After getting the reminder from Gu Chenfei, Gu Sisi suddenly came to her senses. "Oops!" How could she be so stupid? What was she thinking about? It was clearly a work discussion, but her mind wandered to Huo Cheng.
However, one couldn't really blame Gu Sisi. Just think about it. Which woman could act as if nothing had happened and sit here having coffee and discussing work with the other woman after seeing her husband sitting there having a seemingly intimate coffee with another woman?
Gu Sisi felt like she was going crazy. Being pushed to this extent by work, she was truly one of a kind.
But since she had already sat down, there was nothing for Gu Sisi to be afraid of. It was just a work discussion. Fine! She would discuss work with Gu Chenfei.
But just as she thought of the name Gu Chenfei, Gu Sisi suddenly felt a bit puzzled. Gu Chenfei, Gu Chenfei. The name gave her a very familiar feeling, but it always made her think of Huo Cheng.
The characters "Cheng" and "Chen" made Gu Sisi overly sensitive. She always felt that Gu Chenfei's identity was special. She was not just an ordinary novelist. One couldn't be deceived by Gu Chenfei's temperament.
With an air of a socialite, yet she wrote ancient time - travel novels. It would be hard for anyone to believe this.
"Miss Gu? Miss Gu?"
Gu Sisi accidentally got distracted again, and Gu Chenfei couldn't help but interrupt her.
Coughing awkwardly, Gu Sisi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. So she opened the folder and showed the prepared materials to Gu Chenfei.
As Gu Chenfei was looking through them, Gu Sisi explained beside her. From the company's plan to the considerations regarding the characters, Gu Sisi had taken everything into account in great detail.
One had to admit that Gu Sisi had really done a great job. There was nothing wrong with her presentation, and she explained things clearly and logically. Gu Chenfei thought that even if she didn't know Gu Sisi at all, she would still agree to her proposal.
"Okay, stop talking. I get it." Gu Chenfei suddenly interrupted Gu Sisi halfway through.
Gu Sisi was a bit confused, and an alarm bell rang in her heart. After all that she had said, was the other party going to back out?
Seeing Gu Sisi looking at her nervously, as if afraid that she would go back on her word, Gu Chenfei suddenly found it a bit funny, and she actually laughed.
This was the second time Gu Chenfei had laughed in front of Gu Sisi. Her laughter made her goddess - like aura seem less unattainable and more approachable.
Gu Sisi was actually a bit stunned. She thought she might be crazy. Maybe only she would look at her "love rival" like this.
"Cough, we can sign the contract now." After laughing enough, Gu Chenfei got back to the point.
"What? Sign the contract?" The topic changed so quickly that Gu Sisi was a bit slow to react.
"The copyright sale contract. Didn't Miss Gu bring it when she came to meet me?"
Feeling Gu Chenfei's scrutinizing gaze, Gu Sisi felt a bit embarrassed because... she really hadn't brought it. She thought there would be several more meetings before the other party would agree to her. Who would have thought that the other party would agree just after this one meeting.
No one would believe this if she told them. She had thought that dealing with Gu Chenfei would be much more difficult, but the sudden drop in difficulty was a bit confusing. Was Gu Chenfei serious?
"It seems that Miss Gu's preparations are still not sufficient," Gu Chenfei said leisurely, looking at her.
"Who says so? I just didn't bring it with me. Since we're going to cooperate, I'm sure Miss Gu won't mind waiting a while." Saying this, Gu Sisi made a phone call to Xiaotao.
Xiaotao had helped her before, and she had always wanted to find an opportunity to thank her. Coincidentally, Xiaotao was working overtime in the company this weekend. She could ask Xiaotao to help deliver the documents, and then she could treat Xiaotao to a meal to thank her properly.
"Hello, is that Xiaotao? This is Gu Sisi. Are you still in the company? Can you do me a favor?"
"Yes, I'm here, Sister Sisi. Just tell me what I can do for you."
"Well, I'm currently discussing cooperation with that writer. The contract for the copyright sale is in the drawer of my desk. Can you get it and bring it to me?"
"Has the other party already agreed to cooperate? Sister Sisi, you're so amazing! Okay, okay. Don't worry. I'll come right away."
After telling Xiaotao the address, Gu Sisi hung up the phone. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Xiaotao's voice trembled a bit when she said the last sentence, as if she was afraid of something.
But maybe she was just overthinking. Gu Sisi shook her head, trying to get rid of these strange thoughts. Had she been too sensitive recently? Gu Sisi began to reflect on herself.
"I've already asked someone from the company to bring it over. Miss Gu, please wait a while. Coincidentally, while we're waiting, let's have some coffee. I also have something I'd like to ask Miss Gu."
"Oh? What does Miss Gu want to ask?" Gu Chenfei looked at the suddenly serious - looking Gu Sisi and was in a good mood.
"What's your relationship with Huo Cheng? Why were you having coffee alone with him?" Gu Sisi got straight to the point.
"What's my relationship with Huo Cheng? Miss Gu, I don't think I need to explain this to you. If you want an explanation, just go ask Huo Cheng yourself," Gu Chenfei said gracefully as she took a sip of coffee.
Gu Sisi thought this woman was deliberately trying to anger her. If she could get any answers from Huo Cheng, why would she bother asking Gu Chenfei? But since both of them were keeping silent, it was inevitable for Gu Sisi to feel suspicious.
However, suspicion was just suspicion. Gu Sisi couldn't find any evidence to question them. She really wanted to know what their relationship was. Too many doubts were weighing on Gu Sisi's mind.
Looking at Gu Chenfei's demeanor, it seemed that she had known Gu Sisi for a long time. Before, in this very place, this woman had mentioned that she and Huo Cheng had grown up together, which meant she had known Huo Cheng for a long time.
Then why did Huo Cheng tell her he was in a meeting at that time? What were they discussing? At the same time, Gu Chenfei had agreed to meet her and had so readily agreed to the cooperation and the sale of the copyright.
This also made Gu Sisi feel confused. If Gu Chenfei had some relationship with Huo Cheng, shouldn't she be hostile towards her and refuse to cooperate no matter what?
If they had no relationship, then what was the deal with seeing Gu Chenfei holding hands with Huo Cheng here before? Her eyes couldn't have deceived her.
Gu Sisi sipped her coffee while thinking about these things, while Gu Chenfei would look at Gu Sisi from time to time. The two of them sat there silently drinking coffee, and the scene was surprisingly harmonious.
After the time it took to finish a cup of coffee, Xiaotao arrived. The moment she walked in, she happened to meet Gu Chenfei's gaze. A hint of doubt flashed in Gu Chenfei's eyes, and she squinted slightly, staring at Xiaotao.
Xiaotao swallowed hard and forced herself to walk forward. This was really terrifying. She regretted coming. Curiosity really killed the cat. Because she was curious about how the two women would meet, Xiaotao hadn't refused Gu Sisi's request.
Now it seemed that it wasn't worth it.
