C105 Master Jing Shi

There was still an hour before work ended, but Ye Tian couldn't sit still.

She occasionally swiped her phone, but she didn't care about what others were saying. Instead, she looked at the Gu's Group's statement repeatedly.

That short sentence seemed to have an endless attraction, and it firmly wrapped around her heart.

She looked at the time again and took a deep breath. She picked up her bag and left with Linda. She went straight to the Gu's Group.

...

On the other side, Gu Qinian was standing in front of the French window. He held his phone in one hand and put it by his ear, while his other hand was in his trousers.

"Uncle, I'm sorry for troubling you this time."

His voice was gentle, and it was rare for him to show such respect. He sounded humble and polite.

On the other side of the phone, Jing Shi was sitting on a recliner. He lightly sipped a mouthful of tea and placed the teacup on the bamboo table by the side.

"It's not troublesome. It's not entirely because of you. I saw that girl's work. She is indeed very capable. She is a good piece of jade. If she is polished, she will definitely become a great person."

As he spoke, he sighed faintly. "The photography industry in the country has been stagnant for the past two years. It's time to pour in a new source."

For some reason, when he heard him praise Ye Tian, Gu Qinian felt a sense of pride. His eyes and brows were filled with a hint of ambition.

"Uncle, tomorrow, the Competition Organizer will hold a banquet. If you have time, come."

He invited him gently, but he didn't have much hope. After all, Jing Shi had not participated in such an occasion for many years.

Unexpectedly, Jing Shi agreed to it.

"Alright, that little girl will go too. I want to meet her."

His voice carried a warm smile and he deliberately teased him, "Qinian, you are so lucky to have married that little girl. Why haven't you held a wedding ceremony for so many years?"

Gu Qinian was stunned by his sudden question and his heart was beating fast.

Wedding ceremony? When the two of them got married, it was all because of a scheme. He had never treated it as a real marriage before, so how could there be a wedding ceremony?

Furthermore, there was another agreement between the two of them...

His eyes were filled with gloom. Before he could reply, he heard another voice.

"I think this girl is not bad. Don't neglect her just because you're busy. You have to make up for her. When the time comes, invite me to your wedding."

When Gu Qinian heard this, he hummed in acknowledgement. After a moment of silence, he added in a low voice, "Of course."

"Right." Jing Shi stopped teasing him and changed the topic. He casually asked, "I heard that your parents are coming back?"

"Yes, they'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Haha, that's great." Jing Shi laughed heartily, "Your father is such a good chess friend. I'll have to go find him someday to play with him!"

Gu Qinian replied in a gentle voice, "Alright, I'll send someone to pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and sat back down on his desk. Han Cheng happened to walk in at that moment.

"Have you settled everything?" He asked first.

Han Cheng nodded. "Yes, the competition organizer has already sued several online media studios that spread rumors. Our people have also sued a newspaper."

Pausing for a moment, he looked up at his own CEO and hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"Kawase Yuki was the partner that Madam worked with before. Apart from that, we didn't find any other connection. Those rumors were all baseless and were purposely spreading dirty water on Madam's body."

Gu Qinian was silent for a moment. After a moment, he asked in a light voice, "Who was the person who spread the rumors?"

Han Cheng hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

However, Gu Qinian already knew. His eyes were dark and his thin lips were pressed into a line.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The secretary walked in.

"President, Madam is here."

Hearing that, Gu Qinian's expression changed slightly. It was a little unexpected, but also a little expected.

"Yes." He let out a syllable from his nose.

Han Cheng and the secretary immediately understood and tactfully left.

"It's rare to see Ye Tian come to me on her own accord."

The moment Ye Tian walked in, Gu Qinian's indifferent voice sounded.

She was in a good mood and didn't argue with him. She walked to the desk and stared into his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were the biggest sponsor of this competition?"

Gu Qinian leaned back and raised his eyebrows. "This is the company's decision. So what if I tell you?"

Ye Tian rolled her eyes and smiled brightly.

"If you tell me, I will know about it sooner. Then I will let you help me. This is the most efficient way."

Gu Qinian did not take her words seriously. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"Why don't you explain to me?"

Ye Tian knew what he was referring to. She smiled and curled her lips.

"I'm here to explain to you."

She turned around and walked towards the sofa. She sat down lazily and casually explained.

"I do know Kawase Yuki. We worked together before, but I found out that we knew each other many years ago. We can be considered friends."

It was more private about the specific situation of Kawase Yuki. She did not want to say too much, so she only briefly explained it.

"After all, the internet is so unpleasant. When the time comes, you will think that I have cheated on you. You won't know what to do to me."

Gu Qinian was originally surprised when he heard that Ye Tian and Kawase Yuki knew each other. However, when he heard the latter half of her words, he couldn't help but frown.

"I'll make things difficult for you?"

Ye Tian glanced at him. "Don't tell me you don't? Then what happened to Ren Yuanhua and Lin Anna?"

Gu Qinian pursed his lips and fell silent.

After a moment, he changed the topic.

"The Competition Organizer is preparing a banquet tonight. Let's go together."

Ye Tian was stunned. "I haven't received an invitation yet."

Gu Qinian glanced at her. "So, you were informed?"

After all, they were a couple. This was something that everyone in Ann City knew.

Ye Tian curled her lips. "That's too insincere. It feels like a notification to tell me that I don't want to lose face."

"Jing Shi will also go."

Ye Tian immediately stopped muttering and stood up. Her eyes were wide open in disbelief.

"Are you serious? Master Jing Shi is going too?"

Seeing her reaction, Gu Qinian raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Why? Do you admire him a lot?"

"Of course!" Ye Tian snapped her fingers. "Please, everyone in the photography circle admires him. He's a master of the world! I even have his collection!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She felt like going there tonight.

Gu Qinian smiled when he saw this. His mood suddenly seemed to have improved.
