112: A Pledge of New Relationship
Gu Jun had never thought of looking for his relatives, but since he already had suspicions, Gu Jun didn't want to give the initiative to others.
Jasan is very low-key, but fortunately Gu Jun has money to use. As long as there is enough pay, a private detective can dig out anyone's privacy.
Gu Jun didn't even have to make the call in front of Xu Yao; he could just send a message to his secretary and make the arrangements.
Gu Jun's money wasn't just for finding people; the second-hand nanny car he and Xu Yao had sent for modification before their departure was also ready before they returned to South City. Assistant Xiaoling drove the modified nanny car to the airport to pick them up, and along the way, she praised the reliability of the repair shop Gu Jun found:
"Sister Xu Yao, you know what? If I hadn't driven this car myself, I would have suspected that my brother-in-law had secretly changed it. This car is so comfortable to drive now!"
Xiaoling couldn’t explain how comfortable it was, but the driving experience was definitely different.
Xiaoling didn't know much about cars. She'd only driven the used nanny car Xu Yao had bought for a day before Gu Jun took it away. She couldn't remember many details about the car, and she didn't know what Gu Jun had modified or not. At first glance, the car looked the same, but when she drove it, it felt like everything had changed.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Xu Yao looked at Gu Jun with suspicion, "You're not really going to replace my car with another one, are you?"
Before Gu Jun could say anything, Xiao Ling burst into laughter. "Sister, I was just using a metaphor. The car is still the same! Take the steering wheel for example. I felt a scratch on it the other day, and it's still there."
Xiaoling pointed out the scratches to Xu Yao.
The steering wheel looks newer than before, so it must have been carefully maintained. However, the leather can be cleaned and maintained, but the original scratches will not disappear due to maintenance.
Only then did Xu Yao feel relieved.
As long as the car is still the original one, it’s okay for Gu Jun to spend some money on maintenance. This second-hand car is only priced at hundreds of thousands, so how much can it cost to maintain it?
Gu Jun glanced at the place Xiaoling mentioned and was very satisfied with the modified car owner introduced by Jiang Zhiyan.
Although the price is a bit high, you get what you pay for. The craftsmanship of making it look like new is very good!
Gu Jun's behavior was not exposed. He remained calm and acted aggrieved. "I was really just kidding when I said I found the ring. You can't sentence me to death just for this one lie, right?"
Xu Yao coaxed him, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you. But the repair shop you found is really good. I feel more comfortable sitting in this seat than before. It's just the right hardness and softness, and it's well-wrapped."
Gu Jun pulled out the excuse he had prepared long ago, "I had them replace the seats. The car was second-hand after all, and the previous owner didn't take good care of it. The leather seats have oil stains and sweat odors. You sprayed too much car perfume in the car when you bought it, so you can't smell it."
Xu Yao was disgusted by Gu Jun's description.
"You made a good change!"
"Well, I know the owner of the repair shop. They charge cost plus labor to replace the seats. This refurbishment isn't expensive."
Gu Jun's explanation was reasonable, and Xiaoling and Xu Yao were laymen, so the car issue was resolved smoothly.
After Xiaoling sent Gu Jun and Xu Yao to Shenghai Garden, Xu Yao no longer had the heart to think about the car. Wen Yiyi was like a puppy with a keen sense of smell. She sent a message to Xu Yao in a boastful tone: Your good sister Tangtang has signed a contract with our company!
Xu Yao was slightly stunned.
Then show the message to Gu Jun.
Gu Jun was very calm. "I discussed this with President Jiang before going to Iceland. Shen Yan saved Tangtang, and Tangtang is likely to sign a contract with Shen Yan's MCN company. You and Tangtang are good friends, but you can't make decisions for her career. It's actually better to separate friendship from these financial entanglements."
Xu Yao gave Gu Jun a half-hearted eye roll. "Of course I know I can't make the decision for Tangtang. Tangtang is a pretty clear-headed person. She probably had other reasons for signing a contract with Shen Yan besides repaying a favor. Anyway, Tangtang won't let herself suffer any loss!"
At least, Chen Yan must have offered signing conditions that would make Tangtang excited.
As soon as Xu Yao finished speaking, Tangtang called.
When Xu Yao picked up the phone, she asked if she could use the hands-free mode because Gu Jun was also there.
Tangtang snorted, "It's great that Gu Jun is there. I'll let him listen too. I can pass on a message to Jiang Zhiyan. I originally just wanted to go it alone, but the eldest daughter of the Jiang family used all kinds of threats and inducements on me. One moment she said the Jiang family's threshold was too high and I couldn't get in, and the next she wanted to be my ally and help me marry into the Jiang family. I'm just a small internet celebrity and I really can't afford to offend the daughter of a wealthy family. Luckily, the Jiang family is not the only wealthy family in the world!"
Tangtang's tone was not very good.
This anger was not directed at Xu Yao and Gu Jun, but at Jiang Zhiyan and Jiang Mingjia.
From Tangtang's perspective, she has made it clear that she wants to sever ties with Jiang Zhiyan, and she will not use the child as an excuse to ask Jiang Zhiyan for child support in the future. Isn't it good for everyone to go their separate ways from now on?
Jiang Zhiyan's high-profile proposal almost caused Tangtang to be kidnapped. Tangtang thought she was unlucky and did not blame Jiang Zhiyan. But then Jiang Mingjia appeared and was self-righteous. She wanted to sign Tangtang for profit. After being rejected by Tangtang, Jiang Mingjia used coercion and inducement.
Jiang Mingjia didn't expect that Tangtang really didn't want to have anything to do with the Jiang family. Jiang Mingjia kept pressing her, and Tangtang had to find an ally for herself in order to protect herself.
The Jiang family is a wealthy family, and the Shen family is not bad either. If Tangtang lives in Nancheng for a long time, she will have more advantages with the support of the Shen family.
It just so happened that Chen Yan saved Tangtang's life, so Tangtang took the opportunity to sign with Chen Yan's MCN company!
Chen Yan did not take advantage of the situation. He not only offered Tangtang a signing fee that matched her popularity, but also gave Tangtang some shares in the MCN company, making Tangtang a shareholder of the company.
Chen Yan confessed that this was "buying bones with a huge sum of money". His MCN company was not really capable of signing Tangtang, but being able to keep Tangtang was a real skill.
With a precedent like Tangtang, why worry about not being able to sign other potential internet celebrities?
"I was afraid that you would hear about the contract between Shen Yan and me from other people, so I quickly told you when you returned to China."
There was a hint of apology in Tangtang's voice. "I also thought about whether I should discuss it with you, but then I thought about you and Gu Jun on your honeymoon..."
"I understand your choice."
Xu Yao was genuinely thinking about Tangtang. "You can't offend the Jiang family and then the Shen family. I've also dealt with Jiang Mingjia before. She's an unpleasant rich girl. I don't know how far her 'Jia Le Media' can go. From a business perspective, Shen Yan is more of a businessman than she is."
Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief, "So, we're still good friends, right?"
"certainly!"
Xu Yao reassured Tangtang, "I've said it before, I am me, Shen Yan is Shen Yan, and we each have our own affairs. Whether you sign a contract with Shen Yan's MCN company or become a shareholder of his company, it will not affect our friendship. If you must say there is any impact, your previous statement of wanting to invest in my studio seems inappropriate now. I don't want to be financially involved with Shen Yan in any way... Also, I have to consider Gu Jun's feelings. I don't want to have too much contact with Shen Yan."
As Xu Yao said this, she turned to look at Gu Jun. Their eyes met, and Xu Yao's gaze was like the clear water of a lake. She refused any possibility of lingering with her ex, and this was her oath of loyalty to her new relationship.
Such a clear and concise oath, like a sharp sword, split Gu Jun's heart, which was wrapped in layers of fortresses!
