Chapter 664: So He Was There All Along 4
"I’m not idle," Gu Beicheng turned around, approaching step by step."Not idle?" Xia Yinian bit her lip, continuing, "Of course, Uncle is busy every day."
So busy he could hardly care for his own safety, on the contrary, she had spent so much time worrying about him yesterday.
To prevent him from being threatened, she would rather jump into the sea.
Unfortunately, when she hoped he would appear, he did not.
Feeling the man continually closing in, she suddenly turned around to face him.
"Uncle, I ran into a little issue yesterday and didn’t complete the task given by the trade center well."
"So, I just hope to achieve something today, not to let my impression score be greatly discounted. You’re so busy, Uncle, please go ahead with your work."
She waved her hand and turned around to open a box, taking out the prepared medicine ingredients, sorting them out.
Apart from not wanting to be in the same room as Uncle, Xia Yinian indeed wanted to do well in her work.
She took alchemy very seriously.
Gu Beicheng looked at her petite frame, frowning slightly, and took the box that the man had just left with him.
He placed the box on the now empty desk beside Xia Yinian.
"This is also my task for today." He glanced sideways at the girl next to him.
Xia Yinian met his gaze, a bit puzzled by his intent.
Gu Beicheng took off his glasses and placed them aside.
He averted his gaze, opened the box, and skillfully sorted out the medicine inside.
"Didn’t you hear that Shengshi Group is venturing into the pharmaceutical industry?" The man’s calm voice arose.
Looking at the earnest Gu Beicheng, Xia Yinian frowned.
How could she not have heard of such a major event?
Could it be that Uncle’s visit to Yaoshan this time is related to Shengshi Group’s move into the pharmaceutical industry?
Watching his proficient and even professional actions, Xia Yinian didn’t dare to doubt it.
She had been thinking earlier if this guy was simply idle and came to pick on her.
Now, she felt like an idiot for having such thoughts.
Uncle never fights uncertain battles. If he were venturing into the pharmaceutical industry, how could he allow himself to be ignorant about it?
After another look, Xia Yinian immediately withdrew her gaze.
"Uncle, I think I’ll step out first; I’ll find a way to handle my matters."
Since it’s related to secrets, it’s better for her to leave.
When Uncle becomes cunning, no one can match him; she can’t take that risk.
What if he has some commercial secret that she accidentally sees, and then he extorts her later, what then?
"Are you implying that matters of the Gu Family have nothing to do with you?" Gu Beicheng stated coldly, not expecting the girl to be so guarded against him!
Xia Yinian blinked and glanced at him again.
"Start the alchemy if you’re going to, I need to see your progress," Gu Beicheng said, looking her in the eye, his expression somewhat stern.
Xia Yinian pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
Uncle has always helped her; wanting to know her progress is definitely not a problem.
She even felt that this man might be able to give her some guidance.
Everybody thinks he is capable of anything; Uncle is known for being skilled in everything, so his alchemy skills are not surprising at all.
If Gu Beicheng knew how highly Xia Yinian was praising him in her heart, would he wake up laughing from his dreams?
Having this girl admire him a bit more is harder than reaching the heavens.
Of course, he did not know that in fact, Xia Yinian often admired him a great deal, she really did.
