Chapter 253 I am the daughter of the Zhou family!

She didn't see anyone along the way. The office doors around her were open, and she could hear people talking inside as she passed by. But Gu Yin didn't look around. She didn't see anyone until she reached Old Master Lu's office.

Seeing the people come in, Lu Jie's serious face broke into a smile. He waved to the people inside, signaling them to leave.

When the group reporting on their work saw a little girl being brought over, they assumed it was a new person joining the department and were quite happy.

After everyone left, only Lu Jie and Gu Yin remained in the office.

Gu Yin placed the tea she had brought on the table and said with a smile, "Did I disturb your work?"

Lu Jie walked out from behind his desk and shook his head: "If you were really bothering me, I wouldn't have asked you to come here!"

After seeing what she brought, he said helplessly, "You're still a child, why are you acting like an adult! You came all this way, why bring a gift! Besides, nothing makes me happier than your thesis and your experience as a design expert!"

Gu Yin took out a stack of papers from her bag and handed them to him: "These are the papers I wrote after reading the books recently. There are also some designs I made on the USB drive."

Lu Jie's eyes lit up. He reached out and took the book, slowly flipping through it, becoming more and more satisfied with each page.

"Great job! I knew you were suited to study computer science! Look at what you've written, it's so much better than the papers I wrote after reading all those books!"

Gu Yin dared not compare herself to the big shot and immediately said modestly, "That's not true, it's just that others planted the trees!"

Lu Jiehe didn't mince words with Gu Yin, and said with a smile, "Winter break is coming soon. If you don't use your brain for such a long time, you'll get rusty."

Gu Yin blinked: "What can I do for you?"

Lu Jie tapped the armrest of the sofa and said seriously, "I want you to do a research project on your own, the kind that you can actually implement. It doesn't have to be specific to anything, but it needs to have a paper, data support, and be feasible. What do you say? Are you up for it?"

Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "Of course, I already have some promising signs. Wait for my good news!"

Lu Jie was genuinely surprised this time!

That's what makes a smart person. They don't just do whatever they're told, but when they do do what they're told, they can also figure out their superior's next move in advance and prepare accordingly. That's the mark of a smart person!

Lu Jie laughed heartily, "Hahaha, good, good, good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you! I won't ask what you're going to do for now, but I hope you'll give me a surprise later!"

The two chatted for an afternoon, and Gu Yin declined the invitation to have lunch in the cafeteria and left the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

It was still early, and since everyone else hadn't gone back yet, Gu Yin didn't return to the hotel. Instead, she took a taxi to Ying Le, a company that had been open for a long time, but she hadn't visited it yet.

After Gu Yin left, Lu Jie prepared to get up and leave to attend to other matters, but upon seeing Gu Yin's gift on the table, he reluctantly picked it up.

He opened it and saw it was tea. He smelled it and was surprised—it was quite a good aged white tea! Look at the color and the aroma, it's not very old! Oh dear, young lady! Why did you buy this stuff? It's so expensive, what if they accuse me of bribery?! Thinking of this, he immediately wrote a report to make a record, and later asked how much the tea cost so he could transfer the money to her!

Gu Yin had actually forgotten that she couldn't give gifts. In her previous life, she was in the entertainment industry, where she had to give gifts when she met people. This habit hadn't changed in a while! The main reason was that she didn't usually meet many people who were in politics!

YingLe Media is located in the High-tech Zone. After Gu Yin got out of the car, she was stunned when she saw the towering building in front of her.

Although the building doesn't belong to them, Gu Yin has to admit that the Xia family is quite capable to be able to rent two floors for office space!

There was a security guard in a suit standing guard at the main entrance. When he saw Gu Yin coming over, he stepped forward and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

Gu Yin shook her head: "No, is an appointment required to go up here?"

The other person nodded: "Yes, either someone takes you up, or you have to show your ID to get a temporary card and swipe it to go up. Without a card, you can't take the elevator."

Gu Yin understood, took out her phone and called the professional manager, Tie Mao, asking him to arrange for someone to come down and pick her up.

After signing the contract, Chu Yan, Gu Yin, and Tie Mao had a video call. Tie Mao also knew that the real boss behind the company was Gu Yin.

On the 19th floor, Tie Mao looked at the young girl in front of him and said with a smile, "Our company has just been established. Not to mention the whole country, let alone just Beijing, we don't have much strength. I can't quite understand why Miss Zhou wants to sign with our company."

Zhou Feifei raised her chin arrogantly and said, "I came here because you're a new company and haven't signed any artists yet. If you had, I wouldn't be here! I'm the daughter of the Zhou family in Hong Kong. Coming here is an insult to you! It's an honor for you! If it weren't for the Chu family's influence behind you, I wouldn't be here at all! Besides, my family also owns an entertainment company on the 9th floor of this building. I don't want people to say I'm just here because of my family background as soon as I debut. Even if I'm just here to have fun in the entertainment industry, I'll do it based on my own abilities! Why won't you sign me!"

Tie Mao was speechless. Condescending to be respected? On what grounds? Tsk tsk tsk, look at these words! Still acting like it's the old society? This attitude is truly ugly! Is this the kind of upbringing the Zhou family of Hong Kong is like? Disappointing!

He kept complaining in his mind, but Tie Mao didn't show any displeasure on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a disservice to you to come here! Since you know that the Chu family is behind this company, you should also know that I can't make the decision on my own. I still need to ask them whether or not to sign you!"

Zhou Feifei frowned. Thinking of the Chu family, she really had no choice but to nod and say, "Then ask now!"

Tie Mao: "...Okay, please wait a moment." Doesn't this person understand that I'm telling him to hurry up?

Tie Mao had no choice but to contact Chu Yan.

When Chu Yan first heard that the person to be signed was someone else, he told Tie Mao to handle it himself. But when he heard that it was someone from the Zhou family in Hong Kong, he frowned and said, "I won't sign."

Not only Tie Mao heard these words, but Zhou Feifei herself also heard them!

She had never been so embarrassed! She immediately shouted angrily, "Fine, don't sign then! What's so great about it! My Zhou family will remember the humiliation you've inflicted upon us today! Humph! We originally came here to cooperate, but we didn't expect this attitude from you! It seems we'll have to rely on our own abilities from now on! Humph, the business world is like a battlefield. If you do anything wrong in the future, I hope you'll remember today! We'll see!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and walked out.

Tie Mao hung up the phone, unable to suppress a sneer. Declaring war on the richest family—he wondered if Old Master Zhou would be so angry he'd vomit blood if he found out. After all, for a behemoth like the Chu family, cooperation was far better than making enemies! That someone like this was the Zhou family's daughter—wasn't that a misfortune for the Zhou family?

When the phone rang, Tie Mao saw that it was the big boss calling and immediately answered it. Hearing that the other party was downstairs, he hurriedly got up and went down to meet him in person.

After Gu Yin finished answering the phone call, the security guard pointed to the sofa in the lobby and said, "You can go inside and sit down to wait; it's windy here."

In January, the capital city was bitterly cold. After standing outside for a while, Gu Yin's ears were almost frozen. Luckily, she had worn a hat and mask when she came out today, otherwise she would not have wanted to come here!

Gu Yin nodded and entered the hall. The hall was air-conditioned, and as soon as you entered, the heat hit you. It was much more comfortable than outside!

Gu Yin saw hot water and disposable cups at the front desk. Her hands were a little cold, so she got up and walked over there.

She turned around after getting the water and was about to walk back when she was bumped into by a hurried figure. Luckily, she had good balance, but the hot water she had just gotten seemed to have spilled on the person who bumped into her.

"Aaaaaah! This is mad! Are you blind?! Didn't you see where you were going?! Aaaaah! My newly received bag! I'm so angry! Aaaaah!!"
