Baiye knew the purpose of gu mohan calling him here. Besides his own company and jian mengqi's studio, he was most concerned about gu shi. Who made him get along well with gu mohan? However, because he was close to gu mohan and knew his temper, he did not dare to tell gu mohan what he thought.
"Then if I tell you, don't get angry." After hesitating for a while, Qin Baiye said in a negotiating tone.
Gu mohan waved his hand, "Tell me. You know I must be angry anyway."
"...
Qin Baiye knew gu mohan so well that he was not joking. However, in order to solve gu's urgent situation, he couldn't care less. He honestly said, Thinking of little treasure as her own child and explaining to the outside world that this child has nothing to do with you should be the only effective way."
As soon as he finished speaking, the teacup on the table in front of gu mohan had already been swept to the ground, and then there was a crisp thud.
Qin Baiye had long guessed that this would be the result. He knew exactly what position ye zhiqiao had in gu mohan's heart. Gu mohan would never agree to let ye zhiqiao take the blame, but he really couldn't think of any other way.
Gu mohan returned to the back of his chair and closed his eyes.
He knew he shouldn't be angry with Qin Baiye, but in half a day, it was first gu father, then ye zhiqiao, and now Qin Baiye. The people he trusted the most were trying to persuade him to let his favorite woman out to block the gun for him. How could he hold back his anger? The situation in gu's family had not been resolved, and the growing ferment of the situation had already caused him to worry. Hearing this kind of contrary statement time and time again was undoubtedly worse. He had to force himself to calm down and empty his head.
There was a long silence in the office. Gu mohan and Qin Baiye sat side by side. Although there was no communication, neither of them felt uncomfortable because of the scene. They had known each other for more than 20 years.
At this moment, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in, reporting that president shen of Shen shi group had come.
Gu mohan sat up and met Qin Baiye's gaze. Both of them were wondering what shen Qingyuan was doing at this time.
"Let him in." Gu mohan said to his secretary.
In less than two minutes, the nervous shen Qingyuan strode in. He nodded at Qin Baiye, who was standing by the side, then came to gu mohan, who was about to get up, and said with a heavy heart, "President gu, I'm sorry that shen came a little late. I didn't hear about your company's predicament until half an hour ago. After knowing the general situation, I rushed over immediately. See if you need any help. Shen will do his best."
"Thank you, president shen." Gu mohan pretended to thank him, but the corner of his eye glanced at Qin Baiye.
