Chapter 57 - President, Image, Mind Your Image (1/2)

Yang Liying was complacent about her trick when she saw the card Du Xiaoxian took out from her pocket. She was completely dumbfounded. Wang Qian and Liu Tiantian were not as knowledgeable as Yang Liying, seeing that Yang Liying was so shocked, they hurriedly asked her in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Yang Liying simply said two words, “Black Card!”

Wang Qian and Liu Tiantian were also stunned. Although they had never seen a Black Card before, they had heard that it was the king of cards with unlimited overdraft. Not to mention it was only a western meal, even if Du Xiaoxian wanted to buy this whole restaurant, she would just need to swipe this card!

Of course, a Black Card holder was the most distinguished guest, so the manager brought the POS to Du Xiaoxian in person and asked her to swipe it. Yang Liying nervously stared at Du Xiaoxian to see whose name she was going to sign.

However, she was disappointed. Du Xiaoxian wrote her own name neatly on the receipt: Du Xiaoxian. Her handwriting was a little childish.

Yang Liying still didn’t give up. She took the card and checked the signature on its back. It was obvious that the flamboyant handwriting was not Du Xiaoxian’s. Taking a closer look, it didn’t look like Du Xiaoxian’s name, but Yang Liying couldn’t recognize the characters!

Yang Liying looked at the card and returned it to Du Xiaoxian speechlessly. With a deep sense of unwillingness in her heart, she asked, “Du Xiaoxian, who gave you this card?”

“My brother,” Du Xiaoxian replied softly.

“Who is your brother?”

Du Xiaoxian remained silent. Subconsciously, she did not want to tell Yang Liying about her and Gu Nianbin.

When Du Xiaoxian was restless in the western restaurant, Gu Nianbin felt the same in his office. She said she was going to call, but why hadn’t she called him?

Without going out to have lunch, he just sat in his office and decided to wait until she called. With his mobile phone placed on the table, he curled up on his large chair and stared at it without blinking.

Such waiting was too painful. Half an hour later, Gu Nianbin’s expression became gloomier. It had been so long since the classes in the morning were over, why didn’t she call him? Did she forget? Didn’t she miss him? He let out a long sigh and punched in the table, causing his phone to jump up. But then, coincidentally, he really got a call. The screen lit up and the ringtone rang. Gu Nianbin was immediately ecstatic and picked the phone up to put it at his ear. He deepened his voice deliberately, pretending to be cool, “Didn’t you miss me?”

The one on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, and then he burst into wildly laughing with a very familiar voice. Gu Nianbin put his phone away to avoid the sharp and piercing laughter, then asked as if nothing had happened, “What’s the matter?”

Shao Boqing laughed so hard that almost twitched. He answered in an intentionally mocking tone, “I missed you!”

Gu Nianbin hung up the phone decisively and punched in the table again. He picked up the teacup to drink water, only to find it was empty. He wanted to buzz Zhou Ting in, but then remembered that she hadn’t returned from lunch. President Gu brought his cup to the tea room himself for a refill unhappily. A few employees who came back early from lunch saw him, and they were about to greet him when suddenly felt that the atmosphere seemed wrong. So they hurriedly flashed into the nearby office room.

Not long after Gu Nianbin returned to the office with the teacup, Shao Boqing came in. He put the dining box on the coffee table and said with a smile, “Look how much I miss you. I keep you in my mind even when I’m going to have lunch.”

Gu Nianbin held the teacup and ignored him. Shao Boqing sat down, opened the dining box and called, “Come and eat. Why are you acting so emotionally? It’s not your style!”

Gu Nianbin did not say anything, but he put down his teacup and walked to sit down on the sofa to eat. No matter how anxious he was, he still had to eat!

Seeing Gu Nianbin have lunch silently, Shao Boqing sat on his large chair with his feet on the table, and talked to Gu Nianbin as he rotated the chair again and again, “Why didn’t you bring your little girl with you today?”

“She went to school.”

“No wonder.” Shao Boqing raised his eyebrows and smiled teasingly. “No wonder you miss her so much! Just call her if you miss her!” As he spoke, Shao Boqing picked up the phone that Gu Nianbin left on the table. When seeing the message showed on the screen, he asked with confusion, “Has your account been hacked? You’re here at the office, but you spent money at the Changchao Clubhouse. What’s going on?”

Hearing this, Gu Nianbin quickly put down his chopsticks and went over to take a look. Sure enough, the text message reminded that there was a consumption of more than 6,000 yuan two minutes ago in the Changchao Clubhouse restaurant. The bill was paid by the Black Card he gave Du Xiaoxian.

Gu Nianbin gritted his teeth with a little bit of unhappiness. He was anxious waiting for her call, while the little girl was having a good time eating outside. But why would she go to the clubhouse? She was not a VIP member there! So there must be someone else going with her. Now that she had friends, she forgot about him. Gu Nianbin held his phone and gasped angrily.

Shao Boqing opened his eyes wide and asked, “Is it really hacked?”

“No, Xiaoxian spent it.” A moment later, Gu Nianbin calmed down again.

Shao Boqing stood up and patted him on the shoulder. “Alright, it’s only 6,000 yuan. Why are you so angry? You’re not a stingy person!”

Gu Nianbin took his hand off and said coldly, “Go back where you came from!”

“Wow! You are really angry.” Shao Boqing continued to provoke him regardless of the consequences, “I’ll give you the money back for her, okay? It’s not a big deal!”

“Get out!” Gu Nianbin grabbed a folder and threw it at Shao Boqing.

Shao Boqing ran towards the door as he continued to tease him, “President, image, mind your image!”

Gu Nianbin threatened to throw something at him again. Shao Boqing dodged out and laughed loudly. For so many years, it was rare to see the poker face Gu become so angry and embarrassed. Shao Boqing really felt great!

Zhou Ting happened to come back from the outside at the moment. Seeing Shao Boqing laughing wildly, she couldn’t help but frown, “Boss Shao, no matter how happy you are, you should pay attention to your image. I can even see your gums. Isn’t it disgusting?”
