Chapter 256 I Can't Do It
They remained silent for a long while.
Lu Fengqing asked, "What are you doing?"
Gu Suixing: "Write a self-criticism."
Lu Fengqing: "...A self-criticism?"
Gu Suixing rubbed his shoulders. "Your dad locked me up here and made me write a 10,000-word self-criticism. I can leave when I finish it."
Lu Fengqing was speechless. "So how many words have you written now?"
Gu Suixing opened the document and glanced at the word count: "1300".
This was a good opportunity, so Lu Fengqing immediately perked up and retorted in the same sarcastic way this jerk usually did: "You only wrote 1,300 words in one night? Are you clumsy or brain-dead? Should I buy you two boxes of Brain Gold to help you out?"
"..." Gu Suixing sneered, "You want to come?"
Lu Fengqing tossed her long hair aside and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not the one being punished by writing a self-criticism."
Gu Suixing: "Aren't you going to help me?"
Lu Fengqing looked completely innocent. "I don't know how."
She has never written a self-criticism since she was a child.
Gu Suixing pointed towards the door, "Or you can think of a way to break the security system in this conference room."
Lu Fengqing bluntly shattered his illusions, "I cannot do it."
That's Chaoxing Technology.
If she had that ability, she would have kicked that Xie guy off the altar and taken his place herself long ago.
"You can't do this, you can't do that." Gu Suixing narrowed her eyes slightly. "What have you been doing all night?"
Looking at jewelry and diamonds.
Of course, such blunt truths cannot be spoken.
Lu Fengqing said sincerely, "Do you know how difficult it is to see you? Chaoxing Technology's security system is among the best in the world."
"Useless." Gu Suixing scoffed. "Go find a father."
Lu Fengqing: "It's already dawn, stop dreaming."
Before Gu Suixing could speak, Lu Fengqing continued, "It's almost time to take Rui Rui to kindergarten. I also need to pick up Gu's father from the hospital later. I have an appointment with two people from the brand this afternoon, and I still need to review the design drafts for the birthday banquet hall. I'm very busy... Take your time writing. Send me a copy when you're done so I can admire President Gu's ten-thousand-word self-criticism."
After Lu Fengqing finished speaking with a smile, she decisively cut off the video.
Show the child's father through your actions that you love him a little, but not much.
Gu Suixing: "..."
Gu Suixing stared at the computer screen, and a saying popped into his mind: "If you can rely on your wife, pigs will fly."
-
Lu Fengqing turned off the computer, felt refreshed, and got out of bed to wash up.
A beautiful day begins with the news that the scoundrel has been locked in a dark room.
Lu Fengqing dropped Rui Rui off at kindergarten and then went to the hospital.
The discharge procedures weren't finished yet, and Gu Zhenjun and Huo Yao were still waiting in the ward.
Seeing Lu Fengqing approach, Huo Yao asked gently, "Why did you come?"
Lu Fengqing: "I'll pick you up and Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhenjun asked, "What about that kid?"
Lu Fengqing: "...I'm busy."
Gu Zhenjun gritted his teeth: "You brat!"
The person who helped Gu Zhenjun with his discharge procedures was Butler Fang, whom Gu Jinhong had specially sent to pick him up from the hospital.
After completing the discharge procedures, Butler Fang returned to the ward and greeted Lu Fengqing kindly, "Miss Lu."
Lu Fengqing looked at Gu Zhenjun.
Gu Zhenjun: "Butler Fang."
Huo Yao then said, "Fang Hang's uncle."
Lu Fengqing suddenly realized, "Hello."
Butler Fang: "Old Master Gu asked me to come and take the old man back to the old house."
Huo Yao said to Lu Fengqing, "Go ahead and do your work. Butler Fang can pick us up and take us back. Once your father has recovered from his injuries and is out of the old house, you can bring Rui Rui to see us again."
“Okay,” Lu Fengqing agreed.
She really didn't want to go to the Gu residence, and she didn't want to see Gu Jinhong. Since someone was coming to pick her up, she decided not to go.
However, Lu Fengqing's trip wasn't entirely in vain.
Besides visiting Gu Zhenjun and Huo Yao, he also took Huo Yao's secretary with him when he left.
Lu Fengqing stood at the hospital entrance, exchanging glances with Secretary Liu.
She was momentarily at a loss as to where to take Secretary Liu to discuss matters.
You can't exactly bring someone home.
If it's a villa, it's fine; you can partition off a living room.
When she was decorating that large apartment in Xingheli, she never planned to bring anyone home, so she didn't make it a place to entertain guests and it wasn't suitable for bringing people back.
This is outrageous. She has so much money she can't even count it all, yet she can't find a place to meet with guests and discuss serious business.
Secretary Liu seemed to sense Lu Fengqing's predicament and suggested with a smile, "President Huo has a private office. He gave me the key earlier. Why don't you come with me, Miss Lu?"
"Fine." What else could Lu Fengqing say?
After getting on the bus, Lu Fengqing made up her mind to find time to set up a private workspace.
-
The Zuo Building is the main office location, and it has many meeting rooms of various sizes, but only two large meeting rooms are connected to the restrooms. Xie Chao specially vacated one of the large meeting rooms for his adopted son, Gu Suixing, so that he could eat, drink, and relieve himself there.
Early in the morning, someone arranged for a small robot to deliver toiletries and breakfast to him.
The little robot was small and used a small door underneath the main entrance. A child could squeeze through that small door, but an adult, especially one of Gu Suixing's size, couldn't even dream of doing so, completely eliminating any possibility of Gu Suixing escaping.
With such painstaking effort, if it weren't for the fact that he still had an 8,700-word self-criticism to write, the young master would have been moved.
Not long after Lu Fengqing hung up the video call, the internet was connected in the conference room. When Huo Huai'an called, Gu Suixing was having breakfast.
"I saw your car is still at the Chaohang entrance," Huo Huai'an joked with a smile. "What, did your father-in-law keep you here to inherit his billions?"
Gu Suixing naturally couldn't tell him about being locked up here writing a ten-thousand-word self-criticism. "Is something wrong?"
"Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
What day is it?
"The day Tang Xingzhou got engaged to your cousin."
"..."
How unlucky. Gu Suixing wanted to hang up the phone.
Huo Huai'an said, "I ran into Assistant Fang when I came to the company. Assistant Fang told me that you asked him to prepare a gift to send over."
Gu Suixing: "My mom asked me to prepare it."
"No wonder." Huo Huai'an smiled. "That explains why you were so kind."
Gu Suixing hung up the phone immediately.
-
The Tang family is already showing signs of decline. Just as everyone secretly laughed at the Lu family half a year ago, they are now laughing at the Tang family in the same way.
Not to mention that the Tang family has much more to say than the Lu family. Just the three things—the internal struggle for the family property, Old Master Tang's suicide, and Miss Tang's imprisonment—are enough for people to talk about for a year or two.
However, as the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the wealth accumulated by the Tang family over generations is still beyond the reach of many people.
I just don't know how long this situation can last.
The Lu family has seen a resurgence thanks to a project in cooperation with the Gu family. The Tang family is different; the current head of the Tang family is Tang Xingchen, while the man engaged to Gu Weiwei is Tang Xingzhou. The discord between the two brothers is common knowledge within their circle. This engagement banquet is less a marriage alliance between the Tang and Gu families and more a marriage alliance between Tang Xingzhou and the Gu family. Even if the Gu family is willing to lend a hand again, it will be to Tang Xingzhou, not the Tang family.
If the Tang family wants to break this deadlock, Tang Xingchen will need to have the same abilities as the heir of the Gu family.
The Lu family's affair served as a lesson for everyone; until the very last moment, no one can predict what will happen. Even though Tang Xingzhou was ousted from the inheritance battle and Gu Weiwei is not favored in the Gu family, quite a few people still graced the occasion to attend the engagement banquet today.
Lu Fengqing was busy when she suddenly received a call from Lu Yuhan.
