half-baked life

Chapter 74 If you become the "mistress", SUM will really be doomed!

"Gu Xia, when will you be able to give the old man and old lady a bath? Is this so laborious? Can you give me an accurate answer? It's been almost two weeks!"

Li Mingchu slumped on the sofa with a pale face and screamed. His mouth was as bitter as if he had eaten two handfuls of fresh lotus seed cores. His stomach ached with throbbing pain, and from time to time he would have nauseated wine burps.

Due to the suspension of broadcasting during this period, everyone in the company was very idle, but he was the only one who was busier than before. He was busy pretending to be a grandson in front of various "Party A's dads", spending time at dinner tables and wine parties every day, and drinking too much. Everyone gathered in a big circle.

Gu Xia's "temporary grandson" has not been able to become the "temporary grandson" for a long time, but his "grandson" has already pretended to be enough.

"My boss finally passed the written test yesterday, but failed the practical test again. He will retake the test in three days."

The little assistant next to him handed the Pad he was reading to Li Mingchu with a weird expression. Li Mingchu, who was still hungover, lazily took it. The picture happened to be a picture of Gu Xia holding a plastic inflatable dummy to simulate a practical assessment. He was holding it in one hand. Holding the dummy's ankle, one hand wrapped in a towel, he scrubbed his calf back and forth in a serious manner.

Li Mingchu just commented, "Isn't this very good?" The next second, Gu Xia seemed to have deliberately slapped him in the face, and exploded the dummy with a bang.

Accompanied by the sharp laughter of the assistant next to him who could no longer hold back, Li Mingchu had a splitting headache and his blood pressure soared rapidly.

"I really didn't expect that thing to be so... so fragile." Gu Xia, who was standing in front of the mirror adjusting her hair, paused and explained in a low voice.

Li Mingchu threw the pad back into the arms of the assistant who was laughing so hard that he sat up with difficulty and rubbed his face twice.

He is not yet married, but thanks to Gu Xia, he has already experienced the blood, tears, heartache, pain and anger of Jiwa's old father.

Li Mingchu looked at Gu Xia with bloodshot eyes. The moment he spoke, he suddenly realized that this matter could be viewed from another angle.

"...No, we actually gave Jieping a 50 yuan 'sponsorship fee' to help with bathing. Can't we just give it a try? It's a written test and it's practical. Why don't we just give the old man and old lady a bath?" Why do you have to be so particular? Do they think they don’t have enough money?”

The more Li Mingchu talked about it, the more he felt that this was the case, "If you don't like me, just tell me straight away. Is it interesting to go around in such a big circle?"

"Brother, you are wrong. It is not about money at all. Besides, the 50 yuan is not a 'sponsorship fee', it is just a deposit." Gu Xia corrected him.

"It's not about money? What... hiccup... what is it? Could it be that I am deliberately making things difficult for you?" Li Mingchu hit the nail on the head unintentionally.

"...This 50 yuan will be used as a deposit. After the cooperation is over, if both parties are satisfied and have not caused any losses to each other, we, Jieping Bath Assistance, will naturally return it all."

Two weeks ago, Jiang He finally fulfilled Gu Xia's wish and sat face to face with him at the table. "I have adjusted some imperfect details of the contract. The basic changes are not big. I just added a little bit, that is, I want to To become a Jieping bathing experiencer and officially participate in bathing for the elderly, you must pass both the written examination and the practical assessment. Can Boss Gu accept this?"

Jiang He added this condition in the first place because he wanted Gu Xia to retreat when he saw the difficulties. If you are in a hurry, then I will take my time!
"Of course." She didn't expect that Gu Xia would accept it happily.

"...In this case, Boss Gu is welcome to join us. We...will have a happy cooperation."

When Jiang He said this, the smile on his face was polite and fake, but Gu Xia was as bright as a summer flower, "Happy cooperation."

"It's been almost a month since we stopped broadcasting. If we delay it for another two days, no one on the Internet will remember you!"

There are all kinds of Internet celebrities emerging in an endless stream these days. The attention of netizens is being competed by all parties. Their memory is not as good as that of a goldfish. Without his "Boss Gu's Summer", there is still "Boss Zhou's Autumn" waiting here!
The more Li Shiming thought about it, the more worried he became. He felt that he couldn't just wait and say, "How about you go to a nursing home as a volunteer for two days first, and let's do some hype first to maintain the popularity?"

"Stir-fry three times and two times, just in case it gets burnt again. Actually, I think this is pretty good. It's just a break."

Gu Xia was speaking from the bottom of his heart. When the fire was cooking and the flowers were blooming, he had no thoughts and no time to think about it. He was just being pushed forward. Now that he stopped, he felt very boring.

His original intention of becoming an Internet celebrity was for SUM, but the result was that he put the cart before the horse. As the manager of an independent home furnishing brand, his design was not perfect and his concept was not serious. He deserved what happened this time.

"Brother, I think the aging home line mentioned by Manager Mei is really interesting. I want to do it well, not just as a public relations tool. As for Jieping's bathing assistance, since I agreed to it in the first place, I have to say If I do that, they can also help me gain a deeper understanding of the real life difficulties of the disabled elderly, killing two birds with one stone!"

As Gu Xia spoke, she was arranging her hair style very carefully in front of the mirror, even the curvature of her hair was carefully carved.

"That's what I said, but you finally climbed here, how could it be that you gave up like this? Don't you think it's a pity, I'll do it for you... No, you're not in the right state!" Li Mingchu forced his thoughts back, He touched his chin and looked at Gu Xia, who was competing with the peacock in front of him. Although Gu Xia had always been extremely concerned about his personal image, this was a rare situation at the moment. His words were too high-sounding, and he had not passed the essay examination. Like the standard answer.

"The last time you had this affair was three years ago, when you were pursuing a married woman... Let me think about it, Karon's director, whose surname is Jane... no, his last name is... Jiang, right?"

"The surname is Jiang, Jiang He. Let me say it again, she is not a 'married woman', she just had a boyfriend at the time."

Gu Xia took two steps back, raised her chin slightly, raised her hand to adjust the position of the necklace, and made sure the overall shape was acceptable before looking back at Li Mingchu.

"Look, do you remember what the person's name is?" Li Mingchu raised his chin at the assistant, "This 'Jiang He' is the first 'Waterloo' that our boss Gu has encountered in his life, and it is also the only one. Since then, , Boss Gu completely closed his heart to his love, immersed himself in work, and finally succeeded."

"Brother Li, it seems it's her this time." The assistant turned to the last page of the cooperation agreement signed by Gu Xia and Jieping Zhuyu. Party B's signature was clearly signed with the name "Jiang He".

"...It's the same name, right?" Li Mingchu squinted his eyes, not believing that there was such a coincidence in this world.

"I'm afraid this name isn't very heavy," the assistant said hesitantly.

"It's not the same name, it's just her."

Gu Xia's words shocked Li Mingchu and almost dropped his pad, but he didn't take it seriously. He grabbed the yogurt on the table and threw it to Li Mingchu. Then he grabbed his cell phone and was about to go out, but was stopped by Li Mingchu, who was stumbling on his feet.

"No, Gu Xia? Are you really prepared to fall into the same pit twice?"

"Senior brother, let's make a bet. I will definitely be able to catch Jiang He within three months at most."

"Are you 'determined to win' again?" Gu Xia's stinky expression at this moment made Li Mingchu instantly hallucinate three years ago. At that time, he had also made the same vow, but the result was a complete failure. It is said that he was ridiculed by Jiang He's real boyfriend.

"Okay, I'll bet with you, what do you want to bet on?"

"Just bet on my motorcycle. If I lose, the car will be yours. If I win, how about you buy an identical one for Xiao Qi?" Gu Xia raised an eyebrow at the assistant.

"Okay, I'll make a bet with you!" Li Mingchu stretched out his right hand, Gu Xiazhi patted it with satisfaction, and the bet came into effect immediately.

"Come on, boss!" As the biggest beneficiary of this bet, the assistant naturally stood firmly on Gu Xia's side. He diligently held an umbrella in both hands and sent it to Gu Xia, "It's raining outside, boss, be careful not to get wet." Flat hair."

"Don't just chase after people. You can also help with the bathing and get some snacks. Everyone in this company is looking for you to eat!"

Li Mingchu watched Gu Xia go out and gave him an uneasy instruction, but as soon as he finished speaking, a strange thought suddenly came out of his mind, "...No, Gu Xia, please wait a moment, Jiang He is now Is she single? Is she not married?"

Gu Xia, who was entering the elevator, said nothing and gave him an OK gesture without looking back.

"What does he mean? Is it OK, or is he going to be a 'mistress'?"

Li Mingchu's brain suddenly had an abnormal discharge. The assistant also confused him and shook his head blankly.

Li Mingchu panicked all of a sudden. He hurried to the open window and saw Gu Xia walking out of the door holding an umbrella. He immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs, "Gu Xia, please calm down. If you become a 'mistress', SUM will really be doomed!"

Thanks to him, Gu Xia was immediately targeted by the contempt, disgust and interesting gazes of passers-by around him. He raised his head slightly, looked at Li Mingchu with a hidden smile, and slowly gave him the middle finger. Then he got into the special car parked at the door and sped away.

"...Does he mean that he is determined to be 'San'er'?" Li Mingchu's mind, which has been repeatedly infiltrated by alcohol these days, has a completely new way of thinking.

"Brother Li, the boss should be scolding you."

The assistant looked at Li Mingchu with sympathy. He had always known that drinking was harmful to the liver and brain, but he didn't expect it to be this bad. He didn't know if Li Mingchu could be considered a work-related injury.
