Chapter 115 Xia Qing

"Okay, I have a professional team to play with you. You don't need to reveal your identity. Usually, let them analyze the game for you and give you professional advice."

"Gu Yu, aren't you too generous? You even need to hire a professional team just to play a game."

"Isn't this useful? Then where to go offline? It wouldn't be good if your identity was photographed by outsiders."

"Yes, so let's just stay at my house. Where do you live?" Qiao Jingjing said as if nothing had happened.

“Riverside Arc de Triomphe.”

"That's very close, just right."

"My place is also fine. It's a townhouse with good privacy."

Gu Yu also pretended to be indifferent. Qiao Jingjing stopped and looked at Gu Yu.

"That's fine." Qiao Jingjing smiled.

In the next few days, the two often met at Qiao Jingjing's house to teach games. Of course, they still had to be busy when they had to be busy.

"Mr. Gu, Xia Qing from Encore Capital wants to make an appointment with you."

"Xia Qing?"

"She is the marketing director of Encore Capital in East China. She said she is your classmate."

Gu Yu came to Yucheng Capital today, a rare occasion. He had just finished a meeting and returned to the office when his secretary came to report on matters.

Hearing about old friends always brings back memories.

Xia Qing, the academic goddess of Yixing No. 5 High School, was also the class beauty of Grade () at that time, probably because of her academic performance.

At that time, she only had Yu Tu in her eyes and ignored Gu Yu. After all, Yu Tu was better than her in terms of academic performance and appearance, as well as family conditions.

As the class monitor, Xia Qing interacted with Gu Yu a lot. She was already quite good at dealing with people in high school, and was liked by teachers and classmates alike.

However, it is difficult to hide the likes and dislikes in one's eyes. Qiao Jingjing's eyes showed equality towards Gu Yu, then sympathy and kindness, and finally guilt.

Xia Qing's eyes showed alienation, indifference, and even a bit of disdain and sarcasm. She probably believed the rumors.

"What's going on today?"

"No, Mr. Gu, you have instructed us to cancel all visits, receptions, and ceremonies this month."

"Let her come over now." Gu Yu was looking at a project due diligence report without even raising his head, his voice calm.

"Okay, I'll make the call now."

About twenty or thirty minutes later, the secretary knocked on the door and brought Xia Qing in.

"Boss Gu, Director Xia is here."

"Well, go make yourself a cup of Americano, using Emerald's specially selected Gesha coffee beans."

"Ok."

Gu Yu gave the instructions calmly. Xia Qing was pleasantly surprised after hearing this, and felt that Gu Yu should still care about the friendship between classmates.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see."

Xia Qing is graceful and elegant, with the image of an elite woman. She is wearing a light-colored women's suit and high heels, which makes her look tall and her skin looks fair.

"Long time no see, old classmate, please sit down."

Xia Qing on the opposite side took the initiative to extend her right hand, and Gu Yu also politely shook hands simply.

"I never thought that such an outstanding entrepreneur would emerge among our classmates. Mr. Gu, you are now the pride of Yixing No. 1 Middle School and a role model for all students of Yixing No. 1 Middle School."

Xia Qing's face was full of smiles, and her eyes were full of admiration and a bit of flattery.

"I made some mistakes, but I just stood at the forefront of the times."

Gu Yu's expression was always calm, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. Xia Qing didn't think anything of it, because in her impression, Gu Yu was just that kind of person.

"Mr. Gu is too modest. While we are still gloating over our million-dollar annual salaries, you are working on projects worth tens of billions of dollars on a daily basis."

"Xia Qing, since we are classmates and in the same venture capital industry, why don't you just speak frankly if you have anything to say."

"Mr. Gu misunderstood. I am not here for company business this time. I happened to be on a business trip to Hangzhou and thought of my old classmates. I haven't seen them for many years. This is a rare opportunity."

Xia Qing smoothed her long hair by her ears, her voice gentle and calm, her face showing beautiful memories of her youth.

"Thank you."

At this time, the secretary also brought the brewed American coffee to Xia Qing, and Xia Qing took it politely.

“This cup of coffee is so fragrant and has a very pure taste, worthy of being a red label Geisha.” With just a sniff, the aroma filled the air and his face showed admiration.

"The name of this coffee bean suits you."

Gu Yu's seemingly unintentional words, combined with Xia Qing's instructions to the secretary when she first came in, inevitably made Xia Qing think more.

"Gu Yu, you are still the same as before, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and you value love the most." Xia Qing smiled brightly.

Xia Qing wanted to continue the in-depth conversation and express her feelings, but at this moment, Gu Yu's cell phone rang.

"Gu Yu, are you done with your work? When are you coming over? I played for the whole morning and got two MVPs."

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Jingjing was wearing her home pajamas. Even without dressing up, she looked youthful and beautiful, adding a touch of laziness to her look.

"Sorry, I have an appointment at noon today. I'll come to your place when I'm done."

When Xia Qing saw Gu Yu answer the phone, he actually smiled. She was surprised and a little curious about the identity of the caller.

"Don't bother me if you're busy with work. It's okay. You can teach me when you have time." Qiao Jingjing said softly with understanding.

"It's not work, an old classmate is here."

"Old classmate? High school classmate? Do I know him?" Qiao Jingjing was a little curious after hearing this, because Gu Yu had few classmates who were willing to talk to him.

"It's Xia Qing." Gu Yu glanced at the opposite side, and Xia Qing also smiled slightly.

"Xia Qing? Is that her?" There was no sound from the other end. "Then you can talk to her. I'm hanging up first."

"The person who called just now seemed to be from an old classmate?" Xia Qing asked curiously after seeing Gu Yu hang up the phone.

"Yes, it's Jingjing."

Jingjing? Qiao Jingjing? Xia Qing immediately confirmed the person's identity.

Thinking of Gu Yu's smile and the intimate way he addressed him just now, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Why is it that no matter what time, she always lingers around me? From childhood to adulthood, no matter her family conditions or her looks and figure, she has always been better than me. Now, she is a big star and has such a close relationship with Gu Yu, who is worth tens of billions.

"I didn't expect you were still in touch with her. She's in the entertainment industry now and usually has to attend various cocktail parties. You and her always have a chance to run into each other."

Xia Qing calmed herself down and looked friendly and calm, but there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

"It's also a coincidence that when I met her again, she is still the same as before, simple and kind." Gu Yu smiled with a look of reminiscence on his face.

Xia Qing felt even more uncomfortable after seeing this.

"Really? That's great. After half a lifetime of walking, I'm still a young man when I return. If I have the chance, I'd also like to chat with a big star."

The big star Qiao Jingjing was at home with a sad face. She was also unhappy about Gu Yu and Xia Qing's gathering.

Qiao Jingjing suddenly remembered that when she was in the third year of high school, she had asked Gu Yu on QQ, "Who do you think is the best looking in your class?"

In the end, that idiot mentioned Qiao Jingjing and Xia Qing.

"How stupid! How could that woman be in the same group with me. Damn Gu Yu! Damn idiot!"

Qiao Jingjing got a little angry, picked up the pillow on the sofa, and punched it.

"Jingjing, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhu asked puzzledly.

“Um, it’s nothing. I just suddenly thought of a game.” Qiao Jingjing was a little embarrassed. She rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to speak.

"Oh, Jingjing, do we still have to wait for Mr. Gu to have dinner together?"

"No, he's busy, let's eat first."
