“Hello, chief Gu. Welcome to our Carlyle Group’s Christmas party.”The man was none other than Keven. He extended his hand respectfully to Gu Nianzhi.

Gu nianzhi hung up the phone and turned to look at him. She nodded without batting an eyelid. “Hello, I have something on. Excuse me.”

She had no intention of chatting with him.

Keven wasn’t angry. He smiled and asked, “Are you close to Miss Guo?”

Gu Nianzhi paused in her steps. “Not really. I just know her.”

“… then we’ll have to get to know each other better in the future.”Keven said one sentence after another. His attitude was much more cautious than when he was talking to Guo Huining.

Gu Nianzhi turned to look at him and said plainly, “May I know your name? Do I Know You?”

They had been talking for a long time, but she hadn’t even introduced herself. was she close to him?

Gu Nianzhi pretended not to see the ID tag on Keven’s chest.

Keven raised an eyebrow. “Chief Gu doesn’t know me?”

“Why would I know you?”Gu Nianzhi was annoyed by this kind of pointless conversation, but she had been in the Senate for a long time, so she understood that this kind of small talk was inevitable. It was a way to get closer to people.

“Oh, I was careless. Let me introduce myself. I’m the Chief Operating Officer of the Carlyle Group. My name is Keven.”He winked at Gu Nianzhi and pointed to his identity tag, “I’m here to inspect the work of the Carlyle Huaxia Branch. I didn’t expect to be able to talk to Keven. It’s my honor.”

Gu Nianzhi looked keven up and down. “You’re welcome. Your Company’s Christmas party is very interesting.”

“Really? I was worried that chief gu would find it boring!”Keven pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Gu Nianzhi’s tone.

Gu Nianzhi had come to the French window alone just to make a phone call.

The two assistants and security guards who had followed her around could see her, but they would not disturb her privacy.

Keven had been able to break through these people to get to Gu Nianzhi’s side, of course, because of his identity tag.

He stood not too far away from Gu Nianzhi, he smiled and said, “To be honest, when I was in America, I’ve long heard of Chief Gu’s name. But at that time, chief Gu will show off in the law firm in the future. I didn’t expect you to enter the Senate after graduation.”

“Oh? How Do You Know About Me?”

A waiter came over with a tray. There were cocktails and snacks on the tray for the guests to take.

Gu Nianzhi grabbed a cocktail, not to drink it, but to put on an act so that she wouldn’t look too out of place like everyone else.

Keven took a glass and raised it to Gu Nianzhi. He took a sip and said, “Shall we go to the garden in the back and talk?”

“What’s the matter?”Gu Nianzhi smiled. “I’m here for the Christmas party, not for business negotiations.”

“That’s too bad. I was going to talk to you about the legislation for the Senate to allow foreign investment in the financial industry,”Keven said, feigning regret. “Don’t you want to hear our opinions?”

“It’s best if you talk to speaker long about this. I’m only a legal consultant, not even a senator. I Can’t help you much.”Gu Nianzhi felt someone sizing her up. The gaze was neither light nor heavy, but it was inquisitive, but when she looked up slightly, the gaze shifted away.

It seemed to be from the crowd over there.

Gu Nianzhi looked down and thought for a moment. She strolled towards the direction of the garden that Keven had pointed out earlier.

Keven played right into her hands. He smiled and took a few quick steps forward, walking side by side with Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi’s assistant and security staff naturally followed very quickly. They walked at a distance that was neither too far nor too close to the two people in front of them.

..

Guo huining stood beside Huo Guanchen and bit her lip as she looked at him. She then looked in the direction where Gu Nianzhi and Keven had disappeared and smiled, she said, “Guanchen, should we also go to the garden at the back to take a look?”? “I haven’t been to this Sheraton hotel many times, but I’ve heard that the garden here is very exquisite. It has all the features of a tropical rainforest, and it’s said that it’s very similar to the natural landscape of Florida in the United States.”

She was actually very uncomfortable, and did not want to pile up with Gu Nianzhi at all.

Huo Guanchen had spoken up for her just now, giving her endless hope.

However, in the blink of an eye, Huo Guanchen’s attention was no longer on her. Although he was still standing by her side, she could see that his heart had long flown to Gu Nianzhi’s side..

She really did not know what was so good about this woman that all of them were fascinated by her.

Although she felt uncomfortable, Guo Huining knew how to make men feel comfortable.

She had to figure out what they were thinking and then act according to their wishes.

Since she could tell that Huo Guanchen’s thoughts were on Gu Nianzhi’s side, she was just in time to bring it up.

Huo Guanchen had actually said that he only had 20 minutes, but it had already been almost 20 minutes, and he had no intention of leaving.

Guo Huining felt even more indignant.

Huo Guanchen had just watched Gu Nianzhi and Keven’s backs disappear in the direction of the left back door of the hall. He placed the wine glass on the table unhappily and said, “Then let’s go and take a look.”

Guo huining endured it for a while before she did not continue to ask,”… you’re not going back to the meeting?”

She would not embarrass Huo Guanchen if he did not mention it.

The two of them walked through the left back door of the hall and found themselves in a t-shaped corridor.

They saw Gu Nianzhi and Keven turning left.

Huo Guanchen quickly followed them.

Guo Huining was about to follow them when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her handbag.

Her heart skipped a beat. She stopped in her tracks and took out her phone to take a look.

It was associate director Jia who had sent her a photo and a text message: [ forward it to Song. ].

Guo huining quickly opened the photo to take a look, and her eyes widened.

In the photo, Gu Nianzhi was standing on her tiptoes, kissing the back of a man!

The man had his head down, so her face couldn’t be seen clearly, but it looked like it was Keven!

Although Gu Nianzhi was tall and slender, she was like a little bird in front of this man. She was surprisingly harmonious.

Guo Huining couldn’t help but feel strange. Gu Nianzhi didn’t seem like a casual person, but she also admired Keven’s ability. It was only their first meeting, so how did Gu Nianzhi fall for it?

She pursed her lips. She didn’t care if the photo was real or fake, as long as she could annoy those people.

She casually forwarded it to song jinning.

Song Jinning had just come out of the lab.

The results of today’s experiment were not bad, but it was still different from what they had expected.

Song Jinning planned to go back to the office and do some careful calculations. Then, she would refer to the experiment notes left by Gu Xiangwen to see if they could be quantified.

At this moment, she heard her phone ring.

It was already so late. Usually, Lu Yuan would call her, send her supper, or take her home. She was already used to it.

However, when she took out her phone to take a look, she realized that she had made a mistake.

It was not a phone call or text from Lu Yuan, but a photo from Guo Huining.

Song Jinning pursed her lips, thinking to herself that Huo Guanchen was really on good terms with Guo Huining. He could even tell her her phone number.

Song Jinning opened the photo to take a look, and her eyes widened in surprise.

What was going on? !

This Must Be Nianzhi, right? !

Looking at the graceful curve of her back, she knew she hadn’t made a mistake.

Her fingers caressed her phone a few times, and she subconsciously wanted to forward it to Huo Shaoheng, but she quickly held back.

Whether this was true or not, it was all to annoy Nianzhi and Shaoheng. She couldn’t let Guo Huining get her way.

After thinking for a moment, song Jinning replied to Guo Huining: [ what is this place? Are Your Eyes playing tricks on you? Or are you secretly taking photos of someone else? ].
