"What request?" Gu Mian looked at Tang Ming in confusion.

  "After a while, there will be a cocktail party and I would like to invite Miss Gu as my companion." Tang Ming smiled at Gu Mei.

  "A female companion?" Gu Mian sized Tang Ming up from head to toe, then shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this one. If Mr. Tang wants a female companion, he shouldn't have any trouble finding one. I'm not quite suitable."

  "Why isn't it suitable?" Tang Ming heard Gu Mian's direct refusal and didn't get angry, but instead asked patiently.

  Gu Mei played with the small box containing the ring, looked up at Tang Ming and asked softly: "I don't know what kind of wine party Mr. Tang is referring to?"

  "It's hosted by the Haohan Group, it can be considered a warm-up before the New Year." Tang Ming replied.

  She nodded slightly: "Then do you know who is the chairman of the board of Haohan Group?"

  "Of course it's Han..." Tang Ming was taken aback, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Gu Mian with a hint of apology: "It was my oversight, I actually forgot about Miss Han and Miss Gu's relationship."

  The chairman of the Haohan Group is Han Lu's father. Before this, Gu Mian had already learned about this wine party from Han Lu. This wine party was not particularly formal, just a way for some people who got along well to gather together and pull relationships. Han Lu had attended one before graduating from high school, but after going abroad, she never went again.

  This time Han Lu returned home, and Gu Ming naturally couldn't escape, having received the invitation early on.

  As soon as Tang Ming mentioned the wine party, she remembered that a few days ago when she saw Han Lu, Han Lu specifically mentioned that they had sent an invitation to Tang Ming.

  At that time, Han Lu jokingly pointed out to Gu Ming that maybe Tang Ming would come back and invite her as his partner, but unexpectedly, it really came true and was guessed by the great beauty Han.

  "So Miss Gu is planning to go alone?" Tang Ming looked at Gu Ming like that, and knew that he probably had no chance. However, he still asked with a glimmer of hope.

  "Of course it's just one person going, did the invitation say that you can't go alone?" Gu Meng asked back.

  "Of course not." Tang Ming shook his head, secretly regretting that he was a step late. If he had acted faster, he might have been able to make the request before Gu Mian received the invitation letter.

  As Han Lu said, Tang Ming's reputation precedes him, and even if he has been honest for a while now, it can't change what he did before.

  However, this guy still has some measure, the women he found are all ordinary roles, and none of them have a family background like Han Lu's. After all, if you get involved with a woman from a comparable family, once it starts, sometimes it's not that easy to end.

  If Gu Mei already had a certain reputation in the eyes of everyone, then her appearance as Tang Ming's companion wouldn't be a big deal. At most, people would just take a few more glances and quietly gossip about it.

  If she appears with Tang Ming in her current state that most people don't know about, she'll definitely be on the gossip headlines the next day.

  What a sparrow turns into a phoenix, modern version of Cinderella and other titles are absolutely flying everywhere.

  This was definitely not what Gu Mei wanted to see. She had already received Han Lu's invitation and could attend the party openly, so why did she need to be treated as an accessory by others and become a topic of conversation?

  Tang Ming is not a fool either. Gu Qing has made it so obvious, even if he doesn't give up, it's not good to say more. Can only drop this topic now.

  Gu Xiang still felt a little sorry for Tang Ming in her heart, no matter what kind of person Tang Ming was, she always felt that such direct rejection wasn't quite right.

  She had never been one to compromise herself for others, so despite feeling apologetic, she couldn't fulfill Tang Ming's request.

  After leaving the coffee shop together, Gu Mei directly returned to the hospital, while Tang Ming also went about doing his own thing.

  When they arrived at the hospital gate, Gu Mei specially bought some small and sweet honey tangerines that her family loved, especially her grandfather. They would buy a lot every year during Chinese New Year.

  Carrying a large bag of kumquats, Gu Meng returned to the ward and unexpectedly yet reasonably saw Qin Sheng.

  Just met Tang Ming, now Qin Sheng has appeared again, and she is a little upset in her heart.

  Qin Sheng has been running back and forth to the hospital for three days. Grandpa is dull, but he understands Qin Sheng's little thoughts, let alone Grandpa's leg was injured, not his brain.

  Seeing such a handsome and excellent young man taking a liking to his family's Mengmeng, Grandfather was just as happy as Mother. After observing for several days and feeling that Qin Sheng wasn't bad, he quietly watched the developments from the side.

  Young people these days don't like it when family members interfere with their affairs, and Gu Mian has always been someone who knows her own mind. At most, they would let the young people talk things over among themselves; as long as things didn't go too far, they would turn a blind eye.

  Because of this, the small garden in the hospital almost became the revolutionary base for Gu Xiang and Qin Sheng. They would stroll around there every day, chatting as they went along.

  To be honest, Gu Mei looked at Qin Sheng who was having a great time beside her and felt extremely annoyed. She didn't know what kind of relationship Pan Ruo Feng and Qin Sheng had, nor did she have the leisure to find out. But this Qin Sheng always kept a low profile while doing things, which really made her feel stifled.

  That window paper is about to be pierced, after all, whether to chase her or what, more or less should show some attitude, now it's no longer popular to secretly admire someone.

  Unrequited love is the most untrustworthy thing, you can be secretly in love until death, but if you don't speak out, no one will know, and in the end, when you see the person you like being affectionate with someone else, all you can do is cry alone, it's simply self-torture.

  "Hao Han Group's cocktail party, who are you planning to go with?" Qin Sheng didn't ask some irrelevant questions like Tang Ming did, he directly hit the core.

  Look, just this one question, and the difference between the two people is clear.

  This shows that Qin Sheng knows more than Tang Ming, has a deeper understanding and is more cunning.

  Gu Mei received an invitation from Han Lu, this matter, she didn't even tell her mom and grandfather, let alone Qin Sheng.

  "I'll go by myself." Gu Mian turned around to look at Qin Sheng and asked, "Just now Tang Ming also asked a similar question to yours, you two really have an understanding. Who are you planning to go with?"

  Hmph, don't underestimate her. Han Lu told her that Tang Ming received the invitation letter, and Qin Sheng also received it.

  The store front of Gu Hongzhai is small, but the interpersonal relationships are not few. Qin Sheng's invitation letter was actually settled by Han Lu's father.

  "I'll go myself." Qin Sheng heard Gu Mei's words and his pupils slightly contracted, then he continued: "Mr. Tang wants to invite you as his companion?"

  "Uh-huh." Gu Ming nodded and replied without hesitation.

  Qin Sheng looked at Gu Mian's profile, and again thought of Tang Ming's face. His expression didn't change, but the aura emanating from his body was a few degrees colder than before.

  Gu Mei slightly raised an eyebrow and smiled but didn't say a word, however in her heart she felt a small surge of delight upon hearing that Qin Sheng also went to the party alone without a female companion.

  Because both of them are quite capable, there has been no substantial progress since they returned from Shaanxi. Qin Sheng is anxious or not, Gu Mian doesn't know, anyway Gu Mian is not anxious, but her calmness does not represent others' anxiety, the most anxious ones are Han Lu and Bai Fangfang.

  Han Lu is slightly better, she has always been more stable in terms of relationships between men and women, from time to time reminding Gu Mian to control the pace, absolutely cannot fall into the opponent's hands, being led by the nose by the opponent. As for Bai Fangfang, she can't stand Qin Sheng's ambiguous attitude, wishing that Qin Sheng would immediately confess to Gu Mian.

  Whatever the outcome is, the attitude must be clear first.

  Moreover, with Pan Rufeng of unclear intentions by her side, Bai Fangfang became even more anxious, constantly reminding Gu Mian in his ear.

  It's said that three women can make a play, but with the cunning and unpredictable Han Lu, the flustered Bai Fangfang, and the relatively calm Gu Can, these three women together are not just a simple play.

  No matter what Tang Ming and Qin Sheng think, Gu Mian is being tormented by Han Lu and Bai Fangfang, living a life of fire and water every day.

  Time flies, after Grandpa's successful surgery and a period of observation in the hospital, he was picked up and brought home. Since the house matter has not been settled yet, although it is not very convenient to take care of Grandpa, we can only make do with squeezing together.

  Things in Shaanxi are going very smoothly, Mr. Qiao said on the phone that he will be back after completing the handover. The things they found on their trip to Shaanxi, I don't know how their private investigation team's investors and the central government negotiated, but surprisingly, most of the things they found were bought back by the central government at a certain price, which was a small surprise for Gu Mian.

  The trip to Shaanxi was a bit tiring and there were some small unexpected events, but the reward was great. Gu Mei felt very satisfied with the increased numbers in her account, this one trip was worth several years of her salary at the government agency.

  But the salary had just been received and hadn't even warmed up yet, when it flowed out again. The culprits behind all this were Han Lu and Bai Fangfang, these two women who feared that the world was not chaotic enough.

  The wine party was held in one of the villas at Han Lu's house, and most people who received the invitation had arrived by then. After they arrived, they mostly gathered together in twos and threes to talk in low voices, only looking up when someone worth paying attention to arrived.
