Chapter 6: Seven Days of Love

……

"Alice, can you stay?"

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun obviously felt the tremor of the delicate body in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Bruce, but I decided to go back anyway. America is not for me. Besides, we're too different in age!"

"It's only seven years old, which is not a big number. There are a lot of people in the world who are married in their teens, you... ”

"I'm sorry, I really can't take it!"

Yang Lishan interrupted him.

From Bruce's memories before, Guo Shouyun understands that this Chinese girlfriend from Taiwan~Bay is very traditional in her bones. Moreover, he is also very aware of what it means in traditional Chinese thinking that a woman is seven years older than a man.

Guo Shouyun sighed deeply. Before he was reborn, Bruce had already argued with Yang Lishan many times on this topic. But this stubborn woman in her arms will not let go of her mouth even if she lives or dies. Now, he has inherited Bruce's memories, but also his emotions. But compared with the simple and unworldly Bruce Guo, Guo Shouyun, who has 35 years of social experience, is undoubtedly more calm in dealing with feelings. It's also easier to accept things that divide and merge.

"Did you pass your master's thesis?"

"Professor Joseph has called me, and the diploma will be sent in three days!"

"And when are you leaving?"

"I've booked a flight from San Francisco to Taiwan ~ North in a week!"

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Yang Lishan showed a hint of hesitation on her face, but quickly became firm.

"My grandmother is not in good health, and I hope to go back to see her sooner. ”

Under this answer, Guo Shouyun couldn't say anything to persuade except for pity. has been dating Yang Lishan for more than a year, and he knows that the grandmother who raised her since she was a child has the same status in her heart as the grandparents who took care of her growing up have the same status in her heart. This bond cannot be severed under any circumstances.

"Let's finish eating!"

After a long time, Guo Shouyun said slowly.

If he hadn't known that twenty years, maybe he would have chosen love at this moment. But now, instead of having a long relationship with his children, he needs the huge platform of the United States to realize his life ideals.

Yang Lishan's eyes showed a faint disappointment. People are selfish, and she also hopes that Guo Shouyun can go back with her.

"Good!"

"Let's go to the Greek restaurant in Palo Aldo, where we first met!"

Yang Lishan nodded.

The two held hands and returned to the downstairs of Guo Shouyun's dormitory, and drove together to the dining place. As one of the best restaurants in Palo Alto, Evvia Estiatorio is not only on the Michelin Magazine list, but also has regulars like Steve Jobs, the soul of Apple. As a result, business here is especially brisk at night. If you don't book a table in advance, you'll have to wait a while.

The grade is high, and of course the price is not cheap. The Western food for the two plus a portion of Napa red wine cost Guo Shouyun nearly 500 dollars.

"Can you sing for me again? I like to hear your voice!"

Facing the beautiful woman's longing eyes, Guo Shouyun nodded after a slight hesitation.

At the beginning, his predecessor Bruce used a classic song by the Carpenter band 'Yesterday Reappearing' to impress Yang Lishan, who came to the restaurant with friends for dinner. Coupled with excellent knowledge and handsome appearance, he won the Stanford University medical school flower that all other boys admire.

Get up and walk to the stage in the center of the restaurant, where the resident singer who has just finished singing is resting.

"Hello, can I borrow your guitar and sing a song to my girlfriend?"

The young singer with broken hair and some punk style looked at Yang Lishan, who was looking at this side not far away, nodded to Guo Shouyun with a smile, and took the $20 tip from Guo Shouyun.

"Of course!"

In fact, they often encounter situations like this when guests come up to sing. In cases where a tip is available, it is natural not to refuse.

took the guitar in the other party's hand, walked to the center of the stage, adjusted the microphone, plucked the strings twice, and adjusted the timbre, Guo Shouyun sat down on the barstool.

I have in mind the tracks that I know.

Bruce Kwok is a guitar master, so he has a lot of classic songs stored in his memory. However, Guo Shouyun didn't plan to sing these, but chose a song that has just been released and is also his favorite English love song in his previous life: the love classic "Only Love" by the German "True Love Mark" Orchestra!

“Two.a.m.and the rain is falling…。 ”

After brewing his emotions for a while, accompanied by beautiful chords and inheriting Bruce Guo's magnetic voice, Guo Shouyun instantly attracted the attention of most people in the restaurant as soon as he opened his mouth.

This song "Only Love", which is called a classic along with famous songs such as "Yesterday Again" and "When I Fell in Love", naturally has a charm that overturns the world. When Guo Shouyun's emotions were gradually immersed in it, the feelings in the lyrics were also narrated in his singing. In the slightly quiet restaurant, it is like a cup of warm milk tea in winter, caressing everyone's hearts and arousing the memories and yearning of everyone present for the beauty of love.

“… That's something only love can do！”

"Whoa...!"

When the song ended, everyone in the restaurant was silent for a moment before they reacted and gave enthusiastic applause.

Guo Shouyun stood up and bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and returned the guitar to the young lead singer next to him.

"Brother, you sang so well just now!"

"Thank you!"

"Can you tell me the name of this song?"

"Of course. … It's called Only Love, a single from a German orchestra!"

"Okay, I remember. Oh, yes, my name is Amy Namm!"

"Bruce Kwok!"

Leaving his name, Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, and walked off the stage.

returned to his seat and looked at Yang Lishan's slightly red eyes that had obviously cried.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Bruce, let's go!"

Yang Lishan, who was moved to tears by the beautiful lyrics, looked at the man opposite, and her eyes revealed something strange.

"Good!"

After being stunned for a moment, Guo Shouyun did not object.

After settling the bill, the two got into the car, "I'll send you back to the dormitory." ”

"No, I don't want to go back to the dorm!"

Yang Lishan unexpectedly refused.

Looking at the passion surging in her eyes, Guo Shouyun understood. He is not a junior brother, and before he was reborn, it was not that Bruce and Yang Lishan had done nothing.

Guo Shouyun, who was gradually heating up in his heart, started the accelerator and drove the car to a hotel near Stanford. Then, everything that should have happened happened.

For the next week, the two lived together. Maybe it's because they think they're going to separate soon, so both of them are particularly obsessed. But the time to get together is always short, and the day of parting will come eventually.

On that day, the two refused all their friends, and Guo Shouyun sent Yang Lishan to the airport alone.

"Alice, can you wait for me for three years?"

Thinking of the joys of these days, although he knew that there was little hope, Guo Shouyun finally wanted to redeem it.

"I don't know!"

Seeing her shake her head with a confused look on her face, Guo Shouyun couldn't help but be disappointed in her heart. But he also knew that he was asking too much. Women are no better than men, and the golden age is only a few years. It's gone, and it won't come back.

"Have a nice trip!"

Yang Lishan looked at his reluctant smile, and didn't say anything after he stopped talking for a while. After a little hesitation, he nodded his head a little, and then dragged his suitcase and walked into the waiting hall step by step.

Watching her slender and beautiful back gradually disappear and then disappear, Guo Shouyun's heart was filled with a strong sense of loss.

"I didn't expect to be reborn and become a single dog. But that's fine, let's go all out for the rest of the day!"

"Jingle bell...!"

Guo Shouyun, who heard the ringing, took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Guo Shouyun?"

"I am!"

"I'm James, the account manager of Wells Fargo, your loan and consulting business with us have been completed, you see when you have time to come over, let's sign the contract together!"

"I have time right now. ”

Guo Shouyun was shocked in his heart and hurriedly said.

"It's 2:20 p.m., so let's meet at the reception on the third floor of the Wells Fargo Building in San Francisco at 3 o'clock?"

"Okay!"

"See you later!"

"See you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun turned around and took a deep look at the busy waiting hall, took a deep breath, turned around resolutely, and left the airport in great strides. Now he doesn't have much time to focus on his children's relationship. If it weren't for Yang Lishan leaving, he wouldn't have spent most of the week on her.

However, although most of his time these days is spent with Yang Lishan, he has not done nothing in between.

"Mr. Guo, according to our assessment of Guo's Farm, if you use it as collateral, you can get a loan of $4 million. ”

Four million! That's about 60 percent of the value of the entire farm. According to the lending ratio of the mortgage, it is already considered good.

"What about interest rates?"

“4.69%！”

Real estate-backed commercial loans are not very risky, so the interest rate is not too high.

"All the key terms are in the contract, and if you don't think it's a problem, sign it later. After about three business days, the loan will be credited to your Wells Fargo account. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, carefully examined the content of the contract, and signed his name on the back.

"Plus, here's the evaluation report you want about Google!"

Guo Shouyun's heart was hot, and his subordinates took it over with a bit of urgency.

Wells Fargo, as one of the top large commercial banks in the United States, is not much worse than the five largest investment banks on Wall Street in terms of business consulting. The data in this report, especially the analysis of Google's value, is accurate, and that's exactly what Guo wants at the moment.

"The consultation fee was deducted from my account. ”

After briefly skimming through a few key figures in the report, Guo Shouyun stood up with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Guo, if you have any business consulting and financial needs, you can contact me. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, and walked out of the Wells Fargo office building in San Francisco, accompanied by the other party.
