Chapter 478: Sinners?
Wu Tian left the old place after saying those words to Gu Yu, he left Gu Yu there alone, not because he didn't have grace, but because reality made him have to do this. He knows very well what the Gu family thinks, at this time, he can't be hot-headed, he must maintain a resolute attitude, otherwise, the Gu family will come to him again and again for help, he must stop the Gu family's non-divisive ideas, otherwise it will bring more trouble to himself.
Moreover, Wu Tian also looked down on these things done by the Gu family, so he didn't think about it, and actually played some side ways, which was really disgraceful! I don't know which bastard came up with the solution, he actually asked Gu Yu to beg him, if he let Wu Tian know, he had to dial the other party's skin.
It is not easy to refuse Gu Yu, and in the face of such a poor woman, anyone will be soft-hearted. Fortunately, what the other party begged him was something he couldn't do, otherwise it would be really difficult to decide. However, this is also in line with Wu Tian's intentions, so that he has a reason to reject the other party, and he is no longer entangled in whether to reject the other party. He thought very clearly, Gu Yu was now a tool for the Gu family, and Gu Yu didn't want to come to him for the Gu family's affairs, so his refusal was more of a rejection of the Gu family, and he used guò to express his attitude towards the Gu family and Gu Yu. As a person who has been hurt by the Gu family, it is already very good if he does not fall into the well at this moment, and no matter how much he asks, it is excessive.
Wu Tian still has a lot to do, so he went back to the company after leaving the 'old place'. Compared with the entanglement when I came, when I went back. He looks a lot more energetic, as you can tell from the drive. Although he still had thoughts of one kind or another in his head, at least they didn't confuse him. It won't divert his attention, and the road killer won't exist.
After Wu Tian left, Gu Yu sat in the seat for a long time, her eyes kept looking out the window, at first watching Wu Tian drive away, and then she kept looking at the direction where the beetle disappeared, as if something was attracting her attention there. She couldn't take her eyes back for a long time.
A lonely woman, looking into the distance with a lonely expression, what a heart-warming picture. What's more, it happened to a beautiful woman? So, everyone in the café was attracted to her. She looked at him, and others looked at her.
Just then, a man in his early twenties came down from the upper floor. Then sat opposite Gu Yu. The man coughed first, then looked at Gu Yu and asked, "Sister, Wu Shao, did he agree?" ”
This man is not the one who came to talk to him, but Gu Yu's younger brother, and asking the Wu family for help is not a trivial matter in the eyes of the Gu family, it is a major matter that can decide the entire Gu family, so naturally he can't be neglected. In fact, the Gu family wanted to come. But the older generation can't pull their faces, and the peers have no friendship with Wu Tian. In the end, he could only send the youngest person to drive the car, and hid upstairs when Gu Yu and Wu Tian met.
Gu Yu came back to his senses after hearing this, turned his head to look at the man opposite, then shook his head lightly, and said, "No." ”
"Huh?" Hearing the news, Gu Qiang's facial features suddenly crowded together, revealing a constipated look, "Sister, what's going on with Wu Shao?" Didn't he die and live with love for you in the first place? Even in the past five years, there is still an old relationship, right? How could he be so embarrassed to refuse? Didn't you make it clear to him? ”
Gu Yu glanced at the other party, then stood up and walked out.
Only then did Gu Qiang realize that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly stood up from the table and chased after him, "Sister, I'm sorry, I said something wrong." ”
Gu Yu didn't say anything and got into the car directly.
Gu Qiang also got into the car, started the car and drove home, but his mood looked very depressed, while driving, he looked at his sister sitting in the back mirror through the guò rearview mirror, and said, "Sister, everyone in the family is waiting for our news, now Wu Shao has not promised to help our Gu family, how can we tell my father after we go back?" ”
"Tell me the truth." After hearing this, Gu Yu said lightly, "Is there anything else difficult about this?" ”
"Of course it's difficult, the family has pinned their hopes on the Wu family, and now Wu Shao has not agreed, and there is no hope for our father's promotion." Gu Qiang said, "I don't have anything, I have made a lot of money over the years, it's a big deal to immigrate." But Dad and they definitely don't think so, you know, Dad hasn't moved his position for many years, and now he finally has a chance, and the hope of the whole family is on it. ”
"Flowers bloom, natural principles, no one can change." Gu Yu thought of what Wu Tian had said to her.
That being said, but who wants to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? After all, not everyone qualifies as a candidate. If my father can be promoted, although our Gu family can't be as good as when my grandfather was alive, we can at least guarantee that we won't be bullied. Sister, although you have been in Canada all these years, you should also know that our Gu family has offended many people, and they are all waiting to see our Gu family's good show. Dad's age is not too young, and he will retire in a few years, and when the time comes, our Gu family will be in danger. ”
Gu Yu didn't say anything after hearing it, her eyes looked out the window, in five years, the capital has become strange to her.
Gu Qiang didn't hear his sister speak, so he glanced in the rearview mirror and found that his sister's mind didn't seem to be on what he said, so he sighed secretly. Although he made an indifferent appearance just now, who can really let it go? He has lived under a big tree since he was a child, and with a big tree to shelter him from the wind and rain, he can enjoy a qiē comfortably. But once the tree is gone, he will be blown by the wind and rain, who wants to be so downcast?
The reason why he said so much just now was that he hoped that his sister could talk to Wu Shao again, after all, the Gu family really had no other way. As soon as the old man died, the relationship between the Wu family and the Gu family faded, and the only people who could have a relationship with each other were Gu Yu and Wu Shao, who were childhood sweethearts, and they had to make good use of this relationship. How can people be ruthless? Could it be that Wu Tian could watch Gu Yu and the Gu family become downcast? Although he knew very well that his sister didn't want to beg Wu Shao, there was no way to do it.
But now I see my sister's situation. He knew that his sister's mind was not on this matter, so he didn't say anything anymore and sighed deeply. Let's go back to my father and let him make a decision.
Ten minutes later, the car slowly entered the compound guarded by soldiers, and finally stopped outside a villa with red bricks and green tiles.
Gu Qiang got out of the car and was about to enter the house, but found that his sister was still sitting in the car door, so he walked over. Stretched out his hand and knocked on the window, saying, "Sister." It's home. ”
Gu Yu was slightly stunned, glanced out the window, and then opened the door and got out of the car.
"Sister, are you okay?" Gu Qiang looked at his sister worriedly and asked. Although he didn't agree when he found a foreigner in Gu Yu. But after all, it is his own sister and is related by blood.
Gu Yu shook his head lightly and said, "I'm fine." Then he walked towards the villa.
When the two walked into the house, they found that the living room was full of people, the second uncle and aunt, as well as the aunt and uncle, and several brothers and sisters. Except for the older generation who did not come. The other members of the Gu family came.
I don't know what everyone was talking about before I went in, and my expressions looked very strict. After seeing Gu Yu and Gu Qiang, everyone looked over.
"You're back!" Gu Yu's mother looked at her daughter and son and said.
"How about it, Wu Tian, did he agree?" Gu Yu's second uncle Gu Mingyang asked Gu Yu directly anxiously, while the others also looked at Gu Yu and Gu Qiang with anticipation.
Facing her family's expectations, Gu Yu wanted to nod, but reality had to make her shake her head, "No." Gu Yu said.
Hearing her words, everyone frowned, if everyone was very strict before, then now, their expressions became solemn.
"Doesn't he show any signs of letting up?" Gu Mingyang asked, "If he has any requests, even if he can mention them to us, our Gu family can meet him." ”
"Second uncle, do you think the Wu family lacks something?" Gu Yu asked.
After Gu Mingyang heard this, he was speechless. Yes, what kind of family is the Wu family? That is a real famous family, if all the families in the capital form a pyramid, their Gu family is now the lowest level, if not the bottom, but also the lowest layers. And what about the Wu family? It's top-notch. If they didn't even have the Wu family, would they have the Gu family? Are you kidding. If the Gu family is really that good, there is no need to ask the Wu family now.
"Our Gu family can support their Wu family." Gu Yu's eldest aunt Gu Minghui said, "If their Wu family supports the eldest brother, then our Gu family will have a member of the Military Commission, plus the deputy minister of the second brother, among the many forces in the capital, it will not be small." ”
Gu Yu didn't say anything more, since the Wu family didn't want to help the Gu family, it meant that the Wu family didn't look down on the Gu family's strength at all. What about a member of the Military Commission and a deputy minister? The Wu family has no shortage of such people at all. What's more, if you support the Gu family, you will offend many other families, why should you offend so many people for the sake of a person with little hope? Gu Yu believes that she can understand such a simple truth, and the second uncle and their elders can also see it, after all, after staying in the officialdom for so many years, is she not even as good as a person outside the officialdom?
Opinionated! This is what Gu Yu thought of, although it is not good, but the second generation of these elders of the Gu family is indeed the case. Especially when grandpa was still alive, they relied on grandpa's high rank and did a lot of things that offended people, and now that grandpa is gone, not only did not restrain himself, but still maintained this attitude, could it be that the Wu family has used their Gu family to support them all these years? No! But not at the top of the pyramid?
Gu Yu wanted to say to her eldest aunt, 'Haven't you seen yourself and the Gu family clearly?' Such a thing, but after all, the other party is her elder, so she can't say such a thing.
"Big brother, why don't you go find Wu Guanzhi and talk to him in person?" Gu Yu's little aunt Gu Minghua looked at Gu Yu's father and said.
"Yes, big brother, then Wu Tian is just a child, even if he agrees, he may not be able to convince his father, we might as well go directly to Wu Guanzhi, our Gu family has power in several provinces, I don't believe that Wu Guanzhi doesn't look down on it at all." Gu Minghui said, "As long as the eldest brother can be promoted, he can work for a few more years, and the second brother and we may be able to go further, and also win enough time for our next generation to develop, so that we can do it." The glory of our Gu family will be able to continue. ”
"Big brother, our Gu family has reached the last moment, for you to be promoted. No matter how much you trade, it's worth it. ”
"The final candidate will be announced after the year, and there is still more than a month for us, big brother, you can't hesitate any longer, hurry up and find Wu Guanzhi. If Wu Guanzhi does not agree, we can also make other choices. After all, this matter means a lot to our Gu family. You can't just hang yourself from a tree. If the Wu family can't look down on our Gu family, in this capital, there will always be someone who can look down on our Gu family. Big brother, aren't you good with the Bai family? ”
Gu Yu watched coldly from the sidelines. She didn't say anything. The conversation between the elders, the juniors can't interject, unless you have the ability and mix to a certain position, you are not qualified. It's a pity that none of the juniors present are qualified.
However, if she doesn't speak, she doesn't speak, and she still has a lot of opinions about several elders. Especially what my aunt said. Defecting to the Wu family or not succeeding to defecting to the Bai family? How is this different from betrayal? Everyone in the capital knows that the relationship between the Wu family and the Bai family is not good. If it is thrown into the Bai family. It is equivalent to being the enemy of the Wu family. Moreover, it is impossible for the Bai family to regard their Gu family as the core, to be precise, the people on both sides will not be sincerely accepted. The reason why the Gu family has come to this point is because of this wavering attitude, not only her aunt, but also her father. Doing so will certainly be left and right, but when it comes to the critical moment, no one will help you, just like now!
"Okay, I'll think about it. It's getting late, so let's all go back. Gu Minglin, who had not spoken, finally spoke, his expression had been very solemn, and he didn't say anything, so no one knew what was going on in his heart. This made the rest of the Gu family very anxious, after all, as soon as the old man Gu left, as the eldest son and the highest-ranking person, he became the pillar and soul of the Gu family, the new head of the Gu family.
"Big brother......!"
"Let's all go back." Gu Minglin said, his voice raised a few points.
Hearing the words of the eldest brother, the others also knew that it was useless to say more, shaking their heads and sighing and sighing, and finally had to leave.
Although it was time for dinner, no one in the Gu family's current situation had any appetite. Therefore, I didn't leave everyone here to eat.
After everyone was gone, Gu Minglin stood up and walked towards the study.
"Gu Yu, come to the study."
Gu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then followed his father into the study.
In fact, as the head of the family, no one is under more pressure than Gu Minglin now. Compared with the other younger siblings, don't look at him and don't speak, but he has been thinking of ways to solve the crisis that the Gu family is currently experiencing. The old man is gone, he must go up, otherwise the Gu family will decline, and he will become a sinner of the Gu family, and he will not be able to explain to the ancestors of the Gu family on the other side.
Gu Minglin sat down on the chair, looked at the woman standing opposite the desk, and said lightly, "Sit down." ”
Gu Yu nodded, sat down, and asked, "Dad, what's the matter with me entering the study?" ”
"What do you think of what your uncle and aunt just said?" Gu Minglin asked.
Gu Yu was stunned, but she didn't expect her father to call her to the study, but to ask about it, Gu Yu shook her head and said, "I don't have any opinion." ”
"No view? Don't you want to say it? Gu Minglin said, "In this study, there are only two of us, what do you think in your heart, just say it boldly, it's okay."
"I know what the second uncle and aunt said because they were in a hurry, so I really don't have any opinion on what they said." Gu Yu said lightly.
Gu Minglin looked at his daughter with a flat face, sighed softly, knowing that his daughter didn't want to say, so he could only change the topic and asked, "What did he tell you when you met Wu Tian?" ”
"It's cold in the heights!" Gu Yu thought for a while and said.
"It's cold in the heights? Yes, it's cold in the heights. But if you stand on a low place, how can you see the scenery in the distance? Gu Minglin said. Power will make people's desires continue to increase, and after being obsessed, they will only want to have more power, which is why so many people are desperately trying to climb up.
"Dad, you misunderstood. Wu Tian means that the Gu family does not have the strength to compete with others for this position now, if they are pushed up, they will only become the target of others' attacks, and when they fall in the end, the fall will be more painful. It's better to have a non-confrontational attitude, at least not to set up more enemies. Gu Yu said.
"No quarrel with the world? How could it be that easy? Gu Minglin said with a wry smile, "I have come all the way to the present, every time I am promoted to the next level, I have to pass five levels and kill six generals, in this process, I don't know how many enemies I have set up, if I can't be promoted this time, I will retire in two years, and then the Gu family will have no one who can preside over the overall situation, do you think they will let our Gu family go?" ”
"Dad, I don't think it's possible. If everyone who retires has to worry about what you said, wouldn't those retired old cadres be in chaos a long time ago? ”
"Daughter, you didn't understand what Daddy said. Dad meant that the benefits that our Gu family had gained over the years would be divided by them. How many of those benefits do you think have seen the light? When the time comes, we can only smash our teeth and swallow them in our stomachs. ”
