Chapter 1950: How Good Do You Think You Are?

“Gu Zhengrong, if you don’t want to look bad, quickly let go of me. Otherwise, I’ll call for help. If I do, the surrounding security will come over. Don’t regret it if it happens, don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”

Ignoring Gu Zhengrong, Tang Xiaoyu opened her mouth to call for the security officer, but Gu Zhengrong pressed a hand to her lips.

“Xiaoyu, we really need to have a good talk.”

Gu Zhengrong’s eyes were hurt. He had finally mustered his courage to look for Tang Xiaoyu, only to see her treating him like this.

“Okay, then give me 50 million and I won’t do that.”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at Gu Zhengrong, but her heart was exceptionally cold.

“Alright, I’ll give it to you. I’ll use 50 million to buy an hour of your time. Is that enough?”

Gu Zhengrong punched the wall behind Tang Xiaoyu angrily.

He was willing to do anything as long as he could spend a few minutes with her.

“Heh. Do you think I don’t know how much you earn? It’s hilarious that you want to buy an hour of mine with your 50 million. Let me tell you, I, Tang Xiaoyu, am not short of your 50 million. Do you think you are so great that you can buy my time? Then, let me tell you, you can’t buy it, nor are you able to buy it.”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at Gu Zhengrong in amazement and continued, “Gu Zhengrong, put away your pitiful look. Do you think I’m still that girl from back then? Let me tell you, you’re not the only one who can do it. I thought only you could do it back then, but you have to remember that it was back then, not now.”

Tang Xiaoyu was heartless and decisive. When she looked into Gu Zhengrong’s eyes, she found it so unfamiliar.

“Xiaoyu, I really…”

“If it’s not steamed, is it cooked?”1

Tang Xiaoyu did not wait for him to finish speaking and scolded him back.

“That proposal of yours is totally unacceptable!”

Gu Zhengrong had no choice but to reveal his motive for finding Tang Xiaoyu.

“Oh? Are you saying that my proposal is not good enough?”

Tang Xiaoyu’s heart skipped a beat as she looked into Gu Zhengrong’s eyes. “Do you think I’ll believe everything you say? Don’t be silly, I won’t believe you. Also, I have to tell you that my proposal is the most perfect. You’re not fit to criticize it.”

Tang Xiaoyu looked disdainfully at Gu Zhengrong. Standing at the entrance of the Li family villa, she looked down at him.

Under the night light, Gu Zhengrong’s eyes were actually filled with clouds. They were exceptionally beautiful and tugged at her heart.

“Don’t think that I’ll believe what you said today. Let me tell you, I, Tang Xiaoyu, will never believe you again. How important do you think you are? How capable do you think you are? Do you think…”

“You didn’t pass the proposal at this meeting, and you wouldn’t have passed it even if you had gotten it from someone else’s company. I’m going to be straightforward with you. You thought that your proposal was flawless, but you’re wrong. You’re missing one thing, and that is the unpublished data from the other party’s company.”

Tang Xiaoyu was speechless. In the folder Mr Li had given her, he had indeed drawn out the importance of these two points but she did not take it to heart. Just as she was about to come up with a solution, Gu Zhengrong came to look for her.

“What? Am I right? Your proposal doesn’t seem to be a response to the U Company at all. It seems more like you’re promoting it. That’s why your proposal doesn’t qualify.”

Gu Zhengrong completely rejected all of Tang Xiaoyu’s actions. In his heart, everything Tang Xiaoyu did was to prove to him that Gu Zhengrong was not the only one who could do all of this. She, as a woman, could also reach such a high position.

“Okay, so what if you’re right? I’m free to do whatever I want. This proposal hasn’t reached the final decision yet, so even if you’re right, so what?”

Tang Xiaoyu did not show it on her face, but her heart was already filled with fear.

“Yeah, you’re not afraid, but I’m afraid. I’m worried about you, you know? The mistake you made today is a big taboo. If someone finds out, they’ll use you. When that happens, Mr Li’s company’s reputation will be damaged. Is this the ending you want to see?”

Tang Xiaoyu stopped talking and looked at Gu Zhengrong. Her impression of this man changed for the first time. Perhaps, in Gu Zhengrong’s world, Tang Xiaoyu’s position was very important, but so what?

“Gu Zhengrong, listen carefully. Don’t think that I’ll forgive you for what you’ve done to me today just because you came to look for me. I’m here to tell you that I, Tang Xiaoyu, am no longer afraid of others using my weakness to threaten me. You don’t have to pretend to be nice to me. If others find out about this, they’ll probably think that we’re related. By then, how am I going to prove it to Mr Li? Do you think I can see everything you want? You’ve really underestimated me.”

Tang Xiaoyu did not continue speaking, but she kept thinking about the question Gu Zhengrong had asked. What he said was true, and what he suggested was also true.

“Xiaoyu, can you not hate me? I’m willing to do anything for you. As long as you’re willing, I’m willing to accompany you anywhere you want to go. As long as…”

“I don’t want to. Do you think I, Tang Xiaoyu, am that easy to talk to?”

Tang Xiaoyu stood four meters away from Gu Zhengrong and turned around to continue speaking. “Gu Zhengrong, wake up first. Don’t forget that in a few days, we’ll be competing for ourselves. Don’t forget not to lose too badly.”

Tang Xiaoyu’s lips curled up. If this man had said these words before she changed her mind, it would have been great. However, it was too late now. Everything could not return to how it was in the beginning. Everything was not the same as before.

“Xiaoyu, as long as you can forgive me, I’ll give you all the company contracts that I’ve taken over in the future. As long as you’re willing to forgive me, as long as you understand who I’ve been doing all this for and what I’ve been doing all this time, I’m willing to wait for you. I’ll wait for you to turn back.”

Gu Zhengrong shouted. He did not care if they were in the Li family’s villa. All he cared about now was the woman in front of him who had accompanied him for so many days and nights without any regrets.
