Day by day, life seems to be very calm, but in Gu Ziliang's view, it is not so.
A month was about to pass, but he still didn't hear any news about Jiangbei. So when her voice lingered in his dream every day and her smile and twinkle echoed, he only felt that the days were becoming more and more painful.
On this day, he sat in the office with his back to his desk and looked out of the window at the clouds hanging on the clear sky. Inexplicably, a trace of sadness came to his mind: I don't know where Jiangbei is now and how is it going?
With a slight sigh, Gu Ziliang turned around and sat down at his desk. Just as he was about to concentrate on his work, the door of the office rang.
He frowned slightly, a little curious who would come at this time. So he raised his head slowly, and then called out to the door, "please come in!"
The door was pushed open, the secretary came in empty handed, the expression on his face could not see whether he was happy or worried. As she approached Gu Ziliang in no hurry, she said respectfully, "President Gu.".
"What's the matter? What's the matter at this time? " Gu Ziliang looked at the Secretary and asked directly.
Taking out the mobile phone, the secretary showed Gu Ziliang a message he had just received. At the same time, he said, "the person you sent me to investigate Miss Jiang's whereabouts just said that he had found some clues, which he just sent to me."
After a brief look, Gu Ziliang trembled at the news of Jiangbei and asked, "what did he say? Where are the people of Jiangbei now?"
Hesitated for a moment, the Secretary's face showed a trace of embarrassment and said: "he hasn't found out the details, but his news says that Miss Jiang met his friends not long ago. Maybe you should try to find her friends."
Frowning more tightly, Gu Ziliang seems to be asking the Secretary, but more like saying to himself: "friends? Do you mean Xiao Qian and Chu Liu Yu? "
The Secretary shook her head helplessly and didn't make a sound. After all, she didn't know how to answer.
Suddenly, Gu Ziliang closed the computer and said to his secretary, "OK, I know. You go out first. Oh, by the way, I'm going out this afternoon, so I'll cancel the previous schedule for me. "
"OK, Mr. Gu, I'll go out first." The Secretary agreed and then turned to leave.
After answering a "um" lightly, Gu Ziliang watched the Secretary walk out of the office, then took out his mobile phone and found Xiao Qian's contact information. So he secretly prepared the wording in his heart, and then he dialed the phone without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, there was a busy sound. Gu Ziliang felt anxious. He stood up, went to the sofa and sat down. He called Xiao Qian again.
This time, within seconds, Xiao Qian answered the phone: "hello? Mr. Gu
"It's me. I want to ask you if you have time in the afternoon. I want to see you. I know it's a bit abrupt for me to say that, but I really have something important to discuss with you. Do you see? " Gu Ziliang asked tentatively.
Xiao Qian on the other side of the phone is very puzzled. His brows are locked. He surmises Gu Ziliang's motives in his heart. The biggest intersection between the two people is probably Jiangbei. When he thought about it, he began to hesitate.
But in the end, for various reasons, Xiao Qian had to promise, "OK, I'll see you at one o'clock in the afternoon for ten years."
Gu Ziliang's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, as if he had grasped hope, so his whole mood became clear. Even the tone became a little more joyful: "OK, OK, see you later."
After that, they said a few words of greetings and hung up the phone. Gu Ziliang raised his mouth slightly on this side of the phone, but Xiao Qian shook his head in a worried way on the other side.
Looking down at the watch in his hand, Gu Ziliang saw that there was still plenty of time, so he decided to have lunch first, so he cleaned up briefly and then left the office.
After taking out the car in the garage, Gu Ziliang went to a high-end western restaurant he often visited for lunch, and then went to ten years coffee.
When he arrived, Gu Ziliang found that there were still ten minutes to go before the appointed time, so he found a relatively quiet seat to sit down and wait for Xiao Qian's arrival.
About seven or eight minutes later, Xiao Qian also arrived at the cafe, stood at the door and looked around. At this time, Gu Ziliang just saw him and waved to him.
Go to Gu Ziliang opposite to sit down, Xiao Qian smile politely said: "sorry, there are some traffic jams on the road, let you wait for a long time."
After shaking his hand, Gu Ziliang replied, "no, no, in fact, I have just arrived. How about something to drink?"
"Latte is fine." Xiao Qian answered simply.
"Waiter," Gu Ziliang beckoned to the waiter to order, and then said, "two lattes, thank you."
"OK, two, just a moment, please." The waiter took the list with a smile and turned to leave.
After a while, the waiter brought two lattes, still with a symbolic smile on his face: "your coffee is ready, please enjoy it. What else do you need?"Gu Ziliang and Xiao Qian said with one voice: "no, thank you."
Then the two people laughed at each other. After the waiter left, the atmosphere between them suddenly became a bit awkward. Gu Ziliang took a sip of his coffee and took the lead in saying, "Xiao Qian, actually, I came out today to ask you about Xiaobei."
Staring at the coffee cup, Xiao Qian tried to pretend he didn't know, so he said with an embarrassed smile: "to tell you the truth, it's useless for you to ask me, because I don't know the current situation of Xiaobei."
Putting down the cup, Gu Ziliang looked at Xiao Qian with pleading eyes and said, "no, you must know. After all, Xiaobei has no other relatives here. She will tell you for sure. Please tell me. I'm really worried about her and miss her. I just want to see her and see her
"This..." Looking at Gu Ziliang's sincere appearance, Xiao Qian's face showed a trace of embarrassment.
Seeing that Xiao Qian was wavering, Gu Ziliang said while the iron was hot: "please, just tell me. I really just want to see her. Help me. Just think that I owe you a favor. You can pay me whatever you want in the future. "
Looking up and seeing Gu Ziliang with a sincere face, Xiao Qian looked at him from the bottom of his heart and thought that Gu Ziliang liked Jiangbei so much that he would not do anything against her.
