Chapter 1494: Fate Has Brought Us Together
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 Nianzhi’s mind raced, and a reason came naturally to her. “... Someone knows you and showed me your photo.”
“Who is it? Is it someone I know?” 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. “Don’t go out. You just hit someone and caused trouble. That person’s family is quite powerful...”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and waved her hand. “It’s okay. That person won’t say I hit him.”
“Why wouldn’t he? Do you think he’s that kind?” Bai Shuang pouted. “That person is the most lecherous, and his family is rich. Even his sisters in the hotel don’t dare to offend him. Who knows how many people he’s taken advantage of.”
Gu Nianzhi opened the door of the private room a little more and said, “Listen for yourself.”
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, “Officer, 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!”
Bai Shuang: “...”
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, “This kind of son of a b*tch bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. He also wants face. He won’t give me up.”
“Think 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?”
“So the person who beat him must be a 1.9-meter-tall, strong man!”
Gu Nianzhi puffed out her chest. “A 1.9-meter-tall, strong man is here. What do you think, miss?”
Bai Shuang giggled at her teasing and pinched Gu Nianzhi’s face. “You’re so smart and eloquent.”
Gu Nianzhi also touched Bai Shuang’s face and smiled. “You flatter me.”
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 couldn’t 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 hadn’t expected Bai Shuang to be the wine hostess of the hotel.
Bai Shuang had been burdened by her father and hadn’t 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 Nianzhi’s eyes and asked her in puzzlement, “Who showed you my photo? Maybe I know him.”
Gu Nianzhi sighed in her heart and casually said, “You guys know each other. It’s Brother Ze.”
“Little... Ze?” Bai Shuang’s expression turned strange. “What’s his full name?”
“Zhao Liangze. His name is Zhao Liangze. I call him Brother Ze.” 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 Shuang’s beautiful face was actually blushing.
Gu Nianzhi was puzzled. She couldn’t understand why she was blushing.
At that moment, Bai Shuang moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, “This Zhao Liangze you’re talking about, this Brother Ze, who is he to you?”
Gu Nianzhi was stunned. She didn’t understand what was going on.
However, seeing Bai Shuang’s hopeful expression, and thinking about how Bai Shuang had died tragically in Zhao Liangze’s 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 Shuang’s hand and said word by word, “Brother 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.”
“Huh?!” Bai Shuang had never expected the girl to say something like that. She was shocked. “Mr. ... Mr. Zhao is your cousin?!”
“Mr. Zhao?” Gu Nianzhi’s 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, “Little Ze, your cousin is here.”
Gu Nianzhi’s lips twitched.
It couldn’t 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 didn’t 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. “Brother Ze?!”
Her heart jumping with joy, she couldn’t 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. “Little cousin? Long time no see.”
He lifted Gu Nianzhi’s arm, opened the door with one hand, and dragged her out of the room.
Gu Nianzhi’s heart pounded. She really hoped that this person was Zhao Liangze.
But from the strength of the man’s grip on her arm, Gu Nianzhi realized with regret that she was overthinking things.
This Zhao Liangze wasn’t Brother Ze from the Special Operations Forces.
Zhao Liangze was here today with his boss, President Lu, to discuss business. He hadn’t expected that in the blink of an eye, he would not only have a “little cousin”, but also a “lover” who “loved her dearly”.
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 couldn’t help but wonder in his heart: Did he really have such a beautiful little cousin?
Why didn’t 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 didn’t 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 hadn’t paid much attention to it. He had only thought that the girl had a special interest in the “assasin” 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 weren’t 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.
“Young lady, are you new here? Are you also a hostess here?”
Gu Nianzhi: “...”
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.
“This incident has taught you to be honest and not to lie. See how embarrassing it is to be exposed in front of others when you’re lying?” Zhao Liangze patted Gu Nianzhi’s head calmly, “Go back and explain to Miss Bai that you’re talking nonsense. I don’t love her very much. Your joke is too big. If my girlfriend hears it, she’ll never let you off the hook.”
Gu Nianzhi was instantly very disappointed. “You have a girlfriend?”
Zhao Liangze actually didn’t have a girlfriend, but he didn’t want to tell this girl that he didn’t have a girlfriend. What did it have to do with her?
Was there a reason to start a rumor? !
“Yes.” He became cold. “That’s all I have to say. If you don’t tell her, I’ll tell her myself.”
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 Liangze’s heart softened.
“Don’t cry...” Zhao Liangze’s tone softened. “I just told you not to lie... I didn’t mean anything by it...”
Her lips shriveling even more, Gu Nianzhi continued to look at him.
Zhao Liangze couldn’t take it anymore. He waved his hand and furrowed his brows. “Forget it, forget it. We’re not close anyway. Just pretend I didn’t hear you. Don’t say that again.”
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, “Miss Bai, please don’t take offense. That lady was just joking. I’ve already said that about her.”
He paused for a moment and said, “She’s not my cousin.”
The blush on Bai Shuang’s face gradually faded. She whispered, “I know, Mr. Zhao. She was just joking with me.”
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, “Bring us a few bottles of red wine.”
He asked her again, “How much commission do you take?”
The salesgirls all took a certain percentage of the commission.
Bai Shuang composed herself and said, “For the more expensive wines, I’ll take 15% . For the cheaper ones, it’s only 5% .”
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 didn’t get much.
The point was that she hadn’t earned much in the past month.
Zhao Liangze smiled and said, “Just give us a few bottles of your 15% commission red wine. It’s President Lu’s treat anyway.”
He winked at her and went in with a smile.
Bai Shuang was stunned. She simply couldn’t 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 Liangze’s boss, Lu Yuan. He was known as President Lu.
“Mr. Zhao, President Lu, these are the wines you’ve ordered.” 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 mother’s medical expenses.
Bai Shuang tried hard to control her shame.
Zhao Liangze and President Lu didn’t 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.
“President Liu, you guys continue to play. We’ll be leaving first.” They stood up. “Today, we’re paying the bill. Everyone, enjoy yourselves.”
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. “You’re not going to continue selling red wine? The people inside will probably buy more. They can drink more than us.”
Bai Shuang shook her head uncomfortably and said in a low voice, “... Next, they’re going to play dirty. I’m not going to sit on the stage, and I’m not going to appear. They won’t buy my wine.”
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 family’s life.
If it weren’t for her mother’s sudden illness, Bai Shuang wouldn’t have come here to sell red wine as a part-time job.
However, selling red wine was already her bottom line. She wouldn’t sell herself.
Zhao Liangze replied with an “oh”and looked at Bai Shuang again. He said mysteriously, “It’s very late. Are you hungry? I’ll treat you to a midnight snack.”
Bai Shuang shook her head. “... I’m not hungry.”
“Then where do you live? Shall I send you back?” Zhao Liangze refused to give up.
President Lu, who was walking in front of him, turned around to look at him and smiled. “Little Ze, I’ll be leaving first. See you tomorrow.”
Zhao Liangze chuckled and waved his hand. “See you tomorrow, President Lu.”
Bai Shuang’s face turned even redder. “No need. I’ve already called for a car.”
Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Zhao Liangze handed her his business card. “I’ll be leaving then.”
..
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 hadn’t 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. “Miss Bai, this way.”
Bai Shuang turned to see Gu Nianzhi and walked over with a takeout box. “You’re here? I didn’t see you just now. I thought I’d never see you again.”
Gu Nianzhi giggled. “How could I? We’re fated to be together.”
Bai Shuang smiled. “Mr. Zhao said you’re not his cousin.”
Gu Nianzhi bit the end of her chopsticks in embarrassment. “I was just joking. Don’t take it to heart, Miss Bai.”
She gestured for Bai Shuang to sit down. “You bought rice with a stone pot too? Come, let’s eat together.”
Bai Shuang shook her head. “This is for my mother. My mother loves to eat this, but it’s been a long time since we’ve had something so delicious.”
The stone pot rice at the Hilton Hotel restaurant was twice as expensive as that at other places, but Bai Shuang’s 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 wasn’t delicious and wanted to pour half of it out..
The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Bai Shuang asked for Gu Nianzhi’s 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.
“Hey, little cousin, you’re here alone?” Zhao Liangze looked at her carefully and suddenly realized she wasn’t 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, “Who are you? Do I know you? Don’t try to get close to me. Aren’t you afraid that your girlfriend won’t be happy and won’t let you off?”
