Gu Xi's ink-colored eyes were deep like ink, but he didn't ask anything. He closed his iPad and threw it aside, ending this brief interaction.

Xu Yixue wanted to hear what his reaction would be after she finished speaking.

This man sat there nonchalantly, a wickedly sly curve playing on his lips, his eyes fathomless, revealing nothing at all.

"Why do you prefer Tiancheng more" Xu Yixue finally couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xicheng's face suddenly darkened, although he had always been expressionless. Although curious, she also knew that there were some things she shouldn't ask.

Looking at the cautious Xu Yixue, Ji Chuan's smile gradually faded, turning to look at Gu Xicheng, "Mr. Gu, we need to make a decision on this during the meeting later."

Xu Yixue glanced at the handsome and elegant man with a corner of her eye. He leaned against the chair back, his legs crossed, one hand in his pocket, and the other resting on the table, tapping lightly.

The iPad was pitifully left alone.

His expression was unfathomable, making it difficult to guess his true intentions.

Ji Chuan couldn't help but curiously ask: "Ms. Xu, how did you know about Tian Cheng's crisis"

Xu Yixue's initial analysis of Tiancheng and Linmu truly made Ji Chuan believe that she was the second academic prodigy of the Imperial University legend, as her reputation suggested.

Actually, she said he had already found out beforehand, but coincidentally, the information submitted below didn't mention it. So their CEO just went along with the old guys' wishes.

The CEO definitely has another plan in mind.

……

"Let's have a meeting together later."

Xu Yixue: “Good.”

Following along to meetings means there's a chance to see real-world examples firsthand, rather than just doing menial tasks at the company. That's great because you can learn even more.

"No." Xu Yixue sounded a bit confused. "Mr. Gu, what am I mainly here to do"

"Your resume is quite unique," Gu Xicheng interrupted her, his "unique" wasn't a put-down at all, but a compliment.

What does "it" mean

"In the last acquisition, I saw you have great potential."

Conference Room

Gu Xicheng's face was cold and aloof, without a trace of emotion. His sharp eyes sank slightly, scanning all the people present with indifference, finally landing on the middle-aged man in his fifties on his left hand side, "This time, regarding the acquisition of Tiancheng and Linmu, the acquisition will be of Tiancheng."

He, Gu Shen, the second master of the Gu family, should have inherited the family business, but in the end, it was snatched away by his elder brother Gu Xi Cheng, who was called back by their father on his deathbed. Gu Shen has been unable to swallow this resentment ever since. This was all a scheme he had set up long ago, with the sole purpose of dealing with Gu Xi Cheng and bringing him down.

"As a Harvard graduate, your decision is sure to elevate Gu Shi to a new level." A hint of sarcasm crossed Gu Shen's face, which Xu Yi Xue happened to notice.

What on earth is Gu Xicheng trying to do

After that, some other parts reported, and several commands were given. The meeting lasted for almost an hour and a half before it ended.

"Meeting adjourned." Gu Xicheng gave the order and got up to leave.

After everyone else had left, Gu Xichen took Tian Cheng's acquisition case and looked at Ji Chuan again: "Keep watching them."

Ji Chuan: "Yes." with surprise 。He stood outside, elegant and graceful like a jade tree, while she inside was taken aback in surprise. Their eyes met, as if time itself had frozen, leaving only each other's presence...
