Chapter 66 Jealousy

Time flies so fast, and it's already the end of October in a blink of an eye. The chill in late autumn is getting thicker. Occasionally when I wake up in the morning, there is always a layer of white mist like blue smoke outside the window, which is so thick that it cannot be dissolved.

 After this period of hard work, the "Qinghe Yujing" project was finally put into operation successfully.

At the celebration banquet, many colleagues exchanged glasses with Lin Zhi enthusiastically, some she knew and some she didn't.

Lin Zhi was a little nervous when facing this kind of scene for the first time. She couldn't stop looking at Gu Qingbei behind her, as if her nervousness would be relieved a little only by confirming that he was beside her.

"Are you nervous?" Gu Qingbei caught her little movements and comforted her with a warm voice, "Imagine them as people you are familiar with, then look them directly in the eyes and try to take the initiative to control the topic, then you will not be so nervous. , give it a try."

Lin Zhi tried according to his method. Although he was not able to do it with ease, he could probably cope with it.

Fortunately, although many people said they were greeting her, they were actually coming for Gu Qingbei. As they chatted, the focus of the conversation turned to Gu Qingbei.

With him taking care of it for her, Lin Zhi relaxed a little. I picked out a few exquisite snacks and ate them.

 "Mr. Gu, congratulations!"

Suddenly, a voice of laughter came from behind, and Lin Zhi and Gu Qingbei turned around at the same time.

 He is Chairman Qi of the Beijing Real Estate Association.

This person, Lin Zhi, had only been seen in the news and newspapers before. Although he was over fifty years old, he had a gentle temperament and was a bit more refined in person than he looked on TV.

"I came to do other things today, and I happened to see the Jiahai Group's activities here, so I came in to take a look. I didn't expect to meet you here." President Qi's voice was hearty, and it seemed that he and Gu Qingbei were still on good terms. Considered familiar.

"The company's project celebration party." Gu Qingbei replied briefly, his eyes as calm and cold as ever.

"I know, the 'Qinghe Yujing' project. Now 'Qinghe Yujing' and 'Fenglin Wanyuan' have been successfully launched. Coupled with Jiahai's performance in the first half of the year, the real estate industry in Beijing ranks first this year. It's none other than you."

Gu Qingbei clinked glasses with him and said in a calm voice: "President Qi is so complimentary. With Jiahai's achievements, I cannot help but thank you for your usual help. I respect you."

 After saying that, he put his thin lips against the wine glass and took a polite sip.

Lin Zhi followed his actions and took a sip. His eyes switched between the two before they spoke, and the corners of his lips curved.

President Qi Xu noticed that Gu Qingbei was in a good mood today, so he had many questions while chatting and laughing: "Mr. Gu, although the 'Qinghe Royal View' project is not as big as the 'Fenglin Wanyuan' project, it involves many aspects. Quite a few. What's your secret to being able to advance so quickly?"

"The secret?" Gu Qingbei held the wine glass in his right hand and unconsciously rubbed the stem of the glass a few times with his fingertips, as if thinking.

After a while, the dark eyes suddenly looked in Lin Zhi's direction, and his voice was slightly chuckled: "The secret is to be good at using people."

 "oh?"

The look in Gu Qingbei's eyes was so obvious that no one could ignore it. President Qi followed his gaze and looked at Lin Zhi, "So, your secret is this beauty. Who is this?"

Lin Zhi was stared at by the two of them at the same time and felt a little nervous. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Gu Qingbei's voice next to him.

 "Lin Zhi, she is in charge of this 'Qinghe Yujing' project."

Lin Zhi was a little stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Gu Qingbei would introduce her specifically in front of a leader of this level.

He could just attribute this to himself, and there was no need to introduce her separately.

Before she could recover, President Qi's voice came from next to her again.

"I didn't expect that Miss Lin could already take charge of her own business at such a young age. She is really formidable and formidable."

"No, no, Mr. Gu taught me well." Lin Zhi replied with a smile, his voice a little dry.

After President Qi left, Lin Zhi's thoughts seemed to still be stuck in the conversation just now.

A small assistant like her actually had a few minutes of face-to-face communication with the president of the Beijing Real Estate Association just now?

Seeing her stunned look, Gu Qingbei couldn't help but find it a little funny: "I've come to my senses, and I'm already far away."

Lin Zhi's long eyelashes trembled, as if she was still reminiscing: "I have only seen Chairman Qi in the news before. Today is the first time I see him in person. I didn't expect a leader of this level to be so kind."

 Hearing this, Gu Qingbei tightened her fingers on the wine glass and raised her eyebrows unconsciously.

 Just a president? Does this kid need to be so exaggerated?

He is also the president of Jiahai Group, the leader in real estate. His status is much higher than that of a mere district president. Moreover, he talks to her every day and teaches her specifically. Isn't he more kind to her than this president?

 I have never seen her so excited about him...

"Mr. Gu, I didn't show anything bad just now, did I?" Lin Zhi turned her head, with a bit of expectation in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Gu Qingbei picked up the remaining red wine in his hand and drank it all in one gulp, and said in a muffled voice, "No."

"That's good," Lin Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little annoyed, "Hey, I was too nervous just now, otherwise I should have chatted more. This opportunity will definitely be gone in the future."

 The wrinkles between Gu Qingbei's eyebrows deepened. Is this child okay?

 Want to chat a few more words? Do you really think he is a tool next to you...

 "Are you happy talking to him?"

"Yes," Lin Zhi said, "He is the president of the Beijing Real Estate Association. Moreover, I have learned about his past before. He is a boy from a poor family, and he has reached this position all by himself. It is really amazing."

Gu Qingbei's voice was a little cold: "You know quite a lot. Have you ever had a special understanding of him?"

"No," Lin Zhi shook his head, "President Qi, like me, is also a graduate of Peking University, so I feel a bit familiar without realizing it. In the past, the school's bulletin board was all about his deeds. He can be seen from a young age. Perhaps only children from small towns can relate to the fact that the town has reached this point."

When she said the word "small town", there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. Although it only flashed past, Gu Qingbei still noticed it.

It seemed that she had never mentioned her origin in front of him or talked about things in her hometown. Naturally, he didn't know the feelings between them.

 Gu Qingbei's thin lips pursed into a straight line, and her mood suddenly changed.

 He was angry, angry with himself.

The child obviously didn't mean anything else, but he couldn't help but think of other places, and even couldn't control his bad tone towards her...

Gu Qingbei didn't know where this strange emotion came from, but it seemed that he could call it "jealous" for the time being?
