Even though Xia Chuyi was the one being praised, she couldn’t feel happy at all. Her brows imdiately furrowed deeply.
"Mr. Guo, what do you an by that?" Xia Chuyi asked Guo Jiumin directly. "Mr. Guo, are you investigating ? Investigating the Ou Family?"
Putting it mildly, Guo Jiumin’s words might just an he had happened to learn about Xia Chuyi’s affairs through so channels.
But taken more seriously, this man was deliberately digging into her, deliberately digging into the Ou Family... and maybe even the Huo Family.
However, after hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Guo Jiumin still kept smiling and said, "Young Madam Huo, there’s no need to overthink it."
"I just happen to be a little interested in doing business as well," Guo Jiumin said. "So I just happened to know about Young Madam Huo’s situation."
"I, Guo, believe that Young Madam Huo is truly a rare heroine in the business world!" Guo Jiumin exclaid with emotion. "So I, Guo, want to know if I have any chance to cooperate with Young Madam Huo?"
Cooperate?
Xia Chuyi looked over at Guo Jiumin.
His words and actions made Xia Chuyi feel increasingly strange.
It was just that Xia Chuyi had no evidence at all to prove that Guo Jiumin harbored ill intentions.
So Xia Chuyi simply shook her head and said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Guo. Right now, most of my energy is focused on my family and my child."
"So everything else has to be put on hold for now," Xia Chuyi said on purpose with a hint of regret.
Hearing this, Guo Jiumin didn’t show much emotion, only saying, "Really? That is a pity then."
"But I, Guo, am sincerely seeking a chance to work with Young Madam Huo." Guo Jiumin’s eyes suddenly carried a deeper aning as he spoke. "If Young Madam Huo has any plans for her next step, you must rember to bring , Guo, in."
At Guo Jiumin’s words, not only Xia Chuyi, but even the director and Li Kexin vaguely felt sothing was off.
Fortunately, after saying this, Guo Jiumin quickly added, "In any case, my sincerity is right here. I hope Young Madam Huo will give it so serious thought."
"Then, everyone, I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave first," Guo Jiumin said to the group with a squinting smile.
At this, Li Kexin and the director exchanged a glance.
"Take care, Mr. Guo!" Li Kexin said imdiately.
"Yes, take care, Mr. Guo!" the director echoed.
They clearly had no intention of trying to keep him.
Of course, Guo Jiumin hadn’t planned on staying either.
Still smiling, he waved at the few of them, then led his n away from the celebration banquet.
After Guo Jiumin left, the director and Li Kexin exchanged another look.
"Ke Xin, this Mr. Guo..." the director began, clearly wanting to say sothing.
But halfway through, the director simply turned to Xia Chuyi instead. "Chuyi, are you close with Mr. Guo?"
"Why do I feel like he seems very familiar with you?" the director asked in puzzlent.
Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "I’m not close with Mr. Guo. I only t him once at my family’s full-month banquet."
As far as Xia Chuyi’s mory went, in both her previous life and this one, she had never known this man.
At her own son’s one-month banquet was the first ti she’d ever seen Guo Jiumin.
Still, he really was a national-treasure-level director; he judged people pretty accurately.
Because of what the director said, Xia Chuyi suddenly felt enlightened.
Right, what had been bothering her all along was that look in Guo Jiumin’s eyes when he looked at her—it seed as if he already knew everything?
And if he already knew everything... that only made it harder for Xia Chuyi to understand. Where on earth did Guo Jiumin get the confidence to think he had seen right through her?
