Chapter 68 - There Could Be No Better Time Than This (1/2)

Gu Nianbin’s heart skipped a beat, as if someone had rubbed his heart, and then smoothed it away with an iron. With every wrinkle stretching out, he felt indescribably comfort. He hugged her so tightly as if he wanted to embed her in his body. He lowered his head to look for her lips. Her lips were incredibly soft, and her breathing was faintly sweet.

Gu Nianbin kissed her like crazy, feeling extremely overjoyed in his heart…

At this very moment, the door was pushed open which killed the mood. Hearing the sound, Du Xiaoxian was so scared that she wanted to hide. But she failed to break away from Gu Nianbin’s arms, which were like iron claws clenching her so tightly. She was eager to say something but couldn’t finish a complete sentence.

Shao Boqing didn’t expect that he would bump into this. He was also stunned for a moment. Poker Face Gu looked very affectionate when kissing someone…

“President, it’s office time, don’t be overeager!” Shao Boqing’s words were half teasing yet half reminding, telling him not to burn himself when there was no way to put out the fire.

Gu Nianbin let go of Du Xiaoxian and gave a low roar, “Get out!”

Instead of going out, Shao Boqing walked towards them, “I have a matter to discuss with you!”

“Get out!” Gu Nianbin raised his voice. His little girl was already trembling with fear, so he didn’t want to hear anything now.

Shao Boqing rolled his eyes and went out helplessly. Zhou Ting laughed at him gloatingly, “President Shao, I told you not to go in, but you wouldn’t listen. Well, got scolded?”

Shao Boqing raised his eyebrows and pretended to be mysterious as moving closer to her, “Your boss was doing something bad inside when I walked in, so he became angry out of shame!”

Zhou Ting didn’t buy it and curled her lips, “President Shao must be talking about yourself. My boss is gentleman, not like you.”

“Not like me? What do you mean by that?” Shao Boqing said angrily, “I didn’t kiss a little girl during working hours.”

Zhou Ting immediately opened her eyes wide and asked in a low voice, “Really?”

“Of course,” Poker Face Gu turned his back on Shao Boqing, so he wouldn’t keep the secret for him, “It’s a pity that you haven’t peeked through his door after such a long performance.”

Zhou Ting really felt pitiful. Although she didn’t like prying into others’ privacy, she was still quite curious about her own boss, because the contrast was so great. What would a cold-faced boss look like when he was gentle? She had always wanted to know!

At this time, the light of the inside line turned on, Zhou Ting hurriedly picked up the phone, “Boss, yes, yes, okay.”

After hanging up, Zhou Ting said, “President Shao, the boss wants you in.”

Shao Boqing rolled his eyes again, “A second ago he wanted me out, now he wanted me in. Am I that easy to be bossed around?”

Zhou Ting covered her mouth and laughed, “One who was one grade higher could overwhelm the other. Well, what can you do? He is the president.”

Shao Boqing snorted, raised his head and pushed the door open. Zhou Ting giggled from behind.

Gu Nianbin was the only one in the room. Shao Boqing looked around and asked curiously, “Where did you hide the little girl?”

“What was the matter?” Gu Nianbin lit a cigarette and raised his eyes to look at him.

Shao Boqing still poked his head around and said, “In the bathroom? Why are you hiding her? There is no need. Call her out. It’s uncomfortable to be there!”

Gu Nianbin took a deep puff from his cigarette and breathed a mouthful of thick smoke. This time, he didn’t even look at Shao Boqing, “Get lost if you have no damn thing!” He was a man of good breeding and self-restraint. There was no one else who could make him curse like this other than Shao Boqing.

Shao Boqing knew when to stop despite the teasing. He bent down, picked up Gu Nianbin’s cigarette case from the table and lit one before sitting down, “Two things. The first is about the cooperation with Chenguang. The market reaction is very good. I want to make some further investment.”

Gu Nianbin flicked away some cigarette ashes and said, “Alright, have the Additional Investment Plan written and I’ll sign it.”

“The second is,” Shao Boqing said, “I found out there are 28 companies bidding for the Eco-Park project.”

“So many?” Gu Nianbin frowned slightly. There were many wealthy people in G City, but few had the ability to nail the Eco-Park project.

“It seems that there are even foreign companies participating. The province and the city have always been keen to attract foreign investments, hoping to create different ecological parks with advanced foreign ideas. After all, there are more successful examples abroad than in China.”

“Aren’t they afraid of luring wolves into home? This isn’t any ordinary project.”

“Insider information,” Shao Boqing said with his legs crossed, “The province doesn’t want the ecological park to become the backyard of a local rich family, so this time there would be two winners, local and foreign. It will be safe to have the two parties suppress each other to achieve balance.”

Gu Nianbin took another puff from his cigarette and asked, “Any news from the Jiang’s Company?”

“They didn’t use Shen Li’s connections,” Shao Boqing said, “Shen Li said that the Jiang’s Company wanted to compete fairly this time. It was probably Jiang Kaiwei’s intention.”

The corners of Gu Nianbin’s mouth curved, as if he was smiling, “He lost two projects to me in a row. Starting to run out of patience, huh?”

“Jiang Kaiwei is just immature like a child. Don’t take it too seriously.” Shao Boqing said, “Even Shen Li is annoyed by him sometimes.”

Gu Nianbin looked up at him and said, “You and Shen Li have been quite close recently!”

Shao Boqing chuckled and said, “We share the same love for drinks and beauties. I can also help you get some information by the way.”
