“OK, Beibei, let us not talk about this anymore. I will treat you to a dinner tonight. We went out so many times, but we never had dinner together, this is ridiculous.”
Beibei thought about it. “I have to give Mr Gong a call.”
“Sure, I’ll lend you my phone.” Sisi handed her the phone. “Beibei, you should consider buying a phone. I’ll buy you one as a gift.”
Beibei quickly shook her head. “No!”
Li Sisi didn’t insist. In fact, phone wasn’t expensive, it was a small thing to her, but she knew that it was a big expense for Beibei.
Being good friends meant being comfortable with one another. She didn’t wish to force her.
Bai Beibei took Li Sisi’s phone and dialled the familiar number.
When the phone rang, she quietly lowered her long eyelashes. She was shy and nervous. She had not spoken to him since the kiss that night.
“Hello, who is this?” Gong Yi’s deep and pleasant voice came through the phone.
Bai Beibei tugged at her dress with her petit hand and said softly, “It’s me.”
In the CEO’s office, Gong Yi’s right hand, which was holding the pen, paused. He looked at the caller ID and frowned slightly. “Where did you get this phone?”
“It belongs to my good friend. I borrowed her phone.”
“Good friend? Is it a guy or a girl?” He asked.
“It’s a girl.”
Gong Yi’s furrowed brows slowly relaxed. He did not object to her making friends. XX university was a renowned university, and there were many talented elites.
However, it was better for her to made some girlfriends, If she had a boyfriend…
Gong Yi thought about this possibility and felt weird. He did not feel comfortable at all.
Fortunately, she was obedient and did not have a boyfriend. He worried for nothing.
“Are there any matters?” His voice softened.
After that night, she had her head lowered and did not speak to him whenever they met. Now that she had taken the initiative to call him, he did not want to scare her away again.
“Mr Gong, can I take leave tonight?”
“What’s the matter?”
“My good friend asked me out for dinner…”
Gong Yi thought for a moment. It was a good thing that she could make friends here. In the future, her horizons and social circle would have to be expanded. This was a good start.
“Sure, but don’t go to those shady places.”
“What kind of places are shady places?” Beibei didn’t understand.
“Drinking, singing, and dancing. It’s always a place full of men. It’s not a good place.”
“Hmm.” Beibei nodded hard. She couldn’t have agreed with him more.
“Also, you have to be back by 9 pm.”
“Okay.” Beibei agreed. She was a good girl.
“Then that’s it. Have Fun.”
Ajie, the secretary, listened to his CEO’s earnest and kind words to the little girl. It was as if she was his own daughter. She was not allowed to drink and even had a curfew. Ajie felt that it was funny. What kind of era was it right now? Only that little girl was obedient and listened to him.
Ajie sighed. A man treated a girl as if his own daughter. What kind of mentality was this? The CEO probably did not realize it himself.
Gong Yi gently said “88” and then hung up the phone. He looked up at Ajie, “I asked you to order a phone earlier, was it done?”
“Yes.” Ajie came for the same matter as well. He put an exquisite phone box on Gong Yi’s desk.
Gong Yi opened it and saw that it was pink. It was the same series as his phone, a couple’s model.
Couple’s model…
When he had asked Ajie to order it, he had not specifically instructed him. Now that he looked at the couple’s model, his lips curled upwards. It was not bad.
Ajie felt that his CEO was smiling like a hunter who had just caught his prey.
At this moment, his phone rang again. Gong Yi answered.
Looking at the phone number, Gong Yi picked up and said, “Hello, Xiyang.”
“Hello, Mr Gong. I’m back from America. Are you free tonight? Let’s have a drink together.”
“Sure, Xiyang. Let’s go to a bar. I’ll be the host to welcome you.”
Gong Yi knew Li Xiyang in America. As Both of them were young and talented sons of the capital, they naturally became good friends when they met.
Li Xiyang’s father was XX university’s principal. Principal Li had a scholarly life and hoped that Xiyang could inherit his scholastic incline and devote himself to the cause of education. Unfortunately, Li Xiyang was not interested in academic subjects. When he went abroad to America to study, he founded his own company, ABB.
Now, ABB was Cory’s biggest competitor, where Cory was owned by Gong YI and listed in the United States’ stock exchange.
Of course, business was business, brothers remained brothers, and heroes appreciated each other.
..
At the entrance of the bar.
Beibei was stunned. She looked at Sisi beside her. “Sisi, what are we doing here?”
Sisi smiled. “Drinking, singing, dancing, and have dinner.”
“What? No way, this isn’t a good place. Let’s change venue.”
“Why is it not good, Beibei? This place is full of fun. Come, let’s go.” Sisi dragged Beibei in.
The neon lights in the bar were dazzling. The elites took off their suits and were dancing freely on the dance floor. Beibei didn’t like this place, she wanted to leave.
She was afraid of this place. It was at this place that she lost her most valuable first time.
Besides, Gong Yi had told her not to come to such places. She was afraid that he would get angry.
“Sisi, let’s go.”
Sisi made Beibei sat at the bar counter. “We’re already here. Why are you leaving? Waiter, give us two cocktails.”
“Okay.” Two cocktails were handed over.
“Beibei, have a try. It’s delicious.”
Bai Beibei shook her head. “No, I’ve never drunk any alcohol before.”
“That’s good. Hurry up and drink it. See if you can hold your liquor.”
Bai Beibei was speechless.
“Beibei, let go of yourself a little. We came out to have fun.” Sisi took a sip at her cocktail and clicked her tongue.
Since she had said so, Beibei couldn’t spoil her mood. She picked up the cocktail with her petit white hands and took a sip tentatively.
It was cool and sweet, quite delicious.
“Beibei, is it good?”
“Yes, it’s good.” Beibei nodded.
..
At the bar’s entrance.
Gong Yi and Li Xiyang walked in. The two men were tall and handsome. They had an imposing bearing on them and attracted a lot of attention, especially from women, the moment they entered.
The two of them looked for a corner seat and sat on the sofa.
Gong Yi took off his button-down suit and placed it beside his hand.” Xiyang, how come you came back? What’s the name of your Japanese girlfriend? Isn’t she pestering you?”
Li Xiyang crossed his two long legs and said, “Don’t talk about her. We broke up.”
“You’re still the same as before. changing women faster than anyone else.”
“Of course. How many good men are as infatuated as Mr Gong?” Xiyang raised the wine glass in his hand.
