Chapter 30 Young Love

……

Thorn Bird Publishing Company, Guo Shouyun invested 5.5 million pounds, accounting for 55 percent of the shares, Christopher Ritter invested 2.5 million pounds, accounting for 25 percent of the shares, Rowling invested 1.5 million pounds, accounting for 15 percent of the shares, and Neil Murray invested 500,000 pounds, accounting for 5 percent of the shares! Neil's money was temporarily paid by Guo Shouyun, which of course could not be written in the contract.

As for Rowling, in the current situation of marriage and love in the West, even if she is married, she is not obliged to pay 500,000 pounds for Neil. What's more, now the two are not married at all, and their finances are separated from each other.

After the company was founded, Christopher Ritter served as the company's CEO. Guo Shouyun is the chairman, and Rowling and Neil Murray are non-executive directors, who send representatives to oversee the company's finances and operations, but are not directly involved in management.

Once the contract is signed, the business is over. Guo Shouyun and Christopher Ritter also have the meaning of saying goodbye. And Molly Bevan, who came with Guo Shouyun, of course, also had to leave with him.

In the evening, Guo Shouyun drove Molly Bevan to the place where she had been in the car.

"Thank you for sending me back!"

"Molly, I'm probably leaving Exeter tomorrow. Can I give you a hug before leaving?"

Looking at the longing in the eyes of the tall and handsome man in front of her, Molly Bevan's soft and pretty face showed hesitation. She is grateful that the other party can make her friends with her idol, but she has almost never had too close contact with boys, and it is difficult for her to really make up her mind to agree.

However, in Guo Shouyun's view, Molly Bevan's failure to refuse immediately is a kind of acquiescence in disguise. As a boy, it is natural for him to take the initiative. Therefore, after taking a step forward, at the moment before Molly Bevan could react, he was strongly hugged into his arms.

In a panic, Molly Bevan almost subconsciously began to resist, but her strength was Guo Shouyun's opponent.

"Let go of me!"

"Just one minute, I'll let you go in a minute, really!" Guo Shouyun hurriedly reassured.

"If you don't let go of me in a minute, I'll call someone!" After really unable to break free of Guo Shouyun's strong arm, Molly Bevan said a little angrily.

It's a pity that Molly Bevan, who has been strictly controlled by her father since she was a child and has hardly been in love, doesn't know that in many cases, the words in a man's mouth are often unreliable.

Therefore, after noticing that Molly Bevan no longer resisted, Guo Shouyun enjoyed the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms with peace of mind, and as for the promise of one minute, he had already been thrown out of the clouds.

Molly Bevan passively clinged to Guo Shouyun's broad and muscular arms. Feeling the strong and powerful heartbeat of the other party, and a different kind of masculinity, a strange feeling that she had never felt before flooded from the bottom of her heart. This feeling made her panic and made her a little breathless. But it also gave her some enjoyment that she didn't expect!

"Is a minute up?"

After half a ring, Molly Bevan asked in a trembling voice.

"No, it's early!"

"No, you lied to me. Let go of me, it's too late to go back, Daddy will be angry!"

This time Molly Bevan's struggle, Guo Shouyun did not stop it again. There are some means that can be used to chase girls, but many times you have to know how to stop in moderation. Otherwise, it will only be counterproductive.

Hurriedly took a few steps back, tidied up the scattered hair, and smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes, Jasmine Bewen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to look at Guo Shouyun's eyes, and after dropping a sentence, she turned around and wanted to leave.

"I'll go first!"

"Wait a minute!"

Quickly grabbing the other party's left hand, Guo Shouyun took out a small box from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand.

"It's a gift for you!"

"No, I can't!"

"Good night!"

Before Molly Bevan stuffed the box back, Guo Shouyun had already retreated and walked back into the car.

"Remember to contact later!"

After raising his right hand and making a phone call gesture in his ear, Guo Shouyun rolled up the window and left.

Looking at the car in the distance, and then at the small blue box in her hand, Molly Bevan hesitated for a moment and put it in her pocket.

The junction is not far from Bevan's Bar, a maximum of five minutes' walk. Because the Exeter City football team has all ended this year's games. The major leagues have also entered a period of recuperation. So, there weren't many customers in the bar.

"Molly, have you eaten dinner?"

Old Beiwen, who was serving wine to the guests, saw his daughter enter the door and hurriedly said with concern.

"Dad, Judith and I have eaten out... Need me help you?"

"No, go up and rest. There aren't many guests today, and Alexander and I are enough. ”

Hearing the boss mention himself, a black guy who was cleaning up the garbage on the table smiled and waved at Molly.

Molly Bevan nodded to the other party, then turned to his father and said, "Then I'll go up first!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Got it!"

After agreeing, Molly Bevan came to her room on the second floor with light steps, closed the door, lay on her back on the bed for a while, and involuntarily appeared in her mind, the young figure who was full of contradictory temperament mixed with the vigor of youth and the vicissitudes of the world.

Thinking of the last hug, and the different feeling that came from the bottom of her heart, Molly Bevan felt her body slightly hot.

"Is this what the book says about what it's like to be in love?" As soon as the thought came to mind, Molly Bevan quickly shook her head, "No way, I've only known him for less than a week, how can I like him." ”

After lying on the bed for a moment in a flustered and conflicted state, feeling something strange underneath her, Molly Bevan reached out and took out the small blue box that Guo Shouwen gave her when he finally left.

After a little hesitation and a little anticipation, a pair of exquisite ruby earrings appeared in her eyes under the pale yellow light of the bedroom.

"It's beautiful!"

Molly Bevan subconsciously came up with these three words in her mind.

Women are born with a love for jewelry, and Molly Bevan is no exception. However, in addition to being beautiful, she can also see that this pair of earrings is worth a lot of money.

Of course, Guo Shouyun, who sent the things, was not there, and she couldn't find a way to return it for the time being. What's more, she also loves these ruby earrings.

"Next time we meet, I'll give him another gift of similar value!"

Thinking of this, the entanglement in Molly Bevan's heart suddenly disappeared by half.

……

"Why are you back so soon?"

Seeing Guo Shouyun who opened the door and came in, Christopher Ritter was surprised.

"If you don't come back, do I still have to spend the night outside?" Guo Shouyun glanced at him angrily.

"Isn't it? Bevin is so beautiful, you can bear it?"

Christopher had a smile on his face that a man would know.

"If she's really my girlfriend, I know what to do without you saying it. But I can't sin yet, right?" after a pause, "by the way, book me a plane ticket from London to San Francisco tomorrow afternoon." ”

"You want to go back?"

"Well, this time in the UK, everything that needs to be done is done, and it's time to go back home. There's a lot of work to be done in the U.S.... How about you, do you want to come with me?"

"Nope. I'm going to stay in London for a few more days. Deal with the Publishing Economics Company!" Christopher shook his head.

"Okay, then I won't wait for you!"

"You're gone, what about your little girlfriend? When you're at Rowling's house, I think you like her a lot!"

The movements in Guo Shouyun's hand stopped, and after a moment of silence, he said in a calm tone: "Christopher, when I was young, my adoptive father once said to me that 'you can't get fish and bear's paws at the same time, you can only choose one to take away'!"

Very philosophical sentence. So, are you going to choose a career and give up love?" said Christopher Ritter.

What I want to say is that career is the most important thing for me now, but it doesn't mean giving up love. It's just that in the future, 80% of my energy will be focused on my career, and love will be on the back burner. ”

"What if you put in 20% of your energy and don't get the love you want?"

"Then it can only mean that that is not the relationship I really want!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun said calmly.

“… Okay, I'm not going to tell you that. I'm going to say goodbye to Rowling tomorrow and go to London to get an early rest. You should go to bed early, too. ”

"I'll rest after watching the first part of your National Treasure!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, turned around and went back to his room.

After making a special trip to Rowling's house to say goodbye to the other party, Guo Shouyun transferred to London. Because Christopher didn't book a plane ticket to San Francisco today. So, he was going to spend one night in London.

At noon, after checking in at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel again, Guo Shouyun, who was about to go down for lunch, just walked to the hotel lobby and was stopped by the lobby manager.

"Hello sir. Are you Mr. Bruce Kwok?"

"I am!"

"Did you check in with us fifteen days ago?"

"That's right, I stayed with you for four days half a month ago!"

"That's right! We have here a postcard from a gentleman surnamed Chen, and he has given us a special explanation, and if we see you again, we must hand it over to you personally!"

"Surname Chen?" After thinking for a while, Guo Shouyun suddenly said, "Is his name Chen Zhen?"

"Yes!"

The lobby manager thought about it and nodded affirmatively.

"Where's the thing?"

"Please wait a minute, I'll fetch it for you!"

"Okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Looking at the lobby manager who turned around and left, Guo Shouyun remembered the young man who had known each other for less than a day, and had a straightforward personality after fighting and entering the class room.

Because his mobile phone was broken during a fight in the restaurant, he didn't leave the contact information of the other party later. He soon switched to Exeter with Christopher, and he forgot about Rowling. After all, everyone met in Pingshui and didn't have a deep friendship, and Guo Shouyun didn't take it too seriously.

However, he never thought that the other party would remember him, which made him a little ashamed.
