Chapter 14
"Okay, I'll let Assistant Chen take care of it later." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Li Tingqin was even somewhat relieved. Little Gu actually took the initiative to raise the issue of lack of money. Compared to before when he was too embarrassed to talk about going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, this was already a great improvement.
As for the work issue, Li Tingqin frowned again...
Even if he had seen the 1 minute 58 seconds and 1 minute 57 seconds clips of Gu Chen, the total was less than 4 minutes, so his understanding of Gu Chen was still limited.
Because he couldn't see his face, after watching the editing, although he had a deeper desire to explore and appreciate Gu Chen as a person, his impression of Gu Chen was just a change from an introverted and socially anxious little guy to a little guy with gifts and talents but no way to display them.
Li Tingqin knew that Gu Chen studied finance at a domestic college and was married to him by the Gu family after graduation without ever working. The Gu family had no intention of letting him take over the Gu family business, and they didn't even have the intention of training him, otherwise they would not have sent him to boarding school since he was a child and ignored him.
What's more, if the Gu family had cared about him a little, they would have found a way to send him abroad to study if he failed to get into a prestigious domestic university through the college entrance examination. This is also the conventional path for elite education for children from ordinary families.
Out of propriety, Gu Chen did not ask anyone to check his specific transcripts from college, but judging from the two pages of study notes handed over by his secretary this morning, Gu Chen's professional talent is far more than that. Although he did not show his face in the clip, he was also very smart. But the financial circle values the most prestigious school, and Gu Chen was delayed.
It is common for the younger generations of the Li and Gu families to take over a small company after graduation to practice their skills. He gave Gu Chen the position of CFO of a subsidiary today, which was what he deserved. But he forgot that Xiao Gu had talent but had always been buried. This was related to the fact that the Gu and Qi families had long ignored him and did not allow him to participate in any family business affairs, which also made Xiao Gu a social phobia person who was unwilling to show his face.
Still have to take it slow...
Thinking of this, Li Tingqin suggested: "It's okay if you don't want to work for the time being. Why don't you go to graduate school first? Which school do you like? I'll write you a recommendation letter."
Gu Chen: “…” That is to say, why do humans have to work?
Gu Chen said: "No, thank you, Mr. Li, I will be fine if I learn slowly on my own."
"Okay." Li Tingqin realized for the first time that Gu Chen's social anxiety had become so serious that he didn't even want to go to school? It seemed that the two pages of reading notes were also the result of his self-study. In this case, he would slowly learn by himself. Although he didn't show up now, it was good for him to be willing to participate in the show and interact with people. He didn't lack the pocket money from Xiao Gu.
Gu Chen thought of the two professors' requests and said, "By the way, Mr. Li, I have a talent I want to recommend to you..." He has retired, but there are still a large number of people who need jobs, so it is time to give up his position.
Li Tingqin: "Xiao Gu, just tell me and I'll arrange it." This was the first time Xiao Gu asked him for such a thing. It should be Xiao Gu's friend. It was not difficult to arrange a job for him in Li's company.
Gu Chen said, "There are quite a lot of people. Why not arrange for the Human Resources Department to contact them and see which ones meet the requirements." He remembered that the Li family had several biological laboratories and their environmental protection work has always been at the forefront. The two professors are already big names in the industry. His help in connecting them to a job fair is actually a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
Li Tingqin: “?”
…
After finishing the chat with Li Tingqin, Gu Chen actually felt a sense of relief. After all, it was the first time for him to ask for money, and it was quite embarrassing.
However, in an instant, he received a text message: [Your account ending in xxxx received a transfer of 5,000,000.00 yuan, with a balance of 5,286,428.89. ]
Gu Chen: "......?" He just asked for some money to change the subject and establish his personality, but why did his pocket money double? Is this... a bit of inflation?
Gu Chen sent a WeChat reply to Li Tingqin: "Mr. Li, it's actually not necessary to have so much." After all, in normal plots, when someone writes a check and says "leave my son", the check is only for five million. For a passerby to enjoy a monthly pocket money of five million is still too much.
Li Tingqin quickly replied: "Xiao Gu, a sports car for a child at home costs several million. You are my partner, so don't be too polite."
Gu Chen: “…” Okay, he’s being polite.
Because he had made the phone call early, Gu Chen's live broadcast work ended earlier today than yesterday. In order to avoid any strange things from happening, he returned to the villa early and prepared to lie down in his room.
However, as soon as he walked to the public rest area on the second floor, Shen Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa playing games, called him: "Mr. Gu, I want to go to the bathroom, can you help me finish this game?"
Gu Chen still remembered that Shen Yuan was Lin Yisu’s husband, a professional player who had recently retired, and asked casually, “Where is Teacher Lin?”
Shen Yuan said: "This time is the time for my sister to exercise."
Gu Chen nodded to show his understanding of the female star's body management, reached out to take Shen Yuan's phone, and said, "Go ahead."
He looked at the game character on his phone. It seemed that he was a jungler, but his record was "0-5-3"? Wasn't he a professional player?
Gu Chen sat down patiently and spent ten minutes helping him finish the game. After waiting for a while, Shen Yuan finally came back.
Shen Yuan took back the phone and looked at the record of "11-5-6" on the settlement interface, and said in astonishment: "Ah? Did you win? You can win this?"
He failed when filling in for the jungler today, and just now he went to post on Weibo to say that it was not him who played the game, and then when he came back, “0-5-3” instantly turned into “11-5-6”?
Well, this time it was definitely not me who played it. Mr. Gu is such a mystery... He can even play games? Absurd.
He looked at everyone's ID again, OK, this time he bumped into several colleagues.
"Yeah." Gu Chen said calmly, "Your teammates are pretty good. They never give up."
"?" Shen Yuanxin said that he, a professional player, couldn't tell who was better. Mr. Gu, your attitude is so perfunctory. Don't you even try to act?
Gu Chen said: "Okay, Xiaoyuan, I'll go in first and won't accompany you."
Well, half a game only took up ten minutes, which didn't affect his going back to his room and lying down.
At the same time, Du Ruiqing also received a reply from the young master Zhong: [I asked a friend of the Li family, and he has not heard of any branch of the Li family marrying a man with the surname Gu. The second young master of the main branch has just returned from graduate school. Is Gu Chen pretending to be under the banner of the Li family? I know that people like you like to fuck up your personalities on variety shows.]
But Du Ruiqing was not a fool. He took the initiative to target Gu Chen every time, but failed every time. He did not know much about the Li family and did not want to take the initiative to expose the truth of Gu Chen's identity, so he replied: [For things like debunking fakes, only someone like you who has weight in the circle can make people believe it. I am a nobody and my words are not taken seriously. If I say it, people will just think I am looking for trouble for no reason. ]
Zhong Shao replied: [Aren't you just looking for trouble for no reason? Why did you invite him to participate in the variety show before? To laugh at him? What an idiot. Now you want to drag me down? Let's wait and see. ]
Du Ruiqing gritted his teeth, and for a moment he couldn't tell who he hated more in his heart, but even if he hated Master Zhong, he was also someone he didn't dare to offend like he did Gu Chen, so he could only say: [What about Master Zhong, what would be the appropriate situation? I see that his momentum is getting stronger and stronger now, not to mention his increasing number of fans, he's almost on the hot search list. ]
Zhong Shaodao: [A trending search is worthy of your jealousy? Don't worry, the harder you blow, the harder you fall. There will always be a time when things will turn into the opposite extreme. ]
As soon as today's live broadcast ended, the refined version hasn't even been released yet, but Lu Qingyue's fans are just like celebrating the New Year. After all, Xiao Lu is already very good at dancing, and now he has a talent for composing music. The music he composes is also top-notch. How can he not surprise his fans?
They also rushed to watch the live broadcast replay, trying to solve today's unsolved mysteries.
[It's still not right... Didn't anyone see anyone walking towards the greenhouse around the time when Xiao Lu was practicing the piano? ]
[Headache, why aren't there any cameras near the greenhouse? 】
【Ahhh, who is lying? 】
[The way the perspectives of each of my cameras are pulled back and forth really looks like the police watching the surveillance cameras second by second to find the suspect...]
When the refined version came out, analysis posts from people who followed Gu Chen popped up again.
Of course, the first thing I wonder about is the duration: [??? The first episode was 1 minute and 58 seconds, the second episode was 1 minute and 57 seconds on the first day, I thought today was the second day, so it would be 1 minute and 56 seconds...]
[It turns out that I was wrong. This time it didn’t decrease by seconds, but by minutes? ? ? And it can be directly reduced to 57 seconds? ? ? Who would see this? ]
[I thought it would be short, but I never thought it could be this short? ]
[So where should I reduce it tomorrow? It won't be 0 seconds directly, right? Oh no, -3 seconds. ]
[Well, that's normal. I just made two phone calls and read some books today. There's nothing to cut.]
Although it was only 57 seconds, yesterday's analysis was still very accurate: [I won't talk about other mysterious things about Mr. Gu today, I'll just tell you the answer to today's unsolved mystery: it's Mr. Gu.]
【First of all, Xiao Lu’s fans who were watching the replay were actually going in the wrong direction. The method is very simple. I saw Xiao Lu comparing handwriting there, and no one matched, so I immediately understood! You know, Mr. Gu is the one who wrote "Xuan Mi Pagoda Stele", "Shimen Song" and "Song of Songfeng Pavilion" to perfection! He is proficient in regular script, official script and running script, but he can't write your different fonts casually? Those who don't understand should quickly review 1 minute and 58 seconds~】
[Wow! Awesome! Even now, there is not a single second of this 1 minute 58 second movie that is wasted.]
[I never expected that the foreshadowing in the first episode could be buried here? ]
[Then Xiao Lu keeps asking questions here, so isn't Mr. Gu lying? ]
[Wait a minute, I just realized that Mr. Gu is actually the only one who was not asked by Xiao Lu whether he wrote the song. Xiao Lu just asked to see the handwriting, and then ignored Mr. Gu. Since he didn't ask, how can Mr. Gu answer whether he wrote it? ]
[Fuck, the logic is totally right, so no one is lying here... I realized that I also ignored Mr. Gu at the beginning.]
[1 minute 58 seconds, every second of the movie is a waste +1, it is really new every time you watch it]
[It’s just… Mr. Gu knows so many things and can compose music. Isn’t that a bit unscientific? ]
[Mr. Gu must have received an elite education from a wealthy family, so it’s not surprising that he can play the piano? But I think he is becoming more and more mysterious...]
[Hahahaha, Xiao Lu made the right choice by choosing Mr. Gu's "cram school". It teaches finance and music, but not love? ]
[Hahahaha, I’m a fan of Xiao Lu’s career. I never thought that Xiao Lu also has a talent for composing. I’m so happy~]
[Where is the love part missing? Didn’t Mr. Gu and Mr. Li arrange a drone show for him and Xiao Yu? CP fans are going crazy with joy, isn’t this also making up for the love part? Xiao Lu is truly a winner in life with both love and career. ]
Lu Qingyue's fans were so happy that they completely forgot that this crappy program team also organized daily voting for the cram school pairings. After all, in the past, after the initial selection, few people cared about this thing, so the pairings would not change much.
But Mu Yunting has the same traffic as Lu Qingyue, and their personalities are similar, so there is some grudge between their fans, which is what people call rivals.
In Mu Yunting's fan group, fans were discussing: [How about we all vote for Mr. Gu today and send Brother Ting to tutoring as well? ]
[I think it's okay~ After all, hahaha, I sent Brother Ting to try this cram school to see if it really wouldn't make him lose any weight~]
[Come on, come on, stir up trouble. The Lu family doesn’t think they are safe, do they? ]
So the next day, when the program team announced the changes in the guest pairings, fans of Lu Qingyue and Yu Xingzhou were stunned. How come their homes were stolen?
Mu Yunting's fans: [You two have been in this cram school for a whole day, it's my brother Ting's turn now! ]
[Quick! Brother Ting! Give me some tutoring! Don’t let us down for spending so much money to send you to a tutoring class!]
