The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 128 Su Gengsheng: Rose and I are together
What should I do if my loved one is always being thought of by others?
And I don’t have a suitable identity to drive away those competitors!
Su Gengsheng was very distressed, especially after seeing Zhuang Guodong.

I met Fang Xiewen last year and I met Zhuang Guodong this year.

Moreover, Zhuang Guodong is a partner of his own company, so it is destined to be more than just a simple meeting.

She, Su Gengsheng, would not ignore the cooperation just because of this so-called love rivalry.

Being able to work with Golan is a rare opportunity for Qing Ting, a "new official" who has been the general manager for only one year.

Of course, having the intention to cooperate is one thing, but whether or not to actually cooperate and how to cooperate are another.

Now in the office of General Manager Qing Ting, Su Gengsheng has been discussing cooperation matters with Zhuang Guodong in a businesslike manner.

"Mr. Zhuang, I need to study the information again. I need to prepare a budget and risk assessment report and send it to the head office to hear their feedback. Can we cooperate? I will reply to you next week."

Su Gengsheng's tone was calm and composed, without any inappropriate emotions mixed in just because Zhuang Guodong was his "love rival".

Zhuang Guodong nodded and said with a polite smile:

"I am really sincere. If Mr. Su feels that there is any problem with the conditions we offer, we can discuss it again."

"Okay, I'll give you an answer next week."

Giving a reply within ten days or even a week is actually quite efficient for a company like theirs, so both of them thought it was no problem.

Su Gengsheng thought about it and prepared to get up and see him off. Although Zhuang Guodong was in better condition than Fang Xiewen, she believed that her best friend would not go back to her ex.

However, Zhuang Guodong spoke directly.

"Boss Su, I came here this time because I have something else to ask you."

"..."

Su Gengsheng's eyes darkened, and he said, "If it's about Rose, I have nothing to say. You also know that she has resigned."

"I know, but you're her best friend."

Su Gengsheng frowned slightly. She had never been fond of her best friend's ex-boyfriend. Why was she pretending to be innocent after breaking up?
"Mr. Zhuang, you and Rose are a thing of the past. You are still thinking about getting her back now. Do you think you have achieved success and fame and have the confidence to return home in glory?"

Facing Su Gengsheng's ridicule, Zhuang Guodong did not get angry, and said with an unchanged expression:

"Mr. Su, you are Rose's friend. I can understand that you are protecting her. It was Rose who took the initiative to break up. I have maintained a friendship with her over the past few years, hoping to reconcile with her."

"What does this have to do with me?" Su Gengsheng said with a smile.

Zhuang Guodong thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Su, you and Rose are good friends. I'm sure you don't want Rose to be unhappy, right?"

"?"

Su Gengsheng clenched his fists. Why wasn't Rose happy?
Zhuang Guodong felt that what he said was correct. Fang Xiewen had nothing. Did Meigui have to suffer the grievance and help the poor?

Just like what he said to Fang Xiewen at the beginning, although roses can be eaten in both star-rated restaurants and roadside stalls, he has his own way of judging the high and low in his heart.

At this time, Su Gengsheng, who was a vegetarian, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and decided to send this disgusting man away as soon as possible, and said lightly:
"What do you want to know? Ask."

Although she and her bestie had not made that matter clear, they already had a tacit understanding. If Zhuang Guodong insisted on asking, she didn't mind telling him in advance.

Who made her so manly?
Zhuang Guodong's face lit up with joy, and then he said after a moment's silence:

"Rose and I are friends. She has always said that she has no plans for a relationship, so I was not in a hurry. But when I came back two days ago, I unexpectedly found out that she already has someone she likes."

At this point, Zhuang Guodong spoke in a low voice and decided to get straight to the point:
"If I go to her now and confront her, what will she choose?"

"?"

Su Gengsheng frowned, thinking that he and his best friend just had a tacit understanding, but they hadn't broken the window paper yet!
How did Zhuang Guodong know this? Did her best friend tell her in advance?
In this case, she decided not to pretend anymore.

"You have no chance. Rose won't choose you."

"Why? Do you think I'm not as good as Fang Xiewen? Can he bring happiness to Rose?"

"..."

The two people who had always been polite and courteous couldn't control themselves at the same time, and each had their own defense points.

The office was silent for a long time, and Zhuang Guodong spoke first:
"I'm sorry, I got a little emotional at the moment, but what I said was from the bottom of my heart."

Su Gengsheng nodded, picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip, and adjusted his mood.

It turns out that Zhuang Guodong has been looking for the wrong person!
That's right, Rose hasn't even had the chance to reveal her true colors to me yet, so how could she just tell everyone about it?

Thinking of this, Su Gengsheng looked at Zhuang Guodong in front of him and said with a smile:

"Actually, I wanted to say this when Mr. Zhuang mentioned giving Rose happiness. I don't know what your definition of happiness is. If it's based on financial ability, I think if Mr. Zhuang and Rose have been in contact, he would know about Rose's brother's current status and strength. She doesn't have to worry about this issue."

"..."

Zhuang Guodong was silent for a moment. Of course he knew about this matter. Not only had Rose briefly mentioned it to him, but when he was in Paris, he also heard his friend who worked in a securities company mention the name Red Leaf Capital.

But still, that sentence, what is Fang Xie’s diploma!
After Su Gengsheng saw that his rival was silenced by her, he decided to increase his output:
"If Mr. Zhuang feels that giving Rose happiness is to make her live happily, and that when her material conditions are met, her spiritual world can also be enriched, then I would like to say -"

Su Gengsheng paused, then said with a smile: "It would be nice for Rose to live with me!"

"..."

Zhuang Guodong opened his mouth. He didn't expect Su Gengsheng to say that. Could it be that Fang Xiewen had already been recognized by the other party?

"Boss Su, I don't know what Fang Xiewen did to make you say such words in order to bring them together, but I want to say that I have been waiting for Rose abroad for so many years, and my sincere love for her will not diminish in the slightest because of this."

With every holy moment, he missed Rose more and more, it was almost an obsession.

Su Gengsheng felt both angry and amused when he heard his love rival's declaration.

Match Fang Xiewen and Rose?

That's really a bold idea.

Seeing that the other party still looked serious, Su Gengsheng smiled and said:

"Mr. Zhuang, why bother? I've already told you that Rose and I are together, just believe it."

Seeing this, Zhuang Guodong frowned and stood up and said:
"Boss Su, let's stop here for today. I will go meet Rose and Fang Xiewen again about Rose's matter."

Su Gengsheng raised his eyebrows and stood up, saying, "Okay, I hope this incident won't affect our cooperation."

"Don't worry, public is public and private is private. I know the difference."

……

In mid-March, after much consideration, Zhuang Guodong decided to fly to Shanghai.

He had actually asked Huang Yimei about the relationship between her and Fang Xiewen on the phone before, and the answer he got was that Fang Xiewen was just her friend.

friend?

Zhuang Guodong actually hoped so, but he didn't quite believe it.

It can't be that Rose has fallen in love with another man again, right?
Zhuang Guodong was even more unconvinced.

He had said long ago that Rose was different from his mother!
March 3, Fudan.

In the afternoon, Huang Yimei had just finished class and walked out of the teaching building when Zhuang Guodong, dressed in a suit and tie, appeared in front of her.

"Rose, long time no see."

Seeing this, the two female classmates around Huang Yimei waved to her and left first.

"Zhuang Guodong, why are you here?"

Huang Yimei was a little surprised, but only slightly, because Zhuang Guodong had already told her the news when he came back.

Moreover, Su Su also told her about the other party's trip to Qing Ting.

But she didn't expect Zhuang Guodong to come to the school so soon.

Zhuang Guodong smiled and said, "I said I would come to see you when I got back, so of course I'm here now."

Huang Yimei nodded and then asked:
"How long have you been back? Are you going to have a meal or find a place to have a cup of coffee and chat?"

Zhuang Guodong had already eaten, and he really didn't have much appetite at this time, so he said:

"I've been back for over a week, let's go have some coffee."

It's not dark yet. We can finish our coffee and have dinner after it gets dark.

Zhuang Guodong felt that his idea was so clever!
The old place, the cafe in the school.

The former lovers, now friends, sat together drinking and chatting.

Although they often chatted online in the past, after all, they could not talk much through this method.

At the beginning, it was mostly Zhuang Guodong who spoke and Huang Yimei who listened.

Listen to Zhuang Guodong talk about his experiences abroad, his career abroad, etc.

If it were the Huang Yimei of the past, she would definitely be very interested in these things and even have some yearning for them, but the Huang Yimei of today just finds them interesting.

With her current financial resources, she can travel around the world at any time, but she just doesn't have the time.

Huang Yimei was even less interested in what Zhuang Guodong talked about at work or at business events, cocktail parties, or the like.

Not to mention that she had seen some things with Jiang Xueqiong in Qingting, and later she followed her brother Huang Zhenhua, and what she saw was far better than what Zhuang Guodong said.

It's not that Huang Zhenhua had to drag his sister to experience these things, but in some unimportant occasions, or when Shen Jiayi was not feeling well or had something to do, it would be most appropriate to drag his sister to fill in the gaps.

Anyway, my sister has always been keen on this kind of occasions.

Who really discusses important business at a cocktail party?

So what Zhuang Guodong said now was just a greeting between old friends to Huang Yimei.

In the evening, after the two chatted for a while, Zhuang Guodong finally couldn't hold back and asked the question in person:

"Rose, you and Fang Xiewen, are you really not together?"

Huang Yimei took a sip of coffee and said with a smile:

"I've already said that he and I are just friends."

Then he added: "I'm still in school. I said at the beginning that I didn't have any thoughts of falling in love for the time being."

Su Su also told her about this matter, so Huang Yimei knew that Zhuang Guodong had misunderstood something. Of course she had to clarify it, but she couldn't say that the person she loved was Su Gengsheng, right?
After hearing this, Zhuang Guodong seriously thought about this question for the first time. Is it true that there is nothing between Meigui and Fang Xiewen?
So he picked up the coffee and asked half-jokingly, "But why do I feel like you have someone you like?"

Huang Yimei, who has inherited her brother Huang Zhenhua's habit of telling the truth, also said honestly:
"You feel right."

"..."

Zhuang Guodong almost choked on the coffee he had just drunk when he heard this, and then put down the coffee and asked:
"who is it?"

"secret."

Huang Yimei said with a smile.

She also learned the old man's ability to leave things unsaid. Seeing Zhuang Guodong was dumbfounded, she added:
"This is my privacy, my friend."

"..."

Zhuang Guodong suddenly wondered whether his trip was worth it. It was good news to know that Rose was not with Fang Xiewen, but it was bad news to hear that Rose really had someone she liked.

'A rose will not deceive itself.'

Zhuang Guodong thought to himself, who is the person that Rose likes? Has he ever seen him?
Could it really be Su Gengsheng?

impossible!
Even though Zhuang Guodong was deeply influenced by the avant-garde ideas in France, he rejected this answer without even thinking about it.

I still say that - Rose is not that kind of person!

Who is the object of Rose's hidden admiration?

In March, it got dark very early. Just as the two were sitting in a cafe chatting, Fang Xiewen stood quietly outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the cafe, looking at the two people in the cafe, just like the scene when he saw Huang Zhenhua and Bai Xiaohe there.
