Chapter 419: Hospitality
Gu Changfeng frowned slightly, but heard Ji Qinglin's quiet voice: "President Gu, the children in the family just graduated this year, and they rarely come to such occasions, and not many people know her. I'm worried that someone will bully her, so I have to stay at home all the time. I am at ease by my side.”
This is said as if their family is a wolf's den.
Gu Changfeng's face twitched, and he was about to assume the posture of an elder when he saw Gu Xinrui who was not far away seemed to realize something, came over again, and asked with a smile, "Dad, what are you and Mr. Ji talking about?"
Gu Changfeng's face softened slightly, and his daughter's eyes met, and he said calmly, "I have something to talk about with Xiaoji. He is reluctant to let Miss Mu be alone, and is worried that our Gu family will bully her."
Gu Xinrui smiled and took Mu Haohao's arm from the other side: "Well, I'll take Miss Mu around, I promise, before Mr. Ji comes out, Miss Mu and I will stay together, so Mr. Ji should rest assured. right?"
Ji Qinglin looked at Mu Hao Hao, and shook his head after a moment... He could vaguely guess what the Gu family meant by this, so he brought Mu Hao Hao here on purpose, and made it so obvious that he didn't want the other party to still not give up.
Under such circumstances, it was even more impossible for him to let Mu get out of his sight.
Thinking of this, he said, "Today is Miss Gu's birthday. I don't talk about business affairs. If Mr. Gu wants to drink tea, I will bring tea to the door tomorrow to disturb you."
The implication is that he also rejected the marriage request that the Gu family had not yet spoken.
Except for Mu Haohao, everyone else was a thousand-year-old fox. Ji Qinglin's meaning was too obvious, and the expressions on the faces of the Gu family's father and daughter couldn't be hung up.
Especially Gu Changfeng, after so many years, even if he abdicates now, he has never been treated like this.
Seeing that the scene was about to become stalemate, Gu Xinrui spoke again, smiling reluctantly: "Well, Mr. Ji, my father should really have something to discuss with you. Let's go to the study together. There are many famous people's pen and ink in my father's study. Miss Mu is looking at calligraphy and painting, and you are talking about things, although you are not seated together, Miss Mu will definitely be in your line of sight all the time."
Ji Qinglin looked at Gu Xinrui, frowning slightly.
Before he could refuse, the little girl already took his arm: "Okay, Ji Qinglin, let's go and have a look. It just so happens that I've been interested in calligraphy and painting recently."
She probably saw the stalemate between the two parties, and knew that Ji Qinglin refused the invitation of the other party because she was worried about her existence, so that Ji Qinglin did not refuse immediately, even if the pause time was only one second, it also showed the strength of the Gu family. .
Although Mu Haohao wanted to die, this situation was obviously not suitable. She didn't want to delay Ji Qinglin's career.
Ji Qinglin heard the words, chuckled, and reached out and scratched the tip of her nose... No matter what the reason, the Gu family must let him sit in the study, but on an occasion like today, the Gu family is also a scholar, so it won't be too ugly. of.
Besides, as long as he doesn't leave his sight, he will have no worries.
Detours have never been his style of behavior. Instead of passively accepting moves, it is better to take the initiative to directly smash all the impossible, and also tell the Gu family to stop pulling him on the idea of marriage.
Thinking of this, Ji Qinglin nodded to Gu Changfeng: "That would be annoying."
The faces of the Gu family's father and daughter were hard to see.
Before Ji Qinglin came, they had also heard rumors of Mu Haohao's actions during this period.
No matter from which aspect, she is a childish little girl who loves to work very much.
How can such a person be compared with the bright and generous Gu Xinrui.
Ji Qinglin is probably just a new picture for a while.
But such thoughts now stop at his obedience to her.
After the Gu family's father and daughter said so much, he clearly refused and remained unmoved, but when the little girl said a word, he nodded easily.
Although the goal was achieved, such a scene was like two slaps slapped on the faces of Gu Changfeng and Gu Xinrui, causing them to experience burning pain.
A group of four went to the study with different thoughts.
The Gu family has been a scholar for generations, and the various collections in the study are very rich. In the eyes of others, it is even comparable to a small collection tube. There are various showcases inside, displaying many collections one by one.
The location of the tea seat is clever, and you can see most of the huge study room. As soon as several people took their seats, although Gu Changfeng's face was ugly, he still asked Gu Xinrui to take the tea seat, and first made a flower tea for Mu Haohao.
He also prepared a small teapot for her as a spare. After seeing the little girl taking a few sips, he said, "Xiao Rui, show Miss Mu around."
Gu Xinrui complied, and took Mu Hao Hao, who had drank the antidote, to get up and walked to a place relatively far from the tea table, but Ji Qinglin absentmindedly introduced her collection of calligraphy and paintings.
Seeing the little girl's calm face, she couldn't help comparing her heart - such a girl, at first glance, is a delicate girl who is carefully cared for in an ivory tower, and can't stand the slightest wind and rain.
Gu Xinrui really didn't understand why Ji Qinglin liked Mu Haohao.
Obviously, no matter what aspect, the two do not match at all. Their appearance, age, height, knowledge, personality and temperament probably have nothing in common except for their family background.
Why is Ji Qinglin so impressed with such a little girl?
Mu Haohao's age is not enough to support her status and majesty as a mistress.
She is a sensible person, and she knows that Gu Xinrui is the best choice.
It's just that the facts are obviously unexpected. Right now, I can only hope that my father can persuade Ji Qinglin.
Gu Xinrui couldn't hold back in the end, she glanced in Ji Qinglin's direction, and when she entered her eyes, she saw that the man's eyes were almost glued to the girl beside him.
On the other hand, Ji Qinglin saw that although the Gu family's father and daughter looked calm, they did not neglect Mu Hao Hao, and their expressions were also slightly calm.
Seeing the little girl walking around with Gu Xinrui within sight, he turned his head and looked at Gu Changfeng, who happened to be making tea and handed it to him: "This year's new tea, try it."
Ji Qinglin tapped on the table with his fingertips, looked at Chengjiang's translucent tea soup, and said, "President Gu loves, but unfortunately Ji is not a tea lover. No matter how good tea is, in my eyes, it is no different from boiled water. President Gu loves tea. Better to find someone with the same hobbies."
There is sandalwood in the study room, and the Gu family prides themselves on the fragrance of books. To do this is tantamount to breaking the boat, and how can Ji Qinglin be able to retreat.
Gu Changfeng was not annoyed by his pun, he picked up the teacup and sniffed lightly at the tip of his nose, with the master's calmness: "Young people who pursue new innovations are always less patient with traditional culture, and Xiaorui is also a child. In the same way, every time I ask her to drink tea, she always dislikes it in every possible way, saying that such cumbersome and hot things can be compared to quick and convenient coffee. She doesn't like tea so much, but occasionally entertaining elders, she has to drink with her obediently. Tea, and even practiced a good tea skill for this."
"Similarly, Mr. Ji doesn't like tea culture, but in the face of old-fashioned people like us, we have to restrain our personal preferences and drink tea together."
Gu Changfeng looked at last Ji Qinglin: "As a high-ranking person, most of the time, what you like is not important, what matters is whether it is suitable or not."
He slowly fell to the scented tea that Gu Xinrui had brewed earlier, with the same pun: "It's like this scented tea, although it smells good, it is also tea, Ji always feels fresh, and it is harmless to drink occasionally, but if it is on the table, the scented tea will It looks a little thin."
"I believe that from the perspective of President Ji, you should understand that in the real business field, no one will treat guests with scented tea."
