In the banquet hall, Bureau Chief Chen from the Construction Bureau was already walking towards them. Before Anhao could even walk to Zuo Hancheng’s side, Bureau Chief Chen had already come forward to shake hands with Zuo Hancheng with a polite smile.
Anhao slowed down her pace and didn’t rush over to avoid disturbing their serious discussion. However, she could still hear their conversation from the side.
First, they talked about how the reconstruction project of the gymnasium and cultural center had been going well so far. Then, they talked about how the leaders of Beijing were very concerned about the reconstruction project of A City in the past two years. They thanked Zuo Hancheng for his cooperation with the government and said that they would continue to work together in the future.
However, Zuo Han had always replied in a calm manner. He was polite, not overly warm, but not overly cold. It was just a simple conversation between a businessman and a politician.
Anhao heard that they were almost done chatting and was about to walk to Zuo Hancheng’s side when she suddenly heard Chief Chen say,””Xiao Bai already told you, right? This weekend, we specially invited President Zuo and several leaders who participated in the reconstruction project. Everyone will have a meal together, and it won’t take up much of President Zuo’s time.”
Anhao stopped in her tracks when she heard Chief Chen call Bai Weiwei Xiao Bai. Chief Chen said directly,””We know that President Zuo and Xiao Bai have a good relationship. We were worried that President Zuo’s schedule was too full and he didn’t have time to go, so we specially asked Xiao Bai to invite you.”
“Deputy Director Bai has indeed told me about this.”Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly as he looked back at Anhao, signaling her to go over.
Anhao walked over, and Zuo Hancheng took her hand. When she got close to him, he turned to look at Bureau Chief Chen, who had a slightly different look in his eyes.”Chief Chen, if you don’t mind, I’ll bring my wife along. I wonder if I’ll cause trouble?”
Bureau Chief Chen looked at Anhao in surprise again. It took him a long time to digest Zuo Hancheng’s words. Then, he asked in surprise,””Bringing his wife? This is Mrs. Zuo?”
“Hello,” Since Zuo Hancheng had already introduced her to the bureau chief, Anhao naturally would not show any fear. She smiled and nodded at Bureau Chief Chen.” I’m Gu Anhao, the chief designer of the stadium and cultural center renovation project. I’m also Zuo Hancheng’s wife. Thanks to the high regard of all the leaders, I have the opportunity to make a contribution to the province and the city. It’s not the first time I’ve met Chief Chen, but I still have to thank Chief Chen for giving me this opportunity.”
“Gu Anhao? Chief designer: Chief Chen looked at her and was even more surprised.”So it’s you? After the interview, the people below showed me a few works that they were particularly satisfied with. Among them, there was a rather good design and proposal that was written by you?”
Anhao smiled again.” Then it seems that Bureau Chief Chen and I are not strangers anymore.””
Zuo Hancheng was satisfied with Anhao’s sudden calm and generous attitude. He stood aside and let her do whatever she wanted. Bureau Chief Chen looked at Zuo Hancheng and said,””So Miss Gu is Mrs. Zuo? When did Mr. Zuo get married? We didn’t even know.”
“It was many years ago. My wife is interested in architectural design, so she has been studying abroad for the past few years. I didn’t find a suitable opportunity to introduce her to Chief Chen, so it’s not too late to introduce her now.”Zuo Hancheng said as he looked at Anhao.””Director Chen was the one who first decided on your audition. He’s seen your information and photos, so it’s indeed not the first time we’ve met.”
“Then, thank you, Chief Chen.” Anhao smiled politely again as she looked at Director Chen, who was smiling awkwardly.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she could tell that Chief Chen seemed to have the intention of matchmaking Zuo Hancheng and Bai Weiwei, she would not have reacted in such a way when Zuo Hancheng introduced her to Chief Chen. However, in front of a strong enemy, Gu Anhao had never had the habit of retreating.
Bai Weiwei and Xiao Qiu were different. One was a strong enemy that would be difficult to deal with if they were to fight, while the other was a completely insignificant character. Therefore, their attitudes towards each other were naturally different.
“So President Zuo is married.”Bureau Chief Chen smiled at Anhao and said in a low voice,””I’ve always thought that President Zuo hasn’t married yet, and you’re in your early thirties, which is the right age for marriage. I originally planned to introduce you to someone, but now it seems that I’ve gone overboard. I hope President Zuo and Mrs. Zuo don’t mind.”
Anhao smiled.” Of course I don’t mind. I’ve been studying abroad for so many years, and I’ve never officially accompanied my husband to any public events. Almost no one knows about my existence, but I think there will be more opportunities like this in the future. In two days, I’ll go to the banquet organized by your bureau. I hope I won’t disturb Chief Chen.”
“How could that be? President Zuo and Mrs. Zuo have graced us with your presence. Our humble house has been brightened. Mrs. Zuo is so generous and she is definitely a good wife. President Zuo’s taste in choosing a wife is really high.”
Chief Chen smiled and chatted with Zuo Hancheng for a while. Finally, when someone came to talk to Chief Chen, he excused himself and left.
After Chief Chen left, the smile in Anhao’s eyes gradually faded. Suddenly, she felt a sharp gaze beside her. She immediately turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was looking at her.
“What are you looking at? Are you unhappy that I blocked your peach blossom?”Anhao knew that it was Zuo Hancheng who had officially introduced her to the other party, but when she thought about the fact that the director was actually planning to matchmake Zuo Hancheng and Bai Weiwei, she felt a little jealous.
“Why are you suddenly so proactive?” Zuo Hancheng asked with a smile. It was as if I could see the young and energetic Gu Anhao who had fought with Rong Xue back then.”
Anhao snorted and said,” I heard Chief Chen talking about Bai Weiwei. I know that Bai Weiwei has a powerful background. She’s also the Miss Bai who’s doted on by thousands of colleagues in the Construction Bureau. I also know that if he gets the chance to matchmake you two, what am I?””
Zuo Hancheng chuckled. He seemed to be very satisfied with her angry expression. He was extremely satisfied.
“Your attitude in front of Chief Chen is worthy of praise. Now, you are indeed worthy of the words ‘magnanimous’. Mrs. Zuo, congratulations on finding your true position.”
Hearing Zuo Hancheng’s words, Anhao could vaguely hear a hint of smugness in his voice. She immediately glanced at him and said,””They invited you to a dinner party. Could it be that they were planning to expose the ‘ambiguous’ relationship between you and Bai Weiwei that day and then set you up? Could it be that the Construction Bureau and Shengling Group could have a marriage alliance?”
Zuo Hancheng curled his lips and said in a clear and calm voice,”More or less.”
