1400 Uninvited Guests
Qiao Xi was about to log into her account to check the phone number when Song Shijing’s voice came from outside. “President, Young Madam, Chairman He is here.”
Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng looked at each other, and their eyes were slightly surprised.
Others did not know about Gu Zheng and He Weinian’s current relationship, but He Weinian knew very well that Gu Zheng was definitely unwilling to see him. In that case, why did he come to Longwan Residential?
Song Shijing was also very puzzled. Was He Weinian trying to please the president in front of everyone?
“President, do you want me to stop He Weinian?”
Gu Zheng stood up and straightened his clothes. He sneered. “There’s no need. Chairman He isn’t someone you can fool with just a few words. He clearly knows that I don’t welcome him, but he still shamelessly came. He must have something important to say to me.”
“Xi Xi, do you want to go with me?” Gu Zheng turned around and looked at Qiao Xi.
“Of course. How can I bear to let you face that old fox alone?!” Qiao Xi held his arm, and the two of them went downstairs together.
Actually, when He Weinian came to visit, Uncle Sheng could have found a reason to stop him. However, he was worried that others would gossip if news of this got out, so he could only invite him in and serve him good tea.
As long as the president did not come downstairs, He Weinian would leave after a while. However, he did not expect the president and Young Madam to come down together.
He Weinian smiled gently, his eyes filled with love. “Ah Zheng.”
“Chairman He,” Gu Zheng replied casually.
He Weinian could tell that Gu Zheng was unwilling to see him, so he went straight to the point. “Ah Zheng, please forgive me for disturbing you today. I heard that you have a burned painting, so I rushed over.
“You must have heard that Li City is holding a cultural relics event soon. If you have time, you can take the painting there to take a look. Someone will definitely be able to help you repair it.”
Gu Zheng’s expression did not change as he nodded perfunctorily.
He Weinian smiled fakely. “If you’re not interested, then forget it. After all, you’re usually very busy with work.”
With that, He Weinian took out a business card and placed it on the table. “The standard of this event is very high. People who don’t have an invitation can’t enter. Even if you have a high status in Li City, you can’t enter. If you feel like going, you can take my business card and enter.”
Before Gu Zheng could speak, He Weinian looked at Qiao Xi and smiled kindly. “Ah Zheng, you’re not interested in the restoration of ancient books, but perhaps Mrs. Gu is?”
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes, and her gaze carried a trace of doubt.
What a coincidence. She and Gu Zheng had just discussed attending the ancient book restoration event when He Weinian personally came to invite them. She did not believe that He Weinian would be so kind.
“I am interested in it,” Qiao Xi said indifferently.
He Weinian was extremely satisfied. Qiao Xi was not as difficult to get along with as he had imagined.
When Gu Zheng heard Qiao Xi’s words, he raised his eyes slightly and asked softly, “You’re interested?”
Qiao Xi nodded obediently and blinked at him.
“Since you’re interested, then let’s go.”
He Weinian moved the business card in front of Gu Zheng. “Ah Zheng, keep this business card. You can enter by handing it to the staff at the door. One more thing…”
He looked at Qiao Xi and smiled in embarrassment. “Mrs. Gu, there was a misunderstanding between you and Wenxian previously. She has thought it through and even said that she wants to apologize to you in person! Wenxian said that if you’re interested in the restoration of ancient books, she wants to bring you around the event as an apology. What do you think, Mrs. Gu?”
Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Miss He wants to bring me around? But you said that the standard of this event is very high. The surroundings are filled with extremely precious classic books. With her identity, can she bring me around?”
The moment that was said, He Wenxian’s expression instantly changed. She looked at Gu Zheng aggrievedly, but Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent from the beginning until the end. He did not even look at her.
He Weinian ignored Qiao Xi’s hostility and still had the image of a loving elder. “Wenxian received an invitation and has many friends in the cultural relics world. It’s naturally not a problem for her to bring you around.”
Qiao Xi nodded and said with a faint smile, “In that case, Miss He, you’re considered an expert!”
It was already very difficult for ordinary people to enter this event. After all, there were priceless cultural relics around, so regular people wouldn’t even dare to walk around the venue. To be able to enter this event seamlessly, one’s identity was naturally extraordinary.
