Chapter 78 - A Bouquet of Flowers

Lu Shen replied, “You’ve taught him a lesson, there’s no need for us to tell him that. The first thing he’ll do when he goes back is to change it.”

Gu Chu was very satisfied with what he said. She turned to Zhao Ting and said, “Let’s continue our discussion.”

Feng Jia looked at her back and asked, “I’ll pick you up tonight.”

Gu Chu waved her hand as an answer.

Lu Shen walked over and said, “I’m afraid that President Li can’t talk about serious matters in his current state. I’ll get someone to send him back to the hotel. We’ll talk about it another day. Gu Chu is cunning, unreasonable and willful. Don’t take it to heart. She is the youngest in the family, and her uncle and aunt spoiled her. That was why she does as she pleased…”

Although Lu Shen was scolding Gu Chu, he was secretly defending her. He said so much just to speak up for her.

A faint smile hung on Feng Jia’s lips the whole time.

The club was quite well-equipped. As Gu Chu and Zhao Ting walked towards the bar, Zhao Ting said, “You and your cousin are really close.”

Gu Chu replied, “He had a sister who was about the same age as me, but unfortunately, she had an accident when she was young and passed away.”

Therefore, Lu Shen transferred his love for his sister to her. Although she liked to ‘bully’ him, he enjoyed it very much.

That was because he felt that if his sister was still alive, she would be about the same age as her.

Zhao Ting didn’t ask any further.

When they arrived at the water bar, they each asked for a glass of water.

Earlier, Gu Chu had shouted and was teased by Feng Jia so much that her mouth was dry.

She opened the bottle and drank a few mouthfuls.

Zhao Ting was still covered in mud from the fall. She patted it for her and asked, “Manager Zhao, are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?”

“No need to go through so much trouble. I’m fine.” Zhao Ting thought of something and said, “But I forgot to thank you. Thank you for saving me just now.”

Gu Chu asked half-jokingly, “Then may I ask, can I use this small favor to make you reconsider our offer?”

Zhao Ting couldn’t help but laugh. She was really good at this

When they came in, Gu Chu sent a message to her secretary, who came in with a bouquet of flowers.

She took the flowers and held them in front of Zhao Ting. “I heard that you like lilies. On the way here, I passed by a flower shop and saw that the lilies looked good. I hope you like them.”

It was their first time meeting each other, so it was a courtesy to give her a gift. Zhao Ting didn’t lack anything expensive. She might as well just give her a bouquet of flowers.

After all, men gave women flowers, but it was rare for women to give women flowers.

Sure enough, Zhao Ting said with surprise, “This is the first time a woman has given me flowers.”

“I’m different. I only give women flowers.”

Zhao Ting smiled and said, “If it’s up to me, I’ll sell them to you at the original price.”

In other words, she couldn’t agree to her offer.

Gu Chu was at her wit’s end.

Zhao Ting smelled the fragrance of the flowers and stood up. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and wait for your reply.”

Gu Chu asked politely, “Are you not going to stay anymore?”

Zhao Ting said, “No, next time.”

Gu Chu did not force her to stay. “Be careful on the road.”

After Zhao Ting left, Gu Chu went to the lounge to change her clothes.

The secretary ran over from the side. “Director, how was it?”

Gu Chu frowned. “She wants four times the price.”

“Ah?” The secretary covered her mouth.

Gu Chu pondered. “With this price, I wonder if Shengyan is simply against me?”

That shouldn’t be the case. She rarely made enemies in the business world.

The secretary asked, “Then what should we do next? Should we go directly to the boss? Or should we ask the chairman to step in?”

Gu Chu did not answer. She looked at the setting sun in the distance. It was a beautiful sight.

After a pause, she asked the secretary, “Are you hungry?”

The secretary said honestly, “Yes.”

Gu Chu walked to the lounge. “Let’s go eat after I change.”

The secretary was excited when she heard that they were going to eat. “Sure, sure.”

Gu Chu drove her to the city center. They were going to have Thai food.

Gu Chu really asked around to find out if Shengyan had a problem with the Gu corporation, but it wasn’t the case. It was obvious that they did not want to work with the Gu Corporation.

However, even so, she could have directly rejected it. Why did she ask for such a high price? It felt like she was deliberately trying to embarrass the Gu Corporation.
