Chapter 109 : Her Sadness Does Not Mean She Does Not Trust You, But It Is Because She Cares Too Much

Chu Zhaoyang's phone had been ringing since he got into the car. They were all calls from reporters.

Hang up one, and then it rang again.

Chu Zhaoyang was so annoyed that he simply turned off his phone.

But Chu Zhaoyang's phone couldn't be reached, so the reporters called He Haoran's phone.

They were all just calling for confirmation after they had just learned the news, but were not at the scene just now.

"Turn off the phone." Chu Zhaoyang said in a deep voice.

He Haoran could see that Chu Zhaoyang was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to let the phone ring any more and immediately turned it off.

Jiang Xiangxue curled up her lips and said, "Brother Chu, let the car stop in front. I'm going to the store to pick up the clothes I want to wear tonight and do some styling."

Chu Zhaoyang said nothing, and He Haoran stopped in front.

Before getting out of the car, Jiang Xiangxue smiled confidently and sweetly at Chu Zhaoyang: "Brother Chu, we will meet tonight."

"…" Chu Zhaoyang paused and nodded lightly, "I'm looking forward to it."

Completely unexpected that Chu Zhaoyang would say this, Jiang Xiangxue looked surprised, and immediately smiled and nodded, her eyes bright: "Me too."

Gu Nian was the first to change clothes, and the image of Chu Zhaoyang and Jiang Xiangxue standing together kept flashing in her mind.

First they had dinner together, and then Jiang Xiangxue said some ambiguous words to reporters, but Chu Zhaoyang did not refute.

If Chu Zhaoyang had nothing to do with Jiang Xiangxue, then why didn't he say anything when Jiang Xiangxue said those words?

Even at the end, he gave the reporter the same affirmative answer.

Gu Nian gritted her teeth and her lips could not help but tremble more and more.

Just now, he clearly saw her, but he didn't say anything and pretended not to know her.

Jiang Xiangxue even held his arm.

Gu Nian bit her lip so hard that she didn't even know she was biting her lip. Tears swayed in her eyes.

She really wanted to call Chu Zhaoyang to question what was going on, but she didn't have the courage.

Gu Nian suddenly realized that this was really ironic. As his girlfriend, she didn't even have the courage to question him.

She must be afraid.

Gu Nian clutched her chest, feeling a dull pain inside.

She was afraid of hearing a disappointing answer from Chu Zhaoyang, fearing that he would disappoint her.

Gu Nian held the phone, but she didn't ask clearly. She felt as if she was being bitten by tens of thousands of insects, and she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

She took a deep breath, took out her phone, and mustered up the courage to dial Chu Zhaoyang's number.

The courage that she finally mustered up was instantly extinguished by the mechanical female voice on the phone.

He turned off his phone.

Did this mean he didn't even want to answer her phone?

Gu Nian was staring blankly at her phone. At this time, she heard Shen Xiaoman calling her: "Gu Nian, what are you staring at? Let's go, we have to go to the conference room for a meeting."

Gu Nian put away her phone, nodded, and followed Shen Xiaoman.

Shen Xiaoman was worried and asked again: "Are you really okay? Let me tell you, today's action is very important. Not only the boss, but also the higher-ups take it seriously. If something goes wrong with you, I'm afraid even the boss can't protect you."

Gu Nian took a deep breath, exhaled it all, and said, "I'm fine."

The three teams gathered in the conference room, and Mo Jingsheng said: "From now on, everyone will turn off their phones."

Everyone took out their phones and turned them off.

Li Shaofeng distributed the invisible intercom and asked everyone to put the invisible headsets into their ears. After debugging to ensure that there was no problem, Mo Jingsheng explained the precautions for action at night.

"At that time, I will pay attention to the situation at the banquet in the monitoring room and notify you immediately if there is any abnormality." Mo Jingsheng said.

"Yes, Sir."

After seeing Jiang Xiangxue off, He Haoran looked at Chu Zhaoyang through the rearview mirror, hesitated and said, "President, does it really matter if Jiang Xiangxue behaves like this today?"

"She is seeking death on her own, how can we stop her?" Chu Zhaoyang said sarcastically, his dark eyes lazily raised, obviously in a bad mood.

"That's right." He Haoran nodded, obviously feeling a lot more relaxed, "That force is likely to attack your girlfriend tonight. With Jiang Xiangxue bearing that name tonight, being the scapegoat, Gu Nian will be safe. On the contrary, I would like to thank Miss Jiang for such selfless help."

Chu Zhaoyang leaned back on the leather chair with a heavy gaze, thinking about Gu Nian's appearance just now, still feeling uneasy.

He Haoran met and said, "President, would you like to call Miss Gu and explain?"

Chu Zhaoyang finally sat up a little straighter: "Can't she even have this little trust in me?"

"..." Facing Chu Zhaoyang's earnest gaze, he clearly wanted to call and explain, but he was so arrogant that he refused to admit it and pretended not to care at all. He Haoran felt very tired.

The person who was obviously in love was Chu Zhaoyang, why did he always have to worry about it.

He Haoran said bravely: "President, this is not a matter of trust. The more Gu Nian cares about you and likes you, the more nervous, angry and painful she will be. Her sadness does not mean she does not trust you, but it is because she cares too much that she will be like this."

"Oh?" Chu Zhaoyang adjusted his tie. Was Gu Nian's liking for him so obvious? An outsider like He Haoran knew this clearly.

However, what He Haoran said made sense. Considering how much she thought about him, she must have been very sad just now.

HeI took the initiative to explain it to her, but it seemed to be nothing.

"You also think that Gu Nian likes me very much and cares about me?" Chu Zhaoyang asked.

He Haoran: "…"

Why was the president talking so much now?

"Of course, isn't this an obvious thing?" He Haoran said with a smile.

Chu Zhaoyang nodded, it was indeed the case.

So he took out his phone and called Gu Nian.

Unexpectedly, a voice prompt came from the phone that the other party had turned off.

Chu Zhaoyang: "..."

She really cared about him, so she turned off her phone sadly. Chu Zhaoyang thought, it would be better... to explain it to her after tonight was over.

Chu Zhaoyang put the phone away with an unnatural expression.

He Haoran saw it and asked strangely: "President, what's wrong?"

Chu Zhaoyang: "...It's nothing."

The launch dinner was held at 7 pm. The first hour was mainly for guests to chat with each other. The luncheon served as a good opportunity for old friends to get together with each other, and for those who were not familiar with each other, they got to know each other.

Let's drink with each other, eat some snacks, or help themselves.

At eight o'clock, the press conference will officially begin, and Chu Zhaoyang will speak on stage.

After Gu Nian and others became familiar with the process, Li Shaofeng clicked his tongue and said with emotion: "I think these rich people are really weird. They have to set such a time that it wasn't early or late. Don't they even eat? Aren't they hungry?"

"Captain Li, look, you've exposed your true nature again!" Shen Xiaoman said with a smile, "Everyone comes here just to eat something like this, they all come here to discuss business and expand their connections. Okay? And those ladies, for the sake of their figure and image, all dress beautifully and put on elaborate makeup, and they won't come here to eat."

Li Shaofeng said "tsk tsk" twice again, raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "Check the time."

After confirming that everything was correct, everyone adjusted their waiter uniforms and checked the invisible headsets. Everything was normal, and then went to the banquet hall.

Several people were scattered in various corners of the banquet hall, and the voices of a team of members came from the headset.

"Team 1, position 1, ready."

"Team 1, position 2, ready."

"Team 1, position 3, ready."

…

"Team 1, position 5, ready."

…

"Team 2, position 4, ready."

…

"Team 3, position 1, ready."

…

Gu Nian stood near the door of the banquet hall and said: "Team 3, position 5, ready."

The time was slowly approaching seven o'clock, and many guests have already entered the venue with invitations.

Gu Nian was holding a tray with several glasses of champagne on it and was walking through the venue, observing the guests who came in to see if there was anyone suspicious among them.

She didn't know who said: "Young Master Chu is here."

Gu Nian paused and looked at the door. He saw Chu Zhaoyang, who was wearing a neat and regular suit. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other hand on the side of his leg swinging naturally with his steps.

Looking from a distance, he had a long body and long legs. Under the lights of the banquet hall, he walked with his long legs and looked stunning.
