Chapter XXIV Conflicts of Interest

Gu Xiu personally sent Xu Ruo and Zhong Qing to the door of the bar, and after seeing Zhong Qing get into Xu Ruo's car, Gu Xiu lit a cigarette. The black Porsche disappeared into the night, and Gu Xiu raised his head and spat out the smoke ring.

Remembering Zhong Qing's frown when he first saw him smoking, Gu Xiu snuffed out the cigarette butt.

"Tsk." Gu Xiu said: "It's really unlucky." ”

Wei Lan stood behind Gu Xiu, not knowing if Gu Xiu was talking about tonight's events or everything that happened after he met Zhong Qing. As far as the trouble that Zhong Qing caused to Gu Xiu during this period of time, it was indeed quite unlucky.

But looking at Gu Xiu like this, why does he seem to be a little reluctant to Zhong Qing?

Wei Lan thought for a while and said, "Second master, you haven't been racing on the side of Panshan Road for more than half a month, Huzi has called you a few times, and the third-tier female star who left your business card last time is also thinking about dating you." ”

Gu Xiu turned around and went back to the bar, lazily coping: "I'm not available." ”

"Is it because I've been too tired lately, or is it because of ...... Miss Chung? Wei Lan's words landed, and Gu Xiu, who was about to go upstairs, stopped and turned to look at him.

"What do you mean?"

"The second master once said that no matter what happens, you will never get involved in the affairs of the Gu family and the four major families, Tianqi is a bargaining chip in your hand, as long as you earn enough for Mrs. Yun's medical expenses, you will withdraw." Wei Lan knew that what he said now was a bit out of place, but as a brother who had followed Gu Xiu for so many years, he had to remind Gu Xiu.

"But you first identified yourself in front of so many people in order to save Miss Zhong, and then you were arranged by Gu Guosheng into the Gu Group, although you said that you were unwilling to do the project, you still helped Miss Zhong save a loss in time. Second master, this is not your style. ”

For a period of time after Wei Lan said these words, the whole bar was very quiet, Gu Xiu stood by the stairs, the light avoided the corner where he was, and Wei Lan couldn't see the expression on Gu Xiu's face clearly.

The silent pressure slowly wrapped around Wei Lan's throat, his throat was dry, and he gradually became a little jealous of Gu Xiu in front of him.

Wei Lan was anxious to defend herself: "Second master, I don't mean anything else, I'm just ......"

"I know." Gu Xiu's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear joy, anger and sorrow: "The door closes early today, you go back to rest first, and tomorrow a notice will be posted at the door, prohibiting people with the surname 'Zhong' from entering." ”

After speaking, Gu Xiu raised his feet and went upstairs, leaving Wei Lan to rub his hair helplessly, listening to Gu Xiu's order that seemed to be a joke, it didn't seem like something he could say.

"Bang!"

The door of the room was vigorously shut, and Gu Xiu did not turn on the light.

The knuckles ached, and Gu Xiu didn't take any medicine, so he exposed the wound to the air and slowly scabbed over.

Now that I'm an adult, I should know what I want.

Before returning to the Gu family, Gu Xiu had thought so, but when he really stepped into the quagmire but found that it was already very difficult to keep himself from being dragged into the quagmire by the whole person, how could he get on the things around him?

It's been three years, and what should be restrained is already being restrained, he Gu Xiu thinks that he has nothing to want except money, but when Zhong Qing unexpectedly appeared in his life, why did he start to become ...... Greedy?

When I was at my poorest, I thought that money could solve everything, but once I had money, my desire was like a churning snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.

Gu Xiu suddenly found that he had become dissatisfied.

At the same time, in the Gu family villa. Gu Zimo helped Gu Ziyu hide from her parents, secretly sent her back to the bedroom, and after repeatedly telling Gu Ziyu not to go to Tianqi, Gu Zimo turned around and went out and took a look at Gu Zihan, who had just come back.

Gu Zihan glanced at Gu Zimo, then at Gu Ziyu's closed door, and said nothing.

"You didn't do it."

Behind Gu Zihan, Gu Zimo suddenly spoke.

Gu Zihan pulled his tie a little impatiently and turned his head to look at him: "What did you say at night?" ”

"Did you find the person who stirred up trouble outside the Tianqi bar last time?" Gu Zimo asked.

Gu Zihan frowned, obviously reluctant to mention this topic more: "You drank too much?" What nonsense, my father doesn't allow us to touch the heavens, last time you took Xu Ruo and Zhou Qingyu to drink, I also turned a blind eye. Do you know how much effort it took me to hide from my father about your fight? If you say such things to me now, did Gu Xiu tell you something! ”

"He didn't say anything, and I'll see it with my eyes." Gu Zimo said: "I've seen the bald head at the head, he knew you when he was a child, right?" It's just that his father later disbanded the gang and turned into a company, dismissing all his previous brothers, so he didn't appear in City A for a few years. ”

"Brother, since the matter of Tianqi has been handed over to Gu Xiu, and he has no conflict of interest with you, why do you still have trouble with him?"

"No conflict of interest? Scold. Gu Zihan no longer concealed it, and simply told Gu Zimo the truth: "His cooperation with Zhong Qing almost made me unable to get off the stage, my father handed over the most important project to Gu Xiu in front of the company's directors, even if the project is back in my hands now, it will be given to me by the group of old guys who say that Gu Xiu doesn't want it." ”

Just like what Zhong Qing said in front of Gu Guosheng and Zhong Jingtian in front of Gu Guosheng and Zhong Jingtian in the hotel-what if she gave something to others?

"Brother! How can you still get in touch with the bald heads, don't forget that you are now the general manager of the Gu Group! Gu Zimo said: "If your father finds out that you are still connected with the underworld, you will ......"

"What will happen? Penalized? Gu Xiu smiled coldly: "Zimo, you and I both grew up in this family, haven't you seen anything dirty?" Today I just want to teach Gu Xiu a lesson, what do you have to make a fuss about. ”

Gu Zimo said in a deep voice: "Gu Xiu is our Gu family, brother, even if we don't want to admit it, this is a fact that cannot be changed." Instead of fighting with him for life and death, it is better to take a step back and not interfere with the river water. ”

"The well water does not interfere with the river water? How can you say such a thing! Gu Zihan seemed to have heard a big joke: "From the day he entered Gu's house, he Gu Xiu had the purpose of dividing the family property with you and me. Now seeing that the Gu Group is getting bigger and bigger, he can't hide his fox tail, and the future Gu Group is either in my hands or in his hands, if he wins...... You know what the consequences are. ”

Gu Zimo said: "Didn't you think that Gu Xiu returned to this house just to save his mother?" He was a love debt owed by his father outside, and he never took a penny from the Gu family since he was a child, and now his mother is lying on the hospital bed and needs a large amount of medical expenses, maybe he is ......"

"Doctor Gu is really a bodhisattva." Gu Zihan interrupted Gu Zimo's words, and applauded him sarcastically: "Do you really think that people in this world are as simple as you?" Younger brother, people are not human beings in front of interests, and their own brothers may turn against each other for a dollar, let alone the entire Gu Group? ”

.

Gu Zimo was silent, he knew that what he said was just speculation, he didn't know much about Gu Xiu, he could only guess the real purpose of his return to the Gu family from the side, but now Gu Zimo suddenly found that he didn't understand the eldest brother in front of him who had grown up with him since childhood.

In the face of interests and money, what will a living person become? The answer to this question may not be known until a long time later.

Xu Ruo brought Zhong Qing, who was already asleep, back to Zhong's house, and Xu Zhiyan, who had received the call before, ordered someone to clean up the guest room, and Xu Ruo directly hugged Zhong Qing to the bed.

"Now I get the news that Zhong Qing was kicked out of the Zhong Group by Uncle Zhong." Xu Zhiyan covered Zhong Qing with a quilt and whispered to Xu Ruo: "It seems that it is because Zhong Qing has a relationship with the board of directors in private......

Xu Ruo immediately denied it without thinking about it: "Xiaoqing will never do that kind of thing." ”

"It's useless for you to believe in her alone, you need to find evidence." Xu Zhiyan saw that Xu Ruo was worried, and persuaded: "You just returned to China, this matter is still ......."

"I won't watch Xiaoqing being wronged in vain." Xu Ruo looked at Zhong Qing in the quilt distressedly, and said, "Since I know that someone wants to harm her, I will definitely protect her, no matter what the price is." ”

Back then, Xu Ruo knew that Zhong Qing had a deep love for Gu Zihan, so he always buried his love for Zhong Qing in his heart, except for his sister Xu Zhiyan, no one knew Xu Ruo's thoughts about Zhong Qing.

After hearing the news that Zhong Qing was going to get engaged to Gu Zihan, Xu Ruo, who was like ashes, went abroad with Xu Zhiyan, and he missed Zhong Qing frantically over the years, while desperately controlling himself to reduce his contact with Zhong Qing.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ruo later learned that it was not Zhong Qing but Zhong Nian who was engaged to Gu Zihan, and he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, so he bought the fastest plane ticket and returned to Zhong Qing's side.

"If Gu Xiu was bullied like this, would you also sit idly by?"

Hearing Xu Ruo's words, Xu Zhiyan sighed deeply, the current Gu Xiu was excluded by the Gu family, even if she did not return to China in the past few years, she could still know Gu Xiu's situation from the side, but she didn't expect Gu Xiu to push herself thousands of miles away.

"You have to get what you want, you can't try it once, you can try it a thousand times." Xu Ruodao: "Sister, this is what you told me back then, I always remember it." ”

Xu Zhiyan lowered her head silently, she had tried a thousand times to get close to Gu Xiu, but the result would always make her sad, Xu Zhiyan was also the eldest lady of the Xu family, even if she was flamboyant and domineering, she was still a little woman.

In the matter of chasing Gu Xiu in one direction, she didn't know how long she could last, but her liking for Gu Xiu was growing exponentially every day, and she couldn't control it.

"Why are we sisters and brothers so persistent with those who can't get it?" Xu Zhiyan patted Xu Ruo's shoulder and said, "If you like it, go after it, brother, I will fully support you." ”
