"Mr. Tang is overpraising me." Gu Ming smiled slightly at Tang Ming.
"This is no exaggeration, Miss Gu and Mr. Qin's performance today was indeed astonishing." Tang Ming raised his wine glass towards Gu Cai and Qin Sheng: "Congratulations to you both."
Gu Mian and Qin Sheng naturally raised their wine cups to accept Tang Ming's congratulations.
Actually, Gu Mei's vigilance towards Tang Ming was not very deep at first. One reason was that Tang Ming's behavior towards Zhou Tao at the time made her feel somewhat inappropriate. The second reason was that she knew Tang Ming and Qiao Qingya seemed to be quite familiar with each other, and also knew Du Hao, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable. Later on, the main reason why she became more vigilant towards Tang Ming was actually because of her momentary mistake, which exposed the Starlight Blue Sapphire incident.
It's been a while since the Starlight Blue Sapphire incident, and the outside world has already forgotten about it. Tang Ming, who had initially made Gu Mian feel uneasy, didn't make any other moves, which actually put Gu Mian at ease.
Coupled with her good mood today, she couldn't help but show a more genuine smile on Tang Ming's face than usual.
Her smile suddenly became a few points more genuine, which made Tang Ming somewhat unaccustomed to it, and he couldn't help but secretly think about what he had done recently, wondering if there was something that had caught Gu Mian's eye.
Now that the formalities are over, we can finally have a good meal. Gu Mian has always been straightforward in her dealings, and since Robert had already let Tang Ming sit down, she didn't think it was necessary to avoid him regarding the prize either, so she directly placed the box containing the ring on
Robert opened the box and nodded in satisfaction: "I keep my promises, Miss Gu. If you have any needs, feel free to find me anytime. If you want to develop further in Y, I will also support you."
"Thank you, but not needed for now." Gu Mian didn't reject it outright. Although she said that she currently had no intention of developing in that direction, having one more option was always good, and there was no need to push it away directly.
As for Qin Sheng, he was naturally satisfied with the result, but he also had a good sense of occasion and knew that this was not the right time to talk in detail, so after mentioning it briefly, he didn't say anything more.
It was still the first time for the four of them to sit at a table and have dinner together, and the atmosphere was much better than they had imagined.
Robert booked a very famous French restaurant. Even if the customer, Gu Miao, didn't like to eat Western food, he had to admit that the chef's skills were indeed good.
After a meal, the host and guest were satisfied. Gu Ming and Qin Shengyuan declined Tang Ming's proposal to relax for a while and returned to the hotel on the grounds that there was still a celebration banquet in the evening.
The excitement of the day had really passed. On the way back, they yawned several times and after returning to the hotel, they each went back to their rooms to rest.
Unfortunately, Gu Meng wanted to go back to his room and rest as soon as possible, but it didn't come true. Not long after he returned to his room, someone came knocking on the door.
"What's wrong?" Opening the door and taking a look, the person who came knocking on the door was unexpectedly Wang Juan.
At this time, Wang Juan had already lost her usual arrogance and her eyes were red as if she had been wronged.
Gu Meng looked at Wang Juan, who had become a rabbit-eyed girl, and couldn't help but mutter to herself in her heart. This guy must have lost the game and was stimulated so much that he's now crying with grievance!
But we are all adults now. Who cries after losing a game? Even if you do cry, you should hide in a place where no one can see you and make sure no one finds out afterwards.
Wang Juan glared at Gu Mian and without saying another word, she rushed towards Gu Mian's room.
Gu Mei hastily reached out to stop her: "Wang Juan, if there's nothing urgent to discuss here, it would be better. I'm a bit tired after a morning of work and want to rest."
A person's room is their own private space, they can allow people they agree with to enter. As for others, no thanks, her room isn't a marketplace. Where's the logic in letting anyone in casually?
Moreover, looking at Wang Juan's attitude, she is clearly up to no good. She doesn't need to be overly accommodating.
"You got first place, you're pleased, aren't you? You're happy, aren't you!" Wang Juan heard that Gu Mian wouldn't let her into the room, and the fire in her heart grew even stronger. As soon as she opened her mouth, her tone was already bursting with anger.
Gu Mei wasn't a pushover either. Normally, she would just ignore Wang Juan's provocations, considering they worked in the same unit and despite some disagreements, they still had to maintain a working relationship, no need to make things too awkward.
But Wang Juan said such a thing to her without thinking, if she still doesn't react at all, then she's really a typical baozi, and it's the kind that has been bullied but won't make a sound.
"That's a strange thing to say, I got first place with my own abilities, why can't I be happy?" Gu Mei stood up straight and stared at Wang Juan: "Shouldn't I be crying with my head in my hands instead?"
She didn't say that she was proud of herself, a little pride in her heart is enough, there's no need to show off too much, after all it's just the first place in an exchange meeting competition. If she really shows off too much, people who see her will think that she is not steady and arrogant.
"What's there to be proud of, it's just luck! You only got first place by relying on some bold guesses. What's there to be proud of? If we really talk about real ability, who knows what the outcome would be!" Wang Juan heard Gu Mei's retort and was even more furious.
She wasn't supposed to be this excited, after all she had endured the results without a fuss, just putting on an unattractive face, and shouldn't have made a scene at this time.
After lunch, wherever I went, I heard people talking about today's game. As for Gu Xiang, who came in first place, they couldn't stop praising him, and many were asking what his background was.
Listening to their words, as the third place winner, she naturally felt uncomfortable and sulked in a corner of the rest room.
Not long after she sat down, she had planned to go back to her room and sleep, since she hadn't slept well the night before. But then, as if by coincidence, someone mentioned her name again.
It was none other than Professor Guan's assistant who mentioned her name.
If Professor Guan's assistant had only spoken kindly, it would have been one thing, but instead he was gossiping about her, and his words were laced with malice. He said that not only did she lose the competition, but she also made a fool of herself, especially during the awards ceremony when she gazed longingly at the first prize won by Guan De, her eyes blazing with envy, compared to Bill Green who came in second, the difference was more than just a little.
But that's not all, Professor Guan's assistant continued to chat with a familiar person next to him, saying that Wang Juan and Gu Mian were not on the same page. He said that anyone with eyes could see that Wang Juan was jealous of Gu Mian, and had always loved to say behind her back that Gu Mian came in through the back door and didn't have any real skills. This time she lost the competition to Gu Mian and was thoroughly humiliated.
Wang Juan, a woman who originally had no temper, couldn't help but lose her patience when she heard this, and immediately got angry. She restrained herself with all her might to prevent herself from rushing out and scolding Professor Guan's assistant severely.
After returning to her room, she became more and more angry, attributing all her dissatisfaction to Gu Mei. She also remembered that Professor Wang had refused to let her be his assistant in the past, probably because of Gu Mei's influence. Now, old and new resentments together finally made her unable to hold back.
She had come over to find Gu Mian several times before, but no one answered the door after knocking. Now that Gu Mian finally opened the door, how could she let it go?
"Wang Juan, this is really ridiculous. If I didn't have real skills, could I have gotten first place? Is this overestimating me or underestimating others?" Gu Mian couldn't help but laugh at Wang Juan's words, thinking that she had completely lost her mind and wasn't even afraid of offending everyone else.
"You don't need to make excuses, who doesn't know that you came in through Professor Wang's connections? Mr. Qiao and Professor Wang have a good relationship, and Old Xue is Mr. Qiao's teacher, who knows if you got some inside information from them?" Wang Juan snorted, continuing: "You can stop pretending too, I know you've always looked down on me, thinking I stole your spot for the conversion exam. You don't even think about your own qualifications, this exam spot wouldn't have fallen to you even if it rotated!"
Wang Juan was already furious, and her brain was muddled. She would bite whoever she could get her hands on. Not only did she scold Gu Mian, but she also dragged in Professor Wang, Mr. Qiao, and Old Man Xue.
"Wang Juan, please be careful with your words. Without evidence, how can you randomly talk about things? You said it's nothing to worry about, but you shouldn't casually drag others down. You like to take shortcuts and rely on connections, don't assume everyone is the same as you. Professor Wang is my teacher, he carefully cultivated me because he thought I had potential. What you're saying are all baseless rumors. Director Xue has always been fair and strict, this is an industry-recognized fact, some words you'd better think twice before speaking."
"What I dislike the most is your attitude, as if everything is rightfully yours. Professor Wang is so supportive of you, and I think there's probably something improper going on between you two. Otherwise, why would he take you everywhere he goes and always consider you for benefits?"
"Shut up!" Just as Wang Juan was getting into the swing of things, a sudden loud shout came from beside her, interrupting her chatter.
