Chapter 188: Attending a Dinner Party
President Qiao revealed a look of confusion. Why were they close?
Uncle Li explained, “CEO Gu is CEO Feng’s fiancée.”
“Oh, I forgot about it. The Feng and Gu families are in-laws.” President Qiao patted his head and suddenly became excited, “So we’re all familiar with each other. It’s almost six o’clock. Why don’t I treat you to a meal at the Chinese restaurant downstairs?”
Director Li and Gu Chu couldn’t refuse his kind offer. “If it doesn’t interfere with you and CEO Feng’s business, of course.”
“Not at all,” Director Qiao said straightforwardly. “CEO Feng, what do you say?”
Feng Jia replied gently, “Of course.”
Director Qiao was talkative. He could talk about current affairs, celebrities, fitness, etc. It wasn’t awkward at all.
Gu Chu was also someone who could respond to anything. She had become quite familiar with Director Qiao during this meal. He kept saying that she would have a bright future.
When they were almost done, Director Qiao took out his phone and asked, “Can we take a photo together?”
This small request was acceptable. They stood up simultaneously and were ready to take the photo.
Director Qiao looked at where they were standing, smiled and said, “President Gu, you should stand beside CEO Feng. You are a couple, so we shouldn’t stand between you.”
Gu Chu subconsciously looked at Feng Jia and smiled. Then, she stood beside him. Director Qiao called a waiter to take a photo for them. After the photo was taken, he sighed and said, “CEO Feng and President Gu are really a match made in heaven.”
Then, he posted the photo to his Wechat moments.
“By the way, we’re having a small dinner party tomorrow night. The main goal is to promote intangible cultural heritage, which will be held here. Come over if you’re interested.”
Gu Chu looked at Uncle Li.
He thought it would be good for Gu Chu to meet more people, so he said, “Why not?”
Director Qiao immediately said, “Then I’ll get someone to send the invitation to the Gu Corporation.”
When the meal ended, and it was already late at night.
They left the restaurant. Director Qiao and Director Li called for someone to pick them up, and Gu Chu returned with Feng Jia.
It was slightly cold in the early winter night in Haicheng City. When the driver drove over, Feng Jia took off his coat and put it on her.
Gu Chu felt much warmer all of a sudden.
It was the first time Gu Chu met him on a business occasion. She thought it was strange, so she asked, “Will you come tomorrow?”
Feng Jia said, “He didn’t send me an invitation.”
He had never liked attending such events, so the invitation was usually sent to the front desk, and they would send a representative on behalf of him. Therefore, what he said wasn’t exactly true.
Although Gu Chu knew, she couldn’t help but gloat, “If you want to go, you can be my male companion.”
Feng Jia’s lips curved. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity, President Gu.”
The invisible tail behind Gu Chu’s back rose even higher. “If you stay with me, I’ll make sure you have a good life.”
Feng Jia opened the door for her to get in. After getting in, he sat down and asked, “President Gu, have you asked about your mother? Based on her attitude toward you, she probably won’t easily agree to let you be promoted to vice president.”
Gu Chu paused and replied, “My mother is never involved in the company’s business. Moreover, this is the decision of the board of directors. It will be announced next Monday.”
It was Wednesday at the moment. In just a few days, there shouldn’t be any change of decisions, right?
On Thursday night, Gu Chu and Feng Jia attended Director Qiao’s dinner together.
The goal of the event was to promote the intangible cultural heritage. Gu Chu wore a qipao. There was an embroidered red rose on her chest. Feng Jia was wearing a blue checkered suit, and the coat’s hem was embroidered with the leaves of roses.
They were wearing couple’s outfits and attracted a lot of attention when they appeared.
There was a donation in the end. Gu Chu donated a seven-figure sum. Feng Jia asked, “Do you still have money after buying the painting?”
Gu Chu smiled faintly. “Don’t I have you?”
Feng Jia said, “You do charity work, and I pay for it?”
Gu Chu clicked her tongue. “You’re so stingy. Can I borrow money from you? I’ll return it to you after I receive my dividends.”
Feng Jia lowered his head slightly and asked her, “What about the interest?”
Gu Chu was surprised. “You want interest from your fiancee?”
