Gu Zhiqi glanced at the message from Chubby Chiu and slightly raised her eyebrows.
Didn’t you say you were going out for something?
As Gu Zhiqi pondered in confusion, Chubby Chiu sent another message.
[First Jiu: As soon as you left, the beauty came out from the study!]
[First Jiu: I suspect the beauty is hiding from you.]
[First Jiu: Tell me the truth, did you two have a fight when I wasn’t online?]
Chubby Chiu sent three consecutive messages. Looking at these, Gu Zhiqi fell silent.
If Su Yunling hadn’t sent her a message in the morning, Gu Zhiqi probably would share the same thoughts as Chubby Chiu, feeling that Su Yunling was avoiding her.
But she did send a message, and also made breakfast.
It shouldn’t be avoidance.
Chubby Chiu expressed doubt about Gu Zhiqi’s words.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t bother to explain further to Chubby Chiu and simply exited WeChat without responding to Chubby Chiu’s messages.
Chubby Chiu also knew that if Gu Zhiqi didn’t want to reply, no amount of messages would make a difference, so he didn’t send any more messages to Gu Zhiqi but went to take orders instead.
Chubby Chiu declared that he hadn’t yet gathered 9 billion and couldn’t let Zhizhi be the only one busy; he also had to work hard to earn money to trigger the Level Four Mission status sooner.
As soon as Gu Zhiqi walked into Mengyang Entertainment’s lobby, she encountered Li Xiao, who had been sent by Gu Mengyang to pick her up.
Gu Zhiqi remembered that this person was Gu Mengyang’s assistant.
Li Xiao first took Gu Zhiqi to the lounge and pushed the milk tea and pastries on the table towards her, "President Gu asked me to prepare these for you in advance."
Gu Zhiqi looked at the milk tea and pastries on the table, her eyes brightened slightly, "Thank you."
"Miss Gu is too polite."
Gu Zhiqi didn’t say anything more and began drinking her milk tea.
"Miss Gu, please have a seat for a while, President Gu will be over after he finishes his paperwork."
"Mm," Gu Zhiqi nodded without saying anything further.
"If there’s nothing else, may I leave?" Li Xiao asked Gu Zhiqi with a questioning tone.
"I have a question for you," Gu Zhiqi swallowed the milk tea in her mouth and turned her head to speak to Li Xiao.
At her words, Li Xiao’s eyes took on a questioning look, "Ask away."
"Do you know Meng Xiao?"
Li Xiao found Gu Zhiqi’s question a bit odd, "Why would Miss Gu suddenly ask about her?"
Of course, Gu Zhiqi didn’t answer Li Xiao’s question, but with eyes full of inquiry, she looked at him.
Li Xiao’s question was purely out of surprise and not an insistence on getting an answer from Gu Zhiqi. Seeing that she remained silent, Li Xiao continued, "Of course I know Meng Xiao. She’s a frontline celebrity of Mengyang Entertainment Group, quite the top star, but..."
As he spoke, Li Xiao slightly furrowed his brow, "Meng Xiao, she’s dead. Died just a few days ago." He then looked at Gu Zhiqi, "This case even hit the trending searches, just in these past couple of days, the heat has yet to cool down. Didn’t you know about this, Miss Gu?"
Gu Zhiqi shook her head, indicating she really didn’t know.
The news of Meng Xiao’s death was something Gu Mengyang had told her, but whether it went viral or not, Gu Zhiqi hadn’t paid attention.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi shake her head, Li Xiao sighed softly, "Meng Xiao was a talent of the company, a top star at that. Her death is a significant loss for the company."
Gu Zhiqi took a sip of milk tea and continued to inquire of Li Xiao, "What about Qiao Nan? Are you familiar with her?"
At Gu Zhiqi’s question, Li Xiao looked at her with a peculiar expression, "Qiao Nan? Shouldn’t you be more familiar with her than I am?"
Could it be that Li Xiao knew about her habit of frequently watching Qiao Nan’s food videos?
