Chapter Twenty-Three: Turning into a Dragon
The girl smiled and said to Gu Yang: "My name is Xianxue, and my mother's name is Lingjing, how about it, Gu Dacai, can you make it?" β
While saying this, Gu Yang glanced at Zhao Ziqiang's wife looking at his daughter out of the corner of his eye, her face was a little disgusted, but she didn't speak, she faintly guessed her thoughts, the corners of her eyebrows rose, and she slowly spit out words in her mouth: "Xianxue, Lingjing, these two words are indeed not easy, well......"
He was very slow to pronounce words, and it took a second or two for a word to come out of his mouth, buying himself time.
Seeing that Gu Yang was stuck, Zhao Xianxue's expression was a little proud: "How about it, do you want to come out?" β
She didn't have any ill will towards Gu Yang at all, she just thought it was very interesting to do so, and she also liked to see the embarrassed expression of the young man with good demeanor and temperament opposite.
Frowning for a few seconds, the young man's expression suddenly relaxed, and when he thought of something, the corners of his mouth pulled up a hint of a smile: "Yes, the moon spirit washes the quiet snow, and the skin of the virtuous woman is clean." If you don't think well, please forgive me. β
At this moment, the time is so short that the smug look on Zhao Xianxue's face has not faded, and she learned this answer, and her brain has not yet reacted, her lips are lightly opened, and she looks very cute.
The prank idea in her heart fell through, and she couldn't think of any other words to continue to entangle for a while, and her mind was messed up, and she said casually: "Forget you." Then he sat down.
Gu Yang just smiled lightly, drank the beer in the cup, and as the liquor flowed down his throat and into his stomach, his face became more and more calm.
This is the end of the wine party.
There was a plate of fruit on the table, and everyone smiled and divided, because of Gu Yang's actions before, the boundary between dignity and inferiority on the table was much lighter, and there was no courteous flattery, and he was relaxed and finished the meal with laughter.
At the door of the brightly lit hotel, the three senior leaders in the company all let their drivers drive them away, only Gu Yang's family and Zhao Ziqiang's family were still standing there, saying some decent words, such as this wine is very happy, next time we get together, etc., Gu Yang did not show any impatient expression, just listened quietly, waiting for the elders' words to end.
After saying a few words, Zhao Ziqiang suddenly turned his head and said to Gu Yang: "Gu Yang's literary talent is so strong, I don't know how the high school entrance examination is, are you interested in being admitted to the thirteenth middle school?" β
Gu Yang was stunned, smiled lightly, and did not answer positively: "It is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to succeed in things, whether you can be admitted to the thirteenth middle school is not up to me, but by the teacher who marks the papers." β
The meaning of these words was unclear, but Zhao Ziqiang seemed to understand something, and said: "I know, then, Manager Gu, Mrs. Gu, classmate Gu, I will have time to meet in the future." β
βzaijianγβ
The Gu family said goodbye politely.
Seeing Zhao Ziqiang's family get into their luxury private car, and then looking at the old taxi they were about to take, Gu Yang didn't show a look of envy, and stepped into the carriage.
There will be milk, there will be bread, those earthly expensive things will one day be displayed in front of him, waiting to be chosen at will, but this is just the external material life, he actually doesn't care much, the important thing is that the dream he fought for will never fade.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, next to his mother Yang Luo, Gu Yang laboriously closed the door of the taxi, and his eyes swept away from the bright hotel street at will, with the slow movement of the vehicle, the scenery outside the window was also blurred, and the pupils kept changing.
"Yang'er, this dinner really depends on you, without you, this time the business is still not negotiable."
During the drive, Gu's father, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head, his face was full of crimson with wine, and sighed.
Gu Yang shook his head: "Actually, my role is just a catalyst, Uncle Zhao and they still intend to sign a contract with Dad." β
"Huh."
Gu Zhengming turned his head, lay down on the seat, and said in an emotional tone: "Actually, Dad is like a mirror in his heart, he understands everything, there are more than one or two companies that want to cooperate with Mr. Zhao, and there are three companies with similar strength as our company, but he just picked us, and this meal is the only reason." Yang'er, Dad has always been disappointed in you before, but today I found out that Dad was wrong. This time, Dad said that he would send you to the Thirteenth Middle School, it doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as you can become a talent, Dad is willing to spend this money. β
Hearing this, Gu Yang was both moved and speechless.
moved by Gu Zhengming's love for his son, and his hope that his son would become a talent at any cost; And what was speechless was that he said conclusively that he would definitely not be able to pass the thirteenth middle school, which was really a blow to him who felt very good.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"Dad, in fact, I think I did well in the exam, maybe I will be admitted in the future?"
He was still very cautious, and he didn't pat his chest 100% and say that he could easily be admitted to the prestigious school that countless people were chasing.
Gu Zhengming, who was sitting in front, waved his hand back, unable to swing in the air for a moment or two.
"Dad knows that you are comforting me, it's okay, this time the contract is signed, Dad is going to make a lot of money, it's a lot of money, you know? Even if the threshold of Thirteen Middle School is higher than the sky, Dad will definitely be able to smash this threshold with money. β
Regarding the words of Gu's father, a poor and rich local tyrant, Gu Yang could only say that he was speechless.
Anyway, there are still two days before the results of the high school entrance examination come out, and it's useless to argue here now, it's better to wait for the results to come out.
After being silent for a while, he hesitated and said: "Dad, I've been idle for the past few days, I opened a novel on the Internet, the website signed a contract, I used your ID card to sign the contract, the website is dusty, there is nothing wrong with the website, don't worry about me being deceived." β
Sooner or later, this matter will not be hidden, it is better to explain it clearly to your parents as soon as possible, so that they can be mentally prepared and not be caught off guard by that time.
Regarding his son's statement, the drunken Gu Zhengming smiled indifferently, and didn't care much: "Okay, I know, you can write, you should always have some free time to do something you love." β
The taxi sped down the road, throwing the shadowy lights behind them, like shaking off the shattered past.
At this moment, on another high-end car, Zhao Xianxue was coquettish with her mother and fell into her mother's arms.
"Mom, people know it's wrong, you shouldn't have made things difficult for that boy at that time, just forgive me."
Obviously, Zhao Ziqiang's wife settled the accounts after the autumn and began to talk about her daughter, but it seems that it was just a reminder, and she didn't mean to blame too much.
The graceful and luxurious Mother Zhao doted on her daughter very much, sighed helplessly, and lightly nodded on Zhao Xianxue's forehead: "I don't know when you will grow up, and I don't know who will worry about it in the future." β
Zhao Xianxue raised her smooth forehead, snorted lightly, her expression was disapproving, and she seemed to remember something, and asked Zhao Ziqiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Dad, just now at the door of the hotel, you talked to that boy, what do you understand, what do you understand?" β
Zhao Ziqiang looked at his daughter who was very interested in the rearview mirror, smiled lightly, and said, "What's the matter, interested?" β
"A little bit."
Zhao Xianxue raised her right hand, her thumb and index finger straight in parallel lines, and she seemed to be using gestures to tell her father that her curiosity was only so much.
"Hmm."
Zhao Ziqiang pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I know that Gu Yang has been admitted to the thirteenth middle school." β
"Hey, Dad, how do you know he's been admitted?"
Zhao Xianxue was obviously a little more interested.
"Have you noticed Gu Yang's expression?"
"Expressions?"
"Yes, emote."
Zhao Ziqiang's expression was a little emotional, and he couldn't say what he felt, "When he stood up to toast, I kept watching, his expression was always confident and calm, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes." This kind of person with a strong heart, even if Dad has seen countless young people in the company, he has not met a few, and in the end they can all become people who stand at the top of various industries. β
"Remember what I asked? What I asked was whether I was interested in being admitted to the 13th middle school, not whether I had the ability to be admitted to the 13th middle school, and there was a big difference between the ability and the meaning of the word interest. And Gu Yang replied that it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, it can be seen from this sentence that he is extremely confident in his own ability, and he feels that his strength has reached the limit, and he just needs to wait for the result. In other words, he thinks he's going to get in, you know? β
"Kind of understood."
Zhao Xianxue was a little dazed by her father's words, but Zuihou understood a word, and that was enough.
Zhao Ziqiang sighed, and there was no disappointment in his breath, but it was filled with some kind of inexplicable heat.
"From today's wine party, I can conclude that Gu Yang, a young man, may not be easy in the future, and I don't know where he will reach in the future, but one thing is certain, he is likely to transform into a dragon among people, and it can even be said that he is already on the road to becoming a dragon."
