President Daddy, let go of my mommy

Chapter 749 Dissatisfaction
Through an afternoon of communication with Mr. Painter, Gu Qiqi had a further idea of ​​the concept of the exhibition. After leaving the villa, she returned to the gallery excitedly and started to prepare for the exhibition.

"Qiqi, the higher-ups are more concerned about the case of the exhibition. I was thinking that it would be more appropriate to appoint two colleagues as your assistants." The manager walked straight to Gu Qiqi's table, raised his hand and made gestures to Jing Xin and Xiaomei respectively. gesture.

"Me and her?!" Jing Xin stretched out her finger and pointed at herself, frowning slightly with displeasure.

Even though she hasn't been working in the gallery for a long time, she shouldn't be reduced to being an assistant to Gu Qiqi to help run errands, right?

"What? Is there any problem?" Of course, the manager didn't know that Jing Xin was upset, but he really didn't like people who disobeyed his arrangement at will.

Jing Xin pursed her lips, and obviously felt a sharp look on her body.She secretly clenched the ballpoint pen in her hand, and reluctantly agreed.

If it wasn't for Gu Qiqi's backing of Zhanyan, how would she have the confidence to continue staying in the gallery brazenly?

Therefore, Jing Xin, who was jealous in his heart, stared at Gu Qiqi with some deep meaning in his eyes.

And all these changes in her mood were watched by Xiaomei, who was sitting diagonally across from her, quietly.The heels of her palms rested on the edge of the table, and her fingertips tapped on the table one after another, and she immediately took it to heart.

Once bitten, twice shy.Although recently, Xiaomei hadn't been a monster in the gallery, but since Gu Qiqi knew that she was Jiang Jiayue's person, she had to be wary of her.I was afraid that if I let down my vigilance against Xiaomei, I might fall into the trap designed by the other party.

And this was exactly what Fu Sisi was worried about.

Taking advantage of the time when she was about to get off work, Fu Sisi deliberately pulled Gu Qiqi to the tea room, reminding her to be careful during this time.

"Don't forget the pain when you heal your scars. That woman will definitely be a ruthless character. The most important thing is that she is from Jiang Jiayue's side. She is eyeing you all day long, just wanting to punish you to death. The opportunity to take Zhan Mingxi back."

Fu Sisi crossed her arms, leaned against the door, and analyzed the current serious situation with Gu Qiqi concisely.

"Although I don't know if the manager arranged this on purpose, I still want to remind you not to take it lightly before the exhibition is over."

According to Xiaomei's previous methods, she is very likely to poke some moths before the exhibition preparations, and take the opportunity to make Gu Qiqi, the person in charge, take the blame.

"Let's take a step and see." Gu Qiqi rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, always feeling that he couldn't figure out what Xiaomei would do, let alone find an opportunity to fight back against her.

To put it simply, she is not good at playing tricks with those who treat her badly.

"Just pay attention." Fu Sisi raised her hand to hold her shoulder, subconsciously glanced outside vigilantly, for fear that the conversation between them would be overheard by others.

"Then tomorrow, I will ask Jing Xin to accompany me to pick out a picture frame outside the city."

Fu Sisi gestured to her and walked out of the tea room early.

In the evening, Gu Qiqi, who came home exhausted, hurriedly finished her meal and then went upstairs to rest, without even looking straight at Zhan Mingxi who was sitting on the other side eating.

Looking at the back of her walking slowly upstairs, Zhan Mingxi, who was sitting at the dining table, couldn't figure it out, thinking that she had encountered something unsatisfactory in the gallery during the day, and even felt depressed.

However, seeing that she seemed very tired, Zhan Mingxi didn't get up and go upstairs to disturb her rest.

The next morning, Gu Qiqi deliberately woke up half an hour earlier than usual. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, she stretched lazily, and with a little force on her wrist, she opened the curtain aside.

"It looks like it's very likely to rain today." Gu Qiqi raised his eyes, looking at the misty sky, feeling a vague sense of ominous foreboding from the bottom of his heart.

However, she still called Jing Xin to remind her to meet at the entrance of the gallery early.

"Don't worry, I will arrive at the company one step earlier than you today." Hearing the confident voice on the other end of the phone, Gu Qiqi covered her mouth and let out a chuckle, sweeping away the previous haze involuntarily.

After the two met in the gallery, the manager specially lent them the company's special car.

"Remember to come back early." Gu Qiqi thanked him, took the key from his hand, and went straight to the underground parking lot to pick up the car.

"Before, I originally wanted to find some reliable stores in the city, but I couldn't find a good one for a while, so I had no choice but to contact a few galleries that I had cooperated with before. The city It’s a bit far outside, but it’s about the same time to come back after picking out the frame.” Gu Qiqi said while reaching out to turn on the navigation system on the display.

Unlucky enough to encounter the morning rush hour on the elevated highway, they struggled to move forward slowly in the heavy traffic.It was almost noon when Gu Qiqi drove the car out of the city.

"I knew I should have left earlier." Taking advantage of the gap between the traffic lights, Gu Qiqi subconsciously glanced at the line of sight in the upper right corner of the display, always feeling that when they got there, the merchants in the store would all go to eat.

"It's okay, I'll call again now." Perhaps sensing her anxiety, Jing Xin took out her mobile phone from her pocket as she spoke, and contacted several shops that had been agreed in advance.

Sure enough, relying on her alone to solve the exhibition affairs, she might be in a hurry.

Perhaps, Gu Qiqi was named as the curator of this exhibition in the first place, partly because of the delay.

Jing Xin bit her lip unwillingly, feeling that she shouldn't just be buried like this.

"Jing Xin, why are you sitting in the car in a daze? We are all here." Gu Qiqi's voice suddenly resounded next to his ears, pulling him back from his thoughts. Hearing the sound, Jing Xin turned his head and smiled apologetically at her , then opened the car door with one hand and walked down.

"Hi, I'm the person in charge of the exhibition that I called you before. This project is very important to our company, so I came here specially to see if there is a suitable frame for our paintings."

The corners of Gu Qiqi's mouth slightly raised, with a polite smile, he stepped forward a few steps and held the hand he extended towards her.

"Hi, the boss told me about it before, so without further ado, I'll take you inside for a visit." The middle-aged man in neat clothes turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Qiqi.

She nodded in apology and walked into the shop first.

Because the property prices outside the city are much cheaper than inside the city, these pre-booked shops are scattered in every corner outside the city, and they are not close together.This undoubtedly made Gu Qiqi spend more time on the road, and shortened the limited time to look at the frame.

"Jing Xin, I visited several stores in a row. Do you have any ideas?" Gu Qiqi sat back in the car, took the mineral water from Jing Xin's hand, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down a big gulp.

"I don't think there is any difference in the quality of these frames, but I prefer the frame of the second one. Its uniqueness is more suitable for the paintings we want to exhibit." Jing Xin recalled carefully before Several frameworks, give their own objective suggestions.

"However, I am not the person in charge of the exhibition, and the final decision is based on your idea." She changed the topic, lowered her eyes and murmured.

No one noticed that a trace of jealousy flashed silently in her eyes.

"No matter what, you are also a member of the company's employees, so I will still take your opinion as a reference." Gu Qiqi shook her head and explained.After all, she is not a dictatorial person, and sometimes brainstorming is also a good choice.

"Now let's talk about it, where can I get the frame?" Jing Xin glanced at the sky outside the car window, and the lightning hidden in the dark clouds appeared faintly, as if waiting for an opportunity to discharge.

Maybe it won't be long before it will rain.

"Let's go to the second one you just mentioned." Gu Qiqi took out his mobile phone and called the other party, explaining that he would get the frame later.

Everything seemed to be proceeding step by step. Just as Gu Qiqi and Jing Xin moved the frames into the trunk together, Jing Xin suddenly received a series of fatal calls from the manager.The moment the bell rang suddenly, both Gu Qiqi and Jing Xin jumped.

"I don't know who it is, but they really know how to make calls at the right time." Jing Xin finally took out the phone from his pocket after the last frame was settled.

Surprised to find that the screen is full of missed calls from the manager.

"Hey, manager, what's the matter?" Jing Xin nervously clutched the mobile phone next to her ear, always feeling that every time the manager called her, nothing good would happen.

Sure enough, there was an urgent problem in a project she was in charge of, and she needed to solve it herself.

"Okay, I'll go back now." Jing Xin hung up the phone, explained to Gu Qiqi hastily, then stopped a taxi at the side of the road, and left in a hurry.

"How much is it here, can you give me the bill?" Gu Qiqi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his backhand, and after roughly discussing the price with the boss, he got in the car and drove back in the direction of the city.

However, just when she wanted to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, the car suddenly broke down halfway through the drive. No matter what she did, the car had no intention of restarting at all.

Gu Qiqi, who suddenly felt alone and helpless, put one hand on his waist, brushed away the hair hanging from his face with his palm, and scanned the empty road with an anxious expression.

While hesitating, her first reaction was not to ask the company for help, but to call Zhan Mingxi for help.

"I hope God will treat me kindly, and don't let it rain at this time." Gu Qiqi raised his face, looked at the dark cloud that had a tendency to thunder, and prayed secretly in his heart.
