Chapter 1494 - Fate Has Brought Us Together
Hello, Mr. Major General
Gu Nianzhi instinctively clenched her fists. She was very upset that she had been so outspoken.
This was the parallel universe that corresponded to the other world. What was so strange about seeing someone who looked exactly the same?
She was surprised because she was still too inexperienced...
Gu Nianzhiâs mind raced, and a reason came naturally to her. â... Someone knows you and showed me your photo.â
âWho is it? Is it someone I know?â Not believing her, Bai Shuang looked at her suspiciously.
Gu Nianzhi opened the door to the private room and peeked out. She put her finger to her lips and telling her not to speak, she shushed her.
Bai Shuang frowned and looked at her. âDonât go out. You just hit someone and caused trouble. That personâs family is quite powerful...â
Gu Nianzhi smiled and waved her hand. âItâs okay. That person wonât say I hit him.â
âWhy wouldnât he? Do you think heâs that kind?â Bai Shuang pouted. âThat person is the most lecherous, and his family is rich. Even his sisters in the hotel donât dare to offend him. Who knows how many people heâs taken advantage of.â
Gu Nianzhi opened the door of the private room a little more and said, âListen for yourself.â
Bai Shuang came over.
The man was carried over by two people. He said to the police officer who had come to investigate and collect evidence, âOfficer, you have to catch him and avenge me! The man was 1.9 meters tall and strong! He weighed about 250 kilograms! His arms were as thick as my thighs, and his fists were shockingly big. I resisted desperately before he pushed me to the ground!â
Bai Shuang: â...â
She shot Gu Nianzhi a quick glance.
The girl was tall, curvy, and beautiful.
How was she a 1.9-meter-tall man?
Had the man outside been beaten silly by this girl? Was he talking nonsense?
Gu Nianzhi saw her incredulity and closed the door to the private room with satisfaction. She smiled and said, âThis kind of son of a b*tch bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. He also wants face. He wonât give me up.â
âThink about it. If his friends find out that he was severely beaten by a young girl, how will he be able to face them in the future? Where would his ego go?â
âSo the person who beat him must be a 1.9-meter-tall, strong man!â
Gu Nianzhi puffed out her chest. âA 1.9-meter-tall, strong man is here. What do you think, miss?â
Bai Shuang giggled at her teasing and pinched Gu Nianzhiâs face. âYouâre so smart and eloquent.â
Gu Nianzhi also touched Bai Shuangâs face and smiled. âYou flatter me.â
She quickly glanced at the room and saw that there was a large screen opposite the door. It was as tall as a person and blocked the view of the room. She couldnât see who was inside.
There was a wine table beside her with all kinds of red wine on it. It looked expensive.
The Lady in the hotel uniform must be the wine hostess.
Gu Nianzhi had a strange expression on her face.
She hadnât expected Bai Shuang to be the wine hostess of the hotel.
Bai Shuang had been burdened by her father and hadnât had a good ending, but before that, she had been the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...
It was like heaven and earth.
Bai Shuang saw the strange look in Gu Nianzhiâs eyes and asked her in puzzlement, âWho showed you my photo? Maybe I know him.â
Gu Nianzhi sighed in her heart and casually said, âYou guys know each other. Itâs Brother Ze.â
âLittle... Ze?â Bai Shuangâs expression turned strange. âWhatâs his full name?â
âZhao Liangze. His name is Zhao Liangze. I call him Brother Ze.â Gu Nianzhi made it up.
At that moment, she noticed that there seemed to be someone speaking on the other side of the screen, but he had quieted down.
Her gaze fell on Bai Shuang, who was standing on the other side of the screen. She saw that Bai Shuangâs beautiful face was actually blushing.
Gu Nianzhi was puzzled. She couldnât understand why she was blushing.
At that moment, Bai Shuang moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, âThis Zhao Liangze youâre talking about, this Brother Ze, who is he to you?â
Gu Nianzhi was stunned. She didnât understand what was going on.
However, seeing Bai Shuangâs hopeful expression, and thinking about how Bai Shuang had died tragically in Zhao Liangzeâs arms in the other world so the two of them were unable to grow old together, her heart was filled with pity.
She held Bai Shuangâs hand and said word by word, âBrother Ze is my cousin. He likes you very much. No, he loves you very much. He will only love you for the rest of his life.â
âHuh?!â Bai Shuang had never expected the girl to say something like that. She was shocked. âMr. ... Mr. Zhao is your cousin?!â
âMr. Zhao?â Gu Nianzhiâs heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling about this.
She heard a man in the private room behind the screen laugh softly. His voice was mellow and deep, and he looked very stylish.
He seemed to pat someone twice and said, âLittle Ze, your cousin is here.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Nianzhiâs lips twitched.
It couldnât be such a coincidence, could it?!
She closed her eyes and grabbed the handle of the private room door.
A tall and handsome man walked out from the other side of the screen.
He was wearing an ash grey casual suit with the front of his shirt open, revealing a black t-shirt underneath. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his dark hair was waxed. He didnât look disheveled at all.
He looked like an upstart from the city.
His appearance perfectly matched that of Zhao Liangze, who she used to be familiar with. He had a crew cut and wore a military uniform all year round.
It was Zhao Liangze!
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. âBrother Ze?!â
Her heart jumping with joy, she couldnât help but walk up to him. Was he sent by Major General Huo?!
Zhao Liangze looked at Gu Nianzhi with a teasing smile on his face. âLittle cousin? Long time no see.â
He lifted Gu Nianzhiâs arm, opened the door with one hand, and dragged her out of the room.
Gu Nianzhiâs heart pounded. She really hoped that this person was Zhao Liangze.
But from the strength of the manâs grip on her arm, Gu Nianzhi realized with regret that she was overthinking things.
This Zhao Liangze wasnât Brother Ze from the Special Operations Forces.
Zhao Liangze was here today with his boss, President Lu, to discuss business. He hadnât expected that in the blink of an eye, he would not only have a âlittle cousinâ, but also a âloverâ who âloved her dearlyâ.
He had wanted to scold the person who had spread the rumors and expose her tricks in public.
However, when he came out, he saw that the person who had spread the rumors was actually a beautiful little girl.
And when the little girl saw him, her eyes lit up, as if she really knew him.
Zhao Liangze couldnât help but wonder in his heart: Did he really have such a beautiful little cousin?
Why didnât he remember her at all.
He pulled Gu Nianzhi to the corridor outside the private room. The crowd that had gathered there earlier had already dispersed.
The young man who had been severely beaten by Gu Nianzhi walked past them. He staggered a few steps, but didnât identify Gu Nianzhi. Instead, he followed his friend into the elevator and headed upstairs.
He was probably going to see a doctor.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Liangze had been watching Gu Nianzhi intently.
He heard everything she had said to the hostess at the door.
He and President Lu were standing right in front of the screen, so he had heard everything clearly.
At first, he hadnât paid much attention to it. He had only thought that the girl had a special interest in the âassasinâ incident, so he and President Lu both held back their laughter.
In the end, they had heard their own names. Not only had they heard their own names, but they had also heard that he had a cousin, and even a lover.
He had no choice but to come out. In the end, he was pushed out by President Lu.
The lights in the corridor werenât very bright. Zhao Liangze crossed his arms and looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was at a loss. The smile on his face grew wider and wider.
âYoung lady, are you new here? Are you also a hostess here?â
Gu Nianzhi: â...â
Zhao liangze often came to the bar to drink and discuss business. He was very familiar with the waiters who served them.
However, he had never met Gu Nianzhi before, so he had assumed that she was new.
âThis incident has taught you to be honest and not to lie. See how embarrassing it is to be exposed in front of others when youâre lying?â Zhao Liangze patted Gu Nianzhiâs head calmly, âGo back and explain to Miss Bai that youâre talking nonsense. I donât love her very much. Your joke is too big. If my girlfriend hears it, sheâll never let you off the hook.â
Gu Nianzhi was instantly very disappointed. âYou have a girlfriend?â
Zhao Liangze actually didnât have a girlfriend, but he didnât want to tell this girl that he didnât have a girlfriend. What did it have to do with her?
Was there a reason to start a rumor? !
âYes.â He became cold. âThatâs all I have to say. If you donât tell her, Iâll tell her myself.â
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and was about to cry. Under the dim light, a pair of big, bright eyes looked like they were about to cry. Zhao Liangzeâs heart softened.
âDonât cry...â Zhao Liangzeâs tone softened. âI just told you not to lie... I didnât mean anything by it...â
Her lips shriveling even more, Gu Nianzhi continued to look at him.
Zhao Liangze couldnât take it anymore. He waved his hand and furrowed his brows. âForget it, forget it. Weâre not close anyway. Just pretend I didnât hear you. Donât say that again.â
He turned around and walked into the private room, then gently closed the door.
Distracted, Bai Shuang held a wine glass and stood beside the door.
When she saw Zhao Liangze enter, she stole a glance at him. When she saw him looking over, she quickly retracted her gaze and pretended as if nothing had happened. She used a soft white cloth to wipe the wine glass.
Zhao Liangze pursed his lips and said politely, âMiss Bai, please donât take offense. That lady was just joking. Iâve already said that about her.â
He paused for a moment and said, âSheâs not my cousin.â
The blush on Bai Shuangâs face gradually faded. She whispered, âI know, Mr. Zhao. She was just joking with me.â
Zhao Liangze nodded and lowered her head. The curve of the back of her neck was incomparably beautiful, and there was still a faint blush on her ears. His heart moved, and he said with a smile, âBring us a few bottles of red wine.â
He asked her again, âHow much commission do you take?â
The salesgirls all took a certain percentage of the commission.
Bai Shuang composed herself and said, âFor the more expensive wines, Iâll take 15% . For the cheaper ones, itâs only 5% .â
She had only sold a few bottles of mid-priced red wine today, and the commission was less than 10% .
She still had to pay the boss some money, so she didnât get much.
The point was that she hadnât earned much in the past month.
Zhao Liangze smiled and said, âJust give us a few bottles of your 15% commission red wine. Itâs President Luâs treat anyway.â
He winked at her and went in with a smile.
Bai Shuang was stunned. She simply couldnât believe that she had such good luck. She hurriedly took a few bottles of the most expensive red wine she had on hand and went in.
Zhao Liangze was sitting next to a tall middle-aged man and was talking to him.
Bai Shuang recognized this person as Zhao Liangzeâs boss, Lu Yuan. He was known as President Lu.
âMr. Zhao, President Lu, these are the wines youâve ordered.â Bai Shuang carefully placed the two bottles of red wine on the coffee table in front of the two of them and looked at them nervously.
This was almost the same as forcibly buying and selling . Bai Shuang was very embarrassed.
But this little bit of money was just a drop in the bucket to them, right?
But to her, it was very important. It was the rent she had to pay, the food she had to buy, and her motherâs medical expenses.
Bai Shuang tried hard to control her shame.
Zhao Liangze and President Lu didnât care about these two bottles of wine.
They let Bai Shuang open it and take a sip. Then, they had someone leave it in the bar and drink it when they came in the future.
She basically sold two bottles of wine.
Just with these two bottles of wine, Bai Shuang could get a commission of 4,000 yuan.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
After paying 1,000 yuan, the remaining 3,000 yuan could be saved.
After Zhao Liangze and President Lu finished their conversation, they shook hands with their partner and agreed to sign the contract tomorrow.
âPresident Liu, you guys continue to play. Weâll be leaving first.â They stood up. âToday, weâre paying the bill. Everyone, enjoy yourselves.â
President Lu and Zhao Liangze walked out of the private room one after another.
Bai Shuang also followed them out.
Zhao Liangze turned around and saw her. He was a little surprised. âYouâre not going to continue selling red wine? The people inside will probably buy more. They can drink more than us.â
Bai Shuang shook her head uncomfortably and said in a low voice, â... Next, theyâre going to play dirty. Iâm not going to sit on the stage, and Iâm not going to appear. They wonât buy my wine.â
She sold less than others, but she refused to sit on the stage or make an appearance.
She graduated from a proper university and had her own clerical job during the day. She only used her rest time to sell red wine at night to earn some extra money to improve her familyâs life.
If it werenât for her motherâs sudden illness, Bai Shuang wouldnât have come here to sell red wine as a part-time job.
However, selling red wine was already her bottom line. She wouldnât sell herself.
Zhao Liangze replied with an âohâand looked at Bai Shuang again. He said mysteriously, âItâs very late. Are you hungry? Iâll treat you to a midnight snack.â
Bai Shuang shook her head. â... Iâm not hungry.â
âThen where do you live? Shall I send you back?â Zhao Liangze refused to give up.
President Lu, who was walking in front of him, turned around to look at him and smiled. âLittle Ze, Iâll be leaving first. See you tomorrow.â
Zhao Liangze chuckled and waved his hand. âSee you tomorrow, President Lu.â
Bai Shuangâs face turned even redder. âNo need. Iâve already called for a car.â
Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Zhao Liangze handed her his business card. âIâll be leaving then.â
..
After Gu Nianzhi came up from the fourth floor, she was in no hurry to return to her room. Instead, she went to find a restaurant to eat.
She ordered a bowl of rice with a stone pot and started eating with a slice of spicy and sour radish.
She hadnât even had two bites when she saw Bai Shuang walk over. She also ordered a bowl of rice with a stone pot and packed it away.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and waved at Bai Shuang. âMiss Bai, this way.â
Bai Shuang turned to see Gu Nianzhi and walked over with a takeout box. âYouâre here? I didnât see you just now. I thought Iâd never see you again.â
Gu Nianzhi giggled. âHow could I? Weâre fated to be together.â
Bai Shuang smiled. âMr. Zhao said youâre not his cousin.â
Gu Nianzhi bit the end of her chopsticks in embarrassment. âI was just joking. Donât take it to heart, Miss Bai.â
She gestured for Bai Shuang to sit down. âYou bought rice with a stone pot too? Come, letâs eat together.â
Bai Shuang shook her head. âThis is for my mother. My mother loves to eat this, but itâs been a long time since weâve had something so delicious.â
The stone pot rice at the Hilton Hotel restaurant was twice as expensive as that at other places, but Bai Shuangâs mother loved it.
Bai Shuang had earned some money today, so she decided to buy one for her mother to eat.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the rice in the stone pan in front of her and shrunk her neck.
She had thought it wasnât delicious and wanted to pour half of it out..
The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Bai Shuang asked for Gu Nianzhiâs name, and the two exchanged phone numbers before they left.
Gu Nianzhi finished her dinner and came out of the restaurant. She saw Zhao Liangze coming over.
âHey, little cousin, youâre here alone?â Zhao Liangze looked at her carefully and suddenly realized she wasnât a wine salesgirl.
Someone like Bai Shuang had to sell 100-year-old red wine to afford the watch on her wrist.
She was wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and cleats. Her clothes looked ordinary, but they were all designer.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Zhao Liangze had a girlfriend and was very displeased with him. She said calmly, âWho are you? Do I know you? Donât try to get close to me. Arenât you afraid that your girlfriend wonât be happy and wonât let you off?â
