"Time to eat." Xia Fucheng called after her.
Thinking about Xia Fucheng's words, Gu An Xia started to ponder. If Xiao Boming had called her secretary, then how did Xiao Boming know the number? And should she say thank you to him?
Hesitating, Gu An Xia took out his phone from his bag, and found his number from his contact list. His hand stopped at a few centimeters away from his keypad, unable to move for a long time.
She suddenly didn't know what to say, so she couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she directly expressed her thanks.
Gu An Xia rubbed her hair once again, her hair that was originally tied up in a bun.
At this time, Xiao Bai Ming's caller ID suddenly appeared on the screen of the phone. Gu An Xia was suddenly shocked and almost dropped his phone.
She patted her chest, where her heart was racing with fear, and tried to calm herself.
Taking a deep breath, Gu An Xia pressed the answer button.
"Wake up?" Xiao Boming's gentle voice came from the other side, making people feel as if they were being bathed in spring wind.
"Ah, I'm up." Gu An Xia casually asked, and then asked, "Have you eaten?"
It was the most polite greeting a friend could give to a friend.
"Yes." A soft sound rang out. It was as if the other side did not know what to say. Suddenly, they fell silent.
After a long while, Gu An Xia could not help but look at the screen of his phone. The other party did not hang up, and in the end, decided to open his mouth and break the deadlock, "Um … Thank you for last night. "
"Actually, you don't have to be courteous to me." It was unknown if it was just an illusion on Gu An Xia's part, but she seemed to have heard a trace of helplessness in his words.
Not knowing what to say, Gu An Xia said "Goodbye" and quickly hung up.
She turned and looked at the alarm clock on the wall. There was still some time before they left. Gu An Xia rubbed her shriveled stomach, got up and went into the living room to look for food.
......
In the huge meeting room, the atmosphere was heavy, the people on the board sat with serious faces, waiting for Gu An Xia to come.
The sound of her high heels was getting closer and closer. The secretary opened the door, and Gu An Xia walked in gracefully with a smile, naturally giving off a haughty atmosphere, giving off a leader's demeanor.
She took the lead seat and smiled. "Let's begin."
"So with regard to CEO Gu's re-appointment as executive director, the vote will now begin." The Vice Chairman said.
At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside.
The security guard stopped them with difficulty and said anxiously, "You really can't go in, there's a meeting going on inside."
Everyone turned to look at the door, only to see the door to the meeting room was pushed open and a group of men in black came in.
Gu An Xia suddenly got up, and shouted, "What are you doing!?"
No one replied her, they only stood in two rows without saying a word. A black-clothed person holding a big bouquet of roses walked in front of Gu An Xia, respectfully handing the bouquet to her, and said, "This is a gift from Young Master."
"Young Master?" Gu An Xia thought that it was a suitor from a rich family, and frowned as he received it impatiently. He saw that there was a delicate card among the roses, and on it, a name of Ouyang Yu's real name was written on it.
It was him!
Gu An Xia's face instantly turned pale white, and she let go of the flower in her hand in shock, as if it was burned into her hand.
The big bouquet of red roses fell to the floor, scattering a few petals that made the floor of the conference room look very bright.
"The young master told me to pass the message, he'll be waiting for you at 8 o'clock tonight." The man in black said in a serious tone, bowed respectfully, and then led the group of people away.
Gu An Xia was so shocked that he couldn't speak at all. His entire mind was blank, with only one thought remaining: Why is he here?
Seeing that everyone was starting to discuss softly, the Vice Chairman could not help but cough twice and reminded Gu An Xia, "CEO Gu, we are still in a meeting."
Gu An Xia immediately regained his senses, he wiped the shock from his face and calmly sat down, "Everyone, please continue."
The members of the board of directors were silent as well. Their serious expressions returned to normal. The atmosphere in the meeting room grew heavy once more, but there was an indescribable delicacy mixed within.
The voting started, but Gu An Xia was somewhat distracted, her eyebrows slightly knitted, as though she was thinking about something, and did not pay attention to what everyone was saying.
She never thought that Ouyang Yu would appear in Z Nation and had already found her.
When did he find her and why did he invite her to the villa? Gu An Xia was unable to understand.
This explosive news was too sudden and caught her off guard, causing her to be at a loss of what to do.
Should she go and see him? If so, what should I say? No matter what kind of mood he was in, Gu An Xia felt that she was unable to face him.
She would feel scared. She really feared that if she saw him, she would never be able to forget that face.
Since it was already impossible between them, they shouldn't think about each other anymore, let alone give her hope.
So, no matter what, she wouldn't be able to keep her appointment tonight.
The feelings that have already ended, let it keep the end.
Gu An Xia secretly clenched his hands under the table, reminding himself to be ruthless.
"Then, a majority of people voted to congratulate CEO Gu on becoming the executive director again." The Vice Chairman suddenly stood up and announced.
The result was as expected, smooth to the point where there was no suspense.
Gu An Xia regained her senses. She stood up indifferently, gave a polite smile, and responded, "It is my honor to return to this post and thank you all for your trust. I will definitely work hard in the future and lead the group towards a brighter future.
Applause immediately rang out.
Then she asked, "I think there's been a little problem at the American branch recently."
"The company has already sent people to deal with it. It will be done in a few days …" The secretary reported, but before she could finish, Gu An Xia waved his hand to stop her.
"I will deal with it myself. Ann, help me book the fastest plane ticket. I'll leave later."
Ann was the female secretary's English name. She nodded and left in a hurry, causing the whole meeting room to be in an uproar.
Gu An Xia also stood up immediately, smiling as he looked at everyone, "The meeting is now over, let's disperse."
As soon as she said that, she left the stage with an indifferent expression on her face.
After rushing back home, Gu An Xia immediately rushed into his room to pack his luggage. He did not even bother to fold his luggage, much less bring what he wanted, he just simply packed a few sets of clothes, put on his passport and other documents, and a bank card, and was about to leave.
Without enough time to stop her, Xia Fu Cheng stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted at her departing back, "An Xia, where are you packing your luggage to?"
