Ruan Qi sat next to Gu Jingting, with a teasing smile on the corner of his lips. After circling Murong Yuqing's body twice, he spoke lukewarmly.

"The lady sitting in the front row, you have bad eyesight and can't see the signs that prohibit smoking on the wall. You still regard the Gu Consortium as your back garden, and it doesn't matter, so you knowingly commit it."

Ruan Qi's words were very sharp and he did not show any mercy to Murong Yuqing. It has been a day or two for him to dislike Murong Yuqing.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Murong Yuqing. Murong Yuqing's face turned red and white, and her hands holding the cigarette were a little stiff.

She subconsciously looked up at Gu Jingting. Gu Jingting was talking to the project leader around her, with a serious and focused expression on her face. She seemed to have not noticed them at all.

But Murong Yuqing knew that Gu Jingting was from a special forces unit and looked around and listened to all directions. How could he not know that Ruan Qi was deliberately making things difficult for her?

He just doesn't want to worry about it.

Gu Jingting really didn't change at all, cold and decisive. After breaking up, they were completely strangers.

"Ms., you don't know how to hear it, you don't hear me. In order to avoid affecting the normal bidding, I can only ask the security guard to invite you out." Ruan Qi said bluntly.

Murong Yuqing couldn't hold back her breath and her expression was very embarrassing. Her assistant reacted quickly, and she grabbed the cigarette from her hand, stood up, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I didn't smoke in the conference room on purpose, I didn't notice the sign on the wall. I'll go out right away."

Although the assistant was talking lies with his eyes open, he successfully rescued Murong Yuqing.

After the assistant left, Murong Yuqing calmed down, lowered her head, and opened the bidding letter in her hand as if nothing had happened.

The bidding meeting went smoothly, and each company came to the stage to explain its respective plans.

Gu Jingting stood up and left halfway through the meeting. Obviously, he had already made a decision on which company to choose. The explanations of the remaining companies were actually meaningless.

Murong Yuqing's eyes were sharp-eyed. When she saw Gu Jingting leaving the conference room, she immediately followed her.

She walked quickly in the corridor outside the conference room, and her high heels fell on the black marble floor, making a monotonous and noisy sound.

Before Gu Jingting walked into the president's office, Murong Yuqing finally stopped him.

"Jing Ting." She called out his name and walked up to her with elegant steps.

Gu Jingting stopped and looked at her with a shallow look, his tone was polite but clearly alienated. "Is there anything?"

Murong Yuqing showed her eight standard teeth and smiled very elegantly. "I haven't seen you for so many years, can't I talk to you about the past?"

"It's working hours now." Gu Jingting spoke out to remind him.

"Young Master Gu Si is so clear about public and private affairs. So, please give me five minutes to talk about business, how about it?" Murong Yuqing said.

Gu Jingting hesitated for a moment before he invited her into the office. If he continued to turn her out, it would make people feel guilty.

Murong Yuqing followed Gu Jingting to the President's Office. This was the first time she entered the office core of the Gu Consortium in her lifetime.

When she was Gu Sishou's fiancée, Gu Jingting was not the leader of the Gu Consortium.

Her eyes swept through the huge and luxurious office, and then sat down on the sofa in the reception area. Although it was for business, she still politely greeted her.

"I heard you are married, so I haven't congratulated you yet."

"Thank you." Gu Jingting replied casually. He walked to the table of the senior class, sat down in the boss's chair, and reached out to turn on the laptop on the desktop.

Murong Yuqing didn't seem to mind his coldness and continued with a smile: "Your wife, I've watched the film and television drama starring her, a very cute girl."

Gu Jingting paused his movements of typing on the keyboard and said, "Fortunately, he is just a willful girl."

His tone was still faint, but Murong Yuqing sensitively noticed that when he mentioned his wife, a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

Murong Yuqing subconsciously recalled the years they had been together, and he seemed to have never looked at her with such a gentle and soft look.

Murong Yuqing suddenly felt a sourness in her heart. She habitually reached into her handbag, took out the cigarette and lighter, and skillfully lit a women's cigarette.

Gu Jingting just glanced at her hand holding a cigarette and said nothing.

Murong Yuqing was spitting smoke and chuckled, saying, "Smoking is not prohibited in Gu Si's office, right?"

"I remember you didn't smoke before." Gu Jingting said calmly.

"In the past?" Murong Yuqing bent the corners of her lips, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corners of her lips, "People always change."

In the past, she was his fiancée. He was just the unpopular son of the Gu family. Times have changed, and he took charge of the Gu family's consortium. They were strangers. When she saw him, she had to go through one security check after another at the main entrance of the company.

"Actually, I really want to attract your attention when I smoke in the conference room today. In today's occasion, President Gu pays more attention to me and I will have more chances of winning. To be honest, this case is very important to me."

Gu Jingting pursed his thin lips slightly, his deep eyes were thoughtful. Murong Yuqing's too frank confession made him feel a little speechless.

"You won't refuse to adopt my plan to avoid suspicion." Murong Yuqing smiled and joked.

"I have always been clear about public and private affairs." Gu Jingting replied, "But I am frank, your plan is good, but your company's qualifications do not agree with the bidding requirements. The investment in this project is not small, and I don't want any omissions."

Gu Jingting's attitude of doing business made Murong Yuqing embarrassed again.

"So, our company is just running with us this time?" Murong Yuqing laughed.

In fact, she is self-aware. The company she works in has almost no chance of winning this bid. The total investment of the renovation project in the old city is more than one billion yuan, which is not something that a small company with a registered capital of 10 million yuan can swallow. Moreover, their company has neither a tough backstage nor strong strength.

However, her boss always thinks about swallowing an elephant by snakes and keeps putting pressure on her. Murong Yuqing herself also needs commissions for this case to solve the financial pressure of her family.

Gu Jingting looked at her with a plain attitude and a calm tone. "If you have to say that, I have no way to refute it. According to you, except for the winning company, other alternative companies are all running with you."

Murong Yuqing was speechless again.

At this time, the door of the president's office was suddenly knocked out from outside. Ruan Qi pushed open the door and walked in staggeringly.

"Oh, this tender will be over and someone will come to the back door."
