Chapter 126: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (37)

Liu Meiyun withdrew her hand in fear; she was afraid that Gu Sheng would really do that.

Wen Wan glanced at Liu Meiyun's figure as it receded into the distance, stopping only after it was out of sight. She then asked Gu Sheng, "Are you alright?"

Gu Sheng: "I'm fine, and didn't you hear? She came to beg me, but I'm dealing with the Lu family's company. I'm not going to agree to anything she asks for. Don't you think I'm heartless?"

Wen Wan touched Gu Sheng's face. "I don't think so."

How could she think Gu Sheng was heartless? When Gu Sheng first met Liu Meiyun, she cried so bitterly in front of her for the first time, and she didn't think Liu Meiyun was qualified to be Gu Sheng's mother.

As for Lu Chengran, it's a good thing that he's being punished for his mistakes. With the Lu family company in ruins, Lu Xiao can take his anger out on a woman, which means he's no good either. He might just be the second Gu Zhengguo, which is why Wen Wan won't pity them.

I just hope these scumbags stay away from Gu Sheng.

"You have a reason for everything you do, and even if you don't, I'll still side with you."

Gu Sheng chuckled, all the pent-up frustration from meeting Liu Meiyun earlier completely dissipating. "Favoring me? Then you'd better favor me more in the future."

"Okay, I'm so hungry right now, I feel like I could eat a whole pig. Let's hurry up." Wen Wan pulled Gu Sheng along.

"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you when I get back."

"Anything is fine."

Wen Wan wasn't a picky eater to begin with, and Gu Sheng's cooking skills didn't allow her any room for being picky.

...

For a while after that, Wen Wan didn't see Liu Meiyun again. The Lu family company was quickly suppressed by Gu Sheng and had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.

Mengxin Technology has successfully developed a series of products and reduced R&D costs, selling them at lower prices. Compared to the previous holographic helmets, which cost tens of thousands of yuan and were only available to the wealthy, the other products they are now developing are accessible to ordinary people.

She has also reached cooperation agreements with many companies, further expanding her business sector. Gu Sheng has quickly become an undeniable force in the business world. She even became an internet sensation because of her stunning looks after being interviewed by a financial column and the interview was posted online. Countless people called her "husband" online, and she gained a large number of female fans.

However, before the fans could even warm up to it, all their information was blocked.

In another interview, he stated that he already has a partner and that he only hopes people will enjoy Mengxin Technology's products, rather than focusing more attention on himself.

Gu Sheng thought that since she had explained herself so clearly, the netizens should understand, right?

Unexpectedly, netizens not only understood but also started digging into Gu Sheng's lover. Gu Sheng was the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year and had been interviewed at the time. Some classmates who knew about it came forward to talk about Gu Sheng and Liu Yayue's relationship. Several posts on the forum that exposed the two were dug up, and there were even photos of the two.

Netizens immediately recognized the two men; the man was the school heartthrob from his student days, a top student who always ranked first in the school, and had a cold and aloof personality, never getting close to anyone.

The girl was the school beauty, very pretty, and at the time she was a poor student.

A mediocre student, in order to pursue a top student, gets tutored by the top student and eventually gets into university. What kind of realistic Mary Sue campus novel is this?

Then netizens quickly discovered that the woman went abroad to study, returned five years later, and quickly became Gu Sheng's girlfriend.

Netizens quickly imagined that in the past five years, Gu Sheng went from a penniless academic genius to the head of Mengxin Technology, and then openly and legitimately embraced the person from his student days. What kind of broken mirror is this?

Soon, the two gained a CP (couple) fanbase, and even a supertopic where many fanfictions about the two were written. Those "wife fans" who hadn't even had a chance to warm up before being hit by the attack quickly shifted their focus to become CP fans of the two.

The company's public relations team monitored the online public opinion and reported it to Gu Sheng. "Should we suppress it, President Gu?"

"You mean, a lot of people ship me and A-Yuan as a couple?"

PR Director: "Yes, and we've even created a super topic on it, which now has nearly 100,000 members."

Gu Sheng: "..."

Gu Sheng took out his phone, clicked on the super topic, and saw a picture. When he opened it, it showed A Yuan wearing a school uniform being pinned down on a school desk by himself.

Gu Sheng: "..."

? ? ?

Scrolling down, I came across some bold comments. In their writings, it was suggested that he and A-Yuan might even have had a child. Some fans even explained that those five years were because A-Yuan was pregnant with his child and that he ran away with her.

But Ah Yuan wasn't an adult yet at that time, so surely she wasn't some kind of animal?

"President Gu, actually I don't recommend suppressing it. According to our monitoring, the popularity of the couple between President Gu and the boss's wife has even improved our company's image. It's much more cost-effective than hiring a spokesperson, and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks." The director asked President Gu because President Gu values ​​the boss's wife highly, but as an experienced person in handling company public opinion, she actually felt that this was not a bad thing.

“Since you think it’s feasible, then we won’t suppress it. But you need to monitor public opinion at all times and make sure there are no rumors about A-Yuan.”

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

After the PR director left the office, Gu Sheng didn't continue working. Instead, she browsed the super topic and saved a lot of pictures and text.

When Wen Wan arrived, she saw that Gu Sheng had turned off his phone with a flushed face.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Wen Wan leaned closer. "Nothing, just some company business. What brings you here?"

Wen Wan took out a food box. "My mom personally cooked this stewed chicken for you. She said you work too hard every day and she wants to give you more nourishment. I even suspect you're her real son. I don't even get this kind of treatment."

"Please thank your aunt for me."

Wen Wan scooped the chicken out of the water. "Go thank her yourself. Anyway, my mom really likes you."

Are you jealous?

"Okay, so your punishment is to make me fried chicken next time, and you also promised to make me milk tea, I want to drink it."

Gu Sheng was fed a sip of soup by Wen Wan. "Okay, I'll make it for you."

"Also, our high school class is having a party, and the class monitor somehow got my home contact information and asked if you and I wanted to go together."

Gu Sheng suddenly remembered the extremely explicit picture she had just seen, swallowed hard, and blushed.

Wen Wan touched Gu Sheng's face. "Why is it so hot? Do you have a fever?"

Gu Sheng: "..."

"No, it's just that the air conditioning isn't on. Do you want to go?"

Wen Wan nodded. "Want to? It's a good time to reminisce about my school days." Although Wen Wan had a rather painful time back then, she actually misses it now.

"Then let's go."
