C95 She Pushed the Dinner
"Tian, congratulations on winning the first place."
Kawase Yuki came to find Ye Tian at the back. He smiled at her and spoke in a gentle voice.
Ye Tian said humbly, "It's just luck. I just got lucky."
Kawase obviously didn't agree with her words and raised her eyebrows.
"Are you questioning the results of the entire jury and the audience? Your work is excellent in both the theme and the photography skills. The level of your work is recognized by everyone. This first place is not a fluke, but a foregone conclusion."
Ye Tian was embarrassed by his praise, so she had to say something else.
"By the way, why did you become the judge today? I was shocked when I saw you."
"The Kawase Group is the sponsor. I have nothing to do, so I came to join in the fun."
Join in the fun? Are you serious?
Ye Tian couldn't help but sweat. She could only smile awkwardly.
Kawase Yuki looked at his watch and invited her in a gentle voice, "Do you have something to do tonight? If not, let's have a meal to celebrate."
Ye Tian pondered for a moment.
"It's nice that we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's sit down and have a chat, old friend. How about it?"
Since he had already said so, Ye Tian would feel bad if she rejected him again. She could only agree.
...
On the other side, Gu Qinian had finished the long meeting an hour earlier. When he returned to his office, it was already nightfall.
He raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. There was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.
Han Cheng followed him in and was just about to remind him that the dinner was about to end when he heard his cold voice.
"How's the Qiming Building?"
Han Cheng was stunned for a moment before he replied with a straight face, "It's over."
Gu Qinian put down his hand and looked at him with his black eyes. "What happened?"
Han Cheng had been paying attention to the news at the Qiming Building. He had originally planned to report it after the dinner, but he didn't expect his CEO to ask about it himself.
He blinked and smiled as he told him the good news.
"Madam won the championship and it was very exciting."
As he spoke, he turned on the big TV and played the video that he had yet to turn on.
The video was recorded and saved as a reference for the competition. He was going to show it after the competition, and it was indeed useful.
Seeing his CEO staring at the screen, he couldn't help but secretly give himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Sigh, he was really a smart guy.
There was not much footage of Ye Tian in the video. When Han Cheng finished her introduction and jumped to the award ceremony, Gu Qinian was still thinking about what she had said.
Stubborn, tenacious, unyielding, and unwilling to admit defeat...
Even if she was in a desperate situation, she would never be crushed by despair...
He couldn't help but think of her in the past. It was as if she was the same even when she was in a desperate situation.
His angular face seemed to be contemplating something. His black eyes were still locked on to her brilliant smile in the video. There seemed to be something surging in the depths of his pupils.
After a moment, he raised his hand to signal Han Cheng to turn off the video. He then ordered, "Cancel the dinner tonight."
Han Cheng was stunned when he heard this and revealed a troubled expression.
"President, CEO Guan is hosting a banquet tonight. He just signed a big contract with us. You..."
"Cancel it."
"Alright."
Seeing that his own CEO did not even bat an eyelid and once again gave the order, his voice was filled with an unquestionable tone. He did not dare to say anything more and could only obediently agree.
Tsk tsk, presumably, his own CEO wanted to specially spare some time to celebrate with his wife. Even a big shot like CEO Guan could not be bothered.
...
When Ye Tian received Gu Qinian's call, she had already arrived at the restaurant.
She waved her phone at Kawase Yuki and walked to the side of the elevator to pick up the call.
"Hello, Gu Qinian, you called me a little too many times today."
From the other end, Gu Qinian's cold voice was heard. Ye Tian did not hear any emotions.
"Where are you?"
He always valued words like gold, so Ye Tian was not surprised. She replied casually, "I'm outside. It's time to eat."
Hearing that, the other side seemed to pause for a moment. "You are alone?"
"With a friend. Is there anything you need?"
Gu Qinian looked at the night scene outside the window and frowned slightly. His expression was slightly heavy.
After a moment, he said in a light voice, "It's nothing."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Ye Tian's response.
On the other side, Ye Tian was confused and confused.
What was this man doing? He always felt that he was acting weird.
Ye Tian curled her lips at the black screen and turned around to walk towards the elevator. She walked into the elevator with Kawase Yuki.
Han Cheng finally found an excuse to reject the dinner tonight and heaved a sigh of relief before returning to Gu Qinian's office.
"President, everything is ready. Do you want to go home first or... set up a restaurant?"
He asked with a smile and couldn't help but feel proud of his efficiency and insight.
There were not many assistants who were as sensible as him. He was worried about his work and his own CEO's love life.
However, just as he revealed his eight neat teeth, Gu Qinian swept his cold gaze over him, causing him to stiffen.
"Why would I book a restaurant?"
Han Cheng was stunned and his smile froze on his lips.
Then, he saw his CEO sitting back in his seat with a slightly darkened face. The corner of his thin lips curled slightly into a depressed arc and his eyes were dark and unclear.
After a while, he got up and picked up his coat.
"Go home."
Han Cheng didn't dare to probe what he was thinking about. He didn't dare to be slow and quickly followed him.
When he drove the car back to Jinghao Apartment, he saw that there was no light in the apartment. Only then did he realize what had happened.
Could it be that the madam had gone out to celebrate with someone else?
No wonder the CEO's face was so stinky.
In order to celebrate with the madam, he had specially pushed off a very important dinner. It could be seen how much he valued the madam!
In the end, the madam actually left him alone. Tsk tsk, the relationship between the two was getting stranger and stranger.
Han Cheng sighed in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on the surface. He respectfully watched his CEO walk into the door before leaving with a sense of relief.
...
The winter night was always exceptionally cold, and the night sky became darker and darker.
When Ye Tian returned home, it was already past nine o'clock.
She was in a good mood. She was humming a little tune while taking her slippers.
The lights in the living room were off, so she did not care. She dragged her slippers and walked in.
When she saw a figure on the balcony with the corner of her eyes, her heart suddenly shrank, and she was so scared that her entire body trembled.
"Who is it?!"
She cried out in alarm and looked over with a face full of vigilance.
The next second, Gu Qinian's voice came through the cold night.
"Who else could it be in my house?"
