After hanging up the phone, Gu Cheng'an, who was originally full of high spirits, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Now he has not only failed to gain anything but also offended Mr. Deng, and also lost the Jiang family, his helper.

Although Jiang Zhaohui had no business dealings with him, the power of the Jiang family should not be underestimated. If the Jiang family could stand on his side, then there might be a chance for a turnaround on the board of directors' side.

"The girl next to Junchuan, the one from the Jiang family, right? The bodyguard who followed Nanyi said that Nanyi went to work in the store opened by the girl from the Jiang family. Otherwise, let Nanyi invite the girl from the Jiang family to have a meal at home?"

Gu Nanyiyi thought she had climbed over the wall and ran away without anyone noticing, but her mother knew her daughter too well. The more she forbad her to do something, the more rebellious she became. So when Nan Xiang knew she had climbed over the wall, she didn't catch her immediately. She just sent bodyguards to follow her and report Gu Nanyiyi's movements at any time to protect her.

Gu Chengan's eyes lit up, and his originally irritable mood suddenly turned into excitement: "Quick, call Nan Yi and ask her to invite that girl from the Jiang family to her home. It would be even better if that girl from the Jiang family could bring that unfilial son with her!"

Nan Xiang smiled slightly, nodded, left the study, and went outside to call her daughter...

Before Gu Junchuan and Jiang Tan finished their lunch, the news that Mr. Gu had a girlfriend and that he heroically saved the damsel in distress spread throughout the company. Before, they had only heard of such a girl, but no one had ever seen the real person. Now, the "legendary" person appeared before their eyes. For a while, people were coming and going outside the president's office, and the water in the tea room was almost in short supply.

Originally, Jiang Tan wanted to leave after delivering the charity lunch, but Gu Junchuan refused to let him go, so he could only sit leisurely on the sofa in the office, eating the snacks, fruits and refreshments that he had asked someone to prepare carefully, and checking his phone to see if there was anything new recently.

The sudden ringing of the cell phone startled Jiang Tan, who was about to fall asleep. He picked up the phone in a daze, and a female voice that sounded somewhat strange yet familiar came from the phone.

"Sister-in-law, my mom wants to treat you to a meal. Do you have time?"

His confused mind suddenly cleared up. Jiang Tan picked up his phone and looked at the number on it. It seemed a little strange: "Are you...Gu Nanyi?"

The girl opposite immediately grumbled a little aggrievedly: "Yes, sister-in-law, you have forgotten me in just a moment!"

Jiang Tan quickly explained: "I left in a hurry and forgot to save your phone number. Um, what did you just say?" She quickly changed the subject. She seemed to have heard someone wanting to treat her to a meal!

"My mommy heard about you and my brother, and she wants to treat you to a simple meal. I wonder if you are free."

As soon as Jiang Tan mentioned Gu Nanyiyi's name, Gu Junchuan, who was working in the office, put down the documents he was reviewing, stood up, walked to sit next to Jiang Tan, and when he heard Gu Nanyiyi talking, he took the phone from Jiang Tan.

"She's busy, don't bother."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. Jiang Tan glared at Gu Junchuan. Although the grudges of the previous generation were a little hard to explain, after several contacts, she had a good impression of Gu Nanyiyi. Even if she didn't go to dinner, it would be better to say it in a tactful way!

"Brother, I know you don't like my mommy, but you don't want your sister-in-law to follow you without any status, right? You know how powerful our circle is. I'm afraid that your sister-in-law will be wronged." Gu Nanyiyi is smart and knows where to start. However, she still doesn't know her brother very well.

"No need. I won't let her suffer any injustice." Gu Junchuan's cold but firm voice made Gu Nanyiyi not know what else to say.

"Then...then can you, for my sake, bring my sister-in-law home for dinner? If you are not happy with the meal, leave immediately, okay?" Gu Nanyiyi asked cautiously. She knew that this brother actually did not have any feelings for her. When she was a child, she envied others for having brothers, so she kept pestering Gu Junchuan who was in poor health, but she never got any response every time.

But in fact, she has always envied the atmosphere where the whole family can eat and chat together. However, people always envy what they don’t have...

"Okay, your brother and I will go over for dinner tonight." Jiang Tan snatched back his phone and said to the person on the phone. He saw Gu Junchuan's outstretched hand out of the corner of his eye and quickly hung up the phone.

Now it was Gu Junchuan who frowned: "You don't have to care about them. I don't have any relatives anymore."

Jiang Tan patted his head and said, "You think too much. I just want to take another look at that room. You know, your business is not over yet." After saying that, without waiting for Gu Junchuan's reaction, he patted the snack crumbs in his hand, picked up his bag, and blew him a kiss.

"Okay, I'm going to go prepare things for tonight. I can't embarrass myself like last time." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a strong force pulled her and she staggered. She spun around on the spot and her nose hit a hard embrace.

"Then you can't go. I can't accept the sight of you lying on the bed without any reaction!" Gu Junchuan's voice trembled slightly.

The hand that was about to rub the sore nose in mid-air suddenly stopped in mid-air, turned around, patted his back, and said in a somewhat annoyed tone:

"I was careless last time and got tricked by mistake. Whose family would have that kind of thing?" He said it without thinking, and then he realized that this "problematic" family was the family of his boyfriend who had just gotten married!

However, her new boyfriend seemed not to have heard the subtext, and was still worried that she might be in danger. He refused to let her go no matter what. It was not until she moved all her fellow apprentices out and asked them to accompany her to the Gu family's old house that Gu Junchuan reluctantly agreed.

After finally calming down her worried boyfriend, Jiang Tan left quickly, fearing that Gu Junchuan would change his mind again.

Jiang Tan didn't dare to breathe until he walked out of the company gate. He moved the corners of his mouth which were somewhat stiff from smiling. For the first time, he experienced the feeling of being the center of attention like a giant panda.

Jiang Tan did not return to the store. Instead, he called Chang Liu directly and told him what happened in the evening. Chang Liu agreed without saying anything else, but he might be a little late.

This made Jiang Tan curious, "What have you been busy with recently? Why do I feel like I haven't had a meal with you guys for a long time?"

Changliu laughed softly over the phone: "This time when we came down the mountain, we found some interests and hobbies, and we have been researching some new things recently."

Jiang Tan didn't ask any more questions. He just reminded him that there was a new employee in the store and hung up the phone to prepare the things he would need in the evening!
