I transmigrated into a book, becoming a money-grubbing relative in the female lead's family.
My money-grubbing mother, through moral manipulation, made me join the male lead's company...
"What brings you here today?" Gu Rongqi's voice was unhurried, not like an interrogation, but more like casual conversation.
"Bai Bo and the others forced me to come." Gu Liji betrayed the three of them without hesitation. "I didn't want to come either, but I refused too many times before, so I came this time."
Fearing Gu Rongqi wouldn't believe him, he added, "Brother, look, I've dealt with all those women from before. This time, I only called Cheng Qicai. If I did what I did before, and Cheng Qicai went to complain to Su Ni, then I'd have no chance with Su Ni at all."
In the dimly lit car, Gu Rongqi's expression was not visible, but his usual tone could be heard: "Since you said in front of everyone that you would work hard, then you should have less contact with these people."
After promising Yun Suni that he would run the company well, he excitedly told everyone at the family gathering that he was going to start working seriously.
His father didn't take it seriously. Only after Gu Rongqi's repeated affirmation did his father say to him, "Since Liji has this intention, Rongqi, you should help me discipline this kid and prevent him from causing trouble."
Gu Rongqi nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle."
Gu Liji originally thought that Gu Rongqi was just casually responding to his father, but he didn't expect that Gu Rongqi would actually care about his performance at the company and would check his work situation every week.
Therefore, Gu Liji dared not refute Gu Rongqi's words and could only listen to whatever he said.
"Definitely, definitely." Gu Liji nodded vigorously, then, as if remembering something, cautiously asked, "Brother, Cheng Qicai didn't do it on purpose, you won't hold it against me, will you?"
Gu Rongqi didn't speak, and Gu Liji didn't dare to urge him to answer.
It wasn't until he dropped his brother off at home that Gu Rongqi spoke up: "If your skills aren't good, don't teach others."
Gu Liji was taken aback by what Gu Rongqi said. What did he mean by saying that his skills were bad?
No, wasn't it Cheng Qicai's technique that was bad and she hit the ball on her brother? How did the mistake become that he was bad at the technique and was teaching haphazardly?
By the time Gu Liji realized what was happening, the gate to Gu Rongqi's villa was already closed.
Enraged, he stepped on the gas and drove back.
