Gong Qiu thought of Huo Yicheng. She seemed to have never heard about his employees going on a trip. She could ask him tonight.
That night, Gong Qiuyi and Huo Yigang sat on the carpet and ate pasta made by Huo Yigang. Gong Qiuyi enjoyed the meal very much. She could swear that this was the best pasta she had ever eaten.
.
"By the way, by the way, have you ever taken your employees on a trip?" Gong Qiuyi wiped his mouth and looked at Huo Yiheng.
"No."
"Why?" Gong Qiu opened her eyes wide, she thought he was a good boss.
"Only small companies like you are free for travel. If all our employees go there one day, something big will happen." Huo Yicheng shook his head and looked at Gong Qiu's face.
Full of doubts.
"It seems so..." Gong Qiuyi curled her lips and cursed in her heart that this boss is not good.
"Although they can't travel together as a group, they still have annual leave to enjoy."
"..." That's pretty much it. Gong Qiu found out that he wasn't actually that bad. Last time, Assistant Qiao asked for leave, but it was later approved, although the leave changed from a week to a few days.
"How are you doing? Where are you going with your employees?" Huo Yigang asked casually, and he was already prepared.
"I want to go somewhere warm."
"Thailand is pretty good."
"Hey, it seems good!"
Gong Qiuyi immediately snatched Huo Yichang's laptop, took it over and began to check the information seriously. Huo Yicheng took out his mobile phone and had already helped her get ready.
After Huo Yiheng finished washing the dishes, he saw that she was still in the same posture. He knew at a glance that she must be chatting happily with her employees. As long as Gong Qiu had a happy chat with her employees, she would forget about it.
his existence.
This time he did not bother Gong Qiu, but went to take a shower and go about his own business.
At around 12 o'clock in the evening, Huo Yigang saw that Gong Qiuyi had not returned to his room. When he walked out, he found that Gong Qiuyi had fallen asleep on the coffee table, holding the mouse in one hand. This was not the first time he had seen this.
Gong Qiuyi sometimes gets busy, and he is in this state almost every day. He has complained many times, and Gong Qiuyi is very insistent on his own. They have also quarreled many times over this issue.
In the end, he had no choice but to let her go. That was what she loved about her career, just like he was a workaholic before, but he didn't love it, he had to.
The two rushed to the hospital again early the next morning, but this time it was different. Huo Yicheng held Gong Qiuyi's hand and walked in together. Gong Qiuyi refused, and Huo Yichang just refused to let go.
As soon as the two of them entered, the original warm atmosphere inside was broken. Especially when Wang Jianman looked at Gong Qiu Yizai, his face froze, as if he was trying his best to hold back something. Li Yuqin and Huo Zhenting on the side were much calmer.
It was the first time that Gong Qiu Yi saw Wang Jiamen's grandfather at such a close distance. He was lying on the bed looking very good and did not appear to be sick. When he saw her appearance, he immediately smiled and was very kind. Gong Qiu Yi also relaxed.
a bit.
Gong Qiu didn't know him very well. She only knew that he was not a big shot in the upper class and could not be messed with. Wang Weiqin.
"This is the Gong... Qiu Yi you always said you wanted to show me?" Wang Weiqin also noticed that Huo Yicheng had been holding Gong Qiu Yi's hand and took his eyes on it.
"Well, that's her. This is Wang Jian'an's grandfather."
"Hello, Grandpa." Gong Qiuyi smiled slightly, and Huo Zhenting kept giving Gong Qiu a gentle smile, indicating that she didn't need to be so nervous, they were all here.
"I still think my precious granddaughter is prettier." Wang Weiqin immediately put his arm around Wang Jian's shoulders and said with a smile.
"She is so beautiful, even my Yi Xin can't compare to her." Li Yuqin immediately came out to smooth things over, and then Gong Qiu Yihao stepped down.
Gong Qiu never thought that Li Yuqin would help her like this. From Wang Weiqin's words, it sounded less like a deliberate move and more of a joke. Huo Yicheng changed from holding her hand to holding her waist.
Declaring her identity forcefully, Huo Yigang was responding with actions. He didn't take Wang Weiqin's words to heart at all. Just forget it and don't care.
"She is my precious granddaughter, and I am very proud of it. Look at how many girls have such successful careers now. If another boy pursues me in the future, I still have to see how good that boy is.
Otherwise, I won’t be worthy of you."
"Grandpa, if you say that, wouldn't it be difficult for me to get married?" Wang Jiaman immediately replied pretending to be unhappy.
"Where does Gong Qiu work? Is it Huo Yicheng's company?" Wang Weiqin asked.
"No, she has her own brand, have you forgotten? I am collaborating with her for this show, and the clothes she designed are very beautiful." Wang Jiamen answered for Gong Qiuyi.
"What brand is that? Why haven't I heard of it?" Wang Weiqin frowned, showing a hint of disdain for Gong Qiu's brand.
"That's an ordinary brand, and it's not targeted at the upper class customers." Huo Yicheng said the first sentence.
"How can she be worthy of you like this? You don't even work with the same people." Wang Weiqin looked at Huo Yicheng, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Gong Qiuyi was shocked. She never thought that others would look at her and Huo Yicheng like this. It seemed that they were from two different worlds, and the person who could cooperate with Huo Yicheng was not someone she could know at all.
.
Her brand did not want to expand to such a high level. It felt very good now and she hoped it would continue forever and there was no need to expand it anymore. However, she ignored Huo Yicheng and forgot how others would evaluate him.
"Look at a pair of shoes designed by Jia Meng. How many pieces of clothing does Gong Qiu have to sell to afford it? And how many pairs can you buy with just one cooperation!" Wang Weiqin said, and Gong Qiu lowered his head in bewilderment.
For the first time, she felt very embarrassed. It was Huo Yicheng's face that made her unable to raise her head. She could not raise her head proudly and tell others that I was that good.
Everyone in the ward was aloof, and she became very small in front of them. Many people outside would have the same evaluation as Wang Weiqin, and they all knew that there was a huge gap between Huo Yicheng and Gong Qiuyi.
"It's the same money she earned. She doesn't rely on anyone but works hard on her own. She's better than any of us." Huo Yigang hugged Gong Qiuyi's waist tighter.
Everyone present listened to it, and no one refuted it. That was because there was no evidence to refute it. Just as Huo Yicheng said, people in their circle are more likely to have the relationship because of their parents or the previous generation.
Such a large network of people has opened up a path for my career.
Gong Qiu, on the other hand, buys these things purely because others really like them. Others are sincere. Even if it is indeed not comparable to their business, she does not rely on any relationship, which is already something to be proud of.
At least that's what Huo Yicheng thinks. Those who say that Gong Qiu earns little and is not well-known for her brand should first weigh themselves and see if they are like her. They do not rely on family members or any connections.
of.
Li Yuqin glanced at Gong Qiuyi. Gong Qiuyi couldn't tell what the look was. It seemed to say that I belong to you? Or he said in his heart that she had taught Huo Yicheng a bad lesson. Huo Zhenting was very fond of Huo Yicheng.
very satisfied.
"She is nothing without the Gong family." Wang Weiqin replied unwillingly.
"Her brand is in the store, and she doesn't use her real name. Who would know that it belongs to the Gong family? It has never been promoted vigorously." Huo Yicheng was very reasonable and answered slowly and calmly.
No matter how many questions Wang Weiqin throws at him, he can always answer them calmly. Who makes Gong Qiu so reasonable? There are many things about her that others don't know. He wants to help her stand up and speak out.
.
God knows how excited Gong Qiu was in her heart. She never thought that Huo Yicheng would dare to say these things to Wang Jian'an's grandfather for her sake. According to the relationship between seniority, Huo Yicheng didn't have to say these things.
In the end, he did it, as if he didn't give her face to anyone. In front of so many people, especially when her parents were also there, he didn't consider anyone and give her a fair hearing.
"Besides, if she really wants to be famous, with me here, does her brand still need to be so low-key?"
"..." Wang Weiqin couldn't answer. He held Wang Meng's hand tighter and wanted to vent his anger for his granddaughter. Instead, he was angered by Huo Yicheng. This brat had been trying to please him in the past few years.
Now that he has a wife, his face has been reduced a bit. How dare you say this to him before? Now that Wang Jian'an is no longer with him, he has become arrogant. This is what Wang Weiqin is angry about. At least he thinks that Huo Yicheng
I will remember that he is always the elder.
Everyone can see how much Huo Yicheng protects Gong Qiu Yi, implying that everyone should not try to bully Gong Qiu Yi in the same way.
"Yes, grandpa, Gong Qiu is really very capable and her clothes are very nice. If she wasn't excellent, why would I choose to cooperate with her? My vision is not that bad!" Wang Jiemo hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and the atmosphere was tense.
It just got a little better.
"You gave this opportunity to Gong Qiu for Yi Heng, I know it." Wang Weiqin did not give up.
"Grandpa, don't do this."
"You just want to help her gain popularity so that she can stand shoulder to shoulder with Huo Yicheng. Why are you so stupid..."
Wang Weiqin patted Wang Meng's shoulder gently, feeling sorry for his granddaughter, and glared at Gong Qiu. Gong Qiu lowered his head so he didn't notice. Huo Yicheng saw this small movement.
"Qiu Yi, why don't you thank me quickly?" Li Yuqin was silent for a while and winked at Gong Qiu Yi.
"No!" Before Gong Qiuyi was about to speak, Huo Yicheng interrupted Gong Qiuyi and said something that shocked the people present. This was obviously Li Yuqin trying to make things easier, but Huo Yicheng refused.
.
Every second in the ward was torture for Gong Qiu. It seemed like an hour. She had to exert herself even if she didn't take a breath. The atmosphere was so overwhelming that she could hardly breathe. She was so unbearable in front of them.
.
"To thank Wang Jiaman, I have decided to help her open ten physical stores in Germany."
"..."
Huo Yicheng's words suppressed everyone. Even Wang Jiamen himself couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that Huo Yicheng went to such an extent for Gong Qiuyi and wanted to compensate her with money.
Just so that Gong Qiu would not be embarrassed and the elders would look at her, he would be able to help her if something happened to her.
Gong Qiu turned her head to look at him, feeling uncontrollable excitement in her heart. She knew very well that Huo Yicheng had no need to do this at all. He had never thought about it. It would only increase her burden and make her even more unable to be with him.
Be more equal in front of everyone.
She knows better than anyone how far the distance is between her and him. She is the person involved. If she doesn't know, then she really doesn't deserve to be with Huo Yicheng, so she has always hoped that Huo Yichang can walk slower and let Huo Yicheng walk more slowly.
She chased after him.
She ran forward hard just so that one day she and Huo Yicheng could walk openly in front of everyone and tell them that she could be worthy of Huo Yicheng and break all the rumors outside.
"We'll leave first if we have something else to do."
Huo Yigeng took Gong Qiuyi's hand and walked out. The remaining few people had not yet reacted. Wang Jianman looked at Li Yuqin sadly, and Li Yuqin shook his head. There was nothing she could do.
Li Yuqin hadn't communicated with the children for a long time, so she didn't understand what was going on. She didn't understand Huo Yiqin more and more. She only found out about everything he did after the fact.
It was too late to even dissuade him.
Looking at Huo Yicheng and Gong Qiu's disappearing figures, they sighed. Huo Zhenting held her shoulders and signaled not to think too much.
Huo Yicheng led Gong Qiuyi all the way into the elevator. Gong Qiuyi shook his hand away hard and looked at him angrily. Huo Yichang seemed to have expected her anger and looked calm.
Facing Gong Qiu Yi.
"You are doing this not only to embarrass Wang Jiaman, but also to his parents, especially Wang Jiaman's grandfather." Gong Qiuyi took a deep breath, not wanting to start a big argument.
"This is the best way."
"Whether you are doing this for me or to make up for Wang Jian'an, you know better than anyone else."
"If it was to make up for her, I would not have chosen a place other than Germany." Huo Yigang folded his arms and waited patiently for Gong Qiu to continue asking questions.
From the moment Wang Weiqin opened his mouth, he realized that the meeting would definitely end on bad terms, so he took the opportunity to tell him what happened in Germany. He could do many things for Gong Qiu, it just depended on whether he was willing or not.
"You will only make me find it more difficult to be with you. My status is not equal to yours at all." Gong Qiuyi softened and said with choked sobs.
"Isn't Mrs. Huo's status enough? Do you need me to transfer all my assets to you and wait for you to take care of me?" Huo Yichang didn't mean to joke at all and stared at Gong Qiu seriously.
He stretched out his hands to hold Gong Qiu Yi's cheek. She had been holding back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, trying her best not to let them flow out. He felt very distressed and made Gong Qiu Yi cry again.
He lowered his head, gently kissed Gong Qiu Yi's tears away, and gently patted her soft back.
