Looking at the stars

Chapter 13 I feel pity for you

This time, the dinner to discuss cooperation with Mr. Liu was scheduled to be held in a high-end club.

Fortunately, the Gu family was once a wealthy family, and Gu Nianbei was no stranger to such places.

Before pushing open the door of the private room, Gu Nianbei took a deep breath, took out her phone, played the recording, and then put it back into her bag. Holding the file bag to her chest, she adjusted the arc of her smile and then pushed the door open.

Liu Ming of Huizhong Real Estate is a man in his forties. His father started his business in real estate and has made a name for himself in the industry.

The moment Gu Nianbei stepped into the box, Liu Ming was drinking with his female assistant inside. The distance and actions between them were very ambiguous.

Liu Ming noticed someone coming in from the corner of his eye, and a smug look immediately appeared on his face. Mr. Li, you finally came...

Before he could even utter the last word, Liu Ming paused.

When he turned around, he found that the person who came in was not Li Xiangnan, but a pretty woman.

Liu Ming narrowed his eyes, and through the gap between his eyelids, he looked at Gu Nianbei's whole body without any hesitation.

Who are you?

Liu Ming let go of the hand of the female assistant beside him, raised his eyebrows, and asked Gu Nianbei with shining eyes.

Hello, Mr. Liu, I am Mr. Li’s special assistant, Gu Nianbei.

Gu Nianbei walked slowly to Liu Ming, with a professional smile on his face, and extended his hand politely.

Liu Ming looked at her for a few seconds before slowly holding Gu Nianbei's hand, and his restless thumb rubbed the skin on the back of her hand.

Gu Nianbei endured it silently in his mind for two seconds, then quickly pulled his hand back.

Isn't Gary Li Xiangnan's special assistant? Why did he change? Liu Ming asked doubtfully, his eyes never leaving Gu Nianbei.

No, Gary and I are both Mr. Li's special assistants. Gu Nianbei smiled and pulled a chair over and sat down.

Is Li Xiangnan coming today? Liu Ming's expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked in an aggressive tone.

Gu Nianbei smiled calmly. She glanced at the wine glass in front of Liu Ming, leaned over to pick up a bottle of wine, respectfully poured him half a glass of wine, then took a new glass and poured herself half a glass.

Mr. Li's schedule is too full recently, and he really can't spare the time to come. Mr. Liu, I offer you this glass of wine as an apology on behalf of Mr. Li.

Gu Nianbei raised his glass and clinked it with Liu Ming's, then slowly drank half of it.

Liu Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Nianbei for a few times, then sneered: I'm tired of hearing this kind of excuses, Miss Gu, there is no need to explain for your boss, don't I know who Li Xiangnan is?

He clearly didn't take me seriously. He didn't show up yesterday, and he won't come today! I tell you, if Li Xiangnan doesn't come in person today, we don't have to talk about this cooperation! Liu Ming said with a dark face.

Gu Nianbei rubbed the wall of the wine glass with his hand twice and hesitated for a few seconds.

Suddenly she raised her hand and tucked her long hair behind her ears, revealing a touching smile. She glanced at Liu Ming with raised eyebrows and asked in a doubtful tone: Mr. Liu, are you sure you are only willing to discuss this cooperation with Mr. Li tonight?

This vague hint of seduce...

Liu Ming looked at Gu Nianbei's beautiful appearance. At this moment, it was like a feather gently brushing his heart, making him feel itchy. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He turned his head and glanced at the female assistant beside him, and suddenly felt that the woman around him was very ordinary and boring.

"Xiao Chen, please go outside and wait for me," Liu Ming told the female assistant.

Gu Nianbei raised his eyebrows, and the moment his eyelids drooped, his eyes darkened.

The female assistant raised her eyes, glanced at Gu Nianbei, and tactfully left the private room.

After the door of the box was closed again, Liu Ming moved his chair closer to Gu Nianbei. Li Xiangnan is thinking hard to arrange an assistant like you by his side.

The moment Gu Nianbei raised her eyelids, a professional smile appeared on her lips again.

An assistant like me... Gu Nianbei deliberately paused and asked in confusion: What kind of assistant?

Miss Gu is so naturally beautiful, what do you think?

Liu Ming smiled obscurely, his eyes lingering on Gu Nianbei without hesitation. Li Xiangnan asked you to come here on his behalf today. We are all adults. I understand what he meant...

Then... Gu Nianbei deliberately hid a hint of shyness in his smile, paused and said: Mr. Liu, you just said that you are only willing to discuss cooperation with Mr. Li...

Ouch! This pitiful and charming look... stimulated Liu Ming's heart to a flutter! Oh no! It was a heart-pounding feeling that I hadn't felt for a long time!

Liu Ming rubbed his hands back and forth on the table. At this moment, he could no longer hold back and was eager to try.

I just said that because I was too angry. As for this cooperation, even if Li Xiangnan doesn't come, there is still room for negotiation.

Liu Ming's smile was cunning. He suddenly grabbed Gu Nianbei's hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said: As long as you listen to me tonight, this cooperation is just a matter of signing a contract.

Gu Nianbei slowly pulled out his hand, lowered his eyes and said pitifully: But... President Li gave me a death order. If I can't handle this cooperation with President Liu tonight, I will lose my job.

Wow, how come this woman is not only good-looking but also has such a nice voice?

Hearing the delicate and pitiful tone of this beauty, Liu Ming felt inexplicably distressed.

Mr. Liu, as long as you sign the contract, the rest... Gu Nianbei paused, turned around and took out a pre-prepared contract, handed it to Liu Ming, and said meaningfully: Everything is easy to discuss.

Liu Ming stared at the contract hesitantly for two seconds, then looked up at Gu Nianbei and became a little hesitant.

Mr. Liu, you also know that I work with Mr. Li, like a companion, like a tiger...

Gu Nianbei pretended to be pitiful, lowered his eyes and twisted his fingers while saying: If there is no guarantee in advance, I dare not easily promise you anything. Besides, I am also worried...whether you will go back on your word...

Liu Ming's heart softened completely after hearing these words. Why did such a rare beauty choose to work beside Li Xiangnan? Li Xiangnan was used to being cold and ruthless, and he must not know how to be gentle with women. The more Liu Ming thought about it, the more he felt that he could not let her down any longer.

Gu Nianbei glanced at Liu Ming and knew that he was just one step away from success.

She took the bottle of wine on the table, filled her own glass with it, raised the glass of wine and said to Liu Ming: Mr. Liu, I'll drink this wine first to show my sincerity.

After saying that, Gu Nianbei raised her neck and started drinking. When she was halfway through drinking, Liu Ming reached out and took away her glass.

Okay, this wine is very strong. If you, a girl, drink like this, you will fall down and pass out soon.

Liu Ming saw Gu Nianbei's sincerity. He grabbed the contract on the table, turned to the last page, stretched out his hand to Gu Nianbei and said: Pen.

Gu Nianbei curled his lips and smiled, handed him the pen that he had prepared long ago, and said: Here.

Liu Ming signed the contract, threw it back to Gu Nianbei, and said with a smile: Now that you are protected, can we get down to business?

Gu Nianbei put the contract back into the file bag and when he looked up again, he seemed to have a different face.

Mr. Liu, what business are you referring to?
