Chapter 627: Hidden Merit and Fame
Early the next morning, Gu Youbian first made a good morning call with Wu Zhi, confirming that she no longer wanted to leave City A now, and finally hung up the phone with satisfaction and set off for the Gu Group headquarters building.
He had been away for a long time before, and most of the company's affairs were handled by Evergreen, and now it was time to go to the headquarters to take a look.
There should be some documents waiting to be signed by himself, and if Wu Zhizhi is retained, he should also devote himself to his work seriously.
But he never thought that he would see Gu Xinchen in his office.
In fact, strictly speaking, this office was originally Gu Xinchen's, and Gu Youbian only used it later.
The decoration of the entire office is still the same as Gu Xinchen was at that time.
At the entrance there is a living room, with a wine cabinet hidden in the wall, and next to it is a large bookcase that reaches to the ceiling, and the upper part is full of various collections of solitary books, parchment scrolls, silk and even bamboo slips.
The lower part is displayed with the famous watches collected by Gu Xinchen back then.
On the other side of the wall is a display case found with a glass cover, displaying antiquities from the previous year.
Among them, there is even an ancient weapon, which is said to be the sword of an ancient emperor, the hilt is graceful and luxurious, after many years, the blade is still as bright as yesterday, and it almost wants to break out of the cabinet under the cold light of the display cabinet, eating meat and drinking blood.
In the middle of the sofa is a circular display table with a height of one meter and three meters, and the outer ring is the shape of a coin that is no longer popular, surrounding a small booth in the middle.
The things placed on the booth Gu Youbian will never forget no matter what, it is a trophy that he has heard and seen, and he can see his name every time he looks over.
On it is the trophy that Li Siqiao has been the champion of the international jewelry design competition for three consecutive years - only three years, and in the fourth year, Li Siqiao has no longer participated in this competition.
The news she released to the outside world was that she didn't have time to participate, but only her family knew that she didn't have time, she just didn't want to bully young people anymore.
The trophy is always taken by himself, so wouldn't he give others a way out, so Li Siqiao stopped and withdrew in time.
After the incident, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden.
Basically, everyone who came to this office would be shocked by Gu Xinchen's small museum-like living room.
People stay here for a long time, and money, power, and ambition are literally drilled out of every open pore.
Avoid the light of the office, there are small ventilation windows on both sides of the office, and behind it is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can overlook the scenery of the entire city A, and the traffic slowly queuing up is like a small ant.
After Gu Youbian saw Gu Xinchen, he didn't immediately come forward to say hello, but walked into the living room and looked at the folder he had just sent over without saying a word.
Inside the folder are several contracts, financial statements, and several statements of significant asset changes.
Chang Qing looked at Gu Xinchen, then at Gu Youbian, and finally left the office, as soon as the door was closed, Gu Xinchen's voice came from behind the desk.
"Did you contact your mother?"
Since Li Siqiao knew that Gu Youbian deliberately ran to City C for a girl, he thought about gossiping about something all day long, and he shouted even more vigorously at home.
Presumably she knew that Gu Youbian was back, and she would be even happier, just to make his ears quiet, these days, in order to avoid Li Siqiao's nagging, while Gu Youbian was not in the company, he immediately found a reasonable reason to come to the company
Manage.
In fact, he hadn't had time to tell Li Siqiao about his return, but he didn't want to listen to Gu Xinchen continue to speak, so Gu Youbian responded.
"Hmm."
How could Gu Xinchen believe him, a pair of sharp eagle eyes immediately raised and looked at Gu Youbian on the sofa.
"Are you sure?"
Still a salty voice, "Hmm." ”
Hearing this, Gu Xinchen didn't say anything more, just took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Yes, it's me."
"Your son is back."
"In the company."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xinchen's face did not change in the slightest, and he was still busy 'helping' Gu Youbian to check important documents.
But Gu Youbian couldn't sit still at all, he suddenly stood up, walked in front of Gu Xinchen step by step, and said coldly.
"I still have to work."
Gu Xinchen's face remained unchanged, picked up the document he had been reading, and gestured casually.
"Now you know the job?"
Gu Youbian was a little angry, but he didn't know what to say, after all, it was indeed he who stubbornly threw down his job to find Wu Zhizhi, and it was understandable that Gu Xinchen took over the job.
Gu Xinchen continued: "Your mother is coming over soon. ”
"What!" Gu Youbian was shocked, "This is a company!" ”
"I know," Gu Xinchen raised his head and looked at Gu Youbian with a restrained voice, without the slightest accommodation in his eyes.
"So leave with your mother."
Gu Xinchen has heard Li Siqiao say things about his son many times, but he is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and he doesn't want to hear about his son's feelings in the company.
It was the first time for Gu Youbian to be so embarrassed, but he couldn't resist his father's majesty.
——
When Li Siqiao rushed downstairs to wait for the elevator, she happened to see her baby son walking out of it.
Gu Youbian also saw the radiant Li Siqiao, and tried to pull out a smile: "Mom." ”
"You kid is back, why don't you tell me, and ask your dad to call me to inform me, it's really disappointing to me."
Li Siqiao was happy in his heart, but he still couldn't help but blame a little on his lips.
"I just got back." Gu Youbian hurriedly explained.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, find a place to eat first, I'm starving."
Gu Youbian looked at the shopping bag in Li Siqiao's hand, and saw at a glance that Li Siqiao should have been shopping before he came, and he hurriedly took it.
"I'll get it."
Li Siqiao handed it over without hesitation, his eyes were full of relief: "You have a little eyesight." Then he grabbed Gu Youbian's arm and left the Gu headquarters building together.
The front desk saw the two and bowed to see them off from a long distance.
Gu Youbian found a restaurant with a beautiful scenery nearby, took Li Siqiao to eat Western food, and as soon as he entered, Li Siqiao couldn't wait to ask about the girl.
"You can't frame me anymore this time, and you can't change the subject, to be honest, did you catch up?"
Gu Youbian has a black line in his head, this is too direct, right? It's too much, but this is also Li Siqiao's style, and after pondering for a while, Gu Youbian decided to give it all up.
I can also ask Li Siqiao what he thinks of Wu Zhi.
"Yes
It's kind of a catch. Gu Youbian endured the joy in his heart and said as easily and plainly as possible.
"Yes, it's my son," Li Siqiao smiled with satisfaction and continued, "But what does 'should' mean?" ”
Gu Youbian took a sip of white water and looked out the window casually.
"Literally."
Li Siqiao's face suddenly fell, and when he thought of something, he couldn't bear to look at Gu Youbian directly.
"Could it be that someone rejected you, and you were embarrassed to tell me clearly, so you deliberately lied to me, right?" It's possible.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......," Gu Youbian accidentally choked, and finally took a smooth breath, so he looked at Li Siqiao very helplessly.
This is a mother's attitude towards her son's feelings?!
"It's not!"
"What's that?" No matter how you say it, it shouldn't be that you have caught up with this statement, "Where the hell is that girl?" ”
Li Siqiao still remembered that Gu Youbian said before that he didn't know that girl.
"Local." Gu Youbian wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and said honestly.
"It can't be the daughter of any family, right?"
"It's not."
Li Siqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's?" ”
"You've seen it," now that Gu Youbian has no need to hide it again, "Her name is Wu Zhizhi, and you've seen her ...... before." ”
"Wu only?" Li Siqiao muttered his name and interrupted Gu Youbian's next words.
Gu Youbian was not angry or annoyed, and nodded seriously, "Yes." ”
"Who is she?"
Li Siqiao blinked a pair of bright eyes, looked at Gu Youbian opposite with some longing, and asked, has she seen this person? But she didn't remember.
At this moment, Li Siqiao's self-righteous and proud memory went offline again.
Gu Youbian: "......." ”
Li Siqiao: "Huh? Who? ”
"That winter two years ago, you asked Xiaohong to send a maid over, and it was her." Gu Youbian had no choice but to take the trouble to help Wu only think about it.
Li Siqiao thought carefully about the winter two years ago, a girl, sent to work as a maid, ...... she had a frightened face illuminated by the headlights of the car in her mind, and the girl who was waiting in the cold wind to return the wallet to passers-by.
After a long time.
"Wu only ......, I remembered!" Li Siqiao clapped his hands violently and happily approached Gu Youbian, "It's the girl who is about your age, right?" He is very good-looking, and he is very sincere ....... ”
Gu Youbian nodded, "It's her." ”
"But how do you ...... with her," Li Siqiao really didn't think that how a boy who was so proud of the sky like his own son could look at the little maid who worked at home?
She's curious.
"Tell me what you're all about!" Li Siqiao's gossip soul was burning, his elbows propped up on the table, and he blinked to Gu Youbian with great interest.
Gu Youbian: Isn't it strange to tell your mother about your emotional experience?
But now he doesn't have a choice, the only thing he can say when he opens his mouth is to tell Li Siqiao in detail and seriously what she wants to know.
After all, Li Siqiao has always been an existence standing at the top of the Gu family's pyramid, and none of the men of the Gu family can refuse her.
Gu Xinchen is as sweet as food.
Gu Youbian and Gu Youshu have not been qualified to refuse her since they were children, so they can only nod yes.
