The evil stepmother is also doing her best for the motherland today.

Seeing Xu Jingyi enjoying her meal, Gu Minzheng unknowingly ate half a bowl of rice too.

It had been a long time since I had eaten braised pork with pickled vegetables. Xu Jingyi couldn't stop eating it. In the end, she felt a little full after finishing the meal. She looked at her bulging belly and sighed: "Good food is misleading!"

When she returned home, Xu Jingyi felt a little uncomfortable lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Gu Minzheng looked at Xu Jingyi like this, smiled and pinched the tip of her nose: "I'll make you greedy."

"But it's really delicious." Xu Jingyi hummed.

Seeing Xu Jingyi's rogue appearance, Gu Minzheng had a look of helplessness in his eyes. He stood up and found Xu Jingyi's stomach-building and digestion tablets for her to take. He half-hugged her in his arms and carefully rubbed Xu Jingyi's belly, which made Xu Jingyi feel better. A lot.

Ever since Xu Jingyi became Gu Minzheng's secretary, their lives have basically been on the same page, and their relationship has changed from a vigorous one at the beginning to a smooth one.

Gu Minzheng intended to teach Xu Jingyi, and Xu Jingyi learned eagerly, which resulted in Xu Jingyi being able to take charge of her own duties many times now.

Everything was going for the better. Xu Jingyi remembered that day very clearly. Gu Minzheng received a call saying that the company's crude oil base had been attacked by terrorists. There was chaos there and someone needed to come and take charge.

Hearing the news, Xu Jingyi's heart tightened, she stood up suddenly and ran quickly to Gu Minzheng's office, just when she happened to encounter Gu Minzheng leading Zhou Zheng out.

When Gu Minzheng saw Xu Jingyi, he paused and said to Zhou Zheng: "Go and book a flight first. Book a flight and contact the person in charge there."

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

Zhou Zheng passed by Xu Jingyi and nodded as a greeting, then hurriedly went to prepare the relevant matters instructed by Gu Minzheng.

"Are you going to go to the Middle East in person?" Xu Jingyi asked fancifully even though she had already heard it.

"Don't worry, I'll be back after I've taken care of things over there." Gu Minzheng naturally noticed Xu Jingyi's strangeness, and he tried to comfort her in a slow tone.

Xu Jingyi took a step forward, grabbed Gu Minzheng's hand, stared at Gu Minzheng and said, "I'll go with you."

"It's not safe over there. I don't feel safe taking you with me. Be good and I'll be back soon. You and the children are waiting for me at home."

Xu Jingyi shook her head. At this moment, she couldn't think at all. Whenever she thought about the Middle East, all kinds of war scenes appeared in her mind.

"Mr. Gu."

Zhou Zheng was ready, and the two of them were in a hurry. Looking at Xu Jingyi who was holding on to him and not letting go, Gu Minzheng suddenly felt an impulse to take the person away without hesitation, but in the end reason was stronger than emotion.

"Go to the airport first."

Xu Jingyi thought that Gu Minzheng was taking her away, so she didn't bother to say hello to the people in the secretary's office and followed Gu Minzheng into the car.

The two of them didn't talk the whole way, and the atmosphere on the road was a bit solemn. Looking at Xu Jingyi, who had a tense face, Gu Minzheng seemed too relaxed.

He raised his hand and pinched Xu Jingyi's cheek: "If you continue to frown, you will get wrinkles. It's not as dangerous as you think. The company has its own mercenaries, don't worry."

"Can someone else go?" Xu Jingyi asked, still unwilling to give up.

But when she came into contact with Gu Minzheng's deep gaze, Xu Jingyi leaned on Gu Minzheng in frustration, braced herself and said, "Yes, you are right, you can't think of the worst in everything."

The airport arrived while they were talking. When Xu Jingyi wanted to get out of the car, she was suddenly grabbed by Gu Minzheng. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Zheng, who wisely got out of the car and kept a safe distance.Xu Jingyi looked at Gu Minzheng doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"You don't go."

These three words entered Xu Jingyi's ears. She looked at Gu Minzheng with wide eyes and said emotionally: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Do you think I am holding you back? I have learned now It’s a lot, otherwise you take me there, and I’ll wait for you at the hotel and won’t come out and cause you any trouble, okay?”

Looking at the panicked Xu Jingyi, Gu Minzheng hugged her and kissed her cheek: "Be obedient and wait for me at home. I will be worried if you go."

Xu Jingyi burst into tears, feeling for the first time that she was growing up too slowly.

Feeling the moisture on his shoulders, Gu Minzheng held the person in his arms, took out a tissue and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of Xu Jingyi's eyes, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Why do you cry so much? It's just a business trip, don't worry."

Xu Jingyi looked at Gu Minzheng with drunken eyes and tears, nodded, and buried her head in Gu Minzheng's arms.

Gu Minzheng held Xu Jingyi's hand tighter, and Xu Jingyi was left in the car in the end. Gu Minzheng did not let her send him off. Before boarding the plane, Gu Minzheng felt worried for the first time in his heart. He looked back and entered the VIP cabin under the guidance of the flight attendant. inside.

Xu Jingyi opened the car door and got out of the car, looked up at the plane flying overhead, clenched her hands into fists, and watched the plane leave. When he saw Zhou Zheng coming out of the airport, she looked past Zhou Zheng and looked behind him until Zhou Zheng came closer. When he still didn't see the person he met, he looked up at Zhou Zheng.

"Mr. Gu, you didn't take me with you this time."

Xu Jingyi opened her mouth and suddenly didn't know what to say, so she closed her mouth and nodded, got into the car and said to Zhou Zheng, "Go back to the company."

Ever since Gu Minzheng left, Xu Jingyi had been in a bad state all afternoon. She was a little distracted. She realized that she couldn't go on like this. Xu Jingyi went to Zhou Zheng and asked for information about the company in the Middle East. She held it and read it all afternoon. She took the information with her when she got home from get off work. .

Lying on the bed, counting the time from Gu Minzheng's departure to now, she realized that it would still be about three hours before the plane landed. Xu Jingyi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Finally I got up, put on my clothes, went to the study again, and started studying.

"Buzzing."

When the phone rang, Xu Jingyi quickly picked up the phone and pressed the connect button.

"Still not asleep?" Gu Minzheng's deep voice came from the phone.

"Can't sleep." Xu Jingyi listened to Gu Minzheng's voice, and her heart slowly fell back to her throat at this moment.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

Knowing that Gu Minzheng still had a lot of things to deal with, Xu Jingyi didn't say much when she heard this. She just told him to pay more attention to safety on the phone and hung up the phone.

Gu Minzheng hung up the phone, his soft eyebrows turned cold again, and he was taken directly to the crude oil base company. Only then did he realize that there was a conflict between two factions of the local political situation, and Gu Minzheng's base became cannon fodder.

Naturally, it was impossible for Gu Minzheng to suffer this secret loss. He immediately found the person in charge, understood the local political situation, and planned to intervene. It was better to take the initiative than to be passively beaten.

When Gu Minzheng learned about the local dispute between the two parties, as the main developer of local crude oil, the leaders of both parties wanted his support.
