C50 At That Time Wasn't It Still like This

After Yang Xiu and Sheng Jinnian finished their discussion, it was already noon. As usual, they would go out to entertain them.

Bai Yin went back to her office to retrieve her things.

Just as he entered the office, his phone rang again.

This time, he was definitely going to answer it. However, as soon as he pressed the button, Gu Zhangning's confident and angry voice sounded, "Why didn't you pick up my call just now?"

Bai Yin was so angry that she wanted to laugh, "Mr. Gu, don't you think I'm very free everyday? When you call me, I must immediately put down what I have in my hand to pick you up?"

Bai Yin's sarcastic tone made Gu Zhangning, who was on the other side, choked. Although he knew that she was definitely busy, Gu Zhangning still couldn't take it because her work had left him alone.

They always seemed to be quarrelling about their work, and it had always been and was always the most important thing in her heart.

She had never been able to put him first.

Gu Zhangning felt uncomfortable inside, especially when he thought back to how no matter how many meetings he had in the past, as long as it was her calling, he would never hesitate, and would always be first.

Could it be that the people who loved the most would be so lowly?

Gu Zhangning slowed down his breath and finally lowered his voice. "Does your stomach still hurt? What do you plan to eat at noon? Why don't I come to you and have lunch together with me?"

Now that he thought about it, he seemed to have never been to Golden Age. Bai Yin had worked there for almost three years, but he had never been in her company. He had never let anyone know that Bai Yin's backer was actually not Sheng Jinnian, but him, Gu Zhangning.

However, Bai Yin's cold voice still came over the phone, "I'm feeling much better. I have a social meetup today, so you don't have to come over."

After saying that, Gu Zhangning heard the elevator door open. Then came Bai Yin's words: "Alright, I'm going in, let's stop talking."

Gu Zhangning held the phone, while the other side hung up.

He threw the phone on the table. His expression was gloomy, but after a while, he got up, grabbed his phone roughly, and left the office.

On the other side, Bai Yin was meeting with Sheng Jinnian and Yang Xiu downstairs. Sheng Jinnian and Yang Xiu were already sitting in the car.

It was obvious that Sheng Jinnian and Yang Xiu had a very pleasant conversation. When Bai Yin arrived at the car, she saw a smile on both of their faces. How could they be partners? They were simply old friends.

Bai Yin got on the front passenger seat. Yang Xiu was smiling as he talked to Sheng Jinnian. When he saw Bai Yin get on the car, he glanced at her and said, "I thought Director Bai was going to have lunch with Second Master Gu at noon."

Bai Yin turned around and said, "Since Director Yang is here, we have to welcome him."

Yang Xiu chuckled, but he couldn't make out what he meant.

As the car drove away, Yang Xiu and Sheng Jinnian continued to talk about work matters. However, compared to before, the atmosphere was much more harmonious. Many times, it didn't sound like they were talking about work, but more like old friends thinking about the future.

Bai Yin leaned back in her chair. Gu Zhangning was right; today was her uncomfortable day. Now that she was sitting here, she felt pain in her stomach again.

Her face was a little pale, and she slowly closed her eyes.

When Yang Xiu was talking with Sheng Jinnian, he looked over and saw Bai Yin's face. It was clean and white, just like when he first saw her.

However, at that time, her attitude towards him was not the same as now. At that time, her smile was from the bottom of her heart, unlike now, when her smile did not reach her eyes.

He saw that Bai Yin had her eyes closed. Her eyelashes were as long as a small brush, but she didn't look very comfortable.

Wu Tie calmed his expression and continued to talk about the hotel cooperation with Sheng Jinnian.

The place Sheng Jinnian took Yang Xiu to was a private restaurant. The address wasn't downtown and it didn't seem to be high-end, but the cars parked in front of the restaurant were all high-end. It could be seen through the window that the restaurant was quite busy.

Bai Yin was the last to get out of the car.

Yang Xiu and Sheng Jinnian were shoulder to shoulder. They both turned their heads to look at Bai Yin.
