Excitement Of A New Home

Certainly, here is the revised and extended version of the provided text:

Seeing Gu Antong's agreement, Si Zhenxuan continued, "The selection of products in large shopping malls is quite limited. We can only find Jingchun's mid-priced products there. High-end and low-end options are scarce. Over time, people may forget about them."

Gu Antong quickly grasped Si Zhenxuan's perspective. She hesitated before saying, "Zhenxuan, if you still want to pursue the Jingchun plan, especially with Si Yueyun, it will be quite challenging. We can highlight the drawbacks of Jing Chun to make it clear."

The sales channel issue was something Si Yueyun had discussed in detail during the meeting, but perhaps she had exaggerated it a bit.

Si Zhenxuan skillfully sidestepped the question and said, "What's most important to me right now is the sales channels."

It was evident that he had a plan to acquire Jingchun, but he didn't share the details. Gu Antong trusted him to make the right decisions in such situations.

Remembering Si Yueyun's opposition, Gu Antong raised an eyebrow and said, "Have you forgotten about my family background?"

Indeed, it seemed like everyone had forgotten the strength of the Gu family, including Si Yueyun and Si Zhenxuan. Gu Antong herself had initially overlooked this, only to remember once she returned home.

Si Zhenxuan's expression appeared to change slightly, and he turned his gaze towards Gu Antong. His eyes revealed a hint of secrecy, something fleeting yet intriguing.

Gu Antong didn't notice anything unusual in Si Zhenxuan's behavior. She was pleasantly surprised to have found a way to help him and said, "Since Si Yueyun has highlighted so many disadvantages, we can address them one by one. With Gu's involvement in the sales channels, it shouldn't be a problem, don't you think?"

There wasn't a smile in Si Zhenxuan's eyes, but his face softened noticeably.

During this brief interlude, as their conversation drifted towards the topic of their newly decorated house, Si Zhenxuan suddenly mentioned, "The new house will be ready soon."

"Really?" The thought of starting a new life in their own home brought a smile to Gu Antong's face.

Si Zhenxuan glanced at her with a hint of excitement that he was holding back. "Besides the extra expense, there's nothing wrong with the hotel room."

Gu Antong blushed. Whenever they returned to their hotel room, Si Zhenxuan's passion for both work and her would surge. She wondered if he had been holding back for a long time.

Suddenly, she became curious about Si Zhenxuan's past, especially his life between the ages of 20 and 30, his character, and the women he had known.

Recently, Gu Antong had been swamped with work and busy with preparations for their new home.

Si Zhenxuan appeared equally occupied, presumably with the acquisition of Jingchun. Their time together seemed to diminish.

As Friday approached, Gu Antong's anxiety grew. A meeting was scheduled for Friday where both groups would present their progress, views, and ideas. Gu Antong spent the entire Thursday collaborating with Lin Yue, Shen Yinghe, and others, exchanging and organizing various materials.

In the midst of this hustle, Shen Yinghe approached Gu Antong and whispered, "Gu Jie, I was just in the tea room, and I overheard Group B discussing their meticulous analysis and report. They've selected a New Zealand flavor factory, and the spice factory is a major supplier for renowned international perfume brands."

Gu Antong was surprised when Shen Yinghe, the young girl, went to Bao to inquire about something. Lin Yue was known for her hard work, but she responded with a smile, "No worries at all. We have our own unique advantages. True perfumes don't rely on chemical essences but opt for original essential oils and natural materials. The current trend leans towards a more classic style, and that's where our focus should be."

Shen Yinghe returned to her place and nodded in agreement, saying, "I also believe that your idea, Gu Jie, is excellent."

"Absolutely. Nowadays, everyone appreciates natural products, and men prefer natural women. Our sister Gu is much more appealing than Meng Mei," Lin Yue remarked with a grin.

Gu Antong had no choice but to smile in response.

She led one group, while Meng Mei led two. It was evident that they had very different approaches and styles, which led to variations in their team dynamics.

For example, a boy named Jin Yuan from group B often came to group A to tease Shen Yinghe.

In short, her group was home to two lively individuals: Lin Yue and Shen Yinghe. Gu Antong thoroughly enjoyed working with them.

Lin Yue was the type who moved swiftly, both in speech and actions, whereas Shen Yinghe was more reserved. She was the most beautiful girl in the entire group.

However, Shen Yinghe had an odd habit of incessant talking. For instance, Lin Yue particularly enjoyed discussing men's issues with her, despite both of them being unmarried.

Lin Yue expressed her confusion, saying, "I've watched a lot of novels and TV shows. Why is it that after such intimate moments, men always feel refreshed while women seem exhausted?"

Gu Antong also wondered about this.

In truth, she wasn't too enthusiastic about such matters. Her temperament was gentle, guided largely by Si Zhenxuan.

Yet, Si Zhenxuan had moments of drought, and sometimes Gu Antong found herself wondering whether he truly was her "big brother." Although it didn't quite fit. Si Zhenxuan was almost 30 years old; women could maintain consistency, but what about men? In this world, men often chased after youthful vitality.

Glancing at his attitude towards her, it was evident that even Si Zhenxuan couldn't resist this allure. He became more unrestrained and passionate, not to mention others.

Ahem. At the thought of Si Zhenxuan, Gu Antong drifted off and turned her attention back to the several girls in her group.

When we gather, we chat about light-hearted topics and don't think about marriage in the future.

Shen Yinghe spoke seriously, "I know the reason."

Lin Yue leaned in and asked curiously, "Tell us quickly. I've been wondering about it for a while."

"Isn't it tiring to be teased for so long?" Shen Yinghe still maintained his seriousness.

Gu Antong almost sprayed coffee from her mouth. Shen Yinghe's words caused the entire group to burst into laughter.

Lin Yue was the most amused. She grabbed a ruler and playfully poked Shen Yinghe. "Come on, have you ever experienced that?"

"Enough, cut it out," Gu Antong finally couldn't help but silence the girls. Was it really okay to discuss this so openly?

Shen Yinghe pouted, blushing, and said, "Am I wrong..."

Gu Antong shook her head with a smile. These girls were full of energy.

Perhaps the laughter in the office attracted some onlookers. Jiang Nuan knocked on the door and said sternly, "All of you need to focus on your work. Is this behavior appropriate during working hours? Also, we will review your progress on Friday, so don't take it lightly."

Lin Yue stuck out her tongue, and Shen Yinghe got back to work.

Gu Antong remained unfazed.

"Team leader Gu, please consider the impact of your actions," Jiang Wenyang said, looking at Gu Antong for the first time. "You shouldn't let your guard down. Other teams are eager to..."

Jiang Nuan left.

Lin Yue whispered, "Director Jiang always covers for the second team. Our first team often works overtime more than they do. When they have nothing to do, they go out for research. Who knows what they're up to."

"Xiaoyue, let's focus on doing our own work well. We'll see who performs better at Friday's meeting," Gu Antong replied, her lips slightly pursed. She remembered the conflicts she had with Jiang Nuan and had a feeling that she might be holding the team back.

So she couldn't afford to lose.

Finally, on Friday morning, as usual, Gu Antong waited for Si Zhenxuan to return after his workout. They had breakfast together, but something felt off.

"What's on my face?" Gu Antong asked nervously. Was it just her imagination? She kept feeling like Si Zhenxuan was giving her an unusual look from time to time, a look that made her blush.

"Are you ready for the meeting?" Instead of answering Gu Antong's question, Si Zhen Xuan was focused on their work.

"Yes, everything's prepared!" Although Gu Antong was nervous, she had full confidence. She believed that the information she provided would not only impress the company's senior management but also satisfy Xie Jianchen.

"I won't be so busy after the meeting," Si Zhenxuan said, clearly having something to say. Gu Antong, however, interpreted it as concern for her. After all, she had been incredibly busy lately, working from morning till bedtime.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Things will get easier in the future."

Gu Antong assumed that Si Zhenxuan was just concerned about her exhaustion. Little did she know that Si Zhenxuan had a different agenda, his eyes revealing a deep, hidden desire.

Si Zhenxuan suddenly reached out and held Gu Antong's hand, his eyes locked onto her face. His intense gaze made her feel warm. "What's wrong, anything on your mind?"

As he held Gu An Tong's hand, he suddenly moved it to a particular area, and Gu Antong was taken aback by the warmth. She realized that he was touching a sensitive spot.

Si Zhenxuan's eyes blazed with desire. He leaned closer to Gu Antong's ear and whispered, his voice husky and alluring, "It's been so many days, and I've been craving you."

Gu Antong's body quivered. Si Zhen Xuan's breath tickled her ears, making her stutter. "But I, I need to get to the office for the meeting!"

Si Zhenxuan seemed dissatisfied with her response and moved her hand up, gently caressing a sensitive area.

Gu Antong's face turned beet red, and she couldn't resist the sensation. She had to let him explore her shape. "I've been holding back for so long..."

Si Zhenxuan was straightforward in these matters, and his directness was a sharp contrast to Gu Antong's nervousness. The contrast made her heart race as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

"I didn't mean to," Gu Antong mumbled, although there was no need for her to apologize.
