Chapter 54
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he found that Li Jiashu had been silent for a long time.
Looking at his facial expression from the side, he was excited as if he had finally figured it out. Gu Chen thought he was going to draw some conclusion from his words, but then he became indignant...
Finally, Gu Chen heard him sighing deeply and said with regret: "Sister-in-law, you are so pitiful. You have worked so hard to acquire so many skills, but now that you are about to retire, you are forced to marry a man. If you complete this task and retire successfully, won't it become your second marriage?"
Even though Gu Chen was mentally prepared for what Li Jiashu would say, he still felt an indescribable confusion at this moment: "...Huh?"
He tried to be as tactful as possible and said, "Although he was assigned to this position, your brother is actually a nice person." How did Jiashu grow up to this age without having his legs broken by President Li?
But Li Jiashu sighed sincerely and said, "Alas, sister-in-law, it is actually our Li family that has delayed you." Although his brother has also made contributions to the country, he only gave his sister-in-law some pocket money, which is completely disproportionate to her efforts. It can only be said that the country is too good to the Li family.
"Sister-in-law, you are so selfless... The Li family really doesn't know what they can do for you." Sister-in-law always treats money as dirt. The money that was supposed to be his was either invested in scientific research or distributed to Li's employees. He really doesn't know what kind of reward his sister-in-law can get for this retirement mission.
Gu Chen: “…” He gave up. He felt that he could not save the child’s brain circuit.
So Gu Chen also sighed, and said with a pitying tone and a smile: "Jiashu, sister-in-law suggests that you say these words to your brother again and see what your brother will say." I have said too much today and don't want to talk anymore, so let President Li talk slowly.
Li Jiashu turned his head instantly, with an expression of enlightenment, and said: "Sister-in-law, I understand."
In fact, my sister-in-law is such a skilled person, and she is idle in the Li family every day just for her brother's task. It's really a waste of talent. I'm afraid she also feels aggrieved that her ambitions cannot be fulfilled. But this is my sister-in-law's task, and I guess my sister-in-law can't say it, so I can only say it myself.
Gu Chen held his forehead and sighed, "Forget it, Jiashu, you'd better not say anything." It would be very noisy when the ambulance comes.
Li Jiashu swore solemnly: "No, no, no, sister-in-law, you have to believe me."
And too many things happened tonight, Li Jiashu's excitement has not subsided yet, and he said: "It's so late, sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, why don't we go eat hot pot and talk slowly." Sister-in-law is really cool! He still has a lot of things he wants to know!
Gu Chen said, "It's so late, I need to go back in time to eat something light and then go to bed. So Jiashu, drive me up the mountain now."
Li Jiashu: “…”
…
Although most of the ordinary employees had gone off work, Vice President Xu was still dealing with the follow-up matters of this matter. He returned home in the early morning, touched his head, which had very little hair to begin with, and found... a lot of hair had fallen out again!
He felt bad. During the three months when Mr. Li was abroad, he was in charge of the work in China. He was really exhausted and worked overtime every day. However, he only had the ability to assist and did not have the talent to steer the ship. Sigh, it was really frustrating...
Mr. Li and Mr. Gu were talking on the phone and being affectionate with each other. Mr. Gu could go home early and continue talking on the phone with Mr. Li, but he could only go home late at night to see his wife who was already asleep.
God knows how much he hopes that President Li will hire a new CEO. He doesn't want to do this job anymore.
Mr. Li, you should quit your job since you are away from home every day and abroad.
Can you find someone capable quickly?
…
Li Tingqin and his team quietly accomplished this great feat abroad. Although it was ultimately safe and sound, the Li family still felt a little scared when they learned the details afterwards.
Although Mr. Li felt that he did a good job, he was old and his heart could not bear it to happen twice. He immediately ordered Li Tingqin to return home as soon as possible while ensuring his safety. The longer Li Tingqin stayed abroad, the more worried his family would be.
However, there are still many issues left over from this incident. Li's announcement of the leakage of R&D data did cause negative impact on public opinion. Even if they responded quickly to the hacker attack, shareholders still had doubts about whether this R&D project would be preempted by competitors.
After all, this was the impact of Li Tingqin's choice, so when he returned to China, he chose to settle in City H and go back to the group to deal with the problem first.
The old man was waiting at the old house in City A, while Li Jingwei immediately turned down all work, freed up time, and rushed to City H. The film she had shot before had already entered the editing stage, so she was not that busy.
Even Li's father and mother in Continent E arranged a flight overnight and rushed back to City H in China after hearing the news.
The outside world only learned about this news from the news when Li Tingqin was released by the police of Country A and his legal team later filed a lawsuit against the police.
Gu Zhongmao looked at the newspaper and said, "Li Tingqin actually caused such a big incident without making any noise? These financial groups in Country A shout that private property is sacred and inviolable, and shout about fairness and justice, but if they really want to deal with foreign companies like us, they will use any despicable means."
"Li Tingqin is still too young and impetuous. No matter how competitive the Li family is, if they show off their strengths in other people's territory, how can they not attract local financial groups to attack them..." He raised his eyes and looked at Gu Kang, and said, "Ah Kang, this is also a very educational lesson. You can learn from Li Tingqin's lesson."
Gu Kang nodded and said, "Yes, father. Although Li Tingqin has been released by the police and can return to China, some of Li's research and development data has been leaked. Even if the hacker is caught, the loss cannot be recovered. I am afraid it will be difficult for Li Tingqin to explain to the shareholders."
"Indeed." But when it comes to this issue, Gu Zhongmao is a little disappointed. "It's a pity that Li Tingqin was not detained for a few months. If he is detained in country A for a long time, the Li family will be leaderless. As his legal partner, your brother may still have some opportunities to take advantage of... Now it seems that your brother may still be locked up in the mountains by the Li family and can't get out."
Gu Kang thought for a moment and suggested, "Since Li Tingqin has encountered such an incident this time, Mr. Li Hongying and Ms. Liang Qing will definitely return to China to see their son. Instead of dealing with Xiaochen's problem, why not talk to Li Tingqin's parents and maintain a good relationship with their in-laws?"
"In the past few years, our family has also begun to decline. Now the Li family treats us as an ordinary partner in the southern market. Marrying Xiao Chen to them has no effect at all on marriage. Now we must emphasize this close relationship with Mr. Li Hongying and others."
Gu Zhongmao nodded and said, "Yes, I will indeed visit them in person when the time comes."
After Gu Zhongmao arranged this matter, he turned to Gu Heng and said, "By the way, Ah Heng, how is your investigation going on with that young Mr. Gu?"
Gu Heng's face looked a little ugly. Although it was not difficult to inquire about a person or ask for a photo, those companies in the environmental protection field were easy to talk to when things were easy, but when it came to the critical moment when he wanted to find something, they didn't give him any face at all. If he asked his father and brother to talk to these bosses in person, they would definitely give it, but his father would definitely question his ability.
So Gu Heng said: "Father, Mr. Zhang from Shili has agreed to send me photos of the venue. I believe we will soon be able to find out who this young Mr. Gu is."
There are indeed companies willing to give him the photos, but they require him to sign a hazardous waste disposal contract at a high price. He had initially pressured these companies to lower their prices, but now he is being held back by them. But now it seems that in order to get the photos in time, he can only choose one to sign.
Gu Zhongmao said, "Okay, I need to find someone as soon as possible so that I can make time to meet with Mr. Gu as soon as possible."
However, I heard that the problem of the Li family's network being attacked yesterday was solved by a chief engineer named Gu? Could it be another person from this mysterious Gu family? The Gu family has so many talented people that it makes people jealous...
When Li Hongying and Liang Qing returned to City H, Li Tingqin had not yet returned to China. The couple thought that even if he was released from detention, the matters in Country A still needed to be concluded, and he would definitely not be able to return home as quickly as the two of them who were idle and had to wait for the news.
However, not long after they got off the plane, they received a call from their relative-in-law Gu Zhongmao, who wanted to invite them to dinner to welcome them.
In fact, they were not familiar with Gu Zhongmao or even the Gu family. They only had a meal with Gu Zhongmao when Li Tingqin and Gu Chen got married. However, since their son had married the second son of someone else, they should accept the invitation of their in-laws out of courtesy.
In order to maintain this in-law relationship, Gu Zhongmao spent a huge amount of money and directly booked a top-notch restaurant. Money was not a problem, it was mainly to show his status. After all, this kind of reservation-based restaurant generally does not accept private bookings.
Gu Zhongmao and his two outstanding sons arrived at the restaurant early in the morning and waited for their turn. They found that even the owner of the restaurant came out to wait with them. It seemed that the service in this restaurant was quite good.
However, when Li Hongying and Liang Qing arrived, the boss took the lead to greet them and said, "Mr. Hongying, long time no see!"
Li Hongying also hugged the boss warmly and said, "Old Wu! I didn't expect to have my first meal at your restaurant after returning to China. Not bad, not bad."
"......?" Having lost the initiative, Gu Zhongmao could only awkwardly step forward and interrupt, "My dear relatives, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
The boss, Old Wu, said, "Mr. Gu said he wanted to book the entire place for you guys, and I agreed immediately! I wish you would owe me two more favors and paint two more paintings for me!"
Old Wu enthusiastically introduced to Gu Zhongmao: "Mr. Gu, look, this painting on the wall was created by Mr. Hongying."
Gu Zhongmao: “…” How could this couple have such a great reputation?
He knew that Mr. Li's eldest son and daughter-in-law were a useless painter and a useless female archery athlete, without any business talent. At the beginning, the old man wanted to retire and let the couple go to work for a while. They almost bankrupted the Li family. It was not until the brilliant Li Tingqin appeared that the Li family became glorious again.
"That's right. Mr. Hongying's talent is rare in this world." Gu Zhongmao couldn't understand the painting at all. He responded twice and said, "Mr. Hongying, Ms. Liang, look... shall we take our seats now?"
Li Hongying was dressed casually, while Liang Qing was full of heroism. He was more proactive when speaking, raised his chin, and said directly: "Okay, sit down."
Li Hongying pulled out a chair for Liang Qing. Gu Zhongmao glanced at it and was a little disapproving. It would be fine if the other party was a relative, but in the Gu family, it was impossible for women to sit at the table when the men were discussing matters.
The two parties sat down and had their meal. Gu Zhongmao had some polite exchanges with Li Hongying, while Liang Qing just ate his own food and didn't respond at all.
After expressing his concern and worry about what happened to Li Tingqin and easing the couple's mood, Gu Zhongmao got straight to the point and said, "Alas, it's strange to say, since Xiaochen got married, we can no longer contact Xiaochen. We can't see her in person or call her."
"After making inquiries from many sources, we found out that Xiaochen had moved to Songhe Mountain on the outskirts of the city to live alone. But when we, A Kang, wanted to go see him, we were turned away by the guards at the foot of the mountain..." Gu Zhongmao shook his head and sighed, as if he was really worried about his son.
Liang Qing frowned and looked at him, not knowing what Gu Zhongmao was going to say.
Gu Zhongmao continued, "I heard that Tingqin has been renovating the garden on the outskirts of the city recently. It's normal for young people to like the new things outside... But... After all, Xiaochen is Tingqin's partner who was married to the Li family. If Tingqin doesn't like her, he can just keep her at home as a decoration. I am an introverted child and I am very law-abiding. I will not interfere with Tingqin's external affairs. After all, the marriage between Xiaochen and Tingqin also represents the cooperative relationship between our two families..."
Gu Zhongmao felt that he had been tactful enough and was about to focus on the key points of future cooperation.
However, Liang Qing interrupted directly, "You mean, Tingqin locked Xiaochen in the mountains because he found a new lover? Stop talking. I know my son. He can't cheat. If he cheats, we'll break his legs first."
Gu Zhongmao was almost choked. He was talking about the Li family. What would a woman named Liang say at the dinner table?
He looked at Li Hongying with a questioning look, and Li Hongying said, "Yes, Sister Qing is right."
Gu Zhongmao: “…”
Liang Qing glanced at Gu Zhongmao and began to think that he had bad intentions. They could not believe Gu Zhongmao's words so easily.
When the Li family was developing the southern market, they did have in-depth cooperation with the Gu family, but in their opinion, there was no need for an alliance. They didn't quite understand why Tingqin wanted to marry Xiaochen. However, the couple didn't know much about business matters, so they chose to respect and support their eldest son's decision.
After that, they simply held a banquet to announce their marriage. A few days after the wedding, Tingqin went abroad. Xiaochen, the child who took care of Zhongmao, said that he should have moved to Songhe Mountain to live. There must be some hidden story behind this.
Seeing is believing. Liang Qing put down his chopsticks and said, "In that case, let's end the meal here. We have to go to the mountain to see Xiao Chen. Mr. Gu, I'm sorry."
Gu Zhongmao was stunned. He hadn't even started talking about the main point yet. He looked at Li Hongying for help. Li Hongying nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Qing is right. Let's go now."
These two people are not from the business world, so they just won't give face. Gu Zhongmao looked at their backs, feeling a little confused.
How did Li Hongying, a henpecked husband, raise a son like Li Tingqin, who locked up Gu Chen and was about to find a new lover?
Alas, if only Li Tingqin was also like Li Hongying, a henpecked husband. Then wouldn't the Li family be in the Gu family's pocket?
…
Gu Chen was not surprised that Li Tingqin's parents would return to China, but he was a little surprised that they came to see him first.
But they would have to meet sooner or later, so Gu Chen didn't feel uncomfortable. He took out some good tea and made some himself to entertain them.
Li Hongying looked at Gu Chen's smooth movements and calm expression, and said, "Xiao Chen, let dad come. I just came to disturb you in a hurry, why should I trouble you so much." There are not many young people who can do these things.
Gu Chen said, "It's okay." He was going to drink it himself.
Li Hongying drank the tea brewed by Gu Chen and knew that Gu Chen really could do it.
He saw some paintings hanging on the walls of the annex and was immediately fascinated...
"Xiao Chen, which artist did you choose to paint this..." He was about to ask, but when he saw the signature, it turned out to be Gu Chen? !
He paused: "You didn't draw this yourself?!"
Gu Chen nodded and said, "Some of my idle works..."
Li Hongying was immediately shocked. It was actually drawn by Xiao Chen himself. Oh my god! Xiao Chen is still so young, but his level is already easily better than his? ? ?
Li Hongying said excitedly: "Xiao Chen, why don't you paint a few more paintings? Dad supports you to hold an exhibition. Do you have other paintings..."
Liang Qing came in from outside and saw Li Hongying excitedly holding Gu Chen and talking about something. She asked, "Hongying, what are you doing?"
Of course, she knew it was not easy for her son to find a satisfactory partner. But Hongying was not such an unrestrained person, was she? Why was she so excited about Xiaochen?
Li Hongying said: "Uh... I want to discuss some painting matters with Xiaochen..."
Liang Qing turned the bow he had just taken out of the trunk and said, "Why don't we try this first, Xiao Chen? I heard from Jingwei that you also know swordsmanship. I think these sports are interconnected. Are you interested in trying it?"
Gu Chen said, "I'm not very good at it, but I can try." They were waiting here together for Li Tingqin to come back. It was quite boring to just wait like this, so it would be okay to play with bows and arrows together for a while.
The two randomly found a target in the yard, and Liang Qing said, "Xiao Chen, do you need me to teach you..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Gu Chen raise his hand, draw the bow, pull the string, and casually shoot an arrow that instantly hit the bull's eye.
"Uh..." Liang Qing said, "These exercises really are universal..."
Then, she saw Gu Chen shoot out a few arrows quickly and efficiently, and every arrow hit the target.
Liang Qing was stunned for a few seconds. Although Gu Chen's posture was rather casual and not so standard, it felt like he had already surpassed her as a professional player.
Finally, she came to her senses and said excitedly: "Xiao Chen! You are a natural archer! Are you interested in following me into the professional world?"
Gu Chen gently put down the bow and arrow, shook his head, and said: "Sorry, I don't have this plan for the time being, but it's still okay as a hobby."
Liang Qing nodded and said, "I've heard that you, Xiaochen, love sports. It seems that you are really talented in this area..." She has already switched to coaching, and she can tell at a glance whether she is a good candidate.
Li Hongying, who was watching the game, smiled and said, "Sister Qing, why are you so excited?"
The more they looked at Gu Chen, the more satisfied they became. They just wondered what kind of genius their son had married home.
Tingqin has always wanted to find a partner who is in tune with him, so he remained single until he was 28. Now he has finally found Xiaochen, which is really rare. They couldn't be more perfectly matched.
As for the questions raised by Gu Zhongmao, they were confused. After all, their son did go abroad right after getting married, and Xiaochen did live in the mountains.
However, they were not the kind of people who would make random guesses, so they asked directly: "Xiao Chen, why do you live alone in the mountains? Aren't you lonely?"
Gu Chen said: "It's okay, living alone is still very comfortable. But when Tingqin returns, he and I will move to Yiyuan."
Liang Qing nodded and said, "That's good. Alas, I'm so sorry that Tingqin has spent the past few months to accomplish this." Since it is not the conspiracy theory that Gu Zhongmao said, that's good.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
The more they interacted with Gu Chen, the more they felt that he was a very good-natured child. However, they soon received a call from Li Jiashu: "Mom and Dad, where are you? My brother has returned to China, but he is going to the group soon. I am going to pick him up at the group. What about you?"
Liang Qing said: "After Tingqin finishes his work, he will go back to the villa to see Xiaochen, right? We will stay with Xiaochen in the villa and wait for him to come. Alas, we are fine, but he is too sorry for Xiaochen."
Even the in-laws had such outrageous suspicions. Tingqin had finally found someone like Xiaochen, so he must cherish her.
"Yes, yes, hey, my brother is really..." Even my parents think so... Li Jiashu listened and made up his mind, "It's okay, I'll talk to him about this matter when I go to pick him up later."
…
Li Tingqin hurried back to China. Before he had time to rest, he immediately went to the group to handle work. The sooner he finished it, the sooner he could return to the villa to see Achen.
In fact, the group’s shareholders were not very upset about the “data leakage” issue. Although the details of the incident were confidential and could not be understood specifically, they also knew that this was still related to the safety of Li Tingqin’s team.
Li Tingqin came to power at a young age, and everyone has witnessed the achievements he has made over the years. Although they are some important research and development data, compared with the safety of the team at the helm of the group, people are more important.
They all hope that their colleagues who went to country A to develop the business, whether it was Li Tingqin, the senior executives, the R&D personnel, or the ordinary employees, could return home safely.
So, when Li Tingqin brought people back, the atmosphere of the entire group was joyful.
After accepting everyone's welcome and concern, Li Tingqin still expressed his apologies and gratitude to everyone who stayed in the country and worked hard.
Then, he held a meeting to arrange the work that needed to be arranged, and also responded and explained the matter.
In fact, the data left in that laboratory only contained some rough test results, but not the core parts. Even if the other party saw it, it would be difficult to replicate it.
Moreover, the other party doesn't even dare to conduct research and development in this direction openly. Once they produce any related results, it would be the same as jumping out in front of the whole world and saying that I am the murderer, and they will also face Li's accountability and lawsuit.
After doing everything he should do, Li Tingqin said to everyone, "Sorry, everyone, I still have to leave work early today. I have to go home quickly to report to my family that I am safe."
Everyone smiled and expressed their understanding: "Haha, I get it! Mr. Li, please go home quickly! The old man, your parents, the eldest lady, the second young master and others are probably waiting anxiously." They all heard the news that Li Hongying and his wife and Li Jingwei were rushing over.
Li Tingqin smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work." In fact, there was someone waiting for him at home.
Seeing Li Tingqin packing up his things in the office and about to leave, Vice President Xu, who had been hesitant to speak, finally knocked on his door and said, "President Li, there is something I want to talk to you about."
Li Tingqin asked, "What's wrong? Is it something important? My partner is waiting for me at home."
Vice President Xu closed the door and made up his mind. Yes, his wife was waiting for him at home, and he couldn't lose his hair anymore.
Vice President Xu said: "Yes, it is indeed a very important matter."
He said step by step: "That is... you may go abroad in the future, right?"
Li Tingqin said: "I will stay in China in the near future, but I don't rule out this possibility in the future." At least in the next two years, he will stay in China to accompany Ah Chen.
Vice President Xu continued, "So it's done? Then who will be in charge of the work in China when you go abroad?"
Li Tingqin said: "I won't be abroad for much time. If I am to be abroad, please take over temporarily. I also believe in your ability."
Vice President Xu immediately said, "No, no, no! In this case, I suggest that you stop being the domestic executive president, or that I stop being the vice president."
Li Tingqin finally showed a surprised expression: "?"
Vice President Xu explained: "What I mean is...why don't you give up your position and ask Mr. Gu to be the CEO? This way, you can work abroad with peace of mind. With Mr. Gu in charge of the work at home, you can no longer be at ease. Or you can continue to be the CEO, and I will give up my position and step down, and Mr. Gu will be the vice president. This way, when you leave, Mr. Gu can still be in charge of the work..."
Li Tingqin didn't understand for a moment and asked, "Which Mr. Gu?" During the time he was away, had Mr. Gu become a specific person?
Vice President Xu was confused and asked, "Mr. Gu, isn't he your partner?"
Li Tingqin: "......?" Ah Chen? He had invited Ah Chen to be the O of the subsidiary, but suddenly Mr. Xu wanted to invite Ah Chen to be the CEO of the group? Also, his marriage to Ah Chen had not been announced yet, so how did Mr. Xu know Ah Chen?
Vice President Xu seemed to realize something and continued, "Boss Li, stop pretending. You married someone as powerful as Mr. Gu, but you kept it a secret from everyone? I tell you, you must make up for the wedding candy..."
Li Tingqin asked, "Mr. Xu, why do you say that?" However, there are indeed many mysteries about Ah Chen that he has not yet explored...
Vice President Xu was speechless. He said tiredly: "...Okay, if you two want to have fun, go home and do it. I'm an old man with few hairs and can't afford to play with you. Anyway, I'll leave my opinions and suggestions here for now. For the rest, go home and ask your wives." He didn't tell Mr. Gu about what happened yesterday at his request. The two of them can still go home and play the guessing game slowly.
Watching Vice President Xu close the office door, Li Tingqin: "..."
But with this doubt, Li Tingqin thought deeply and began to organize his thoughts. Where did everything start?
He first sent a message to Li Jingwei, saying, "Jingwei, can you give me a copy of the footage of Ah Chen's previous film performance?"
Li Jingwei replied immediately, "Of course!" She personally supervised the editing of the Gu Chen segment, cutting it out perfectly frame by frame. She felt that these few minutes of footage could be kept as a family heirloom.
"But brother, you just came back from such a dangerous place, and the first thing you said to me was to ask for your sister-in-law's video? Did you really feel the preciousness of love only after experiencing danger?"
"Yeah." Li Tingqin tried to wait calmly.
While waiting for the video to be transmitted, Li Jingwei watched it again. She was still very excited after watching it, so she said with emotion: "Brother, let me tell you, there is no such a fairy-like sister-in-law in the entertainment industry. There is no substitute on the entire Internet. However, if you marry, grandpa will definitely not let you show your face in public. It's really a pity... To be honest, brother, you really delayed my sister-in-law's entry into the entertainment industry."
Li Tingqin: “…”
After a "long" wait, he finally received the video.
The fingertips that rested on the screen trembled. The images on the phone, after editing and preliminary special effects processing, showed Ah Chen's extraordinary demeanor, unlike that of an ordinary person. It turned out that he could not hide his demeanor and style since then...
Li Tingqin went downstairs even more anxiously, but not only was the driver waiting for him downstairs, Li Jiashu was also waiting for him. When he saw him, he immediately said excitedly: "Brother! I'm so glad you're okay!"
Li Jiashu rushed over first, checked him again to see if he was missing any limbs, and said, "Brother, let's go. I'll take you to the villa. Mom and Dad have already gone there."
"You're sending me off? Don't you hate riding in the same car with me?" Li Tingqin looked at him and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Can't you let me take care of you first before we talk about business?" Li Jiashu opened the car door for him and said, "Mr. Li, please get in the car."
Li Tingqin got in the car, but first said: "I have something else to do, so I won't take your car. Tell me what you want."
"I know. Do you want to talk to your sister-in-law in the car alone? Do you not want me to be a light bulb?" Li Jiashu raised the car window again and said mysteriously, "But what I want to talk about now is exactly about my sister-in-law."
Li Tingqin finally became interested and looked up at Li Jiashu. He knew that the last time Ah Chen wore his clothes and Jiashu suddenly appeared in the villa, Jiashu had been hiding things about Ah Chen from him. It seemed that he was finally willing to tell him now.
Li Jiashu prepared himself for a long time before finally saying the first sentence: "Brother, although sister-in-law is an agent assigned to you by the country..."
"......?" Li Tingqin felt that the first sentence was unreliable and interrupted him immediately, "Jiashu, wait a minute, what did you say?"
Li Jiashu was interrupted and felt that he had to prepare himself mentally. After a long pause, he said, "Agent, agent! Before you went to Country A to carry out the mission assigned by the country, the country arranged for your sister-in-law to replace Gu Chen, the original Gu family member, and marry you to protect you. Don't think I don't know!"
Li Tingqin: "..." Hearing such an outrageous statement, Li Tingqin seemed to be thinking about something. Something very important must have happened to make Jiashu have such a guess. Replaced the original Gu Chen...
He said, "What else do you know? Keep talking."
Li Jiashu sighed: "Oh, it was my sister-in-law who helped me with the last integration negotiation, and it was also my sister-in-law who solved the problem of the group being attacked. My sister-in-law is really amazing. Not only can she write code and kill hackers in seconds, but she also strategized and rescued you with one move yesterday..." When he thinks about it again now, he is shocked.
Li Tingqin's eyes finally showed a strong wave of emotion. It turned out that the tacit response from yesterday was the work of Ah Chen.
He had long felt that Ah Chen was different from the original Gu Chen, and thought that he had finally revealed his original character after leaving the bad environment after marriage. Now it seems...
Whether it was the integrated negotiation that impressed everyone, or the use of code to defeat hackers in a short time, or the victory thousands of miles away that coincided with his decision... they all seemed to be completely different from the rumored introverted, extremely socially anxious, and materialistic second son of the Gu family. These would not be the skills that the original Gu Chen's life experience could master.
But, this is the person I like. Knowing this, I seem to understand Ah Chen's charm even more...
Li Tingqin maintained a calm voice and said, "I know all this. Then, Jiashu, what do you want to express?"
Li Jiashu sighed and said, "I told you, brother, you must have known all this when you were sent abroad on a mission, but you kept it from me, so I foolishly thought it was my sister-in-law's magic. Yes... Only the country can cultivate such top talents..."
Li Tingqin interrupted him and said, "Get to the point." He was still waiting to go back and see Ah Chen.
At this point, Li Jiashu prepared himself mentally again, and finally said weakly: "Brother, my sister-in-law's retirement task is to marry you. Doesn't that mean she will be married for the second time after completing the task? Moreover, my sister-in-law is such a capable person. After retiring from such an organization, she must use her abilities to do something big. Look, so many civil servants have resigned to start their own businesses..."
"So if sister-in-law wants to divorce you after completing her mission, you should not delay her. Sister-in-law has done enough for our Li family. We cannot blackmail her morally... Sister-in-law should go out and build a business empire of her own!"
Li Tingqin: “……?” Very good.
Li Jiashu waited for a long time, but got no response. He panicked and said, "Brother? Brother! Why don't you say anything?"
Li Tingqin did not get angry but laughed instead, and said, "But Achen and I have done what we should do, and I'm afraid he can't return me." He didn't believe that Achen was an agent, but he had kissed her before, and no matter who Achen was or what unknown secrets he was hiding, he would never let him go.
Hearing this, Li Jiashu was so shocked that he almost jumped up and said, "Ahhh! Brother! How could you take advantage of someone's misfortune! How could you do something private for official business! You are infringing on state employees!"
But Li Tingqin ignored him, opened the car door and said coldly: "I still have to go back to see your sister-in-law. Let's have a good chat next time." Then he helped Li Jiashu close the door.
After getting in his car, Li Tingqin immediately asked the driver to drive to Songhe Mountain. Sitting in the back seat, he pondered for a while, then began to search the keyword "Mr. Gu" on the Internet, and sure enough, many related contents appeared.
In fact, everything should have started earlier.
Ah Chen knows tea ceremony, loves sports, understands music, can play e-sports, and is a matchmaker for job seekers... He has mastered countless skills, and everyone has long been amazed at how powerful and mysterious "Mr. Gu" is.
However, I was confused by the situation and fell into the stereotyped mindset from the beginning. I thought Ah Chen was a weak person who needed care. Although I felt that his personality was different, I never thought that they were not the same person.

Li Tingqin walked in against the light and saw Gu Chen lying in a rocking chair in the afterglow of the setting sun. He felt a sense of trance and unreality as if he was meeting him for the first time.
It was time for dinner, but Li Tingqin still hadn't come back, so Gu Chen sat in the rocking chair in the yard waiting for him. He picked up a book to read, but as he read, he found it boring, so he covered his face with the book and lay down in the rocking chair, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset.
As he was lying there, he suddenly remembered that President Li was busy with overseas affairs this month and seemed to have forgotten to give him the 5 million pocket money. He didn't know if the Yun family still had research and development funds. He could only wait for President Li to come back.
But after he lay there for a while, he felt someone taking away the book that was covering his face.
Then, he saw Li Tingqin standing against the light in the fiery shadow of the setting sun, holding out his hand to him and saying, "Hello, Mr. Gu, let's get to know each other again."
Gu Chen lazily reached out his hand to him, put his hand in his, and said with a smile: "Boss Li, why haven't you sent me my pocket money for this month?"
