Chapter 457 - Hello, My Name Is Qin Zhi’ai (7)
Women’s intuition told her the person who got out of the car was someone she knew and had not seen for a long time.
She first saw a pair of shiny dress shoes. Then she noticed he did not wear socks. His ankles were fair and slender beneath his pant legs.
Qin Zhi’ai stared at his dress shoes, clutching her clothes, before finally lifting her eyes along his long, straight pants. Her eyes rested on his tie.
His suit was clean and sharp, and the dress pants and shoes made him look serious. Although she had not seen him for eight months, Qin Zhi’ai knew her intuition was right. He was Gu Yusheng.
Only he in this world could wear a suit in such a serious way.
Xiaowang closed the car door and walked two steps forward. He turned in Qin Zhi’ai’s direction and explained to Gu Yusheng, “Master Gu, this student has come to pick you up.” Xiaowang, struggling to get Qin Zhi’ai’s attention, had forgotten her name. “Hi. Miss?” he asked.
Qin Zhi’ai hastily moved her eyes away from Gu Yusheng’s tie. She took a deep breath and smiled politely before walking toward them.
“Hi, my last name is Wang, Master Gu’s driver.” Xiaowang passed his business card to Qin Zhi’ai and shook her hand before introducing Gu Yusheng, who had remained silent. “This is Master Gu, the CEO of the Gu Company. His name is Gu Yusheng. He will be giving a speech today.”
“Gu Yusheng.” When Qin Zhi’ai heard those words, her fingertips trembled. She calmed herself and reached her hand out to Gu Yusheng. With a steady voice, she said, “Hello, Professor Zhu asked me to come pick you up. My name is Qin Zhi’ai.”
Qin Zhi’ai… That sounds familiar. Have I heard that name before?
Gu Yusheng slightly frowned while trying to remember, but he could not place her. He watched the girl for a moment, with her head down, before he reached his hand out to shake hers.
The handshake was polite and less than a second, but the warmness from his fingers greatly affected Qin Zhi’ai.
She swallowed hard to recover before turning around and extending her arm to direct him to the entrance of the school. “Mr. Gu and Mr. Wang, please come in.”
As she talked and walked, she turned around with a smile and said, “There’s still some time left before the speech starts. May I offer the waiting room for a while?”
She pushed open the door to the room, where Mr. Gu and Xiaowang took a seat. She went to a side room to prepare tea.
As she boiled the water, Qin Zhi’ai opened her hands and looked at the fine beads of sweat covering her palms.
The water boiled quickly. Qin Zhi’ai made two cups of black tea. When she walked back to the waiting room, only Gu Yusheng was on the sofa.
