Scheming White lotus (8): Love is indeed the enemy of career!

Zhou Qinghao had lunch at Gu Juntian’s place, and then returned to his office to work with great energy.

In the afternoon, he had a burst of inspiration and came up with several designs at once. Of course, these designs still needed to be modified later.

When Huo Pinghai saw Zhou Qinghao’s smiling face, he couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart.

Because he said bad things about Zhou Qinghao in the office, he was severely criticized by his manager!

After that, his colleagues in the design department started to exclude him and refused to speak to him except for necessary communication at work!

He was not popular in the design department, but what about Zhou Qinghao? He was now a popular figure in the design department, and everyone praised him!

Zhou Qinghao was just a country bumpkin who gained Mr. Gu’s favor by pretending to be so rich. He really thought he was so rich!

If Mr. Gu knew his true face, he would definitely break up with him and kick him out!

Huo Pinghai was Zhou Qinghao’s colleague. He still rememberd what Zhou Qinghao looked like when he first came to the company.

At that time, Zhou Qinghao was covered in dust and looked like someone from the countryside.

Later, probably in order to hook up with Mr. Gu, Zhou Qinghao started to dress up and his way of speaking also changed.

But a pheasant cannot turn into a phoenix, and Zhou Qinghao cannot change his nature.

He would be abandoned by Mr. Gu long ago!

Thinking of this, Huo Pinghai opened Cheng Mingyan’s dialogue box and started chatting with Cheng Mingyan.

Huo Pinghai spent the entire afternoon saying bad things about Zhou Qinghao to Cheng Mingyan. When it was almost time to get off work, he realized that he had not done any work.

At this time, Secretary Zhang came to the design department and handed Zhou Qinghao an insulated lunch box: “Zhou Qinghao, President Gu asked me to bring you food!”

Zhou Qinghao couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard that.

Seeing this, colleagues in the company were a little curious. One female colleague asked, “Zhou Qinghao, why is president Gu still sending you food?”

Zhou Qinghao complained with a smile: “I went for a physical examination and the doctor said I was a little anemic. Juntian got worried and insisted on bringing me food.”

Colleagues were envious: “Zhou Qinghao, President Gu is so nice to you!”

“Before, Cheng Mingyan brought food to Mr. Gu, but he never ate. But now he brings food to you instead… Mr. Gu truly loves you.”

“Zhou Qinghao, if you become rich and powerful, please don’t forget me!”

……

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and Zhou Qinghao was even happier.

When he left work with his insulated lunch box, the smile on his face was too bright, and he couldn’t get rid of it.

The couple who shared a house ate instant noodles that they cooked themselves today, and put eggs and vegetables in it.

Zhou Qinghao used to envy them.

This young couple lived their life seriously, saved money seriously, and worked together for their future. That was his dream life.

What they ate every day may not be very good for some people, but it was very rich for him.

But now…

Zhou Qinghao looked at the insulated lunch box in his arms, feeling happy.

His room was very small and there was not even a table. Zhou Qinghao did not take the lunch box back to the room, but sat at the head of the dining table and opened it.

This insulated lunch box was very large and heavy. After opening it, he took out five bowls one after another.

The largest bowl contained pork ribs and radish soup, a separate small bowl contained a piece of sweet and sour fish on one side and a piece of roast lamb on the other, two bowls of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of white rice.

It was not a big amount, but it was really rich!

The young couple sitting at the other end of the table were stunned!

Zhou Qinghao smiled at them reservedly: “My partner insisted on bringing me meals and did so much for me, and he didn’t even think it was a bother…”

Young couple: “…” Their instant noodles didn’t smell good anymore!

Zhou Qinghao was very satisfied with the meal, but Cheng Mingyan from the Cheng family couldn’t eat.

He was very upset when he learned from Huo Pinghai that Gu Juntian had someone send food to Zhou Qinghao.

During this period, Cheng Mingyan had a very difficult time.

He returned home after leaving Gu’s last week.

At first, he was angry and did not go to Gu’s house to find Gu Juntian, but waited for Gu Juntian to come to him.

As a result, not only did Gu Juntian not come to see him, he also forbade him to enter Gu’s house again!

He couldn’t go in and out of the Gu family’s home, nor could he enter the Gu company, so his contact with Gu Juntian was completely cut off.

That would be fine, but his friends also found out that Zhou Qinghao was an ungrateful, vain, and scheming bastard. Not only did he curse and fight, he also didn’t care about the life and death of his second uncle who raised him…

The person Gu Juntian liked was actually such a person!

He was actually defeated by such a person!

Cheng Mingyan was extremely hateful and in great pain.

He felt that his friend was right. Zhou Qinghao didn’t really like Gu Juntian at all. This man approached Gu Juntian for money!

He couldn’t let Gu Juntian be deceived by Zhou Qinghao!

Gu didn’t start work until nine o’clock, but Zhou Qinghao arrived at the company at eight o’clock.

As soon as he arrived at the company, someone brought an insulated lunch box full of breakfast to replace his empty insulated lunch box from last night.

He ate lunch with Gu Juntian at noon, and in the evening, Secretary Zhang brought him an insulated lunch box.

Zhou Qinghao felt that if he continued to eat like this, he would definitely get fat.

He remembered that Gu Juntian liked thin people… Would Gu Juntian dislike him after he gained weight?

But this was the meal that Gu Juntian had prepared for him. It was the first time someone cared about him so much since his parents passed away, and he couldn’t bear to not eat it.

What a sweet burden.

After work that day, Zhou Qinghao walked back to his residence carrying his insulated lunch box as usual.

The place he rented was relatively close to Gu’s, but it took more than half an hour to walk there.

He usually walked back and forth. Walking stimulated his brain and gave him all kinds of inspiration.

The most important thing was that taxis were not cheap, and he would rather use the money to buy food.

After receiving the transfer from Gu Juntian, he no longer lacked money, but he still walked back and forth in order to increase his exercise.

Not long after walking out, Zhou Qinghao met Cheng Mingyan.

After not seeing him for a few days, Cheng Mingyan hadn’t changed much. He held his chin up, still looking proud.

When he saw Cheng Mingyan, the smile on Zhou Qinghao’s face disappeared unconsciously.

He had dealt with Cheng Mingyan several times and was very disgusted with this man who was competing with him for Juntian.

At this moment, Cheng Mingyan spoke first: “Zhou Qinghao, you are very proud of having driven me out of Gu’s family?”

Zhou Qinghao didn’t say anything.

Cheng Mingyan said again: “Even if you drive me out of the Gu family, what does it matter? Brother Gu and I live in the same community, and Grandpa Gu likes me very much. I can still get along with Brother Gu! Zhou Qinghao, Grandpa Gu will not let Brother Gu marry you. In the future, the one who will marry Brother Gu will only be me.”

Zhou Qinghao took a deep breath, unable to suppress the panic in his heart.

Before, when he was dating Gu Juntian, Cheng Mingyan used Old man Gu as an excuse to call Gu Juntian back.

Moreover, although Gu Juntian said that he didn’t like Cheng Mingyan, if Cheng Mingyan really got into trouble, Gu Juntian would still help and rush to deal with it.

Gu Juntian and Cheng Mingyan live in the same circle and were actually very familiar with each other.

Grandpa Gu also arranged a marriage between Gu Juntian and Cheng Mingyan, and in order not to upset Grandpa Gu, Gu Juntian acquiesced to the marriage.

Zhou Qinghao felt short of breath when thinking about the past.

He was miserable then, and now he was even more miserable than before.

During this time, he loved Gu Juntian more and more, and he could not accept that Gu Juntian was taken away by someone else.

“Even if you frame me and drive me out of Gu’s, so what? When I marry Juntian in the future, I can also drive you out of Gu’s!” Cheng Mingyan sneered.

Zhou Qinghao could no longer suppress the pain and anger in his heart: “Cheng Mingyan, you wish! Brother Juntian only likes me and doesn’t care about you at all, so he won’t marry you! Cheng Mingyan, in Brother Juntian’s eyes, you are just a shameless mistress who keeps pestering him. You don’t know how much he hates you!”

Cheng Mingyan looked unhappy.

Zhou Qinghao was happy in his heart, and said, “Cheng Mingyan, have you never seen a man in your eight lifetimes? Otherwise, why would you be horny for other people’s men all day long? If I were your father, I would have shot you against the wall to prevent you from bringing shame to the Cheng family.”

Zhou Qinghao grew up in the streets. If he really wanted to scold someone, he could do it for an hour without repeating himself.

However, Cheng Mingyan’s psychological endurance was not very good, so he did not swear too badly.

Cheng Mingyan really couldn’t stand it and was shaking with anger: “You…you…”

“Cheng Mingyan, you are a mistress, why do you look down on me? I won’t rush to be a mistress!” If Gu Juntian had a boyfriend, no matter how much he liked Gu Juntian, he would not have anything to do with Gu Juntian: “Cheng Mingyan, what else can you do except using Gu Juntian’s grandfather to put pressure on others? You say all day long how much Grandpa Gu likes you, don’t you really want to be Gu Juntian’s grandmother? Then I don’t mind following him and calling you grandma!”

“Zhou Qinghao!” Cheng Mingyan couldn’t stand it anymore and reached out to hit Zhou Qinghao.

Zhou Qinghao dodged quickly: “You just resort to violence when you can’t win the argument, Cheng Mingyan, you are a violent person, Gu Juntian will never like someone like you!”

After saying that, Zhou Qinghao turned around and ran away.

He was not afraid of fighting with Cheng Mingyan.

Although he was thin, he had rich experience in fighting. He could easily deal with a young master like Cheng Mingyan!

But what would happen after the fight?

If Cheng Mingyan went to complain to his parents and Old man Gu, he would get nothing good.

Zhou Qinghao still remembered that when he was in primary school, he was bullied so badly that he got into a fight with someone in a fit of rage.

He didn’t take advantage at the time and was beaten black and blue. However, when the teacher called the parents, the other student’s parents came, but his parents didn’t.

He was caught and scolded for half an hour by the other party’s parents, but he didn’t dare to talk back.

No one would stand up for him, so he didn’t dare to hit Cheng Mingyan.

Zhou Qinghao ran back to his residence, already panting.

But after taking a look at the insulated lunch box in his hand, a smile appeared on his face again, and he planned to eat slowly in front of the young couple.

Unfortunately, the young couple didn’t come back… Zhou Qinghao had no choice but to take a bunch of photos, and then he picked and chose nine to post on WeChat Moments: “Love dinner is delicious, love you~”

He also added several hearts after the wavy line.

After posting, he took a screenshot and sent it to Gu Juntian. Gu Juntian didn’t read the Moments, so if he didn’t sent it, Gu Juntian won’t be able to see it.

Cheng Mingyan did not add Zhou Qinghao as a friend, but Huo Pinghai, as Zhou Qinghao’s colleague, could see Zhou Qinghao’s circle of friends.

He took a screenshot and forwarded it to Cheng Mingyan.

When Cheng Mingyan saw this, he was filled with hatred.

Zhou Qinghao was a man with two different faces in front of and behind other people.

He had recorded Zhou Qinghao’s insults and was determined to expose Zhou Qinghao’s true face as soon as possible to prevent Gu Juntian from being deceived!

Zhou Qinghao didn’t know what Cheng Mingyan was thinking. After he had his meal, he couldn’t help but sigh when he saw that Gu Juntian didn’t reply to his message.

He and Gu Juntian hadn’t had any dates recently.

The progress of both of them had been stuck there… He hadn’t even touched Gu Juntian’s hand!

In the past, Zhou Qinghao didn’t really covet Gu Juntian’s body, but recently… he realized for the first time that he was actually a pervert.

On the contrary, it was Gu Juntian, how came this man was so pure and indifferent!

Was he a man?

Gu Juntian didn’t know that Zhou Qinghao had questioned his male identity.

He had been really busy lately.

He needed to take care of the health of Grandpa Gu and Zhou Qinghao, reform the Gu family, and purchase various research and development equipment…

He had been making some big moves recently, and some of the company’s veterans were not happy with him and were trying to make trouble for him, which he also had to deal with.

Fortunately, he had the memories of the original owner, and he should have had experience as a company president before traveling through time, so he was able to handle it well.

Even at work, he would think of Zhou Qinghao from time to time, which somewhat affected his efficiency.

Love was indeed the biggest enemy of career!

Look, Zhou Qinghao sent him a message again, saying that he loved him. How could he concentrate on his work?

Gu Juntian clicked into Zhou Qinghao’s circle of friends and admired it for a long time, and couldn’t help but click a like.
